Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 38



Chapter 38: Growth

It was also because Qiao Rou’s design was too stunning that she won over the judges and got first place.

Gu Zheng had also looked at Qiao Rou’s design. Although it was good, he had a strange feeling that this style did not match Qiao Rou’s.

Hence, he did not vote for Qiao Rou.

On the other hand, Qiao Xi’s evaluation of this design was: ‘The designing process is flawed. All designers need to sharpen themselves and persist in coming up with original designs.’

The sharp edge of a sword came from sharpening it, while the fragrance of plum blossoms came from the bitter cold.

As long as you persevered, you would eventually walk your own path.

Unfortunately…

Too many people liked to take shortcuts..

Qiao Rou was stunned when Qiao Xi admitted that she was Gu Shan. No, impossible! How could she be Gu Shan?!

“I don’t know why everyone is saying Qiao Rou is my disciple, but as the temporary substitute teacher in Li City University, I have indeed guided Qiao Rou before. I can’t deny that she’s very talented in fashion design.”

Qiao Xi raised her chin slightly and said in an unhurried tone, “Perhaps it’s because I cherish talent. Also, I was entrusted with the job by someone else. I hope that our country can produce more outstanding designers, so I gave Qiao Rou more pointers. For the things she didn’t understand, I also taught her through the computer screen.

“At that time, I was working on a new design. Qiao Rou saw it and asked a few questions. It’s the one she has submitted for this competition… It’s called Growth.”

Qiao Xi pulled out a copy of her original design from her phone, and the cameraman cleverly aimed the camera at the screen of her phone.

The design was mainly based on the five grains with the wheat ear skirt as the highlight.

When everyone saw Qiao Rou’s design, they could not help but be amazed. However, now that they were looking at Qiao Xi’s original design, they finally understood what it meant that a dupe could never beat an authentic product!

Growth! Growth!

Her dress was full of layers and layers. The golden wheat ears seemed to ripple like a golden rice field during a windy day.

The golden waistline was stitched with wheat. It supported the top half of the dress and also held up the heavy wheat ears. It did not have a sexy deep V but a perfect little V-neck. The neckline was decorated with a thin layer of tulle. When the wind blew, the tulle would sway gently.

This was the real Growth!

After giving them sufficient time to digest the new information, Qiao Xi slowly opened her mouth again. “Before accepting the invitation to be a judge for this competition, I heard that the winner will have the opportunity to enter Gu Corporation. It just so happened that Gu Corporation extended a sincere invitation to me, hoping to collaborate with me for this season’s designs.”

“That’s why I chose five grains to be the topic this year. I wanted to discover designs that would fit my five grains series. I wanted to take a glimpse at high-end and mid-end fashion designs. Unfortunately…”

Qiao Xi shook her head.

Unfortunately, everything was ruined by Qiao Rou.

Song Shiyu did not care whether Qiao Rou had plagiarized or not. What he cared about was that the madam was Gu Shan! Moreover, the madam wanted to collaborate with Gu Corporation!

Master Gu Shan, whom they had been unable to reach out to, was actually beside them this whole time!

Song Shiyu thought that his eyes were useless!

“Impossible, you can’t be Gu Shan! How can you be Gu Shan?!” Qiao Rou went crazy. She could not take it anymore and shouted, “You’re lying, you’re not Gu Shan at all! Don’t be deceived by her! She can’t be Gu Shan!”

“Why? Are you going to say that I’m a country bumpkin again?”

Qiao Xi looked at her indifferently. “Because I came from the countryside, it’s natural for me to be ridiculed? Because I came from the countryside, I know nothing and should crawl to your feet for the sake of your ego and self-satisfaction?”

Qiao Rou staggered back. “No, no, it’s not like that…”

How could she accept the fact that the person she had been stepping on was suddenly stepping on her?!

After this dramatic scene, Qiao Rou was forced to leave.

The first-place winner was revoked, and they announced the second place. No one was paying attention to the person’s acceptance speech as everyone was staring at Qiao Xi!

Among all these gazes, the gaze of the person beside her was the most unbearable.

Qiao Xi could not help but move her body and ask in a low voice, “Why are you looking at me?”

Gu Zheng said, “I’m looking at how my wife has transformed into the international designer, Gu Shan.”

Qiao Xi replied, “… There’s something wrong with you.”

Finally, when the curtains were drawn, Qiao Xi stood up and walked out.

Gu Zheng reached out to grab her, but all he got was air.

Looking at his empty hand, Gu Zheng’s eyes turned dark.

“President, what are you waiting for? Madam has already run away!”

Run?

Could she escape?

Gu Zheng got up unhurriedly and slowly walked out of the building under the respectful escort of the university leaders.
