Qiao Zhen’s heart sank. In the end, she comforted her and rushed to the venue to hear the situation.
By the time she arrived, she had already missed her turn, and it was Qiao Yu’s turn.
​Â
Qiao Yu was passionately explaining on stage, but the design draft in her hands…
Qiao Zhen’s eyes turned cold. It was her design draft, and even the commentary lines were exactly the same!
As Qiao Yu’s speech ended, she received a round of applause from the audience.
The judges were even more surprised.
They all knew that Qiao Yu was good at the youthful style, but they did not expect to give everyone such a big surprise this time. She even succeeded in trying out a mature and steady new style.
Qiao Zhen pursed her lips and sat below the stage without making a sound.
Su Meng rushed to the meeting with tears on her face. When she saw Qiao Zhen, she apologized profusely.
“Sister Qiao, I’m sorry… I was too careless. I lost something so important. I’m sorry…”
Qiao Zhen pointed at Qiao Yu, who was being praised on stage. “You didn’t lose it. It’s with her.”
When Su Meng saw the situation on stage, her eyes widened. This design draft!
Wasn’t this Sister Qiao’s?
Why was it on stage? In Qiao Yu’s hands? !
Su Meng immediately understood. She didn’t lose the design draft by accident. Everything was planned!
“So it’s her! How could she do this! How could she do such a dirty thing! How disgusting! So a person who looks powerful is actually like this behind her back!”
Su Meng clenched her fists and her eyes were red. It was all her fault for not keeping it safe. Otherwise, all the glory would have belonged to Sister Qiao.
However, she could only endure it. If she were to expose it in public, she would be able to vent her anger, but she would not be able to protect the Gong Group’s reputation…
“Alright, I’m also responsible for this matter. The semi-finished product that was eliminated earlier is still there, right?”
Qiao Zhen calculated the time. Since she could not change it, she would open up another path.
“Yes, these are still there!” Su Meng hurriedly took out the semi-finished product from her bag.
Qiao Zhen took it and picked one. Then, without thinking, she started to write.
Su Meng was a little confused. What was Sister Qiao doing? It was like graffiti. The lines were messy, and it looked like the whole style was dark.
The more she looked at it, the more confused she became. Su Meng looked at it for a long time, but she didn’t know what Sister Qiao was going to do.
She thought that Qiao Zhen had suffered a blow and was venting. She was a little worried.
“Sister Qiao, don’t be sad. Let’s go back to the company and tell the president. When the time comes, there will definitely be a fair and reasonable answer.”
“Sister Qiao?”
Su Meng tried to persuade her again, but found that Qiao Zhen didn’t listen to her at all. Forget it. Looking at Qiao Yu who was being praised by everyone, Su Meng once again felt the darkness of human nature.
Qiao Zhen’s pen didn’t stop for a second. Instead, she was immersed in her own thoughts. Her hands moved faster and faster, constantly revising and sketching. All the things that came to her mind appeared on the paper. At this moment, Qiao Zhen was the real genius.
After Qiao Yu finished her introduction, she enjoyed the praise and applause from the crowd. It was as if she had already received the final reward. She was incomparably confident.
Qiao Yu looked at Qiao Zhen with her head lowered as she drew and smiled disdainfully.
What could she accomplish by rushing over at this time?
This project will definitely be mine!
As there were no other strong opponents, everyone present felt that the final winner would be Qiao Yu, so they started to flatter her even earlier.
The judges started to calculate the final score, and the host announced that there was only one absent person, Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen rushed to finish her drawing at the last second. She suddenly stood up and bowed to the bidder to apologize.
“I’m Qiao Zhen. I’m very sorry for being late today. Could you give me a chance to explain?”
The bidder looked left and right, still discussing whether they should give her a chance.
Qiao Yu stood up unhappily. “I don’t think it’s reasonable. Punctuality is the most basic principle of keeping one’s word. She didn’t follow it, so of course she can’t show it.”
Under Qiao Yu’s words, the bidders indeed felt that way. Businessmen valued credibility the most. They didn’t even have the most basic concept of time. How could they cooperate?
Moreover, they were so late. Even a minute was considered late.
Qiao Zhen saw that they had been incited, but she did not panic. Her attitude was sincere as she explained.
“It’s indeed my fault for being late. Even if it’s not included in the grading, it’s fine. I just want to tell you that I fully respect your project. I hope that you can see my sincerity in my work and see the preparation I’ve made for this project.”
The bidding side was a little lax. Since she had said so, everyone’s hard work deserved to be respected. It was fine to take a look.
Qiao Yu didn’t want Qiao Zhen to speak. Even though she had already taken her design drafts, she still felt uneasy and continued to sow discord.
“No matter what reason or sincerity, she can still be late for such an important occasion. How can you guarantee that she won’t be late or cause any losses in the future cooperation?”
