Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 532

Chapter 532: Chapter 532 More Want to Hear You Call Me Uncle

Coffee shop.

Lin Zhiyi met with the client and showed her the final design draft.

The client nodded with satisfaction and admired it even while holding her coffee.

"You really understand what I want."

"Actually, I had consulted others in your studio before, but they were too set in their own artistic ideas."

The implication was that they didn’t listen to the client’s ideas.

When Lin Zhiyi first met this client, she realized that the client had vision.

So during the design process, she intentionally kept the client’s ideas in mind.

Who wouldn’t want to wear the jewelry of their dreams when getting engaged?

Lin Zhiyi held her coffee cup and smiled, "Thank you, I’m glad you like it. If there are no problems, I’ll expedite it for you."

"No problem, out of all the designers here at Xue Man’s studio, I think you’re the best. In the future, whenever I need jewelry designed, I’ll come to you."

The client beamed happily and took a sip of her coffee.

Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment and then gently said, "I’m sorry, today is my last day at the studio. In the future, if you need anything, you can have the studio select another designer for you."

The client put down her coffee cup and stared at Lin Zhiyi.

"Have you decided what you will do next?"

"I’ll certainly support you."

The client smiled warmly, appearing much more approachable than before.

Lin Zhiyi thought she had impressed the client with her design.

Just as she was about to reel the client in for her new studio, a sudden realization struck her.

The client didn’t seem surprised by her sudden departure from Xue Man’s studio.

She even readily asked what she would do next.

As if she already knew she would be leaving.

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, pretended to take a sip of coffee, and secretly observed the client.

There wasn’t really much curiosity on her face.

Which makes sense.

A lady of her stature, why would she care where Lin Zhiyi was going or what she was doing?

In their eyes, Lin Zhiyi was no different from a waiter.

Her earlier compliments seemed intentional.

Seeing Lin Zhiyi silent, the client continued, "What’s wrong? Is there something you can’t tell me? I have many friends you know."

Lin Zhiyi looked down, feigning difficulty, "It’s not that I can’t say, I’m just a bit embarrassed to admit that I’m planning to return to running my online store. It’s just a small business."

"I see... what a pity."

The client said nothing more, drank two sips of coffee, then stood up saying she had matters to attend to and left.

As she walked out of the coffee shop, Lin Zhiyi saw her eagerly making a phone call.

Lin Zhiyi had a premonition that the client’s words had something to do with her.

Outside the coffee shop.

The client spoke into her phone, "She has no backup plans, otherwise she wouldn’t refuse incoming clients."

The person on the other end chuckled faintly.

"Thank you. As for the gambling debts you secretly accrued behind your husband’s back, I’ll help you write them off."

Hearing this, the client visibly breathed a sigh of relief. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Just as she was about to express her gratitude, the dial tone cut her off.

At that moment.

Lin Zhiyi turned her gaze back and just sat down when someone took a seat opposite her.

Seeing clearly who it was, she was momentarily shocked.

It was Gong Yao.

Before she could say anything, Gong Yao gestured to the waiter.

"A glass of lemon water, please."

"Certainly, sir."

The waiter promptly brought the lemon water.

Gong Yao leaned back on the sofa, speaking leisurely, "Do you really believe what that client said?"

Upon hearing his voice, Lin Zhiyi suddenly felt her hairs stand on end.

The tone felt eerily familiar.

But looking at Gong Yao’s face, she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.

Snapping back to reality, she took a deep breath.

"Mr. Gong, it seems we’re not acquainted enough to discuss my work."

"Uncle," Gong Yao corrected.

"What?"

Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Yao, confused.

Gong Yao smiled slightly, "Actually, I’d prefer if you called me Uncle. Don’t you think it sounds different?"

His smile didn’t reach his eyes. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
