The next moment, the man's disappointment vanished, replaced by a confident smile.

"It's alright. Now that I've joined headquarters, we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet."

Nan Shu frowned upon hearing the man's words.

But the man seemed oblivious to Nan Shu's resistance and continued.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Song Mingkai. I will be in charge of the company's operations, marketing, and design departments from now on."

Song Mingkai reached out his hand to Nan Shu.

Nan Shu leaned to the side, her brows furrowed as she looked at Song Mingkai.

"I'm sorry, but it seems there's no need for us to get to know each other."

Nan Shu really didn't want to stay here a moment longer. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she rushed out.

As Song Mingkai watched Nan Shu flee in the elevator, a slight smile played on his lips, his eyes filled with a predatory glint.

"That legendary Nan Shu? Interesting."

Nan Shu had only taken a few steps when she bumped into an old acquaintance.

Manager Song greeted Nan Shu with great enthusiasm.

"Miss Nan, what brings you to the company today?"

"President Qi sent me."

Nan Shu felt extremely uncomfortable at the thought that the person in front of her was someone else's planted in the company, so she tried her best to look the same as before.

Fortunately, Manager An did not seem to notice Nan Shu's unusual behavior. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Nan Shu, he left in a hurry.

Just as Manager An left, Nan Shu saw Qi Yuye's assistant, who had been sent to pick her up, hurrying towards her.

Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that the assistant this time was different from the one last time.

The assistant did not take Nan Shu directly to the conference room, but instead took her to the lounge.

"President Qi had some business to attend to, so the meeting was postponed by an hour. He instructed me to bring you here to rest for a while."

Nan Shu was happy to be at ease and nodded.

"I can manage on my own here. Just come find me when the meeting is about to start."

Only after Nan Shu confirmed the information several times did the assistant leave.

Nan Shu took out her laptop, opened a design draft she had casually drawn earlier, and began to revise it with great focus.

As a designer, inspiration is always available, and Nan Shu quickly entered a state of complete absorption, shutting out the noise outside.

After reporting to Qi Yuye, Song Mingkai declined his assistant's suggestion to show him around the company and familiarize him with it, and instead wandered around the company on his own.

His gaze wandered aimlessly, and not long after leaving Qi Yuye's office, he saw a familiar figure.

A figure was reflected in the glass window of the lounge. The figure was staring intently at something, completely unaware of Song Mingkai's approach.

Looking at Nan Shu's profile, Song Mingkai's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible look of amazement.

I didn't notice her earlier, but I didn't expect Nan Shu to be so beautiful.

Song Mingkai stroked his chin, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the lounge.

Nan Shu was concentrating on revising her manuscript when a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

She assumed it was Qi Yuye's assistant, so she spoke without looking up.

"Come in."

The door to the lounge opened slowly, and Song Mingkai leaned against the doorway, looking at Nan Shu with a smile on his lips.

Nan Shu noticed that the person standing at the door hadn't moved for a while, and she immediately felt a little strange.

She immediately looked up towards the door, and upon seeing that the person standing there was Song Mingkai, she became immediately alert.

What are you doing here?

Seeing Nan Shu's wary expression, Song Mingkai raised an eyebrow.

"Why can't I be here? I just finished reporting to President Qi, and he told me to take a walk around the company and familiarize myself with it."

"I saw you as soon as I came out, and I thought I'd come and say hello, but you don't seem too happy to see me."

Nan Shu looked away and closed the laptop in her hand.

"No, you're overthinking it. This is just the first time we've met."

After saying this, Nan Shu stood up and prepared to leave.

However, Song Mingkai stood blocking the doorway, showing no intention of moving aside.

"Your design sketches were truly impressive! Are you from the company's design department?"

Song Mingkai's gaze swept across Nan Shu's face.

Nan Shu was somewhat surprised to hear Song Mingkai's words.

She was surprised that Song Mingkai didn't recognize her.

Nan Shu shook her head. "I don't count."

"You don't count? Let me guess, you wouldn't happen to be the designer in charge of the main product this time, would you?"

Song Mingkai looked at Nan Shu with a surprised and incredulous expression.

This is the normal reaction a person should have. Looking at Song Mingkai like this, Nan Shu finally relaxed her vigilance a little.

Perhaps this person is truly capable, which is why they were parachuted into headquarters.

Having thought of this, Nan Shu didn't keep him in suspense and nodded.

"Yes, that's me. But I have to go to a meeting soon, could you please let me pass?"

Song Mingkai did not stop Nan Shu and tactfully made way for her.

Just as Nan Shu brushed past him, Song Mingkai suddenly spoke.

"Your design was great, but it would look even better if you changed the eight pink diamonds to five."

Upon hearing Song Mingkai's words, Nan Shu stopped in her tracks.

Those were details she was preparing to revise, but hadn't had time to change yet.

Unexpectedly, Song Mingkai saw the problem at a glance, and his thoughts coincided with hers.

At this moment, Nan Shu's resentment towards Song Mingkai had completely disappeared.

Regardless of what kind of person Song Mingkai is, at least in terms of design, his ability is indeed quite good.

"I wonder if Mr. Song has any further insights?"

Song Mingkai smiled slightly, "I wouldn't call it a brilliant insight, just some of my humble opinions. Miss Nan, please don't take it to heart. After all, you are the rising star in the design world who was publicly recognized and praised by Chris."

Song Mingkai's unusual attitude, both before and after, left Nan Shu completely unsure of his intentions.

Just as Nan Shu was about to continue speaking, Qi Yuye's assistant rushed over.

"Ms. Nan, the meeting is about to begin. Please come with me!"

Nan Shu nodded upon hearing this.

Before leaving, she glanced at Song Mingkai.

Song Mingkai's gaze was deep, and his face wore an inscrutable smile.

The feeling of uncertainty that had been lingering in Nan Shu's heart resurfaced.

With these questions in mind, she was even a little distracted when she followed her assistant into the conference room.

"Miss Nan?"

The assistant spoke cautiously.

Nan Shu then came to her senses and realized that she had entered the conference room without even realizing it.

All eyes in the conference room were on her.

Unlike before, this time most people's eyes were filled with admiration.

Nan Shu's gaze swept around the conference room and she noticed that only one seat was left next to Qi Yuye, which was obviously reserved for her.

Despite not wanting to be gossiped about, Nan Shu had no choice but to sit down since there were no other seats available.
