Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Qiao Xi slowly took a few steps forward

The a.s.sistant turned to the side. “Is Mr. Gu Yao here?”

Everyone:

Gu Yao lifted his eyes, looking confused.

The a.s.sistant walked in front of him and smiled. “Mr. Gu, you accidentally left your watch in the office just now. Sir asked me to send it over to you. Sir also said that you like to drink latte and asked me to buy you a cup. He instructed me to add more sugar. Do you think it suits your taste? If you don’t like

it, Ican buy another cup for you.

“Sir said it’s better not to drink too much coffee. Otherwise, you won’t be able to sleep at night and it’ll affect your rest.”

Gu Yao pouted, feeling wronged. He wanted to bribe him with a cup of latte to have him take over the Gu family’s business?

However, everyone did not understand what was going on. Their expressions gradually tuned to horror. No way!

Didn’t the president of ZR like Qiao Xi? How did Gu Yao’s watch end up in the President’s office? How did the president know that Gu Yao liked sugar in his latte? He even got his a.s.sistant to specially buy Gu Yao a cup of latte?

Li Xing’er widened her eyes and looked at Gu Yao, then at Qiao Xi. She jumped up excitedly, her face flushed red as she shouted in disbelief, “Could it be… the person the president of ZR likes is not Qiao Xi but Gu Yao?”

Everyone gasped.

“Qiao Xi is just a cover. Actually, the person the president of ZR likes is Gu Yao. He invited Qiao Xi to hide it from the public and then let Gu Yao go as her a.s.sistant!”

“Yeah, the president of ZR has never been close to women. So, it’s because he likes… men!”

The news that the president of ZR liked Gu Yao spread throughout the entire hall.

Second Young Master Gu was stunned:

Gu Yao’s face tured pale instantly. ‘F*ck, do you have a grudge against me”

However, this was a compet.i.tion, after all. Gossip was just entertainment. Everyone quickly immersed themselves back into the compet.i.tion.

In order not to affect the designers’ work, the main door of the design hall would be closed during the official compet.i.tion to prevent people from entering and disturbing the designers.

Within five days, the designers had to complete a full set of jewelry. Time was quite tight, so the a.s.sistants were also very busy and anxious.

Qiao Xi was designing the framework when Gu Yao looked at her with admiration. “I’ve finally experienced the charm of jewelry design. If I were a woman, I would definitely wear the jewelry you design. Your work is too beautiful. Just looking at the design draft makes me think that it’s going to be

stunning!”

Qiao Xi carefully placed the gemstone on the necklace, which was very dazzling under the light.

Five days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Everyone kept the jewelry they designed and handed it to the judges to grade.

All the jewelry was placed in an opaque box, so no one could see the other designers’ works.

The partic.i.p.ants were all waiting backstage. After drawing lots, they would go on stage in order while models would wear the jewelry they designed to show to the judges. Then, they would get an average score based on the judges’ scores.

Backstage, some famous designers had gathered together to discuss. Newcomers like Li Xing’er also gathered with them to chat.

Li Xing’er panicked. “Qiao Xi, I’m so nervous!”

“Only a newbie like you would be nervous. We’re all used to it, and Qiao Xi is Yun Chu’s friend. Her design skills must be very strong. She’ll definitely get a high score when the time comes.”

At this moment, an eccentric female voice sounded.

The woman beside Yao Mengqing said arrogantly, “Jason, you’re Master Yun Chu’s disciple. You should know her friend, right? If she doesn’t have the ability to design, how could she be Master Yun Chu’s friend?”

Everyone’s expression changed, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

Jason was Yun Chu’s disciple, and Qiao Xi was Yun Chu’s friend. If they lost, they would be affecting Yun Chu’s reputation as well. This was a battle of the century.

However, Jason sneered in disdain. “Who’s Qiao Xi? I only know that Master Yun Chu has no friends at all. I think she must be lying just because she wants to forge connections with my master!”

Boom—

The entire backstage was silent.

Jason had never heard of Qiao Xi?

Yao Mengqing pretended to be surprised. “Mr. Jason, did you remember wrongly? Xi Xi wouldn’t lie. She said that she’s Master Yun Chu’s friend in public.”
