"Aren't you Miss Li? A million is just a few months' pocket money to you. Besides, I've become like this for you. If you don't help me, I'll have to tell your sister that this was all your idea."
*You little bitch!* Li Mengyao cursed inwardly. "I can only give you 300,000. The Li family isn't doing well either. If you want more, you might as well go tell that woman the truth directly!"
The nurse muttered, "So stingy!"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. Thirty thousand it is. After all, we were classmates once. I don't want to make things too unpleasant."
"Give me your bank card."
Li Mengyao transferred 300,000 to the other party. She had no money left.
A sense of panic washed over her. *No, I have to find a way.*
Looking at the unopened luxury goods in the cabinet, it seemed she had no choice but to sell them!
...
Shenglong Plaza.
Wen Yan was shopping here with Luo Ziyu.
They were looking at light luxury fashion.
On the way, they passed a milk tea shop. Luo Ziyu wanted to buy milk tea and insisted on buying one for Wen Yan too. Wen Yan could only accept it.
"Thank you. I'll transfer the money back to you later!" Wen Yan disliked owing others favors.
"Oh, don't be so polite. We're colleagues. I can afford a cup of milk tea," Luo Ziyu said generously.
They browsed in the light luxury store for a while longer. Wen Yan looked very attentively, but Luo Ziyu's mind was elsewhere.
"Yan Yan, let's go to XNN across the street!"
Wen Yan nodded and followed her in.
The XNN boutique was extremely luxuriously decorated.
The clothes here were priced starting from five figures, affordable only for the truly wealthy.
However, Wen Yan felt some of the styles were outdated. XNN hadn't released any particularly stunning designs in recent years.
Luo Ziyu, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic.
"Wow, these clothes are all so beautiful," Luo Ziyu glanced at Wen Yan, a flicker of something in her eyes, then put on a dress and showed it to Wen Yan. "Yan Yan, what do you think?"
"I think it's alright."
"Right? I think so too, it's just too expensive," Luo Ziyu sighed regretfully. "I really like it. If only I were as rich as you, I could buy everything I like."
She had known some rich young ladies before.
They had no concept of money and would casually give away designer clothes and handbags if coaxed a little.
Wen Yan felt a bit awkward. "Actually, I'm not that rich either."
"Oh, don't be modest. Your 'Eternal Heart' could buy a whole neighborhood," Luo Ziyu laughed heartily.
Wen Yan was a little helpless. Just as she was about to explain, Luo Ziyu looked at the dress again with regret. "I really like it. How many of these dresses are left?"
She looked at the sales assistant.
The sales assistant said, "Miss, there's only one left. If you like it, you should take it."
"Ah, the last one?" Luo Ziyu looked at Wen Yan anxiously.
Wen Yan didn't understand.
If one's financial situation didn't allow it, why overspend?
"Yan Yan, I really like it so much. I feel like I'll dream about this dress tonight," Luo Ziyu seemed to gather her courage and said, "Why don't you pay for it first, and I'll transfer the money to you when I get my salary this month?"
Wen Yan checked the price: 12,000.
"I don't have that much money right now either." The money from the hospital hadn't arrived yet.
Luo Ziyu suddenly felt awkward. She hadn't expected Wen Yan to refuse.
"I'll pay you back next week. Please cover it for me first!" Luo Ziyu added.
Most people wouldn't refuse her, right?
"Sorry, I really don't have that much money."
The sales assistant's gaze towards them changed. Luo Ziyu felt humiliated. She hadn't expected Wen Yan to be so stingy. She had just bought her milk tea, and now Wen Yan wouldn't even lend her money.
"Are you worried I won't pay you back? We're colleagues, after all. How could I cheat you?" Her voice suddenly grew louder.
Wen Yan felt annoyed.
Did she not understand her?
Seeing that Wen Yan remained silent and refused to lend her money, Luo Ziyu became very displeased. She directly took off the dress and left alone.
Li Mengyao, who was watching from the entrance, found it interesting.
As Luo Ziyu walked to the corner, she was called out to. "Hello."
"Who are you?" Luo Ziyu frowned at the stranger, but her eyes immediately changed when she saw the numerous luxury clothes in the woman's hands. Her tone became enthusiastic. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I saw you shopping with my sister just now. What's your relationship with her?" Li Mengyao asked gently.
*Sister?*
Did she mean Wen Yan?
*So, Wen Yan is rich. The luxury items her sister has could add up to a million!*
*This stingy ghost, she wouldn't even spend over ten thousand on clothes for me!*
Cursing inwardly, Luo Ziyu smiled outwardly. "We're colleagues, and we're very close."
If Li Mengyao hadn't witnessed the scene just now, she would have been deceived by Luo Ziyu.
"Is that so? I saw you arguing just now. What happened? Tell me truthfully."
Li Mengyao's gaze was seductive. Luo Ziyu hesitated. "It's because I really liked that dress, but I didn't expect Wen Yan to refuse to lend me money to buy it. I often buy things for her, too. Sigh..."
"Don't be sad. My sister is just that kind of person, selfish. Don't be upset," Li Mengyao plotted inwardly, smiling. "Are there any clothes you like here? They're all brand new. Take whatever you like."
"Wow, sister, really?" Luo Ziyu was excited.
"Of course."
Luo Ziyu didn't hesitate and picked out three items.
The total value was fifty to sixty thousand.
Li Mengyao reluctantly gave them to her and said, "Please keep an eye on my sister for me. If anything happens to her, tell me immediately, especially if she gets too close to anyone at the company."
"Okay, sister," Luo Ziyu said with a grin.
Wen Yan browsed alone in the mall for a while, gathering some experience. The next day at the company, she thought Luo Ziyu would definitely ignore her. To her surprise, Luo Ziyu approached her again, apologizing for being too emotional yesterday.
Wen Yan didn't say anything, but a rift had formed in her heart.
She immediately noticed her clothes. "Your clothes?"
"Heh heh, a friend gave them to me. They're the latest from FSZ," Luo Ziyu said proudly.
Her words also subtly mocked Wen Yan's stinginess for not buying her clothes.
Wen Yan pursed her lips. She seemed to have seen Li Mengyao wear these clothes? Perhaps they were the same style.
She didn't pay much attention and continued thinking about her design sketches.
The next few days passed peacefully. On Friday, the deputy director assigned them their first practice task.
"You've been in the company for some time now, and your performance has been good with solid skills. Now, I'm going to give you your first practical assignment. Here is the client's identity and name. I require you to design clothes that suit this person, knowing only this information. You have three days."
After the deputy director finished, he let them leave.
Wen Yan looked at the client information.
[Yang Fei, Public Relations Manager of a large enterprise.]
"This is so difficult. How can we figure out what kind of clothes she likes?" Luo Ziyu couldn't help but complain.
Wen Yan said, "Let's do some research first."
She searched online and surprisingly found this person.
Luo Ziyu was surprised but mocked, "So what if she really exists? Can we even get close to her? We can't possibly arrange a meeting with someone like that as interns."
