It was her other colleague Zhang Manman.
Zhang Manman stood up and took all the credit without blushing or beating her heart.
Zhou Qian has seen all kinds of shameless people in the past two days.
She did not immediately stand up and expose Zhang Manman because Old Mrs. Lin was asking Zhang Manman where the creative inspiration for this feast came from?
Zhang Manman's eyes flashed, and she hesitated for a long time without being able to explain the reason.
Zhou Qian knew the opportunity had come.
"This feast is inspired by an oil painting in Melbourne." Zhou Qian walked out of the crowd.
Everyone looked at her, especially Old Lady Lin. She looked her over and asked, "Who are you? How did you know?"
"Hello, Mrs. Lin. I am Zhou Qian, the designer of tonight's banquet." Zhou Qian said with a smile.
Mrs. Lin looked at Zhang Manman and asked Zhou Qian, "Then who is she?"
Just now, the woman surnamed Zhang clearly said that she is the designer.
Zhou Qian glanced at Zhang Manman, ignoring her thorny gaze, and replied to the old lady, "She is my colleague, mainly responsible for the scene setting work."
As we all know, before setting the scene, we must first have a designer's design drawing, which means that Zhang Manman works under Zhou Qian.
When the old lady saw Zhang Manman with a sullen face and no rebuttal, she knew who was lying. She gave Zhang Manman a cold look and turned to Zhou Qian with a smile in her eyes.
"Little girl, you just said that your inspiration came from an oil painting in Melbourne. Tell me more about it."
Zhou Qian put a lot of effort into preparing this feast. After all, he had wanted to use this opportunity to make his presence felt among the Lin family, so it was not difficult for him to introduce it to the old lady.
The old lady was very satisfied after hearing this, and she picked out the biggest red envelope and gave it to her.
Zhou Qian accepted the red envelope and said a few words of blessing.
…
Zhou Qian was drinking water backstage when Zhang Manman came to her angrily.
"Zhou Qian, this feast was created by all of us together. Why do you get a red envelope worth thousands of yuan while we only get a few hundred?"
"I can tell you where the inspiration for the design comes from." Zhou Qian drank the water slowly, wondering how Zhang Manman got the nerve to come to her.
Zhang Manman's face turned pale. "With all that nonsense you made up, you can only fool an old lady."
"Unlike you, who can't even make up shit."
"You—" Zhang Manman clenched her fists angrily, "Zhou Qian, don't think I don't know what you're up to. You want to gain favor with the Lin family so you can realize your dream of marrying into a wealthy family sooner rather than later. But I'm telling you, that's wishful thinking."
Zhou Qian was not annoyed at all, and even said with a smile, "At least I can still dream a little bit, unlike some people who can't even get close to the wealthy circle."
After she finished speaking, she put down her cup and left.
Zhang Manman gritted her teeth and said from behind, "Zhou Qian, just wait and see!"
…
Zhou Qian returned to the hall and the guests were leaving one after another. Her colleagues came over to ask her when they could leave.
Zhou Qian said there was no rush because the Lin family had previously requested that they wait until all their guests had left before they could leave the venue with permission.
Judging from how quickly the guests were leaving, it would probably take a while, so Zhou Qian prepared to find a place to rest.
Before she left, a man in a black suit approached her and said, "Ms. Zhou, Mrs. Lin wants to see you."
Zhou Qian followed the other party to the side hall and saw a woman dressed in gorgeous and noble clothes sitting on the sofa.
She walked up and greeted politely, "Hello, Mrs. Lin."
Madam Lin put down the teacup in her hand and looked her over coldly. "Are you Zhou Qian, the vixen who seduced my son?"
Zhou Qian's face turned pale. It turned out that she was Lin Chenyi's mother.
Looking at the noble and elegant lady of a wealthy family, I didn't expect her to say such vulgar words in public.
There were still some guests in the side hall, and Zhou Qian could feel all kinds of eyes on him.
She admitted openly, "Mrs. Lin, I did date your son, but it was a normal relationship between us that was consensual."
Mrs. Lin snorted coldly, "Stop flattering yourself. Don't think I don't know that today's feast was bought by you at the cost of your body to my son. Otherwise, a low-class designer like you wouldn't even be fit to clean the toilets in our Lin family."
Although the Lin family did not get this order in exchange for their body, they did get it through the back door, and Zhou Qian had nothing to refute about this.
But what she was curious about was how Mrs. Lin suddenly knew about her relationship with Lin Chenyi?
Zhou Qian noticed that Zhang Manman was standing there watching with a gloating look on her face. It was very likely that Zhang Manman was taking revenge on her because of the red envelope incident and deliberately revealed her relationship with Lin Chenyi to Mrs. Lin.
There is another suspect, Lu Jing.
While she was lost in thought, Madam Lin had already stood up and walked in front of her, speaking arrogantly:
"A product without any family background, no connections, no power, yet you still dream of becoming a phoenix by relying on your looks. Do you need me to pull out a hair and make you think about your own weight?"
"Why, does Mrs. Lin buy wives by the kilogram?"
Mrs. Lin choked.
"Also..." Zhou Qian continued, "Although I don't have a rich family, background, or influence, some of my wealthy friends are polite, well-educated, and well-mannered."
Mrs. Lin's face turned even uglier. These words were just a slap in her face.
"Auntie, there's no need to waste time talking to someone like her. Just throw the check in her face. It's guaranteed to work better than anything else."
The person who spoke was a young girl who had always been following Mrs. Lin. Zhou Qian paid attention to her when she came in, because when she saw her, she stared at her with a bad look.
She didn't know this person and felt quite confused.
Mrs. Lin's expression became better. A woman like Zhou Qian, who had no background, approached rich people like them just to gain benefits.
"Tell me, how much does it cost?"
In order to avoid a rift and settle the final payment smoothly, Zhou Qian suppressed the anger in his chest.
She smiled faintly and said, "In order to pursue me, your son risked his life to enter the primeval forest to save me and almost died. How much do you think your son's infatuation is worth?"
Mrs. Lin's face turned green with anger. This woman was so arrogant that she used her son's life to stop her.
"I haven't even settled accounts with you about this matter yet, and you still dare to bring it up."
"Mr. Lin is so affectionate, how could I dare to forget it?"
"Bitch!"
There was a sharp sound, followed by a crisp "pa--" sound. Zhou Qian was unable to react in time and was slapped hard.
The one who did it was that girl, Lu Qianqian.
Lu Qianqian was furious. "You almost killed Brother Chen Yi back then, and now you dare to show off. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how powerful I, your legitimate fiancée, am."
