Married The Crybaby Childhood Crush First, Then Fell in Love - Chapter 43 .2
Lan Xiaoxiao had an expression that said, ‘You’ve been gaslit, but I won’t say anything.’
If the money was right, she wouldn’t care what she did.
To hesitate even for a second would be disrespectful to money.
Lan Xiaoxiao asked cautiously, “If Wanqing doesn’t get first place, would a fierce and scary boss like Yan Qiu mind?”
The secretary joked with her last time that the company wouldn’t throw people into the Huangpu River.
The reason was that it would pollute the river.
Does that sound like a reasonable thing to say?
Lin Wanqing stood at the entrance of the competition venue, sighing as she pulled her collar higher to cover the hickeys, and rubbed her sore waist again.
Lin Wanqing looked at her slowly. “President Yan will make me apologize with death.”
The little rabbit rubbed her reddened eyes, her pupils full of despair for this polluted world.
Lan Xiaoxiao’s pupils contracted. “That scary? She really isn’t a good person!”
Lin Wanqing said, “Yes, she is: she’ll make me die in bed.”
Yan Qiu: “Go and say hello to the judges. Tell them to judge fairly and not to let a result I don’t want to see happen.”
Yu Fei placed the documents on the boss’s desk.
She whispered, “The Wang family also suddenly sponsored the competition. I heard they specially treated the judges to let their legitimate second Miss participate.”
Yan Qiu looked through the documents and tossed them in front of her. “Are the judges not senile yet?”
Yu Fei: “Those judges wouldn’t dare to gamble with their careers.”
Yan Qiu was satisfied and started looking through the emails for dirt on the Wang family.
During the competition, the internet was not idle. A public opinion battle had already begun.
The names of the Wang family and Lin Wanqing were trending on hot searches.
“Lin Wanqing is so beautiful, I just don’t believe she got first place all the way through purely on merit. It’s unfair to the people who seriously participate in the competition!”
“What kind of competition is so important that Mrs. Yan has to personally participate? Sarcasm”
“Although, Lin Wanqing has perfect GPA every semester. She’s such a stellar student, I love her so much.”
“Am I the only one who knows Lin Wanqing has many admirers at school? And someone still takes her? In our village, no one would want her even if she was free.”
“Whose pee is yellow? Come and wake up the person upstairs.”
“My mom bought expensive jewelry from the Wang family, and the pearls peeled when they touched water. Cheaters, get off the internet!”
“I used to work at the Wang family. The manager bullied me, and a male colleague forced me to drink alcohol and then took me to a room… I injured him and escaped, but I was still fired by the company.”
“The Weibo trending list is so lively today.”
Yan Qiu closed the webpage. “Go and contact someone to delete all the trending topics about Lin Wanqing.”
Yan Qiu massaged her temples. She knew Lin Wanqing shone brightly, but she didn’t want everyone to covet her treasure.
Last night, the usually gentle Lin Wanqing had pinned her against the bathtub.
Closing her eyes, she could recall the feeling of losing control last night.
Her little rabbit wouldn’t just let herself be bullied; she would seek retribution on her.
But her technique was too poor.
It still hurts now.
Tsk, she needs to supervise her practice well.
Yu Fei saw a realm in her boss’s eyes that she, as an employee, should not venture into. “I’ll go handle it right now.”
Yan Qiu waved her hand to dismiss Yu Fei.
Last night, Lin Wanqing bit her neck, whining and rubbing against her. “Sister Qiuqiu, you can’t take it anymore? Your lip is bleeding from biting it. It breaks my heart.”
Yan Qiu was irritated, restless, and unable to focus on work.
She came out of the office and asked the driver to take her to Y University. Passing the group’s cafe, she bought a latte with the latest little rabbit art on top.
The loyal driver was very concerned about the boss’s health. “Your wrist is broken. I’ll call a private doctor to take a look.”
Yan Qiu covered her wrist and held the coffee steady. “I’m fine.”
Driver: “Did you get this injury from falling? Did you hurt your leg?”
Yan Qiu suppressed her annoyance. “I didn’t fall. I’m fine.”
Driver: “Don’t avoid medical treatment. What will the group do without you? Look, your neck is also broken from the fall.”
Yan Qiu: “I advise you to find a partner, focus on driving and watching the road, and stop talking.”
Driver: ?
Lin Wanqing was at the competition venue, and Wang Xiaoshai was looking at her suspiciously.
Lin Wanqing sensed the gaze and raised her head to look over. Wang Xiaoshai immediately turned her head away.
Are you a child?
In the competition surrounded by spectators, Lin Wanqing looked away and searched for the necessary materials in the cabinet.
“She is indeed a top student from Y University. She decided on her competition topic so quickly.”
“What’s the use of that? She’ll still lose to our Wang Xiaoshai in the end.”
“Exactly. Just by looking at her, you can tell she’s playing tricks behind the scenes, probably bribing the judges.”
“I heard Huiyan Group is the biggest sponsor. It must be easy for them to pull some strings.”
“Hey, speaking of which, have you heard the rumors about the Wang family online?”
Lin Wanqing heard the whispers from the people on the stage, and her palms started to sweat. She couldn’t find the white silk fabric she needed.
She had submitted the required materials early, and the logistics department should have prepared everything.
Without the white silk, the entire design would have to be redone.
She wished she really did have an unfair advantage!
