Qi Yan was deeply moved upon hearing the words and nodded.
She hadn't expected that after going in circles, it would still be her.
"Ms. Xia, thank you!"
"Thank you!"
Qi Yan bowed to show her gratitude.
Xia Bingqing nodded, "Alright, no need to be so formal!"
Just then, Qi Yu shouted, "Ms. Xia, you cannot cooperate with her, because these new designs were all created by me overnight!"
"You can't just negate me!"
"And you certainly can't stifle me!"
"That's right!" Qi Mama chimed in, as if in a duet.
Xia Bingqing said, "Even if Qi Yan doesn't have the Qi family's bloodline, how much has she contributed to the Qi family? And you treat someone so meritorious in such a way? Your character is truly questionable. I have nothing more to say to you! That's all, stop talking, this is how it is!"
Her attitude was cold and resolute, giving the impression of unyielding authority.
Qi Yan was deeply touched by Xia Bingqing's defense.
At this moment, Qi Yan stated, "The designs from last night were basically all completed by me. What problem does that have with you, Qi Yu?"
"If you say you designed them, can you explain the design concept?"
Qi Yan seized this opportunity to compete with Qi Yu.
Qi Yu froze in place upon hearing this, unable to speak. "You... who says I can't explain?"
"I..."
"If you can, then speak. Why are you just standing there?" Qi Yan was now quite confrontational.
Qi Yu was, naturally, incapable of creating such designs.
Seeing this, Qi Yan added, "What are you doing just standing there? Continue speaking!"
Qi Yu remained frozen.
Her chest heaved with anger.
If looks could kill, Qi Yan would have been riddled with holes by now.
Seeing that Qi Yu couldn't explain, Qi Yan then said, "The new products I designed fully integrate the corporate culture of Bingqing Cosmetics. Take the Imperial Concubine Cream, for example; its bottle design incorporates historical culture, and so on..."
Xia Bingqing understood at a glance that Qi Yan's professional ability was indeed superior.
As for Qi Yu, in a word, she was a slacker.
Thus, Qi Mama and Qi Yu were utterly humiliated!
The two of them were extremely embarrassed, wishing they could disappear into a crack in the ground!
How wretched!
Ah, ah...
Xia Bingqing's expression was neutral. "Do you have anything else to say?"
The two of them were in such a pathetic state that they naturally had nothing more to say!
They prepared to leave.
At this moment, Chen Fan spoke up, "Did I say you could leave?"
Qi Mama and Qi Yu froze in place upon hearing this.
"You..."
"What else do you want to do?"
"We're already embarrassed enough, aren't we!"
Chen Fan snorted, "Your embarrassment is entirely self-inflicted. What does it have to do with us?"
"Chen Fan, don't push it too far. One must always leave a sliver of dignity!" Qi Mama said, frowning, with a hint of threat.
Chen Fan, naturally, was not afraid of such things. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You two are truly the cream of the crop of eccentrics!"
"Tsk, tsk!"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing much," Chen Fan replied, then extended his hand, "Hand it over!"
Qi Mama and Qi Yu were both stunned. "Hand over what?"
Chen Fan said, "Your phones!"
Qi Mama and Qi Yu then realized what he meant.
Their phones still contained beautiful photos of Qi Yan.
Qi Mama and Qi Yu directly refused, "Our phones, why should we give them to you?"
