C118 A Worthy Opponent

Seeing that the teacher was very interested in my work, I explained in earnest, "Thank you for your question, but my pendant is made of the cheaper amber material. In order to ensure that most people in the city have the ability to buy this product, after all, it comes from the lives of the people in the city."

Most of the contestants in front of us, including Gao Xin Lei, had beautiful designs, but the materials they chose were mostly precious gems, pearls, and emeralds, which limited a large part of the consumer population. My inspiration for the design came from the recent trend of the Euclidean jewellery fair price that was being promoted by Mason.

In the judges' segment, almost all the points that were given by Zhao Yuhao were equal to that of Gao Xinlei's. Actually, I felt a little bit guilty about Zhao Yuhao giving me 9 points, because there was still a certain distance between Gao Xinlei and me when it came to designing.

After all of the judges finished scoring, unexpectedly, Gao Xinlei and I shared the same score and were tied at the top. This was a surprising but reasonable result for everyone, so the outcome of the match would depend on the outcome of the audience voting.

The audience can vote for an hour, and the contestants can introduce and promote their works in any way. I made use of my professional skills to attract the attention of quite a few people. At the same time, as a school beauty of the Arts Academy and a top student at the same time, Gao Xinlei's charisma was nothing to worry about.

Wearing sunglasses the whole time, Ou Jia Rui and even Pai Maeshan also took out two tickets to write my name. Although he was sitting in the audience, he also attracted some people's attention. Maybe they were all talking about my mysterious boyfriend.

An hour passed by quickly. Almost everyone had already made their decision. The organization committee was currently in the midst of assembling them. Gao Xinlei and I also had a serious expression on our faces.

If Gao Xinlei was a woman who got the customers' liking through her elegance, then the route I took should have been to evaluate the novelty of the place. Many people had come to ask about my unique collarbone chain within an hour, and some even said that they could help create one.

"No problem. I have my own studio. When the competition ends, I'll help my junior publish it." To avoid unnecessary trouble, she did not say that she belonged to the Ou family.

"Are you Sister Mason?" Many of the students in the Arts Academy had forgotten about the competition as they all ran over to talk to her, trying to communicate with this legendary senior. Before, Mason had only been studying as a substitute student in the arts design field, so there weren't many students in the Arts Academy who had seen her before.

She made an excuse to go to the bathroom and decided to stay out of the limelight for the time being. I was finally able to see her influence in art designers at B University, which was not much less than Zhao Yuhao's in her field of expertise.

In the distance, I saw a rather familiar figure walk up to my booth. "Zhou Xinyao, are you participating?"

I've helped Auntie Qin's son, Teacher Qin Ling. I never thought that a science teacher like him would be interested in this kind of artistic competition.

"Hello, Teacher Qin. Yes, I'm participating right now." I greeted him politely.

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries with Qin Guan, he told me that he was only passing by and came over to say hello to me. Not long after, he returned to the laboratory.

From a distance, O'Jia Rui motioned me to take a look at my cell phone.

"Who is this person?"

"Teacher Qin, I saved an aunt who fell down at the school entrance. She happened to be his mother." I explained that I was afraid that Ojaru's jealousy would be overturned again.

Every time it was like this, it would put an invisible pressure on me. This situation didn't slowly improve until we were truly in love with each other.

While the host was announcing the results of the match, my hand was covered in sweat. "The one who won this season's season is an undergraduate in art design department, Student Li Ye."

"The ones who got the second place are …" The host was a bit suspicious here, because anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Gao Xinlei and I were evenly matched in terms of both the judges' scores and the spectators' votes. The champion and the runner-up should be right between us.

Gao Xinlei and I, as well as the loyal fans around her, had their expectations written on our faces.

"The person who won second place is a talented female senior who has great looks and great talent." After the host said those words, everyone could guess the result. To be able to receive such a title, the only thing that could be seen was the High Core.

"Let us congratulate the runner-up Gao Xin Lei, champion Zhou Xinyao, and thank you for bringing us such a high level work. At the same time, let's thank all the contestants for bringing us a contest between experts …"

Even up to the time when I went up on stage to receive the award, I was still in a trance. When it was time for me to make my so-called acceptance speech, it was as though I had stepped on cotton and was still floating lightly under my feet, "Thank you everyone, this result gave me a big surprise. I thank the judges and the audience for their support, and at the same time, all the contestants, they are worthy of our respect."

