Chapter 143 I’m destined to lose to you
The secretary walked up to Lin Ting with a lunch: "Ms. Lin, it's lunch time now. Are you hungry too? I ordered an extra meal for you today."
Lin Ting looked at the beautifully packaged lunch.
"I'm not hungry, thank you."
Lin Ting declined. She was not an employee of the Jiang Group and had no reason to eat their food, even if she ordered an extra portion.
"The merchant won't let you return this extra meal. It would be a waste if you don't eat it and throw it away. Why don't you open it first and take a look. Maybe there is something you like?"
The secretary is very enthusiastic.
The more she acted like this, the more Lin Ting felt there was something fishy about it.
"No thanks."
The secretary felt troubled when she saw that Lin Ting refused to eat.
This is what their boss, Mr. Jiang, told him personally, and he ordered the dishes with such care. If she didn't eat it, wouldn't she be letting Mr. Jiang down in vain?
"Just do me a favor."
The secretary squatted in front of the coffee table and opened the lunch boxes one by one.
"Today's dishes are really rich, including stir-fried yellow beef, braised prawns, stir-fried broccoli, and tomato, luffa, and egg drop soup. Is there really nothing that Miss Lin likes?"
Lin Ting looked at the sumptuous meal.
Every dish is her favorite, even the egg drop in the tomato, loofah and egg drop soup is very beaten.
This soup was made by Jiang Yu when she and Jiang Yu were so poor that they could only scrape together 5 yuan. Jiang Yu made a hodgepodge of the only ingredients available. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be surprisingly delicious, appetizing and delicious, so it became a natural choice. One of her must-order menu items.
After she broke up with Jiang Yu, she never drank this soup again.
"Ms. Lin? Would you like to try it?"
The secretary handed the chopsticks to her, and Lin Ting was pulled back from her thoughts.
"I'm really not hungry, thank you."
Before she saw the soup, she might still eat it, and simply believe that it was just an extra lunch the secretary ordered, and it was only given out of kindness to her.
But after seeing the soup, she was convinced that Jiang Yu ordered this lunch specially for her.
"Ok."
The secretary packed up the lunch box in despair, returned to his work station, and called Jiang Yu.
"Ms. Lin said she wasn't hungry and didn't eat."
"I see."
Jiang Yu stood quietly in front of the glass wall, his dark eyes covered with a layer of haze, staring at Lin Ting, his whole body seemed to be pressed into the cold deep sea, and his heart felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed.
"Are you so unwilling to owe me anything?"
He pulled down the blinds and stopped looking at her. He returned to the chair in front of his desk and sat down. He put down a document and wanted to numb himself with busy work and not think about her.
But the words on the document, as if by magic, all automatically combined into Lin Ting's name.
Her eyes, her smile, her angry look.
No matter how hard he forced himself not to think about her, she still grew like grass in his mind.
He pushed the document irritably and leaned heavily on his seat.
He raised his hand and frowned, and sighed: "Lin Ting, I am destined to lose to you."
He got up and rang the call bell.
"Let her in."
"Yes, President Jiang."
The secretary put down the phone and walked up to Lin Ting: "Ms. Lin, you can go in."
"Thank you."
Lin Ting took the contract and pushed open the door of Jiang Yu's office.
He placed his hands clasped together in front of the table. There was no emotion or anger on his face, and his eyes revealed calmness and silence.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Liu has signed and stamped the contract. This one belongs to your company."
"Well, put it on the table."
Lin Ting put down the contract and moved the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, with a cynical look in his eyes.
"Miss Lin, is there anything else?"
"Well, last night at the Sheraton, I said you did one thing to my face and another behind my back. I thought you were deliberately making things difficult for me and playing tricks on me, while you were secretly promoting the signing of a contract with Romario. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you on this matter. I apologize to you."
Lin Ting's attitude was very sincere.
Jiang Yu's fingers trembled slightly, a wave of confusion flashed quickly in his eyes, and then he pretended to be disdainful.
"Actually, it's not all a misunderstanding."
"Ok?"
"Although I really didn't think about giving this project to Romario, it's true that I deliberately made things difficult for you and played with you. After all, who made you my first love? I don't need to take more care of you."
He looked mean.
It was obviously a well-intentioned guidance, but it was awkward to say that it was deliberately making things difficult.
"You!" Lin Ting was instantly angered by her.
He always knew what to say, and Lin Ting was the most irritated, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, expecting Lin Ting to be angry.
Unexpectedly, she actually suppressed this anger.
"Although the process was not smooth, you still gave me this project anyway. Although I don't want to admit it, the revision comments you made to my design draft were very professional and not deliberately making things difficult as you said. But I don’t want to owe you anything, so I will tell Mr. Liu to withdraw from this project.”
After hearing this, Lin turned around and prepared to leave.
"I didn't expect Miss Lin to be so unprofessional."
Lin Ting turned around, looking puzzled.
"I don't know what you mean."
"You quit this project because you think I gave this project to you to take this opportunity to have more contact with you?"
Lin Ting remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Jiang Yu suddenly laughed, which made Lin Ting feel guilty.
"In five years, I was able to develop Jiang's from a small business to a public company. Do you think I would be so unprofessional?
The reason why I chose Ronal Ceramics is because of his brand strength. I asked you to serve as the chief designer because of your design talent. "
Lin Ting was still a little skeptical.
Jiang Yu continued to add: "The design draft you sent me was indeed a bit beyond my expectation. I didn't expect you to use taste to express summer. The color combination of sea salt and lychee is very beautiful and creative. novel."
He praised without hesitation.
Lin Ting was a little unconvinced. She said before that the things he designed were ordinary and the plans looked like shit with gold rims. Today he praised her again.
Lin Ting was a little confused as to which of his words was true and which was false.
"Lin Ting, are you so unsure of your work?"
"Of course not. I believe in my own abilities and even more in my works."
As a designer, the most important thing is a sense of belief. Anyone can despise her work, except herself.
It was designed with her heart, and behind every design is her dedication and hard work.
"Do you still want to quit the project now?"
Lin Ting hesitated.
Half of it is excitement, and half of it is worry.
Being able to cooperate with Jiang Group is an opportunity that every unknown small designer like her dreams of.
As long as she nods, her works will appear on major platforms at next quarter's ceramics conference, and will be given the right to be signed, and more people will recognize Lin Ting.
Her original designs will be seen by more people, and she will be one step closer to her ceramic dream.
"I……"
"I can tell you clearly that the reason why I really decided to sign a contract with Ronald was you."
Lin Ting raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yu.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
