Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 287 - 300: Privilege

Therefore, she must not back down under any circumstances.

Zhuang Heng composed herself, adopting her most composed demeanor facing Su Xingyu: "Even if you scold me, it doesn’t change the fact that my set of photos is better than yours. Want to get into promotions? Throwing a fit won’t help."

With a few words, she pinned Su Xingyu in the position of being unreasonable.

Su Xingyu was simply astonished by Zhuang Heng’s audacity; people who could reverse the truth and be so shamelessly bold were not common.

She turned her head to ask Mr. Yang, "What do you have to say?"

Mr. Yang looked embarrassed, with a subtle sweat on his forehead, unsure how to handle the dispute between these two girls.

He wished he could slap himself for being so reckless, having settled on Zhuang Heng before Su Xingyu submitted her work.

No matter if he overturned the previous decision or not, it would offend someone too much.

While he hesitated here, Yun Xi over there was eager to make a show, seizing the opportunity to mock Su Xingyu: "Why are you pressuring Mr. Yang? Are you bullying people relying on your relationship with Mr. Lu? Heh, Mr. Lu’s girlfriend, how mighty and impressive! Who knows how many days a ’girlfriend’ like you will last? Don’t end up being dumped by Mr. Lu and become a laughingstock!"

Her words were extremely harsh, and Su Xingyu glanced at her coldly, exuding a faintly murderous aura.

Yun Xi was startled into silence; her gaze... was terrifying!

"Mr. Yang, I won’t make things difficult for you." In front of everyone, she looked directly at Mr. Yang, articulating each word clearly, "For the promotional photos, use Zhuang Heng’s. As for my set of photos, I will handle them myself."

Mr. Yang let out a big sigh of relief, as long as Su Xingyu did not make things difficult for him, he wouldn’t mind whatever she decided to do with her photos.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he flashed a grin at Su Xingyu: "Okay, okay, you’re really sensible; do as you please with the photos, do as you please."

Su Xingyu’s clear and bright eyes scanned all those present in the office, picked up her things, and turned to leave.

The office was very quiet, everyone watching her back with mixed feelings.

Fang Luohua felt a bit uneasy, saying to Mr. Yang: "Wouldn’t this be a bit inappropriate? Xingyu seems... rather unhappy."

Mr. Yang certainly knew that the current approach was to Su Xingyu’s detriment, but since things had come to this, he could only sigh deeply.

Yun Xi however, sneered dismissively: "Unhappy? She should be unhappy! Really, she doesn’t even look in the mirror, what is she, and yet she dares to contest Miss Zhuang!"

A few intermittent laughs came in agreement, but more people remained silent.

Not to mention that Su Xingyu had been getting on well with everyone lately, just the fact that she had a relationship with Lu Shifeng meant no one would be wise to openly provoke her.

Even Mr. Yang gave Yun Xi a complicated look; on one hand, he admired her courage to take a clear stand, but on the other, he vaguely worried that if, in the end, the one who married into the Lu Family wasn’t Miss Zhuang but Su Xingyu, what then? This Yun Xi might see the end of her career trajectory at Blade Group.

Anyway, until the situation became clear, the best approach was still to wait and see, to remain cautious and preserve oneself.

Su Xingyu stormed out of Blade Headquarters, standing on the bustling street, simmering with anger.

She understood Mr. Yang; in the workplace, there are many things beyond one’s control, and it’s understandable not wanting to offend Zhuang Heng.

But this incident made her extremely angry, added to Lu Shifeng’s orders; if she did not accomplish his directives within a month, she did not know what fate awaited the Qin Family.

The entire family’s future was in her hands.

Even though some people in that family had treated her unfavorably, there were still those who had been kind to her, as well as innocent ones.

Su Xingyu sighed, lightly clenched her fist by her side, looked up, saw Cloud Magazine across the street, and walked in.

Ling Weilong was there.

Seeing her, he exaggeratedly called out from afar: "Xingyu, Xingyu! You really have no occasion to visit without good reason, what brings you here today?"

"Not here to see you." Seeing a friend she hadn’t seen in days, she managed to feel slightly better, smiled a little, and asked, "Is Cang Er here?"

"You’re actually here to see Cang Er?" Ling Weilong exclaimed exaggeratedly, "She’s in, but not so easy to see, do you have an appointment?"

Su Xingyu shook her head: "I’m here on a sudden visit today."

"Alright then, I’ll go with you," Ling Weilong naturally walked to her side, leading her to Cang Er’s office, "You really are something, wanting to see her you should’ve scheduled an appointment earlier; that female boss is busy as hell every day, if she can’t find time to see you, wouldn’t you have made the trip for nothing? By the way, what’s it about?"

"Work-related." Su Xingyu replied simply, calculating her thoughts as she walked.

"Business, huh?" Ling Weilong scratched his head; Cang Er, being the editor-in-chief of Cloud’s Asia-Pacific region, many people wanted to pull family strings to talk about collaboration projects. Though he knew Su Xingyu probably had some personal connection with her, it was hard to say if the relationship was strong enough for Cang Er to be willing to do something for her. "Let me remind you, Cang Er isn’t the type swayed by personal relationships; when talking, stay sharp, and analyze the project advantages for her..."

He was like a mother hen chattering away, protecting her brood.

Su Xingyu didn’t really listen, immersing herself in verifying her plan again. Before she even finished, she was already at Cang Er’s office door.

She donned a gentle smile, walked up, and said to the girl at the secretary desk, "Hello, is Cang Er available now? I’m Su Xingyu from Blade Group, and I have something I’d like to discuss with her."

Su Xingyu from Blade Group?

The name seemed somewhat familiar.

The girl gave her an extra look. Sure enough, just as Ling Weilong predicted, she asked if she had an appointment. Upon finding she hadn’t, she replied half-heartedly, "The chief editor is unavailable now."

Su Xingyu stayed patient: "I have something very important..."

"Xiao Wang, don’t dawdle, go report it," Without waiting for Su Xingyu to finish, Ling Weilong interrupted, turning to the secretary desk girl, "Didn’t you hear clearly? Su Xingyu from Blade Group, you just heard, right? Mr. Lu’s girlfriend from the big group across the street! What, are you fresh from Mars? Haven’t you been reading the news?"

"Ah?!" The girl at the secretary’s desk was startled, suddenly recalling why the name Su Xingyu sounded familiar! "Sorry, sorry, I didn’t know you were Mr. Lu’s girlfriend," the girl’s attitude immediately shifted 180 degrees, standing and bowing continually in apology, "Miss Su, please hold on, I’ll go report it right now."

With that, she quickly headed toward Cang Er’s office.

Su Xingyu: "..."

Ling Weilong scoffed at her, "Silly as ever, having a privilege yet choosing to face rejection. A hundred names of Su Xingyu don’t outdo being Lu Shifeng’s girlfriend!"
