Chapter 131 Watching Jiang Ning Make a Fool of Him
LD Jewelry Fashion Week has a professional model styling team provided by the organizer specifically for designers.
Therefore, designers do not need to busy themselves backstage with every model's outfit, nor do they need to worry about their designs being worn incorrectly.
Jiang Ning was sitting in the audience at that moment.
Gu Qian was sitting next to her.
This time, Jiang Ning only brought Gu Qian with her.
Since she had to pay for her own expenses, she couldn't bring all the studio staff. The reason she brought Gu Qian was because Gu Qian was a man, and she might need to help with some of the heavy lifting.
Chu Qingxue was also sitting in the audience, but in the VIP section, right next to Lu Junyan.
Even though the lighting in the audience was poor, Jiang Ning could still clearly see Chu Qingxue chatting and laughing with Lu Junyan. She looked very relaxed and confident.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but wonder what the theme of Chu Qingxue's exhibits would be this time.
The LD Jewelry Fashion Week showcases jewelry as the main focus, with fashion as a secondary element.
Not long after, Jiang Ning saw Chu Qingxue get up and leave her seat, only to return some time later.
At this moment, a new fashion show began, showcasing Chu Qingxue's designs.
Jiang Ning was a little surprised that Chu Qingxue hadn't lied to her; the topic really was "first love."
With pink diamonds as the main stone, the entire "First Love" series has a sweet and fresh design style, just like the impression Chu Qingxue usually gives people.
Chu Qingxue exhibited a total of eight pieces of jewelry.
The main stones are all pink diamonds, and the design concept is all four-leaf clover. The main style is a pink diamond ring with a heart-shaped four-leaf clover petal.
After the last model finished showcasing the featured item, Chu Qingxue took the stage to give a speech, talking about many topics related to love, especially first love.
When Jiang Ning saw Chu Qingxue saying these words, her eyes, full of affection, were fixed on Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan's faint smile was like a mask he could never remove.
Jiang Ning could sense the bond called first love that lingered between Chu Qingxue and Lu Junyan.
However……
It was their beautiful first love that turned her first love into a sharp, poisonous thorn, leaving her riddled with wounds.
Are you alright?
Beside him, Gu Qian noticed that Jiang Ning's hands, which were resting on his lap, were clenched tightly.
"Don't be nervous, we've done everything we can, we'll definitely succeed."
Jiang Ning snapped out of her daze and saw Gu Qian raise his fist at her.
After a slight hesitation, she bumped fists with Gu Qian.
Chu Qingxue had just stepped off the stage when she glanced at Jiang Ning and saw him bumping fists with Gu Qian.
Gu Qian noticed Chu Qingxue's gaze and raised his eyelids.
Their eyes met, and they quickly exchanged glances.
Chu Qingxue's smile widened even more as her makeup was applied.
She had just sat back down next to Lu Junyan when she heard him ask calmly:
Who were you just smiling at?
Chu Qingxue was startled and covered up, saying, "No, I was just looking around. What's wrong, Junyan? Are you jealous?"
Lu Jun smiled but remained silent.
If he wasn't mistaken, the direction Chu Qingxue was looking was Jiang Ning's seat.
Miranda, sitting in the best seat in the front row, turned her head and glanced at Chu Qingxue, then smiled contemptuously.
During her speech, Chu Qingxue was so focused on using the precious emotions of "first love" to move Lu Junyan that she didn't notice that very few people in the audience were actually listening to her long speech. After she finished, the applause was sparse.
Next up is Jiangning.
At this LD Jewelry Fashion Week, there were only two emerging designers: Jiang Ning and Chu Qingxue.
The exhibition order arranged by the organizers was also very fair.
Whoever obtains the qualification to participate first will exhibit first.
Therefore, Chu Qingxue preceded Jiang Ning.
Backstage.
Jiang Ning inspected the jewelry on display, and the stylist knew how to put it on the models.
"Jiang Ning, let's go and confirm the power outage and UV lamp activation times with the stage design team again!"
Gu Qian urged him on and pulled Jiang Ning away from backstage.
No sooner had Jiang Ning left than Chu Qingxue silently emerged from behind the curtain.
This was something she and Gu Qian had discussed beforehand.
Although LD Jewelry Fashion Week provides models with a professional styling team, the designer will usually come backstage before the show to do a simple check and give some instructions.
Jiang Ning's qualification to participate this time was hard-won, and given his cautious nature, there was no reason for him not to come backstage in person.
However, if Jiang Ning stays backstage for too long, Chu Qingxue will be unable to spray hydrochloric acid.
Therefore, Chu Qingxue insisted that Gu Qian accompany Jiang Ning backstage no matter what, and find an excuse to pull Jiang Ning away as soon as possible.
Things unfolded exactly as they had planned. Chu Qingxue was confident and showed no sign of the panic that comes with a guilty conscience.
"Qingxue, what brings you here?"
Li Xueli asked while adjusting the model's hair accessories.
"I was worried you'd be too busy, so I came to help you!"
Chu Qingxue answered sweetly.
Lee Sulli is the head of the styling team for this project.
After making a plan with Gu Qian, Chu Qingxue met Li Xueli through Lu Junyan before the official opening of LD Jewelry Fashion Week.
The two fashion-loving girls quickly became best friends.
Therefore, at this moment, even if Chu Qingxue appeared backstage while other designers were exhibiting their works, Li Xueli didn't think it was a big deal and naturally wouldn't send Chu Qingxue away.
That's exactly what Chu Qingxue wanted.
As the performance on stage was about to end, people backstage were still frantically putting on the exhibits.
Chu Qingxue pretended to help Li Xueli and the others, but secretly took out a perfume bottle behind the surveillance camera and sprayed hydrochloric acid onto the jewelry designed by Jiang Ning.
The exhibits from Jiangning are made of platinum inlaid with fluorite and rubies.
Platinum is acid-resistant, so spraying it with more will be useless.
Therefore, Chu Qingxue sprayed the fluorite and ruby precisely, so that the model would not easily notice it when wearing them.
Jiangning's exhibits were few, only four items in total—a bracelet, earrings, a necklace, and a hair accessory—meeting the minimum requirements for LD Jewelry Fashion Week.
Chu Qingxue thought that Jiang Ning must have changed the theme at the last minute, and there wasn't enough time, so he didn't do much.
However, the scarcity of exhibits actually provided her with some convenience.
Chu Qingxue helped the mannequin put on the jewelry that had been sprayed with hydrochloric acid, just as the performance at the front desk ended.
Just as the first model stepped onto the stage, the entire venue suddenly lost power.
Both the catwalk and the audience seats were plunged into complete darkness in an instant.
Of everyone present, only the show's general manager and the stage designer knew that this was part of the Jiangning exhibit design.
Of course, there's also Chu Qingxue.
In the darkness, no one could see the ferocious smile on Chu Qingxue's face.
Jiangning, just wait for your failure and bankruptcy!
A power outage during a fashion show is a major incident. The gemstones sprayed with hydrochloric acid not only failed to shine brightly after the UV emergency lights were turned on, but instead became dull and lifeless.
No matter how you look at it, Jiangning is doomed this time!
Chu Qingxue was eagerly waiting to see Jiang Ning make a fool of himself, but as expected, the UV emergency light did not light up immediately.
In the audience seats.
Lu Junyan, who was interested in Jiang Ning's jewelry design for the first time, frowned in disappointment the moment the power went out.
Everything was pitch black.
Lu Junyan's lowered eyelids gradually lifted.
He saw will-o'-the-wisps.
