Chapter 18 Contest, Betrayal

"Dear audience friends, the triennial jewelry competition officially opens today, and the judges and guests are invited to be seated below." A woman in a beautiful yellow dress with a wireless microphone, Manli's wavy curls and elegant Makeup, eye-catching.

At this time, the manuscript and finished product in Qiao Jiaojiao's hands had been handed over to the backstage management staff, and the number she drew was 44.This number made her feel uneasy. She quietly held the number plate and looked at the situation on the stage with her eyes, but her palms were full of sweat.

Suppressing her excitement, Qiao Jiaojiao was in a state of tension. All she could see were the various design drawings displayed on the big screen on the tall stage. No matter what happened next to her, she couldn't see or hear it. .

In the tall building behind the stage, Gu Qing had a stern expression on his face. He was wearing a black suit and black Bosideng leather shoes. Stereo TV.

The jewelry contest was being broadcast on TV, because Gu Qing knew Qiao Jiaojiao's temperament from the bottom up, and Gu Qing knew that Qiao Jiaojiao would definitely appear here this time.

Ever since I met Qiao Jiaojiao in the shopping mall last time, Gu Qing's heart has always hoped that Qiao Jiaojiao could call and question him, at least that way could show that Qiao Jiaojiao cared about him from the bottom of her heart.

However, this damned woman never even made a phone call, which seemed to prove that their wedding was just a dream, and Qiao Jiaojiao was still in a parallel state with him.

"Next, please take a look at the entry No. 43 and No. 44." The competition was originally for the convenience of the judges, so naturally the two entries will be compared together.

Qiao Jiaojiao stood in the middle of the stage with her little assistant full of confidence, and she could recite the speeches she had prepared for a long time.As a result, after it was played on the big screen, the people in front of the stage gasped.

A burst of exclamation made Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help turning around and looking back.

How could this be?Why is the manuscript and finished product of the little assistant exactly the same as hers!
Qiao Jiaojiao's hands were silently hanging by her sides, but her fists were inadvertently clenched.

For a moment, Qiao Jiaojiao deeply experienced what it means to be betrayed.She trusts the little assistant so much, thinking of the little assistant who was serious and down-to-earth in front of her before, and remembering the smiley and caring appearance of the little assistant before, Qiao Jiaojiao never thought that the little assistant would To do such indecent things.

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with frost. She looked sideways at the little assistant, but she didn't expect the little assistant to cover her mouth with her hands in disbelief and looked at her in horror.

Qiao Jiaojiao felt that this expression was all too familiar, and this expression was obviously the second Qiao An'an.

Then I saw the little assistant trembling and startled, pointing at Qiao Jiaojiao with tears streaming down his face and shouting: "Director Qiao, I always thought you were a very good boss, I admire you so much, everyone in our design department put I showed you the manuscript, but you actually plagiarized my idea."

The little assistant's heart-piercing words made the audience feel aggrieved for the little assistant, and pointed their finger at Qiao Jiaojiao.And this scene happened to be watched by Gu Qing. When he saw Qiao Jiaojiao's ring, he was surprised in his heart.

Gu Qing turned up the volume of the TV to the maximum, so he wanted to listen carefully to how Qiao Jiaojiao explained this matter.

"Boss, my sister-in-law is in trouble, do you want us to take action?" Chu Jingnian came in from the outside with hesitation on his face. These buddies were too disloyal and promised to help the boss share his worries. Now, they all shrank outside, Let him in alone.

"No need." Gu Qing's cold words made Chu Jingnian feel a gust of cold wind blowing, he rubbed his arms covered with goosebumps, and hurried out of the door.

A group of people outside anxiously waited for the news inside, only to see Chu Jingnian come out timidly, what they thought was that it seemed that the boss was determined to let his sister-in-law face such a thing alone.

No, there is something missing in the little assistant's ring!After Qiao Jiaojiao observed carefully, she suddenly discovered that this was enough to defeat the little assistant in front of her.

"The clean will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. Judges, I want to appeal." Qiao Jiaojiao turned around indifferently, ignoring the crying little assistant behind her, and walked directly in front of a row of judges.

The judges saw Qiao Jiaojiao's icy eyes, and knew the identity of this person from the bottom of their hearts. After all, the matter between her and President Gu was rumored, and they didn't dare to take it seriously, so they nodded and agreed to Qiao Jiaojiao's request .

Seeing Qiao Jiaojiao showing a satisfied smile, after leaving the judges' seat where they were, several judges felt that they took out napkins from their bags and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"Audience in the audience, please be calm and don't be impatient. What happened like this is really a mistake in the backstage. However, please keep your eyes open. We will add a new link next, to distinguish the real from the fake!" was called by the judges. The host, who had been talking in the past, controlled the scene with a smile, and then said: "Follow the order, then please tell the reason why you created this ring."

