When I woke up, I felt terrible.

He sighed deeply and covered his eyes with his hands.

Of course, the main reason why it doesn't happen often is because the adoring and obsessed eyes, all kinds of crazy confessions and shameless seductions from the girls around him make him feel ugly and disgusting.

Women are all hypocrites. Like the women around that person, they always like to wear false masks, one thing in front of them and another behind their backs.

Those women always treat him well in front of that man, but in fact they hate his existence and regard him as unnecessary.

Of course, in order to get close to that man, there are also women who deliberately try to please him in various ways, treating him well as a means, hoping to use his words to make that man notice.

He had been deceived several times and never believed it again - especially the woman next to that person.

The first time I heard the name Jiang Weicheng was more than a year ago.

The man was on the phone at that time, his tone was soft and gentle, and he was very patient, as if he was answering something for her.

Huo Xichen didn't take it to heart at first. He estimated that it would only take a few months for the other person to reveal his true colors and be dumped by him. But he didn't expect that this time it lasted for so long. Even Plato who was far away didn't let that person

People's interest wanes.

In his opinion, he may have encountered a strong enemy this time.

He didn't want to have many hypocritical and disgusting women in his family in the future, so he finally decided to take action himself to expose her true colors.

But this plan seems to have deviated a bit from the beginning.

Now, he actually does it because of her...

Huo Xichen lay there, not wanting to move at all. The strangeness there made him feel negative and did not want to deal with it.

I don’t know how long I had been lying there, but the sound of the other party’s footsteps coming downstairs was heard outside the room. After a while, the footsteps came to his door: “Xiaochen, aren’t you going to school today?”

He had to respond: "Well, you don't have to report so early today."

"Okay, I made a sandwich for breakfast. The milk is in the refrigerator. I'll go first."

"Yes, I understand, Teacher Jiang."

He responded again, but his cheeks slowly burned.

If she knew that he was in this state because of her, he wouldn't know what kind of expression he had in those clear brown eyes.

Do you feel disgusted and disgusted?

A few days into the new work week, Jiang Weicheng discovered that in the design team, Chen Zheng, who was originally not very fond of her, suddenly changed his attitude. There was no longer overt or covert targeting, and the work began to cooperate.

She felt a little strange. The atmosphere at the previous Friday dinner was indeed quite good, but she didn't really believe that one meal could change a person's attitude.

But she won't be stupid enough to ask the other person directly. The workplace is like a battlefield. No matter how the attitudes of the people around her change, good or bad, she will still retain a cautious attitude.

However, now that the other party is so cooperative, it will make it easier for her to become proficient in actual work faster.

Even if Chen Zheng is an ordinary designer and she is a senior designer, the other party can calmly stumble her at work based on his experience.

Many times, theoretical knowledge alone is not enough. The domestic fashion design market is different from that of foreign countries, so she has to continue to learn in this aspect.

Sometimes you want to quickly accumulate connections and experience. In addition to actual work, participating in competitions is also a good way.

She originally competed in Italy in order to quickly and better integrate into the design and fashion circles there, so after returning, she also paid attention to domestic competitions.

Small competitions are not authoritative enough. She has already won several awards, so there is not much point in participating again.

That day, when she was browsing the website, she saw the women's clothing design competition released by the fashion magazine "Neon Shang".

Jiang Weicheng's current focus is on men's clothing, but she was actually first exposed to women's clothing.

"Nishang" is a first-tier magazine that has achieved sales success many times and has held more than one fashion show, but this is the first time it has launched a design competition.

She looked through the competition process and found that the rules were similar. She had to submit renderings, designer information, etc. before the end of October. The finalists were announced in early December and displayed publicly, and the physical finals were held in January of the following year.

Compared with other design competitions that have been held for many times, the most different thing about this competition released by "Nishang" is the bonus that the first prize can get - it is two million!

This is simply crazy! In normal well-known design competitions, the first prize bonus basically ranges from 100,000 to 200,000, but in this brand-new competition, the bonus has actually increased more than ten times. In addition to the first prize, the third prize

There is also a bonus of half a million!

In addition, "Nishang" will provide an annual fashion show for the first, second and third prize winners to showcase their winning works!

You should know that the annual fashion show of "Neon Shang" has never featured designs by newcomers. It has always been dominated by the giants in the design industry.

Every year, celebrities in the entertainment and fashion circles test their status as fashionistas by whether they can be invited to the show by "Nice Fashion".

