On the day of the competition, Lin Qingqian woke up early and ate breakfast with Su Ying and Han Liubai before bringing her designs to the event location.

The other designers had brought makeup artists, assistants, and even models. There was a mighty group of people.

Only Lin Qingqian only brought two people with her. She did not even invite any models.

When they passed by the other designers, some designers looked over curiously and turned their heads to whisper to their assistants.

Lin Qingqian did not understand what they were saying, so she simply entered her lounge without even giving them a glance.

Han Liubai was a little worried. “You really don't need a model?”

Lin Qingqian nodded and said softly, “No need.”

Han Liubai's gaze landed on the box behind her. Until now, he still did not know what Lin Qingqian had designed.

From the design to the production, she had done it herself. She did not rely on others, nor did she let anyone see it.

No one knew what kind of work she had designed.

Lin Qingqian saw him staring at the box. “You want to take a look?”

Han Liubai shook his head. “No need. I'll go get the schedule from the staff.” Lin Qingqian thanked him and watched him leave.

“Sister Qingqian, I'll go out and buy coffee for you,” Su Ying said softly and subconsciously looked at the box from the corner of her eye.

Lin Qingqian nodded. After Su Ying walked out of the lounge, she unlocked the box with a password and hung the clothes on the ironing rack.

Just as Han Liubai took the schedule and was about to return to the lounge, he was suddenly stopped. He turned around and saw a golden-haired and fair- skinned woman walking over.

“Hi, Han. I didn't expect to see you here.” The woman was clearly surprised to see him, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

Han Liubai's expression was calm. “Hi, Lisa.”

Lisa's gaze landed on the schedule in his hand. “You participated in this competition? But I didn't see your name on the information.”

Han Liubai held the process sheet and placed it behind him calmly. “I was helping a friend. Why are you here?”

Lisa smiled. “You forgot that I'm the chief designer of S.T. This time, I was invited to be a special guest judge. Back then, I only met you because I was a judge.”

When Han Liubai participated in the competition back then, Lisa was also a

special guest judge. The competition at that time was very cruel. In the end, if not for Lisa voting for him, he would not have become the champion of that year.

Therefore, Lisa was his benefactor.

Han Liubai smiled faintly and didn't reply.

“It's rare to meet you. Shall we have dinner tonight?” Lisa took the initiative to invite him.

Han Liubai looked apologetic. “I might have something on tonight. How about next time?

Before Lisa could speak, he said, “I have something on. Excuse me.”

With that, she turned around and left.

Ming Xiao walked out from the corner of the corridor and said with a smile, “I didn't lie to you, right? You've done him a favor, but he doesn't know how to repay you.”

Lisa retracted her cold gaze from Han Liubai's figure and said coldly, “What's that woman's name?”

“Lin Qingqian,” Ming Xiao replied in a light and pleasant voice. “She's the popular contestant for the champion of this competition.”

“Lin Qingqian?” Lisa had heard of this name before, but she had always looked down on Chinese designers, except for Han Liubai. Unfortunately…

“Don't underestimate her.” Ming Xiao reminded her kindly. “Although she has some talent, if not for Han Liubai, do you think she would have entered the finals? How did I withdraw from the competition?”

With every word she said, Lisa's face darkened. 'What kind of place does she think this is? If she wants to hold up that trophy, she has to see if she has the ability.”

Ming Xiao caught the anger in her eyes and felt relieved. “You don't have to be too angry. I believe Han Liubai will see her true colors sooner or later.”

Lisa glanced at her and said in a cold voice, “I still have something to do. Give my regards to your aunt.”

Ming Xiao nodded. “I will.”

Looking at Lisa's back view as she left, Ming Xiao turned to look in the direction of Lin Qingqian's lounge, her red lips curling into a cold and charming smile.

She Jiang Yanshen wanted for herself, but that did not mean that she would let Lin Qingqian off and let her stand on this stage to enjoy the applause.

When Han Liubai returned to the lounge, Lin Qingqian had already ironed her clothes and covered them with a black curtain.

When she turned around and saw that Han Liubai's expression was not right, she asked with concern, “What's wrong?”

Han Liubai came back to his senses and shook his head. “Nothing. This is the process list.”

Lin Qingqian took the process sheet and glanced at it. It was roughly the same as before. She had gotten first place last time, so she was the last contestant to appear again this time.

She turned her head to look at the black curtain with a thoughtful expression.

“Is there a problem?” Han Liubai asked.

“I didn't invite any models to my work this time, so I can't go on stage normally. I need a lift platform,” Lin Qingqian explained. Han Liubai: “Then I'll go and talk to the person-in-charge.”

Lin Qingqian's lips curved. “Thank you.”

“You're welcome.” When Han Liubai turned around, he glanced at the coffee cup on the table from the corner of his eye. He stopped in his tracks and turned around. “Drink less coffee.”

His gaze landed on her flat stomach.

