Chapter 51: Forcing the B*stard into a Corner

When Yan Sini wanted to work with Sky Palace, the company showed its utmost sincerity. Not only did President Tang come personally, but the chief designers of the seven teams also arrived to await orders.

Because Luo Lisha was the meritorious person who had made a name for Sky Palace this time, she was arranged to sit at the head of the conference table. She even brought Liang Shuyin along and sat the latter beside her.

Liang Shuyin’s mental fortitude was truly admirable.

Even though she knew that she had stolen Song Xiaocao’s achievements, she was amazingly self-confident as she sat at the same conference table with Yan Sini.

She knew that Song Xiaocao must have gotten in touch with Yan Sini through other people, too, so Yan Sini might not know about Song Xiaocao. If there was a direct point of contact between them, then Song Xiaocao should have stood out and exposed her the moment she stole Song Xiaocao’s credit.

Given Song Xiaocao’s stubbornness, there must be a great deal of issues if she could restrain herself.

In that case, what did Liang Shuyin have to worry about?

She was the best at acting. Wouldn’t it be easy to simply fool Yan Sini?

At the start of the meeting, President Tang first gave a long and lengthy introduction of the advantages and selling points of the Sky Palace brand to prove that, if Yan Sini collaborated with Sky Palace, it would be a strong alliance.

However, Yan Sini remained silent.

After President Tang finished his monologue, he finally looked at Yan Sini and her people somewhat awkwardly. “Miss Yan, what do you and your economic team think about what I just said?”

Eventually, Yan Sini slowly uttered, “Actually, my favorable impression of Sky Palace comes entirely from this product Exquisite Eye, so as long as I can collaborate with the designer of this work, I’m very easy to talk to.”

Only then did President Tang heave a sigh of relief. There was a hint of a smile on his face as he introduced Luo Lisha. “Lisha is the fresh blood of our Sky Palace. She’s the best at integrating Chinese and Western elements in jewelry design, and the Exquisite Eye this time is her work. It’s not a problem at all for her to create a series of products curated for you.”

Luo Lisha stood up and shook hands with Yan Sini in a very stylish manner. However, she didn’t take all the credit for herself. Instead, she went on to introduce Liang Shuyin who was sitting beside her. “Miss Yan, actually, my design can only be considered as the prototype of Exquisite Eye. The one who really modified it to fit your requirements is Shuyin. She is a junior with great potential.”

When Liang Shuyin’s name was mentioned, the joy and smugness in her eyes almost overflowed, but she still put on a ‘gentle’ and ‘modest’ look on her face. “It’s all because Sister Lisha guided me well all this time. Without Sister Lisha’s fine design as a cornerstone, it’s impossible for me to change it.”

On the other hand, Yan Sini’s group of people bore an indifferent attitude and did not look all that happy.

Instead, Yan Sini crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Liang Shuyin with a trace of harshness. “Miss Liang, I actually have some understanding of the skills for filigree craft. The process is complicated, and there aren’t many craftsmen who can handle filigree work anymore. To be able to make such a big change in the specimen in such a short period, the person must be an exceptional craftsman. I really want to get to know such a person. Why don’t you introduce me to him?”

Liang Shuyin was stunned for a moment, but she quickly composed herself. She still had a smile on her face. “Actually, the craftsmen working with our company are all very skilled. It’s not that difficult to get them to change a piece of jewelry as you think.”

“If that’s the case, then that’s great. A friend of mine has also taken a liking to Exquisite Eye. Her birthday is in three days, but the waiting list for your store is all filled until next year. I heard that you still have a specimen here. As long as your people can create an Exquisite Eye—identical to the one in my press conference—for me in two days, I will sign the contract immediately.”

Liang Shuyin was stunned. The way Yan Sini was sizing her up with that gaze made her feel as though thorns were on her back and sweat was in her palms.

Seeing Liang Shuyin keep silent, Luo Lisha turned around and looked at her. “Shuyin, what’s so difficult about this? You only spent a few days modifying the specimen for the press conference too, right?”

Liang Shuyin was still making up lies in her head. “I-I heard that that particular craftsman in the workshop is sick. He’s been on leave for the past few days.”

Yan Sini narrowed her eyes and smiled, a little wickedly. “I see. I’m a person who respects craftsmen the most. Which hospital is he staying in? I’ll bring some gifts to visit him.”

Yan Sini finally understood why Song Wei had arranged things this way. It turned out that forcing a b*stard into a corner step by step felt so good!
