Because of nervousness, Su Zhiqing's fingers were unconsciously entangled, and Xue Siqing, who had always been cold next to Lina, was also short of breath at this moment.

The two stared at Xue Zichen at the front without blinking.

Xue Zichen was accustomed to seeing such a scene, and stood up elegantly, holding the results of the competition that were enough to make all the designers crazy.

He first looked around, then slowly opened the list, and after a glance, the thin and moderate lips finally opened: "I have never liked to talk nonsense, so I went straight to the topic, this year's JHA jewelry competition, the third place, is the newcomer of Hengchuang Company - Xue Siqing." ”

As his words fell, there was a burst of applause in the venue, and all eyes were on Xue Siqing.

Su Zhiqing was no exception, turned her head and said sincerely: "Congratulations." ”

"Thank you." Xue Siqing's response was not very enthusiastic.

Third place?

It's a big gap from what she imagined.

Frowning invisibly, she looked at Su Zhiqing almost subconsciously.

herself third, what about her?

Sensing her gaze, Su Zhiqing didn't say anything, and her heart became more and more nervous.

Xue Zichen's voice continued to sound: "Okay, now announce the second place, coincidentally, it is also a newcomer to Hengchuang Company - Su Zhiqing, it seems that Hengchuang is worthy of its reputation." ”

The moment he finished speaking, Su Zhiqing was shocked to realize that her palms were sweating!

At the end of the word, her whole person was so excited that her breathing became disordered.

2nd Place......

She's in the top three......

At this moment, she couldn't describe how she felt.

And the first reaction in his mind was to share this joy with Gu Chen, but unfortunately he was not around.

Xue Siqing frowned irrepressibly, and the hands on her lap clenched.

She still hasn't won against Su Zhiqing!

With a long sigh of relief, she felt a lingering breath in her heart, uncomfortable.

She didn't even hear who the first place was in the end.

Announcing the end of the results is the usual award ceremony.

The three of them slowly came to the stage, and first Xue Zichen awarded the third place trophy to Xue Siqing.

In the end, Xue Siqing couldn't help but ask: "I want to know where the gap between me and Su Zhiqing is." ”

Xue Zichen glanced at Xue Siqing more when he heard this, he has always been more pleased with such a question, whether this question is just for the unwillingness in his heart or simply to improve his level, he welcomes it.

Xue Zichen said with appreciation: "The theme of this year's JHA jewelry competition is for the public, but your works are more high-end, and it is difficult to occupy more markets, and the design gap between you and Su Zhiqing is here." Her main love, skillfully combined with tenderness and heat, is a good breakthrough. ”

Xue Siqing quietly digested the words for a while, and then her eyes fell on Su Zhiqing's finished product, and she was finally relieved.

She smiled rarely: "I understand, thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Xue Zichen said that the person had already walked in front of Su Zhiqing, and smiled at her when others didn't notice, it was the kind of blessing between friends.

Su Zhiqing understood and returned with the same smile.

When Xue Zichen was about to hand her the trophy, a dissatisfied voice suddenly sounded from the audience: "Wait a minute!" I don't think the second place deserves its name! ”

When the people heard this, they looked at the source of the sound.

It turned out to be a contestant from another jewelry company.

Xue Zichen rarely encountered such a state, and when he heard this, he smiled: "Why? ”

In the end, Aaron, who is well-known at home and abroad, even if he is smiling now, still gives people invisible pressure.

The person who spoke shrank when he saw this, but quickly plucked up the courage to say: "Aaron, you and Su Zhiqing have a good relationship in private, and they even had dinner together two days ago, who knows if Su Zhiqing's second place was bribed?!" ”

She said it very reasonably, and her eyes were full of the word dissatisfaction.

But as her words fell, everyone looked at her with almost surprise in their eyes.

Who is Aaron?

He is mysterious, maverick, and his design industry knows it, and now some people actually question him for being unfair, and he is really a little newcomer who doesn't know the sky.

Xue Zichen was calm on his face, and asked rhetorically: "Since you said that Su Zhiqing's second place is not worthy of the name, then who do you think deserves it?" ”

"This ......," the man swallowed, his dark eyes rolling, and finally raised his neck and raised his head, "my designs are better than hers." ”

"Whew!" What he got was Xue Zichen's unsympathetic sneer.

"You...... What are you laughing at?! The man was a little annoyed, and he couldn't get off the stage.

And the seniors in the design industry of the jury felt even more ridiculous when they heard this.

Xue Zichen instantly restrained his smile, stared at her word by word, and said, "Your design, you can't even enter the top five." ”

The man's face turned pale, and he felt that there were mocking eyes all around him.

Xue Zichen didn't give her a chance to speak, and continued: "As for my private relationship with Su Zhiqing, I need to clarify one point, Su Zhiqing and I met at the birthday party of the eldest lady of the Ke family not long ago, but she didn't know my identity at the time until she saw me today. Also, you seem to have forgotten to say that you were eating together in private, there were also Miss Ke and Su Zhiqing's husband present at the time, do you need to find them to prove what we said? ”

He has always disdained to explain many things, but this time it involves Su Zhiqing, and the affection of a friend is there, and he can't watch her being wronged.

