Chapter Twenty-Five: Successful Plan (1/2)

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: You’re the credit stealer, your entire family consists of credit stealers.

[You’ve deleted one message.]

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Originality guaranteed.

[Grey-white SS]: Who are you exactly? Talking all this nonsense with such standards? Are you mad?

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: I’m not taking blame for that, hell no. I’ve made myself clear right from the start that I’m a designer. You’re the one who kept questioning my identity right from the start.

[Grey-white SS]: I’ll give you five minutes to explain yourself.

The reply was like a division that ended the previous topic. From that point onwards, it was finally a conversation between CEO Yan and the mystery designer, not a wealthy young master and a persistent loser quarreling like kindergartners.

Xiao Yu took a deep breathe then typed out his speech that he had prepared long ago.

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: I’m a freelance designer. Due to some personal reasons, it’s not convenient for me to sign a contract with your company. I hope you’ll give me some leeway for that. Huihui was my pet, and I searched for him for quite some time after he went missing. Coming across your account was purely accidental. I have an acquaintance who was in SI, and it was through his contact that I’ve come to know that Chairman Yan had such a side account.

[Grey-white SS]: Lin Zhou?

That story was a hundred percent made up by Xiao Yu. Except for that one truth that Yan Jin pointed out.

Xiao Yu ridiculed in his heart – of course it was Lin Zhou, who else would it be? Yet, he still had to act as if he was really surprised. Thankfully, he was not having this conversation face-to-face with Yan Jin as he only needed to express himself through text.

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Chairman Yan knows about it?

[Grey-white SS]: Don’t tell me you’ve come to find me because Lin Zhou suggested to do so?

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: No no, it’s my own idea to look for Chairman Yan for assistance. Lin Zhou isn’t aware of this.

[Grey-white SS]: Hah.

For some unknown reason, Xiao Yu could understand the meaning behind that reply. Perhaps it was the hatred that the two people behind the screen had for Lin Zhou that made them stand on the same side in that very moment.

Never would they have thought that such a despicable person would be so miraculously useful –

The two of them sighed together.

[Grey-white SS]: You’re really prepared to seek shelter at YL?

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Naturally. I hope Chairman Yan will grant me me this opportunity.

[Grey-white SS]: You’re not even signing the contract; how should I believe in your sincerity?

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: That was the reason why I had to personally get in touch with you, Chairman. I really have some difficulties that I can’t reveal. If I could reveal myself, I would have gone to your human resource department long ago. There’s no need to beat around the bush to find you.

Yan Jin did not doubt that explanation. Most of the rules set by people were redundant in front of such capable talents. They would instead take the form of an obstacle. It was just that Yan Jin thought that this person who would not be satisfied with small gains, but when he saw that drawing, he realized that things weren’t as simple as he thought.

When it came to evaluating drawings, Yan Jin probably wasn’t as professional as his designers. But this time round, the struggle between YL and SI was not on a design competition – it was a fight over the same order. Instead of those artistic exhibitions, SI and YL could only select five drawings and present it to the client’s evaluation team for assessment. That requirement had put the designers to the test if they had understood their client’s request and experience, combining it with their own experience and expertise. From there on, they would have to create the ideal work of art.

The client’s request was very clear – all ten drawings would be proposal rings. Along with the client’s introduction of that era’s uniqueness, the last ten drawings would be very similar as a whole. But as for whose drawing would fulfill the client’s wants, that would be up to the individuals to vie for.

Yan Jin had seen Lin Zhou’s drawing. He did think that Lin Zhou’s piece was indeed the most perfect one, which was why he had thrown such a big temper tantrum at his subordinates.

Yet, this drawing before him was like lightning that streaked across the horizon, instantly lighting up Yan Jin’s eyes.

This is it. This was what the client wanted.

Yan Jin had such a feeling. He might not have the professional insight, but his instincts were very accurate.

He quickly called over his design director to look at the drawing. Other than similarly praising the designer to the high heavens, his director even gave an evaluation for Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both – the designer for this drawing had to be a professional designer. Not only was he very experienced, he had the ability to bring forth new ideas. If this person wasn’t employed yet, then they had to grab this opportunity to pull him into YL.

In fact, there was no need for his director to specifically mention that, because Yan Jin also had thoughts on getting that person to come over as well. However, not being able to meet that person face-to-face really made him uneasy.

[Grey-white SS]: Why exactly caused you to be unwilling to reveal yourself? Could you be a fugitive?

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: No no, I’m just…

Xiao Yu’s mind was stuck momentarily. In fact, he had not thought of an excuse as to why he could not reveal himself. Now that Yan Jin was demanding an explanation, he was even more unsure of how to answer him.

Time passed by gradually as Xiao Yu’s little head started to form imaginary sweat. He did not dare hesitate for too long, fearing that Yan Jin would suddenly regret everything and not collaborate with him.

In that split second, something that he had once heard before as a joke suddenly appeared in Xiao Yu’s mind. In this moment, Xiao Yu was set on trying anything out in a desperate situation.

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Actually, my real identity is the third generation of a wealthy family. After I abandoned my family, they froze all my bank cards, and if I can’t survive on my own –

[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Then they’ll be grabbing me back to inherit all the vast wealth!!

Xiao Yu covered his eyes.

No way, no way, he cannot look at it. Anyone could tell that was a joke at with one glance, squeakkk!

SQUEAK!!!
