Chapter 38
Lindsay’s remarks successfully shifted everyone’s attention to Becky’s design drawing.
At first, everyone was puzzled as to why Lindsay spoke up for Becky. It was not until they saw Becky’s drawing with their own eyes that they understood Lindsay’s intention.
Compared to Celine’s design, it was evident that Becky’s design was next–level.
Betty did not expect that someone would speak up for Becky. For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed, but she did not insistently nitpick about Becky’s drawing.
“As a newbie, her work is indeed not bad,” Betty said. “However, for our collaboration with Starry Group this time, we need to consider things more comprehensively. Are you willing to take such a risk?”
Lindsay was left speechless after being countered. Who was she anyway? Compared to Betty, who was the design director, her words carried less weight.
In the face of their conversation, Becky was like an outsider. She did not care at all whether Betty would pick her design drawing.
She did not even want to argue. She found it foolish and ridiculous to bring personal grievances into work.
In the end, it was decided as such. Betty insisted on using Celine’s design drawing. Naturally, no one insisted on using Becky’s design drawing.
After coming out of the conference room, Becky did not show any signs of being unhappy. Instead, she held her belongings and went back to work as usual.
When Becky walked past Betty, the latter even pretended to offer her some words of
consolation.
“Becky, I’m not denying the quality of your work,” Betty said. “It’s just that we have to consider the big picture. Your design is not bad.”
Becky did not want to appreciate the fake expression on Betty’s face at all. She just nodded casually and walked away without even looking at Betty.

This infuriated Betty. “How dare she ignore me?” she thought.
Lindsay naturally noticed this scene. She admired Becky inwardly.
“It seems that ever since she arrived, she has never shown a pleasant expression to those who are looking for trouble,” Lindsay thought. “She’s very bold.”
After the meeting finally ended, Lindsay and her female colleague from the department slacked off in the break room.
“You have no idea,” Lindsay said. “Our project feels like a palace intrigue every day!”
Lindsay pulled her female colleague and vented fiercely.
“It hasn’t been easy to get rid of that annoying Ned, but now we have a new director who seems to be deliberately targeting the newcomer, Becky,” Lindsay said.
Upon hearing this, Lindsay’s female colleague got excited and immediately asked what had happened.
Lindsay answered as she took out the drawing that Becky had just captured.
“Look, can’t we just use this drawing directly?” Lindsay said.
The colleague nodded in confusion. As designers themselves, they were sensitive to design drawings. Even if they were not highly skilled, they could basically tell the quality at a glance.
“There’s no problem with the drawing,” the colleague said. “It also aligns well with Starry Group’s plan. Is anyone dissatisfied?”
“Hey, you actually got it right!” Lindsay said, raising her voice a little. However, she quickly lowered her voice.
“Lower your voice!” the female colleague said. “If the boss hears us, we’ll both be in big
trouble!”
When Rocky arrived at the entrance of the design department, he heard this sentence. Initially, he was about to shake his head and leave, but the next moment, he heard something that puzzled him.

“However, this new director is like a joke,” Lindsay said. “She used someone else’s design. That design is very ordinary. It can’t compare to Becky’s at all. Do you understand?
“I asked her why she didn’t use Becky’s design. Guess what? She found faults with her
work.”
“From what I can tell, she’s deliberately mocking the intern,” the female colleague said. “Don’t you think?”
The female colleague’s remark was insightful and hit the nail on the head regarding Betty’s
action.
These words were heard by Rocky. He immediately went to look for Betty, intending to take a look at everyone’s design drawings before making a final judgment.
Betty did not think much about it. She placed all design drawings in front of Rocky.
“Which one did you ultimately decide on?” Rocky asked.
In response to his question, Betty nonchalantly pointed at the drawing with the name. “Celine Richard“.
Rocky felt that he was about to lose control of his expression.
He took out Becky’s drawing from the stack of drawings.
“Compared to this drawing, this one is clearly more outstanding, isn’t it?” Rocky said.
Rocky met Betty’s eyes. Betty felt a sudden suffocating sensation, leaving her somewhat
at a loss for words.
“Starry Group’s focus for this quarter is on light luxury styles,” Rocky said. “Although Celine’s design doesn’t have any major issues, don’t you know that Starry Group will not be impressed?
“Such a simple design doesn’t match the theme they provided us at all. If we give it to them just like that, the collaboration this time will most likely stop.”
Betty felt a little guilty after being criticized, but she had no intention of backing down at all. There was absolutely no way she would let Becky’s work be chosen for the final

sample.
“Mr. Bradley, as the director of this project, I naturally have my own ideas,” Betty said.
“Becky is a new intern. Her design does not align with the concept of this collaboration, in my opinion.
“I believe her qualifications are not sufficient to replace Celine. I’ve looked at both design. drawings carefully and decided after much consideration. I hope you won’t take things out of context and misinterpret my decision.”
Upon seeing Betty’s attitude, Rocky did not want to waste any more time arguing with her. Instead, he took both design drawings and left.
He took the elevator all the way to the top floor.
Through the window, Sigmund could be seen sitting inside and looking at documents.
Rocky even forgot to knock on the door. He pushed open the door and went in, putting the two design drawings on Sigmund’s table.
*Compare these two drawings,” Rocky said. “If you were to present them to Starry Group for review, which one do you think would be better?”
Sigmund lifted his eyebrows. He put down the pen that he was holding and simply glanced at the design drawings.
In the next moment, Sigmund’s slender fingers landed on Becky’s drawing.
Rocky chuckled and said, “What if I told you that the one to be sent over is the other one?”
This casual remark made Sigmund frown.
“Are you crazy?” Sigmund said.
After a long while, Sigmund finally said this.
“See, you think it’s crazy too, don’t you?” Rocky said.
Rocky then sneered and continued, “Ms. Adams made a quick decision to choose this one. She even found fault with the other one: We’re both discerning people. Even if you want to

indulge your ex–girlfriend, you can’t risk this hard–earned collaboration.”
When Sigmund heard that it was Betty again, he was extremely annoyed. He rubbed his temples helplessly.
He even started to question whether he had made a mistake by agreeing to let Betty come
over.
However, at this moment, Betty also came up to the top floor. As she walked in, Sigmund’s finger was still pointing at Becky’s drawing.
“Let’s go with this one,” Sigmund said. “Just say that it’s confirmed by me.”
