Repayment

Dong Hua has been occupied with work lately. 

The Plagiarism Lawsuit with Mo Jie International was stressing him out but Dong Hua rarely shows his emotions. 

He thought to himself, who was the mole in the company? How did Mo Jie International manage to get their hands on their latest designs and launch it before the official release date?

With these thoughts, Dong Hua has been working non-stop and barely sleeps. What's important to him right now, is to work on a new proposal for the 'Pillow Dream Destination' contract before the deadline. 

Even Lian Song barely gets a chance to see Dong Hua.

The lawsuit was all over the news. But to hear such rumors now had made Feng Jiu worried. 

Feng Jiu once again met up with Cheng Yu and Lian Song and Lian Song told Feng Jiu everything that was going on. 

Feng Jiu pondered, what can she do to help Dong Hua out, after all, she's just a nobody. 

For some reason, she felt a little disappointed in herself but not being able to help Dong Hua. 

Suddenly, an idea flashes through her mind. Fengjiu excelled at one thing, Architecture design. She will draft a new design and Lian Song could help her submit her proposal to Dong Hua. 

Lian Song nodded and agreed with the plan after a moment of thought. 

—————————————

After slogging away for days on end, Feng Jiu finally completed her draft. 

Although she knew that it was a popular destination for travelers, she wanted to make sure it felt like "Home" for them as well so she brought that into consideration while designing. 

She then sought Si Ming's help for the final touch-up of her draft as she wanted it to be perfect. Deep inside, she was hoping Dong Hua would finally notice her when he sees her talent. 

Si Ming and Feng Jiu knew each other since they were young and he is a well-known walking encyclopedia who seems to know everything. Si Ming was also Dong Hua's classmate back in University. 

"Perfect! This is great, Si Ming!" Said Feng Jiu, excitedly.

Feng Jiu contacted Lian Song so she could submit her proposal but he was out of the country due to urgent work business. 

He then told her to contact Ji Heng, his assistant, to submit the proposal. 

Feng Jiu met up with Ji Heng and thanked her profusely for her help. What they didn't know is that Ji Heng harbors a huge crush on Dong Hua since the day she joined the company. 

Ji Heng then decided to peek at Feng Jiu's proposal and she realized that the proposal was exceptional. An evil thought then came to her mind, she wanted to claim this proposal as hers and submit it using her own name instead of Feng Jiu's name. 

——————————————

A week passed and Lian Song came back from his overseas business trip. 

He attended a meeting with all the board directors and managers regarding the latest proposal for the 'Pillow Dream Destination' contract. 

During the meeting, Dong Hua brought up a new proposed design. Lian Song was pleased to see Feng Jiu's design on the screen but what happens next, startled him. 

He furiously thought to himself, why was it under Ji Heng's name?! Before he could speak up, Dong Hua then announced that Pillow Dream Destination really liked the new proposal and decided to go with it.

Dong Hua then praised Ji Heng and said it was rare to find someone with such talents. 

Ji Heng was promoted to the Head of the Design Department, overseeing the whole project. 

Lian Song confronted Ji Heng after the meeting and she nonchalantly replied, "I don't know what you are talking about, this is my design." 

He replied furiously, "We all know that this is Feng Jiu's work so you don't have to act all innocent about it." 

Ji Heng then smirks and said "What's done is done. Please mind your words now that I am no longer your assistant." 

Lian Song thought to himself, that if Ji Heng wasn't a female, he would have punched her right in the face. 

Before he lost control, he proceeded to walk away and calls Feng Jiu to tell her about the whole incident.

——————————————

Feng Jiu was exasperated but she knew that there was nothing she could do. Why would Dong Hua believe a stranger over Ji Heng, someone who works in the company for the past two years? 

Although she was feeling resentful, she knew that she had to let it go. 

She sighed deeply and thought to herself, "does this count as repayment for saving the company? What about the Plagiarism Lawsuit? Would I be able to help him out with that too?"
