Xu Xinchen sat in the chair, listening to the designers around her discussing the design competition, while quietly imagining what she would say when she went on stage that afternoon.
After all, Xu Xinchen's number was 7. This afternoon, after number 6 finished speaking, it was Xu Xinchen's turn. She had to explain her design concept, color matching concept, and other things.
Although this is Xu Xinchen's first time participating in this kind of competition, she can roughly guess what these things are about. She has to say something, but the simpler the language, the better.
After all, the judges don't have that much time to listen to your long-winded speech, let alone find the highlights in your words. They will only listen quickly once to judge whether your work can be kept.
Just as Xu Xinchen was imagining the scene after the competition started this afternoon, the food they ordered began to be served one after another. The first thing to be served was what Xu Yaxin had ordered.
After Xu Yaxin gracefully thanked the waiter, she slightly moved the food towards Xu Xinchen. Xu Xinchen casually glanced over and saw a plate of caviar on Xu Yaxin's plate.
However, Xu Xinchen didn't take the caviar seriously at first. After all, everyone has different tastes, and what Xu Yaxin wanted to eat was her own business. Xu Xinchen naturally wouldn't say anything to Xu Yaxin.
However, after Xu Yaxin actually took that caviar and used it for purposes other than eating, Xu Xinchen felt deep regret.
She should have just switched seats with Jay and Xu Yaxin when they did. Why did she have to worry about Xu Yaxin's feelings? Xu Yaxin didn't consider her position at all!
The spilled caviar is now all over Xu Xinchen's light pink dress, leaving a large stain.
It took a lot of effort to scrape all the caviar off the skirt. The skirt was so dirty that it was unrecognizable. The little bit of caviar juice that had seeped out had splattered into many shapes around the stain, making the whole skirt look completely awful.
Xu Yaxin sat next to Xu Xinchen, covering her mouth with one hand, her face full of guilt, and her eyes seemed to be filled with tears as she looked at Xu Xinchen.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lu... I, I didn't mean to. I never expected it to turn out like this."
Xu Xinchen frowned impatiently, reached out and lifted her skirt, and said to Xu Yaxin, "Let's not talk about this for now. Could you make room for me and let me go out for a bit? I'm in a hurry to deal with my skirt."
As for Xu Yaxin's apology, Xu Xinchen didn't completely disbelieve it, but she was mostly skeptical.
After all, it's possible that Xu Yaxin's hand slipped for a moment, but it's also very likely that Xu Yaxin simply didn't want to see her doing anything good, so she deliberately wanted to embarrass her in front of so many designers.
Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's words, Xu Yaxin's guilt deepened. She feigned panic, grabbed a few tissues from the table, and pressed them directly onto Xu Xinchen's skirt.
While frantically rubbing her hands against her skirt, she whispered an apology to Xu Xinchen: "I'm sorry, Miss Lu, I really didn't mean to. Can you please forgive me?"
"..." Xu Xinchen stared intently at the stain on her skirt that had become wider after being wiped, and for a moment she didn't know what to say to Xu Yaxin.
Xu Yaxin seemed to realize at this moment that she had done something wrong again, and exclaimed in surprise, then threw the tissue in her hand onto the table.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Lu. I just wanted to wipe the stains off your dress. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I'm really sorry."
Looking at the genuinely sincere expression on Xu Yaxin's face, Xu Xinchen momentarily doubted her own guess, but quickly regained her resolve.
At first, it could be said that the caviar spilled on her dress was an accident, but now that she deliberately rubbed such a large mark on her dress with a tissue, it can no longer be called an accident, can it?
Xu Yaxin herself is someone who wears skirts. Doesn't she know the proper way to handle her skirt after it gets stained with these sauces?
Staring at Xu Xinchen's deep gaze, Xu Yaxin's heart pounded twice, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still forced herself to put on a very guilty look.
"Miss Lu, I really didn't mean it. How about this, how much did you pay for this dress? I'll pay you double the price, okay?"
Since someone had actually come to her door with money, Xu Xinchen naturally didn't mind. She decisively said to Xu Yaxin, "Since you've put it that way, Miss Xu, then I won't stand on ceremony. I bought this dress back then..."
It cost 50 yuan when I bought it.
Upon hearing the figure of 50 yuan, Xu Yaxin's face instantly revealed a disdainful smile. Just as she was about to nod and say, "Okay, I'll compensate you," Xu Xinchen quickly interrupted her with what she hadn't finished saying.
"But 50 yuan is just the price I paid for this dress alone. Now that you've done this to it, it's practically ruined. So it's not something that 50 yuan can fix."
"How much do you need?" Xu Yaxin frowned slightly, not taking Xu Xinchen's words seriously at all.
"The original price of this dress was 50 yuan. I've only worn it twice in total. You could say it's 99% new, but since Ms. Xu has already dirtied it, please compensate me for the original price, plus the cost of the two errands."
Xu Yaxin's smile froze instantly. More errand fees? She looked at Xu Xinchen in disbelief, her eyes full of inquiry: "Miss Lu... are you... are you joking with me?"
