Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 179 Will not succeed

————-
The meeting inside An Qing's conference room was very busy. Chen Limei sat in the center seat as the board of directors sat on either sides of her. In front of each person was a laptop containing the upcoming designs. Yue Ling sat at the far end of the table as Liu Shan and Ju Suo stood behind her.
A member of the board of directors looked at Yue Ling and he frown, "CEO Chen, is it necessary that the two people behind Miss Han be in this room too? This is a serious meeting not some entertainment show."
Chen Limei glance at Yue Ling then to Liu Shan and Ju Suo. She pout her lip in thinking. When they arrived in the conference room, she didn't think the two people would follow in after Yue Ling. However, the man was right, she nod her head at the man then smiles at Yue Ling.
"Excuse me, I'm not trying to be rude but can you dismiss the two people behind you so we can start the meeting?"
Liu Shan and Ju Suo stood their ground. Their eyes looking indifferently at Chen Limei. Did her words scare them? Of course not. It was Yue Ling's call in whether they leave or no.
Hearing how Chen Limei spoke to Liu Shan and Ju Suo, Yue Ling rested one elbow on the table and held her chin with her palm. She smile a graceful smile, but this smile did not reach her eyes. Tilting her head, she looks directly at Chen Limei.
"That's a very good idea, but WE are from De L'amour, NOT An Qing."
As she spoke each words, the expression on everyone from An Qing darkens. Each person glaring daggers at Yue Ling. Especially the man who spoke the idea.
Yue Ling ignores the glares and kept her smile. Behind her, Liu Shan and Ju Suo we're smiling inside. Their boss is so straightforward when she wants to be, how can she listen to Chen Limei.
Noticing the time has past since the meeting was scheduled, Yue Ling leaned back in her chair.
"Shall we start the meeting then or are we still wasting time?"
Chen Limei glares at Yue Ling, however, the meeting has to go on. Ignoring the rudeness, she turn her laptop on and started show casing her ideas. Standing up, she held a small remote and point to each listing shown.
"As you all know, these are the upcoming designs from De L'amour. Each piece is very unique and has its own style."
She taps a button that projects a screen behind her. The picture contained materials of the best quality in the word.
"Here is a chart of the materials we just received to make the designs for the upcoming fashion show. As you all know, this fashion show means a lot to us, we cannot fail."
While Chen Limei proceed in her speech, Yue Ling remained straight faced. Her eyes scanning the list of materials shown from the projector.
Although there wasn't much listed, she could still pinpoint some of the materials stolen from her team in Milan. In total, there are twenty fabrics, but only five are listed, that meant Chen Limei must be keeping the rest for her 'secrective' designs.
She knew each materials well, because the person who sold the materials in Milan were under her orders. That person will not sell anything to any other designers except her. By that, there is no possible way Chen Limei would be able to get her hands on them.
"That is all from me. What do you all think?"
Chen Limei closes the projector screen and sits down in her chair again. She glance with mockery at Yue Ling before looking around the room.
The people in the room applause Chen Limei for her presentation. They were proud to follow an outstanding CEO like her.
"CEO Chen's idea is very good. These materials are definitely the best of the best."
"I agree, An Qing will definitely bring De L'amour into the top ranking again."
Chen Limei nod her head with a smile. She loves when others praise her. If it wasn't for her, De L'amour would never be where it's at right now. It was all thanks to her hard work.
Seeing Chen Limei's cunning look, Ju Suo wanted to go over and slap the woman's face. Clenching her fist tightly, she could only hold back and glare at the woman.
Liu Shan glance at Ju Suo and he could relate to her thoughts. Not only did Chen Limei steal the materials for De L'amour, she's even taking credit for the things his boss did. Such a deceiving person should exist.
Sitting quietly and calmly, Yue Ling was oblivious to the two people behind her. She looked at Chen Limei and sighed inside. It is such a pity that some people are so stupid, especially when they get too ahead of themselves.
"Miss Chen, your idea is quite outstanding, but..."
Yue Ling interrupted the praising uproar, causing everyone to look at her. To them, they had pretty much forgotten that Yue Ling was even part of the meeting.
Not caring, Yue Ling motion with her hand to Ju Suo. Seeing the signal, Ju Suo nod her head and starts passing out the folders in her hand to each people sitting in the conference room.
Yue Ling waited until Ju Suo was done, then she smiles gracefully at the people.
"In the folders in front of you contains the REAL designs De L'amour plans to show case in the fashion show. I hope you all do De L'amour a proud job. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to make a report back."
Not waiting, she finish her words and stood up from her chair. Walking out of the room, she didn't care about the glares she was getting. To her, they were backstabbing people she will get rid of.
As the door closed, the conference room became an uproar like an angry mob.
"CEO Chen, can she do this? The meeting isn't over and she left. Just what did she meant by these folders contain the real designs? Weren't you sent the designs before hand?"
"Miss Han is just a puny retired model, how can she disregard us like this!"
Chen Limei grit her teeth together. Her eyes glaring at the door. This is the second time she was given no face by Han Yue Ling. First it was during the shoot at Beauty and now this, in front of her highly valued employees.
However, she can't get rid of Han Yue Ling just yet. The woman is part of her rising plan in the fashion industry. Chen Limei takes a deep breath and gesture her hand to quiet the room.
"Don't worry, as you all know, I plan to launch my own design in the fashion show. I could not say it out loud because we can't let those people from De L'amour know about this. For the meantime, we will proceed with what De L'amour wants done."
"CEO Chen, why don't you just get rid of De L'amour? Without us, they are nothing."
Hearing this, Chen Limei shook her head, "For now we can't, not until after we launch our design."
"What about Han Yue Ling, didn't the mole planted inside De L'amour say..."
"Ming Yue said Han Yue Ling is under De L'amour, that means she is under An Qing. Even if she is just a model, she has all the resources we need in the industry."
Chen Limei looks at the people in the room then she stood from her seat.
"This meeting will end here. I need to pull Han Yue Ling to our side for our plan to work."
She quickly leaves the room and quickens her pace to catch up to Han Yue Ling and the others. When she arrived on the first floor, she spotted the three people just about to leave the building.
"Han Yue Ling!"
Hearing her name, Yue Ling turns around. Seeing Chen Limei, she stopped in her steps and waited.
"Han Yue Ling, can I speak to you in private?"
Yue Ling looks at Chen Limei, she could already see where this is going. Since Chen Limei thinks of herself so clever, she will play along and listen. With a smile, Yue Ling nods her head.
"Of course, lead the way."
"B-b.. Yue Ling."
Ju Suo takes a step forward to stop Yue Ling, but she slightly shook her head and follows Chen Limei.
Watching her boss leave with the witch, Ju Suo pursed her lip.
"Liu Shan, will Boss be alright?"
Liu Shan didn't answer right away, he stare at Yue Ling's back as she slowly moves further into the distance. His mind thinking of something before he nods his head.
"Don't forget who she is before she is the owner of De L'amour. Even if Chen Limei plans to do something, she will not succeed. Remember, this is all part of the plan."
Hearing, Ju Suo heaved in relief inside. She sometimes couldn't help but forget that her Boss is not an ordinary person. From her time following Yue Ling, there has never been a person who schemes against Han Yue Ling and got away with it.
Not being able to follow their boss, both Liu Shan and Ju Suo could only stand aside and wait patiently.
