Chapter 489 Packing the Sweetest Candy and Digging the Deepest Pit
Bai Qilan took a careful look at Ji Ya who was on the stage, then turned around and asked with some uncertainty, "Have you had festivals before?"
Tong Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
"Well, a little bit, but it seems that there are more festivals now."
When Tong Yan said this, she was a little helpless and disgusted.
She and Ji Ya are just pawns in Shang Qing's hands now, and she clearly knows that she is powerless to escape now.
Shang Qing obviously knew about her previous feud with Ji Ya, that's why she let Ji Ya play.
Ji Ya has a certain design foundation and talent, not to mention that she has indeed matured and stabilized a lot over the years. With Shang Qing's assistance, it is actually not difficult for Ji Ya to get a good ranking in this time.
However, Shang Qing used all despicable methods in order to make Ji Ya take the championship in her heart.
Although this idea makes people feel naive and ridiculous, it has to be said that it really works in many cases.
"Why, did this woman provoke you again recently?"
Bai Qilan's domineering and unreasonable way of protecting the calf made Tong Yan blush and grateful.
Since she became pregnant these days, although Bai Qilan has prevented their husband and wife from developing their relationship, it has to be said that this mother-in-law has taken care of her with all her heart, and is even willing to accompany her to this small fashion design competition.
It's not that Tong Yan is ignorant of Bai Qilan's hard work these days. Although it is because of the child in her belly, she has benefited after all, and she also feels the love Bai Qilan has for her.
Tong Yan shook her head, said with a smile: "It's not recently, but just now."
"Just now?"
Bai Qilan was taken aback for a moment, then she glared at the woman in the middle of the stage, her brows furrowed slightly.
Tong Yan didn't intend to make Bai Qilan more suspicious, and explained directly: "I'm afraid I can't blame her entirely, I'm afraid she is also a tool in Shang Qing's hands to win the championship."
"I've seen this cheongsam made by Ji Ya before. It's in Shang Qing's private showcase, but I'm more familiar with the pattern on it. It's a lost pattern of the Tong family. Neither my sister nor I know it."
Speaking of this, she was very ashamed. When she was young, she was playful. When her father taught her skills, she only learned some skills when she was in a good mood.
She didn't learn much!
"You mean that Shang Qing took her own work, made up such a question on purpose, and lied to everyone that it was a temporary question, and then stole your Tong family's pattern embroidery sample and gave it to this woman on the stage, so that I can't help it." She won the championship!"
Bai Qilan's words were very straightforward. Although Tong Yan didn't expect Bai Qilan to speak so straightforwardly, she couldn't help but nodded.
This matter sounds absurd but it is true, and she has no reason to refute it.
And she didn't know what kind of deal or agreement there was between Shang Qing and Ji Ya, but Tong Yan understood that the Tong family's album was a cover, and things would always fall into Shang Qing's hands.
Shang Qing used the photo album to test herself this time, and since she didn't achieve the effect she expected, she would still use this excuse from time to time to block her mind.
But one thing Shang Qing should understand is that the value of this album will not follow her wish.
"Hmph, she thinks it's beautiful!"
Bai Qilan glanced coldly at the position of the host seat, Shang Qing's attention was now on Ji Ya in the center of the stage, the smile on the corner of her mouth already showed that everything was going according to her premeditated plan.
The two were about the same age, and they were of the same generation. At the beginning, Lu Li had a good relationship, but when her husband died, the Lu family was in turmoil, and she also fully recognized the fickleness of the Li family and Shang Qing, a woman.
Although the Lu family is not the kind of narrow-minded and vengeful family, they will not get along well with the Li family.
Sitting next to Shang Qing was Mrs. Bo, two wealthy women who were the largest investors in this contest, talking and laughing in whispers.
It's ridiculous that Mrs. Bo, who had been following the lead of the Lu family a few days ago, is now able to laugh and flatter others.
"The kind of woman who sees the wind and the wind, doesn't need to pay too much attention to her, just dismiss her casually."
Tong Yan knew that Bai Qilan was talking about that Mrs. Bo who was very knowledgeable about current affairs.
"Well, remember!"
"But when it's time to let them have a long memory, let them have a long memory. After all, not everyone in our Lu family can twist it casually."
Do you really think she is still a girl in her teens and 20s like Tong Yan?They have lived for decades, but they are not the only ones who practice Taoism.
It's okay to use this kind of trick that can't be put on the table, but they dare to plot against their Lu family members.
If it was Tong Yan in the past, she might have hesitated about Bai Qilan's words.
But now she followed with a clear smile, her eyes were slightly bent into crescent moons like a cunning cat, looking at the opposite, Bai Qilan smiled softly: "Mom is right!"
Bai Qilan nodded in satisfaction: "Don't worry, you're right, it should belong to our Lu family, and sooner or later it will still belong to our Lu family. Those who want to take away our family's things should also check to see if he has this ability?"
Obviously, she felt that that woman Shang Qing didn't have the ability to take things from her Lu family.
If you take it, it can only show that it is wishful thinking.
The result of the contest was as they had expected.
The 'champion' is a new designer - Ms. Ji Ya!
Tong Yan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, clapping her hands 'warmly' along with those on stage.
Seeing the lights on the stage flickering and the ribbons flying, they easily met the gaze cast by Shang Qing on the stage.
Then, in Shang Qing's deep eyes, she smiled sweetly.
Obviously, when Shang Qing saw her smile, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
In her opinion, Tong Yan shouldn't be so happy to see something she cared about falling into the hands of her enemy.
Even if there is no psychological blow, you shouldn't laugh.
But Tong Yan smiled beautifully, even Bai Qilan with her side looked a little dazzling.
After the competition, Tong Yan followed Bai Qilan into the car, she didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, and she was always obedient.
Until the next morning, Tong Yan and Bai Qilan met this time's champion - Ji Ya in the hotel!
Tong Yan didn't see the shock on Ji Ya's face, but just followed Bai Qilan and sat down on the opposite sofa.
Tong Yan thought there would be an anxious negotiation between them, but before Ji Ya on the other side could recover, Bai Qilan had already spoken.
"After hearing that Ms. Ji won the championship this time, Mrs. Li will recommend you to Mrs. Bo's as their chief designer."
"I think a talent like Ms. Ji is a bit inferior to Bo's, but we, Lu's, have a branch that is currently short of a design director. I don't know if Ms. Ji is interested."
"By the way, the original general manager of this branch company started as a designer. Although Bo's family is rich, you should be very clear that our Lu's benefits are more than twice as good as theirs, not to mention Miss Ji. He is an award-winning talent, and our Lu family will not treat him badly."
Tong Yan at the side listened, and felt that her mother-in-law had put a lot of care into this sugar-coated cannonball, but the hole was dug a little deep, and she didn't know if Ji Ya would jump or not!
