Chapter 41 She Got in Through the Back Door
Nicole turned her gaze slightly to the speaker. The speaker was a woman with wavy hair and heavy makeup, and her oxblood red lipstick made her look like she was ready to devour someone alive.
The woman’s words were instantly met with displeasure from the listeners. “Even if Lisa has F&M Apparel backing her up, she has to have certain capabilities to be able to take up the position of Chief Designer at the company, no?”
“That’s right. I’ve seen Lisa’s designs, and they’re very novel and spectacular. Sabrina, you’d better stop saying things like these. Lisa is one of the best designers in our profession.”
However, the person named Sabrina turned a deaf ear to the others’ words of advice. With a disdainful look on her face, she said with a soft snort, “We have Miss Schmidt leading us in the Design Department. Even if Lisa never comes in, Gardner Corporation will be the No. 1 company in the industry sooner or later. However talented she is, she can’t hold a candle to Miss Schmidt.”
At the mention of Miss Schmidt’s name, the others had a somewhat troubled expression on their faces, and they stopped speaking for Lisa. After all, Joanna Schmidt was the head of the Design Department and had been heading the department ever since Gardner Apparel started business. Furthermore, Joanna had single-handedly brought Gardner Apparel to where it presently was. Therefore, even if Lisa was well-known in the industry, they dared not say she was definitely better.
Seeing how these people had nothing to say, Sabrina spoke with even greater zeal. “Miss Schmidt is currently one of the best designers in our country, whereas Lisa is only famous abroad. We can’t glorify everything foreign so much, right?”
Those in the Design Department were all sophisticated. After all, Joanna was their immediate superior. However capable Lisa was, she would leave after staying with the company for no more than a few months. Eventually, it was Joanna who would be supervising them.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
