Chapter 152 has character, I like it.
On her first day at work, Yan Zuozuo encountered Fisher. She saw him sitting unrestrainedly in Lu Yaoyuan's seat, while Lu Yaoyuan stood there obediently listening to a scolding, like a primary school student who had made a mistake.
"Tsk tsk, you've only been gone a short time and your designs have already become a complete mess? Don't go out and say you're my apprentice, it's too embarrassing."
Lu Yaoyuan was speechless, thinking, "Then why don't you point it out? All you do is criticize people. Can't you give me some real insights?"
Fisher chuckled and gave him a flirtatious wink. "What, you're not happy about it?"
"How dare I? Your disciple is listening attentively to your earnest teachings!" Lu Yaoyuan chuckled ingratiatingly, then sidled closer. "Master, tell me what you're not satisfied with, so your disciple can correct it."
"Want to learn from me?" Fisher's smile was malicious, which made Lu Yaoyuan shiver and take two steps back warily. "I don't do murder or arson. Master, you'd better find someone else."
Fisher rolled his eyes: "You'd have to have the ability, wouldn't you be overestimating yourself?"
Lu Yaoyuan's lips twitched: "..."
"Tell me what Sweetheart has been busy with lately. I've been here for three days and haven't seen her."
Lu Yaoyuan's eyes widened: "Master, do you have feelings for a married woman? That's my sister-in-law, isn't that inappropriate?"
Snapped!
Fisher slapped Lu Yaoyuan on the head, furious, "Is your master that kind of person?"
Lu Yaoyuan pursed his lips: Master, you're quite old yourself.
A few seconds later, Fisher stroked his chin and said, "Even if I were to be with Sweetheart, I'd have to wait until she gets a divorce first. That's a tricky situation."
"..." Lu Yaoyuan had crows flying all over his head. "Master, your understanding has improved!"
Snapped!
Another slap landed on Lu Yaoyuan's head. "I've always had a high level of awareness!"
Didn't see it.
That's because you're blind, you stupid apprentice!
"Alright, let's get down to business. What has my sweetheart been busy with lately? Tell me!"
Lu Yuanyuan spoke frankly and without reservation, completely betraying Yan Zuozuo. Well, not exactly betraying her, but rather implying that her master was incredibly powerful and might be able to help her catch that vile woman, Mu Yaoqian, as soon as possible.
Fisher suddenly realized: "So that's what trouble we've run into, hehe."
Lu Yaoyuan always felt that Fisher's smile was malicious, so he cautiously asked him, "Master, you wouldn't be thinking of taking advantage of the situation, kicking someone when they're down, secretly plotting against them, and forcibly taking a woman away, would you... Oh!"
Before Lu Yaoyuan could finish speaking, a magazine slammed into his head, yelling, "Go back to where you came from! Is your master's glorious image something for you to slander? Go away, I'm going to sit here and wait for my sweetheart!"
Lu Yaoyuan burst into tears: Master, this is my office.
Not long after, Yan Zuozuo came to work, naturally first notifying the design director, Lu Yaoyuan, of her leave. However, upon entering the office, she didn't see Lu Yaoyuan, but instead saw Fisher sitting casually behind his desk.
She was taken aback: "Mr. Fisher?"
Upon seeing Yan Zuozuo arrive, Fisher jumped up from his seat and rushed to her side, hugging her tightly. "My sweetheart, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for three days!"
Yan Zuozuo struggled awkwardly for a moment, then blinked blankly: "You wanted to see me about something?"
“I’d like you to be my tour guide,” Fisher said matter-of-factly.
Yan Zuozuo frowned slightly: "Maybe not. I have to work during the day, and I have other things to do when I get home tonight. Or maybe..."
"Do you want my life's work?" Fisher interrupted her directly, asking arrogantly.
Yan Zuozuo was stunned. Before she could speak, Lu Yaoyuan, who had been eavesdropping at the door, suddenly burst in. "I want it, I want it, Master! I'll pick up the soap for you and be your tour guide. You teach me!"
Fisher glanced at him, looking troubled. "But what if I'm not interested in your chrysanthemum?"
Lu Yaoyuan burst into tears, grabbing Yan Zuozuo and saying, "Sister-in-law, please say yes, please say yes quickly. When you graduate, I'll be your apprentice."
Moral integrity, huh?
Yan Zuozuo glanced at Fisher, then at Lu Yaoyuan. Design was her lifelong dream, and she really wanted to agree, but she was in no mood to accompany Mr. Fisher on a sightseeing trip. She lowered her eyes, just about to shake her head in refusal, when she heard Fisher say, "Add Mu Yaoqian too!"
Yan Zuozuo froze, staring at him in astonishment, "You..."
"My master is a powerful and ruthless villain. He doesn't even care about a little Mu Yaoqian. You should agree quickly." Lu Yaoyuan looked at Yan Zuozuo with shining eyes. Fisher's life-long secret technique is like the Sunflower Manual. Who wouldn't want to learn it?
Yan Zuozuo thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I'm sorry, I have to work during the day and take care of my child at night, so I'm afraid I can't accept Mr. Fisher's kindness."
I thought he would be angry, but instead Fisher burst out laughing, "You have personality, I like it!"
Yan Zuozuo was speechless. So Mr. Fisher likes people to do the opposite of what he wants.
Considering it was Fisher's first time in China and the long journey, Yan Zuozuo was given a day off to take Fisher around and, incidentally, to investigate the children's clothing market.
