“After Yun Chu became the champion, she became famous overseas. Many designers wanted to acknowledge Yun Chu as their master, even if they had to be her assistant. However, she kept a low profile and rarely showed her face. After that, many people tried to learn from Yun Chu and quickly pleted
their design drafts. The results were tragic. Could it be that Qiao Xi…”
“She’s just imitating her. Yun Chu is a genius, so how could Qiao Xi have the qualifications to pare to her?”
Hearing the crowd’s discussion, Yao Mengqing was calm as she smiled at Gu Yao. “Ah Yao, are you here to help Xi Xi get the materials? I asked her who her partner was just now, but she refused to tell me. So it’s you!”
Yao Mengqing’s assistant snorted. “Why is Miss Qiao doing this?! She clearly has a partner, but she said that she was participating in the petition alone in front of everyone. Was she trying to show off and claim that she’s very capable? She even dares to order Second Young Master Gu around. She’s too
arrogant!”
“Lil Tong, don’t say that,” Yao Mengging interrupted, then looked at Gu Yao. “Xi Xi probably forgot. Ah Yao, I didn’t expect you to participate in the petition too. If I had known that Xi Xi’s partner was you, I would have introduced you to the judges.”
Gu Yao stopped in his tracks.
Damn! Was this woman trying to drive a wedge between them?
He had actually been deceived by this woman for so many years. In the past, he thought that she was gentle, kind, and not scheming. Hence, even if there was anything wrong, he would not think too much about it. Now, it seemed that Yao Mengging had done countless bad things behind his back.
What Yao Mengqing meant was that Qiao Xi deliberately did not mention her partner and pretended to be participating in the petition alone because she wanted to make herself look good.
Gu Yao narrowed his eyes. “Sister Mengqing.”
Yao Mengqing’s face was gentle.
Gu Yao asked, “I heard that your partner is Mr. Jason? Since it’s a two-person petition, why did you bring your assistant over? If an assistant isn’t considered a partner or a participant, it’s understandable that Qiao Xi said she doesn’t have a partner because I’m her assistant! I’m not her partner at all
because I don’t know jewelry design!”
The smile on Yao Mengging’s face vanished instantly.
Gu Yao… The second young master of the Gu family was Qiao Xi’s assistant?
Qiao Xi gritted her teeth and followed Gu Yao’s footsteps. She still asked in a gentle tone, “Ah Yao, did Xi Xi ask you to get the materials for her? Since you don’t know anything about design, do you know how to choose the materials? Do you want me to help you?”
At this moment, Gu Yao wanted to look into Yao Mengging’s brain to see if it had been damaged. Hadn’t he already shown his disgust? How could she be so shameless as to still e over?
Yao Menggqing saw Gu Yao’s impatience and smiled slightly. “Xi Xi is Yun Chu’s friend. No wonder you’re willing to be her assistant. I won’t disturb you from choosing the materials.”
After Gu Yao left, Yao Mengqing’s assistant said angrily, “Sister Mengqing, you were the one who submitted the design draft first. Why did you let Qiao Xi choose first? This is very disadvantageous to us.”
Yao Menggqing smiled confidently. “It’s okay. I’ve been a designer for so many years. I can adapt to the situation even without the corresponding materials, but Xi Xi is a newbie. If I choose the materials she needs, won’t I be bullying her?”
Gu Yao ignored the two of them, but he still felt that something was wrong. Yao Menggqing was letting him choose first. Could it be that she was up to something?
He turned around and glanced at Yao Mengging, then walked in warily. There should be no problem with choosing first.
If Yao Mengqing chose the materials Qiao Xi needed, then it would be troublesome. There were benefits to being the first to choose. There would be no conspiracy!
Gu Yao walked in front of the staff and wrote down the materials he needed.
For the sake of fairness, the petition’s organizers stipulated that after all the designers had handed in their drafts, they would distribute the materials at the same time. The designers could then start working on their pieces at the same time.
However, the designers who submitted their drafts first could reserve the materials. Those who submitted later could only pick from the leftover materials that had yet to be reserved.
‘When Yao Mengging came in to make a reservation, she saw Gu Yao’s registration form and glanced at it quietly. There was a special material on it called Spirit Jade Pearl. It was transparent and shiny.
Among the available materials, there was another material that was very similar to the Spirit Jade Pearl. It was called the Gray Spirit Pearl. The two pearls looked very similar at first glance, but the effects were pletely different. If one used this pearl wrongly, it might affect the final oute.
