Rong Dai frowned slightly, stopping by the car and turning to look at Shi Ning walking towards her.
"Miss Shi, is there something I can help you with?"
Her voice was indifferent, and her gaze towards Shi Ning was also very cold.
Shi Ning walked up to her. Although she still looked as calm and well-behaved as always, Rong Dai could clearly see the fury in her eyes.
TK had gotten into trouble, and the Jin Xiu Studio was implicated.
And Shi Ning was the leader of the Jin Xiu Studio's participation this time, so she was redirecting her anger towards Rong Dai, which was within Rong Dai's expectations.
However, seeing Shi Ning's urge to hit her, she increasingly understood why Master Shi Yue had tried so hard to bring her into Jin Xiu Studio.
She didn't dare boast about her own excellence, but Master Shi Yue had been in the industry for many years and could discern the quality of embroidered works with one glance.
There were currently severe internal conflicts within Jin Xiu Studio. Even if Master Shi Yue wished to groom Shi Ning to take over her position, if Shi Ning could not convince the masses, then no matter how Master Shi Yue protected her, Shi Ning would not be able to firmly take the first seat of Jin Xiu Studio.
The greater the responsibility, the stronger one's abilities had to be.
But Shi Ning clearly did not meet this criteria. Master Shi Yue was very aware that Shi Ning desperately needed people by her side, which was why she had noticed Rong Dai.
Rong Dai had understood all of this when she first met Master Shi Yue in Hua Fu Mountain City.
But apparently Shi Ning had not grasped Master Shi Yue's intentions, instead viewing Rong Dai as an enemy.
"Miss Rong, do I look like I have nothing to do right now?"
Shi Ning tried her best to restrain the rage in her heart. She really hated Rong Dai and wished she could slap her across the face!
She had been so close to success!
Why did this b*tch have to come and mess things up?
Couldn't she have leaked the news at any other time instead of yesterday?
And in that kind of situation too!
Wasn't she deliberately trying to oppose Shi Ning?
Rong Dai found Shi Ning amusing. Had Shi Ning come to take out her anger on Rong Dai?
"Miss Shi, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean."
"Have I offended you in some way unknowingly?"
She asked Shi Ning with a smile instead of anger.
"Boss Shi, don't..."
Shi Ning's assistant turned pale with fright. Clutching a folder, she tugged lightly on Shi Ning's sleeve next to her, reminding her.
Shi Ning's expression was gloomy as she stared fixedly at Rong Dai. After silently taking two deep breaths, she noticed the cafe across from them.
"Miss Rong, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go to the cafe over there instead?"
She suggested.
Rong Dai did not look at the cafe, but glanced at her watch to check the time before shaking her head. "Miss Shi, I'm afraid I'll have to decline. I have an appointment to have lunch with Shaoling."
"I apologize for not being able to accompany you. If there's anything you need to say, you can just tell me here."
Rong Dai had nothing much to discuss with Shi Ning. And judging by Shi Ning's manner, it seemed like she wanted to devour Rong Dai instead of having a conversation.
Shi Ning involuntarily clenched her fists tightly when she saw Rong Dai's calm expression as she rejected Shi Ning's request.
It felt as if she had been punched in the chest, and was extremely stifled.
But her assistant was very conscientious, continuously reminding her.
The look in Shi Ning's eyes fluctuated unpredictably. Although it was just a few seconds, Rong Dai could clearly see that Shi Ning was trying hard to restrain her anger.
"Well, it's nothing important anyway. I was interested in purchasing this courtyard to use as a studio in the past."
"I happened to see you coming out from inside just now. I didn't expect that you were the one who rented this courtyard."
"I wonder if Miss Rong would be amenable to letting me have this courtyard. If so, I'm willing to compensate you for all the rental fees, as well as an additional compensation fee."
