Summer Kiss

Chapter 112 Another Order Arrives

Gu Xinghe's heart skipped a beat, and she was filled with fear. The thing she feared most had happened.

Jiang Yuning did not forgive her, and their relationship seemed unlikely to ever return to what it was before.

Gu Xinghe gripped the milk tea in both hands, trying her best to hide her nervousness. She tentatively asked, "Yu Ning, can't we even be friends anymore?"

There was no hint of a smile in Jiang Yuning's eyes; she simply gave her a cold look.

“Gu Xinghe, this is working hours. I don’t want to discuss personal matters with you here.”

Gu Xinghe suddenly froze. She understood what Jiang Yuning meant by those words. She didn't say anything, but returned to her seat dejectedly.

Chen Yihua's attention was entirely focused on the two of them. What exactly happened between Gu Xinghe and Jiang Yuning? Did their relationship seem to have broken down?
She glanced up in Jiang Yuning's direction, then looked down at the client information.

Su Hui International placed a large order, and Jiang Yuning started drawing design drafts on the computer. After drawing for a while, she found that she had no inspiration, so she simply stopped drawing.

She picked up her phone and saw a friend request on WeChat.

She opened the page, which read: "Lin Yuecheng requests to add you as a friend."

Jiang Yuning pondered who this person was when suddenly she realized something. Could Lin Yuecheng be the woman who had been intimate with Fu Xicheng that night, making her jealous?
Fu Xicheng told her that this was a client he had introduced to her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuning immediately added her as a friend.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuecheng had just arrived at the hotel when she received a WeChat notification and replied almost instantly.

Lin Yuecheng: [Hello Ms. Jiang, I was introduced by Mr. Fu. When would be a good time for you to discuss our cooperation in detail?]

Jiang Yuning: [Ms. Lin, I'm available anytime.]

Lin Yuecheng: [Then I'll come to your company to find you in a bit.]

Jiang Yuning: [Ms. Lin sent me a WeChat message when she arrived at the company building. I'll come down to meet you.]

Jiang Yuning placed her phone on the table, leaned back in her office chair, and fell into deep thought.

She hasn't even finished drawing the international artwork yet, and now she's already taking on new orders. She estimates that the next week will be very busy, busy making money and busy dating Fu Xicheng.

About an hour later, Lin Yuecheng took a taxi to Huangtian Group.

She was wearing a light blue dress and had an extraordinary air about her. She asked the receptionist for some information and then took the elevator to the design department.

She stepped out of the elevator and quickly found the design department.

Lin Yuecheng first stood at the door and glanced inside, then knocked on the door symbolically.

"Is Designer Jiang Yuning here?"

The other people in the design department looked up when they saw a dignified and elegant woman standing at the door.

No one present spoke. After considering her options, Gu Xinghe stood up.

"Yu Ning has been called to the director's office. Let me take you to the conference room to wait for her."

Lin Yuecheng nodded and followed Gu Xinghe into a conference room.

Gu Xinghe carefully made Lin Yuecheng a cup of coffee and said earnestly, "Please sit down and have a cup of coffee first. When Yu Ning comes back, I will call her over as soon as possible."

"Wait a moment."

Lin Yuecheng called out to Gu Xinghe from behind. She was curious to know what kind of person Fu Xicheng's girlfriend was. She didn't know if she was easy to get along with.

Gu Xinghe turned around, her eyes filled with confusion. Lin Yuecheng clasped her hands together and looked up at the young girl who looked like she had just graduated.

"This is my first time visiting your company. I was introduced to you by someone who recommended you to design Jiang. I heard that she has a lot of design talent."

Gu Xinghe lowered her eyelids. Heaven really favors Jiang Yuning.

She always had one order after another, and she was basically the highest earner in the design department every month.

A fleeting, enigmatic light flashed in her eyes. She looked up and unintentionally uttered these words.

"You're right, Yu Ning's design drafts are the most inspired in the design department, but she's been very busy lately, and I don't know if she'll be able to continue taking orders."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuecheng realized that Fu Xicheng wanted her to take better care of his girlfriend, but she felt that Jiang Yuning didn't seem to need her help.

She's currently busy finding someone to design new products for the next quarter. If Jiang Yuning doesn't have much time, she'll probably need to find someone else.

Lin Yuecheng casually asked, "Is Designer Jiang really that busy?"

Gu Xinghe nodded and said without exaggeration, "That's right, Yu Ning is overwhelmed with orders every month and is busy until very late almost every day."

After saying this, Gu Xinghe didn't say anything more. She couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.

"Please sit down and wait a moment. I'll go see if Yu Ning has returned yet."

When Gu Xinghe returned to her office, she found Jiang Yuning already sitting at her desk.

She walked up to her, bowed her head and said, "Yu Ning, a client came to see you. I've invited her to the conference room."

Jiang Yuning looked up, her heart filled with doubt. She could no longer be friends with Gu Xinghe, so why would she help her receive her clients?
This is utterly unbelievable.

Jiang Yuning nodded. Even though they couldn't be friends, she couldn't forget the proper etiquette.

She expressed her gratitude to Gu Xinghe, saying, "Gu Xinghe, thank you for helping me entertain the clients."

Gu Xinghe's eyes flickered a few times. Usually, Jiang Yuning would call her Xinghe, just like Meng Shuyu. Sure enough, after that incident, an insurmountable rift developed between them.

She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and smiled at her.

Jiang Yuning took her phone to the conference room. Through the glass, she saw a gentle and elegant woman sitting in the conference room.

She knocked twice on the door and then walked into the conference room.

"Hello Ms. Lin, I am Jiang Yuning."

Lin Yuecheng smiled sweetly. This was the first time she had met the girlfriend that Fu Xicheng had mentioned. She looked Jiang Yuning up and down.

She wore a plain black dress, and the all-black outfit made it hard to look away.

Lin Yuecheng is a proactive person; she didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"I came here today specifically to see Ms. Jiang, because I would like to ask Ms. Jiang to help design our company's new products for the next quarter. I plan to launch three series."

"Chinese style, fresh and elegant, and also luxurious sets. Each series requires the design of four pieces of jewelry. I wonder if Ms. Jiang can take on this order?"

Jiang Yuning seemed to be deep in thought. Besides the international orders, she also had two other clients' orders that she hadn't completed.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Can I design these three new product lines with my colleagues? There are too many styles, and I'm worried that we won't be able to finish them on time."

Lin Yuecheng thought of the humble and polite girl from earlier. She called Jiang Yuning "Yuning" and felt that Jiang Yuning probably wanted to partner with her on a design project.
