She's Hard to Get

Mike's clothes were very signature. If they were overdesigned, it would make people easily turn into dancing girls during the night field, but if it was properly designed, it would make people feel that they were noble from the inside out. Ning Caier's clothes belonged to the latter, so Ouyang Jue felt even more uneasy.

"He did give it to me. The necklace is a simulation for matching. It's not a real ruby."

The reason why Ning Caier wore this set of clothes was completely because it was beautiful, and because she had personally sewed the hem of the lace on it, she didn't think that it was anything special. As for her relationship with Mike, she had always felt that they were master and disciple, friends, so she did not understand why Ouyang Jue was so angry at this moment. His eyebrows were knitted together, and she looked at Ning Caier with a questioning gaze.

"You are now representing the TiaoAo Group, so you must wear clothes designed by us, Tian Ao, no matter where you go. Only then will you be able to increase our brand's visibility, especially at such a good gathering. How can you advertise for others?"

Ouyang Jue wanted to use the simplest words to ask Ning Caier to change his clothes, but he knew that if he did not explain the reason, she would definitely have a strong rebellious mentality and would definitely wear this dress to attend the party.

"This one is not bad, but it's a little hot."

Ning Caier saw that in the mirror, she had turned completely into a gothic aura, a cloak that was as thick as a cape reaching his waist, and a black tight-fitting pants along with a tying style high heels s. Only the handbag was a precious blue color, which could be considered as the only bright element on her body.

However, Ouyang Jue's outfit was exactly the opposite of Ning Caier's. He was actually wearing a silver-grey suit jacket, and this kind of material would have a very serious reflection under the light, it would definitely have its own fluorescent effect.

"You're not going with me, are you?" When Ning Caier saw Ouyang Jue change into this set of clothes, she knew that he wouldn't stay in the ancient fortress obediently. It was just that this was to set herself up as Ouyang Jue's example, and this place couldn't be entered without an invitation, so if he wanted to go, it would definitely be too late.

"Invitation letters are just a small matter to me." Ouyang Jue took out a card from his pocket. This card's color was slightly different from the others', and was specifically added later on. He invited Ning Caier, "Miss Ning, can you leave now?"

Ning Caier obediently stretched out her hand and put it on Ouyang Jue's arm. In the past two weeks in Italy, she had felt the most etiquette, and this gesture only showed her respect towards her male companions, so she did not feel that it was an overly intimate action.

But the same action had a different meaning in Mike's eyes. Ning Caier was his companion that he invited today, so this action of Ouyang Jue was basically fighting over the host's position.

"Mike, why aren't you going in yet? It's not good to be late."

Ouyang Jue walked over and put his arm around Mike's shoulder, using his arm strength to drag him into the banquet hall, and restricted his hands, not allowing him to take a step near Ning Caier. Luckily Mike was relatively small, otherwise others would think that there was a problem with the two men.

There were a lot of people that Ouyang Jue was familiar with at the venue. They all heard about Tian Ao's recent moves to expand and asked about Ouyang Jue's next step in his career.

Furthermore, Ouyang Jue's business was involved in many aspects, he had both courage and funds, so no one would want to offend him, but the passion of these people brought Ouyang Jue a lot of trouble, and that was that he had no way to continue watching Mike. Naturally, he stood with Ning Caier, laughing who knows what, but the two of them were obviously very happy.

Mike introduced Ning Caier to a few friends from the fashion industry, one of them was the judge of the competition, KC. This was a clothing design competition, the winner would not only receive a good prize, the most important thing was to enter the fashion magazine and become a Guest Editor. They would be able to stay together with the people who led the way, obtaining more experience and human connection than they could imagine.

KC greatly appreciated Mike's talent, so he was more patient with the people he introduced. He probably introduced the rules of the program to Ning Caier, even if he couldn't win in the end, there were still many opportunities to work with top brands in the world to publish single products under their brand, or design clothes for famous people. To a new person, these were more important than money.

Moreover, he had seen the anti-violence clothing that Ning Caier had designed. He felt that she had a lot of ideas, and that passing the first round shouldn't be a problem.

Ning Caier was also very interested in the competition. In this period of time, her sewing skills had improved a lot, but the competition's date was two weeks later, and the whole process would take three months. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stay for that long.

"Cai'er, if you are worried that your boss won't approve your leave, you can resign. I will hire you as my assistant and help you handle all the formalities."

