If not at the appraisal panel, it was mainly Gubelin who was awarded the votes. She could get one vote all thanks to Gubelin; otherwise, she basically would not get a single vote.
Lu Mengxi actually thought that no one would acknowledge Shen Qianshu.
Yet, Chen Wanwan was the first person to go over and invite her for dinner.
The two looked really close with each other.
“Luckily, you told me not to bet on Shen Lin. If not, I would have lost a few million dollars.” Chen Wanwan was still in a shock and said, “I was breaking out in a cold sweat when sitting in the audience just now. It’s too scary.”
“I only said that this year’s design competition had too many variables and is not suitable for predicting. This is also why the competition is interesting,” Shen Qianshu said and smiled. “Sister Wanwan, what do you want to talk to me about?”
“Let’s talk over dinner later.” Chen Wanwan only focused on chatting with Shen Qianshu and did not bother about Lu Mengxi, who was just beside them.
She was not acquainted with Lu Mengxi, was badly spoilt by Ye Guanjun, and did not care what others thought of her. Lu Mengxi felt indignant that she was actually ignored by an actress. Lu Mengxi, who always drew a circle of admirers among the aristocratic ladies, was very unhappy.
Luckily, at that moment, a few men and women who were elegantly dressed walked over and surrounded Lu Mengxi. With all of them admiring her, her mood then brightened up.
During the few short minutes when Shen Qianshu and Chen Wanwan were chatting, Ye Ling was not around anymore when she turned around.
She thought that Ye Ling must have already left.
She actually felt quite down.
“Shu ah, is there any personal feud between Ye Ling and Shen Lin?”
“I don’t think so. Ye Ling admires her a lot.”
Lu Mengxi frowned. How did she know that?
“How do you know that?” Wanwan asked.
Shen Qianshu said, “I was in charge of AG’s jewelry appraisal once, went to their main office, and heard rumors in the process. It was spread internally in the company, so it most likely shouldn’t be fake I guess.”
“This… I don’t understand. Don’t tell me he is playing the game of ‘I like you, but I can’t have you so I am going to attract your attention?’” Chen Wanwan came out with a logical hypothesis.
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
Lu Mengxi left in the middle of her friends’ admiration. Chen Wanwan said, “I don’t like her.”
“Who?”
“Lu Mengxi.”
“Sister, you know her?”
“Of course I do,” Chen Wanwan said. “Although both of you are in the same industry, don’t ever get too closely acquainted with her. Never mind, I suppose she will not take a liking towards you either.”
Shen Qianshu replied. “… Sister Wanwan, I am not that bad right?”
“You don’t understand, with a beauty like yours, women only know how to be jealous, and what’s more, someone from the same industry? Being in the same industry means you guys are enemies, didn’t you know that?” Chen Wanwan laughed, and both of them left the appraisal panel together. Li Zhiyuan walked towards them too, and the three exchanged greetings.
Li Zhiyuan said, “Qianshu, let’s have dinner together.”
“I already have an appointment,” Shen Qianshu said.
Chen Wanwan said, “CEO Li, I asked Qianshu out for dinner, but if you don’t mind, you can join us!”
“Sure, I’m more than happy to.”
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
Thank goodness Master is not around. If not, he would have gone berserk again.
Shen Qianshu left the two of them temporarily and went over to greet two of her French friends. The three of them conversed in French and were all smiles. Their relationship was really good, and they chatted for a full three minutes before a reporter came over and requested for an interview. The two French hotties then left.
It was a live interview.
The reporter asked, “Miss Shen, what do you think of this year’s jewelry design competition?”
“It’s quite amazing,” Shen Qianshu said. “City A’s jewelry design competition has ever-changing rules but does not deviate from its roots no matter how different the rules are. As a jewelry designer, knowledge about jewels is also very important. This year’s second round of competition had a concept competition that past years didn’t. The contestants could unleash their creativity to a greater extent even more.”