After I finished speaking, I deeply bowed, and received the applause of the entire arena. Whether it was my own strength or Zhao Yuhao's calm attitude towards Gao Xin Lei and me, it should be enough to prove that the relationship between us wasn't as unbearable as the rumors had made it out to be, I thought in my heart.

After the competition ended, O'Jia Rui brought me and Mason to celebrate together. After that, O'Jia Rui went back to the company.

"Boss, I've already taken a day off from work. You can go back first, I'll come back tonight. I want to stay a bit longer with our Yao Yao." Mason wouldn't let go of my arm, and she was just as excited about my victory.

With a smile, Ou Jia Rui said, "I'll give you another half day of leave. The two of you should celebrate tonight and allow you to work at the company tomorrow."

Mason and I clapped happily.

"However." Ou Jia Rui suddenly revealed a dangerous expression as she looked at Mason. "However, if you still dare to bring Yao Yao to a nightclub to drink, be careful of your monthly salary, bonus, and sales bonus."

"Got it boss, I promise I will take good care of the Lady Boss and take her to be a good young man who only goes in and out of positive situations." Mason patted her chest to make sure.

After sending off Ocari, Maysan and I walked slowly back to school, ready to go home and get our coats and go out to see the superhero movie Maysan had been waiting for so long.

Returning home, I habitually checked my computer and found that there was an email from Gao Xin Lei. It was still the same simple and concise email, which was a little different from the Gao Xin Lei that I had seen before.

"It would be inconvenient for you and Sister Mason to have a cup of coffee together tonight. I'll treat you guys. At 7 o'clock tonight, I'll be waiting for you at the coffee shop on the corner." Gao Xinlei was talking about the place that Ou Jia Rui and I often went to, and it was very popular with B University students.

I was a little confused about Gao Xin Lei's intentions, so I asked her, "Which act are we going to play out here?"

"Go, go. Why don't you go? I also want to see if this junior has anything else she wants to tell us." She took out two scarves of different colors and tied them around my and her neck, "Only after the boss left did I dare to use the couple's money with you. If the old man saw this, he would have to deduct my bonus again."

At seven o'clock, Mason and I arrived at the coffee shop on the corner on time and found that Takeuchi had arrived early.

The two of us sat down and ordered two cups of hot milk. Mason got straight to the point. "Long time no see, little martial sister."

Gao Xinlei felt a little awkward: "Long time no see, Senior Sister's temperament is getting better and better."

"You, why are you looking for us?" I tried to keep my tone as calm as possible, fearing this would be a Hongmen feast.

There weren't many people in the cafe, and a few of them would come in here to spend their time reading. They all looked in our direction, and for a moment I didn't know what to do.

Senior Zhao Yuhao had already explained it to me personally just now. The relationship between the two of you is purely that of a friend, but because of my own stubbornness and bias, I've always been biased against you. I even did some harmful things to you in school. Gao Xinlei's apology was very sincere.

I couldn't forgive her for what she had done to me, but I had always believed in being merciful. I didn't forgive her, but I accepted her apology.

"Alright, I understand." I said flatly.

"Through today's competition, I have seen your talent and strength. Just like you said, you are also my most worthy opponent. "Also, I have to apologize to Sister Mason. Sorry for the trouble caused by the comments on Weibo last time." Gao Xin Lei said to Mason.

It's okay, anyway, my fairy got her favorite job by chance because of you. But luckily, the students of the B University usually don't pay much attention to gossip news, and I don't know that Ou Jia Rui's wife is called Zhou Xinyao. Otherwise, the trouble from last time would be even greater.

Compared to my coldness, Mason was more like a senior who had experienced a lot of things. She had lightly led Gao Xin Lei to do something wrong, and at the same time gave her some advice.

I hope that when I have the chance in the future to interact with you, I will do my best to uphold your honor. My father has told me since childhood that one can be bold and unbridled, but one must have the courage to be in charge of what he or she does. I am truly sorry for disturbing you.

Gao Xinlei got up and left. It could be seen that even though she was a bit stubborn and willful at times, she still had good upbringing from her words and actions, as well as the fact that she apologized.
