Chapter 94: Lack of Inspiration

The familiar female voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds. Just when Su Wan thought the person dialed the wrong number, the familiar female voice started speaking.

“Su Wan, I’m Ye Shanshan. I have something to tell you.”

It was unusual that Ye Shanshan had called her.

Su Wan’s brows twitched and expected to hear bad news. As she had her speaker on, she put her finger over her mouth to hint at Jiang Xuecheng to keep quiet before she started talking.

“Yes, Miss Ye, I’m listening.”

Hearing Ye Shanshan’s charming voice, Su Wan awoke suddenly, as if splashed by ice water.

She heard Ye Shanshan say, “Ji Qing copied your Beitong’s draft proposal to a USB disk.”

Su Wan had a calmness that never previously existed. When she saw Jiang Xuecheng looking at her with a faint smile and raised brows, Su Wan rolled her eyes and said calmly, “Thank you for telling me, Miss Ye.”

Ye Shanshan, on the other hand, was obviously not as calm as Su Wan was but instead, her emotions got more stirred up.

“Su Wan, you believe what I said so easily? Aren’t you afraid that I’m here to mislead you?”

A light flashed through Su Wan’s eyes. “Miss Ye, no matter what your motive is, I believe you told me out of good intention. Thank you.”

Beitong’s planning proposal was one heavy load on Su Wan’s shoulders. She could not slack in her work.

Hence, Su Wan would rather believe what Ye Shanshan said was true. Moreover, Ye Shanshan had no reason to lie to her.

At least, Ye Shanshan would not accuse someone of stealing her design without concrete reasons because it would definitely bring trouble to herself if she were to frame someone and did not plan it thoroughly.

As Ye Shanshan could hardly take care of herself now, her focus would be to protect herself in the short term. Without a stable footing, it was unlikely that she would risk framing others.

On the other end, Ye Shanshan heard what Su Wan said and had mixed feelings.

She indeed hated Su Wan, but she hated people like Ji Qing who would stab someone in the back even more. Hence, she chose to tell Su Wan, but Ye Shanshan had never expected Su Wan to believe her easily without the need for her to explain.

Ye Shanshan pursed her lips and tried to suppress the surge of emotions within her. “Do you have anything else to ask me?”

Su Wan was slightly taken aback. She felt Ye Shanshan’s attitude toward her was friendlier than what she had imagined. Su Wan smiled and shook her head.

“Nothing else, but please do me a favor. Please pretend as if you had not told me the news. I’ll deal with this. Next time, if something were to happen, I’ll take on the responsibility myself and will not bring you into this.”

“Alright. I’ll end my call now.”

Ye Shanshan had originally not planned to help Su Wan further than just telling her the news. Since Su Wan said it, she happily disassociated herself.

To Ye Shanshan, no matter what Ji Qing’s motive was to steal Su Wan’s design, she didn’t care. She just hoped the more these two people fought, the better it would be.

“Two dogs fight for a bone, and a third runs away with it.” Even if she could not be the third dog, she would definitely not want the two-faced Ji Qing to be the winner.

Ye Shanshan ended the call. Su Wan’s originally calm face turned heavy. She let out a few sighs as her head started to ache.

Trouble, trouble, trouble! The Beitong project had originally been difficult and now that her draft had been taken by someone else, she had to think of a new idea.

In contrast to Su Wan’s bad mood, Jiang Xuecheng emitted tranquility. His words showed his pleasure in her misfortune as he teased her.

“Wan Wan, I’ve not known that such talents existed in Long Teng International. It’s surprising that someone is using such dirty tactics to trap you. You’d better come to the headquarters to be my personal assistant. It would be absolutely peaceful.”

Su Wan glared at Jiang Xuecheng and shrugged as she joked, “Weren’t you the one who gave me this project? I suspect that you were the one who ordered Ji Qing to steal my design so I’d fail.”

“I don’t know who Ji Qing is. Don’t accuse your husband,” Jiang Xuecheng said as his face turned serious. His long fingers skimmed over the desk and his voice turned cold as he said, “It’s time to investigate who the mastermind behind this is.”

Jiang Xuecheng’s analysis stunned Su Wan and she asked unconsciously, “You mean the stealing of the design is not just about Ji Qing?”

“She’s not Long Teng’s planner, what use will she have for your design? She must be thinking of selling your design to others.”

Jiang Xuecheng’s voice remained calm but there was a sense of unquestionable certainty. Su Wan’s body trembled uncontrollably when she heard him.

If things were such as Jiang Xuecheng mentioned, then this matter was even more complicated and serious than she had initially thought.

Su Wan smiled bitterly. “I’m a newcomer and not many people in Long Teng International know me. I don’t know why she did this.”

Jiang Xuecheng hit her head gently and said, “You don’t have to worry about luring the mastermind to show himself, I’ll do it for you. You’d better put your focus on your plan B.”

“You think I don’t wish to?” Su Wan frowned and shook her head. “But how could I have inspiration so easily?”

It was relatively simple to catch the mastermind behind this. As long as they did not act rashly and alert the mastermind, she would know the truth during the tender announcement. Whoever used her design would be the culprit.

Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s distress. He supported her face and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

“If you lack inspiration, I can help you…”

Su Wan’s eyes lit up. At first, she had thought Jiang Xuecheng would not help her think but since he was willing to help, two brains would be better than one!

Furthermore, Jiang Xuecheng was smart and his ideas would definitely be more brilliant than hers.

Su Wan beamed. She tugged Jiang Xuecheng’s sleeves excitedly while little stars were sparkling in her eyes.

“Xuecheng, there’s a hot spring in Beitong. I think if we build a hot spring hotel, it would be awesome, but Jiuzhou has many other hot spring hotels. How do we design this to make it more unique?”

Jiang Xuecheng bent down and looked at Su Wan’s fair and exquisite face. Why did he feel his position in his wife’s heart could not even compete with a little proposal?

When this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Xuecheng smiled and shook his head. He had not expected himself to change after marrying Su Wan…

When Jiang Xuecheng shook his head, Su Wan was stupefied. She blinked her eyes. “Xuecheng, you have no inspiration too?”

In the blink of an eye, the man’s handsome facial features came close to her.

Su Wan was stunned. Jiang Xuecheng pulled her up from her crouching position and her slender body fell right into his embrace.

Weren’t they discussing about the design of the hot spring hotel just now?

Why did Su Wan feel as if the atmosphere was strange…?
