"Mr. Mo, Lawyer Yu." Snow Grace entered the room without the slightest hint of awkwardness and said directly, "This is the proposal I've prepared on my end. Please take a look."
Julia Yu looked at Snow Grace in surprise.
This woman is impressive.
She didn't rely on her striking resemblance to Cici Grant to win favor, but instead used her career skills to earn goodwill.
Her level may not be the highest, but she's definitely not someone you dislike.
Max Mo glanced at the proposal Snow Grace handed over, then casually passed it to Julia Yu.
Julia Yu took it, skimmed through, and asked, "Miss Grace, are you planning to be a source supplier?"
Snow Grace sat down on a chair to the side and smiled, "That's right. Coincidentally, my family does this kind of business. So I thought I'd leverage my connections—being close to the source gives me an advantage—and secure Mr. Mo's order first. I also want to contribute to the cause for people with disabilities. Look, these components, my family can produce them. I can guarantee their quality; they're just as good as anything on the market, maybe even better."
Julia Yu placed the proposal on the table, puzzled. "But as far as I know, the Grace Family isn't in this line of business."
Snow Grace paused, then said, "Let's just say I want to start my own venture and chose this industry."
Max Mo's handsome brows lifted as he looked at Snow Grace. "Miss Grace, you really are sincere."
Snow Grace immediately broke into a smile and said, "It's an honor for the Grace Family to work with Mr. Mo. Of course, that's just polite talk. Honestly, I want to use these components as my token of loyalty and learn management skills from Mr. Mo. Even though I'm a woman, and the Grace Family's assets aren't much in your eyes, to me, I want to be a strong woman like Lawyer Yu. My parents never taught me how to run a business, so I'm shamelessly here to ask Mr. Mo for guidance."
With just one sentence, Snow Grace managed to win over both of them. She's really not someone you can dislike.
Max Mo and Julia Yu were no exception.
Before Snow Grace made her intentions clear, being friends was just fine for everyone.
Julia Yu said, "Miss Grace, you really are full of sincerity. Every clause in this proposal benefits our little company, and almost all the restrictions are aimed at your side. Miss Grace, aren't you worried that once the contract is signed, you'll be stuck on our pirate ship?"
Seeing Julia Yu's joking smile, Snow Grace replied right away, "Julia, you said it's a pirate ship—so as the captain, Mr. Mo wouldn't just sit by and watch his crew go down, right?"
After speaking, Snow Grace playfully winked at Mr. Mo. "Mr. Mo, what do you think?"
Max Mo was momentarily dazed.
Back then, Cici Grant used to smile at him just like that.
If only she were Gu Xixi.
Forget it, time to eat.
Max Mo finished lunch gracefully and quickly.
Snow Grace saw Max Mo finish the last bite, hurried to clean up, and politely left the office.
As soon as Snow Grace stepped out, she saw several colleagues glaring at her.
She smiled awkwardly and nodded, pretending not to notice their unfriendly looks, and hurried back to her own office.
After closing the office door, Snow Grace let out a long sigh of relief.
She had managed to survive another day at the Mo Consortium without causing any trouble.
But she knew that things wouldn't stay peaceful for long.
She sat down at her desk, trying to focus on her work, but her mind kept wandering.
The rumors in the company were getting worse, and she worried that someone would eventually confront her.
Snow Grace took out her phone and sent a message to Julia Yu: 'Thanks for helping me out today.'
Julia Yu replied quickly: 'No problem. Just remember, you owe me lunch next time!'
Snow Grace smiled, feeling a little more at ease.
She put her phone away and looked out the window, watching the city bustle below.
No matter what happened, she told herself she would keep going.
After all, she had come this far already.
Meanwhile, in Max Mo's office, he finished his work and leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
He wondered if Snow Grace would ever truly fit in at the Mo Consortium.
He thought of Gu Xixi, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
No matter how many people came and went, some things couldn't be replaced.
Max Mo stood up and walked to the window, gazing out at the city as if searching for something.
He whispered to himself, 'Gu Xixi... where are you now?'
Outside, the sun was shining, but his heart felt cold.
The office was quiet, and the only sound was the distant hum of traffic.
Max Mo returned to his desk and forced himself to focus on work.
But his thoughts kept drifting back to the past.
Snow Grace, meanwhile, was already planning her next move.
She wasn't going to let office gossip bring her down.
She was here to work, not to make friends—or enemies.
Snow Grace opened her laptop and started typing up a report, her fingers flying over the keys.
She was determined to prove herself, no matter what others said.
Julia Yu sent her another message: 'Dinner tonight? My treat.'
Snow Grace replied with a smiley face: 'You read my mind!'
For the first time that day, Snow Grace felt truly happy.
Maybe, just maybe, things were starting to look up.
She packed up her things as the workday ended, ready to meet Julia Yu for dinner.
Outside, the city lights began to twinkle as night fell.
Snow Grace walked out of the building, her head held high.
She didn't care about the stares or whispers anymore.
Tonight, she was going to enjoy herself.
Julia Yu was waiting for her at the restaurant, waving as soon as she saw Snow Grace.
"Over here!" Julia called out.
Snow Grace walked over, smiling brightly.
The two women sat down and ordered their food, chatting and laughing as if nothing in the world could bother them.
For a moment, Snow Grace forgot all her troubles.
She realized that maybe, just maybe, she could find happiness here after all.
The night was young, and anything was possible.
