Chapter 757: Chapter 757

Grandpa had just left when Wang Zixuan said mysteriously to the woman beside her, "Xiaoxiao, today I met a boy who took me to the amusement park. It turns out that dating a boy is such a happy thing!"

Tian Xiaoxiao sighed, "Zixuan, I know what you're thinking. Grandpa said that once this matter is over, you can live the life of an ordinary girl. Just hold on a little longer!"

"Xiaoxiao, what exactly did Grandpa mean by that, and why did he say I am the hope of the family?" Wang Zixuan asked, puzzled.

"I'm not very clear about that either, but you know Grandpa's temperament. The bodyguards who went out with you this time were severely punished. Listen to your sister, you better behave yourself these days," Tian Xiaoxiao said.

Wang Zixuan nodded, "I know, isn't that enough?"

Despite agreeing verbally, Lin Chen's figure still lingered in Wang Zixuan's mind.

Wang Ke arrived at the company, and though it was late at night, the lights were still brightly lit inside.

This time, Wang Ke submitted two design drawings to her department, and everyone was anxiously awaiting a response from Xingchen Company.

However, as Wang Ke was the least experienced, her chances of winning the bid were also the smallest, so no one really pinned their hopes on her.

Meanwhile, her colleagues were busy sucking up to the company's star designer, Li Qiaoqiao.

"Designer Li, Wang Ke is just here to make up the numbers, the contract will definitely be yours."

"Exactly, your design is simply high-end, classy, and sophisticated; you're sure to win the bid."

Li Qiaoqiao smiled smugly and provocatively glanced at Wang Ke, "That's not certain yet. Our company is just one of the bidders. Although I'm definitely the best here, there are other companies bidding as well."

Within the company, Li Qiaoqiao was the top designer, and it was said that the winner of this bid would be promoted to vice president. Li Qiaoqiao had made it clear she would accept nothing less than victory, which led several colleagues to simply give up.

After all, Li Qiaoqiao was the strongest, and she was also very petty. If anyone competed against her and lost, and she became manager, she would definitely make life difficult for them.

But Wang Ke, motivated by who knows what, had also produced a design drawing, which irritated Li Qiaoqiao immensely.

However, Li Qiaoqiao didn't see Wang Ke as a threat at all, given that she had just graduated from college and lacked both the experience and seniority.

"Ha, some people just don't know their limits, trying to compete with Designer Li, not knowing their own capacity," scoffed one of Li Qiaoqiao's cronies.

"That's someone who won't turn back until they hit the south wall," teased the others mockingly.

Wang Ke said, blushing, "Actually, I didn't intend to compete with Designer Li, I just wanted to get some practice."

Li Qiaoqiao looked disdainfully at Wang Ke, "Do you think I would consider an apprentice like you a rival? What a joke."

At that moment, in the headquarters of Xingchen Company, Xue Ying was sitting in her office.

Then, the secretary brought over five design drawings and said, "President Xue, these are the five design drawings we have shortlisted; please make a decision."

Xue Ying put down the documents in her hands and nodded, flipping through the design drawings.

"These five were designed by the top designers at Xingchen; we've reviewed them, and though their styles differ, the quality of all is quite solid," said the secretary, Xiaoqing.

Xue Ying nodded as she looked over the five designs but still seemed dissatisfied.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on what Xiaoqing was holding, "Are those design drawings in your hand as well?"

Xiaoqing paused and replied, "Yes, this drawing is actually quite good, but since the designer is just a recent college graduate, we didn't include it in the options."

Xue Ying nodded, "Let me see it."

When Xue Ying opened the design drawing, she was suddenly stunned, feeling that the style was too perfect for her.

The structure and architectural style of the Star Building seemed tailor-made for her, for the Star Group.

"Who is the designer?" Xue Ying raised her head and asked.

"It's the work of an intern designer from Jinding Design Company," Xiao Qing replied.

Xue Ying nodded, "It's her then."

"Ah!" Upon hearing Xue Ying's words, Xiao Qing was suddenly taken aback.

At Jinding Design Company, everyone was still waiting for the results.

Just then, General Manager Wang Dahui burst in excitedly, "I've got great news, folks, our design won the bid for the Star Company."

"Fantastic!" Thunderous applause erupted in the design studio immediately.

"Congratulations, Designer Li!"

"As expected of Designer Li, you didn't let us down."

At this moment, Wang Ke also stood up, smiling as he congratulated Li Qiaoqiao, "Congratulations, Designer Li."

Li Qiaoqiao scoffed, "Don't be disheartened, keep practicing for another twenty or thirty years, and you might catch up to my level."

Everyone burst into laughter at Li Qiaoqiao's comment.

However, Wang Dahui looked embarrassed, "You all got it wrong, the winning design was Wang Ke's work."

The entire conference room fell silent, and everyone was stunned.

The previously excited Li Qiaoqiao suddenly froze, "Manager Wang, could there be a mistake? How is that possible?"

Wang Dahui replied calmly, "No mistake, we've verified it. The winning bid is indeed Wang Ke's. Congratulations, young Wang, truly young and promising. The appointment letter from the head office just came in, and starting from now, you're the vice president of the company."

Wang Ke had never dreamed that her design would actually win the bid.

Actually, she hadn't even intended to participate this time, but since she and Lin Chen had worked hard on the design together, she just tried it out without expecting much success.

All eyes in the conference room turned to Wang Ke in shock, when the person who had just said Wang Ke wouldn't stop until she hit a wall was the first to start applauding, "I knew young Wang would be fine, truly a fearless young bull!"

Others quickly caught on, surrounding and flattering Wang Ke.

Suddenly, the previously haughty Li Qiaoqiao was left out in the cold, thinking about what she had just said, her face was figuratively slapped.

Wang Ke felt like she was dreaming; she had never expected to actually win.

At that moment, Wang Ke was utterly shocked, "Lin Chen, that guy is so amazing, he's a complete outsider, yet his design proposal actually won."

Just then, Lin Chen had just gotten home. Worrying about being followed, he intentionally took a detour before arriving.

Glancing at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock. Not wanting to disturb anyone, he didn't knock but directly jumped over the wall into the yard.

Tiptoeing to the front of the small house, he had just opened the door when he saw a horrific scene unfold.
