Chapter 31 Have you ever regretted it?
Jiang Ranxing and Mia quickly arrived after getting their things from the studio.
The night before the competition, the organizers called together the heads of each participating design team to outline the opening ceremony for the following day.
There are twelve design teams participating in this competition.
Lin Xuesha's team drew tenth place, while Ember's team drew last place, twelfth place.
During the preparatory meeting before the break, Jiang Ranxing and his team were still making final discussions.
"After the preliminary round, half of the designers will be eliminated, and the remaining six will enter the semi-finals."
The studio's manager, Mr. Shen, said, "The preliminary champion will receive an extra reward: the opportunity to collaborate with top international jewelry brands on a new piece. Our goal is still to win the championship."
Jiang Ranxing nodded. They weren't worried about advancing; everyone was confident.
Jiang Ranxing added, "Okay, Xu Qingci is coming from the film set tomorrow morning, right? Mia, you go pick her up, and we'll get ready."
“No problem,” Mia stood up and raised her hand in response.
As night slowly falls, a fashion extravaganza is quietly brewing and about to begin.
The competition began the next day, and the entire venue was packed with people from early morning.
The scene was bustling with celebrities and media taking photos on the red carpet outside the door.
The venue was bustling and lively.
Mia felt a little intimidated by the large number of people.
"Luckily, you had the foresight to do it much earlier, and the styling team is already doing Xu Qingci's makeup. We have plenty of time."
Jiang Ranxing had already calmed down and was going through the process in her mind again to make sure there would be no unexpected problems.
“Okay, once the models have changed into their gowns, let Manager Shen take them backstage to the venue,” Jiang Ranxing nodded.
Mia nodded and asked, "Sis, where are you going later?"
Jiang Ranxing didn't want to reveal his identity, so it wasn't appropriate for him to show his face in public.
In fact, there's nothing here that requires her involvement anymore.
Jiang Ranxing thought for a moment and said, "I might also go backstage. I'll just wander around for now. I'm leaving everything to you."
"Don't worry, sis." Mia handed Jiang Ranxing the work pass that allowed her to enter the venue and backstage.
"Sis, call me if you need anything," Mia said.
"Mmm." Jiang Ranxing took the work badge, hung it around her neck, and left the hotel.
Jiang Ranxing arrived at the entrance to the venue and looked at the grand event in front of him.
This is a glamorous and extravagant arena of fame and fortune, where countless desires intertwine, constantly drawing people's attention.
Jiang Ranxing vaguely recalled his life over the past six years.
She gave up such a glamorous career and willingly devoted herself to a small family in a small house.
The dazzling gemstone necklace was transformed into an apron hanging around her neck, all for the purpose of cooking a meal for Fu Shenyuan.
The paintbrush used for designing was transformed into chopsticks for tasting dishes, to see if they suited Fu Shenyuan's taste.
Her once brilliant life has become a shadow revolving around Fu Shenyuan.
Now everything is slowly changing, and she is gradually coming to her senses.
Do you regret it?
She didn't actually feel any regret.
She tried to live according to her own wishes and strived for them. Even if the results were not satisfactory, she had still tried and been brave for her own wishes.
If you've persevered, there's no point in talking about regret.
So what if she and Fu Shenyuan didn't end up together? Not everything in this world can have a happy ending.
She loves Fu Shenyuan; it's a primal, instinctive love that she can't change.
Even after a long time, she may still be unable to control her instinctive feelings of love.
But there's one thing she can change: she's rational, she wants to protect her own heart, and she doesn't necessarily have to sacrifice for Fu Shenyuan anymore.
If the other person is no longer worth your sincere feelings, you can certainly take them back.
You have every right to take it back.
Jiang Ranxing smiled with relief, the smile fading into the gentle breeze.
She climbed the steps of the venue step by step, and with each step, she felt that she was walking towards her bright future.
The competition kicked off, and the venue was dazzling and splendid.
"Welcome everyone! I'm sure the designs presented by our designers today will cause a sensation in the entire fashion world!"
The host continued with the program, and Jiang Ranxing didn't wander around. Instead, he found a seat in one of the staff seats at the back.
She carefully appreciated the works of the previous designers, meticulously memorized each designer's design concept, and diligently studied their techniques to learn from their strengths and compensate for her own weaknesses.
Jiang Ranxing has been out of the entertainment industry for many years, so if he comes back, he will need to familiarize himself with the current fashion trends.
The saying "one is never too old to learn" really applies here.
"Are you... are you Jiang Ranxing?"
As Jiang Ranxing was intently looking at the designer's work, a soft, charming male voice rang out.
When Jiang Ranxing turned around, he saw a young man dressed in a very fashionable and avant-garde style.
Jiang Ranxing paused for a moment: "You are..."
The young man spoke up: "I'm your old classmate. How forgetful! I'm Feng Chen."
Jiang Ranxing thought for a moment: "Feng Chen from Class 4 of the Design Major?"
Feng Chen nodded with a smug look on his face.
Jiang Ranxing remembered Feng Chen. During college, Feng Chen was particularly infatuated with Lin Xuesha and confessed his feelings to her many times on campus, but in the end, they all ended without a trace.
"Are you... participating in the competition?" Jiang Ranxing didn't really want to pay attention to him, but just exchanged a few polite words with him.
Feng Chen said, "I'm from design team number eight."
Feng Chen glanced at the work badge hanging around Jiang Ranxing's neck and asked, "Which team do you belong to?"
Jiang Ranxing didn't want to explain to him.
"I just..."
"Ahhhhh, my goddess, you've arrived!"
Before Jiang Ranxing could finish speaking, Feng Chen shouted, his eyes sparkling with adoring pink bubbles.
Feng Chen walked past Jiang Ranxing and went behind her, his voice becoming much more obsequious.
"Goddess of Snow Veil, you've finally arrived! Do you know I came here today just to see you? I'm so honored! And this is..."
Feng Chen paused for a moment, then exclaimed, "You must be President Fu of the Fu Group! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Jiang Ranxing heard Fu Shenyuan give a polite "hmm".
Feng Chen continued to flatter, "Goddess, you and President Fu are such a perfect match! Should I call you Mrs. Fu now?"
Lin Xuesha chuckled, "Not yet. Shen Yuan said it would take some time."
Lin Xuesha deliberately spoke vaguely, saying that although Fu Shenyuan had not promised anything, she believed that Fu Shenyuan would not refute her if she said this to others.
Feng Chen exclaimed, "Oh my god! Goddess, please give me an invitation when you get married, okay? I want to see you happy!"
Lin Xuesha smiled and said, "Okay, welcome!"
Lin Xuesha's smile was impeccable and exceptionally gentle, captivating Feng Chen to the point of near madness.
Fu Shenyuan, who was standing next to Lin Xuesha, remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Ranxing looked at them, and her heart suddenly tightened.
Fu Shenyuan's attitude is already an admission, isn't it?
Fu Shenyuan still made a promise to Lin Xuesha. The title of Mrs. Fu hasn't really been removed from her name yet, and they're already so impatient...?
Although Jiang Ranxing had prepared herself mentally and often told herself not to care.
But when I actually heard that the two of them were going to be together, I couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken and unwilling.
That's an instinctive feeling of resentment towards the sunk costs already incurred.
Jiang Ranxing tried her best to control herself; no matter how chaotic her mind was, she couldn't lose her composure on the surface.
This is her dignity, her pride.
Jiang Ranxing straightened up and sat back down in the chair.
She heard that familiar, deep voice behind her; Fu Shenyuan's voice rang out beside her.
"Jiang Ranxing, what are you doing here?"
