206: C206 So That's How It Is

C206 So That's How It Is

On the unfolded blueprint was an earth-style dress with luxurious golden threads and a pure white veil, as dazzling as a princess.

In particular, there were some tiny diamonds at the waist of the dress, which attracted everyone's attention to the dress like starlight.

Catherine slightly raised her eyebrows when she saw the drawing but did not say anything. She only smiled and nodded, "Not bad. It can be seen that your technique is very perfect and the design of the dress is very attractive."

"Thank you for your compliment." Qiao Ya smiled modestly, "I still have a lot of things to learn."

Catherine looked at her and smiled as she shifted her gaze back to the design. She asked, "May I ask what the concept of this design is?"

Qiao Ya was stunned and said confidently, "I feel that girls are born to be princesses. Everyone can become the most dazzling one. This dress was designed to perfect a princess dream."

Catherine nodded and said, "So that's how it is, but..."

Seeing Catherine's hesitation in her words, Qiao Ya was stunned and asked, "Do you feel that there is something wrong?"

"It is not wrong." Catherine smiled lovingly and said, "It is just that I feel that it is not wrong to want to become a dazzling princess, but a princess... does not have to be overbearing."

Qiao Ya stiffened and heard Catherine continue, "Your design technique is very outstanding but there are too many gorgeous parts. Instead, it covered the radiance of the clothing itself. At least when I was looking, two-thirds of my attention was attracted by these golden threads and broken diamonds. I couldn't remember what the other parts of the dress looked like."

Qiao Ya quickly explained, "Because I wanted to design a pair of eye-grabbing clothes at that time, so I..."

Catherine smiled and waved her hand, interrupting Qiao Ya's words, "I am not saying that this dress is not good. This is just my personal opinion at this moment. Whether the designer was satisfied with the design depended on the designer's mood at the moment. Just like people, maybe we are thinking the same thing right now. After a while, the idea changed again. All in all, your design is quite good."

Qiao Ya smiled slightly but the smile on her face was already somewhat forced.

"Oh, right." Catherine asked, "Do you also plan to participate in the Gathering of Stars held by the Mofu, the Clothing Design Contest?"

"Yes." Qiao Ya nodded and said, "Although I have participated in many competitions overseas, I have also won many championships and awards. However, opportunities like this are rare in China. Plus, it is in my hometown. Therefore, for both public and private reasons, I want to participate. "

Catherine nodded and said, "It is good to participate in more competitions. You will encounter different types of contestants. You must absorb strengths from other people's designs. The more you absorb, the higher your achievements will be. "

"Yes, thank you for your teachings. I will remember it in my heart." Qiao Ya said respectfully.

After the two of them chatted about the design, Qiao Ya took the design map and said goodbye.

Just as she walked out of the hotel, she immediately threw the design onto the backseat of the car.

Her pretty face was already covered with frost.

This was the design that she was most proud of, but in Catherine's eyes, it was actually belittled to nothing.

"What design technique is not bad? It is clearly saying that I only have technique but no spiritual energy." Qiao Ya said angrily.

He actually said that he would let her learn more and absorb more. This was simply a joke!

She was a graduate of a world-renowned university. Back then, even the school's management tried to persuade her to stay and teach, but she rejected it.

She still needed someone to teach her how to design clothes?

It seemed that Catherine was also old and dizzy. She only knew how to take advantage of her age in design.

With a cold snort of disdain, Qiao Ya drove the car and left the hotel without looking back.

Qiao Ya came over full of confidence but returned home indignantly.

Qiao's mother, Yan Mei, saw that her daughter came back angrily and could not help but step forward and ask, "What is it, Xiao Ya? Didn't you go to look for that Catherine?"

"Don't mention it!" Qiao Ya said angrily, "What world's number one designer? I think she's a muddleheaded old woman!"

Yan Mei was stunned for a moment and instructed the nanny, Mother Li, to pour Qiao Ya some water. Then she pulled her daughter's hand and sat on the sofa. "Good daughter, don't be angry for now. Tell Mom what exactly is going on?"

