“Jiang Chen?”

Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s name, Yuan Shu was alarmed. She knew Jiang Chen’s unscrupulous way of doing things too well. She hadn’t expected him to be involved in this compet.i.tion as well.

If Yuan Shu and Jiang Chen wore two gowns made from the same fabric, what would the other prominent families think?

Although she and Shi Xiao were pretending to be distant, they were not divorced after all. If they were misunderstood at this moment, the prominent families would definitely gossip about Shi Xiao behind his back.

Yuan Shu was about to stop her, but it was already too late. Shi Yi agreed in a fit of pique and said, “Alright, the person who loses has to give up on the promotion of new products next season.”

Nowadays, clothing trends changed very quickly. If there were no new products in an entire season, everyone would forget about this brand. Shi Yi had made a big bet this time.

As w.a.n.g Jiao looked at the two of them, she felt a headache coming on. Xu Zhi knew how to anger Shi Yi the best, and Shi Yi was unwilling to lose in front of Xu Zhi. The two of them had become arch-rivals. This was completely contrary to her original goal.

After the discussion, w.a.n.g Jiao stood up to smooth things over. “The banquet will be held the night after tomorrow. The two of you have to hurry up and design. I’ll split the fabric into two and send it to the two of you. On the day of the banquet, I’ll suggest to Mr. Song that we add a compet.i.tion segment and everyone will vote. It’ll be up to everyone to decide who among the two of you designed the best gown.”

After saying this, w.a.n.g Jiao patted Shi Yi and Xu Zhi’s shoulders with both hands and said earnestly, “The two of you are my best friends and students. No matter which one of you can partic.i.p.ate in this design compet.i.tion, I’ll be very happy, so please design the clothing carefully to show respect to your opponent and this piece of fabric.”

On the way back, Yuan Shu was worried. After thinking about it, she still felt that it was a bad idea and asked Shi Yi, “Have you seen this material? Is it possible to dye this fabric in other colors?”

In a dilemma, Shi Yi looked at Yuan Shu and asked, “Sister-in-law, why do we have to dye the fabric in other colors? Not to mention that this material is very rare, just designing it takes a lot of effort, so dyeing it in other colors will make things even more time-consuming. If 1 can’t finish it before the night after tomorrow, won’t it be equivalent to admitting defeat?”

Yuan Shu remained silent, since she was right. They didn’t have the time to do this now.

Yuan Shu’s request was indeed a bit difficult to fulfill, but as long as it involved Jiang Chen, Yuan Shu had to deal with it seriously, since she was worried that she would fall into Jiang Chen’s trap.

She knew Jiang Chen too well. Jiang Chen was best at defeating his opponents in places that were easily overlooked by others. Yuan Shu had lost to Jiang Chen this way many times.

Besides, while Yuan Shu was familiar with Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen also knew her very well, so Yuan Shu regarded Jiang Chen as a very formidable opponent.

Just as the two of them were in a dilemma, Shi Yi suddenly had an idea. “Sister-in-law, it might be able to be changed. I remember the texture of that fabric. If I dye this fabric the color of rust, it can accentuate its beauty. Moreover, 1 have a design idea now. 1 think changing the color of the fabric is feasible.”

Yuan Shu was overjoyed.

After the two of them discussed the details, Shi Yi and Yuan Shu went home together. After measuring Yuan Shu’s figure, they rushed back to the company to make the gown.

After Xu Zhi left the w.a.n.g family’s clothing shop, he didn’t go home or to the company. Instead, he went to the Jiang family’s villa.

Jiang Chen was sitting on the sofa in the big European-style living room and Zheng Tian was reporting his recent work to him.

He said in an impa.s.sive tone, “We’ve already found clues about Mo Shu. He went to Liu Cheng Hospital and will go for a follow-up tomorrow.”

Jiang Chen nodded and said, “Don’t make any rash moves yet. If we can find him, others can find him too. Let’s see who will come into contact with him tomorrow. The person who comes into contact with him is the person we’re looking for.”

Zheng Tian was a little worried and said, “But all the famous people will be attending the Song family’s banquet tomorrow. I’m afraid that person won’t have the time to look for Mo Shu.”

Jiang Chen had forgotten about this..
