Ivy and Li Xiaoliu were in a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, where she had just signed a collaboration contract with the top fashion designer, Li Xiaoliu. 0
 
Li Xiaoliu, a legend in women's fashion, held a prominent place in the industry with her unique style and sharp designs. Her works had been showcased at Ouba Fashion Week, garnering significant attention. Ivy, a strong woman in her field, found that collaborating with Li Xiaoliu elevated her career to new heights. 0
 
After concluding their meeting, Ivy and Li Xiaoliu prepared to leave when they were stopped by Su Liyan around the corner. 0
 
“Li Xiaoliu!” Su Liyan called out. 0
 
“Who are you?” Li Xiaoliu asked, puzzled. 0
 
“I’m Su Liyan. I want to talk to you about a custom gown,” Su Liyan said eagerly. 0
 
“A custom gown?” Li Xiaoliu frowned. 0
 
“Yes, I need you to design a special dress for an important occasion next month,” Su Liyan replied with anticipation. 0
 
“Sorry, I’m very busy,” Li Xiaoliu declined. 0
 
“I’m willing to pay more,” Su Liyan insisted urgently. 0
 
“It’s not about the money; my design philosophy is based on inspiration, not finances,” Li Xiaoliu said coldly. 0
 
“I understand, but I really need your help with this design,” Su Liyan pleaded. 0
 
“Sorry,” Li Xiaoliu repeated firmly. 0
 
“Li Xiaoliu, I’m begging you,” Su Liyan implored. 0
 
“Sorry, I have other matters to attend to. I have to go now,” Li Xiaoliu said before walking away. 0
 
“Li Xiaoliu…” Su Liyan shouted after her, but Li Xiaoliu was already far off. 0
 
“Sister Liyan, how could she be like this?” Huang Lu expressed her frustration on behalf of Su Liyan. 0
 
“Exactly,” Su Liyan replied angrily. 0
 
“Sister Liyan, she’s so arrogant,” Huang Lu added indignantly. 0
 
“Hmph, what’s so great about her?” Su Liyan scoffed. 0
 
“Right,” Huang Lu agreed. 0
 
“Let’s go back,” Su Liyan said decisively. 0
 
“Okay,” Huang Lu nodded. 0
 
With that, Su Liyan and Huang Lu left the restaurant. 0
 
 
Li Xiaoliu and Ivy stopped, watching the direction in which Su Liyan and Huang Lu had left. 0
 
"She is so arrogant," Ivy commented. 0
 
"That's just who she is," Li Xiaoliu replied calmly. 0
 
"Aren't you angry?" Ivy asked curiously. 0
 
"Why should I be angry?" Li Xiaoliu countered. 0
 
"She's so full of herself," Ivy said, puzzled. 0
 
"That's because she isn't worth my anger," Li Xiaoliu stated with composure. 0
 
"That makes sense," Ivy agreed. 0
 
"Alright, let's head back," Li Xiaoliu said. 0
 
"Okay," Ivy nodded. 0
 
With that, Ivy and Li Xiaoliu left. Meanwhile, Su Liyan and Huang Lu returned home. 0
 
"Sister Liyan, that Li Xiaoliu is really too much," Huang Lu complained on Su Liyan's behalf. 0
 
"Exactly," Su Liyan said angrily. 0
 
"How dare she refuse you?" Huang Lu exclaimed indignantly. 0
 
"Hmph, who does she think she is?" Su Liyan scoffed. 0
 
"Right?" Huang Lu echoed. 0
 
"When I become a top star, let's see if she dares to refuse me," Su Liyan declared proudly. 0
 
"Definitely! By then, she'll be begging to design for you," Huang Lu flattered. 0
 
"That’s a given," Su Liyan said with pride. 0
 
"Sister Liyan, what should we do now?" Huang Lu asked. 0
 
"Let's find another designer," Su Liyan suggested. 0
 
"Alright," Huang Lu nodded. 0
 
"I'm going to rest now," Su Liyan announced. 0
 
"Okay," Huang Lu nodded again. 0
 
With that, Su Liyan went back to her room. After Su Liyan and Huang Lu left, Su Xiaoxiao also returned home. 0
 
"Ding dong ding dong..." The doorbell rang. 0
 
 
"I'm here," I replied. 0
 
"Young Lady, you’re back," Uncle Luo greeted me. 0
 
"Yes," I nodded. 0
 
"What did you gain today?" Uncle Luo asked. 0
 
"I gained a lot," I said happily. 0
 
"That's good to hear," Uncle Luo responded with relief. 0
 
"I'm going back to my room," I said. 0
 
"Alright," Uncle Luo nodded. 0
 
With that, I headed back to my room. 0
 
I opened my computer and checked my Douyin account. To my dismay, I found numerous videos criticizing me. In these videos, I was portrayed as a hideous monster. The comments section was filled with all sorts of insults. 0
 
