"I'm sorry, boss."

Yan Yudan first apologized to Ye Chen.

Just as Ye Chen was feeling regretful, Yan Yudan added:

"The teacher was unwilling to be the chief designer of Kering Group, and only agreed to hold a nominal position within the group."

To express her gratitude to Ye Chen, Yan Yudan wanted to go further and give up her position as the chief designer of Kaiyun Group to her teacher, so that her teacher could take the position and she could be an assistant or just an ordinary designer. However, in the end, her teacher refused.

Being a chief designer involves many responsibilities, and her teacher didn't want to be tied down.

"It's alright, just a title is enough."

Ye Chen nodded. That was enough; it was exactly what Ye Chen wanted.

Moreover, Yan Yudan's teacher is quite old. Even if he were willing to work for the group, his efficiency would probably be mediocre, and it would be enough for him to just hold a nominal position.

Yan Yudan did not disappoint herself and successfully completed the task.

It was indeed a very correct decision for him to recruit Yan Yudan to his team. Now she has even helped him invite an even more awesome international master.

"By the way, where's your teacher?" Ye Chen didn't see Yan Yudan's teacher.

"The teacher has something to attend to, but will be right there. It won't delay your business."

Yan Yudan explained.

"Okay, let's go in."

Ye Chen nodded, and then led Yan Yudan into the Kaiyun Group.

A few minutes later, Ye Chen and Yan Yudan arrived at a large conference room inside the group. At this moment, many of the company's senior executives, as well as Antonio and his confidante Janet Euphemia, were present.

"This is Yan Yudan, the group's chief designer whom I nominated."

Ye Chen introduced himself to everyone.

When the people present saw that Yan Yudan was only in her early thirties and so young, they all shook their heads. Almost no one in the audience thought that Yan Yudan was more capable than Janet Euphemia.

"It's you, the chief designer at Tiffany's a few years ago?"

Janet Euphemia also recognized Yan Yudan, who was once known as a genius in the international design world. In her early years, Janet Euphemia even presented an award to this younger generation of Yan Yudan as a judge for an international building project.

"Hello, Janet Euphemia."

Yan Yudan greeted her.

"I am fine."

Janet Euphemia's reply was full of hidden meaning, her tone revealing disdain for Yan Yudan, a junior colleague.

Compared to such a junior, she's a sure winner; how could she not be good?!

Antonio sneered repeatedly. He had thought Ye Chen would be able to invite some top-notch designer, but it turned out he had only invited someone who was essentially a junior to Janet Euphemia. Needless to say, the group's chief designer was definitely from their side!

"You brought all the design drawings, right? Take them out."

Antonio spoke.

The original plan was for the two of them to design on-site, but that would take too much time, so they changed it to designing a new product themselves and bringing the design drawings to the site for comparison.

Both sides took out their design drawings and placed them on the table, and everyone crowded around to look at them.

Janet Euphemia designed a diamond ring, which is exquisite, given her talent. Yan Yudan designed a necklace, which is equally perfect.

The people present were all senior executives of Kering Group. Although they were not professionals, they had some knowledge of jewelry design, and they whispered among themselves.

I think it's about the same.

"I think so too. I didn't expect that the designer brought by President Ye was so young, but so capable."

"The score should be a tie..."

The senior executives all expressed their opinions.

"What? Janet Euphemia's is clearly better."

"Exactly, Janet Euphemia's design is definitely better; Yan Yudan's is no good."

Seeing that everyone said it was a draw, Antonio immediately gave his confidants a look, signaling them to speak up for Janet Euphemia. After all, according to the agreement, if the two sides were tied, Ye Chen would be the winner.

Soon, the voices of Antonio's confidants drowned out the public opinion at the scene.

There were also some high-ranking officials present who were not Antonio's people, but seeing so many people saying that Yan Yudan was not as good as Janet Euphemia, and these people were Antonio's confidants, they could not say anything against it.

"hehe."

Ye Chen sneered. Things were indeed as he had guessed. Antonio and Janet Euphemia were just shameless and refused to admit the result.

"Mr. Ye, the people you hired aren't very capable."

Janet Euphemia mocked Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye, you've lost."

Antonio looked at Ye Chen, intending to reappoint Janet Euphemia.

"Not necessarily. We can't say whose design is better. I'll invite a master to judge it."

Ye Chen spoke.

"Master, what kind of master can you invite?"

Janet Euphemia retorted, "I don't believe Ye Chen has that ability!"

However, before she could finish speaking, Yan Yudan's teacher, Tammy Evelina, accompanied by Yan Yudan's senior sister, slowly walked in.

The scene immediately fell silent upon Tammy Evelina's arrival.

Many people at the scene recognized Tammy Evelina, while Janet Euphemia was completely dumbfounded.

“Master Tammy Evelina is the judge I invited.”

Ye Chen announced to everyone.

"So, do you have any questions?"

Ye Chen questioned Janet Euphemia.

Janet Euphemia immediately fell silent. If Ye Chen had invited someone else, Janet Euphemia would have jumped out immediately to protest and so on.

As it turned out, Ye Chen invited an internationally renowned master. She dared not have any doubts or question the qualifications of a big shot like Tammy Evelina.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tammy Evelina slowly stepped forward and began to carefully examine the two design drawings.

Once she assumes the role of Tammy Evelina, she will not favor Yan Yudan during the competition simply because Yan Yudan is her disciple, thus ensuring the fairness of the match.

Furthermore, Tammy Evelina was not informed which of the two design drawings belonged to whom.

Moreover, because she is her disciple, Tammy Evelina might be even stricter with Yan Yudan.

After carefully observing everything, Tammy Evelina looked at Ye Chen.

"Actually, the two pictures are about the same level, both considered top-notch internationally. If we have to compare them, strictly speaking, the necklace is designed a little more cleverly and is slightly better."

Tammy Evelina spoke very solemnly.

Upon hearing Tammy Evelina's words, Antonio's confidants, who had just been stirring things up, could no longer praise Janet Euphemia.

Janet Euphemia turned pale and suddenly lost her spirits. She believed that Tammy Evelina wouldn't lie.

"I surrender..."

Janet Euphemia spoke up, admitting defeat.

Ye Chen glanced around at everyone and then slowly walked to the front.
