Qiao Xi had already planned things out in her heart. If she signed a contract with the Gu Corporation, Yao Mengqing would be in violation of both her and Gu Corporation’s copyright terms. The amount of compensation she would have to pay would double, or perhaps it would be even more than that. With

this, Yao Mengqing would definitely be given a lesson she would remember.

But Gu Zheng, this damned man, refused to sign the contract with her. Qiao Xi’s plan was completely messed up.

Qiao Xi frowned as waves of anger surged in her heart. No matter what Gu Zheng said, she was unwilling to forgive him, so she secretly decided that no matter what Gu Zheng said this time, she would not cooperate with Gu Corporation!

Shortly after, Gu Zheng’s voice slowly sounded from behind her. “Mrs. Gu, I’m speaking the truth. With your status, you shouldn’t sign a contract with any company. You’ll have more freedom and won’t be restricted.

“We don’t have to sign a contract if we want to work together. As the president of Gu Corporation, I’ve decided to buy the design draft of ‘Returning Dream’ that you created three years ago. This way, you won’t have to sign a contract with Gu Corporation to achieve your goal.”

Qiao Xi was instantly stunned.

Returning Dream?

It was the draft that Yao Mengging plagiarized!

If Gu Corporation bought Returning Dream and Yao Mengging sold her plagiarized works in batches, Gu Corporation would demand compensation and Yao Mengqing would have to pay a huge price.

Qiao Xi was just about to turn around when she heard Gu Zheng’s unhurried voice. “But… Mrs. Gu, you seem to have decided not to cooperate with Gu Corporation anymore, so I won’t force you.”1

Qiao Xi instantly swallowed the words she was about to say.

‘Was there a man who was worse than Gu Zheng in this world?

Qiao Xi, who’d just sworn in her heart that she wouldn’t agree no matter what Gu Zheng said, suddenly hesitated.

She thought about it for a while before turning around slowly and moving closer to Gu Zheng. “Ah Zheng~”

Gu Zheng’s eyes softened.

Mrs. Gu, who was still angry a moment ago, suddenly became shy and revealed a fawning smile.

“Ah Zheng! You’re so smart! You intend to buy my design draft to achieve the same result. My impression of you has improved again. Ah Zheng, I love you so much!”

Gu Zheng smirked. “Does that mean that you’ve agreed?”

Qiao Xi nodded like a chick pecking on rice. “Of course! Actually, I’ve always wanted to work with you. I was just joking earlier. I’m very happy that you’re willing to work with me!

“rma girl, after all, so I have to be more reserved! Since you’ve already invited me, of course, I’ll agree. I’ll sell the design draft of Returning Dream to you at a low price. Is three million okay? You’ll get a huge sum of compensation soon. It’ll definitely be a profit!

“Ah Zheng, you’re smart and capable! You’re handsome, rich, wise, and competent! Actually, I’ve been wanting to work with you for a long time! This is the best opportunity. I’m even willing to sell the design draft to you at a low price. Where else can you find such a good deal? Hurry up and agree!”

Three million yuan to buy Yun Chu’s design draft. If news of this got out, countless jewelry companies would probably show up at Yun Chu’s door with stacks of money.

The smile on Gu Zheng’s face grew wider. “Since you’re so sincere, I’ll agree to it.”

Qiao Xi jumped up in excitement, but she had forgotten something. “Have you printed the contract? We’ll sign it now. Let’s not waste time!”

Gu Zheng waved his hand indifferently, and Song Shiyu brought over a contract.

Qiao Xi signed her name without the slightest hesitation, but she didn’t sign it as Yun Chu and signed it as Qiao Xi instead.

After receiving the contract that she had been longing for, Qiao Xi urged Gu Zheng, saying, “Get Song Shiyu to use the Gu Corporation’s account to post a statement on Weibo about the company buying Yun Chu’s design draft.”

First, they would tell everyone about this matter. Then, after Yao Mengqing sold her designs in bulk, they would take out evidence and ask Yao Mengqing to compensate them with a huge sum of money!

Gu Zheng nodded and gave a few instructions according to Qiao Xi’s wishes. Then, he sized Qiao Xi up with interest and slowly said, “Mrs. Gu.”

“Huh?”

He lowered his eyes slightly and said casually, “If you have nothing to do, read more books and learn how to praise others. Don’t use what you learned from television dramas in real life. It’s very awkward.”

The smile on Qiao Xi’s face gradually vanished: “?

Read more books? Did he mean that she was uneducated?

This wretched man! How unlucky of her to have met him!
