The man with glasses smiled slightly: "Then what do you mean......"

The old man exhaled slowly: "Let's rest first, everyone is tired." ”

The man with glasses immediately answered, and everyone relaxed, drank water, or got up to go to the bathroom.

At this time, a figure in a suit and leather shoes walked in at the door, and walked straight towards the old man.

The visitor was about twenty-three years old, tall and thin, with barely delicate facial features, thin eyes and thin lips, and a brown scar under the corner of his left eye, which gave people a feeling of being difficult to get along with.

Seeing the person coming, the old man nodded, with a little evasiveness in his expression: "Second Shao." ”

The boy known as "Er Shao" grinned, and the scar under the corner of his eye looked a little hideous: "My father cares about the progress of the game and specially asked me to come over to take a look." ”

As he spoke, the boy sat down next to the old man, and his eyes fell on the design draft in front of the old man: "Is this a shortlisted work?" ”

The old man shook his head, saying that they were still discussing this work, but between the old man's words, they were all appreciating the work.

The boy picked up the design draft and looked at it, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "There are indeed remarkable places, but this inlay method and shape are too showy." ”

In the old man's mouth, "innovation and uniqueness" became a showman's mouth in the boy's mouth, and the old man's face was a little complicated for a while.

However, he also knew the temper of the second young master of the Song family, so he didn't say anything.

The experts came back one after another, and greeted the boy one after another, and when the boy responded, there was a bit of arrogance between his eyebrows, but everyone pretended not to see it.

Before leaving, the boy also glanced at the design draft: "You look at the review, anyway, I only need to participate in the semi-finals and finals, what a cutting-edge designer, it's just a flash in the pan." ”

As the words fell, the boy yawned and left the room, leaving behind the people who didn't look good.

The old man coughed lightly: "Let's continue." ”

Everyone nodded, and the review continued, as if the person had not been there.

Ten days have passed in a busy way, on this day, Zuo Xinxin was woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone in the morning, and as soon as the phone was connected, she heard Lu Xuan's sound of some explosions.

"You're still sleeping, the shortlist is out, can you still sleep?!"

Zuo Xinxin instantly sobered up: "The list is out?" ”

"Isn't it?!" Where Zuo Xinxin couldn't see, Lu Xuan stared at the computer with two dark circles under her eyes, she originally wanted to look at the list for Zuo Xinxin last night, but she accidentally stayed up all night.

Zuo Xinxin sat up suddenly, woke up Xiao Ai next to her, and sat up with the head of the chicken nest in a daze, her little face was very aggrieved.

Zuo Xinxin was a little excited: "Then, is there me on the list?" ”

Since Lu Xuan knew that the list was out, he must have also looked for her name, and listening to Lu Xuan's tone, it was obvious that he was ......

"I don't know, you can see for yourself, people say that the shortlisted designers will receive an email, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep, 886." Lu Xuan finished speaking in one breath and hung up the phone.

Although he guessed the result from Lu Xuan's reaction, he saw it lying in the mailbox with his own eyes

When the new email was received, Zuo Xinxin couldn't help but hug Xiao Ai and kissed her: "Great, Xiao Ai, Mommy has passed!" ”

Zuo Xinxin takes every competition very seriously, if she doesn't participate, she won't participate, once she participates, she will treat it as a challenge, and being shortlisted for the preliminary round shows that she is one step closer to the finals.

It also shows that she is one step closer to the truth.

After entering the semi-finals, Zuo Xinxin was completely sleepy, touched Xiao Ai's head, and got out of bed to find Jiang Yucheng, she wanted to tell him the good news!

The little guy on the bed was rubbed even more messy, and after watching Mommy leave, the little body slowly fell back and threw himself into the arms of the bed again.

As soon as Zuo Xinxin went out, she saw Jiang Yucheng walking towards here with long legs, the man was wearing light gray home clothes, his broken hair was casually on his forehead, and a pair of deep eyes were full of smiles.

It seemed that he knew, but Zuo Xinxin still said it again, the latter chuckled and hugged her, rubbed the top of her hair, and said softly: "I knew you would definitely be able to." ”

Zuo Xinxin pinched Jiang Yucheng's face and smiled brightly: "You are too confident in me." ”

Jiang Yucheng raised his eyebrows: "Of course, but why did you wake up so early?" ”

Is it early?

Zuo Xinxin glanced at the time, it was only six o'clock in the morning, did Lu Xuan stay up late or stay up all night?

and Jiang Yucheng, how can it seem that everyone is more attentive than her, but she, the client, fell asleep just now.

Seeing this, Jiang Yucheng pinched her face like Zuo Xinxin: "Go back to sleep, I'll go and make breakfast." ”

Zuo Xinxin shook her head, she was not sleepy now, so she said, "I'll come with you." ”

Jiang Yucheng did not refuse, as soon as the two of them went downstairs, Zuo Xinxin's mobile phone rang, and at first glance, it was Zhou Haisheng.

Seeing that the smile on Zuo Xinxin's face faded, Jiang Yucheng said: "Take it, anyone can see the list when it comes out." ”

Zuo Xinxin bowed slightly, and picked up: "Hey, Mr. Zhou." ”

Zhou Haisheng smiled: "Xinxin, why do you still call me that, it's too rusty." ”

Zuo Xinxin smiled and didn't speak, asking her to call an uncle who had just known her for less than two months, which was really unspeakable.

