In the interview room, Tang Mo’er had spotted Gu Mohan at first glance. He was seated right in the middle of the panel of interviewers.

He didn’t lift his eyes to look over at her, but rather, his head was lowered and he was focused on looking through the design sketches.

Tang Mo’er was a little dejected, but she straightened her back and gathered her confidence. She needed to nail this interview.

“Miss Tang, please have a seat.”

Tang Mo’er sat down and the clerk submitted her design sketch to the panel of interviewers. The higher-ups were all pretty satisfied with her design, they nodded their heads in approval and handed the design sketch over to Gu Mohan for him to have a look.

“Miss Tang, we’ve just taken a look at your design. May I know where you get your design inspiration from?” a higher-up asked.

Tang Mo’er gave it some thought before replying, “I…”

“This is your design?” A magnetic voice resounded in her ears, interrupting her answer. Tang Mo’er rapidly lifted her head, glancing at Gu Mohan.

Gu Mohan narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on her ravishing beauty. “This is your design? It’s totally subpar, so mainstream yet tacky. How dare you even apply for the position of an interning designer at the Gu Corporation?”

Mainstream yet tacky.

How dare she.

Color drained from Tang Mo’er’s face, she looked at Gu Mohan in shock.

The other higher-ups were also observing Gu Mohan, not daring to utter a single word. But they just couldn’t figure out, why did President even use such strong words? Was her design that bad in his eyes?

Gu Mohan narrowed his eyes and gave a cynical laugh, he picked up her design and continued, “We have many capable candidates applying to join us here. With your standards, you’re just here to fill the vacancy though you’re don’t have the capabilities to perform well. I’ll give you a piece of advice, you should put in more effort in improving your designs instead of using unscrupulous ways and trying to take shortcuts.”

He then let go of the sketch and with a gust of wind, her sketch flew up in mid-air. He announced ruthlessly, “Miss Tang, you don’t make the cut. Don’t appear before me ever again.”

Don’t appear before me ever again.

His words were repeatedly played over in Tang Mo’er’s ear, putting her into a light trance.

A greater gust of wind blew her sketch out of the windows.

Her sketch!

Tang Mo’er quickly got up and ran outside.

Once Tang Mo’er left, the atmosphere in the interview room plummeted to an icy coldness. Gu Mohan didn’t seem to be happy, his facial muscles were tense and gloomy.

One of the interviewers asked, “President, why did you say that? Though Miss Tang’s design is a little amateurish, it is creative and quite novel. We’ve interviewed many candidates and she has the best design by far.”

Before the interviewer could even finish his words, he could sense Gu Mohan giving him a cold-eyed stare.

The interviewers quickly learned to shut up and gulped.

Gu Mohan stood up. “I’m leaving first. The rest of you can interview the rest of the candidates.”

He then stretched out his long legs and left.

President’s office.

Gu Mohan pushed the door open and entered his office, making his way in front of the windows. He looked downstairs.

Along the busy streets downstairs, Tang Mo’er had chased outside of the building, hoping to get her design sketch back.

The sketch had drifted through the wind and ended up opposite the street, she sprinted over with all of her might in order to get her sketch back.

There was a loud screech as the brakes were activated, it turned out that a vehicle had almost knocked into Tang Mo’er. The driver wound down his window and started scolding her, “Hey, are you blind?! Why aren’t you looking out for cars while crossing the road, are you courting death?”

“Sorry, I’m really sorry.” Tang Mo’er apologized twice before crossing the road in a hurry.

By now, the design sketch was already filthy and run over by car tires. Tang Mo’er squatted down and picked up her sketch with her dainty fingers.

This was her first jewelry design sketch ever, but he had criticized her so badly, that her design was devoid of any merit.

She was aware of his silver tongue but it was her first time trying it out for herself. She wasn’t dumb and could tell that he was being sarcastic and humiliating her with his words.

He had announced that she didn’t make the cut.

He wanted her to never appear before him ever again.

Tang Mo’er’s eyes were instantly red and watery, her eyelashes fluttered like delicate butterfly wings as she lifted her head, looking at the windows of his office on the opposite building.

This was the company her mother had founded, she really wished that she could perform well in jewelry design and continue her mother’s legacy, but she didn’t have any confidence in herself. This was the first time she had tried jewelry design in the 21 years of her life. She was really nervous and didn’t know what to expect. He didn’t need to do anything for her, her only wish was for him to give her some words of encouragement, to cheer her on.

It was such an important milestone in her life and he had missed it.

Gu Mohan noticed that Tang Mo’er was looking in his direction though she was very far away from him. He blamed himself for having perfect vision at that moment. He was able to see that she was teary-eyed and truly pitiful.

He turned around and stood in front of his desk, wanting to ignore her.

She must have been confident that he would fall for her tricks right?

He removed his blazer and threw it on the desk. How could this girl whom he didn’t know for long affect him so much?

It didn’t help with his condition even after he had chased her away.

He wanted to bury himself in work so that he could distract himself. He wanted to forget about her but when he picked up a document, there was a magazine right beside it and he spotted her winsome face on the cover of it.

It was an old pictorial of Tang Mo’er’s. She was dressed in a retro outfit with light makeup on. She was blowing bubbles and laughing while posing for the camera.

He stretched out his thumb and ran it over her eyes.

Her eyes were beautiful, as though they were able to convey words and one couldn’t help but fall for her.

He flipped open the magazine and noticed she had filled the pages. Though she had already left the entertainment industry for quite a long time, she still had a great following of a hundred million followers. She didn’t need to be active in the industry to stay relevant, her legend was already ingrained.

The magazine was filled with her photographs, be it paparazzi shots or official press released photographs. Fans were crazy over emulating her look and any piece of clothing that she wore would often become a sensation and get sold out in no time.

Netizens had even given her the title of the “Queen Who Causes A Shopping Frenzy”.

Gu Mohan recalled the outfit she was sporting today. It was a simple yet refreshing look. A white knit sweater with black, slim-fit pants and a denim belt, she was indescribably attractive.

She had great fashion sense, even a simple look like that could bring out her beauty. Indeed, she was a charming woman who knew how to make her beauty stand out.

Someone knocked on the door, it was Jun Xiyan.

“Come in.”

Jun Xiyan entered his office and walked in front of him and smiled beautifully. “I heard about someone lashing out at a girl today. Mohan, you’re not being like your usual self. Where’s your gentlemanly manner?”

Gu Mohan pursed his lips. “Who told you that?”

Jun Xiyan had placed a design sketch on his desk. “I’ve taken a look at it, although Tang Mo’er is inexperienced and amateurish, it is a novel design. She has great potential and even the top student that the A University is recommending to us, Li Fei’fei, is miles beneath her. All Tang Mo’er needs is some time and encouragement.”