Such a reward is simply the perfect combination of money and fame.

With such a list of rewards, even the weird rules in the competition rules, which stipulate that the age must be between 20 and 30 years old, have graduated from college, and have no plans to get married and have children in the past three years, do not seem so obtrusive.

She vaguely felt that there should be a bigger capital behind "Neon Shang" magazine. She didn't know the purpose yet, but for Jiang Weicheng now, such a competition was simply an opportunity from heaven.

At the same time, S city.

The atmosphere among the top management of Yaren Clothing Supplies Company has been a bit sluggish recently. They have lost several large orders in succession. He Wen and several senior staff on his side held several meetings and always felt that these orders had nothing to do with Yaren.

Several other directors of Ren are inseparable from each other.

The He family owns 45% of the shares of Yaren Clothing, and the directors add up to only 40%, and they are not aligned. Therefore, after He's father was hospitalized, he finally came to the rescue despite heavy pressure.

Stabilized the company.

But He's father has not been discharged from the hospital. The company recently held a board meeting, and the atmosphere became subtle again. If a big order is lost this time, those few people will definitely make a fuss about it next time.

He Wen and senior staff discussed countermeasures, but the countermeasures were not so easy to think of. Sales industry data speaks for itself, and this matter is not easy to handle.

In the depressing atmosphere, Lu Keran spoke up, saying that it was already late and that everyone couldn't stand it even after working overtime for several days. Why not just stop here today and get off work earlier and go back to rest.

People in the company knew that Lu Keran had a good relationship with He Wen. Of course, some people in private said that she was actually He Wen's girlfriend, but they just didn't put it on the table.

But no matter what, even though Lu Keran holds the title of chief designer, many high-ranking officials will listen to what she says.

As usual, they looked at He Wen's expression and saw that he had no objection, so they packed up their things and left work one by one.

"It's dinner time, go eat first, don't worry about work, you still have me."

She smiled at him, as if she meant something.

He Wen quickly understood the reason why Lu Keran said this.

In the near future, Yaren plans to compete with two other clothing companies of similar status in S City for Gu's new brand investment and cooperation project.

As we all know, the Gu family is a predator in B City, and the current person in charge, Gu Jue, is even more of a business wizard with sharp methods. Once he can get on the big ship of the Gu family, He Wen will no longer have to worry about the directors' various petty actions for at least the next three years.

However, it has not even reached the preliminary contact stage yet. S City has just received news that Gu has this intention. Before the actual contact, preliminary preparations are very important.

When we actually start to contact you later, the other party will consider it from all aspects, and the reputation of the company's designers is also an important consideration.

"We must obtain Gu's investment, so I am ready to participate in this competition."

Lu Keran handed the open page on his tablet to He Wen opposite him in the western restaurant where he was having dinner.

"The women's clothing design competition of "Neon Shang" magazine?"

He took a cursory glance and said, "The bonus is a bit exaggerated——"

"What I like is the fashion show. The winning works will be on the stage of the annual fashion show of "Neon Shang". This will be a qualitative increase in my popularity."

He Wen looked at the process again: "Indeed, if a designer in the company can win the award... So, what do you think if other designers in the company participate?"

"..." Lu Keran almost stopped breathing, and had no choice but to say: "With such bonuses and rewards, no matter which designer finally wins the award, he (she) will probably not continue to work in the company. Contracts like this

It’s impossible to keep people with things!”

He Wen sneered lightly: "But in such a competition, you can't stop the designers in the company from participating. Those who want to leave after winning will eventually leave.

It would be better for the company to announce it and also mention some rewards, such as dividends and a small number of shares. If someone really wins the prize, there is at least a possibility of retaining it."

Lu Keran raised his head and stared deeply at He Wen: "If I win the prize, there is no need for dividends or shares. I will stay and help you."

"Thanks."

He Wen glanced at the other party and noticed the excessively hot light in Lu Keran's eyes, and felt a slight pause in his heart.

Ever since H City came back that day, he always felt that something was different about her.

But if he was asked to say it specifically, he couldn't tell, it was just a vague feeling.

"Starting tomorrow, I will spend part of my time drawing game pictures. It's a rare day today. Will I go to LB to sit down later?"

LB is a bar near her home. It's quiet and soothing. It's perfect for a drink and a chat. He Wen and she used to go there often to have a party with other friends.

So, He Wen nodded in agreement.
Chapter completed!
