After a flash marriage, the abstinent president dotes on his wife

Soon it was the day for Qi Anran to participate in the jewelry competition qualifying round.

Shortly after Qi Anran submitted the design draft, Xing Nian received the news that she had successfully passed the preliminaries and would soon participate in the qualifying round.

Early in the morning, after Xing Nian finished his breakfast, he simply packed up and went out.

The venue for the qualifying competition was set in a luxurious hotel, and when she arrived, some contestants and spectators had already arrived.

Xing Nian looked around, searching for Qi Anran in the crowd.

In the distance, Qi Anran noticed Xing Nian, and a smile of surprise immediately appeared on her face, and she trotted towards Xing Nian. She enthusiastically took Xing Nian's arm, as if she had found someone to rely on.

"Sister Xing Nian, you're here so early?" Qi Anran's voice was full of joy, as if it could dispel the chill of the early morning.

Xing Nian looked at Qi Anran with a smile and found that although she was nervous, her face was more full of anticipation and excitement.

She said gently, "Of course I have to come earlier for your competition. But seeing how relaxed you look, it seems that you are confident that you will definitely make it through this qualifying round."

After hearing this, Qi Anran lowered her head in embarrassment, her cheeks slightly reddened. "My level is still far behind." She said modestly, "Many of the contestants this time have won awards in various jewelry competitions, and their works have even been sold in jewelry stores. I am just a novice, and I am already very satisfied to be able to enter the qualifying round."

After hearing this, Xing Nian gently patted Qi Anran on the shoulder and gave her firm encouragement: "Anran, don't think like that. Although you are young, your design is novel and unique, and your thinking is active. This qualifying competition is a live test with limited time. What matters more is your design concept and innovation ability. So, you have to believe in yourself, you can do it."

Xing Nian's words were like a warm current that warmed Qi Anran's heart. Tears flashed in her eyes, which were a light of emotion and confidence in herself.

At this moment, a discordant voice was heard nearby.

"Do you think those great players who have won many jewelry competition awards are just for show? With your ability, you still want to beat them? It's just a daydream." The voice was sharp and harsh, full of contempt and provocation.

At some point, a tall girl walked up to them, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at the two of them with a haughty attitude.

Her eyes revealed her disdain for Qi Anran, as if Qi Anran was just an insignificant opponent in her eyes.

Qi Anran was straightforward and immediately responded, "Who are you? What do you care about what we say? Who are you showing this to?"

The girl smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips: "Qi Anran, I haven't seen you for a while, and you don't even remember me. With your memory like this, how can you participate in the jewelry competition?"

Qi Anran then looked at the girl carefully, and after a moment she suddenly realized: "Oh, it's you, Liang Yichen. How come the crisis of your Liang Group has been resolved, and you have time to come out and participate in the jewelry competition?"

Hearing this, Liang Yichen's face instantly turned ugly.

Some time ago, the Liang Group did encounter a serious financial crisis.

During that time, Liang Yicheng's father was busy dealing with various crises and debts every day, and the whole family was shrouded in a haze. Her pocket money was also greatly reduced, and she could not even afford some of her favorite luxury goods.

As the eldest daughter of the Liang family, she had everything she wanted before. But now she can't even spend as much as before when buying clothes or going shopping.

Every time her girlfriends invited her out for afternoon tea or shopping, she was too embarrassed to go because she was short of money. This gap made her feel very uncomfortable.

In order to ease the financial pressure, Liang Yichen heard about the generous prize money of this jewelry competition and decided to participate.

Liang Yichen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said to Qi Anran coldly: "Qi Anran, don't be complacent. The judges of this competition are all internationally renowned experts, and they will not be fooled by any sweet talk. The championship throne must be won by strength and talent, and it is not something you can get by just spending some money."

Liang Yichen did not lower her voice on purpose, and the people around her began to whisper and talk among themselves.

"I've heard that some aristocratic families would secretly spend money to get connections so that their children can have dazzling honors and win the championship. It turns out to be true."

"Yes, these rich people really do everything they can. Ordinary people like us, with no background or connections, are destined to be cannon fodder for these rich people."

Hearing the people around him belittling and speculating about Qi Anran, Liang Yichen felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.

She seemed to feel that her goal had been achieved. She successfully pushed Qi Anran to the forefront and made her the focus of everyone's discussion.

Qi Anran angrily wanted to refute these groundless accusations. Her face flushed and her eyes widened as she tried to explain herself, but her hand was held tightly by Xing Nian.

Xing Nian gave her a comforting look, signaling her not to be impulsive.

Xing Nian looked at Liang Yichen calmly and said firmly, "Ms. Liang, we heard what you said. But whether An Ran paid for the championship or not, wouldn't you know after watching her work? I believe the public has sharp eyes."

After saying that, Xing Nian pulled Qi Anran away from the crowd, leaving Liang Yichen standing there, his face turning pale and blue.

She looked at the two men's backs as they left, her heart filled with hatred.

At this moment, in a corner not far away, a woman witnessed everything that had just happened. A sharp light flashed in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
