The next day.
Dressed in disguise as agreed upon, Ji Yao appeared at the rival company's premises.
Seeing that it was still early for the appointed time, she strolled idly around the ground floor of the company's building.
Once she confirmed that the company matched what she had learned online, she went upstairs, satisfied.
As soon as word spread that Designer Y had arrived at the company, the whole corporation plunged into tension.
The person in charge hurried to the reception area, with a smile greeting Ji Yao, who was in disguise.
"Hello, Designer Y, we've finally awaited your arrival. I was worried you might cancel our collaboration..."
"Look at what you're saying. You've already announced the success of our collaboration. If I were to back out now, wouldn't that be a huge slap in your face?"
Ji Yao looked at the person in front of her with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Her words threw the person in charge's heartbeat into disarray.
