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 organizersâ 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, âWhat if she knew in advance that she should do that, who knows.â
The staff continued saying, âSince 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.â
Once these words were uttered, the entire hall became completely quiet. No one spoke anymore.
The staff continued, âThatâs 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, Iâll be waiting for you here. Lastly, I sincerely wish all designers a good result.â
As the staff left, in the hall with dead silence, someone finally began to speak and mutter in a small voice.
âI think theyâre really playing us for a fool. They donât say what rules are there in advance and actually let us guess, who the hell can guess it.â
âYeah, those who know will think that we are here to participate in the designer competition but those who donât know may think itâs a brain teaser. I feel that the organizers donât give a damn about us as they arrange it in such ways. Theyâre apparently thinking that weâre begging them.â
âCome on, when that person said just now, how come you guys didnât say a word. Now, you guys keep complaining. Instead of doing this, you should think about the competition.â
The group of people left the stage in the midst of complaining. Just after Stella left the scene, a woman ran up to her, âHello Ms. Radomil, Iâm Charlotte Boyce.â
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.
âHello.â
Charlotte did not beat around the bush and directly stated her intention, âMay I have a word with you, I...Iâve drawn your work.â
Stella nodded, âSure.â
Charlotte did not expect that she was so nice. She even froze for a few seconds before saying and smiling, âLet me buy you a cup of coffee then, there is a café not far ahead.â
Stella glanced at the watch. Thinking that she had nothing to do anyway, she agreed, âAlright.â
While sitting in the café and after ordering coffee, Charlotte said, âIn fact, I quite like your work. I even bought your Puppy Loveâ 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.â
Hearing this, Stella was a bit surprised, âWhy?â
Charlotte said awkwardly, âArenât 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 donât 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 youâre seemingly not that hard to get along with like what Iâve imagined.â
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, âIâm just giving it a try.â
âAlas, in fact, itâs 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.â Charlotte sighed and said, âJust 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 donât understand the real intention of the organizers, itâs estimated that theyâll certainly be defeated in the rematch.â
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, âItâs 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.â
Charlotte nodded as she sipped her coffee, âYouâre right. By the way, you switched topics with Modesty, right? This means that your topic is Modestyâs style?â
âYes.â
Charlotte said, âIt seems like enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road, you donât 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.â
Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again ï¤Chapter 354: No Pain, No Gain An Eight-year-old Princess âAlthough she didnât 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 youâre Mr. Conradâs ex-wife. I didnât see her expression but I guess it should be wonderful.â
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, âIâm sorry to have delayed you for so long. After the competition, Iâll treat you to dinner.â
âItâs okay, itâs what I should do.â
The two of them went out of the café one after another.
In a black car not far away, Modestyâs eyes narrowed when she saw this scene. She handed the album in her hand to the man beside her, âThese are all my previous works and drafts. You can just imitate this and then add your usual design style into it.â
Arthur Barnett took it and said with utter confidence, âLeave it to me, donât worry, there will be no mistakes.â
Modesty said, âHalf of the money promised to you has already been transferred to your account. When the thing is completed, Iâll transfer all the rest to you at once.â
âNo rush, no rush. Then letâs wish us good cooperation in advance.â As Arthur said, his hand caressed Modestyâs thigh. She frowned and pulled his hand away, âShow some respect!â
Arthur laughed twice, âI thought we were the same kind of people since weâre doing this kind of thing. Fine, fine, Iâll show respect.â
Finished speaking, Arthur tidied up his tie and got out of the car with the album that Modesty gave him.
