“Hmph…”

　　The chubby boy to the left of Henry Clark muttered quietly:

　　“They pay us this lousy salary and still want a Kitty cat…”

　　“Chubby, what are you mumbling about!?”

　　“N-n-no, Ms. Emily! I was saying Hello Kitty is the best! Perfast!” Chubby jumped in fright.

　　…

　　Emily Thompson’s roar filled the entire meeting room.

　　Henry Clark sat with eyes closed, twirling his pen, still pondering the safe from last night’s dream.

　　An eight-digit password…

　　What could it be?

　　And what’s hidden inside the safe?

　　A Kitty cat?

　　A cat?

　　Listening to Emily Thompson’s bellowing, Henry Clark thought of the cat mask on Big Face Cat’s face.

　　That was also a cartoon cat image.

　　Just a few simple strokes, yet the cuteness and liveliness of the cat were vividly captured.

　　Especially with the mask covering Big Face Cat’s huge face, it created a striking contrast of purity emerging from the mud.

　　I have to admit, that cat design really was adorable.

　　Simple yet exquisite, fresh and straightforward.

　　Lost in thought, Henry Clark sketched out the cartoon cat on his draft paper with just a few strokes…

　　“Huh?”

　　A female colleague next to him leaned over:

　　“Henry Clark, what are you drawing?”

Chapter 3: Time

　　“A little kitty? Wow! So cute!”

　　The female colleague beside him looked at Henry Clark’s sketch, unable to put it down:

　　“Henry Clark, why don’t you hand such a great design draft to Ms. Emily?”

　　Huh???

　　Whoosh—

　　In an instant!

　　All eyes in the meeting room turned this way.

　　Especially the colleagues from the design department, who looked over with pleading eyes!

　　“What? Let me see!”

　　Stomp stomp stomp!

　　Emily Thompson strode over quickly.

　　Right now, she was just putting on a tough front, using her anger to cover up her panic.

　　In fact, she was more nervous than anyone!

　　Although President Harris sat silently in her chair, everyone could tell she was very dissatisfied! Very angry!

　　Smack.

　　Emily Thompson snatched up Henry Clark’s draft paper.

　　Gradually…

　　Her breathing calmed, her tone softened, and the raging fire above her head seemed to die down.

　　“You… you…”

　　Emily Thompson scratched her head and smacked her lips:

　　“This… I actually think it’s pretty good!”

　　Emily Thompson placed the draft in front of President Harris:

　　“Zhao… President Harris, take a look, this is the image Henry Clark designed for our new brand.”

　　After the draft was set down,

　　Everyone got up from their seats, craning their necks to see.

　　On the clean A4 paper, there was nothing extra.

　　Just a cartoon cat’s head drawn with a few simple strokes.

　　Simple.

　　Fresh.

　　Exquisite lines.

　　Yet every bit of expression and spirit was perfectly captured.

　　Even though it was just a simple sketch with a black pen… the cat’s cuteness and energy seemed to leap off the page!

　　For a moment, everyone started talking at once:

　　“Wow… this cat head that Henry Clark drew is great! Seriously, there’s an indescribable sense of cuteness and refinement.”

　　“This, I think it’s even cuter than Hello Kitty. Kitty cat is still too ladylike, and it doesn’t even have a mouth. But Henry Clark’s cat really gives off a more youthful, energetic vibe!”

　　“Youthful, girlish, age-reducing, energetic… the cat Henry Clark drew fits our new brand’s keywords perfectly! Amazing, Henry Clark, why didn’t you show us this awesome design earlier?”

　　“A good brand image needs to be simple enough, so it’s more recognizable and easier to spread. I think in this regard… Henry Clark’s cat is on par with Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, and Doraemon.”

　　…

　　This cute and simple cat head won unanimous praise from the design department!

　　Emily Thompson, whose heart had been in her throat, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　　She looked timidly at President Harris…

　　Waiting for her to speak.

　　Grace Harris.

　　She was the founder and current chairwoman of this MX company.

　　After returning from studying abroad, she founded MX Cosmetics, and in less than two years, it had already gained some fame among young people.

　　Beautiful, elegant, capable, and talented—like a heroine straight out of a modern urban novel!

　　At this moment, she was staring intently at the draft paper in front of her, deep in thought.

　　Everyone was waiting for her to speak!

　　Finally…

　　Grace Harris’s brows relaxed:

　　“Not bad.”

　　“Right… right, President Harris! Hahaha, see, our design team does have talent!”

　　Seeing her crisis averted, Emily Thompson began to lavish praise on Henry Clark:

　　“Henry Clark is our team’s secret weapon! The pillar! The stabilizing force! Ahem… For artistic talents like this, I always give them absolute creative freedom, never interfering or asking too many questions.”

　　“Henry Clark, tell our President Harris how you came up with this cat design. What was your inspiration?”

　　Grace Harris also looked up, gazing at Henry Clark with some anticipation.

　　“I dreamed it.”

　　Henry Clark answered honestly.

　　“Henry Clark, you! Hey…”
