After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 492 - 336: _2

Tang Xi stood up, ready to leave.

At this moment, Liang Wen Yue called out to her, "Tang Xi, my daughter does indeed like pearl-style designs. Send me your design draft tomorrow morning for a look."

Tang Xi’s face brightened, and she nodded hastily.

At this moment, Qin Mo’s expression stiffened.

The smile on her lips froze, and she looked at Tang Xi with displeasure.

She originally thought that securing Liang Wen Yue’s private design would be as easy as taking candy from a baby; she had collaborated with Liang Wen Yue many times, and last year her annual bonus depended entirely on these wealthy ladies.

Quickly, she turned to Liang Wen Yue, "Mrs. Liang, my design is more suitable for Miss Liang. It’s a unique style globally, and pearls don’t look old-fashioned. Miss Liang is about to go to college; she’s tall and has an excellent demeanor, making her perfect for pearls."

"Tang Xi, she’s just a newcomer. I heard she’s been in the design department for less than a month, and her design... Mrs. Liang, could you be mistaken?"

Liang Wen Yue was not unaware of what Qin Mo was thinking now. She hummed lightly, "Qin Mo, do you think that because we’ve worked together for a long time, we’re friends?"

How dare she command me around like this.

Qin Mo was taken aback as she had indeed gotten a bit carried away just now.

She immediately reacted and stood up, "Mrs. Liang, what are you saying? I didn’t mean that."

Liang Wen Yue stood up and without saying anything further, walked directly toward her group of girlfriends.

Qin Mo licked her lips.

When she looked up, she saw Tang Xi heading towards the restroom and immediately followed her. As Tang Xi entered, she followed her in and closed the door.

She leaned against the door, glaring at Tang Xi, "Tang Xi, right? You really are a famous person in the Fu Corporation Design Department. Daring to snatch a client right from under my nose! Don’t you know that Mrs. Liang is my client?"

Tang Xi found this person in front of her quite amusing—failing to retain her own client and instead coming to question her?

"Qin Mo, our two design departments do not interfere with each other. If you can’t maintain your clients, you should be looking for reasons within yourself."

"I really underestimated you. Even Gao Minjia got tricked by you so badly; what’s taking one client from me? If I don’t agree, are you going to send me to prison as well? But Liang Wen Yue, do you think you even qualify to compete with me? You have no idea how long Mrs. Liang and I have been cooperating. She has bought five sets of custom jewelry from me, amounting to over twenty million in sales, and she even introduced me to many clients. I’ve seen your design works; they’re not presentable for sure, Miss Liang will not like them. It’s just that Mrs. Liang is used to luxury and suddenly wanted to try some wild greens."

Tang Xi took out a lipstick from her bag and touched up her makeup in the mirror.

She liked the beige lipstick range because Tang Xi usually preferred a natural look, needing only a bit of help from lipstick to enhance her complexion.

"Hey, I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear me? Are you deaf? I don’t know what Director Jiang sees in you, pushing your design, whether there’s some shady dealings going on behind with Director Jiang."

Tang Xi took out her phone, turned on the video recording feature, and aimed it at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo’s face changed, "What are you doing?"

"First, move aside. Since you love being in the restroom so much, stay here longer. Second, if you dare, repeat what you just said about Director Jiang again. What’s the point of meanly gossiping behind someone’s back? Can you say it openly?"

Qin Mo stared at Tang Xi.

But she was also afraid that Tang Xi might record a video and send it to Director Jiang.

She had been too quick to speak.

After all, Director Jiang is the director.

Offending Director Jiang wouldn’t bode well for her.

"What do you count for, we’ll see!" Dropping these words, Qin Mo pushed the door open and walked out, bumping into someone.

Qin Mo was about to complain displeasedly but stopped as she faced Rong Yanqiao, immediately switching to a flattering expression.

"Miss Rong, Miss Rong, it’s you! What a coincidence, I hope I didn’t bump into you just now."

Rong Yanqiao merely gave Qin Mo a fleeting glance and walked past her into the restroom.

Qin Mo snorted coldly, "Acting all high and mighty, isn’t she just relying on a sugar daddy?"

Rong Yanqiao closed the door of the women’s restroom.

She glanced at Tang Xi, and Tang Xi looked back at her.

At this moment, the restroom was occupied only by the two of them.

Yet between them, an awkwardness was spreading.

Rong Yanqiao washed her hands and broke the silence first, "I didn’t expect to see you here tonight. I just saw the jewelry you designed, I really like it; it’s different from the set I modeled."

Tang Xi replied, "This set is a regular edition; the one you modeled before was a limited release."

"I’d like to order a set of jade jewelry as a gift for a senior, I wonder if you could design it for me. I don’t need it to be unique, but I hope you can ensure the quality of the materials, and the design should be for an elderly distinguished history professor who comes from a prominent family, who likes low-key yet status-enhancing styles."

Tang Xi hadn’t expected to receive two orders tonight.

She looked at Rong Yanqiao, restraining her joy and excitement, "Is there a time limit? May I ask when you intend to give this gift?"

"I’m not in a hurry; it’s a New Year’s gift for the elder." Rong Yanqiao looked at her, thought for a moment, and continued, "Don’t be nervous, I don’t have excessive demands regarding the design. As for the price, it can increase along with the quality. There isn’t a fixed budget. You have my WeChat, so we can discuss it anytime later."

Rong Yanqiao’s words were very gentle, with a touch of telling her not to rush and take it slowly.

It seemed as if she was discussing rather than demanding from a vantage point of a VIP customer.

This tone of speaking felt very familiar to Tang Xi.

She had felt this familiarity more than once in Rong Yanqiao.

"Miss Rong, you really... remind me of someone I used to know..."

Rong Yanqiao was startled.

She subtly turned away, took out a cushion from her bag to touch up her makeup in front of the mirror, using it also to mask her emotions, "Ah, that really is a coincidence."

Tang Xi also felt that she was probably missing Ruan Youqing too much, which made her feel this way.

She smiled a little, "It’s probably me... missing her too much. Always mistaking people who look a bit like her for her. I’ll send you the preliminary design draft this week, and we can contact via WeChat then."

Having said that, Tang Xi turned to leave.

Rong Yanqiao called out to her retreating figure, "That person from your past, was she very important to you?"

"A very good friend, but we haven’t been in touch for a long time." Tang Xi thought of Ruan Youqing, remembered the phone number that couldn’t be reached, she couldn’t contact her at all, even asked Shen Duan to use a private detective to find out about Ruan Youqing, but to no avail.

"I’ve called her several times, but her phone is unreachable, she must be blaming me for leaving without saying goodbye." Thinking this, Tang Xi felt a pang of sorrow, felt she had shared too much with a stranger, and then politely smiled again and left the place.

Meanwhile, Rong Yanqiao’s hand slowly clenched the cushion compact in her hand.

She stared at her own reflection in the mirror.

Such a stranger’s face.

Tang Xi, I am indeed Youqing...

Unfortunately, I cannot acknowledge you yet, for I still have important matters to attend to.
