Chapter 200 This is the original! My mind just exploded! [3 Updates]

Xie Manyu is a child star; she started acting in dramas at the age of eight.

If you do the math, this year marks her 24th year in the industry.

Three years ago, she won the Best Actress award for her role in the film "The Nameless Monument".

Furthermore, she won both the Golden Flower Award and the Golden Rooster Award.

A novel called "Investiture of the Gods".

In "The Nameless Stele", Xie Manyu plays the role of Empress Wu Zetian.

She portrayed all three important stages of life: childhood, adolescence, and old age.

Whether it's the pride of a young girl or the grandeur of her character after ascending the throne, Xie Manyu's performance is masterful.

This character is so deeply ingrained in people's minds that many fans still affectionately call her "Your Majesty."

Luo Ziyue herself was well aware that putting her name together with Xie Manyu's was like a moon landing-level staged accident.

Even if she were to criticize someone else, she wouldn't dare to criticize Xie Manyu.

But now the opportunity has come.

She hadn't worked for over a month because of what happened at Hengdian World Studios.

The young master from the capital city whom she had been trying to please only recently contacted her and asked her to walk the runway in Europe.

Even though she wasn't given any money, Luo Ziyue was still willing.

Who knew that good fortune would come in pairs, Xie Manyu would actually wear a replica of the Vermilion Bird dress.

"Quickly, release the press release!" Luo Ziyue was very excited, grabbing her agent's hand. "Great opportunity, I can get attention again."

The story of a big star bullying a younger person is always a favorite topic of gossip among netizens.

If used properly, she could easily climb the social ladder by stepping on Xie Manyu.

"Don't rush," the agent frowned. "Xie Manyu has been in the industry for so many years, how could she not know how serious plagiarism is? This isn't just a simple case of wearing the same outfit as someone else."

Compared to Xie Manyu's picture, no matter how well Luo Ziyue edited her picture from five days ago, she still looked like a maid.

"Because I'm not famous, Xie Manyu couldn't protect her rights even after she found out I plagiarized her." Luo Ziyue said nonchalantly, "Luckily we posted this early, otherwise I would definitely have been blacklisted."

Before the agent could say anything more, Luo Ziyue smiled and said, "Besides, Young Master Ke said that this was designed by his company."

"No matter how high Xie Manyu's status is, it's only in the entertainment industry. If those rich young men beckon, Xie Manyu, no matter how arrogant, has to bow her head."

Ke Shao, Ke Manzhu's nephew, frequently kept female celebrities as mistresses; Luo Ziyue was not the only one.

Seeing that her agent was still hesitating, Luo Ziyue became impatient: "I'll do it myself."

She first had a marketing account publish a press release claiming that Xie Manyu was bullying her, and then she posted a Weibo post herself.

[@LuoziyueV: I never expected that a newcomer like me would be valued so much by my seniors, but isn't it going too far for them to do this? I'm just a newcomer, and I can't stand in their way [feeling wronged]]

This Weibo post angered Luo Ziyue's fans.

Most of these fans are young, and especially after being provoked by articles from marketing accounts, they flocked to Xie Manyu's Weibo to make sarcastic remarks.

"I've never even heard of this Luo guy," Xie Manyu's manager said, laughing angrily. "How dare she say something like that?"

"It doesn't matter." Xie Manyu shrugged. "I experienced much more than this in my younger years."

"An idol who's so obscure dares to climb over you to get ahead." The manager was furious. "I'll arrange for public relations."

He got up and went out, then returned a few minutes later: "Manyu, the company said the boss wants to respond on your behalf. You can decide whether to reply yourself or something else."

"Give it to the company." Xie Manyu said without hesitation. "If the company can handle it, I won't bother."

The agent nodded and replied to the female secretary.

After receiving the message, the female secretary said, "Boss, Actress Xie said she's putting you in charge of everything."

Ying Zijing glanced at it, retweeted Luo Ziyue's Weibo post, and added a comment.

[@ChuguangMediaV: Lie down there, you're not even worthy of being a stepping stone.]

The agent and Xie Manyu, upon seeing this repost, were both bewildered: "???"

Their boss is a bit fierce and a bit biased.

Xie Manyu silently turned off her phone and turned her head: "Speaking of which, I just finished my work abroad and haven't met my new boss yet. Xiao Shang, have you met him? Is he a man or a woman?"

Shang Yaozhi said helplessly, "I'm the same gender as you, senior."

Xie Manyu not only holds a high position in the industry, but also has many suitors.

But Xie Yinghou has such a strong presence and high standards that she has remained single until now.

"It's such a pity." Xie Manyu sighed deeply, her eyes shimmering with beauty. "I finally had the idea of ​​getting married."

She looked up and murmured, "Are all girls this cool these days...?"

**

7 PM.

Inside the Qingzhi Grand Hall.

The movie screen descended, hanging in the very center of the stage.

The projection equipment above turned on, displaying the live broadcast of this final fashion show.

This was something Madam Zhong specifically applied for at the school after learning that Zhong Zhiwan had been invited to O Continent by Madam Mu.

Since Zhong Zhiwan can bring her honor, she should naturally promote her more.

