Chapter 684 Unleashing a Powerful Move

News of the proposal spread quickly, and friends and family sent their congratulations one after another.

Wen Xi was busy taking care of Qin He, so the work of the studio fell entirely on Su Youling's shoulders, making it difficult for her to find time to deal with it.

Fortunately, Li Tingxi took charge of everything, and the children came up with all sorts of ingenious ideas, making it seem as if they were hosting a founding ceremony of the nation rather than a wedding.

During this period, under the guidance of Le Yixun, Su Youling revised her design drafts multiple times and finally succeeded in the preliminary round, achieving excellent results.

After the competition, Wenxi was overjoyed: "You're amazing! This trip was definitely worth it. Your design thinking has broken through the bottleneck. I just quietly inquired and the judges all praised your work. There are also quite a few potential partners who have already extended offers. However, most of them aren't very capable. I'll listen to you and carefully screen the clients for now, so I haven't agreed to anything rashly."

Su Youling nodded: "Being cautious is the right thing to do. After this selection competition, the basic competitive teams have been formed. All the major partners are watching and waiting. They have chosen our Wending Studio now, but they just want to buy a potential stock. They won't offer a very good price, after all, we are just a new studio."

"The semi-finals will be held after the New Year. There are still one or two months in between, which is enough time for us to observe and wait. Doing business is a process of mutual selection, so there is no need to rush."

"Look, you'll be the president's wife soon, and your tone is definitely different now," Wen Xi teased. "However, your competitors are not to be underestimated. Take the young lady who won first place today, for example. She's only in her early twenties, yet she has an incredibly rich competition resume at such a young age. Moreover, she's been a regular on the podium since her student days. She's simply a chosen one. This is the first time I've seen someone whose talent is even more comparable to yours."

Su Youling remembered the first-place design; it was indeed stunning, and it was hard to imagine that such a design could come from a young girl in her early twenties.

“Talent is one aspect, but hard work and knowledge are another. Compared to someone like Le Yixun who was truly born for design art, my talent is nothing.” Even so, she was somewhat interested in meeting this young designer.

“Don’t underestimate that girl. I heard from the industry that she’s known as the ‘female version of Le Yixun,’ and she has a whole bunch of gimmicks for publicity. If you’re the dark horse of this competition, she’s the well-known champion prospect,” Wen Xi reminded her. “Don’t forget, our bet with Ding Muyan is to win the championship. With such a strong opponent, turning the tide won’t be easy.”

“I know what I’m doing. Art and design are all different, and there’s no single champion. As the saying goes, there’s no first place in literature, but there’s a second in martial arts. If I’ve done my best and the result is still not satisfactory, then it’s because my skills are inferior to others, and I can’t blame my opponent for being too strong.” As soon as Su Youling finished speaking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. She didn’t recognize it for a moment and subconsciously took a step forward.

"What are you doing? You're not thinking of rushing up and starting a fight, are you?" Wen Xi quickly pulled Su Youling back as soon as she saw the girl's back. "Didn't you see that Teye chatting and laughing with the judges?"

"She's Teye?" Su Youling asked, somewhat surprised.

The girl had a slender and graceful figure with fair skin and long, slightly wavy chestnut hair. Unlike the other contestants who wore glamorous dresses, she wore a simple designer uniform with a black blazer, which was both lively and stylish.

Tee himself did not appear during the competition, reportedly due to family matters. He only sent his assistant to help the warriors, yet they still managed to win first place.

This young man is very talented, but... why does he look so familiar?

Just as Su Youling was about to go forward to find out what was going on, the girl left with a group of judges and disappeared around the corner, leaving people in suspense.

"I think she looks familiar, maybe we know each other."

"You only saw a profile and you already know him?" Wen Xi patted her shoulder. "Relax. We've seen it all. A competitor shouldn't make you so tense."

"What were you talking about?" Su Youling pulled her back to reality, noticing her somewhat absent-minded look, and said proactively, "The first competition is over, and you'll have a two-month break. You should really relax."

"Two months? Are you sure?" Wen Xi gave a wry smile. "I thought I was hiding it well, but I didn't expect you to see through me."

“Wenxi, Qin He hasn’t shown up at our studio for a long time since he was discharged from the hospital. You’ve been sleeping at the studio a lot lately and haven’t even gone home. I can’t help but notice.” Su Youling smiled. “I won’t force you to talk about your feelings. But remember one thing: no matter what happens, I will always be your strong support.”

“Even if Qin He bullies you, I won’t tolerate it. At worst, I’ll have Li Tingxi find someone to beat him up and teach this kid a lesson.”

Wen Xi quickly interrupted her: "No, Li Tingxi doesn't hold back. Luo Yi was beaten so badly that he can't get out of bed yet. He's holding a grudge and that's why he's been causing trouble in secret... You don't need to worry. It's not that Qin He doesn't want to come to me; it's that I'm the one who's actively refusing to let him appear."

Su Youling was surprised.

In the past, Wenxi was always the proactive and brave one when it came to relationships, which is why she was also the one who got hurt the most.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood this time, Su Youling thought it was Qin He's fault again. She didn't expect that it was Qin He who took the initiative to back down.

"Wenxi, what happened?" Su Youling realized the seriousness of the situation and, ignoring the familiar Teye, quickly pulled Wenxi into the car.

Turning around, she saw that Wenxi was already in tears.

"Su Su, I'm doomed." She hugged Su Youling tightly and choked up, "That bastard Luo Yi actually recorded that kind of dirty stuff and used it to provoke Qin He. I never thought there was anything wrong with dating him back then. Even though he betrayed me, at most I just thought I was blind and met a scumbag."

"But this time, I really want to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and tear Luo Yi apart, skin him alive, and chop him into eight pieces. He destroyed my last memories of the past, and he destroyed me now!"

“I dare not see Qin He. I know he is very worried, but I have no face to appear in front of him. Whenever I see him, I can’t help but think of those unbearable scenes… I just want to kill Luo Yi and vent my anger!”

"What? He actually dared to..." Su Youling's face darkened. She hadn't expected things to develop to this point, but at least one thing was certain.

Luo Yi must have realized that Wen Xi had the idea of ​​a long-term relationship, which is why he used such a powerful move to provoke Qin He.

Wenxi had dated so many people before, including some he was ready to marry, but I had never heard of him using such methods.

That guy was basically at his wit's end.