Qiao Ya angrily said, "That old hag actually said that my design was not good and wanted me to absorb other people's strengths."

Yan Mei frowned and said," Did she really say that? "

Qiao Ya nodded, "My design originally wanted to be as dazzling as a princess, but that damn old hag actually said that no matter what, the princess did not have to be overbearing. Wasn't she talking nonsense? Which princess is poor? Isn't it very natural for her to have some diamonds and gold threads on her? My design is already very simple, alright?"

" That's right, that's right. " Yan Mei followed her daughter's words and said, "Daring to say that my daughter's design is not good, she also did not see how many people commented on your design. Could it be that she alone can match the judges of the world's elite universities? "

Hearing Yan Mei say so, Qiao Ya slightly calmed down and turned her head to look and asked, "Where is my brother?"

"Who knows, he went out early in the morning." Yan Mei helplessly said, "Your brother also doesn't know what happened. Ever since he came back, he has been acting strange. He had no interest in anything every day. Now those few families were in a heated fight. If he wants to, Qiao Family can take this opportunity to rise to a higher level. However, even though he knew everything, he was too lazy to do it. The company is always left there, and we don't even care about it. It's really worrying."

"I've also told him about this before." When mentioning George, Qiao Ya was also dissatisfied and said, "My brother's ambition is too small. He is always fooling around."

"No, your father still insisted that he was a person with great wisdom." Yan Mei sighed and said, "I can't tell what kind of great wisdom he has. My god, it's all up to you."

Qiao Ya smiled and held Yan Mei's arm to show off, "Mother, don't worry. When I get first place in this competition, I will definitely let you have a good time."

The next day, in the Mofu company office.

Sure enough, Tong Si came over with the contract as promised.

"Ji Wei, this is the contract. Take a look. If there is a problem, we can discuss it again." Tong Si said generously and appropriately.

"Okay." Ning Jiwei received the contract and nodded at Emma.

Emma also handed the contract that Ning Jiwei asked her to prepare to Tong Si.

Ning Jiwei said, "Take a look first. We still need to wait for someone."

"Wait for another person?" Tong Si was a little surprised. "Is there someone else who wants to participate in the cooperation?"

"Not only that." Ning Jiwei said, "She is both the partner and also my partner."

While they were talking, Emma had already walked in with Yang Yaru. "Director, Director Yang is here."

Yang Yaru walked in and looked at Ning Jiwei and Tong Si. She smiled and said, "Are you waiting for me? Sorry I am late."

Ning Jiwei looked at his watch and said, "You are not late. The appointed time is just right."

"That's good." Yang Yaru heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "I do not want my salary to be deducted just because I am late for work."

As she spoke, Yang Yaru turned to look at Tong Si and smiled as she stretched out her hand, "Hello, Miss Tong. My name is Yang Yaru and I am the person in charge of the Mofu's partner, RU. At the same time, I am also the sales representative of the Mofu, director. I heard that you are about to join our cooperation team and I hope that we will have a pleasant cooperation."

" Hello, Director Yang. " Tong Si also smiled and shook hands with Yang Yaru. She only looked at Yang Yaru with some vigilance and caution in her eyes.

Yang Yaru raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ning Jiwei without a trace. She did not say anything.

When they started to talk about the contract, everything else was normal. When she tried to see that other than Ning Jiwei, the Gu Industries had the most shares, Tong Si slightly frowned.

"What's wrong, Miss Tong? Is there a problem?" Yang Yaru noticed Tong Si's expression and could not help but ask.

"There are no other problems, but..." Tong Si paused and pointed to the shareholder portion and said, "I am not doubting the authenticity of the contract. I just want to know how much investment the Gu Industries invested and how much difference is between them and the Tong Family."

Yang Yaru looked at Ning Jiwei and Ning Jiwei indicated to Emma. Emma quickly passed another contract details to Tong Si.

Ning Jiwei said lightly, "Except for my personal part, the Gu Industries is the biggest investor. So their share here is the same as mine. Besides that, The Tong Family's share is also included in a detailed list. You can take a look. If you have any questions, you can ask them. "

Tong Si was stunned for a moment. When she saw the contract's details, her original doubts turned into shock and shame.

