Chapter 264: Don't Give Face to Anyone
Although Song Yanming made a lot of money and never stopped making it, it was obviously not enough compared to the previous glory of the Song Group.
He is determined to become bigger and stronger so as not to lose to the past. Now is the time for him to make a breakthrough. Why he would take out money to invest in a city-level fashion competition is puzzling.
At least from the perspective of an outsider like Xu Yi, this is unwise.
After the results of the re-selection came out, they went on stage to present their works. Zhou Zhiyin had the aura of a lady from a noble family, while Xu Yi was cute and lovely, and they were equally matched.
Among the top twenty in the re-selection, Zhou Zhiyin ranked first, Xu Yi ranked third, with one person in between.
The first three stood in the front for a group photo, showing off their designs. Xu Yi smiled at the camera, and Zhou Zhiyin was very graceful and elegant.
The second person in the middle looked at Xu Yi meaningfully.
Zhou Minglan's ranking was only one vote away from Xu Yi. She never expected that she would not only lose to her cousin after coming all the way from abroad to Jiangcheng for the competition, but she also lost to a person whose name she couldn't even figure out.
Xu Yi withdrew her gaze from the camera and happened to see the second place looking at her with an unfriendly look.
She smiled, and Zhou Minglan's face became even worse.
How dare he challenge her? Who is he?
After the competition, waiting for the finals, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. When leaving the court, she walked with Zhou Zhiyin, "Sister, who is she?"
"what?"
"The third one."
Zhou Zhiyin didn’t know why Zhou Minglan suddenly noticed Xu Yi. Maybe he posed a threat to her?
Zhou Zhiyin found this new and exciting. Her cousin had always been arrogant since she was a child. This time, she came from abroad to compete in Jiangcheng and was even more confident. She said to her on the phone, "Sister, you go first and I go second. It's already been decided."
"What if there's an accident? Don't be so absolute."
"How could there be any accidents? I would only be willing to lose to you."
just now……
Zhou Minglan's heart was beating fast. "She and I were only one vote apart. I would be third."
It's not even the finals yet, but she's already ranked third in the re-election. If this gets out, she'll be laughed to death.
I rushed back to Jiangcheng to compete and got third place...
Zhou Zhiyin was afraid that Zhou Minglan would have some bad temper, so she had to say, "She is my friend, let's have healthy competition, okay? This is not a foreign country, there are not so many inside stories, so take it easy."
"I'm not that kind of person, sis..."
Zhou Minglan got angry and wouldn't give face to anyone.
Zhou Zhiyin received a call from Rao Mengna, "Hello, Mom..."
"congratulations."
"There's still the finals to come. It's too early to be happy now."
Xu Yi wanted to change her clothes in the dressing room before leaving. The dress looked very stylish when worn in certain occasions, but outside of this occasion, she felt it was a bit eye-catching.
He reached out to open the zipper on the back, but couldn't reach it. Xu Yi tried several times in front of the mirror, but had to give up, picked up his belongings and left.
It went smoothly, and Li Ying and Wei Shan didn't do anything naughty.
Not far away, Han Fei and Yang Kun were both in the best viewing area, sitting in the front row. Song Yanming was also there. They all knew each other, but they didn't say hello and pretended not to know each other.
As soon as the game was over, Song Yanming left. Han Fei also left. After a few steps, he asked Yang Kun, "Are you not leaving yet?"
"Wait a minute."
"Don't forget what you promised Mr. Xiao."
"Ah."
Yang Kun didn't tell anyone that Zhou Yuanshan had already found him and warned him to stay away from Zhou Zhiyin, otherwise he would not be able to stay in Jiangcheng.
Yang Kun had hesitated about Zhou Zhiyin and didn't want to hurt her, but he knew very well in his heart that if he continued, nothing would happen between him and Zhou Zhiyin.
Zhou Zhiyin could accept what he did, but the Zhou family certainly could not accept it.
She was kind to Zhou Zhiyin, and it was impossible for Zhou Yuanshan to let his precious daughter be with him legitimately.
It would be better to give her to Xiao Yuanzhong, so that he can get something instead of being left with nothing.
Zhou Zhiyin was answering the phone in an area off the field. He could see her. She was wearing a white dress with a mermaid-colored back, like a fairy from a dream world.
It turns out that a beautiful woman can really make a man unable to stop.
He didn't believe this before he met Zhou Zhiyin.
Xu Yi left early. Most people would stay in the venue to make some connections, chat and have some snacks.
Song Yuqian also sent her a message asking her if she wanted to stay for a while. Xu Yi was in a hurry to go back to continue her work in the studio, so she said no and asked the two of them to wait for her in the underground parking lot.
Carrying the bag, I walked around a place where celebrities gathered, wearing dresses and drinking wine, it was gorgeous and dazzling.
Just as she was about to leave, a foot suddenly stepped on the hem of her black skirt.
Xu Yi looked back and saw a woman in a red dress.
Isn’t this the second place winner in the re-election, the person who just stood with her to display his work?
"Hello, what's the matter?"
Zhou Minglan looked her over and said, "Have a drink before you leave."
"I have a date with friends and I have other things to do. Excuse me."
"Which company are you from?"
Xu Yi said the name of his studio, and Zhou Minglan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I know a lot of companies in Jiangcheng, but I haven't heard of this one."
"You haven't heard that it's normal."
Zhou Minglan's expression changed. "Are you mocking me for being ignorant?"
Xu Yi:?
"I don't mean that. It's just that our studio is small and we haven't made it known to everyone yet."
Why are you pretending? Zhou Minglan became even more unhappy.
What she meant was, she, who came from a small studio, could beat her. Wasn't that an insult to her?
Xu Yi spoke a few words to Zhou Minglan and felt that the other person was full of thorns, which made him very uncomfortable.
Different from the stupid Wei Shan and Li Ying, the woman opposite is very sharp and her eyes make people feel uncomfortable.
"Do you feel a sense of accomplishment because you are only one vote away from me?"
"I have something else to do. I'll leave now. See you in the finals."
Zhou Minglan blocked her way and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhou Minglan's arrogance attracted many people's attention, including Wei Shan and Li Ying, who also came over after smelling the smell. "What's wrong, Miss Zhou?"
Li Ying knew Zhou Minglan and knew her fame. Her brother was Zhou Mingchen, a well-known figure.
"Xu Yi, Miss Zhou flew from abroad to Jiangcheng specially to participate in this competition. How could you provoke Miss Zhou? Guests are guests." Li Ying said unhappily.
Xu Yi didn't know this person and didn't know his background, but seeing that Li Ying had become his background, he thought he must be someone special.
"Did I provoke you, Miss Zhou?"
"You pissed me off." Zhou Minglan said word by word.
"What's going on over there?"
"Go and see..."
Wei Shan was also anxious to speak up for Zhou Minglan, "Xu Yi, don't think you can be disrespectful to Miss Zhou just because you have Song Yanming's support. I tell you, ten Song Yanmings are no match for one Zhou Mingchen."
Just then, Song Yanming, who had been waiting for Xu Yi for a long time, arrived.
Everyone was dumbfounded. "Why is he here? Only those who have received an invitation letter can come here, or they are contestants..."
Zhou Minglan was stunned when she looked at Song Yanming. She had never seen such a handsome man. Every detail about him touched her heart.
Song Yanming casually put his arm around Xu Yi's waist, "Everyone, do you have any questions?"