Mike had always wanted Ning Caier to stay in Italy, so he immediately suggested this compromise. After the competition, if Ning Caier still wanted to return, she could also leave his shop, but if she won the competition, the prize money would be enough for her to open a New store in Milan. At that time, she could be a boss by herself, it would definitely be better than being a designer.

The Milan was the holy land of the designers. To be able to own a fashion shop here was the dream of every designer, so Ning Caier was naturally no exception.

But before Ning Caier could answer Mike, a cold voice came from behind him. "Absolutely not."

When Ouyang Jue saw that Mike had been talking to Ning Caier, he felt that something was wrong. He had always been a person who only focused on poaching people from other places, but no one could poach him from other places.

Ouyang Jue pulled Ning Caier behind him, and tightly held her hand. This was a state of extremely strong defense, so much so that even the surrounding people could feel the anger coming from Ouyang Jue's body. Especially the clothes he wore, which was exceptionally conspicuous, it attracted quite a few people's gazes.

"Don't be like this, this is someone else's private banquet."

Ning Caier carefully reminded Ouyang Jue from behind, the host of this banquet was a grand character in the design world, if something were to happen here, it would definitely affect Tian Ao's development in the international community, and all the popularity they had accumulated during this period of time would go to waste.

Ning Caier gently pulled on Ouyang Jue's clothes, and at the same time, smiled apologetically at the people around him. Fortunately, everyone did not understand Chinese, and did not know what they were talking about.

"Calm down, let's go back and talk."

Ning Caier knew that betraying the company was something no CEO could tolerate, but she really didn't want to turn traitor. She only saw the vast sky in Milan, and saw a design concept that was different from the country's, so she just wanted to finish participating in this competition. Once the competition ended, she would immediately return to her arrogant job.

But Ouyang Jue did not give Ning Caier a chance to explain, he immediately pointed to the door and said, "Wait for me in the car, don't come out without my order!"

"Ouyang, let's talk!" Mike saw that Ouyang Jue was really angry, so he did not continue this topic with Ning Caier and directly lured him to the side.

Of course, he could tell that Ouyang Jue's feelings for Ning Caier had already surpassed his boss and his subordinates, and had even surpassed his friends. But the more it was like this, the more he should give Ning Caier a chance, "I think that you should let Cai'er stay in the Milan, this place is more suitable for her."

Mike knew that Ouyang Jue's journey was about to end, so he decided to seriously discuss Ning Caier's future with him. Right now, she had some fame in the Milan, and her image was very positive.

Although this award could be considered dazzling on Ning Caier's resume, it was still far from enough. She needed some experience in designing for famous people as a brand, or perhaps she needed to receive some awards that were well-known in the design world. And the precondition for all of this was that she wanted to stay.

"I will naturally arrange for Cai'er's future. Even in the country, she will also become a good designer."

Ouyang Jue didn't like the feeling that this matter was out of his control. He would never leave Ning Caier alone in the Milan, especially with this Mike. He had thought that Mike just liked her a little, but he had started paving the way for her, and it was a way to get her out of the way.

"Ouyang Ziyun, you are too selfish. If you love her, you should help her fulfill her dream and not fulfill your own dream."

Mike had already seen through Ouyang Jue's thoughts, but he already had a fiancee. Since he couldn't focus all his attention on this girl, why did he have to take her and lock her up in his life?

Mike's tone was very serious, and his words were very intense. Although Europeans easily fall in love, they knew what loyalty was, and before ending a relationship, they had no right to continue the next part. And looking at Ouyang Jue's intentions, he did not have any intentions of cancelling the engagement right now.

"She won't stay. She already has someone that is worth thinking about. It's in the country."

Ouyang Jue knew that he was in the wrong, but he could not say that he and Bai Youya were only engaged in a political marriage.

In order to completely cut off Mike's thoughts of chasing after Ning Caier, he could only bring Han Yuqi out and tell him that Ning Caier already had a very good boyfriend in the country, one of the vice presidents of his company. Thus, she would definitely choose to go back.

Ouyang Jue thought that Mike would give up after saying those words, but the Italian designer casually spread out her hands. Ning Caier, this kind of talented girl with good looks, naturally had a lot of people chasing her, it would be weird if she didn't have a boyfriend.

"As long as Cai'er is not married, I can pursue her. Furthermore, we are talking about her career and development, so if her boyfriend really loves her, he will choose to let her stay in Milan."

When he mentioned Han Yuqi, even his heart was bleeding, but Mike didn't seem to have any feelings for this competitor. He believed that as long as he did well enough, he could kill everything in an instant.
