Chapter 565 I’ve Always Been Here
After get off work, Mu Yuting picked up Xiao Nuan at the old place.
Along the way, Xiao Nuan held Mu Yuting tightly, unlike before when she had to ask Mu Yuting for reminders.
Mu Yuting asked, "Baby, what's wrong? Are you worried?"
Xiao Nuan shook her head, "No."
You idiot, you're still hiding it from me. Do I know how many times you've been to the toilet?
But Xiao Nuan didn't say anything, and Mu Yuting didn't ask any further questions.
He trusted Xiao Nuan too much in her ability to handle emotional matters.
In order to make Xiao Nuan happy, he joked,
"Holding you so tightly, are you afraid that I will run away?"
Xiao Nuan smiled playfully,
"You're a grown man, but you have so many things to do. One moment you let go and asked me to hold you tighter. Now that I'm holding you tighter, you say you're strangling me. You're so hard to please. I won't hold you anymore."
Seeing that Xiao Nuan had given up, Mu Yuting hurriedly coaxed her in a low voice.
I turned the electric bike into a quiet road, took the baby in my arms, held him for a long time, and kissed him for a long time before I finally coaxed this stubborn little donkey into peace.
Lately, this little guy has been hard to coax.
…
Two days later, the second round of the fashion design competition arrived as scheduled.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Vice President Xue, as the team leader, led the contestants from Pinshang to prepare for departure.
Everyone was nervous and excited, ready to go.
Before leaving, Ye Han asked his secretary to place bundles of cash in the center of the company, one hundred thousand per bundle.
He pointed at the cash and encouraged,
"As a boss, I think the best reward for employees is cash."
"I still say the same thing. As long as you can win an award, as long as you can bring honor to Pinshang, the company will never treat you unfairly. As I said before, the first prize is 500,000 yuan, the second prize is 200,000 yuan, and the third prize is 100,000 yuan. I am not here to talk nonsense. I will keep my promise. The bonuses are ready, please show your swords."
This speech made everyone feel very excited.
Xiao Tianyu took the lead in applauding and expressed his opinion,
"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, we will do our best."
The bus had already been waiting at the entrance of Pinshang. After the mobilization was over, Vice President Xue set off with his group.
There are a total of ten people who have been shortlisted for the second round of the competition this time, and Xiao Nuan is the only intern.
The others are either contracted designers like Xiao Tianyu or Pinshang’s chief designers.
Every face was filled with confidence and determination to win.
When queuing to get on the bus, Xiao Nuan didn't fight or rush, but sat obediently at the back.
As soon as we got on the bus and were about to find a seat, Chief Designer Xu Lina pointed at Xiao Nuan.
"You're from the publicity department, right? Please take a few more photos for me so I can make a promotional video after I win the award."
Xiao Nuan was just an intern, and her office was not on the same floor as Xu Lina's, so she didn't know Xiao Nuan.
I thought Xiao Nuan was the publicity staff member accompanying us.
As the chief designer of Pinshang, Xu Lina was aiming for the first prize.
Xiao Nuan explained, "I'm sorry, I can't take a photo for you. I'm also participating in a competition."
Lina looked at Xiao Nuan deeply, in disbelief.
"I've never seen you before. Which team are you from? Are you also a designer on Pinshang?"
Xiao Nuan isn't a designer, so she told the truth, "I'm an intern in Vice President Xue's group."
intern?
Xu Lina was a little puzzled, with a hint of disdain and suspicion.
"You passed the preliminary round too?"
Xiao Nuan cursed in her heart: He is the chief designer, how could this question be any dumber? If I fail the preliminary round, can I participate in the second round?
But now she only dares to scold Mu Yuting at home, and is polite outside and dares not scold anyone.
I could only nod politely.
Lina pressed on, "What place did you get in the preliminary round?"
Xiao Nuan ranked eighth in the preliminary round, which was an excellent result, but she didn't want to show off.
Xiao Tianyu asked her several times before, but she didn't say anything.
In today's society, apart from your relatives and close friends, few people will be truly happy for your excellence, and speaking it out will only cause hatred.
Xiao Nuan replied, "It's just okay, barely qualified."
Lina was satisfied.
Sure enough, a little intern posed no threat to her.
Xiao Tianyu sat with Lina and didn't say a word for Xiao Nuan the whole time. He was relieved when he heard that Xiao Nuan was barely shortlisted.
It posed no threat to him.
Xiao Nuan sat in the back of the bus.
Lina said to Xiao Tianyu next to her, "I only got ninth place in the first round. I made a mistake."
