Hearing his roar, Li Xing’er frowned unhappily and said softly, “Qiao Xi, I think this person is crazy. You have to be careful. He might do something.”
Qiao Xi held the trophy and smiled meaningfully. “Yun Chu is in Li City right now.”
Li Xing’er exclaimed, “Ah? What should we do, then? If Jason really complains to Yun Chu and Yun Chu speaks up for Jason, will the judges revoke your championship title and let Yao Mengqing have the title? What should we do?”
“One more thing, I heard that before the competition, Yao Mengqing said that she wanted to sell her designs. They’ll be the flagship products for Sunshine’s next season. She didn’t even win the championship. How dare she sell them?”
Qiao Xi was slightly stunned. “Yao Mengging wanted her designs for the competition to be put into the production line?”
She suddenly had a good idea. This time, she couldn’t be blamed. It was Yao Mengqing who delivered herself to her door!
At this moment, Gu Zheng was sitting lazily on a chair. A group of people was standing not far away from him, maintaining a distance from him. However, their faces were still filled with solicitousness.
“Mrr. Ye, the champion of this competition is indeed very impressive. Miss Qiao Xi’s work is perfect. The set of jewelry she designed is very suitable to be the first batch of jewelry for the next season.”
Another person refuted, “But Qiao Xi is just a newcomer. She doesn’t have much fame. If we promote her work first, I’m afraid many people won’t buy it. Although Yao Mengging lost, she has some influence internationally, after all. The jewelry she made will definitely sell well.”
“But before the competition, we already said that we’d put the champion’s work into production. Yao Mengging didn’t win. If we sign a contract with her, wouldn’t we be breaking our promise?”
“But if we don’t sign Yao Mengging, she’ll produce her designs this time under Sunshine for their next season. This will affect our interests.”
Everyone expressed their opinions, but they could not come to a definite conclusion in the end. Hence, they looked at Mr. Ye.
The man lifted his eyes slowly and sneered. “So, if ZR doesn’t sign a contract with Yao Mengging, she’ll release her designs under Sunshine?”
Everyone nodded. “That’s right.”
“Heh.”
Gu Zheng scoffed lightly. “Since that’s the case, let’s satisfy her. Let her bring her work back to Sunshine. She won’t have anything to do with ZR anymore.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they understood what Mr. Ye meant.
Longwan Residential.
Qiao Xi had long since heard that Yao Mengging would bring her designs from this competition back to Sunshine and sell them in batches after the finished products were made.
Since she did not win the championship, this set of jewelry could not be sold as a masterpiece. It could only be placed on the display counter like other jewelry pieces for people to browse from.
The price would be much lower as well. However, they could be mass-produced and Yao Mengging could earn a small sum.
Qiao Xi smiled disdainfully. She had long since felt that Yao Mengging’s work was somewhat familiar, and only later on did she recall that it was a draft she had drawn many years ago. She lost the physical copy somewhere, but all her drafts were saved on her computer.
She turned on the computer and tapped on the keyboard. Soon, she found the draft.
At this moment, downstairs.
The sound of a car engine came from outside, followed by the butler’s voice. “President, you’re back.”
Gu Zheng nodded and asked, “Where’s Young Madam?”
“Madam went back to her room as soon as she came back.”
Just as Gu Zheng was about to go upstairs and knock on the door, Qiao Xi stood up and rushed over, saying sweetly, “Ah Zheng~”
The butler’s mouth twitched slightly. He saw his boss holding his wife’s hand as they entered the door and slammed it shut.
Qiao Xi said shyly, “Ah Zheng, we’ll sign the contract now, alright?”
Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what she meant, but his expression remained calm. “Sign what?”
Qiao Xi tugged at him and said coquettishly, “Stop fooling around! Didn’t we agree before? I’ll sign a contract with Gu Corporation as Yun Chu.”
“Oh,” Gu Zheng replied casually and nodded. “Yes, we did agree, but that was a few days ago. I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days…”
The smile on Qiao Xi’s face gradually vanished.
Why? Was Gu Zheng going back on his word?
