Chapter 496: Stealing the Design

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Meng Yu didn’t care much about the ring, especially one that Song Yi treasured. She would rather it be lost, as she didn’t want anything of Yu Wan’s in the Song Family.

However, she wouldn’t do anything without a benefit. “That ring is precious to your father. I can get it for you, but…”

Meng Xia knew exactly what she meant. “Mom, you can pick any of the jewelry Charlie gave me. I just want to make a name for myself in the company. Please help me.”

Thinking of those luxury items, Meng Yu smiled. “Alright, I’ll help you this time.”

In reality, she doubted Song Yi cared that much about Yu Wan. The ring was probably just something he kept away and never looked at.

Although the ring was in a safe, Meng Yu knew all of Song Yi’s safe codes were the date he first met Yu Wan, so she easily opened it and took the ring.

Even though Song Fan didn’t get the ring, she still made a sample of it based on the design sketch, though it didn’t have such a large, perfect pink pearl.

Kevin looked at the finished piece and nodded approvingly. “This design is beautiful. So, your talent is inherited from your grandfather.”

Looking at the ring in her hand, Song Fan felt a pang of sadness, as if she could see those gentle hands again.

Not wanting to dwell on her sadness, she changed the topic. “I want to create a series based on this design. I won’t alter the ring my grandfather designed. The ring can be a bestseller, girls will love it.”

“And these,” she continued, “are my redesigned pieces for the series. Take a look.”

Kevin looked over her designs and repeatedly praised her. “Mr. Hua’s granddaughter is indeed talented! This series will be a huge success!”

With the designs completed, the company needed to evaluate the product internally first.

Everyone in Song Fan’s department was ready.

Kevin and Li Na’s designs were already unique, and with Li Feng’s help, the combination of Eastern and Western art impressed several managers from the marketing department.

But before Song Fan could present her designs, Meng Xia suddenly stood up and bowed to everyone.

“I know I shouldn’t speak at this moment,” she said respectfully, though her face showed pride.

Li Na scoffed, and the others exchanged looks, predicting that Meng Xia was about to cause trouble again.

“If you know you shouldn’t speak, then why are you talking?” Li Na muttered, loud enough for everyone to hear.

Meng Xia ignored the remark, confident that her “design” would soon impress everyone.

“As the deputy manager, I want to contribute to the company,” she said, taking out an opulent ring box from her pocket, custom-made at great expense.

As she opened the box, Song Fan and Song Yi’s expressions changed. The pink pearl ring lay inside.

Seeing Song Fan’s reaction, Meng Xia felt triumphant. “I worked several nights to create this ring. It was a lot of effort, but the result is worth it.”

When she took out the ring, the marketing managers’ eyes lit up.

Everyone knew the value of high-end jewelry, especially a large pink pearl ring with such intricate design. They thought this could be the highlight of the season’s new products.

“How does she have that ring?” Li Na exclaimed, looking at Song Fan.

Song Fan glanced coldly at Song Yi, who also seemed surprised. It was clear he didn’t expect to see the ring in this meeting.

Meng Xia continued to boast, even claiming the ring’s inspiration came from her first love, making Song Fan scoff internally.

Yu Wan’s ring was unique not just because Yu Hua had designed it, but also because of the special significance of the pearl.

“I’m just presenting my humble efforts,” Meng Xia said smugly. “I’m sure President Song has even more extraordinary designs?”

Her gaze at Song Fan was provocative, as if she already saw herself as the winner.

Song Fan didn’t hesitate. She took out several pieces of jewelry from her briefcase, placing a ring in the center that looked almost identical to Meng Xia’s, except for the pearl’s color.

Everyone exchanged glances but remained silent.

Suddenly, a manager asked, “President Song, did you steal the deputy manager’s design?”
