Chapter 1818: Mistaken for a Test Subject

"Other things can be put aside; do this first. The fee the other party is offering is this much."

As he spoke, the director held up two fingers.

Wei Yangyang guessed, "20,000?"

"No, 200,000!"

This number made Wei Yangyang full of energy: "I guarantee I will make the design draft perfect!"

Wei Yangyang rolled up her sleeves and got to work.

Other colleagues asked enviously, "Director, why didn't you introduce this good opportunity to us?"

"Exactly, let us share the burden with Yangyang."

To prevent everyone from having any ideas, the director immediately explained, "I didn't arrange this; the client specifically requested Yangyang to design it."

"Requested by the client? It seems Yangyang's reputation has already spread."

"Building a reputation at such a young age, Yangyang has a promising future!"

Hearing her colleagues' words, Wei Yangyang said, "Please don't tease me; I've just been taking on more orders lately."

"You haven't been working long, yet you've achieved this much—it's already very impressive. But you must balance work and rest; look at you lately, you've even developed dark circles."

Wei Yangyang had indeed been working very hard lately, but as for resting...

She sighed, "I want to rest more too, but there isn't enough time."

"Your family is already very wealthy, why work so hard? Wouldn't it be nice to be a pampered young lady?"

Once, Wei Yangyang also felt that would be very nice.

But now...

In order to be a match for that outstanding man, Wei Yangyang must make herself outstanding enough as well!

Thinking of Deng Yunhai, Wei Yangyang's mood was a bit stirred.

At the same time, she curled the corners of her mouth and replied, "My family's wealth is my family's business; I want to forge my own career!"

The others did not know Wei Yangyang's little thoughts.

Everyone just felt this young woman was smart and motivated, and worthy of admiration.

As for Wei Yangyang herself...

She was full of drive and spent two days finishing the first version of the design.

Wei Yangyang originally wanted to communicate with the client.

But the client wanted her to come to the new house so both sides could meet and talk.

This wasn't some bizarre request, so Wei Yangyang agreed.

The client's house was located in a villa area.

The housing prices here were jaw-droppingly expensive, but the environment was also as good as a 5A scenic spot.

When Wei Yangyang arrived, the villa gate was already open.

She called out inside, "Hello, I am your designer, Wei Yangyang!"

After the words fell, no one responded from within.

But Wei Yangyang knew the owner of the house must have already arrived.

It's just, what was the situation with not making a sound? Did they not hear?

Wei Yangyang decided to go in and take a look.

She walked into the villa step by step; because she was wearing high heels, the heels clicked against the tiles, making a rhythmic "thump-thump" sound.

This house was too empty, and the sound of her heels on the tiles even produced an echo...

Wei Yangyang couldn't help but swallow.

She just felt that this place... was strange.

Suddenly, Wei Yangyang caught a glimpse of a figure in her peripheral vision!

She turned her head abruptly and saw...

Li Xingyan!?

This discovery made Wei Yangyang go stiff all over; she couldn't even speak.

Li Xingyan frowned again.

He said with disdain, "Are you this foolish at work too? Like this, how can you make others trust you?"

This familiar tone of disdain made Wei Yangyang want to roll her eyes!

Fortunately, she held it back and asked sullenly, "You came here, surely not just to lecture me?"

"I came here? It is clearly you who came to my place."

These words were a bit convoluted; Wei Yangyang thought for a moment...

She widened her eyes and asked, "This house is yours?"

"Yes."

"And you were the one who asked me to design it?"

Li Xingyan wanted to open his mouth to admit it.

But he suddenly changed his mind: "I didn't know the designer was you; my assistant has always been in charge of matters here."

The assistant had also followed Li Xingyan here today.

Originally, he was still in a state of watching the show.

Suddenly hearing his boss mention his name, the assistant knew: he was just a brick, to be moved wherever needed!

Discovering Wei Yangyang looking over suspiciously, the assistant still had to smile and nod to indicate that the boss was right!

Wei Yangyang looked at the assistant, then looked at Li Xingyan, and always felt...

Something is fishy!

In a flash, she also suddenly remembered the last time at the Water Park, she and Li Xingyan had an unpleasant falling out...

So this situation right now might very well be something Li Xingyan intentionally designed!

The goal is to retaliate against Wei Yangyang!

If that is really the case, then it is going to be troublesome...

Wei Yangyang began to let her imagination run wild.

Li Xingyan spoke impatiently: "I am paying you to do design work, not for you to come here and perform staring into space!"

Because she was thinking so intently, Wei Yangyang's shoulders gave a start, frightened by the voice that suddenly popped out from Li Xingyan.

Then she hurriedly took out the design blueprints to begin her presentation.

Watching Wei Yangyang's cautious and timid appearance, the assistant could not help but feel a sense of sympathy.

He could not understand why the boss, for no good reason, would come to find trouble with a girl?

That's right, Li Xingyan's state was exactly that of someone looking for trouble!

The assistant could already foresee that once the girl finished her presentation, the boss would definitely find a pile of problems.

First, he would belittle the design until it was worthless, then he would insult the girl until she couldn't even lift her head.

In the end...

This girl would definitely cry!

On the assistant's side, he secretly reached this conclusion.

As for Wei Yangyang, because of her nervousness, she stuttered and made mistakes when she first started the presentation.

But after slowly getting into the zone, Wei Yangyang displayed a different side of herself in front of Li Xingyan.

At this moment, she was very confident and also very composed.

Even someone as picky as Li Xingyan could not find any faults.

After finishing the entire presentation, Wei Yangyang asked apprehensively: "What do you think? Do you have any other opinions?"

"Regarding the design aspect, I have no opinions."

Once these words were spoken, the assistant was stunned.

Wei Yangyang was also stunned!

She felt the surprise had come too suddenly.

But before Wei Yangyang could even get happy, Li Xingyan added another sentence: "I have a recording I want you to listen to."

After saying this, Li Xingyan didn't even give Wei Yangyang a chance to refuse before he tapped on an audio file.

Afterward, a man's voice came out.

That was precisely the content of the conversation between Deng Yunhai and the old man!

The content within it left Wei Yangyang with a blank expression.

Her pupils did not even move.

The luster gradually faded from her large eyes...

After listening to it all, Wei Yangyang suddenly snapped back to reality.

Then she said with certainty: "Where did you get this synthetic audio from? How boring!"

Li Xingyan did not give her a chance to evade, opening his mouth to say: "Stop deceiving yourself. The situation is already very clear now; Deng Yunhai is just using you for an experiment!"

"That's not true, I trust him!"

"You would rather believe sweet talk than believe the evidence? Let me tell you, I have tried that app he mentioned; when you input the words you said, what pops out is exactly the content he said to you!"

"No, you are lying!"

"My assistant is right here beside me, and he can also testify!"

The assistant bit the bullet, preparing to speak.
