With her problems taken care of, Yu Yan was able to peacefully go to sleep. She woke up early the next morning. From an early point on she had worked hard on her thesis for her master's degree and had almost finished it. With only some fine-tuning left she had a lot of free time at hand. Eating a simple homemade breakfast, she made her way towards Miss Wu's company with a few of her better designs. These were the design that Yun Feng had used at the start of her carrier. They had become very popular quickly and she had easily made her way into Li corporation.
Getting off the bus, she went straight to the front reception to try her luck.
"Hello, I would like to meet miss Wu."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No... But I know she is in dire need of a good designer"
The receptionist hesitated, looking at Yu Yan clothes she was able to tell that the stranger was not just anyone. However, she could not just let someone in without a prior appointment.
"I'm sorry miss, but I can't let you in. You have to get an appointment first."
Even though Yu Yan knew, she had still hoped. Just when she was ready to turn back in disappointment, she heard the voice of a woman.
"What's going on here?"
The newly arrived woman was looking back at her with curiosity.
"Miss Wu, my name is Yu Yan. I'm here to offer you a deal. Your company have enough capital and good management, however your still in such dire state. What your missing is a good designer. I think we could mutually benefit from this deal."
She looked amused but curious. Even though Yu Yan had almost finished her master's degree she was only 22 years old. Even with her curvy body and long legs, it did not have much effect when one saw her innocent-looking, beautiful face.
"Well then, why don't we continue in my office?"
In the large office, decorated elegantly the two women sat opposite to each other. Picking up the cup of tea that was offered to her, Yu Yan slowly tasted it. Hmm.. this taste matched the feeling she got from the lady in front of her.
"My name is Wu Ming Yue, I believe you have a proposition for me?"
"CEO Wu, you have great ability however you lack proper designers. I am looking for a job and thought we could come to an agreement."
"If you wanted a job, you could apply like any other person. There is no reason for you to come to meet me personally?"
"Well my designs can make you millions, so I would like to get some shares in return." Yu Yan stated without hesitating. There was clear disbelief in the eyes of the other woman.
"You want shares? How much?" Wu Ming Yue asked.
"15 present."
Anger flashed through the eyes of Wu Ming Yue."Do you take me for a fool?"
"No, quite the opposite. I will make you earn tens off millions, win the rising talent award, and get our clothing selling in the three biggest malls in the city all within a year!"
"Impossible! You look like you're barely past 20, your think business is simple?"
"No. If I could keep my promise you will give me 15 present of the shares, if not I would work for free for three years. Just take a look at my designs, you won't regret hiring me"
Looking at the resolute young girl, third miss Wu received the designs. Carefully looking through them she was surprised. These designs were gorgeous. It was this kind of designer she was missing. Though she doubted the girl would be able to keep all three promises, her talent was apparent. It seemed she had found a treasure.
"Alright, it's a deal. When will you start working?"
"In a month, after I graduate. "
That left Wu Ming Yue surprised, she thought that the girl might look much younger than her actual age. Looking at her designs, she had a great sense. She had believed the young lady would at least have a few years of experience.
After making the deal, both women eagerly got their agreement on paper before signing the contract. Having eaten lunch together Yu Yan left happily. She would enjoy life this time. Live out her dreams, enjoy simple, daily-life pleasures, having loyal friends, finding a nice man to marry and even having e few children of her own. These were things she had wished for, but never able to get.
After buying groceries, she went home and started to do chores. After all, she and Li Yi Feng no longer had any relations, so she had already sent back the helpers at home. The apartment had two bedrooms, a study and a spacious living room. It was elegantly furnished with a modern but homely look. It was quite big for her alone. After all, she had to cramp in a small single room apartment. A tiny bathroom and the rest crammed inside a small room smaller than her current bathroom. She had learned to do all her chores on her own, and it did not seem too hard anymore. She quietly did everything that had to be done and made a simple, but tasteful dinner.
There had not been much to do, but she still felt very tired after finishing. Her body was too weak. She had to properly rest and get better. She decided she would start working out after she recovered. Feeling sleepy Yu Yan decided to take an afternoon nap.
