"Teacher Tang Sen was ultimately disappointed by Xia Zhichu's absence. As promised, he never appeared on the judging panel again. Therefore, he did not participate in the selection of works this time."
Lina continued to talk, but Si Mochen simply closed his eyes, obviously showing some impatience with her chattering.
He actually didn't understand why Lina mentioned Xia Zhichu again and again. In his impression, he and Xia Zhichu were only high school classmates for one year. As for his memory of Xia Zhichu, it had become vague as so many years passed. He even forgot what Xia Zhichu looked like.
Now that Lina kept mentioning this name, he felt disgusted.
Lina also noticed his unhappiness, and finally stopped talking to avoid backfire.
To be honest, she said these things purely because of the memory. After all, Xia Zhichu was so outstanding back then. If she hadn't had the accident, she might still have won an award at this year's exhibition.
Unfortunately, after that day’s disappearance, Xia Zhichu seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. Si Mochen spent a lot of manpower and resources but failed to find any clues.
Later, because Si Mochen also got into trouble, the Milan exhibition also took a turn. Xia Zhichu was absent, Teacher Tang Sen announced his retirement, and all the honors belonging to Xia Zhichu were handed over to others.
Thinking about it now, Lina still feels sorry for Xia Zhichu.
What a great opportunity! If Xia Zhichu could appear, her career would have made greater progress and she would have become a well-known designer.
But God loves to play jokes. Xia Zhichu was clearly within reach of her dream, but when she was about to shine in the design world, she chose to disappear.
Nowadays, Jincheng has undergone earth-shaking changes. Ouyang Yunxiao has become the heir of the Si family, and Si Mochen is the illegitimate son that the Si family has no choice but to accept.
However, after Si Mochen woke up, facing Ouyang Yunxiao's various attacks, he fought back with more powerful means, causing the Si Group's stock price to fluctuate violently several times, and even almost unable to reverse the funds.
Seeing Si Mochen back to square one, Lina should be happy, and she could even take this opportunity to get close to Si Mochen and capture his heart.
But Lina didn't do that. She didn't want to use such despicable means to satisfy her own selfish desires, and she couldn't let down Xia Zhichu's trust in her.
Therefore, over the years, Lina has continued to silently accompany Si Mochen as his right-hand man.
Everything seemed to have gone back to the time before she met Xia Zhichu. Si Mochen was still Si Mochen, but for some reason, Lina saw a gloomy look in this man's eyes.
Si Mochen was like a cold-blooded animal without any emotions, which made Lina feel very distressed.
It was precisely because of this that Lina recalled Si Mochen who was with Xia Zhichu. He was a living person with flesh and blood, emotions, and humanity.
"President, the exhibition is about to begin, and the organizers would like to invite you as a guest to present the awards. I asked for your opinion."
At this time, Yan Sen appeared in front of the two of them.
To be honest, Si Mochen doesn't like this kind of occasion. Usually, no matter what social engagements he has, he lets Yan Sen handle them. If Lina hadn't been shortlisted for this exhibition, and if there was a big project to discuss in Milan, Si Mochen would not have appeared here.
Now that the organizer has invited him, given his dull temper, he naturally won't accept it.
As expected, the man waved his hand and said, "Push it."
Yan Sen didn't know what to say, so he could only leave in disappointment and go to respond to the organizer.
After Yan Sen left, Lina said with deep regret, "If I could get the award from the CEO himself, I would definitely never forget this experience. Maybe I would be more motivated to create greater benefits for Chuchen Company in the future. Are you sure you won't consider it?"
The teasing tone, coupled with Lina's chest-crossing posture, relaxed the originally tense atmosphere a little.
However, Si Mochen responded coldly, "Chuchen Company pays you quite a bit every month. Creating greater profits for the company is your responsibility. Are you sure it's appropriate for you to negotiate with me about this matter now?"
Having guessed the man would say that, Lina shrugged as if she had been turned away. "Fine, just pretend I didn't say anything. You're the boss, you have the final say!"
The man scoffed silently and continued to lean back in his chair with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he remembered something, opened his eyes, looked at Lina, and said, "By the way, where is this Ru Meng? Let's continue to investigate. If she is available, we can consider signing her."
After Si Mochen lost his memory, he had long forgotten the original intention of establishing Chuchen Company, which was to create a brand exclusively for Xia Zhichu and give it to Xia Zhichu as a wedding gift.
However, after he woke up, he continued his business model as before, using Chuchen Company as a tool to gain profits. Not only did he list the company, he also hired many professional designers to join the design department.
Lina was not surprised at all that he wanted to sign Rumeng now.
"Okay, once Ru Meng shows up, I'll definitely investigate her background!"
Backstage.
A slender figure rushed in anxiously, scanning the entire room, as if looking for something important.
But there were too many people at the scene, and she wandered around in the crowd in a panic, bumping into passers-by from time to time.
"sorry."
"Are you okay? I'm sorry."
"sorry!"
After repeatedly stepping on the audience's skirts and touching their drinks, Xia Zhichu could only clasp his hands together and apologize continuously.
At this moment, a small figure suddenly came into view, and Xia Zhichu quickly chased after it.
After grabbing the other's chubby little hand, she scolded him harshly, "Xia Nianchen, didn't Mommy tell you not to run around? Why are you so disobedient?"
Xia Nianchen, the child of Xia Zhichu and Si Mochen.
After surviving a disaster six years ago, Xia Zhichu unexpectedly learned that she was pregnant with Si Mochen's child.
But because she was very weak, she had been lying in bed to protect the fetus since she became pregnant, and only went out to work after the child was born safely.
Who knew that I would give birth to two little devils who have been giving me endless worries since they were born.
That's right, she became pregnant with twins and gave birth to a boy and a girl.
The son is named Xia Nianchen and the daughter is named Xia Nianchu.
But Xia Nianchen is here, where is Xia Nianchu?
"Where's my sister?" Xia Zhichu couldn't find his daughter, so he turned his head and asked his son.
The little guy is only five years old, but his facial features are already very similar to Si Mochen, with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that are also a copy and paste version of Si Mochen.
But her daughter is different. Xia Nianchu looks very much like herself.
But when looking at Xia Nianchen, Xia Zhichu always thought of Si Mochen uncontrollably, and didn't know how Si Mochen was doing since he left without saying goodbye six years ago.