Lin Wanqing resentfully took fabric of a different color to replace the original design, so angry that she was almost in tears.
If she didn’t get first place, Yan Qiu would surely bully her.
The little rabbit rubbed her face with her paws, then heard a scoff from Wang Xiaoshai beside her.
Wang Xiaoshai: “I thought you were so impressive. You only cry when you run into trouble. You’re really an embarrassment to Huiyan.”
Lin Wanqing looked up at her. The legitimate second Miss of the Wang family mocked her coldly, “What are you looking at? Be careful, I’ll tell the judges you plagiarized me.”
Lin Wanqing looked away. “The Wang family? It’s getting cold recently. It’s time for the Wang family to go bankrupt.”
Wang Xiaoshai: “!”
How dare you talk like that!
This single sentence stunned even the judges.
What kind of talk is that? Choosing to curse one’s opponent instead of competing seriously or playing dirty?
The stern judges flipped through the documents but couldn’t find any grounds for deduction.
They couldn’t possibly write on the score sheet: Cursed the opponent’s family to go bankrupt once.
Lin Wanqing cut the fabric in her hands, her red eyes showing no emotion.
“The Wang family? I know. That perfume you recently released? You couldn’t even plagiarize it well. Instead of gossiping in front of me, you should spend some money on public relations.”
Lin Wanqing put down the heavy tailor’s scissors, her red eyes not showing a hint of emotion.
“Be careful, the boss of Su Po might sue you.”
Wang Xiaoshai was so angry that she scoffed, her face alternating between green and white, unable to act out at the competition venue.
Lin Wanqing rubbed her nose. She might cry easily, but she wasn’t a pushover who would let anyone bully her.
Mayvis stood up from the judges’ panel, smiling, and walked toward Lin Wanqing. She seemed to be strolling through the venue.
Lin Wanqing saw the senior she had admired for a long time approaching. “Are you… having back pain too?”
She was staggering around, much like an old man on a walk.
Mayvis chuckled twice. “My dear designer, I’m different. My back pain is from sitting too long.”
Mayvis: “Unlike you, dear designer, whose back pain is from ‘doing’ too long.”
Your Chinese is very good. A pun deserves a pay cut.
Mayvis snapped her fingers. “Staff, please come over and re-check and inventory the materials backstage. Some fabric and parts are missing here.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a staff member immediately walked onto the stage with a form to check the inventory.
Wang Xiaoshai’s face suddenly contorted.
It took her a long time to get someone to tamper with Lin Wanqing’s materials.
Wang Xiaoshai’s face darkened, and she looked at Lin Wanqing as if she wanted to swallow her whole.
Meivis patted her shoulder hard. “Good luck, dear designer! If you don’t achieve a good result…”
Lin Wanqing shivered. She nearly stumbled when Mayvis patted her shoulder.
“If you don’t achieve a good result, you’ll have to intern at my studio.”
Everyone around instantly turned red with envy upon hearing this.
Why would someone who didn’t get a good result be allowed to intern at Mayvis’s studio?
Lin Wanqing’s small face fell, instantly turning into a dog without ideals.
Mayvis completed Yan Qiu’s instruction and wobbled back to the judges’ panel to sit down, watching as the designer continued to pattern and cut with the replenished materials.
Yan Qiu’s wheelchair rolled into the auditorium. Looking at Lin Wanqing, who was focused on her work from afar, she seemed to be glowing.
A woman at work is the most charming.
Yan Qiu softened her smile. “The competition is about to end.”
Yu Fei: “It is. After such a long competition, I wonder how Miss Lin’s frail body will be able to endure?”
Oh dear, should she have said that?
Yu Fei quickly covered her mouth, looking at her boss with a maternal smile.
Yan Qiu leaned back in her wheelchair. “Lin Wanqing needs to replenish her body.”
“The boss is right. Your legs also need replenishing.”
The competition ended. Yu Fei pushed her boss out of the auditorium and immediately saw Lin Wanqing waiting at the entrance.
As soon as Lin Wanqing saw the wheelchair, she quickly ran over. “I’m so glad Mayvis helped me today, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do.”
Yan Qiu gave a noncommittal ‘hmm.’
Yu Fei elbowed Lin Wanqing discreetly. “The boss has been thinking about you all day. She was originally going for acupuncture therapy for her legs today, but it was delayed because of your competition. It’s really worrying!”
Lin Wanqing was shocked. “How can that be? I have another competition tomorrow. Is Sister Qiuqiu not even going to the hospital?”
Yan Qiu took her hand and slid the body-temperature pink diamond ring onto her ring finger.
She gently kissed the ring with her lips.
“Having you is enough. The doctor said no excessive sexual activity, but harvesting Yin to supplement Yang is the proper way of Chinese medical therapy. I don’t think the doctor would object.”
“…Harvesting Yin to supplement Yang?”
It was the first time Lin Wanqing realized this phrase could be used this way.
She hesitated for a long time and said, ” Mayvis made an appointment to talk to me about the competition tonight. Should I go first?”
The warmth on Yan Qiu’s face suddenly vanished completely. “You are not allowed to go!”
Lin Wanqing: !
Yan Qiu squinted, pulled her close, and threatened her fiercely. “She’s a judge. If you go to her, I will report you… for cheating in the competition.”
She grabbed the little rabbit’s ear and tossed her into the car, preparing for “harvesting Yin to supplement Yang.”