"How can this woman be so disgusting?" 0
"Exactly, just look at her face; it’s clear she’s not a good person." 0
"I really don’t know how she has the nerve to post videos." 0
"Right? Doesn’t she fear being roasted alive?" 0
"I think she’s just trying to attract attention by doing this on purpose." 0
"She’s truly shameless." 0
"Exactly, people like her should be banned." 0
 
As I read these comments, I felt a wave of discomfort wash over me. 0
 
"Ding ding ding..." The phone rang. 0
 
"Hello," I answered the call. 0
 
"Su Xiaoxiao, where are you?" Huang Yuan's voice came through, laced with accusation. 0
 
"What does it matter where I am?" I replied coldly. 0
 
"How dare you speak to me like that!" Huang Yuan exclaimed angrily. 0
 
"Why shouldn’t I speak to you like this?" I retorted. 0
 
"You..." Huang Yuan was left speechless. 0
 
 
"Is there something you need?" I replied coldly. 0
 
"Why didn't you come to the office?" Huang Yuan questioned. 0
 
"I took a leave," I stated calmly. 0
 
"Who gave you permission to take a leave?" Huang Yuan snapped angrily. 0
 
"Do I need your permission?" I retorted sarcastically. 0
 
"You..." Huang Yuan was left speechless with rage. 0
 
"Is there anything else?" I asked coldly. 0
 
"You better come back to work tomorrow," Huang Yuan ordered. 0
 
"Why should I go back?" I countered. 0
 
"Don't you want to keep your job?" Huang Yuan threatened. 0
 
"What do you think?" I said with a hint of amusement. 0
 
"You..." Huang Yuan was so furious he couldn't find words. 0
 
"Is there anything else?" I asked, trying to keep my patience. 0
 
"If you don't come back tomorrow, I'll dock your pay!" Huang Yuan growled menacingly. 0
 
"Whatever," I replied indifferently. 0
 
"You..." Huang Yuan's face turned ashen with anger. 0
 
"I'm hanging up if there's nothing else," I said. 0
 
"You..." Huang Yuan was left gasping in frustration. 0
 
I hung up the phone abruptly. 0
 
With a loud bang, I threw my phone onto the table. 0
 
I rubbed my temples, feeling quite upset. 0
 
I recalled how Su Xiaoxiao used to be bullied and deceived by Su Liyan when she was at the company. 0
 
Su Liyan always made Su Xiaoxiao do menial tasks, constantly berating her, and sometimes even hitting her. 0
 
As Su Liyan's manager, Huang Yuan turned a blind eye to her behavior. 0
 
Even when Su Xiaoxiao complained to him, he would ignore it and scold her instead. 0
 
Thus, Su Xiaoxiao had a miserable time at the company. 0
 
The original owner’s death was also due to Su Liyan and Huang Yuan. 0
 
Su Liyan had forced Su Xiaoxiao to attend a banquet on her behalf, and in the end, Su Xiaoxiao was harmed there. 0
 
 
Su Liyan and Huang Yuan pretended to know nothing, neither pursuing the murderer nor reporting to the police, allowing Su Xiaoxiao to die just like that. 0
 
Thinking of this, a fire of anger burned fiercely in my heart. I absolutely could not continue living like this! I had to resist! I wanted them to pay the price! 0
 
So, I called Bo Jingtian. 0
 
"Hello, Jing Tian," I said softly. 0
 
"What's wrong?" Bo Jingtian asked with concern. 0
 
"I wanted to consult you about something," I replied politely. 0
 
"What is it?" Bo Jingtian inquired curiously. 0
 
"I'll tell you later," I said mysteriously. 0
 
"Alright," Bo Jingtian responded helplessly. 0
 
"Thank you," I expressed my gratitude. 0
 
"You're welcome," Bo Jingtian said gently. 0
 
"Then I'll hang up for now," I stated. 0
 
"Okay," Bo Jingtian replied. 0
 
With that, I hung up the phone. 0
 
I opened my computer and searched for Meiyu Cultural Media Co., Ltd. Yu Cultural Media Co., Ltd. was a popular company that branched out from the the Su Family. It was currently managed by Su Liyan. Although it was on a downward trend, it was still considered a decent influencer company. Su Xiaoxiao had previously worked there. 0
 
I had my eyes set on this company and planned to take it over. So, I called Bo Jingtian again. 0
