Chapter 190: A Thorn in the Flesh
Chi Zhen's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. "Mu Zhen, aren't you going too far?"
Chi Muzhen's eyes were devoid of warmth. "So you're trying to get something for nothing? You won't even give me a receipt. How can I believe you'll really give me half of your shares in the future?"
Chi Zhen gritted his teeth in anger, but he didn't dare to lose his temper because of the current relationship between Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting.
"Mu Zhen, don't you trust your father so much?"
Chi Muzhen looked at him indifferently, "Mr. Chi, I came to this dinner today just to make it clear to you. I hope you won't waste your time on me anymore. I won't bring any benefits to the Chi family. Since you have already chosen Chi Xuan, you should focus your time and energy on her instead of coming to me."
After saying that, she stood up and left.
As soon as he reached the door, Chi Zhen's angry voice sounded from behind him.
"Chi Muzhen! Are you really so cruel that you don't even care about our lives?!"
Chi Muzhen looked back at him, her eyes calm.
"More than 20 years ago, you threw me at the door of the orphanage and didn't care whether I lived or died?
Seven years ago, I returned to the Chi family and had a severe physical reaction after donating bone marrow to Chi Xuan. Didn't you abandon me in the hospital and go home to hold a party for Chi Xuan who had recovered?
During the three years I was married to Huo Yunting, did you ever ask me if I was doing well? "
Faced with Chi Muzhen's questioning, Chi Zhen was speechless.
Chi Muzhen said nothing more and quickly left the Chi family.
As for the Chi family, she was very clear that she could not sever the blood relationship, but she would not just let the Chi family manipulate her.
In her heart, she had completely severed ties with the Chi family.
A month passed quickly, and it was the day of MY's new product launch.
Chi Muzhen and Fan Rao were directing the staff in the backstage to make preparations. Fan Rao's face was full of nervousness, after all, most of the new products released today were her designs.
"Don't be nervous. Your designs are very good. These clothes will definitely be recognized by the market."
Fan Rao took a deep breath and looked at Chi Muzhen with eyes full of respect. Many of the modifications Chi Muzhen had made to her design drawings had caught her attention, so she had now become Chi Muzhen's little fan girl.
"Boss Chi, you are truly amazing! If you had participated in the national design competition, first place would have been yours!"
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "I'm not interested in those things. Besides, if I really go, won't your ranking drop down one more place?"
“I accept defeat to you wholeheartedly.
"Okay, stop flattering me and go check if the model is ready. This is your first fashion show in your life."
"I'm getting nervous again..."
After Fan Rao left, Chi Muzhen checked the process with the director again, and then left the backstage to go to the front desk to find Chen Tian.
After receiving customers who came to attend the new product launch conference in the front, the two finally found a corner to sit down and rest ten minutes before the conference started.
Shen Tian hammered her sore ankle and sighed, "I haven't worn high heels for a while, I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
Chi Muzhen couldn't help but laugh at her, "You used to be a high-heeled shoe warrior, why did you suddenly change your personality recently?"
Chen Tian said angrily, "It was Wen Qinghe who said wearing high heels is bad for your health. He threw all my high heels away while I was at work and bought a bunch of flat shoes. Because of this, I even had a three-day cold war with him!"
"And you gave in?"
"I wore flats for two days and felt much more comfortable than high heels, so I reluctantly took his advice."
Seeing the smile that couldn't be suppressed on the corners of Shen Tian's mouth, Chi Muzhen couldn't help but laugh at her, "I see you are enjoying it."
"Just a little bit, not a lot."
Chi Muzhen was about to speak when Fan Rao's assistant suddenly came running over, panting and saying, "Chi... Mr. Chi, a few models are stuck in traffic. It will take more than half an hour to get here..."
"What?! Which ones?!"
She stood up and walked quickly backstage. Her assistant followed her, saying, "Those are the ones wearing the finale costumes... When Designer Fan contacted them half an hour ago, they said they were almost there. But just as the show was about to start, Designer Fan called them again and they said they couldn't make it..."
Anger flashed in Chi Muzhen's eyes, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?!"
The assistant was so anxious that she was about to cry, "We didn't expect it to be like this..."
When I walked into the backstage, Fan Rao was anxiously calling a model, her face was full of panic, and she pressed the wrong number several times before the call was connected.
Chi Muzhen walked over to her, held her trembling hand, and said calmly: "How many people are still missing?"
“Eight…eight…”
Noticing Fan Rao's body trembling slightly and tears in her eyes, Chi Muzhen softened her voice, "Don't worry, there's still more than half an hour before the finale costume is released. You can arrange for the other models to go on stage first, and I'll figure out the rest."
Her voice seemed to have the power to calm people, and Fan Rao's emotions gradually stabilized.
"Mr. Chi, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."
"Now is not the time to apologize. Let other models come on stage first."
"good……"
After Fan Rao left, Chi Muzhen thought for a while and made a phone call.
At this moment, in front of the stage, Chi Xuan and Bai Xue Ning were sitting in the corner, both with smiles on their faces.
Bai Xue Ning whispered, "Xuan Xuan, we've taken care of the models. Wait till Chi Muzhen gets embarrassed!"
A glint of pride flashed in Chi Xuan's eyes. "Not only will I embarrass her, I'll also ruin her reputation!"
Soon, MY new product launch began.
Fan Rao watched the models go on stage one by one, feeling extremely flustered. The lighting, music and the time when the models would go on stage had all been rehearsed in advance. If Chi Muzhen hadn't found a model by the time of the finale, this new product launch would be completely ruined.
She could only keep praying in her heart that Chi Muzhen could find a model.
However, perhaps God did not hear her prayers. Until all the models before her finished the show, the model that Chi Muzhen contacted still did not arrive.
At first, the audience was waiting patiently, but gradually, they began to talk.
"What's going on? Weren't they supposed to have eight finale dresses? Why haven't they come out yet?"
"Something must have gone wrong. Making such a mistake on such an important occasion, it seems MY doesn't want to build a good brand!"
"The biggest joke today, my new product was the last one to be shown!"
…
Listening to everyone's ridicule of MY, Chi Xuan and Bai Xue Ning both had smug smiles on their faces.
They all hated Chi Muzhen so much, so they were happy to see her in trouble.
Bai Xue Ning covered her mouth and laughed, "This is hilarious! Chi Muzhen will definitely become a laughing stock in the design world!"
Chi Xuan curled her lips, "Xue Ning, this is all thanks to you."
"Remember to tell me if something like this happens next time. I love seeing Chi Muzhen embarrassed the most."
Some audience members had already stood up and prepared to leave because they were tired of waiting.
As the two were feeling proud, the host came up from backstage and said, "Everyone, please be patient. We are about to begin showing off the finale dresses of our press conference. After all, good things always stand the test of time!"
After hearing this, the discussions in the audience became much quieter, and those who were about to leave sat back in their seats and waited for the model to come on stage.
Bai Xuening frowned and gritted her teeth, "What's going on? Those models didn't show up. Where are they going to find new models in such a short time?!"
Chi Xuan's expression also looked a little ugly. "Don't worry, I want to see what tricks Chi Muzhen can come up with!"
Soon, the lights in the audience dimmed, and a model wearing a light green chiffon dress slowly walked out from behind the stage.
When they saw the model's face clearly, Chi Xuan and Bai Xue Ning were stunned.
