After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

Iris's blunt words were what no one else dared to say to Huo Jingcheng.

Assistant Chen, who was standing behind him, had a drop of cold sweat sliding down his forehead. He carefully watched Huo Jingcheng's face, fearing that the two would start fighting over a disagreement.

"There are some things that only the dead will not tell the secrets."

The cold voice made people shudder.

Assistant Chen swallowed his saliva and felt goose bumps all over his body at this moment. He wondered whether he should say something to ease the atmosphere between the two bosses.

Smith was not affected at all. He held the teacup and filled it halfway. He took a sip and smiled slightly, "Interesting. It seems that there are still many opportunities for development?"

Smith looked Huo Jingcheng up and down, as if he wanted to find a hole in him.

"Okay, we have been in cooperation for many years, so I am willing to trust you for once." Smith made the decision, "You and your people can follow me upstairs. Let's talk about cooperation."

In just a few words, the tense atmosphere disappeared completely.

"Okay." Huo Jingcheng agreed.

Assistant Chen didn't show it on his face, but he felt relieved in his heart.

The three of them went up to the study on the second floor, and Huo Jingcheng raised his hand to stop Assistant Chen from pushing him in.

"You wait outside. I want to talk to Mr. Smith alone." Huo Jingcheng said.

Assistant Chen nodded and agreed, "Yes."

Huo Jingcheng and Smith entered the study alone. Assistant Chen was standing straight at the door.

……

In the competition hall, almost all the candidates have picked up their pens and started painting.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, the game time was half over.

The judges sitting on the stage looked at the contestants sitting below, and many of them set their sights on Zhu Jin.

Everyone wants to see what this so-called genius girl looks like.

"An Ran, was she the one you recommended to us last time?" a judge asked curiously.

Yang Anran nodded calmly, "Yes. I've seen her designs before and I like them very much. I thought that she would need a long time to come up with the corresponding inspiration every time she designs, but I didn't expect that she could perform so well in such a short competition."

"Her design is very inspiring. It is what every designer should do to fit the theme. She was able to add highlights to the theme, which made people's eyes light up and unforgettable." A middle-aged female judge sitting next to her was generous in her praise, "I like her design very much. Similarly, I also want to see how her design will turn out this time."

Yang Anran raised her eyebrows, "You are right."

Two people took the lead in praising the work, and the other judges also gave a word or two of praise.

Zhu Jin, who was praised by everyone, had no idea that his reputation was brought so high by the two judges.

She was stuck in a design bottleneck and couldn't extricate herself.

Others have probably already finished the rough draft, and quite a few are even in the process of coloring and refining it.

Zhu Jin has not yet completed the draft of the design.

Only Yinyue could see the outline of the design on the drawing.

It was a picture of a puppy with its head held high, but there was nothing special about it.

puppy……

Special puppy...

A special puppy that can represent the little girl.

Double tail?

Zhu Jin looked through the girl's previous photos thoughtfully. She seemed to like the twin ponytail hairstyle very much. So why not design a puppy with drooping ears?

It has drooping ears and a gentle personality.

When these two words floated through Zhu Jin's mind, she immediately thought of a dog breed - Labrador.

Zhu Jin redesigned the shape of the Labrador next to her, and slid her fingertips across the tablet screen, flipping through the photos, trying to find some characteristics of the little girl that would allow her parents to recognize her characteristics at a glance.

Suddenly, Zhu Jin's hand stopped, she moved back and looked at the corner of the previous photo.

Then he slid back to the current photo, looked at the pot of flowers on the table, and fell into deep thought.

Purple irises.

Zhu Jin swiped down again and noticed something he hadn't noticed before.

Traces of irises can be seen in almost every photo.

Sometimes it appears as a hair tie in the little girl's hair, sometimes it appears on the table at home, and sometimes it appears in the photo on the wall behind the little girl.

It can be seen that this family and the little girl love irises.

You can design a purple iris on the puppy's ear or on a dog tag.

With this in mind, Zhu Jin picked up his pen and wrote a few strokes on the dog tag, and a vivid iris flower appeared on the paper.

Zhu Jin tried three or four designs, from on the ear, to on the dog tag, to an iris flower underneath the kitten catching a butterfly, to an iris flower mark on the kitten's body. The styles of the four designs are very different, but the content of each is unique.

"The exam time is already halfway through," the host reminded, "if there are still contestants who haven't finished their drafts, they need to speed up their designs."

Zhu Jin's attention was entirely focused on the design in front of him and he didn't notice what the host said at all.

She wants to design all four necklaces and give them to the little girl's family.

However, Zhu Jin was very clear.

I can only design one today and submit it to the competition team.

Zhu Jin chose from four designs and finally picked the puppy with an iris on its ear. As for the other three designs, he would send them over after the Mallow Award competition was over.

After making the decision, Zhu Jin sped up the detailing and coloring.

She had already decided on the material of the jewelry, and she didn't plan to spend too much time on the necklace chain.

A simple silver chain with a pendant will not overshadow the outfit.

The focus should be on the pendant, which is what she ultimately designed it for.

"Ding--"

The bell for the end of the game rang after Zhu Jin completed the last stroke of color.

"Okay, everyone, put down your pens. The staff will collect your design drafts one by one. I also wish you all the best in your design this time, and hope to see you in the semi-finals."

After the staff collected all the design drafts, Zhu Jin and other talents left one after another.

When Huo Anan passed by Zhu Jin, she just glanced at her coldly and turned away.

Does this mean you completely hate yourself?

Zhu Jin shook his head, not taking the other party's reaction to heart, but thinking about what happened before.

After getting in the car, Zhu Jin was still preoccupied with her worries, so much so that she didn't even notice that Huo Jingcheng had changed into a suit.

"What are you thinking about?" Huo Jingcheng asked.

"I want to help that little girl," Zhu Jin replied, then hesitated and said, "But I'm not sure if I should wait until the game is over before contacting her."
