Chapter 607: Turmoil (3)
Because of the host’s appearance, the meeting room regained its previous calm.Qiao Mo gently exhaled, unexpectedly seeing Louis here again. But when she thought about it, it made sense; he is the head of a world-renowned fashion brand, young and promising, with considerable wealth, and his fashionable image makes it unsurprising that he would be present.
After Qiao Mo took her seat, some other foreign contestants by her side explained in a low voice.
The foreign girl with a fiery figure was the daughter of the editor-in-chief of a prestigious fashion magazine. The fashion circle is this small, so people tend to respect powerful figures, and many resources are prioritized for Alina. Things that many strive for but can’t get are often at her fingertips.
So, no matter the country or industry, power and status are universal. Absolute fairness is hard to achieve.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Mo felt a bit more anxious. After all, she is pregnant now, and if anything happens to the child, she wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
The host briefly introduced the competition rules: over the course of half a month, each participant uses the same funds and resources to design clothing based on their own theme, and the final scores are given by judges and some VIP customers of various brands.
After listening to the rules, the group adopted a more traditional method of grouping.
The whole competition consisted of fifty people, five people per theme, making ten themes total.
The staff took out fifty cards, each participant draws one, and those with the same letter are in a group, while the host holds a theme corresponding to each letter, making every effort to ensure fairness.
The staff walked up to Qiao Mo with the cards spread out in hand.
Qiao Mo intended to casually draw one, but as soon as her fingertip landed on a card, a hand with black nail polish reached for the same card.
Qiao Mo furrowed her brow, the owner of the hand was Alina. At this moment, she turned her back to Louis, looking at Qiao Mo with a provocative gaze.
Qiao Mo sighed and directly picked another card.
But the same scene happened again, Alina’s hand once again landed on the same card as she intended to pick.
Qiao Mo developed some annoyance; she was really getting caught in the crossfire. She and Louis were completely innocent, and she couldn’t understand where this woman’s hostility was coming from!
There’s no denying, Qiao Mo was indeed quite wronged.
Alina has always liked Louis, but recently she went back to her country with her mother to visit Xu Wan.
It turned out Xu Wan spoke highly of Qiao Mo to Alina’s mother, even saying that if Qiao Mo wasn’t already engaged, she would definitely try to pair Qiao Mo with Louis.
Upon hearing this, Alina was naturally displeased; she ran to confront Louis, but he scolded her saying she always looked like a rebellious girl, lacking femininity, domineering and arrogant, and that no man would like her.
This hurt Alina’s pride, causing her to resent Qiao Mo.
Especially when she laid eyes on Qiao Mo today, wow, completely different type; radiant and charming. Just like the example Louis used to scold her, it was no wonder she got upset.
However, to be fair, Xu Wan had good intentions at the time. Considering Alina’s mother’s high status in the circle, she mentioned Qiao Mo, hoping she could look after her, yet unexpectedly angered Alina instead.
