Once these words were said, everyone became quiet again.

The person who proposed to put the work on the shelf and the first person to do so was indeed Stella.

If this was also within the organizers’ rating range, then it was reasonable for her to get a high score for

her reaction and resilience.

But at this time, someone suddenly said softly, “What if she knew in advance that she should do that,

who knows.”

The staff continued saying, “Since you guys have decided to participate in this competition, you should

believe that we, the organizers value this competition very much. The competition is fair and impartial

throughout and there will be no faking. If there are still people questioning the nature of the competition,

in order to avoid results that you guys find unacceptable in the subsequent competitions, you guys

have the right to choose to withdraw from the competition now.”

Once these words were uttered, the entire hall became completely quiet. No one spoke anymore.

The staff continued, “That’s it for today. Please go back to prepare your works for the rematch. The

deadline is ten days later. When the time is up, please bring your works here again, I’ll be waiting for

you here. Lastly, I sincerely wish all designers a good result.”

As the staff left, in the hall with dead silence, someone finally began to speak and mutter in a small

voice.

“I think they’re really playing us for a fool. They don’t say what rules are there in advance and actually

let us guess, who the hell can guess it.”

“Yeah, those who know will think that we are here to participate in the designer competition but those

who don’t know may think it’s a brain teaser. I feel that the organizers don’t give a damn about us as

they arrange it in such ways. They’re apparently thinking that we’re begging them.”

“Come on, when that person said just now, how come you guys didn’t say a word. Now, you guys keep

complaining. Instead of doing this, you should think about the competition.”

The group of people left the stage in the midst of complaining. Just after Stella left the scene, a woman

ran up to her, “Hello Ms. Radomil, I’m Charlotte Boyce.”

Stella had heard of her name before. She was also a designer who became famous in the past two

years who was only one year elder than her.

“Hello.”

Charlotte did not beat around the bush and directly stated her intention, “May I have a word with you,

I…I’ve drawn your work.”

Stella nodded, “Sure.”

Charlotte did not expect that she was so nice. She even froze for a few seconds before saying and

smiling, “Let me buy you a cup of coffee then, there is a café not far ahead.”

Stella glanced at the watch. Thinking that she had nothing to do anyway, she agreed, “Alright.”

While sitting in the café and after ordering coffee, Charlotte said, “In fact, I quite like your work. I even

bought your Puppy Love’ Series previously. It was just that I never had the opportunity to meet you.

When I saw you in the opening ceremony before, I also dared not go and say hello to you.”

Hearing this, Stella was a bit surprised, “Why?”

Charlotte said awkwardly, “Aren’t you the ex-wife of the president of the Conrad Group. I just feel that it

is hard to get along with people like you guys who are standing at the top of the status pyramid…but I

don’t think so now. Regarding the matter last time, you absolutely could have put the work on the shelf

and gone away directly but you reminded us of it. Thus, I feel that you’re seemingly not that hard to get

along with like what I’ve imagined.”

Stella smiled. Standing at the top of the status pyramid was not easy though. Even what Clarence had

experienced and endured was also not easy for others to imagine.

She said, “I’m just giving it a try.”

“Alas, in fact, it’s good to be like you. You should know that our careers are easy to be restrained by

rules and topics so this time, the organizers set many rules, thinking to have innovations.” Charlotte

sighed and said, “Just like the work, over time, each designer will have their own style and become

increasingly mature. But this time, participants are asked to draw the styles that others are good at. If

they still don’t understand the real intention of the organizers, it’s estimated that they’ll certainly be

defeated in the rematch.”

There were two reasons why the organizers arranged in this way. The first purpose was just like what

Charlotte said, which was to have innovations. Whereas, another purpose was to let designers break

free from the inherent shackles and try boldly.

Stella said, “It’s really quite difficult to suddenly change the style but as long as one finds the right

direction, one should still be able to gradually figure it out.”

Charlotte nodded as she sipped her coffee, “You’re right. By the way, you switched topics with Modesty,

right? This means that your topic is Modesty’s style?”

“Yes.”

Charlotte said, “It seems like enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road, you don’t know it yet, right?

Modesty slandered you a lot in the peer party before, saying that the reason why she left SG was that

the boss of SG was interested in you. He gave all the good opportunities to you which resulted in her

having no opportunity for career development and that was why she left.”

“Although she didn’t say these explicitly, there was a hidden meaning in her words that you and the

people with high power in SG had an improper relationship. However, the funniest thing was that

shortly after she said this, someone said on the Internet that you’re Mr. Conrad’s ex-wife. I didn’t see

her expression but I guess it should be wonderful.”

When Stella heard this, she did not feel strange. When Modesty was still in SG, she always deliberately

said bad things about her. After she left SG, there were many discussions from the people outside so

she naturally had to find excuses to excuse herself.

After chatting with Stella for a while, Charlotte found that Stella did not hide anything about her design

and would say what she wanted to say. She was indeed much better than those so-called seniors who

were as proud as a peacock.

Seeing that the time was late, Charlotte got up and said, “I’m sorry to have delayed you for so long.

After the competition, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“It’s okay, it’s what I should do.”

The two of them went out of the café one after another.

In a black car not far away, Modesty’s eyes narrowed when she saw this scene. She handed the album

in her hand to the man beside her, “These are all my previous works and drafts. You can just imitate

this and then add your usual design style into it.”

Arthur Barnett took it and said with utter confidence, “Leave it to me, don’t worry, there will be no

mistakes.”

Modesty said, “Half of the money promised to you has already been transferred to your account. When

the thing is completed, I’ll transfer all the rest to you at once.”

“No rush, no rush. Then let’s wish us good cooperation in advance.” As Arthur said, his hand caressed

Modesty’s thigh. She frowned and pulled his hand away, “Show some respect!”

Arthur laughed twice, “I thought we were the same kind of people since we’re doing this kind of thing.

Fine, fine, I’ll show respect.”

Finished speaking, Arthur tidied up his tie and got out of the car with the album that Modesty gave

him.
