Yao Mengqing’s breathing quickened. She forced herself to calm down and squeezed out a smile. ‘Tm really sorry, Ah Zheng. I was too impatient and didn’t take the time to understand the situation. I didn’t expect Yun Chu to agree to the collaboration. Congratulations!”
Gu Zheng ignored her.
Yao Mengqing suddenly thought of something. “Li City is going to hold a jewelry design exhibition soon. Will Yun Chu be participating?”
Qiao Xi instantly understood this woman’s thoughts and said directly, “No.”
“Xi Xi, how do you know so much? Do you know Yun Chu?” Yao Mengqing smiled slightly. “I heard that Yun Chu has a proud character and is unrestrained. She has very high standards too. Seeing as Xi Xi and Yun Chu are so close, could it be that Xi Xi has an outstanding talent in jewelry design too?”
Lin Jie also understood what Yao Mengqing meant and hurriedly chimed in, “Yes! Miss Qiao, if you know Yun Chu, you must also know jewelry design?”
Qiao Xi replied unhurriedly, “How could I be as skilled as Miss Yao?”
Acold glint flashed in Yao Menggqing’s eyes as she said gently, “Xi Xi, I heard that you originally signed up for this competition, but for some reason, you withdrew. Since Yun Chu isn’t participating, it’ll be good for you to represent her!”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Miss Yao, do you find it meaningful to beat around the bush?”
Yao Mengging’s face was filled with embarrassment, but she quickly recovered and said affectionately, “Xi Xi, I don’t have any ill intentions. I’m just curious as to why you suddenly gave up after registering. Since you signed up, it means that you’re interested in jewelry design. Actually, the rankings aren’t
important at all. If you’re interested, you should just participate!
“Moreover, you’re Yun Chu’s friend! You must be very capable. Maybe your design will be favored by the judges.”
Lin Jie also tried to persuade her. “Yes, it’s rare for Li City to hold a jewelry design competition. Don’t miss this opportunity.”
These two people spoke one after another. On the surface, they seemed to be kindly encouraging Qiao Xi, but it was actually…
Qiao Xi was naturally able to see through Yao Mengqing’s thoughts. Yao Mengging did not see her name on the list, so she thought Qiao Xi had withdrawn from the competition.
Those who quit at the last minute either had health issues or did not have the confidence to participate in the competition. Hence, Yao Mengqing thought that Qiao Xi was afraid and did not have confidence in her jewelry design skills.
Hence, Yao Mengging and Lin Jie were taking tums to encourage her to participate in the competition. When the time came, Yao Mengging would trample on her in public and elevate herself. It would highlight the gap between the two of them.
How thoughtful!
Qiao Xi lost her mind and roared furiously. “It’s just a competition! I’ll participate!”
Seeing that she had agreed, Yao Mengging revealed a satisfied smile. “Xi Xi, the results of the competition don’t matter. What’s important is the process. It doesn’t matter even if your design isn’t good. You’re still so young, so you still have many chances to succeed.
“Jewelry design is different from other crafts. It requires a lot of investment. I don’t think you underwent formal learning, but you don’t have to be afraid. It’s normal to fail. Actually, it’s already very outstanding that you have the courage to participate.”
After a round of hypocritical comforting, Yao Mengqing turned to look at Gu Zheng. “It’s just a pity that I can’t work with President Gu anymore. I’m sorry to have disturbed you.”
Yao Mengqing and Lin Jie stood up and left. When they reached the door, Lin Jie said unwillingly, “Mengqing, what’s the point of comforting Qiao Xi? She won’t remember your kind gestures. In any case, you’ll definitely be the champion this time. It’s uncertain if Qiao Xi can even get on the ranking. She
might even lose miserably!”
“ah Jie
“am I wrong? Apart from Yun Chu, who else can compare to you? I’ve seen all the contestants this time. There are only a few famous designers, and none of them are as capable as you. You’re the most famous one. It’s impossible that the judges won’t show you any respect.”
Qiao Xi pricked up her ears and clearly heard what the two of them were talking about.
Yao Mengqing was so confident. Without Yun Chu, would she definitely be the champion?
‘If don’t reveal my identity, I don’t think you’ll ever shut up!”
Yao Mengqing was really an unkillable cockroach. She did not learn her lesson even after getting humiliated multiple times. It seemed that Qiao Xi had to teach her a fierce lesson this time. She would use Yun Chu’s identity to slap her face!
Who could compete with Yun Chu when she appeared?
