Bet and Challenge

"I made money, and I still have to explain myself to you? It's none of your business!"

Tang Jidong spat on the ground, but his acting was really bad. Bailu suddenly realized what was going on. 

It turned out that Elina had secretly been in contact with her gambling addict stepfather. She was the one who asked Tang Jidong to deliberately act like a scoundrel the last time. She wanted him to throw a tantrum in the company and embarrass himself, so that Bailu will look like a fool. 

When her box disappeared, Elina had prepared an alibi and even announced it confidently. Therefore, there must have been a second person who helped her to steal Bailu's box.

It was obvious who that person was. It must be Tang Jidong, who had been to the company once and had received a large sum of money from Elina!

"How could she give you such a large sum of money?"

Bailu had a hunch that something was wrong.

Elina was indeed a wealthy elite, but her daily access to high-end restaurants and change of brand names was not normal. Her expenditure and luxurious life were definitely not something that she, as the vice-leader of Aroman's research and development team, could afford.

Tang Jidong jumped into his new car. He was feeling pleased with himself. He did not care to admit the deal he made with Elina. 

"Anyway, can't I just take the money? Who cares? Goodbye, silly daughter. Remember to give me more money next time!"

He was so shameless. Bailu looked at the car leaving and went back to comfort Chen Li. She told her mother to never give her hard-earned money to Tang Jidong again.

She installed a fingerprint lock to prevent Tang Jidong from barging in. Only then did she leave with peace of mind. She then headed over to the company.

Bailu really wanted to confront Elina directly and make her confess to all the dirty things that she had done.

However, she did not have any concrete evidence to prove her guess, so she could only remain calm and let her be pleased for a little while longer.

Elina was certain that Bailu was in a bad mood because she had lost her treasure box. She did not know what method she used to get into the qualifier and planned to take advantage of it.

Without waiting for Bailu to settle the score with her, she challenged Bailu openly. 

"Let's make a bet in front of everyone. If your ranking in this year's new talent competition is higher than mine, I am willing to prepare a private luxury workshop for you and four of your assistants."

She widened her eyes and continued to speak, "If you lose... Then you are not allowed to make perfumes in the future. You must be willing to change shifts and you can only be my assistant!"

She believed that the current Bailu had no time to make another excellent work. Otherwise, she would not have been running around outside. She did not spend much time in the company. 

Elina on the other hand planned on using all the talent that she had accumulated over the years to give Bailu a hard slap on the face. It would become a springboard for her to officially become a perfumer.

She wanted to prove herself. She also wanted President Jiang to know that she was the most outstanding female perfumer in the company.

Unfortunately, Elina's bets, such as the luxurious workshop and assistants, were not attractive to Bailu.

"I don't need those. I need you to agree to one request of mine."

Bailu was wearing a white dress, and her eyes were burning.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Elina was not going to be timid. On the contrary, she was smug because she had fallen into her trap. 

Under everyone's probing gazes, Bailu turned around and walked into the workshop.

When she opened the door, she fell into a warm embrace.

Jiang Shaomin locked the door and pressed her against it. He held her little face and kissed her deeply for a while before letting go reluctantly.

Ever since the two of them had communicated with each other and made love on the luxurious and soft bed, their relationship had been set in stone.

However, Bailu asked him to keep their relationship a secret.

She was already in the center of the public's eye, and because of Jiang Shaomin's bias, she had gained a lot of hate points.

If people knew that she had already taken Jiang Shaomin away, they would come looking for trouble with her. Those people were not limited to the employees in the company, but also the socialites from the upper class who would not spit out their bones.

Therefore, before the time was ripe for her to take revenge on Bruce and the others, she did not plan to involve Jiang Shaomin in her own muddy waters.

Jiang Shaomin was like an underground lover. He, who had always been meticulous and serious in his work, would suddenly fall into a trance in the office. He would often think about what his baby was doing in the workplace.

If he missed her, he could only wait for her, meet her in the pantry, or drag her into the lounge and private bathroom to make quick and passionate love.
