Kang Xuan was currently with Xiao Linye in the office when a call from Manlang's Boss Ye came through. He looked at Xiao Linye. "Master, it's Boss Ye from Manlang on the line, likely about the design fee."
The Nanjia Peak manuscript had been through its ups and downs. Regardless, this manuscript was indeed created by someone from Manlang.
Upon hearing it was that woman asking for the design fee, Xiao Linye's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "That manuscript wasn't solely her design; Designer Ye completed the latter part after joining the Xiao Family."
So, it was indeed someone from Manlang. However, while Manlang initiated the project, a change in her employment status meant the Xiao Family could be considered to have completed the latter portion themselves. Therefore, logically, the full design fee, as previously agreed, shouldn't be paid out.
Upon hearing this, Kang Xuan became somewhat puzzled. "Then what are you suggesting? How should the design fee be settled?"