Lin Qingqian understood and nodded. “Alright, I'll only take two sips to refresh myself.”

Only then did Han Liubai leave in relief.

Lin Qingqian lowered her head and looked at her empty stomach. The feeling of her palm pressing against it was very strange.

In a few months, she would give birth to a child that belonged to her and Ah

Yan…

It was unknown if it was a boy or a girl.

She hoped it was a girl. Ah Yan said he wanted a girl.

In the President's office in Lan City.

Jiang Yanshen was wearing a black shirt with the top unbuttoned, revealing his fair skin and exquisite collarbones. His legs were crossed on the desk, and he looked like a playboy.

Song Qin knocked on the door and entered. The first thing she thought when she saw this scene was that she was hallucinating. She pushed the door closed and entered again.

It was not an illusion!

Jiang Yanshen's dark eyes looked at her as if he was looking at a retard.

Song Qin coughed lightly. “Director Jiang, are you sure you want to do this?”

Jiang Yanshen threw the document in his hand onto the table and raised his eyebrows slightly. “You have a problem with that?”

“No.” Song Qin shook her head and thought to herself, “As long as you're happy.”

A trace of impatience flashed across Jiang Yanshen's brows. “What is it?”

Song Qin: “Madam's competition live-stream is about to begin. Do you need me to help you set it up?”

“Live-stream?” Jiang Yanshen did not take it to heart when he heard Fang Wu say that Lin Qingqian had gone overseas to participate in some competition. However, he was a little interested in the live-stream.

Seeing him nod, Song Qin walked forward and turned on his computer monitor, entering the live-stream's website.

“Director Jiang, you can take a look now.”

Jiang Yanshen landed on the screen. Lin Qingqian was not on the live-stream, and his black eyes were filled with impatience.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a shutter. He looked up and saw Song Qin taking a photo of him with her phone. His face immediately darkened. “What are you doing?”

Song Qin was stunned. “Taking a photo!”

“Delete it.” Two words spilled out of his thin lips. Then, a sinister voice sent her into the abyss. “You're fired.”

Song Qin held her breath, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.

“Get lost.” Jiang Yanshen spat out impatiently, his eyes filled with disgust. Song Qin walked out of the office still in a daze, completely unaware of what had happened.

She reached out to pinch her cheek and gasped in pain. “I can't be dreaming.”

When Lu Yuan saw her pinching herself, he teased, “I didn't expect you to have the tendency to torture yourself!”

For the first time, Song Qin didn't bicker with him. She grabbed his arm and said, “Lu Yuanyuan, tell me quickly that today isn't April Fool's Day, and I'm not dreaming.”

Curiosity surged in Lu Yuan's eyes. “What's wrong?

Song Qin turned around and looked at the office. Her voice was as wooden as her expression. “Director Jiang just said that I was fired.”

The smile on Lu Yuan's lips froze, and the teasing look in his eyes immediately dissipated. He glanced at the tightly shut office door and did not say anything.

“Is it because I took a photo of him?” Song Qin racked her brains to think of what she had done wrong. “But didn't he ask me to do this? He asked me to take a photo of him and post it on my Moments to show Madam. Why is he suddenly so angry today?”

“Secretary Song!” Lu Yuan suddenly called out to her.

“Eh?”

Lu Yuan reached out and took off the work pass on her neck.

Song Qin looked confused. “What are you doing?”

“Since Director Jiang said that you've been fired, please pack your things now. I'll inform the finance department to settle your salary.” Lu Yuan held her work pass and said coldly.

Song Qin's eyes widened in surprise as she said angrily, “Lu Yuanyuan, are you

adding Insult to Injury now”'

As soon as Director Jiang said that he would fire her, Lu Yuanyuan immediately chased her away. Was this bastard so eager to fight with her for favor!

Lu Yuan didn't smile at her like he usually did. He said coldly, “If you still haven't left in an hour, I'll get the security officers to escort you away.” With that, he walked towards his office.

Song Qin stomped her feet in anger. “Lu Yuanyuan, you bastard who kicks people when they're down. You turtle rotten egg…”

Lu Yuan acted as if he did not hear her curses. He walked into the office and slammed the door. He took a few deep breaths, as if he was calming down.

He looked down at the work pass in his hand, his eyes complicated and conflicted…

At the event location, the two sides of the runway were filled with spectators, and the judges were sitting opposite.

The models walked onto the runway elegantly in designer-designed clothes and high heels, showing their best side to the audience and judges.

However, there were only nine models. Just as the judges and audience were wondering if there was still one missing…

Countless golden-colored confetti suddenly scattered out from the top of the runway. Everyone looked up at the same time…

A faint purple halo appeared above the center of the runway. Because it was backlit, they could not see who it was. The figure slowly descended with the music…

When she was only a meter away from the runway, someone finally saw it clearly and couldn't help but gasp.. “It's Lin Qingqian…”
