Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 484

Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Regaining the Initiative

Lin Zhiyi realized immediately from Xue Man’s questioning that Bai Ruoshu was once again setting a trap for her.

The Coin Ring was indeed Bai Ruoshu’s individual design.

Because it wasn’t just her.

Even other colleagues responsible for Ji Nian Jewelry couldn’t have any opinions.

So this was truly a piece designed solely by Bai Ruoshu.

But as one of the co-designers, Lin Zhiyi bore an additional accusation of slacking off.

Zhao Xuan exaggerated, "President Xue, some people might not have caught up with Miss Bai’s ideas yet, so Miss Bai has been working overtime to finish these tasks."

Xue Man’s eyes cooled: "Zhiyi, you should know how important this collaboration is; you can’t slack off just because you know the Third Young Master. Otherwise, how will I take you into the circle in the future?"

"President Xue, we’re all colleagues, there’s no special relationship." Bai Ruoshu took the initiative to speak up for Lin Zhiyi.

Just as everyone was waiting to see the drama unfold, Lin Zhiyi slowly stood up.

"Thank you, Miss Bai, for speaking for me, but Zhao Xuan is right. Although we’ve been working overtime every night recently, we indeed haven’t been able to provide any useful suggestions."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoshu’s expression froze slightly.

Xue Man turned her head to look at the others: "You’ve all been working overtime?"

She had recently flown abroad, so she wasn’t fully aware of the studio’s situation.

Lin Zhiyi, looking guilty, continued: "President Xue, everyone hasn’t helped much, so we feel embarrassed to admit it."

Seizing the opportunity, others quickly nodded.

"President Xue, Miss Bai is indeed the most hardworking; we’ve only provided some ideas."

"Yes, Miss Bai’s design is truly flawless; I can’t find any points to modify."

One after another, they exalted Bai Ruoshu to the highest point.

But this was just Lin Zhiyi’s first step.

Xue Man, looking at the flattering crowd, knew none of them were telling the truth.

Her tone intensified: "So many of you, and not a single one can provide ideas? Then why do I need you? Let’s just have Ruoshu replace all of you! Get out!"

Everyone was stunned, even Zhao Xuan remained silent.

"Are you mute? Show me your suggestions." Xue Man signaled.

This was Lin Zhiyi’s second step.

Fighting alone against Bai Ruoshu didn’t make sense.

But what about the whole team?

The entire studio was filled with savvy people; in the jewelry field, in the fashion circle, everyone knew how tough it was to get by.

Should they really give up their own livelihood just for Bai Ruoshu?

At this point, Bai Ruoshu’s face was no longer as calm as usual.

One suggestion draft after another was handed to Xue Man; she glanced through them and knew who was working and who was slack.

She picked out a draft.

"This amendment isn’t bad. The ancient coin ring has a round sky and square ground; the jade in the middle shouldn’t be too plain—it must have artistic conception."

"The ancient coin directly uses existing inscriptions from excavated ancient coins; this really won’t do, wealthy people pay a lot of attention to these things."

"Whose is this?"

She waved the draft.

Lin Zhiyi raised her hand: "It’s mine."

Xue Man’s gaze wandered between Lin Zhiyi and Bai Ruoshu, having an idea.

"Ruoshu..."

Lin Zhiyi interrupted: "Miss Bai has indeed been overwhelmed recently; she probably didn’t see what I wrote."

Upon hearing "didn’t see," Xue Man knew Bai Ruoshu simply didn’t want Lin Zhiyi involved in the design.

However, behind Lin Zhiyi was Gong Chen; the reason she quickly got the design collaboration with Ji Nian Jewelry was largely because of Lin Zhiyi.

She thought for a moment and agreed.

"Ruoshu has many clients, indeed leaving her with little time, but you shouldn’t entirely rely on her alone."

"How about this: each of you design a piece of Ji Nian Jewelry; we’ll select the best then."

Other colleagues, upon hearing they could also participate in the collaboration with Gong Group, appeared exceedingly excited.

If selected, it would also aid their own careers.

Thinking about this, colleagues who were previously flattering Bai Ruoshu no longer cared about her expression.
