Because Zhong Qi had no contact with them at the venue yesterday, and it was too late, he forgot to notify them.

Zhong Qi stopped talking after hearing this, but sat quietly in his seat. He was going to rush over today, and now he can go there together.

After arriving at the venue, everyone was busy preparing for the start of the design conference.

The role of the people in the design department here is to screen out the better works, because there are too many people participating in the competition, and the company suddenly does not have enough manpower, so they are gone.

Originally, I thought that the temporary change of time would affect the number of participants, but when I actually arrived at the venue, I realized how many people were participating in the competition. I thought that 100 people would be too much, but I didn't expect that more than 500 people came directly this time, and the entire venue was instantly full.

When Zhong Qi entered the venue, he saw so many people, even if he was prepared, he was still taken aback. Looking at the crowd in front of him, he didn't know for a moment whether he should be proud of Knowles' influence or complain about Knowles's influence.

Without further delay, everyone hung up their hang tags and sat in specially prepared positions. All they need to do is to do a preliminary screening, and screen out those works that are indiscriminate or relatively inferior.

And that's just the beginning, and there's a second round of competition, and that's when the numbers drop dramatically. But now the workload is too huge, and the venue is constantly coming in. Even if some people are brushed down, the number of people has not decreased relatively speaking.

Although they are very tired, they will try their best to do things that should be within the scope of their work.

This kind of relatively good is still better, Zhong Qijiao is more miserable, and there is no time to be idle after arriving at the venue. He didn't have to sit there and watch the entries, but he kept running around the venue. Because he is mainly responsible for the venue, he will come to him when he has any questions.

"Whew~"

With a long breath, Zhong Qi, who finally had a moment of leisure, took a sip of water and sat on the stool next to him to rest. took out a tissue to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and sweated for him in the winter.

When I was resting, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. When she looked up, she saw someone she didn't want to see now.

Zhong Qijun came over early and kept watching Zhong Qi's movements. This time he made a sudden move, originally thought that Lou Jin would be caught off guard, but he didn't expect his adaptability to be so strong. Compressed to such a short period of time, it can still be completed.

The eyes of the two people met indifferently, neither of them said anything or stepped forward, they just stayed quietly in their original positions.

Zhong Qi saw a complicated light flashing in the eyes of the person who came, this person was originally someone she trusted. But the reality told her that her trust in him was worthless. Suppressing all kinds of emotions in his heart, he got up indifferently and walked towards the crowd. It's as if two people have never met, never known each other.

Zhong Qijun saw Zhong Qi's reaction, and his hand involuntarily clenched into a fist. Zhong Qi's move undoubtedly angered him, but he wouldn't give up so easily. He will get what he wants, by any means.

Glancing firmly in the direction of Zhong Qi's departure, he turned around and walked towards the gate. He would give him a certain amount of time to sort out his thoughts, but he didn't have the patience to wait any longer.

Zhong Qi pretended to be strong and walked in the crowd, always feeling the gaze behind him. When he couldn't feel it anymore, his body suddenly relaxed, and when he looked back, he found that the person had gone away, and his heart was slightly relieved.

She had thought that when she said goodbye, she would excitedly go up to him and ask him why he did that. But after meeting people, she suddenly felt that all these disputes were meaningless. All of a sudden, I was very tired and tired, tired and didn't want to worry about these things anymore, I didn't want to think about these annoying things anymore.

Naturally, these things did not escape Lou Jin's eyes, and he also knew that Zhong Qijun's patience was about to run out. Looking at the mountains of things to deal with at hand, for the first time, he, a workaholic, felt that he never wanted to work again.

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart and devoting himself to work, he wants to deal with the matter here as quickly as possible and rush back to the little woman's side.

When Zhong Qi was in a daze, someone suddenly looked for her again. The sudden busyness of work interrupted what she was thinking. Sort out your emotions a little and devote yourself to work again.

Today's little episode flashed by like this, and no one took it to heart.

After yesterday's busyness, more than half of the people have been brushed down, and now there are only more than 200 people left in the entire competition.

If you review them one by one, it will be nothing more than a waste of everyone's time, so Zhong Qi thought of a way. Originally, this design conference was not a place for her to speak, but because she won the first place internally, relatively speaking, everyone still believed in her strength.

She felt that the men should be numbered and divided into eleven teams, exactly two hundred and twenty people. There are 20 people in each team, and only 10 people can make the cut. This time, it was not a private preparation, but a direct on-site investigation to test everyone's resilience.

In the venue, there are enough tools for them to create. Everyone is the same topic, the same time, and those who can't draw within the specified time are directly eliminated.

For a while, there was silence in the venue, and all that could be heard was the sound of "rustling" paintings.