After a pause of two seconds, he added, "If it's really as you said, our personal relationship has affected this competition, why don't I let her just take first place?" ”

After he finished speaking, another senior in the industry also stood up, but her expression was much more serious: "Speaking of rankings, this young lady is afraid that she will be disappointed, we have the results first, and then Aaron just put forward his own opinion, Su Zhiqing's second place is well deserved, and it is also what several of our teachers unanimously believe, when you are a newcomer, it is understandable to want to be recognized by others, but correspondingly, you should not be impetuous and calm down and ponder your work." ”

Her words could be described as merciless, and the eyes of the previous person were faintly red.

And the next second, she suddenly turned around and ran out aggrieved.

Su Zhiqing retracted her gaze and sighed silently in her heart, she didn't expect such an episode.

"Thank you." She whispered to Xue Zichen.

Xue Zichen grinned and dropped out the great white shark: "You're welcome." ”

After this episode, the rest of the process continues.

Half an hour later, this year's JHA Jewelry Competition officially came to an end.

Su Zhiqing received a lot of congratulations, and she thanked them one by one.

"Congratulations." Xue Siqing passed by, stopped and said lightly, "Speaking of which, I like your design very much this time." ”

Su Zhiqing was a little surprised, this Xue Siqing seemed to be the first time she had seen her.

"Thank you, I love your design too." She was telling the truth, Xue Siqing has always focused on the high-end route, and it can be said that the elegant beauty she designed is the best one among their newcomers.

Xue Siqing smiled faintly: "Thank you." ”

I don't know if it's Su Zhiqing's illusion, she feels that the relationship between the two of them seems to have changed a lot through this competition, of course, in a better direction.

"Zhiqing!" He Jiayue jumped up, hugged her shoulders and smiled happily, "I know that our family Zhiqing is fine, congratulations!" When you become a famous designer in the future, remember to give me priority design. ”

"You're poor!" Su Zhiqing couldn't do anything about her, and the two walked out of the door fighting.

"Zhiqing!"

"Qin Lin!" Su Zhiqing raised her head in surprise, and then rushed over, "You're back?" Why don't you say something to me? ”

Some time ago, Qin Lin was invited to the magic capital, and he walked quietly, and now he is too.

Su Zhiqing couldn't help glaring at him: "Do you still know to come back?" ”

Qin Lin smiled and raised his eyebrows, and habitually touched her head: "Hey, can I not come back at the important moment of our sister Zhiqing?" How about a celebration for you in the evening? Xuanxuan also returned to China today. ”

"Really?!" Su Zhiqing was very happy, turned around and said to He Jiayue, "Jiayue, let's eat together in the evening." ”

He Jiayue put away the phone and arrogantly refused: "Nonono, no, my boyfriend is back today, we have already agreed on the world of the two!" ”

Su Zhiqing was not reluctant.

Qin Lin first sent her home and put the trophy away, and Jiang Dye on the Gu family's side had already prepared the meal, and several people had a meal together.

Soon, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Zhiqing couldn't tell how many times she looked at her phone, and there was still no Gu Chen's phone, was he very busy?

After thinking about it, she sent him a text message and told him about the award and the celebration for her that night.

"Waiting for Achen?" Qin Lin walked over with a smile, full of teasing.

Su Zhiqing glanced at him: "Knowingly asked." ”

Qin Lin laughed: "Let's go, let's go in first, Xuanxuan and they should arrive." ”

Su Zhiqing looked at the road again, there was no familiar vehicle, and she turned around slightly disappointed.

Qin Lin asked for a big box, and when they entered, Su Yan and they had already arrived.

"Ahh Qingqing! Qin Xuan pounced directly on Su Zhiqing.

"Xuanxuan!"

The two hugged each other warmly.

A group of people haven't seen each other for a long time, and there are always endless things to say, except for Qin Lin, who is relatively quiet.

But no one noticed him.

Qin Xuan excitedly told everyone how good the handsome guys she had met and how many delicacies she had eaten recently, which made everyone laugh.

Qin Lin interjected, but in a very disgusted tone: "If you eat it again, you won't be afraid of getting fat?" What else do you know besides eating? ”

"Humph!" Qin Xuan turned her head arrogantly, "You don't know if I can't eat fat, if you don't have food in life, how lonely it should be." ”

"That's you."

"And!"

The two of you are saying one sentence to me, and they are about to quarrel again.

Su Zhiqing looked at Qin Lin's helpless appearance, and her stomach hurt from laughing.

Jiang Yihan ran over with a smile, hooked her shoulders and said proudly: "Xiao Zhiqing, in order to congratulate you on winning the award, I specially prepared a gift for you." Close your eyes! ”

"What?" Su Zhiqing closed her eyes as she asked.

She was answered by the silence of a room.

For no reason, she became nervous.
