The title of design director was very important for Nian Cheng’s specialization in the market.

“Even though this beautiful woman is wearing a mask, she looks really elegant.”

“Isn’t that so? Even the Second Miss of the Xie family is inferior.”

“Isn’t it all based on skill? Are you able to see the abilities of her through the mask? Looks-obsessed things.”

“—”

Xie Zhizhi naturally heard the discussions below the stage. She clenched her fists tightly. She had specially sent people to investigate this person who appeared out of nowhere, but she had gotten nothing.

The position of the design director of Nian Cheng Corporation was something she had to achieve. This was an important part contributing to whether her father could be seen and valued by the board of directors. If she failed, her father would beat her to death.

Therefore, she had to get the position of the design director.

“Our topic is the plum blossom. The plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are known as four gentlemen in the Chinese classic literature of our country. Is there a deeper meaning behind this? Let’s see how our future designers will design it.”

Xie Zhizhi obviously knew what this question meant. This was the main theme of the Nian Cheng Corporation’s next project. The directors had worked really hard for the plans to fill the position of the design director.

“Look, has Second Ms. Xie already came up with the idea? She’s really someone who’s both talented and beautiful. She’s much better than those who hide their appearances.”

There is no concealment of this person’s words. As long as you weren’t deaf, you could hear him. In response, Xie Nian smiled and didn’t refute him.

She only kept wiping the materials prepared by the organizer. Seeing this, everyone turned their attention away from Xie Nian.

“What is happening here?”

“President, the Nian Cheng Corporation has rented the venue in Turquoise and is holding a designer competition here. The winner will instantly receive the position of the design director of Nian Cheng Corporation.”

Ruan Mu looked at Xie Nian who was in the competition venue coldly. Why did this woman give him a familiar feeling?

“Oh.”

Chen Hao had originally thought that the president would just turn around and leave. He didn’t expect him to start looking at her there and then, and his gaze seemed to be a little flirtatious. Could this be the first love of the president, who never ever got close to women?

“There’s a time limit for our competition. All contestants must make use of their own time reasonably.” The host looked at Xie Nian, who still hadn’t taken any actions, and reminded her.

Xie Nian sighed slightly before starting on her work. However, her movements became even slower. As time passed, everyone gave up on Xie Nian.

“Chen Hao, who do you think will win?”

Chen Hao glanced at the stage. Everyone could see that Xie Zhizhi’s work had almost been completed. Although it wasn’t impressive, it was still quite satisfactory.

“Second Ms. Xie’s work looks a little better than the rest.”

Ruan Mu scoffed and said, “How can you lay your eyes on a trash like this? It looks like you need to be brought back for more training.”

“President, on this, this stage, only Ms. Xie is about to complete her work. I don’t really agree with her design either.” Chen Hao’s lips curled. “What do you think, President?”

“Me? It’s the one with the mask, of course.”

Chen Hao took a glance at Ruan Mu and cursed him in his heart. Didn’t they say that the president didn’t like women? Why was he still someone who only focused on the looks? But this wasn’t his image as the president.

At that moment, Xie Nian placed the paintbrush in her hand on the shelf beside her. She flicked the dust off her body and stood up.

She looked up at the second floor. Just now, she had a feeling that someone was looking at her from there, but when she looked over, there was no one. Could it have been her imagination?

“President, why aren’t you watching anymore? It’s the last stage.”

“The results are already out, there’s no need to watch any further.”

Chen Hao scratched his head. The results were already out?

Wasn’t there no conclusion yet? Seems like it was really as he had thought. It must be Ms. Xie who had won the final victory.

The president must have stopped watching as he did not want to embarrass himself. As an experienced secretary, he must save some face for his superior.

“Why? You don’t believe me? I’ll give you ten minutes.”

“Yes, thank you president.”

The results at the scene did not seem to have aroused much reaction from the audience. As the three of the participants had not completed their work in time, they naturally did not have the chance to be the design director.

As for the remaining two people, there was probably no doubt about who would win.

“Hello, judges. My work uses an ancient method that vividly portrays the Gentleman’s Plum…”

Xie Zhizhi’s work was not outstanding, but they could not find any faults with it. The few judges looked at each other and gave an average of 8.5 marks. If nothing went wrong, she should be the winner today.

“Next is the work of our last contestant. The name of it is ‘Cold’..”
