C37 A Little Fairy Who Lacks Money!

"If Young Master Zhan weren't abroad, Zhan Yeling would never have been in line to take charge of the Zhan family."

"That's debatable. Zhan Yeling is known for his ruthless and bloodthirsty methods. Wasn't the Third Young Master vying for control of the Zhan family against him? Zhan Yeling broke his legs, and now he's still bedridden in the hospital. Surely, the Zhan family wouldn't let a disabled person lead them."

Hearing this, Xiong Miao wasn't surprised.

She had witnessed Zhan Yeling's bloodthirsty tendencies herself.

Breaking someone's legs was certainly within his capabilities.

"Enough with the gossip. Let's wrap this up and head to the meeting room," Xiong Miao said, breaking up their "social gathering."

The group scattered, but some still harbored resentment toward Xiong Miao, shooting her disdainful looks before returning to their seats to continue their chatter.

"She thinks she's all that since she's caught the eye of someone wealthy. Director Zhan only sees her as a plaything."

"Yeah, I can't wait to see the day her legs get broken."

Xiong Miao was exasperated.

From her first day as manager of the Design Department, not a single employee had shown her respect.

Alone and unsupported, she found it difficult to manage.

Thankfully, due to a wager, the employees, with Chen at the forefront, had all gathered in the meeting room.

Xiong Miao displayed the design she had worked on overnight on the screen: "This design has been approved by Director Zhan. I need everyone's cooperation to produce all the final products within a week."

"In a week's time, we have the new product launch."

Chen, who had studied design, was well-versed in the field.

She was astounded by the fresh design projected before her.

It was a significant improvement over the previous one, dazzling and inspiring awe.

Chen was in disbelief!

Xiong Miao had truly managed to create such an inspired piece in just one day!

"Chen, do you have any comments?" Xiong Miao asked, noticing the astonishment on Chen's face.

Caught off guard, Chen shifted her gaze from the projector and masked her amazement, feigning indifference: "What could I possibly have to say? It's best that Director Zhan has approved it, lest all our efforts turn out to be for nothing."

"Don't worry, I've already shown it to Director Zhan. He said we can proceed with the final product," Xiong Miao assured her colleagues, who still seemed skeptical, so she invoked Zhan Yeling's approval to quell their doubts.

"Alright, then go ahead and delegate the tasks," Chen said.

With that, Xiong Miao methodically assigned the work to everyone.

After the meeting, she felt dizzy and chilled to the bone.

Apparently, dressing too lightly for last night's banquet and catching the night breeze had given her a cold.

Despite feeling under the weather, she soldiered on with her tasks.

Out of the blue, Gu Yi called her.

"Manager Xiong, please come to the headquarters."

"What's the matter?" Xiong Miao tensed up at the thought of possibly encountering Zhan Yeling at the headquarters.

"You'll find out when you get here," Gu Yi said before abruptly ending the call.

Once again, she faced an unavoidable task.

Could she really say no?

With a sigh, she conceded; after all, she needed the paycheck.

Who else but a cash-strapped fairy like her would go?

Xiong Miao shut down her computer, donned her coat, and stepped outside.

She was waiting for the bus when a silver Mercedes-Benz pulled up beside her.

The window rolled down to reveal Zhan Zifeng's charming face: "Xiong Miao, where are you headed?"

Surprised to encounter him here, Xiong Miao replied, "I'm on my way to Rich Corporation."

"That's perfect. I'm headed there myself. Hop in, I'll give you a lift," Zhan Zifeng offered, his warm smile exuding kindness.

Xiong Miao marveled at the serendipity.

It was just so fortuitous that he was passing by and also going to Rich Corporation, and could offer her a ride.

Everything fell into place just perfectly.
