Chapter 300: It’s very simple to deal with a person_1
I arrived at the venue of the party swiftly.
As per regulations, we, the designers who are eligible for the award, should enter the venue in advance.
I was a little nervous and went to the restroom to adjust my wig lest there was any mishap later.
After all, my wig had fallen to the ground during the tussle with Gu Yuanzhou, and it needed re-styling and a touchup of my makeup.
Unexpectedly, on my way to the entrance, I bumped into Ye ngyan again.
At that mont, Ye ngyan was holding a female staff mber’s hand, imploring in a low voice,
“We have seen them; the series from Tianjiao Company are not acceptable; they are plagiarized and violate the contest rules. If you select them as the winner, it will be a joke.”
“Miss Ye, this is a decision made by the entire judging panel. Although I’m in charge, I can’t change the result.”
“Don’t give that! I know the unspoken rules. All these competitions are a farce. It’s all about giving soone else an advantage, and whoever pays the most wins. How about this, na your price! As long as you can make the first, I’m okay.”
This is a great opportunity!
I took out my phone and recorded this scene, then swiftly uploaded the short video online, alongside a caption:
“The Chief Designer of Zhenyi Company attempting to buy victory with money at a Hong Kong fashion competition.”
The news had just been posted.
Ye ngyan looked up at .
She rushed over to , visibly tense, and questioned ,
“Song Xiaoyun, what were you recording just now?”
“Why should I tell you?”
Ye ngyan was furious, she stomped her foot, her face distorting with anger.
“Did you just secretly record ? Don’t deny it, I saw it!”
I looked at her and smiled, then said,
“Oh, yes! Such juicy scandal, of course, I had to capture it. What’s the matter, you did all this, and afraid of others finding out?”
Humiliated and angry, Ye ngyan started pointing her finger at , very aggressively.
“I command you to delete all the footage you just recorded!”
“You command ? Excuse , but I haven’t figured out who you think you are yet!”
When Ye ngyan realized threats were useless, she changed tactics,
“Give your phone! Give your phone, quickly, do you hear ?”
“No, sorry!”
“You shaless wretch, what did you record just now?”
Ye ngyan was livid, rapidly losing her patience.
She lost her cool and started spewing vulgarities, even attempting to snatch my phone.
There was no way I would let her succeed. I kept retreating while keeping her at bay.
“Actually, there’s no use even if you delete it now because the footage I took has already been uploaded online. Why don’t you take a look at it yourself.”
Hearing this, Ye ngyan was no longer in a mood to argue with . She hastily took out her phone and began looking for the news online.
Taking advantage of this, I left the scene.
I had achieved my aim, so why bother arguing with her anymore? Let her sort it out.
A few minutes later, I entered the award ceremony.
At this mont, the award ceremony officially began.
I was sitting in the third row from the front. On turning my head, I realized that Gu Yuanzhou was seated four places to my left.
Just as I glanced at him, he returned my gaze.
I quickly withdrew my gaze and sat up straight.
The host on the stage began presenting the entries for this competition. I paid close attention to this part.
In them, indeed, was the design Ye ngyan had submitted for Zhenyi Company…
Having taken a quick glance, I couldn’t help but smirk.
No wonder Ye ngyan secretly tried to bribe the staff. Her design lacked inspiration and creativity. It was ordinary, sowhat conservative and outdated.
She wouldn’t even be in the running for any worthy rank in this nomination lineup.
Perhaps Gu Yuanzhou must have stuffed a substantial amount of money into the organizer’s pocket to barely get her nominated.
At this, I saw through Ye ngyan completely.
A designer without a hint of creativity, she wasn’t the right fit for this business. I just cannot understand Gu Yuanzhou’s thinking.
Yet he chose her.
As I pondered this, the host announced the award-winning design.
“Our third place award goes to, a creation dubbed ‘Paris Spring’, submitted by Zhenyi Company. Alright, let’s welco our designer Miss Ye ngyan to the stage! Also, Miss Jiang and Miss Zhu from Tianng Company…”
Upon hearing this, I couldn’t help but curl my lips in satisfaction.
Oh, third place!
So it really was about money!
But, I guess, this isn’t the award Ye ngyan had in mind, is it?
Nevertheless, giving her this place is already a favor to Gu Yuanzhou.
And just in ti, Ye ngyan rushed back from wherever she was. Even though third place had three winners, she didn’t stand out at all.
Despite her golden gown from a top-tier designer, it didn’t suit her at all.
This woman was naturally not aristocratic or confident. Standing on stage, hands clenched together, her eyes darting around nervously- she looked incredibly out of place…
It was like a little girl wearing clothes stolen from an adult; lacking confidence, afraid of being busted.
For her, this award ceremony felt like a punishnt.
I got myself a coffee, took a delicate sip, and continued to watch the drama unfold.
Next up was the announcent for the second prize.
It was a French-style dress from a luxury brand. Although the style was a bit conservative and old-fashioned, it excelled in craftsmanship…
Competing here was, in itself, a way to broaden one’s horizons and gather experiences.
A lot could be learned here.
I often wondered, if Yinuo hadn’t had the accident, he would surely have been here with .
We would probably be hand in hand…
Caught off guard, Gu Yuanzhou had sohow seated himself next to .
Leaning towards , he murmured in my ear,
“Do you have any comnts to make?”
I shot him a disdainful glance and replied,
“Thanks to Ye ngyan, the standards of Zhenyi Company have plumted. Prior to Ye ngyan, Zhenyi Company had a fairly decent reputation. Now, there’s no difference between Zhenyi’s fashion and the boutique clothes from the market. It seems like you’re planning to cater to the lower-end consurs now?”
Gu Yuanzhou glanced at ,
“Are you belittling ?”
“Belittle? You’re over-thinking. You’re on the verge of being phased out by the market. Won’s aesthetic sense is very refined and foresighted. An unappealing female designer could lead a lot of female consurs to reject your brand… Don’t believe ? Just wait and see after the fashion competition, your company’s sales performance will plumt.”
Gu Yuanzhou probably wasn’t listening to my rant.
Or maybe, he thought Ye ngyan was the best.
He didn’t refute .
Instead he asked,
” Do you think your work can win?”
“No way!”
“You’re not confident?”
“Is it a matter of confidence? It’s clearly a matter of integrity! Mr. Gu, could you please open your eyes to see what kind of trash the woman you like really is!”
I couldn’t suppress my frustration at him any longer.
Gu Yuanzhou calmly responded,
“Your heart is too dark, the world isn’t as chaotic as you see it to be!”
“Oh really? Mr. Gu, you speak so nonchalantly. Try having your head knocked off by a car, then co and talk to about these big principles.”
My jabs were unusually sharp and my voice once again rose,
People around us heard and started to turn towards us.
anwhile, the host finally announced the na of the grand prize winner.
