It's almost the end of the year, and a lot of work has already been completed.
Jiang Zhi is already in a semi-vacation state.
In the afternoon, he and Qiao Chu returned to Haitao Residence, where Jiang Tuo was coming.
...
Jiang Tuo arrived, but he did not get to see Justine as he had hoped.
"Brother, hasn't Justin arrived yet? Will he come?"
Qiao Chu smiled and looked at Jiang Zhi, "Honey, stop keeping me in suspense."
Jiang Zhi smiled meaningfully, pointed to himself, and said, "The person you want to see is me!"
Jiang Tuo also smiled, "Brother, sister-in-law, stop joking, okay?"
Jiang Zhi raised an eyebrow, a gentle smile in his eyes, "It really is me, there is no one else."
Jiang Tuo was stunned for a moment.
He couldn't believe it.
"Brother...you...you're Justine?"
"Is it not allowed?"
"Sister-in-law, you knew about this too?"
Qiao Chu's smile deepened, and she nodded.
Jiang Tuo was still shocked and incredulous; he hadn't come to his senses for a while.
Jiang Zhi: "I'll take you somewhere."
Jiang Tuo: "You guys are all amazing! You kept it so well hidden! So you were my idols! I'm actually with my idols!"
...
Then, Jiang Tuo and Jiang Zhi went to the wine cellar.
The door to the secret room opened, and Jiang Tuo saw a laboratory with his own eyes.
It contains state-of-the-art equipment!
Jiang Tuo: "I'm just shocked! This is so unexpected!"
Jiang Zhi: "I have been looking at and studying the things my mother left behind. I am also interested in perfumery, so I launched a perfume under the name Justine. After the car accident, during my recovery period, I also began to research new perfume formulas."
Qiao Chu: "Because of my pregnancy, I can't use many skincare products, including makeup, etc. We've also researched some cosmetics and skincare products with pure plant-based formulas. For example, the lipstick I'm using now is one I made myself. I think it works very well, and the color is quite pretty. It started mass production recently."
Jiang Tuo looked at Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu with admiration, "I really admire you. You are truly the pride of the Jiang and Qiao families."
Qiao Chu: "Jiang Tuo, you are also very capable, and we admire you very much. Last year, Tianzi achieved great results under your leadership. Now, Grandpa wants us to do what we like, and you can paint now. You are very talented, and your paintings can be sold for charity or used to raise funds."
Jiang Tuo was a little shy and smiled faintly, "I didn't think that much about it."
Qiao Chu encouraged him, "You will gain more and more recognition, keep it up! Sometimes, you can also go sketching and talk to children. Children are innocent and pure, and you will be very happy to be with them."
Jiang Tuo nodded, "I'll give it a try!"
Jiang Zhi patted Jiang Tuo on the shoulder, "We believe in you! Communicating through art is also a way of opening your heart."
Jiang Tuo: "Thank you for thinking of me."
Jiang Zhi: "You're welcome! I'll show you around our studio, and I'll mix a few bottles of perfume for you."
******
On February 5th, Jiang Zhi accompanied Qiao Chu to the International Fashion Designer Awards.
Before the match started, Qiao Chu needed to go to the restroom.
Coincidentally, she ran into Rong Yan in the women's restroom.
Rong Yan looked arrogant and glared at Qiao Chu with disdain and sarcasm.
"You're here to be an audience member? Or are you here to steal other people's inspiration?"
Qiao Chu washed her hands at the sink, not wanting to pay any attention to Rong Yan.
Rong Yan, however, kept talking and taking pleasure in mocking Qiao Chu.
"A third-rate designer like you is only good at hype. You're only fit to steal other people's inspiration and only fit to be an audience member."
After wiping her hands clean with a tissue, Qiao Chu casually tossed the tissue into the trash can, raised her chin, and sneered as she looked at Rong Yan.
"You remind me of a saying: 'To destroy someone, first make them mad!'"
Rong Yan's face darkened, and she glared at Qiao Chu with disdain, "You are not worthy to tease me!"
"Miss Rong is such a hypocrite! You're the only one who can criticize others, but no one can say a word against you. It's more unreasonable than barbarity; you consider yourself the standard!"
Rong Yan was furious and wanted to attack Qiao Chu.
In an instant, her female bodyguard stepped forward and blocked Rong Yan's path.
Reminder: "Second Miss, you need to go backstage to prepare."
Rong Yan glared at her fiercely, "Get out! This is none of your business!"
"Please respect the instructions given by Chairman Rong, Miss Rong!" With that, the female bodyguard gestured for Qiao Chu to leave.
With her around, Miss Rong Er wouldn't be allowed to act recklessly; that was her duty.
Qiao Chu didn't make things difficult for the female bodyguard and left first.
She didn't want to talk to Rong Yan either.
...
Rong Yan went crazy as she watched Qiao Chu leave.
She glared fiercely at the female bodyguard and then attacked her.
Instantly, the female bodyguard grabbed Rong Yan's hand to prevent her from hitting her and kindly reminded her.
"Miss Rong, today is the day of the competition. Please consider your image. No matter how shameless you are, the Rong family still has its pride, and the Rong Group cannot afford to lose face."
"I don't need you to remind me, get out!"
"It's my duty to keep an eye on your every move, I'm sorry! Preventing you from doing anything out of line is also part of my job, I'm very sorry for offending you."
Rong Yan pushed the female bodyguard, who then grabbed her other hand.
“Miss Rong, do you want to walk out gracefully on your own or do I have to drag you out? If you want to embarrass yourself in front of everyone, I can grant your wish. I only listen to Chairman Rong. Since he didn’t let me leave, I have to continue to closely monitor your every move so as not to disgrace Chairman Rong.”
Rong Yan's expression was ferocious. She struggled wildly and cursed viciously, "What an obedient dog! So despicable!"
"..."
No matter how harsh the insults were, the female bodyguard did not argue with Rong Yan and dragged her out of the women's restroom.
This is a privilege granted by Chairman Rong; we must stop Miss Rong from causing trouble at all costs and prevent her from making a serious mistake.
It was also Chairman Rong's instruction that they did not need to give Miss Rong face and should do their job properly.
...
There are people outside.
In an instant, Rong Yan stopped yelling.
She wouldn't want to be laughed at in such an important occasion as a competition.
She's aiming to win an award, and nothing can go wrong before that happens.
She remembered what happened today.
Sooner or later, she'll get rid of them and kill those two bastards.
...
Seeing that Rong Yan had stopped making a move and had quieted down, the female bodyguard released her.
The male bodyguard standing at the door also came up and followed Rong Yan backstage.
The female bodyguard also reported this matter to Rong Sheng.
Upon hearing this, Rong Sheng became very angry.
He also had a headache.
I just don't know what to do with this daughter!
That's incredibly stupid!
Yang Lijuan gently comforted Rong Sheng.
She was also troubled by her daughter's behavior.
...
After three hours of intense competition, the list of 50 to 30 has been released.
All participating designers went on stage.
Only then did I learn which designer created the work.
It was at this point that the designers found out who the judges were.
