She wanted to give her a chance.
If she couldn't grasp it, then there was nothing she could do.
The woman was conflicted, knowing that if Mr. Wen found out, she wouldn't be able to stay in this studio.
After a few seconds, the woman spoke, "Mr. Wen, I need money, that's why..."
Wen Yan responded calmly, "You can tell me if you need money, but you can't use company funds to subsidize your family. I've calculated that these few amounts combined are equivalent to half a year's income for the designers in the studio. So I'm telling you now, find a way to repay the money from the bills."
Although the woman felt it would be difficult, she was very grateful that Wen Yan could do this, "Thank you, Mr. Wen, I will."
"Go," Wen Yan waved her hand.
After the woman left, Wen Yan sat down again and sent a message to Ye Shu, "Sister Ye, have you seen the design drafts?"
The other party replied after a while, "I've seen them, your designs are great, I'm very satisfied. I'll send you the requirements for the remaining outfits now."
"Okay."
Wen Yan put down her phone, found some materials on ancient styles, and continued to explore them deeply.
A few minutes later.
When she received the requirements from Ye Shu, she felt a headache coming on; the remaining design drafts were even harder to design.
An hour later.
Wen Yan had a preliminary design draft. Then she received a call from Bai Quan, "Yan Yan, what are you doing?"
"I'm in the studio, I have a few design drafts to handle. What's up?"
Bai Quan smiled and invited, "Yan Yan, we haven't eaten together in a long time. Let's go while I have time!"
Wen Yan remembered what happened last time and smiled, "Quan Quan, you still dare to go out to eat with me!"
Bai Quan smiled back, "What's there to not dare? At worst, I'll save you again when you're in danger. We're sisters, what's the big deal?"
Wen Yan was touched, "You're still joking."
"Alright, hurry up and tell me if you can come out."
She raised an eyebrow, "I'm going out. Send me the location."
Bai Quan hummed.
Wen Yan hung up the phone and sent a message to Leng Xunze: Husband, I'm going shopping with Quan Quan. Call me if you need anything.
After sending it, she saw that Leng Xunze hadn't replied. She figured he might be busy and didn't think about it further.
She stood up and left the studio.
At this moment, Bai Quan sent her the address, and she took a taxi directly.
An hour later.
As soon as Wen Yan got out of the car, she heard Bai Quan excitedly call her, "Yan Yan."
She looked up and saw Bai Quan walking towards her in a versatile dress. A smile appeared on Wen Yan's face.
The two hugged each other. Bai Quan smiled, "Yan Yan, if I hadn't called you, would you have been so busy that you almost forgot me?"
Wen Yan said, "How could I? I could forget anyone but you!"
"I like hearing that," Bai Quan grinned.
They separated. Wen Yan looked at the mall in front of her and asked with some confusion, "Quan Quan, didn't you say we were going to eat? Why are we at the mall?"
Bai Quan explained, "Yan Yan, tonight we'll just buy some things first, then go eat. Actually, I also want to go sing, but I don't know if you'll accompany me."
Wen Yan considered it and readily replied, "I'll accompany you tonight."
She knew Bai Quan had been in a bad mood lately.
Upon hearing this, Bai Quan hugged her again, "Yan Yan, you're too good."
Wen Yan's lips curved, "Who told us we're best friends? Let's go."
Bai Quan nodded.
Wen Yan followed Bai Quan into the mall. Then Bai Quan was like a wild horse that had broken free, darting from the first floor to the third, and then sweeping through the designer dress stores on the third floor.
Wen Yan had never seen Bai Quan so happy. Later, after they finished eating, the sky outside had unconsciously turned very dark.
Just then, she received a call from Leng Xunze, "Yan Yan, where are you?"
Wen Yan smiled and said, "Quan Quan and I just finished dinner and are about to go sing."
"I'm still at the company. I'll pick you up when I'm done." Leng Xunze was still at the company preparing for a project collaboration.
A smile appeared on Wen Yan's face, "Okay."
She hung up the phone. Bai Quan called her, "Yan Yan, hurry up! It's been so long since we've gone out to sing."
Before, she had focused all her attention on her family, only knowing how to manage the household every day.
Now, she felt so relieved that she no longer had to look at Rong Beifeng's face.
Wen Yan caught up with her, "Coming!"
The two found a relatively reasonably priced club. As soon as they walked in, Wen Yan saw a man who was very drunk walking towards them.
The man raised his blurry eyes, and the moment his gaze fell on Bai Quan, he immediately smiled, "Yo, where did such a beautiful lady come from? Come, have another drink with your brother."
Saying that, he stumbled and lunged towards Bai Quan.
Bai Quan felt disgusted. Wen Yan was about to intervene when a man suddenly walked in from outside. He quickly stepped forward and kicked the man.
The man was Feng Yan.
Wen Yan saw the man's back and thought he looked familiar, but couldn't recall him immediately.
The man was kicked to the ground. In his daze, he sobered up a bit.
Feng Yan glanced at the man, "Causing trouble after a few drinks?"
When the man recognized Feng Yan, his face turned ashen, "Young Master Feng, please don't be angry. I'll leave now, I'll leave now. I was drunk."
The man, disregarding everything else, scrambled to his feet and was about to leave.
"Come back!" a cold glint flashed in Feng Yan's eyes.
Wen Yan heard this and immediately remembered that this person was Feng Yan. Why had she been running into him so often these past few days?
Last time he saved her mother, and this time he saved her best friend.
She felt like she owed him another favor.
Bai Quan turned to look at Wen Yan and noticed her expression was a bit off. She asked, "Yan Yan, do you know this man?"
Just as Wen Yan was about to speak, the man's gaze shifted. He walked up to Bai Quan and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was too drunk. I apologize."
Bai Quan, feeling disgusted, didn't say anything. Feng Yan turned to the man, "Scram!"
The man nodded in thanks, "Thank you, Young Master Feng."
He wished he had more legs to run away with.
He then looked at Wen Yan, "Miss Wen, we meet again. How do you plan to thank me this time?"
Just as Wen Yan was about to suggest treating him to a meal, Bai Quan spoke, "Young Master Feng, thank you for saving me."
Feng Yan's lips curved slightly, "You're welcome. You're Miss Wen's friend, so I naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing."
Wen Yan was a little confused, "Why is Young Master Feng here?"
"I was passing by. Why is Miss Wen here?" Feng Yan's eyes held a smile.
She frankly replied, "I'm here to sing with my friend. Thank you very much for saving my friend. We'll be going now."
Saying that, she prepared to pull Bai Quan away.
Feng Yan looked at Wen Yan, "Miss Wen, are you really unwilling to talk to me?"
Wen Yan's expression changed slightly, and she replied, "I think Young Master Feng must have other matters to attend to, and I don't want to delay you."
