BXBX NOVEL Chapter 40 - 40 You Seem to Be Very Dissatisfied with Me i
“So you’re saying the total prize money for this year has been multiplied by five?”
“Yes.”
“How many awards are there?”
“There are five places, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will all be awarded.”
“What do you mean?” Hai Xiaotang asked, puzzled.
Ji Chuan explained smilingly, “This means that not everyone in the top five will get an award. The design must be approved by the president. If the president doesn’t approve any designs, then there will be no winners.”
No wonder the prize money was so high with such strict rules.
“Why is the prize money unusually high this time?” Hai Xiaotang continued to ask curiously.
Dongfang Yu glanced at her. Was she asking too many questions?
But Hai Xiaotang did not notice his look at all.
Ji Chuan answered, “Because our company is bidding for a project in New York this year. This project is very important to us.”
Hai Xiaotang was taken aback—
She seemed to remember now.
Dongfang Yu had gone to New York on a business trip this year in her previous life, and he was away for quite a long time.
And he had taken Lin Xinxin with him.
At first, she didn’t know. Only later, when their company was successful in the bidding in New York, and the building designed by Dongfang Yu as the chief designer received high praise and acclaim, and was widely reported by the media, did she learn about it.
The report had the list of those who participated in the design, and Lin Xinxin’s name was there.
Once she found out, she naturally had a big quarrel with Dongfang Yu.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t want to recall her past life’s experiences, she could only sigh that Dongfang Yu and Lin Xinxin were really perfect for each other.
They were both so talented, and she was just pathetically bad.
So, it would be better to get this marriage over with earlier, to avoid being constantly annoyed at seeing those two together.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t ask any more questions and continued eating quietly.
Dongfang Yu had finished eating and put down his chopsticks, instructing Ji Chuan, “You may leave now.”
“Yes.” Ji Chuan nodded and left with respect, leaving only the two of them in the office.
Hai Xiaotang also put down her bowl and chopsticks, “I’ve finished eating, 1’11 leave right away. 1 won’t bother your work.”
She tidily packed her things without even looking at him once.
Dongfang Yu was casually leaning against the leather sofa, scrutinizing her with his gaze, “You seem very displeased with me.”
Hai Xiaotang looked at him, forcing a smile, “That’s absolutely not an illusion!”
“…” Dongfang Yu smirked, “What are you dissatisfied with?”
“Eating with you is just off-putting.”
“What did you say?” The man’s voice had suddenly turned a few degrees colder.
But Hai Xiaotang was not afraid of him, “Eating with you and having to watch you work, it’s off-putting!”
“Yet, you seem more interested in this off-putting job of mine.”
“I am only curious about the prize money!”
Dongfang Yu scoffed, “The heiress of the Hai family, interested in such a small amount of money? Well, with only a small allowance each month, of course, you would not have any savings.”
Hai Xiaotang’s hand, packing her things, stopped abruptly—
Dongfang Yu’s words felt like a slap in the face, harshly ridiculing her.
Yes, she didn’t have much savings.
Despite coming from a good family and having a fairly good marriage, she only got a small allowance each month.
Her grandfather gave her ten thousand yuan a month, and Dongfang Yu also gave her a fixed amount of twenty thousand. These thirty thousand yuan was her pocket money.
Apart from her monthly fixed allowance of thirty thousand, she had no other income.
And she had no skills to earn money either.
Even her studies were neglected in the pursuit of Dongfang Yu…
On second thoughts, it seemed like she was useless, absolutely no match for Lin Xinxin..