It's said to be a mistake, but in fact it's showing off.
Xiao Tianyu naturally complimented and fawned on him.
Vice President Xue arranged everyone's seats and came over with a bad look on his face.
"Hey guys, on the way to the second round, you're arguing about the results of the first round. Is that interesting?"
Although Xu Lina is the chief designer of Pinshang, she still has to give face to Vice President Xue, not to mention Xiao Tianyu.
Neither of them spoke anymore.
Vice President Xue originally wanted to sit with Xiao Nuan. He still wanted to talk to Xiao Nuan, but today was not the right time, and he was afraid of causing gossip about her.
Finally sat in the front.
Inside the stadium.
Many people signed up for the competition this time, but only 50 people were shortlisted for the second round.
They are all elites.
In order to ensure the fairness of this competition, all contestants will have their appearance order drawn on the spot.
Xiao Tianyu and his friends are ranked okay, in the middle.
Xiao Nuan's work is ranked last, No. 50, which is not very advantageous.
After all, by the end, both the judges and the models will be a little tired.
If the work is not particularly outstanding, the judges probably won't have the patience to read it and will just give it a perfunctory average score.
Xiao Tianyu was gloating, looking at the depressed Xiao Nuan, and joked,
"The last one is pretty good. We can go eat after the game."
Xiao Nuan glared at him and said unhappily, "If you like, I'll change it for you."
When Xiao Nuan saw him flattering her in the car, she felt disgusted with him.
He seemed like a down-to-earth person when he was studying, but how come he became like this after he started working?
In fact, Xiao Tianyu is such a person. He often flatters teachers in school. It’s just that Xiao Nuan had little contact with him at that time and didn’t notice it.
Xiao Tianyu didn't expect that Xiao Nuan, who was always good-tempered, would speak so harshly. He stopped provoking her and went to iron out his work.
The judges in the front desk have taken their seats, and the backstage is bustling with activity.
The busiest people are the models, who have to put on makeup and try on the finished products for the competition.
The designer is also busy and the wrong size needs to be changed on the spot.
Relatively speaking, the contestants on Pinshang have it very easy.
Because Vice President Xue had invited models in advance, all the entries on the product had already been tried on.
In the car, Xu Lina was scolded by Vice President Xue, and now she said in a flattering way,
"Vice President Xue, you are so resourceful that you invited the model in advance. Otherwise, I would be so busy now. Thank you, Vice President Xue, for your trouble."
Vice President Xue was not happy at all, and thought to himself: What is there to thank? You are just taking advantage of me. If you want to thank anyone, you should thank Xiao Nuan.
He just nodded and went on to do other things.
…
Xiao Nuan's phone rang.
The backstage was too noisy, so she found a quiet corner to answer the call.
Mu Yuting's deep voice came, "Nuannuan, are you nervous?"
Xiao Nuan smiled and said, "I was nervous just now, but now I feel much calmer when I hear your voice."
"You still know how to smile, it seems that the problem is not serious. I was worried that you would be scared if you were the last one to appear."
Xiao Nuan was surprised, "You let it slip. How did you know I was the last one based on the order we just drew?"
"As long as I want, I don't know anything. Whether you want to see me or not, I will be here in a minute."
Mu Yuting is here?
Xiao Nuan looked around and sure enough, she saw the familiar figure on the other side of the backstage. That face, so handsome that it was unbearable to the world, was staring at her without blinking.
Xiao Nuan felt indescribably happy in her heart. If there weren't so many people around, she would have thrown herself into his arms.
The two of them just looked at each other, with everyone busy in between.
Xiao Nuan teased,
"Didn't you say you were busy at work today and didn't have time to watch my game? You sneaked in again, huh? You're slapping me in the face, Mr. Mu?"
Mu Yuting chuckled, "I've slapped you in the face a lot. Do you want to come over and give me a hug? I'll cheer you up."
"I'm glad to see you. Stop messing around. If you interrupt my game, I'll beat you up when I get back."
As she spoke, Xiao Nuan shook her fist at Mu Yuting.
"Then wait until the competition is over and hug me, Nuannuan. The order of performance may have a slight impact on the results, but the final outcome will be determined by the quality of the work. Just go with the flow and don't worry. No matter what results you achieve, your husband will have rewards and surprises for you."
You are really good at persuading people.
Xiao Nuan nodded vigorously, tears of happiness in her eyes, and made a heart shape with her fingers in the opposite direction.
"Mu Yuting, thank you."
"Silly, play well, I'm always here."
