Forced Marriage: The billionaire CEO calls

The banquet is over, on the way back.Qiao Ai was sitting in the car, still thinking about what Mrs. Ye and Ye Feifei said just now, her brows were knit together, she couldn't understand it.Zhou Chengyan held her little hand in his big one, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "Ai Ai, what's wrong? Do you have something on your mind?"

Qiao Ai looked up at Zhou Chengyan, hesitated for two or three seconds, and told him everything about meeting Mrs. Ye and Ye Feifei just now. "To be honest, just now I felt so close to the truth, yet so far away. My heart is in a mess now, and I don't know how to express it. My brain seems to be in a state of chaos."

It was obvious that this matter was bothering her.In fact, it was Zhou Chengyan who had received information about the relationship between Mrs. Ye and Miss Gu's relationship that made Qiao Ai go to the banquet with him. The purpose was to see if there were any unexpected gains.Judging from what he had heard, he already had some confidence in his heart.

However, before anything was confirmed, he didn't want it to affect Qiao Ai's mood, so he tried to distract her, "I said it, don't think about these things now, just leave it to me. Believe me, sooner or later One day, I will find out the mystery of your mother's life experience. I took you out today to relax, the garden of the Ye family is really nice, I wonder if you have harvested anything?"

Qiao Ai naturally didn't want to let go of Zhou Chengyan's painstaking efforts, nodded, then tried hard to recall the sporadic things in the garden of Ye's villa, and then shook her head again. "That's because I'm tired today. After I get home, I'll have a good sleep and see if I find anything new when I get up tomorrow." Zhou Chengyan patted Qiao Ai's little hand lightly. Qiao Ai nodded, and then gently leaned her head to the side On Zhou Chengyan's solid shoulders.Probably today's news put too much pressure on Qiao Ai. After returning home, he took a shower, Zhou Chengyan comforted her again, and went to bed early.

In the following time, Qiao Ai has been concentrating on preparing for the second round of the design competition, so he quickly forgot about the banquet.At the beginning, Qiao Ai went through all the things she felt in her mind, but none of them satisfied her.Until one time, when she saw a blue and white porcelain vase at home, she suddenly thought of the dragonfly waving its wings on the lotus in the garden of the Ye family villa.

Inspiration exploded at that moment.Qiao Ai swiped the brush and splashed the ink, finishing it in one go.The lifelike dragonfly with cloisonné is a perfect example of the combination of classical and nature!Looking at her design drawing, Qiao Ai finally breathed a sigh of relief. A work must first impress herself before impressing others, isn't it?Even Zhou Chengyan, a layman, admired her design draft, "I think this work is more than enough to take part in an international competition." Useful.And it was precisely because of Zhou Chengyan's idea of ​​taking him to Ye's house for a banquet that he found the inspiration, so he gave him a lot of benefits.

On the day of the competition, Qiao Ai went directly to the competition site with the prepared design draft and handed it in, then went home and waited for the results in the afternoon.Although I am quite satisfied with this design work, I am still a little uneasy, so Qiao Ai still communicates with Lu Shenxing through mobile phones all the time when I get home.Qiao Ai: Choose five out of twenty, I'm still very nervous, Great God (the expression of blessing from the Bodhisattva) Lu Shenxing: The Great God will be compared to you, you are still nervous (expression of contempt) Qiao Ai: I know you are kind enough to comfort me (with a smile) Expression) Lu Shenxing: This year, to be honest, no one believes it anymore (helpless expression) Qiao Ai: Uneasy, Lu Shenxing: Believe in God, you will have eternal life... The two chatted until the afternoon when they went to the game site, and Lu Shenxing’s comfort came With this effect, Qiao Ai was not so nervous, and just silently waited for the announcement of the result.

Because there were only five winners in the end, this time it was not just an announcement of the list, but the works of the five winners were exhibited together with their personal information.The people who came to see the results rushed up to check it out. Few of them were smiling, but most of them were depressed.Lu Shenxing calmly walked to the front of the list with Qiao Ai, but unexpectedly found that Qiao Ai's name was not included in the list of winners.Qiao Ai had just been persuaded by Lu Shenxing to gain confidence, but now, she seemed to have fallen from the clouds again, and her mood was lost a lot, "Master, you actually got it wrong this time. It seems that there are still people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky."

Qiao Ai tried hard to hide her disappointment, and forced a smile on her face to make jokes that weren't funny with Lu Shenxing.Lu Shenxing looked at the five posted works with a serious face, stroked his chin lightly with one hand, and said word by word: "Such a serious design competition, there will be ulterior motives." He Although his voice was not high, there were not many people who came to see the results today, so every word he said was heard clearly in everyone's ears.

"What? Is there something ulterior?" Someone immediately echoed, his voice full of righteous indignation. "Yeah, let me tell you, this is an international competition. What's the inside story?" More and more people joined in.After listening to the inside story, of course all those who failed the ranking thought that they had been treated unfairly, so everyone was fighting against each other at this time, waiting for Lu Shenxing to talk about it. "What's the inside story? It's very simple. The selection results of this competition are unfair and unjust. What does this mean? It means that someone is operating in secret and wants to pretend to be fake." Lu Shenxing deliberately spoke louder so that people could hear them more clearly. arouse people's greater anger.

Sure enough, people were gearing up and filled with righteous indignation. "Operation in the dark? How dare they cheat on this?" Huh?" "We have to ask the organizer to give us an explanation for this matter—" "Yes, isn't this deceiving us and fooling our contestants?"... The more people talked, the more angry they became, and everyone pointed the finger at the organizer square.The one who stood up from the organizer was an assistant manager, his eyes were rolling around, and when he looked at Lu Shenxing, he had an expression of wanting to kill him.Seeing more and more people gathered in their office, all pointing at them to explain, the assistant manager slapped the table angrily, and shouted at Lu Shenxing: "Who are you? Talking nonsense over there! Open your mouth Let’s just say there are inside stories, how can there be so many inside stories? If you lose the election, you will be psychologically unbalanced, and you want to make trouble here, right?”