Since Lu Yaoyuan had already said that, Yan Zuozuo couldn't refuse any longer, so she took Fisher for a walk around. Fisher shared a lot of design experience with her, which Yan Zuozuo found very helpful. After walking for a while, Fisher said he wanted to eat ice cream and ran off to buy some, leaving her to wait for him.
"Yan Zuozuo, what a coincidence?" Suddenly, a sharp voice came from behind.
Yan Zuozuo turned her head and frowned, meeting Sophie's ferocious expression. They hadn't seen each other for long, but Sophie seemed like a completely different person. Her once calm and composed demeanor had vanished, replaced by a gloomy face, as if she had aged several years in an instant.
Yan Zuozuo originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but Su Fei clearly wasn't going to let her off the hook. She hurriedly walked up to her, glaring at her fiercely, "Why are you alone? Where is that little bitch Fu Zixin? Hand her over, and I'll tear her to shreds!"
Yan Zuozuo frowned. Fu Zixin had completely cut off contact with Wang Kaijun the moment she became Su Fei's bridesmaid. This woman couldn't keep her own man, and now she's coming to provoke him. Is that really interesting?
She pursed her lips and said, "Ms. Su, please speak with some respect."
"Respect? You don't deserve it! You're just like Fu Zixin, a despicable woman who ousted the original wife and became the mistress. What right do you have to be respected? I heard Cai Qingqing is now in a mental hospital. Yan Zuozuo, what a clever trick." Sophie said irrationally.
Yan Zuozuo narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Fake pregnancy to force a man to marry you, Miss Sophie's methods aren't that clever."
"You!" Sophie glared fiercely at Yan Zuozuo. She saw Fisher approaching from afar and protectively shielded Yan Zuozuo behind her, asking with an unfriendly expression, "Who are you? What do you want?"
Sophie seemed to have discovered some secret and sneered, "I really underestimated Miss Yan. You've had a child and you're still in such high demand. I wonder if President Chi knows that you've already cheated on me?" Her words were malicious.
Yan Zuozuo didn't want to waste words with her, so she glanced at Fisher and said, "Let's go."
Fisher glanced at Sophie, then at Yan Zuozuo, said nothing, and started to leave. But Sophie clearly wasn't going to let her go, grabbing Yan Zuozuo's arm. "Why are you running? Feeling guilty? Should I call the reporters right now and let everyone see how you, this shameless slut, cheated on your husband? How despicable!"
To be honest, Sophie originally had no grudges against Yan Zuozuo, but who made her friends with Fu Zixin and even encouraged Fu Zixin to marry Su Kang? Wang Kaijun couldn't let go of Fu Zixin to begin with, and her marriage to Su Kang clearly showed that she wanted to rekindle their relationship. With Su Kang protecting her, Fu Zixin couldn't touch him, so she just happened to run into Yan Zuozuo and could only vent her anger on her.
Yan Zuozuo was annoyed by her scolding and raised an eyebrow at her, "When we last met, wasn't Miss Su pregnant again? Why isn't her belly big now? Could it be another fake pregnancy?"
It's better not to mention the child; the moment it's brought up, Sophie goes crazy. She wasn't faking her pregnancy; she was genuinely pregnant. But when she discovered Wang Kaijun secretly visiting her, they argued, and Wang Kaijun accidentally pushed her, resulting in the loss of the baby. Although Wang Kaijun felt guilty and hasn't mentioned divorce recently, the loss of the child has fueled her deep hatred for Fu Zixin, making her even more twisted.
"Say it again!" Sophie's eyes suddenly turned vicious as she approached Yan Zuozuo step by step.
Yan Zuozuo found her strange expression, and the image of Cai Qingqing's crazy actions flashed through her mind. She subconsciously took two steps back and tried to pull Fischer away. But Sophie blocked her way again, her eyes red and roaring, "You bitch, how dare you mention my child? I will never let you get away with this!" As she spoke, she grabbed Yan Zuozuo's hair.
Yan Zuozuo felt a sharp pain from Su Fei's grip and tried to shake her off, but Su Fei wouldn't let go. "You shameless woman, you're cheating on Chi Moqing with other women outside. I'll tell him today and see how long you can be so smug!"
Seeing this, Fisher was about to make a move when he saw a man walking towards them from not far away. He exuded a gloomy aura and before Sophie could react, he reached out and tightly gripped her wrist. His cold and imposing presence was frightening.
"No need for Miss Su to worry, I've already seen it." He said in a cold voice, which startled Su Fei. She then said with schadenfreude, "It's good that President Chi saw it. Your wife has openly cheated on you. Congratulations, President Chi."
"Miss Sophie, have you never had dinner or spoken to any man other than Wang Kaijun?" Chi Moqing gently held Yan Zuozuo in his arms, standing coldly in front of Sophie. "Miss Sophie, do you want to leave on your own, or should I ask President Su to come and take you back?"
Faced with Chi Moqing's powerful aura, Su Fei was dumbfounded.
Chi Moqing was actually protecting Yan Zuozuo so much, seeing her chatting and laughing with another man without a shred of suspicion. She clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with malice, "Mr. Chi, don't blame me for not warning you, this woman is no pushover, you'd better watch yourself!"
"Miss Su should be the one to behave herself." Chi Moqing glanced at her indifferently, then his gaze softened as he looked at Yan Zuozuo. He smiled at her, "Do you have guests? How about I treat you to lunch?"
Yan Zuozuo glanced at Fisher and introduced, "This is my husband, Chi Moqing; this is Mr. Fisher, whom I mentioned to you, Lu Yaoyuan's master."
The two men sized each other up, and Fisher smiled and said, "Then President Chi will have to treat us to lunch."
"Of course." The two shook hands.