Although she knew that Gu Industries and other companies were in the east, Tong Si still thought that Tong Family would definitely take out the largest portion of the shares.

Now that she saw the details, she naturally had nothing to say.

She wanted to be Ning Jiwei's partner. The greater the share in the partnership, the better. Unfortunately, the investment this time was the bottom line that she could accept after discussing with Tong Zhaoyang.

After all, even if she had ulterior motives towards Ning Jiwei, it was not to the extent where she only wanted to give up without asking for anything in return for him.

"Miss Tong, do you have any other questions?" Yang Yaru asked.

"No." Tong Si said with a red face.

After signing the contract, Tong Si looked at Ning Jiwei and said, "Ji Wei, let's have lunch together. I also want to know the details of the next plan."

She used work as the reason, but Ning Jiwei did not refuse. He only said, "Okay, I will let Yaru tell you in detail."

Tong Si,... "" She did not want to call Yang Yaru over!

But she could not say those words again.

She could not say in front of them, "I just want to eat with you because I have thoughts about you."

Under Yang Yaru's smile, Tong Si could only maintain the stiff smile on her face and nod, "Okay, okay."

After the official business discussion, the three of them ate together and discussed the strategic deployment after.

Tong Si originally thought that she would find a chance to be alone with Ning Jiwei in the afternoon, but she did not expect that in the afternoon. Ning Jiwei actually directly handed all the matters of cooperation with Tong Family to Yang Yaru, and indicated that Tong Si could directly ask Yang Yaru any questions after that. There was no need to look for him anymore.

Seeing Yang Yaru's always graceful smile, Tong Si could only feel a black line on her forehead.

Yang Yaru and Tong Si spent the entire day dealing with each other. When they finally finished their work and returned downstairs, they finally let out a tired sigh of relief.

After a day, she had already seen through Tong Si's thoughts towards Ning Jiwei. With the principle of helping her best friend Jian Haixi solve her problems, Yang Yaru did not hesitate to accept the task of dealing with Tong Si.

But this task was not that easy to do. First, she had to stabilize Tong Si. She could not let her withdraw her investment midway. Second, he also wanted to secretly cut off the opportunity for her to get along with Ning Jiwei. He could not let her have any hostility towards him. Thirdly, the cooperation between the two parties still had to proceed smoothly and flawlessly.

Even Yang Yaru, an experienced professional, was exhausted after facing such a difficult task for a day.

When they arrived downstairs, Yang Yaru got out of the car and sighed deeply. She muttered to herself with a sigh. She said, "Later, you must let Haixi treat me to a meal. I have really helped her a lot!"

" Oh? What did you help her with?"

A familiar male voice was heard. Yang Yaru was stunned and turned her head to look. She saw George leaning diagonally against the electric pole downstairs. The corners of his mouth had a familiar and unconstrained arc as he stared at her.

Yang Yaru was puzzled. "Why are you here?"

"Can't I be here?" George said, "Whether as an old friend or as a friend, it is reasonable for me to come and find you."

Yang Yaru frowned and asked, "What is it?"

"Yes." George nodded and took two steps forward. "I'll treat you to a meal."

"I don't..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to go today." Yang Yaru wanted to refuse, but George interrupted her and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do. I can come and find you tomorrow."

Yang Yaru frowned even more deeply. She did not understand why George did this.

George shrugged and said, "You came to my territory. No matter what, I have to do my best to be a host."

Yang Yaru sighed and rubbed her eyebrows tiredly. She thought, "Did you not come to bother me again after I went out to eat with you?"

"Did I bother you?" George innocently blinked. "Aren't I being gentlemanly and friendly as a host now?"

Yang Yaru's mouth twitched. She turned around and walked towards the car by the road. "This is your car, right? If you want to eat, hurry up."

Seeing her get into the car, a smile flashed across George's face. He lifted his heel and went up.

