This person doesn't manage their physique very well compared to other designers; their belly is already protruding, although they're not five months pregnant yet, they're three months along!
In addition, he is quite large and has a lot of flesh on his body, making him look like an iron tower. Such a person is very out of place in the design world!
Iron Tower was caught off guard by Yao Tongjia's directness and immediately denied it, saying, "Where did I cut the thread on your clothes? And what evidence do you have that I arranged for this child to be born?"
"If you didn't arrange this, why are you jumping out and saying this? Is this your child? It's obviously not your child!" This child is very frail and short!
"I've already said this child isn't mine, and I didn't arrange it!"
"This wasn't your arrangement, this isn't your child, so what are you shouting about here? Or do you have ulterior motives?"
Yao Tongjia's rap-talking on stage left everyone stunned. However, the person in charge looked at Yao Tongjia with disgust, thinking that this Easterner was too tactless.
"What, it's you causing trouble again? Look, you kicked someone's child away, I don't even know if he's hurt."
Yao Tongjia sneered: "Are you impeaching me with the word 'again'? From beginning to end, I didn't cause any trouble, okay? The first time someone tried to destroy our painting, the second time someone wanted me to do their bidding, and the third time is this time someone tried to embarrass me!"
"I haven't even asked you for compensation yet, and our clothes got damaged in your hands!"
Smith came out after hearing this: "Where are the clothes torn?"
Yao Tongjia pointed to her back: "If my mother hadn't checked so carefully, I would have exposed myself during the show because of my big movements."
"With so many cameras and so many people, what do you think would happen if the photos were sent back to our country?"
Smith looked at the head of the organization. He had always known that Smith was racist. It was fine before because no Asians participated in the competition, but this time he couldn't hold back anymore!
Smith glared angrily at everyone: "This is my last year as a judge. If you can't be fair and impartial, then there's no point in me being here!"
Smith's words made everyone's faces turn sour: "The Smith Award was established because of you. If you don't even come, what's the point of this award?"
"You have no respect for me at all, so what's the point of me coming or not? Why was this award so prestigious before? Have you forgotten?"
Everyone lowered their heads. The reason this award is so prestigious is that it treats everyone fairly and justly, regardless of who they are.
But these are Eastern faces, from that ancient and backward country. Why should they stand on the same platform as them?
Yao Tongjia felt no joy at winning the award. She told her mother about the situation, and Yao Yanxin put down the trophy, saying, "They look down on us. We don't want their trophy!"
Yao Tongjia said to them exactly what she said: "You look down on us, and we look down on the trophy in return. Here's the trophy back to you; you can give it to whomever you want!"
Yao Tongjia and Yao Yanxin helped each other off the stage. Xiao Gengwu came up to them, said nothing, and led them to the car back to the embassy.
The silence of the group made He Jiayin think that the competition results were not good, so she quickly comforted them: "If you didn't win an award, you can try again next time!"
Yao Tongjia angrily told He Jiayin what had happened at the meeting. He Jiayin remained calm. When she was a diplomat, she had encountered all kinds of discrimination and could only swallow it all.
She comforted them, saying, "When a country is weak, its people are bullied. Only when our country becomes strong will we have the confidence to go out into the world! I believe our country will be even better in the future!"
Thinking of the future, and how China has indeed become strong, Yao Tongjia said, "I also believe that wherever we go in the future, we will be envied because we are Chinese!"
Before the group could finish their exclamations, a security guard came to report that a man named Smith had arrived and wanted to meet Yao Yanxin.
Yao Tongjia had just mentioned Smith, and Director Huang had heard it too. He went out to welcome him in and led him into the reception room.
Smith was holding the grand prize trophy. He saw Yao Yanxin and handed it to her, saying, "Whether you take it or not, this trophy is yours. Look, your name is printed on it."
Yao Tongjia took the trophy and looked at it. Sure enough, it had Yao Yanxin's name printed on it. Yao Tongjia happily said to her mother, "Mom, look, it really has your name printed on it. It's no use for them to take it!"
This was the first time Yao Yanxin had received a trophy. She felt a little reluctant when she put it down, but now that someone had returned it with her name on it, she accepted it without hesitation!
Smith sipped his Chinese tea: "This tea is very good. I came here today to take Ms. Yao as my apprentice. Would you be willing to stay?"
Yao Tongjia was very surprised and translated her words to her mother. Yao Yanxin immediately shook her head: "Your father is in China, and you are in China too. How could I be here? I don't want to!"
Yao Tongjia had already guessed her mother's answer, and now that she had received a clear answer, she translated her mother's answer for Smith.
Smith might have thought that Yao Yanxin would definitely become his apprentice, given his reputation in the design world; whoever becomes his apprentice will become a very famous person.
But when he saw her throw down the trophy, he knew then that his apprenticeship process hadn't gone so smoothly. So, hearing Yao Yanxin's answer, he wasn't too disappointed.
He thought for a moment and asked, "If I could go to China, would you be willing to become my apprentice?" Smith was determined to get an answer; he had spent his whole life designing clothes and had never even gotten married.
He had not been able to find a suitable apprentice until he saw Yao Yanxin, which gave him the idea of taking her on as an apprentice. However, he did not expect that those people would dare to hold him back.
Smith never expected that his trusted friend would try to impose his ideas on him and even conspire with others to frame Yao Yanxin.
Yao Tongjia conveyed her message to Yao Yanxin. Yao Yanxin looked at the foreign old man who was helping her so much on their first meeting and nodded: "If he comes to China, I will become his disciple."
Smith was overjoyed to receive the answer; if his apprentice wouldn't teach him here, he could teach her back home.
An Eastern face floated into Smith's mind; he had never told anyone that he harbored a secret, unrequited love for someone.
His ideal woman was in China, and he hoped that he would be fortunate enough to meet her again in China for the rest of his life.
After Smith left, He Jiayin picked up the trophy and exclaimed, "Aunt Yao, you're amazing! You won the grand prize on your first try!"
