Chapter 943: Wild Beast Borne from Jealousy

This was essentially giving all of the profits to Jian Yiling. This meant that Sofia was a mere platform for Jian Yiling to display her talent.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruo’s face was becoming green with jealousy.

Chen Lu’s attitude and words towards Jian Yiling deeply stung her heart.

At the same time, Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, and Jian Yunnao were also surprised by the generous conditions offered by Chen Lu.

Other than the feeling of surprise, the Jian family was also somewhat worried. Wen Nuan already knew that her daughter was incredibly busy with her current workload. It was almost impossible for her to take on more work.

No matter the conditions offered, she would not approve of her daughter taking on a new job.

However, she did not express her thoughts. After all, her daughter’s decisions were no longer something that she could influence.

Chen Lu and Sofia were not stupid. As of now, the company did not have anything in place for medical cosmetics. They were essentially hiring Jian Yiling to open up new territory for their business. By doing so, they could regain market share and accumulate loyal customers. This was a boost to their whole brand.

Jian Yiling could get them through this period of time and create an entire production line.

And even if that much revenue was given to Jian Yiling, Sofia could earn revenue through other means.

However, Jian Yiling still refused. Once again, there was no hesitation in her voice: “Vice President Chen Lu, please find someone who is better qualified than me.”

Her voice was soft as she said this. It appeared as though she felt bad for rejecting Chen Lu’s offer.

However, the attitude of her refusal was still very firm.

Surprisingly, Chen Lu was not angry at Jian Yiling’s refusal. Instead, she said: “No no, it’s okay. You don’t need to feel bad for rejecting my offer. Sofia must not be good enough for you yet.”

Chen Lu’s attitude towards Jian Yiling was so kind that it was almost unbelievable that this was happening.

After all, it was rare for a person of her stature and status to speak to the younger generation with such a humble attitude.

Furthermore, after being decisively rejected, she continued to be humble and modest.

Wen Cheng smiled and said: “Ahh, Yiling is amazing. Even Vice President Chen Lu thinks highly of you! The Jian family and Wen family must pay close attention to Yiling in the future! She must not get stolen away by someone!”

Wen Cheng said these words to ease Chen Lu’s embarrassment. After all, Chen Lu was their guest.

Grandma Wen: “Yiling is as talented as her second brother. They’re both geniuses. It’s totally normal for people to think highly of them. Vice President Chen Lu, please do not feel discouraged. Yiling has been rather busy lately. Even her face appears a little haggard. Why don’t you wait until she’s less busy? Maybe then, she’ll agree to your offer.”

Chen Lu: “Grandma Wen is right. I won’t give up so easily. I will wait until Miss Jian Yiling is a bit freer. Then, I will come back to bother her. I hope she’ll be okay with me bothering her.”

And thus, the few of them jokingly resolved the awkward situation.

As everyone else happily chattered away, no one noticed that Wen Ruo’s complexion had become incredibly ugly.

She was incredibly jealous of Jian Yiling.

She was jealous of Chen Lu’s attitude towards Jian Yiling.

She was jealous of Grandma Wen and Wen Cheng constantly praising Jian Yiling.

She was jealous that everyone around her was happy.

Why? Why was it Jian Yiling?!

She was better than Jian Yiling!

In the past, she used to be the one who they all praised during family gatherings!

And now, Jian Yiling took everything away from her!

She didn’t get her dream position at Sofia. And yet, Sofia begged for Jian Yiling to join them.

Then, Wen Ruo’s eyes stopped on the crossbow that Wen Cheng brought back home.
