Chapter 122: Shocked
Chi Muzhen frowned, "Is there something wrong?"
"Miss Chi will know when she goes there."
After a few seconds of silence, Chi Muzhen went with Ke Ning to see Huo Yunting.
"Mr. Huo, what do you want from me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black card was handed to him.
"If you're short of money in the future, just swipe this card."
Looking at his as-a-matter-of-fact expression, Chi Muzhen realized that he had misunderstood her about carrying water just now.
She pursed her lips and didn't take the card.
"No, I have enough money."
"Enough to spend. Do you need odd jobs?"
Chi Muzhen was too lazy to explain and said indifferently: "Mr. Huo, this is my own business."
"Chi Muzhen, if you listen to me and retake the college entrance exam, you won't have to do this kind of hard labor in the future."
Hearing the faint contempt in his tone, Chi Muzhen frowned and looked at him.
"Mr. Huo, even if I'm doing hard labor, it's my own business. I don't think it's shameful."
"If you have a college degree, you have more options!"
Chi Muzhen nodded. "I don't deny that what you said is right, but I should have the right to choose my own life. I will not listen to you and change myself."
After saying that, Chi Muzhen turned around and left.
Huo Yunting looked at her back with a cold expression, anger flickering in his eyes.
When he returned to the villa, Chi Muzhen was a little surprised to see Zhen Yan at home.
"You don't have to attend the event today?"
"Well, this period of time was supposed to be for rest, but because of this event, I didn't get enough rest. I've already discussed it with my agent and will turn down such activities in the future."
"You really should get some rest. You've got dark circles under your eyes."
"Of course not. I feel like my appearance has deteriorated recently because I'm so tired. By the way, where did you go today?"
"Go out and take care of some things."
Zhen Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions, "Are you busy tonight?"
"Nothing, what's wrong?"
"Since you're alright, then accompany me to dinner with Mr. Liang tonight to thank him for helping me last time."
"Okay, I'll go up and rest for a while."
After Chi Muzhen went upstairs, Zhen Yan immediately called Liang Zixuan and asked him to have dinner with her in the evening.
On the other hand, the design competition is still in full swing.
There are more than 1,300 contestants participating in the preliminary round, and only 600 contestants will be selected to enter the next round.
It was not until after six in the evening that the contestants who advanced to the next round were finally counted.
Chi Xuan and Fan Rao’s competition numbers were among them.
Knowing the result, Chi Xuan's face showed no surprise. The scores of the first round were based on a 100-point system, and the gap between the contestants was very small. She scored 92.6 points, the same as more than a dozen other people.
As soon as I got up and left the competition stage and returned to the lounge, I received a call from Xu Rou.
"Xuanxuan, you were amazing today! Your dad and I saw the results of the competition. Your dad has booked a private room at Tianyue Rongfu. Let's celebrate as a family!"
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Xuan went to find Huo Yunting, but was told by the staff that he had left long ago.
Chi Xuan felt lost. When she went to the studio to paint before, Huo Yunting would wait for her no matter how late it was. His attitude now was completely different.
Thinking of this, she felt even more uncomfortable.
After hesitating for a while, she still called Huo Yunting.
"Brother Yunting, I've advanced to the semi-finals. To celebrate with me, my parents have booked a private room at Tianyue Rongfu. Would you like to come over and have dinner with us?"
"Congratulations. I have something to do tonight, so I won't be there."
After saying this in a cold tone, Huo Yunting hung up the phone.
Chi Xuan took a deep breath to suppress the loss in her heart and drove to Tianyue Rongfu.
Xu Rou and Chi Zhen were both very happy tonight. Grandpa Chi and Mrs. Chi also knew that Chi Xuan had advanced to the semi-finals. They called and specifically told Chi Zhen to ask Chi Xuan to keep working hard and strive to win first place.
"Xuanxuan, you really made me proud! I was playing mahjong when I heard the news that you advanced to the semi-finals. Those rich wives were so jealous. They all envied me for having such an outstanding daughter!"
Chi Xuan smiled shyly and pretended to be modest, "Mom, I'm not that good. This is just a preliminary round. There are still several competitions to come."
Xu Rou looked proud, "My daughter is so amazing, she will definitely get first place!"
"Then I'll work hard!"
Chi Zhen also looked at her with a smile and said, "Xuanxuan, if you can get first place, I will give you a surprise."
"What surprise?!"
"If you tell it out loud, will it still be called a surprise?"
"Even if it's just for Dad's surprise, I have to take first place!"
Several people laughed at the same time. Xu Rou handed the menu to Chi Xuan, "Xuanxuan, take a look at what you want to eat."
"good."
Just as Chi Xuan finished ordering the food, Chi Zhen's phone rang.
He glanced down, stood up and said, "It's a client's call, I'll go out and answer it."
After walking out of the box, Chi Zhen found a quiet corner to answer the phone.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me recently..."
Before he could finish his words, a panicked voice came over.
"Brother Zhen! Xiaobao has a fever, please come back quickly!"
Hearing this, Chi Zhen's expression suddenly changed, "I'll be there right away, you use a wet towel to cool him down first!"
After hanging up the phone, Chi Zhen walked quickly towards the box.
"Xiao Rou, Xuan Xuan, something happened at the company suddenly, and I have to go over there right now. You guys eat first. If I'm done with it and you haven't finished eating yet, I'll come over."
After Chi Zhen left, Chi Xuan and Xu Rou were chatting and suddenly talked about Chi Muzhen.
"Oh right... Mom, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you. It's about my sister..."
Xu Rou frowned, disgust flashing in her eyes.
"Has she gotten into trouble again?!"
Chi Xuan pursed her lips, as if she found it difficult to speak.
"It's not like I got into trouble... I just saw my sister at the competition today."
"What is she doing at the competition?!"
Xu Rou's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, not knowing what she was thinking about. "Could it be that she knew you were going to participate in the competition and deliberately sabotaged it?!"
Chi Xuan shook her head. "No... Actually, my sister was working part-time at the event. When I went there, she was carrying water for the contestants..."
“Bang!”
Xu Rou slammed her chopsticks onto the table and angrily said, "She still thinks she hasn't finished humiliating the Chi family?!"
If the news that Chi Muzhen was working as a temporary worker got out, the Chi family would become a laughing stock among the upper class in Rongcheng.
"Call her right now!"
Chi Xuan looked embarrassed. "Mom, if my sister knew that I told you this, she would definitely misunderstand me again. The purpose of me telling you this was to ask you to give my sister some money so that she wouldn't have to work as a temporary worker..."
Xu Rou sneered, "I won't give her a penny! She doesn't deserve it! Since you won't fight, I'll fight myself!"
She picked up her phone and called Chi Muzhen directly, but she hung up every time she called.
During this period, Chi Xuan had been "trying" to stop her, but failed.
Finally, the call was connected.
"What's up?"
Chi Muzhen's indifferent tone made Xu Rou even more furious. She said angrily: "Chi Muzhen, I heard that you went to the design competition site as a temporary worker today?!"
