"We’ll still be holding the third round of the test. Do rember to co early. I’ll give you so hints. You’ll have to create another dress and then find a model to wear it. Soon, we’ll be hosting an international fashion event here in Shengjing. That’s why we’re looking for new talents in the fashion industry," Li Shao explained.
"I see. Is there anything wrong with the Phoenix Coronet Dipped in Wine?" Qin Zhuzhu asked, slightly concerned that her creation might not be suitable.
"No, there’s nothing wrong. In fact, it’s perfect! I’m afraid others might be disheartened to join my company after seeing your amazing design," he said with a smile.
"Your company?"
"Yes. I’m the CEO of Li International Fashion and Design."
"Ah? You’re the CEO?" Qin Zhuzhu was slightly surprised.
The CEO of Li International Fashion and Design had spoken up for her and even helped her when she fell? Oh, she felt a little embarrassed!
"Don’t worry. You don’t have to stress about my identity. You can call Xiao Li, like you used to," he chuckled.
"Sir, the judges have sothing to discuss," Miao Qian called.
"I’ll take my leave. See you around," Li Shao said, smiling at her before walking off.
Xiao Li? That na sounds a little familiar. Hmm... She tried hard to rember, but nothing ca to mind.
She saw Bai Qianhua approach Li Shao. Not interested in what that White Lotus was up to, Qin Zhuzhu decided to leave the hotel first. Her job here was done.
Qin Zhuzhu texted Sanya and got into her car.
Sanya: You passed! Yay! This old woman is happy for you!
Qin Zhuzhu: Thanks. Do you want to go for a al tonight? My treat!
Sanya: So generous? Did you hit the jackpot or sothing?
Qin Zhuzhu: Going to!
Sanya: You decide which restaurant. I can eat anywhere, even roadside stalls.
Qin Zhuzhu: Are you serious? Are you as poor as ?
Sanya: I’m fine. I lost my part-ti job, but I found a new one. I’m not sure if I can get out of it, though.
Qin Zhuzhu: What do you an?
She added a confused emoji beside her text.
Sanya: I offended Shentu Mingye.
Qin Zhuzhu: What?! You offended the Little Master?! How?!
Sanya: Do you rember when I punched a man at the exhibition months ago? That was Shentu Mingye.
Qin Zhuzhu: Shit! You’re in big trouble! Why are you involved with the Shentu family too? It’s all my fault!
Sanya: Don’t bla yourself. I actually t him much earlier. Do you rember when I wrecked Xu ng’s building? I first t him there and accidentally sent him to jail!
Qin Zhuzhu: Sanya, you are really formidable! Do you know who the Little Master is? They say he’s very vengeful and ruthless. No one dares to cross his path. I need to think of a way to keep him away from you.
Sanya: Don’t worry about that. I’ll handle it well. I’ll find a way to defeat that Little Master and make him suffer! Ha ha ha!
Qin Zhuzhu: You’re still thinking of making him suffer? Sanya, ah Sanya, you’re really sothing. See you soon.
After that, Qin Zhuzhu hesitated whether should she ssage Shentu Jing or not. In the end, she ended up telling him of her success.
Qin Zhuzhu: How are you? Is everything going fine?
She waited for him to reply but he wasn’t online. Perhaps he was busy. She drove to the house where her mother was living with her uncle, Song Muci. She rang the doorbell.
Song Ping was delighted to see her daughter.
"Mom, I bought you so nourishing soup. These days, your health hasn’t been good. You should stay ho and take care of yourself more. Let Uncle Muci and handle the work, okay?"
Song Ping took her hands and squeezed them lightly.
"Mother doesn’t want to beco a burden to you. My body’s still healthy. See? I can walk and run."
Qin Zhuzhu wasn’t convinced.
"Mom, just listen to . Take care of your health. You don’t need to do so much work anymore. Your daughter can support this little family."
"Okay. But I still have to do sothing. I can’t bear to stay idle. It’s not like you don’t know ," Song Ping gave in to Qin Zhuzhu’s pleading.
"Okay! I’ll let Uncle Muci arrange lighter tasks for you!" Qin Zhuzhu threw her arms around her mother and hugged her.

At the hotpot restaurant:
Qin Zhuzhu and Sanya were seated at a round table where a pot of spicy soup was boiling. at and vegetable ingredients were laid out on the table before them.
"I think the heavens saw a good little fairy and decided to bestow her a parcel," Sanya said, offering her ridiculous explanation.
"What good fairy? Haven’t you forgotten I’m the Goddess of Wine?" Qin Zhuzhu joked.
She wondered who had sent that parcel. It had been the key to helping her out of her predicant. The parcel contained materials and supplies essential for making dresses.
Sanya and Qin Zhuzhu were busy chatting and discussing their future. They didn’t notice a man watching them from the far corner.
"Qin Zhuzhu?"
Qin Zhuzhu and Sanya looked up to see Xu ng standing in front of their table. Bai Qianhua was behind him. It seed like they were there for a al too.
The man in the far corner watched their interaction with a stoic expression.
"Nice to et you, Sister Qin and Sister Sanya," Bai Qianhua said in a ek voice.
What a mood spoiler! Sanya lost her appetite just by seeing Bai Qianhua. She set her chopsticks down with a bang.
"What are you doing here? Stalking us?" Sanya said rudely. She felt it wasn’t worth showing respect to soone who cheated to ensure their opponents didn’t pass the test.
"Qianhua was selected for the third round of the test. We’re here to celebrate and have dinner. Since Qianhua can’t handle spicy food, I ordered so light dishes," Xu ng said.
"Why are you telling this? Don’t ruin my mood," Qin Zhuzhu said, her tone suddenly cold. The way she gazed at them made it seem like she could strangle them to death.
Xu ng was aware of her displeasure.
