Chapter 35 I just want to love him
Lin Xuesha fantasized about Ember being trampled under her feet.
The genius designer will fall from grace today, and from now on, Lin Xuesha will be the only one at the top of the fashion world.
But after a while, when Xu Qingci stood on the stage, Lin Xuesha suddenly couldn't think that way anymore.
People around who saw the artwork started discussing it.
"My God! What kind of design is this? I've never seen anything like it before. It's so bold and imaginative!"
"It's truly amazing. The comeback of this talented designer who has been dormant for many years is so astonishing. Ember is indeed Ember, she really has the ability!"
"How did Ember come up with the idea of combining Neo-Chinese style with punk rock elements? These two elements seem completely mismatched, yet Ember has blended them together so well! She's amazing."
"Yes, didn't Xu Qingci get injured while filming and doing wire work a while ago? She has wounds on her neck and legs. Now, when these wounds are combined with this dress, it actually creates a kind of stubborn, battle-worn beauty that refuses to give up. It's so wonderful."
"Yes, I was wondering how Ember would treat Xu Qingci's wound. I never expected that a wound could become art. Ember is a genius!"
Lin Xuesha was furious as she listened to the endless praise Ember from the mainstream figures in the back row.
"Wait a minute, isn't the pattern on Ember's dress somewhat similar to Lin Xuesha's? Take a look."
"Let me see, it really is! What a coincidence that these two people have the same line of thinking. Could it be plagiarism?"
"Perhaps designers share inspiration, but compared to Ember, Lin Xuesha's dress, although beautiful, seems too ordinary and petty. I still prefer Ember's artwork."
"I also like Ember's design; it's such an unexpected surprise."
The loudest applause since the start of the competition erupted from the audience, and words of praise poured out from everyone's mouths.
Lin Xuesha's expression grew increasingly grim.
Jiang Ranxing also came out from backstage at this time. Looking at Xu Qingci on stage, confidently and calmly showing off her dress, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Ranxing felt reassured and relaxed.
Mia also came out and kept praising them.
"Sis, you're amazing! I thought you were already great at design, but I never imagined you could recreate such a masterpiece in such a short time. I'm so impressed!"
Jiang Ranxing smiled calmly at her.
This is because she had received such specialized training before.
"Before we got married, Ms. Zhou was very strict with me. She said that as her student, I not only had to be able to make good designs, but also had to be able to deal with emergencies."
Jiang Ranxing recalled the time before her marriage, when she would stay in the design studio for days and nights in a row, just to complete a good design.
While Zhou Yinxiu treated her very well in daily life, she also had very high requirements for her professional skills.
Of course, Jiang Ranxing himself was determined to prove himself, saying that if he said he could do it, he definitely could.
Even when he locked himself in the design room working day and night, he never slacked off.
As it turns out, heaven never fails to reward your efforts; this has always been the case.
“Even geniuses aren’t born knowing everything. If they don’t work hard, they’ll lose their talent, just like Zhong Yong who was wasted his talent,” Jiang Ranxing said calmly, his eyes fixed on Xu Qingci with admiration.
It's not just an appreciation of Xu Qingci porcelain, but also an appreciation of one's own efforts.
"Mia, that's why hard work is so important, in every industry."
Jiang Ranxing continued.
Mia listened carefully and memorized everything.
From that moment on, Jiang Ranxing became her teacher.
Mia glanced at Fu Shenyuan again.
Fu Shenyuan was turning his head to comfort Lin Xuesha, and he looked like he was feeling sorry for her.
Mia asked Jiang Ranxing, "Sister, I find it hard to believe that a hardworking and talented designer like you would give up your career just to marry Fu Shenyuan."
"If I hadn't actually experienced it myself, I really wouldn't have believed it; it's too unbelievable."
In Mia's opinion, if Jiang Ranxing was someone who worked so hard for his career in the past, how could he easily give up his career for someone who didn't love him?
Mia considered this to be an extremely irrational act.
Looking at Fu Shenyuan, Jiang Ranxing felt as if countless ants were gnawing at her heart, making her very uncomfortable.
"Yes, at the time I only thought that I liked Fu Shenyuan and wanted to marry him. I was willing to give up anything for love."
The host interviewed Manager Shen, who was standing in for Ember on stage. Manager Shen was giving a professional and official introduction to Ember's design concept.
The audience erupted in applause.
Jiang Ranxing continued calmly, "For love, I offended Teacher Zhou. At the time, I wouldn't listen to a word of what Teacher Zhou advised me. I was completely out of my mind."
Jiang Ranxing recalled that night six years ago.
Zhou Yinxiu specially prepared a table full of dishes for Jiang Ranxing that day, all of which were Jiang Ranxing's favorite foods.
Jiang Ranxing didn't touch her chopsticks, but firmly handed over her resignation letter—at the time, she was also working in Zhou Yinxiu's studio as Ember.
"Teacher Zhou, I'm getting married. I love him, and I'm willing to give up my career for him. Please accept my resignation letter."
Zhou Yinxiu's eyes were filled with pain, and she was disappointed in him.
"Ranxing! Jiang Ranxing! Wake up! As a woman, you can't give up everything for a relationship. Have you forgotten how much effort you've put into design? Don't you want it all back?!"
At that time, Jiang Ranxing was very firm in his ideas.
"Yes, I can give up everything for Fu Shenyuan. As long as I can be with him, I don't want anything else. I just want his love."
Zhou Yinxiu was so angry that she felt dizzy and her breathing became rapid, but she still patiently tried to persuade her.
"Xiaoxing, listen to your teacher's advice. I'm so much older than you, and I've been through a lot. I won't hurt you."
Zhou Yinxiu had experienced far more than this young girl.
"Honey, don't quit your job. Don't give up your career for a man. Stay and continue doing your design work, okay?"
Zhou Yinxiu did not want to bury such a talent, nor did she want to let such talent be buried in an unworthy place.
Jiang Ranxing shook his head firmly.
"I want to be by Fu Shenyuan's side with all my heart, to take care of him, to love him, and to be with him. Teacher, I may not have time to do design anymore."
Zhou Yinxiu continued, "Xiaoxing, your thinking is wrong. Even if Fu Shenyuan loves you very much, he is not worth you giving up your career for him. Women don't have to hide in the trivialities of family life. Women also need to have their own careers. Do you understand, child?"
“Besides, Fu Shenyuan doesn’t love you, so why are you doing this to yourself…” Zhou Yinxiu said sadly.
Zhou Yinxiu knew very well that when a woman gives up everything for love, that's when she loses her soul.
A woman's personality can only be considered complete when she doesn't lose herself, has her own love and family, her own children, and her own career that she strives for and loves.
At that time, Jiang Ranxing was unwilling to listen or believe it.
“Teacher Zhou, thank you, but I still want to choose Fu Shenyuan. I really only want to love him. I want to build a family with him and have a home with him.”
"Teacher Zhou, thank you for your kindness, but I still can't change my mind. No matter what, I'm going to marry him."
That night, Zhou Yinxiu tried her best to persuade Jiang Ranxing, but to no avail.
Since then, Jiang Ranxing has completely left the design industry.
At that time, Zhou Yinxiu considered whether or not to tell Jiang Ranxing a secret about her marriage to Fu Shenyuan.
