Chapter 511: Chapter 511: A Dismal and Miserable Death (1)_1

Xia Wan’an, who was in a burst of inspiration, was fully engrossed in her computer screen when suddenly a knock at her office door interrupted her.

Without breaking her rhythm or taking her eyes off the screen, she distractedly called out, "Come in."

The office door opened, and Fan Ming walked in, "Director Xia, you haven’t left work yet?"

Xia Wan’an clicked the mouse for a while before she raised her head and glanced at Fan Ming who had just entered, "Mm, I’m working on something."

After a pause, Xia Wan’an opened her mouth to ask, "What’s up? Do you need anything?"

"No, I just finished today’s work and was preparing to leave when I noticed your office light was still on, so I came in to check..." Fan Ming scratched his head with an innocent look.

"Today is an exception, I happen to have some extra work..." Xia Wan’an thought of his wound and her face changed to a look of concern. "Speaking of which, Fan Ming, how’s your wound?"

"It’s not a big deal, the stitches can be removed in a couple of days."

"Mm, but you should still be careful not to get it wet, be wary of infections, and make sure to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor on time."

"I understand, Director Xia, thank you for your concern."

"Fan Ming, you shouldn’t say that, it’s me who should be thanking you." Xia Wan’an gave a sweet smile to Fan Ming.

Seeing Xia Wan’an’s smile, Fan Ming also smiled, his smile was very sincere.

After a while, Fan Ming pointed at Xia Wan’an’s computer and asked, "Director Xia, are you dealing with some difficult task? Do you need my help? I’m used to working overtime anyway..."

"No need, it’s not company business, it’s a personal matter..." Only the higher-ups in the company knew about her challenge to Chimu. Most employees in the design department probably had no idea, but Fan Ming was an exception. He was Chi Yao’s and Chi Mu’s man, so he must know about her competition against Chimu. With that in mind, Xia Wan’an spoke again without changing her expression. "I’m preparing for a competition in a few days, so I’m working on the design drafts."

After finishing her sentence, Xia Wan’an appeared to pick up a cup of water on the side to drink, but in reality, she was secretly observing Fan Ming.

She clearly noticed that Fan Ming’s eyes brightened when she finished her sentence, but it was only for a moment, then he reverted back to his earnest and honest demeanor.

"I see, Director Xia, you have to do your best. I wish you success in advance."

After swallowing the water in her mouth, Xia Wan’an gave Fan Ming a pure, untainted smile. "Thank you, Fan Ming."

After saying these words, Xia Wan’an lowered her gaze.

Since Chi Mu and Fan Ming had gone to such great lengths to stage such an elaborate feigned injury, it would be a shame if she didn’t play along with them!

With that thought, Xia Wan’an put down her cup, pulled out a USB drive from her bag, and plugged it into the computer. "It’s getting late. I’m also planning to leave work and go home. I’ll take home the partially completed design draft and work on it tonight."

As Xia Wan’an copied the semi-finished design draft onto the USB drive, she glanced at Fan Ming from the corner of her eye.

His gaze was fixed intently on the USB drive plugged into her computer.

She didn’t try to hide it, letting Fan Ming watch. She even intentionally pretended that her computer was running slow. After a good while, she pretended to finally finish copying, and as she unplugged the USB drive, she turned off the computer.