Zhong Qi gave everyone enough time, because her teacher had trained her like this and let her know the approximate time. She gave them two hours, even half an hour longer. If they can't finish the drawing, there will be no need to continue the next game.

One after another, some people stopped the brushes in their hands, and instead of rushing to hand in the manuscript directly, they checked their own design draft to see if there was anything that needed to be modified. After checking it, I decided that there was nothing to revise, so I handed in my manuscript. Then find a random place to sit quietly and not disturb other people's designs.

The second round of review did not begin until everyone had stopped their brushes, and everyone was placed aside to rest after handing in their work.

For the sake of the relative fairness of the competition, the eleven people in charge of the review directly spread the works on the ground and looked at them one by one. A lot of obvious ones can't be brushed down directly, and the best of the best will be selected after screening out the rest.

The people waiting outside kept their quiet, but they unreservedly revealed their inner unpeace. Some are walking back and forth, some are playing games to relieve their tension, and some are just closing their eyes and sitting on the side to rest.

When the final result came out, some people were happy, some people doubted, and some people turned away lonely.

Life is what it is, giving you a heavy blow when you are full of faith. When you are discouraged, it will give you an unexpected surprise.

Zhong Qi looked at the scene in front of him with indescribable emotion.

After selecting about 110 people, the next round is the third round. After all, the first two rounds of the competition consumed a lot of energy, so the third round will give everyone a chance to relax. This time the competition is scheduled for a week later. But within a week, everyone has to design a finished dress, and the main focus is the new product launch for the next season.

When I heard that I had a week's rest, everyone inevitably felt a sense of relief in their hearts. But when I heard the request later, my heart unconsciously raised it again.

After saying these familiar words, the people in the design department were undoubtedly relieved. These two days of high-intensity work have made them mentally tired, and they can also take advantage of this time to rest a little more.

Zhong Qi didn't have the heart to think about resting, and now that she was suddenly idle, she felt that she should find something else to do. Because she was afraid that if she didn't do anything else, she couldn't help but want to know all these things.

Now that she knew that she was about to take it anymore, she was not mentally ready to accept the next thing.

Lou Jin's work here is very tricky, and Zhong Qijun didn't leave any affection this time. Even if he wanted to run back to see his little woman once, he didn't have any chance, and his daily itinerary was full. When to meet the people you work with, and when to go to a dinner to dredge up your relationship. All of this needs him to come out in person, otherwise it will not work if he changes someone else.

These days, while worrying about the condition of the little woman, I am busy with the company's affairs. He is such a forbearant person, he feels that if he doesn't finish all this in a week, he will definitely go back desperately.

Zhong Qi came out of the venue and walked on the quiet street, his heart was empty, and he suddenly didn't know what he should do.

"Zhong Qi." At this moment, someone behind her suddenly called her name.

Looking back, I saw Chen Ruyu's figure from far and near, and she didn't stop until she ran in front of her.

"How are you, how are you... Walk so, fast. Chen Ruyu said breathlessly, holding Zhong Qi's arm and standing up.

"What's wrong? I just came out of it. Zhong Qi looked at her friend's appearance and asked to help her breath.

"We can rest for half a day today, how about we go to dinner?" Chen Ruyu asked Zhong Qi's opinion, the light in her eyes flickered, full of anticipation.

The two of them haven't been out together for a long time, and I have to say that it's just right time today. Recently, Chen Ruyu can clearly find that Zhong Qi's mood is wrong, but she has resisted it. In addition to the previous conflict with Zhong Qi, although they have been reconciled, they still want to enhance the relationship between the two people.

Zhong Qi originally wanted to refuse, but just thought that he wouldn't have anything to do when he went back, so he decided to go out with Chen Ruyu.

called the old housekeeper and explained the situation, and then went out with Chen Ruyu.

At first, the two of them wandered aimlessly, and neither of them said much. After going through the previous events, there was more or less awkwardness between the two people. Although the relationship has eased, the crack remains.

Both of them have the heart to restore their feelings for each other, either in silence to organize what they want to say, or they are both waiting for a suitable opportunity to speak.

"You..."

"You..."

At the same time, the two people stopped and looked at each other, and said at the same time, hearing each other's voices, the two of them were obviously stunned. Then they looked at each other and smiled, an indescribable tacit understanding.

"I'll start with that." Chen Ruyu said with a smile, without the slightest twist. At that moment just now, I found the feeling of being together again.

Zhong Qi smiled softly, looked at her friend in front of her, and quietly waited for what she was going to say next. The moment just now was the most relaxed time she had ever felt in so many days. She loved it and didn't want to lose the friend in front of her.
