“Wipe yourself dry. Good, good.” Qiao Sisi grinned and walked quickly into the kitchen.

As she entered the kitchen, she could hear his deep laughter in the living room.

Qiao Sisi could not be bothered with so much and started to cook. The ingredients in the kitchen were very complete, and she just had to put her culinary skills to work.

As she had been independent since she was young, she naturally knew the essentials of cooking.

The sound of cooking went on for about an hour. Soon the table was set with dishes of various colors, aromas, and flavors.

Qiao Sisi removed her apron and took out two pairs of cutlery.

Dinner began quietly. Zheng Zeyi had good table manners. As he ate, he praised her culinary skills.

“By the way, Zheng Zeyi, how did you find evidence of Zeng Qing’s plagiarism?” Qiao Sisi broke the silence.

Her cheeks were stuffed with food and she could not speak clearly.

Zheng Ze looked up and smiled. “Why do you want to know?”

Hearing this, Qiao Sisi’s interest was diminished as she pursed her lips. “Forget it if you don’t want to tell me.”

It was not that she had to know. She was just curious about how it happened in such a short time.

Zeng Qing looked harmless on the surface, but he was worse than a beast. Qiao Sisi was well aware of this. After all, she had been slandered by this person before.

......

Zeng Qing would have been very careful with something as serious as plagiarism. She did not expect Zheng Zeyi to obtain the evidence so quickly.

Zheng Zeyi picked up an egg and said calmly, “If we do something, we inevitably leave some evidence behind.”

“That’s true. I have to thank you.” Qiao Sisi stopped eating and thanked him sincerely with a serious expression.

If not for his help, today’s matter would not have ended so easily, and Zeng Qing would not have been jailed.

Zheng Zeyi chuckled and began his routine. “I helped you with such a big favor. How are you going to thank me?”

“Thank you… Young Master Zheng, look at me—I am poor and have nothing to give you.” Qiao Sisi blinked.

“You do.”

Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows curiously. “Huh?”

She did not know what else she could use as a gift.

“Don’t you think giving yourself to me is a good choice?” Zheng Zeyi smiled.

A trap!

Qiao Sisi cursed his shamelessness in her heart, but of course, she did not dare to say it out loud. After all, he was the one who sent her to Jinyu, so she had to put on a show.

“No, no, no. How am I worthy of Young Master Zheng? You must be joking.” Qiao Sisi waved her hand and gave a fake smile.

The two of them exchanged verbal blows like they were playing Taiji.

The meal ended quickly, and the sky had completely darkened. The dark sky was dotted with stars that emitted weak light.

Qiao Sisi was wearing pajamas. She placed her hands on the edge of the balcony and looked up at the sky.

It had to be said that the apartment Zheng Zeyi chose was in a very good location. The night view was excellent and the gentle breeze felt good.

“A vast sky full of stars…”

Qiao Sisi could not help but murmur. She recalled the design draft of the ‘Starry Sky’ series of jewelry she had seen today and felt her heart burn.

One day when the jewelry I design are listed for sale, they could also become a scenery in the eyes of others…

Looking at the sky, a glimmer of inspiration flashed across Qiao Sisi’s mind. She thought for a while but could not seem to pin down her ideas.

No, I have to write them down.?Qiao Sisi smiled. She thought of a name that might be suitable for her jewelry series.

Deep sea.

After returning to her room, Qiao Sisi took out a few sheets of sketching paper and began to make rough sketches according to what was on her mind.

She was so engrossed that when Zheng Zeyi opened the door and leaned against it to watch her sketch, she did not even notice.

However, Zheng Zeyi did not stay for long. He watched for a while before returning to his room.

On the other hand, Qiao Sisi could not stop her muse and only fell asleep late at night.

The night was peaceful.

The sun had just risen in the morning.

As it was officially her first day at work, Qiao Sisi woke up early and made two sets of breakfast.

After eating her portion, she was about to rush to the office when she bumped into Zheng Zeyi, who had woken up.

He was wearing a sleeping robe. A few strands of his hair were sticking up. There was a smile in his eyes, which made him look outstanding.

“Morning, Young Master Zheng.” Qiao Sisi was in a good mood.

Zheng Zeyi nodded and sat down to eat. His every move was dignified and elegant.

Qiao Sisi’s lips twitched. She was really good at pretending.

“I’ll get going first, Young Master Zheng.”

After saying that, without waiting for Zheng Zeyi to reply, Qiao Sisi left the apartment in a hurry and took the public bus to the office.

When she arrived at the office, it was already 8 am.

“Morning, Sister Li.” Qiao Sisi had just entered the company when she saw Li Man. She smiled and greeted her.

“Morning, Sisi. How was your review of the design drafts yesterday?” Li Man asked.

As she had just arrived at the office yesterday, it was normal to familiarize herself with the design drafts.

Once that is done, she could start arranging other tasks. After all, jewelry designers had a lot to learn.

Qiao Sisi thought for a moment and said, “Sister Li, I’m almost done.”

She had basically finished reading the drafts from yesterday and was not lying.

Lee Man was slightly surprised, but she did not say anything. She led Qiao Sisi to an empty office.

The office was not big, but there were many shelves that resembled bookshelves. There were many drafts placed there, and they were a little messy.

“Sister Li, what do I need to do?” Qiao Sisi asked, some thoughts arising in her heart.

As expected, newbies needed to undergo training. They could not start designing jewelry officially at once.

Li Man pointed at these drafts and said, “Organize the design drafts in this room over the next few days and put them in files.”

After she gave a rough introduction of the workflow, Qiao Sisi understood.

These were tasks for newbies who had yet to do the actual design work. She was already prepared for this.

After Li Man went to work, only Qiao Sisi was left in the office.

To be honest, she quite liked going through these design drafts.

Although they belonged to other people, she could learn a lot from them and even gain some inspiration.

An hour later…

I take back my thoughts. Qiao Sisi looked up at the sky.

There were simply too many design drafts. They were in a mess and the entire office had at least tens of thousands of them.

It was indeed a little tiring to find, categorize, and classify them, and then organize the shelves.

Qiao Sisi continued to be on her feet. She picked up a stack of design drafts from the floor and placed them on the table. She selected one category and placed the drafts in a file.

The morning passed and she had less than 10% of the work done.

During lunch break, Qiao Sisi temporarily put down her design drafts and went to the company’s cafeteria for lunch.
