Chapter 352 Be His Only One

Song Yuqian followed Yuan Siyu's gaze and saw a very handsome man.

He had a cold and gloomy face, was very tall, with sunken eye sockets, and had the three-dimensional appearance of an oriental man. When he was stared at, he frowned slightly.

Song Yuqian retracted her gaze and looked at Yuan Siyu's infatuated face. She sighed, "Men like this usually have no shortage of women around them."

"Then I'll be one of his women, okay?"

Song Yuqian slapped her on the head, "You are useless. You want to be the only one you can't be!"

“It’s okay to lower your requirements.”

"No, if you lower your standards, they will get lower and lower. Women should never lower their standards."

"I know, I know. I'll just take a look. Is that not okay?"

"Look, you can."

Song Yuqian turned around, looked at Zhou Mingchen again, and then rolled her eyes at Zhou Mingchen.

Backstage, Judy walked up to Xu Yi and asked her, "Want to chat?"

Few people submitted their manuscripts, and there were almost no people backstage. After Zhou Zhiyin submitted her manuscript and went backstage, she said hello to Xu Yi and fell asleep on the sofa.

Everyone is waiting for the results.

Xu Yi couldn't sleep and kept eating. She usually felt sleepy only when she was very full and didn't want to move.

Xu Yi looked up at Judy and said, "Sure, please sit down."

Rachel Lin also invited Judy to sit down.

Judy has a bad temper and is very straightforward, the type who speaks her mind.

Every time she spoke in English, Xu Yi had to slow down for a while before he could understand. Rachel Lin was better at English and talked more with Judy.

Xu Yi continued eating, since nothing could stop her from eating.

After a while, the staff at the competition site suddenly found Xu Yi. Xu Yi thought someone was questioning his work, so he quickly followed the staff.

Lin Rachel asked, "Is there any problem?"

"We only communicate with Miss Xu Yi."

There are only a few people who have submitted their manuscripts. If it is delayed any further, this competition will probably have to be postponed overnight.

However, the date of the next run-off election has not yet been determined. If the primary election takes a few days, the organizers can afford the time...

Lin Rachel looked worried, "Are you from the organizer? Can you see my work badge?"

The organizer quickly showed his work badge. Xu Yi and Lin Rachel looked at it. Lin Rachel was still a little worried and said to Xu Yi, "Be careful."

Xu Yi nodded and wanted to say something to Zhou Zhiyin as well, but seeing that she looked very tired, he did not disturb her and left the backstage.

Judy asked Lin Rachel, "What could the organizer want from her?"

"I am not sure as well."

Lin Rachel smiled and said, "Maybe you have some questions about her work."

"What is she from?"

When he was on the stage just now, he looked extraordinary, yet unfamiliar.

Rachel Lin said quickly, “We are from Jiangcheng, and she is the first place in the Jiangcheng competition.”

“First place?”

"Yes, first place. Jiangcheng is very big and she is very famous in Jiangcheng."

As she spoke, Rachel Lin started chatting with Judy about Jiangcheng.

Rachel Lin was very nervous and felt it was incredible that she had the opportunity to chat with Judy.

"Miss Judy, you are also very famous. I have seen your work."

"Really? Thank you..."

Xu Yi, wearing a blue dress, came out from the backstage and walked into a passage.

The passage is covered with red carpet and decorated in a palace style.

The further they went in, the farther away the sound from the competition stage became. Xu Yi couldn't help but frown slightly.

"If the organizer approached me about the work, it shouldn't be in this direction."

The staff member was about to explain when a white man came from the other direction. Owen took the initiative to shake his hand and said, "Hello, Ms. Xu Yi, someone wants to meet you."

Owen's Chinese is not very good and sounds a bit awkward.

Xu Yi wanted to say, you should speak English, but then he thought about how poor his English was, and if he asked others to speak English, he wouldn't understand what they were saying, and he would be humiliating himself.

So I asked, "Excuse me, who is the person who is looking for me? Can you tell me? It's a bit strange to go inside from the backstage. Inside is not the place I should go."

"Ms. Xu Yi, please rest assured that we are not bad people."

Xu Yi felt like laughing when she heard Owen speak Chinese, but she would rather see him make a fool of himself. As long as she didn't speak English, she wouldn't be embarrassed...

"Your Chinese is very good, sir."

"Thank you."

Owen was very straightforward. He could not tell that she was speaking in a sarcastic way. He just thought that Xu Yi was praising her. "Ms. Xu, please come this way."

Xu Yi took a deep breath, thinking that a competition as big as the Muse Competition would not have any mistakes. Since it was the staff of the organizer who came to see her, the person who met her must be connected with the organizer.

But if it's official business, she won't be allowed in.

With some caution, Xu Yi followed Owen into the door of a room inside.

Xu Yi stopped and Owen bowed politely, "Please, Miss Xu."

Xu Yi had no way of moving forward.

She hesitated at the door and said, "I won't go in if there is something wrong..."

Just then, Zhou Mingchen walked to the door with coffee in his hand, "Owen, you go down first."

His Chinese is very good and standard, and his voice is slightly low, which gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Xu Yi recognized him. He was one of the investors and Zhou Minglan's brother.

She suddenly stopped laughing and took several steps back.

When she didn't know who he was, Xu Yi could smile at him and be polite, but she knew that he was Zhou Minglan's brother.

Like sister, like brother. Zhou Minglan had a grudge against her, so how could her brother be polite to her?

Xu Yi subconsciously wanted to run, and Owen stepped forward, "Miss Xu, don't be nervous, our President Zhou just wants to say a few words to you."

Xu Yi's face was tense. She lifted the hem of her light blue skirt and looked at the man standing at the door holding a cup of coffee.

The more Zhou Mingchen looked at her, the more he liked her. From a distance, she looked playful and cute, and up close, he couldn't help but want to touch her head.

But this was too offensive, so he smiled and said, "Ms. Xu, your relationship with Minglan is a woman's matter, and that's not why I came to you."

Seeing that Xu Yi was extremely nervous, Zhou Mingchen explained.

Xu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least Zhou Mingchen didn't look as aggressive as Zhou Minglan.

"Backstage is boring. The competition may not end until the evening. You know the progress..."

Xu Yi also felt that it should be over at least tonight. With the chaos on stage, it might end until tomorrow morning.

"Nothing special. Are you hungry, Miss Xu? I want to invite Miss Xu to eat something together."

"No need for that. You are the investor. This is not appropriate."

"No one knows. I haven't seen my compatriots for a long time. Seeing Miss Xu makes me feel at home. Miss Xu gives people a very kind feeling."

Xu Yi wanted to say, Lin Rachel and Zhou Zhiyin were there too, why didn't he call them along.

Zhou Mingchen added, "Ms. Xu, I want to make friends with you. I like your designs."

As the investor, Zhou Mingchen can see her design after it is submitted. Xu Yi felt a little relieved after hearing this.

Zhou Mingchen bent down and extended his hand to her like a gentleman, "Miss Xu, would you please do me the honor?"

"Let's do it another day, Mr. Zhou. This isn't good. I'm leaving now."

After all, it was a competition. If someone caught her in the act, Song Yanming would beat her ass to pieces when he got back to Jiangcheng...