Zhou Haisheng didn't dwell too much on this issue, but just mentioned the shortlist: "Xinxin, you are now in the top 100 on the list, and you have great hope of entering the finals. ”

Zuo Xinxin said: "Mr. Zhou has won the award. ”

It's just something that a designer should have.

Zhou Haisheng continued: "But you can't take it lightly, during the rematch, there are several designers who directly enter the semi-final, with a 1 in 15 probability, I hope you don't live up to Uncle Zhou's expectations of you." ”

Designers who directly enter the semi-finals must have a certain strength and reputation in order to directly enter the semi-finals.

However, when Zuo Xinxin asked these designers further, Zhou Haisheng casually passed over and hung up the phone without saying much.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yucheng came out of the kitchen and saw Zuo Xinxin's face a little heavy.

Zuo Xinxin relayed Zhou Haisheng's words to Jiang Yucheng, who frowned: "This kind of thing is also very common, some designers don't need to participate in the semi-finals at all, but generally speaking, the information of these designers is not confidential, since Zhou Haisheng didn't tell you, it is estimated that there will be no clues." ”

Otherwise, there is no need for Zhou Haisheng to be so mysterious, even if he doesn't say it, Jiang Yucheng will check it.

Who is the designer who even has to keep his information secret for the rematch?

Zuo Xinxin's mood suddenly became a little heavy, she was originally going to choose 10 from the 150 places, and now someone has joined, and she doesn't know the number and information, which means that there are more powerful opponents invisibly.

Sure enough, every time Zhou Haisheng called, there was nothing good.

In this way, Zuo Xinxin was in no mood to make breakfast.

But things have come to this point, it is impossible for her to retreat, Zuo Xinxin glanced at Jiang Yucheng: "You cook first, I'll finish yesterday's design draft." ”

Jiang Yucheng kissed the top of her hair: "Go ahead, don't put too much pressure on yourself." ”

Watching Zuo Xinxin go upstairs, the gentleness between Jiang Yucheng's eyebrows gradually faded.

Zhou Haisheng knew that this phone call would bring great pressure to Zuo Xinxin, but he still called, the purpose was so obvious, Jiang Yucheng wanted to rush over and beat him.

Xiangcheng.

Zhou Haisheng hung up the phone, glanced at the safe in front of him, locked it gently, and then exited the room.

turned around, and saw a woman with short hair and a red dress standing at the top of the staircase, it was his wife, Wang Ran.

When Zhou Haisheng was suddenly unable to find him at home, Wang Ran would wait here, and the reason why she didn't dare to approach was because she knew that this room was a forbidden place for the Zhou family, and only Zhou Haisheng could enter.

Wang Ran hid the loss in his eyes and said softly, "Breakfast is ready, let's eat some." ”

Zhou Haisheng nodded, crossed Wang Ran and went downstairs, the breakfast on the table was simple and exquisite, exuding fragrance.

"This is your favorite bun, I made some more." As he spoke, Wang Ran picked up a fragrant bun and put it in front of Zhou Haisheng.

The latter looked at the bun, as if remembering something, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised an arc.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Wang Ran smiled and asked, "Did anything happy happen?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Haisheng raised his eyes and looked at the woman, Wang Ran's smile froze for a moment, and he was about to say something, when he heard Zhou Haisheng speak: "She came to me." ”

She?

Wang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, and said tentatively: "Her daughter? ”

Zhou Haisheng nodded, and sandwiched another bun, looking really in a good mood.

"It's good to find it, after so many years, it's good to find it." Wang Ran didn't know what to say for a while, and was a little incoherent.

Zhou Haisheng didn't listen to her carefully, and ate the buns unhurriedly, but Wang Ran didn't seem to have much appetite.

After breakfast, Zhou Haisheng's eyes fell on his wife, and he suddenly paused: "Did you cut your hair?" ”

Wang Ran was stunned for a moment, nodded with a stiff smile: "Yes." ”

Zhou Haisheng's expression remained unchanged, and he threw down a sentence, "Still."

Long hair is good-looking", wiped his mouth, got up and went upstairs.

Looking at the somewhat cold breakfast in front of him, Wang Ran's eyes were a little red.

After marrying Zhou Haisheng, she found out that he had someone else in his heart, that woman likes to wear red dresses and long hair, he kept hinting, but Wang Ran didn't want to be used as a substitute like this, so he could only keep his hair short.

Zhou Haisheng went upstairs and was about to go back to the room, but he was a little upset, so he went to the room at the end of the corridor again.

Zhou Haisheng took the towel and began to wipe the safe, although there was no dust on the box.

He said to himself while wiping: "Xiaoxiao, she inherited your talent and successfully entered the finals, but today, I deliberately put pressure on her, you won't blame me, right?" ”

After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Xiaoxiao, I really feel worthless for Xinxin, why can they start directly from the rematch, Xinxin doesn't have this privilege." ”

"I know, they are the descendants of the Song family, but so is Xinxin."

"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I will definitely protect Xinxin's safety, and when I finish this matter, I can come to see you without regrets."

“……”

Zhou Haisheng didn't know how long he had been talking, and he didn't know how many times he had wiped the safe, his tone was soft, his movements were more gentle, and the look on his face showed that people who didn't know thought he was facing his first love.
