Chapter 39: Don’t Worry, You Still Have Me

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhan Yeling’s position as the person in charge of the Zhan family was merely temporary, he was just the CEO. The real power still lay in the hands of the family patriarch, Zhan Junyi.

Zhan Junyi had declared that at the upcoming product launch, his three sons would compete, and whoever won would take over the reins of the family business.

This was a bloodless yet bloody competition.

Zhan Yeling’s fists clenched, his dark eyes filled with anger.

He understood what this victory or defeat represented.

“You should worry about yourself, big brother.” Zhan Yeling’s words were clipped, squeezed out through gritted teeth.

“But, little brother, you do have a talent, and that is charming women. I wonder how my student, Xiong Miao, was seduced by you. Just now, I went to the design department to pick her up. She didn’t want to ride in my car or come to see you with me. She’s probably worried about being misunderstood,” Zhan Zifeng said, nonchalantly adjusting his cufflinks.

Just then, a knock sounded at the office door.

“Come in!” Zhan Yeling commanded.

The door opened, and a petite woman walked in. She wore black straight-leg pants and a khaki short woolen coat. She looked plain.

“President Zhan, Assistant Gu Yi told me you wanted to see me,” Xiong Miao said, curtsying slightly and maintaining a professional smile.

Seeing Zhan Zifeng, she also nodded slightly in greeting.

“Yes, Manager Xiong, President Zhan wanted to see you.” Seeing Xiong Miao, Gu Yi felt like he’d seen a lifesaver.

Being caught in the crossfire between the two sons, he was sweating bullets. Xiong Miao’s arrival could help ease the tension.

Zhan Zifeng glanced at Zhan Yeling again, his face stern, his gaze cold.

It was clear he was not welcome.

Zhan Zifeng got the hint, and as he passed by Xiong Miao, he paused slightly, “Manager Xiong, I look forward to seeing your work on the runway on October 28th. I wonder if the student will surpass the master, or if the old ginger is still spicier. We’ll see who wins at the show.”

With that, Zhan Zifeng left the office.

Xiong Miao’s eyes widened in shock.

What did he mean?

Her designs were going to compete with Zhan Zifeng’s?

Oh my god, Zhan Zifeng was her graduation project mentor!

Her designs were all taught by Zhan Zifeng!

Besides, she had just graduated not too long ago and was still a fresh grad. How could she compete with her university mentor’s work?

“Manager Xiong, are you okay?” Gu Yi saw her expression and asked worriedly.

“Are our designs going to compete with Zhan Zifeng’s?” Although she had gathered this from Zhan Zifeng’s words, she wanted to confirm it.

Gu Yi solemnly nodded. He too had just found out from Zhan Zifeng’s mouth that Xiong Miao was his student!

Could a student surpass their teacher?

This was a matter of probability.

“Oh, my god.” Xiong Miao slapped her forehead, feeling like she wanted to die.

Previously, she had made a sworn bet with Xiao Chen that she would definitely succeed at the new product launch.

She thought it was just a regular launch.

But she hadn’t expected it to be a competition against others, and against her mentor, Zhan Zifeng, no less!

Her fiery confidence, at this moment, was completely extinguished, like a frost-stricken eggplant.

“Don’t worry, you still have me. We can lose anything but not our confidence,” a deep male voice chimed in.
