“But the first place should be the top designer in the country, Wang Yanzhi, or the new designer, Ruo Lin.” Huang Shumin knew a lot about this industry because of her daughter’s involvement.
Qiao Jierou had the same guess. Wang Yanzhi and Ruo Lin had both graduated from famous design schools overseas. Their abilities were outstanding to begin with. They became famous in the past few years, and their strength could not be underestimated.
“Mom, did you really not ask about anyone else? What about Qiao Weiyang?” Qiao Jierou asked.
“I did ask, but my friend didn’t seem to have seen her ranking. I’m guessing she was eliminated.”
“Why should you ask about her? All her previous designs were inspired by Jierou’s designs. How dare she participate in the preliminaries?!” Old Madam Qiao said angrily. “Let’s not care about her anymore. Shumin, get the butler to prepare for Jierou’s celebration dinner tonight.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Jierou smiled slightly. She had studied all the designs in the folder very thoroughly and made many improvements to the original foundation, so she could naturally achieve her current results.
Qiao Weiyang was indeed capable in the past, but that was a long time ago. Now, her talents were exhausted. How could she surpass her?!
…
The Qiao family’s banquet was not grand, but there were many guests.
Everyone held their glasses and shuttled among the guests. They couldn’t help but praise, “Jierou is really a good child of the Qiao family. She’s been very hardworking all these years.”
“It’s not just for the Qiao family. It’s for our country this time.”
“Jierou is really amazing! When she wins an award, it’ll be the icing on the cake.”
Everyone smiled and praised her.
Qiao Jierou held Lin Heng’s arm and walked out. Everyone walked forward and smiled. “Jierou, congratulations.”
“Thank you, everyone.” Qiao Jierou greeted the guests gently.
“President Lin, you’re really enviable to have such a fiancée at home.”
Lin Heng smiled and said, “Thank you for your praise.”
“Hey, even the heavens treat you well. Look, you’re so handsome and were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. All of this is perfect enough, but the heavens actually gave you such an outstanding fiancée. Among all of us here, who can compare to President Lin’s good fortune?”
Lin Heng had a smile on his face, and Qiao Jierou was even more shy.
When Old Madam Qiao, who was sitting at the master seat, heard these words, she could not help but smile. The wrinkles on her old and mean face went away a little as she looked at Qiao Jierou and Lin Heng in satisfaction.
Sitting beside her was Old Master Qiao. He couldn’t help but smile today.
Old Master Qiao raised his glass and said, “I’m very happy that you’re able to achieve today’s results. I also wish you better results in the future. Don’t be proud. Stay humble and work hard. Better yourself.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
After saying that, Qiao Jierou finished the tea in her cup.
She walked toward Jiang Lin and said to her, “It’s almost time for my name to come up on the trending searches.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements.” Jiang Lin had been keeping a low profile recently. Previously, she was forced by Qiao Weiyang to post an apology on her WeChat Moments, so she had become much more obedient.
However, buying a trending topic for Qiao Jierou was not a problem.
In the entertainment industry, popularity was money and life.
Many artistes had to buy a few trending topics so that they could stay relevant.
Qiao Jierou entered the finals of the International Fashion Design Competition with a good result. This was definitely a result that others would never be able to achieve in their lives.
They had to make arrangements immediately.
Qiao Jierou glanced at Weibo and saw that she was already at the top of the trending list.
As expected, the fans from all walks of life were brainlessly flattering her. They praised her to the skies and earth, adding another mark to her achievements.
After Jiang Lin received a few calls, she said, “Jierou, a few reporters want to interview you about this. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to be interviewed at this time?”
“Sure, make the arrangements.”
Jiang Lin said, “They’re currently interviewing Qiao Weiyang in another hall. It’s about her new movie. Why don’t we go over later?”
“Why should we go over? Let them come over. It’s good that Sister is here too. Invite her to come over and catch up. Just say that Grandpa and Grandma invited her over.”
Jiang Lin immediately understood. “I’ll go over now.”
Qiao Jierou quickly walked toward Old Madam Qiao and Old Master Qiao and said, “Grandpa, Grandma, a few reporters want to interview me. Coincidentally, Sister is also here, so I invited her over. Is it convenient?”
Old Master Qiao looked at her deeply and said, “What’s inconvenient about it? Today is your big day. Let your sister come over. Coincidentally, I haven’t seen her in a long time.”
“Alright.”
Qiao Jierou smiled gently.
Old Madam Qiao was a little unhappy. She did not want to see Qiao Weiyang on this day.
However, it was not a bad idea to ask Qiao Weiyang to come over and learn from Qiao Jierou.
Qiao Weiyang was really too arrogant. She should learn from Qiao Jierou in all aspects.
Qiao Weiyang’s interview today was about the new movie, Bright Moon Night. It was a routine interview that involved the entire production team.
The other crew members made arrangements one after another. As the female lead, she naturally had her own plans.
She was responding to the reporters’ questions seriously.
The reporters’ questions were not deliberately tricky, but there were also many pitfalls. They asked questions like ‘Who do you think looks the best in the production team?’ or ‘Do you prefer listening to A’s music or B’s music?’
In this industry, everyone was paying attention. No matter how one answered such questions, it was easy to cause debate. That way, a huge battle between fans and anti-fans would ensue.
Hence, Qiao Weiyang maintained a high vigilance and answered the questions with ease.
As she answered, a reporter said, “Miss Qiao, we’ve also arranged an interview for Miss Qiao Jierou. Do you think it’s convenient for us to interview her together? This can save some time.”
“Sure.” Qiao Weiyang had a problem with Qiao Jierou, but she had no problem with the reporters.
They were just doing their jobs. As long as they could make things easier for each other, she would not embarrass others at work.
“Thank you, thank you. But I’ll have to trouble you to move over.”
“Why don’t you ask her to come over?” Qiao Weiyang had her own principles. When she could make things easier for others, she would surely take the initiative.