As long as it doesn't affect students' studies and lives, Qingzhi will always meet the requests of students and parents.

Students from the gifted class all came, and many students from other classes also came.

They felt proud that their classmates were able to receive awards at such a top-level fashion design competition.

The arrival of Class 19, however, surprised the students.

Jiang Ran stretched out his long legs, completely blocking the aisle.

Xiu Yu stepped on his foot: "Make way for your sister, your dad, and Dudu."

Jiang Ran: "..."

Damn, he has no standing in the family anymore.

"Father Ying, please sit down." Xiu Yu patted the seat next to him. "You've finally been successfully persuaded by me to introduce our little one to you."

After Shang Yaozhi woke up from his coma last time, she even took him home.

After seeing the true state of his home, her maternal instincts were amplified.

Ying Zijin nodded and looked at the curtain in front of her.

The live broadcast had already begun, and the camera first turned to the judges' panel and the invited guests.

"Look! Look!" Zhong Zhiwan's deskmate shouted excitedly, "That's Zhiwan!"

Zhong Zhiwan wore a white dress today, which was just right for her age.

She was sitting in the designer's seat, and when the camera panned over, she instinctively straightened her back.

Zhong Zhiwan clenched her fingers, sweating nervously.

But she was overjoyed. The thought of soon entering the upper echelons of the capital made her unable to suppress her smile.

"Next, please welcome Hua Xiu from China, who will present us with an oriental-style dress—" On stage, the host read the script from cue cards, "Zhuque!"

"Please come in."

The music started, and thunderous applause erupted.

Luo Ziyue gracefully emerged from behind the curtain, her steps alluring.

She wore exquisite makeup, with very dark eyeliner, which barely managed to make the dress look good.

“Aunt, isn’t your nephew’s taste pretty good?” A young man sitting next to Ke Huizhu said smugly. “He can just wave his hand and get a free laborer.”

"Not bad." Hearing the gasps of surprise from the audience, Ke Huizhu was quite satisfied, but then warned, "But don't bring these minor celebrities home, your dad won't allow it."

The young man replied dismissively, "I know, I'm just playing around."

The entire fashion show and presentation lasted just over a minute, and the audience hadn't even recovered from the shock of seeing such an incredibly luxurious and stunning gown.

On the judges' panel, Martha picked up the microphone: "Next, please have Zhong Zhiwan, the designer of Huaxiu, answer a few questions for me."

This is the normal procedure.

There will be a separate score based on the designer's understanding of the design.

Madam Zhong noticed Zhong Zhiwan's nervousness and gave her a reassuring look.

Zhong Zhiwan pressed her chest, stood up, and gave a generous and polite smile: "I am Zhong Zhiwan, may I ask you something?"

“The materials used in this dress are all very common, but the design is bold and innovative.” Martha looked at her calmly. “What were your inspirations and ideas when you designed this dress?”

"As we all know, the Vermilion Bird is one of the Four Symbols in Eastern mythology." Zhong Zhiwan breathed a sigh of relief and explained slowly, "It is associated with fire in the Five Elements, so I used different shades of red."

"And the pattern at the collar, it's..."

Zhong Zhiwan spoke for five minutes straight, but after she finished, she noticed that Masha did not show any excitement or joy.

He just kept looking at her like that, as if he knew everything.

Zhong Zhiwan's heart skipped a beat.

"Amazing, amazing." The guests below, unaware of the truth, simply exclaimed in admiration, "To have such high design talent at such a young age, we welcome you to work for our company after graduation."

Mrs. Zhong immediately recognized the speaker as the design director of a Fortune 500 company, and she was very pleased.

She knew that the daughter she had raised was the most outstanding among her peers.

Zhong Zhiwan was flattered: "Thank you."

"The second question is, usually all four spirits appear together," Martha spoke again, "why did you only design the Vermilion Bird?"

"Because I'm still a student, I don't have much time." Zhong Zhiwan smiled. "I only had time to design one design. I'll design the remaining three when I have more time."

“One last question—” Martha’s eyes sharpened, “Are you sure you designed this dress?”

Zhong Zhiwan's heart pounded even harder. She pursed her lips and said firmly, "Yes!"

“Okay.” Martha suddenly laughed. “My questions are finished.”

Zhong Zhiwan sat down again, finally feeling less anxious.

But her back was already soaked with sweat, and she decided to go to the restroom.

At this point, the host began to announce the next entry.

"Coincidentally, it's also a company from China, but everyone is already quite familiar with it." He glanced at his cue cards and revealed a mysterious smile. "Chuguang Media, their designer was the first to send in, and the judges were amazed by their work, so they were used as the finale."

"Welcome Chuguang Media to present their meticulously designed Four Spirits series."

The familiar words made Zhong Zhiwan pause in her tracks.

At the same time, even more intense gasps erupted from the audience.

Zhong Zhiwan looked up and glanced at the catwalk.

With a "buzz," my brain exploded.

That's all for now, see you tomorrow!

Yinghuang is just a few monthly votes away from making it into the top tier. Those of you with remaining monthly votes, please cast your vote!
