23. Chapter 23
Xia Mu didn't know if he should be happy that William respected her abilities so much, and it was such a difficult assessment when he took action.
But she naturally couldn't give up this opportunity, and she had to fight for it no matter how difficult it was.
After William left, Lin Qi still watched the art exhibition with her.
"Thank you." Xia Mu looked at her and thanked her.
Lin Qi's voice is still gentle and nice, "You don't have to be polite. I am now a designer of mz and always think about mz's development. As long as you are a talented designer, I don't want him or mz to miss it. You get this opportunity all depends on yourself. I just recommend it for you. This time, all the main designers of mz will participate, so the pressure of competition is very great. If you are mentally prepared, I will also be in it. We will compete fairly."
Although Lin Qi said this, without her recommendation, she didn't even have the opportunity to participate. "I want to thank you no matter what. This is a rare opportunity for me."
Lin Qi looked at her for a long time and smiled slightly, "Xia Mu, you have never changed. Actually, I admire you very much. You didn't ask Song Fuxing to help you. After all, this will be much easier for you, and you don't need to take such a lot of pressure to participate in this competition."
Xia Mu naturally knew that she had misunderstood. She lowered her eyes slightly and said seriously: "He and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend."
Lin Qi knew it in her heart. She smiled softly, looked at the paintings hanging on the wall, and said her past thoughts openly, "Ancient paintings are precious, except for their superb painting skills, one is because of the passing of time and the other is because of the departure of people. All the paintings have become the only ones. You are very lucky to be with the person you like in high school, but I completely missed it because of my former arrogance."
Xia Mu paused and looked at Lin Qi.
She had regrets and nostalgia on her face, but no matter how long time passed, she could not let her go.
She suddenly remembered what Wang Yilong said.
After so many years, he still hasn't forgotten that person.
Who is that person?
When I was young, I could meet a few people who were as dazzling as diamonds. Song Fuxing was like this, and Lin Qi was also like this...
Since you have encountered it, how can you not see it?
"you……"
Xia Mu only exhaled two breaths, but he couldn't ask anymore. He remembered Song Fuxing's avoidance of Lin Qi yesterday, and remembered that he came to attend the class reunion that he never participated.
Thinking of the possibility that they liked each other in high school, she didn't dare to ask again, because it only made her seem so... ridiculous.
She couldn't tell the complexity in her heart. When she saw the art exhibition for the first time, she saw a lot of thoughts.
After the two said goodbye, Lin Qi returned home, and the aunt at home had prepared the meal for her.
But she had no appetite, so she put down her bag and went upstairs.
The floor-to-ceiling windows were open, and the fresh wind blew in. There were many books on the bookshelf, some of which were left to commemorate when they were in high school.
She took out one of the books and opened it, which contained a ranking of results.
The first place is Song Fuxing, and the second place is her.
She looked at their names for a long time and was slightly lost.
When she saw him yesterday, she knew that without a deep family background, she would not be able to get such a car or such an expensive watch. His surname is Song, and he is so low-key.
The Song family has always been very low-key. There are many rules in the real wealthy family and never show off. It happened that they met Ling Wanrong again at the dinner party, and everything matched.
It also explains exactly why she has never seen him at a banquet.
Maybe some things are precious just because they missed them. She really feels regret now. If she wasn't so confident and arrogant at that time, maybe she wouldn't have been like this now...
A weekend passed, and Xia Mu had already adjusted it. In fact, it was not her business, after all, she would not have any contact with him again in the future.
Her main thing now is to prepare MZ's alternatives.
She entered MZ as a "dazzling" designer, which caused a lot of sensation. After all, Muse is an international design competition. As a new designer, being able to win such an award is equivalent to a lifetime achievement, and it is definitely an award that can show its strength.
mz's company is all designers, and basically no one doesn't know how to be "dazzled". It is indeed a very beautiful meaning, because the person you like becomes excellent, beautiful and innocent.
After being dazzling, she disappeared, which inevitably aroused people's curiosity, so Xia Mu was unexpectedly popular and viewed the same as a little star.
"I really like your 'dazzling'. Are you interested in making it into a limited edition for sale?"
"I really didn't expect that the Muse winner would be with me as a colleague, which gave me a feeling of touching the Muse's tail. Tomorrow's design draft will be full of inspiration."
"Come on, you didn't sleep in the middle of the night yesterday and your head was almost bald. Today I guess you can't even touch the toes of Muse."
Colleagues gathered together to play and joke, and the atmosphere was particularly good. Although she had not signed a contract with MZ, she had already felt MZ's enthusiasm.
mz's promotion this time is very well-established and the gimmicks are also very strong. The jewelry industry is watching. It can be said that who can make this main design, then the next new jewelry designer has already decided, and the opportunity is unprecedented.
The designers who participated in the plan had their own names and everyone knew it, so the most surprising thing was her, the winner of the previous Muse.
As an international competition, Muse is all-encompassing and will only be held once every five years. The participating designers are available all over the world. It is definitely not easy to stand out from so many people and get the first place.
Xia Mu was only seventeen years old when he did it, and he was as old as a child, and his talent for design was undoubtedly.
Even Daini, one of the Muse's selected persons, praised "Daoyang". She often speaks "Daoyang" today, and she speaks straightforwardly with her honest personality.
She always felt that 'Bright' and the Muse complemented each other.
If it weren't for the 'dazzling' that really shone brightly like diamonds and appeared in everyone's sight, then the Muse, an ancient and traditional international competition, might not have stood out in the dazzling place made of so many jewelry and attracted everyone's attention.
Only the two that are truly excellent can create a more dazzling light.
Therefore, Xia Mu's joining was undoubtedly a big deal, and mz's special invitation was once again paid attention to everyone because of her "dazzling".