When the little assistant heard this, she was startled. Her face instantly turned from red to white, and she even forgot to cry.How does she know what the inspiration for this thing is?However, when everyone was shouting, the little assistant still tremblingly walked to the front of the stage and took the microphone handed by the host.

She looked at the ring on the big screen, and suddenly the words flashed through her mind, she said solemnly: "The inspiration for my creation comes from me and my boyfriend, because this ring is called 'fate', and it is a heart. type, so it implies that my boyfriend and I will have a long time."

These words moved the little assistant's boyfriend who was sitting under the stage. He stood up and put his hands to his mouth as if holding a trumpet, and shouted with happiness on his face: "Maureen, I I also love you for a lifetime, for a long time."

What a happy couple. I don't know if her boyfriend would stay by her side for a long time if she knew that Maureen was someone who stole other people's creations.Qiao Jiaojiao shook her head helplessly, this love came and went quickly, and the man's words were like a Rubik's cube from afar, turning back and forth, exquisite and full of faces.

After Maureen finished speaking, Qiao Jiaojiao waited for the host's words.

"Sure enough, they are two sincere lovers. It seems that the design of this ring is to welcome the wedding of the two of you. As the host, I can't help being a little envious! But..." the host said Said jokingly, but the words turned around and turned to Qiao Jiaojiao again, "However, we still have to be quiet and listen to the design words of contestant No. 44."

Qiao Jiaojiao smiled faintly, nodded politely to the host at the side, and took the microphone that the host took back from Maureen.

"Everyone, thank you for giving me such a few minutes. I will explain to you the source of inspiration for my design." Qiao Jiaojiao's glamorous voice spread throughout the stage, and the shocking power of her words made the audience The restless people calmed down.

Afterwards, Qiao Jiaojiao went on to say: "Everyone, please look at the big screen. In the finished tail ring I designed, there is an ancient totem engraved on the fingertips. This totem is a rose wrapped around a dragon, but the dragon Wasn't afraid at all, and held the rose in his paws."

Qiao Jiaojiao's words made the screen controller in the background enlarge the picture smoothly, and there was a pattern like this one inside.

The people in the audience who hadn't seen clearly before heard Qiao Jiaojiao's words, and suddenly felt the subtlety of the ring.

"This design drawing comes from an agreement I made with someone when I was young." Qiao Jiaojiao didn't know if Gu Nan was looking at it at this moment. She stood on the stage calmly, closed her eyes, as if immersed in the Average in memory.

"Once upon a time, when I was an ignorant little girl, I met a little brother next door by chance in the flower garden. At that time, I gave him a straw ring made of straw rattan, but At that time, there was a thorn in the grass ring, which stabbed his hand. I asked him to throw it away, but he smiled and said, "No matter how many thorns there are, as long as you give them to me, I will keep them well. Even with bruises all over your body, I will protect you forever."

Gu Nan, did you hear that?Do you still remember the previous agreement?At the time of the agreement, you said you would not let me get hurt, but why, why did you give your tenderness and promise to others, but you left the pain to me?Qiao Jiaojiao's heart was filled with sadness, she turned her face slightly to prevent others from seeing the loss in her eyes.When she turned around, her face was still as usual.

As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao's words fell, everyone in the audience was stupefied. This way, everyone could clearly see who was the one who stole other people's creations. Under the eyes of everyone, Maureen left the stage in despair, leaving The stage was left to Qiao Jiaojiao.

However, Qiao Jiaojiao didn't care about the applause from the audience, what she cared about was what kind of awards her work could win.

Gu Qing, who saw all this in his eyes, raised his big hand, and turned off the TV without hesitation.

"Everyone outside, come in!" The voice was deep, but it was clear that the owner of the voice was not in a particularly good mood.He didn't ignore Qiao Jiaojiao's appearance of lowering her head for a moment, but this was really beyond his expectation.

Hearing the sullen voice inside, several people were afraid that they would be dispatched to a distant place by Gu Qing if they took a step too late, and they would not be able to come back even if they wanted to.

"Boss, did you call us?" Mo Yunqing smiled, as if blooming, and the dog-legged appearance made the few around him couldn't help but want to despise him.

Gu Qing's lingering righteousness, exuding a kingly temperament that cannot be underestimated, made Lu Liuyun and the others stunned.

"Go and do something for me!" Gu Qing raised her eyes and said in a condensed voice.After he finished speaking, he got up, took out a key from his suit pants, and threw it casually at his brothers. Lu Liuyun took it over and was stunned, looking at the key in his hand with complicated eyes.

Gu Qing walked to the huge French windows, stared straight at the person in the middle of the stage who received warm applause with her eagle eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