"Where do you want to eat?" George leisurely drove around as he said, "We have quite a lot of delicious food here. There are also special dishes from all over the country. Let's see what kind of taste you like."

"Whatever." Yang Yaru yawned and said, "Just find a random restaurant at the intersection and eat whatever you want. I'm so tired. Please let me go back and rest after eating."

Seeing that her face was full of fatigue, George was stunned for a moment and said in an unfriendly manner, "Is this how Ning Jiwei treats you? You came specially to help. He can't order you around like a top, right?"

Yang Yaru rolled her eyes at him and said, "I did it on my own accord. Don't blame everything on him."

When George heard that she was protecting Ning Jiwei, a wave of jealousy that he did not expect rose in his heart. "Didn't I just say one sentence about him? Do you have to protect him like this?"

"First, now Ning Jiwei is my partner and also my boss. I have the obligation to protect him. Secondly, Ning Jiwei is my best friend Jian Haixi's man. I have the responsibility to protect him." Yang Yaru said, paused, and looked at George and asked," Who are you to me? If I don't protect him, will I help you? "

"I am you..." George almost blurted out, "I am your boyfriend," but before he could finish, he remembered that the bet between the two of them for a week had already ended. He swallowed his words back.

Yang Yaru also paused, turned her head and did not speak anymore.

Outside the car, the air was hot and human habitation flickered. In the car, the atmosphere between the two of them was frozen under the air conditioner.

After a while, seeing that Yang Yaru indeed did not have any intention of talking to him anymore, George opened his mouth awkwardly and said, "That... there is a restaurant by the side that is also not bad. Why don't we eat here?"

"Yes, I can either." Yang Yaru said concisely.

George was relieved. As long as she was still willing to talk to him, it was fine.

After the two of them parked the car, George led Yang Yaru into the restaurant.

Just as they entered, George suddenly stopped in his tracks. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly as he said, "What bad luck."

"What's wrong?" Yang Yaru followed his gaze and saw a beautiful woman standing not far away from him. She was the person she met at the night market last night.

Huh.

The corner of Yang Yaru's mouth curled into a mocking smile. She looked at George and said, "Do you want to go over and greet?"

"Uh..." George wanted to explain awkwardly, "That... The relationship between me and her is not what you think..."

Yang Yaru smiled and said, "I did not say anything, you do not need to explain."

George was stunned and looked at Yang Yaru and said, "You really do not want to hear my explanation?"

Yang Yaru raised her eyebrows and laughed at herself. "Please, Young Master Qiao. What is our relationship? What right do I have to listen to your explanation?"

"If you want the qualification, I can..."

"I don't want the qualification." Yang Yaru interrupted George's words and stared at him seriously.

The two of them were in a stalemate when the beautiful woman suddenly looked at them. "Young Master Qiao!"

Yang Yaru said with a cold smile, "It seems that today's meal will not be able to finish. I will leave first. You can be busy."2

After saying that, Yang Yaru turned around and left without waiting for George's explanation.

She had no interest in staying behind to be a third wheel, much less being treated as a rival in love, Mo, or any other sarcastic remarks.

Seeing Yang Yaru's figure, George frowned and wanted to chase after her. However, the woman behind him had already walked over. "Young Master Qiao, are you here to eat too?"

George sighed and turned to look at the woman who was pestering him. His eyes were a little lost.

"Young Master Qiao, what's wrong with you?" Seeing George staring at her, the woman thought that he was infatuated with her and could not help but make a more pretentious pose. She also got closer to George.

"So that's how it is." George laughed lightly and pushed the person in front of him away. "Sorry, I have to go now."

Then he left the restaurant without looking back.

When he looked at her just now, George's eyes were full of thoughts about Yang Yaru.

Even if he did not realize it in the past, now he did not have the time to deny that fact.

He did not know when, but Yang Yaru had already entered his heart.

That was why when he returned to Xiang City, he was not used to it. He felt that life was just like that no matter how he lived. It was only when he saw Yang Yaru again that he felt that his life had new blood.

George drove the car quickly to Yang Yaru's residence with a relaxed smile that he had not seen for a long time.
