Lin Qingqian knew that he was worried about her and said softly, “Aren’t I fine?”

“You’re definitely not allowed to do this next time,” Han Liubai said with a frown.

Lin Qingqian nodded and agreed helplessly. “Alright.’

“What are you going to do later?” Han Liubai was still worried. Since she did not invite the models, it meant that she had to do it herself. He was afraid that she would do another dangerous stunt. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.

Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “Don’t worry, I won’t fly or burrow into the ground later. I’ll walk up the stage obediently.”

Han Liubai still wanted to say something, but Lin Qingqian said anxiously, “The competition is about to begin. I’ll go back and prepare first.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked backstage.

Han Liubai swallowed the words he was about to say and could only watch her leave.

When Lin Qingqian returned backstage, everything was as usual.

Su Ying sat on a chair. Seeing that she had returned, she stood up and said, “Sister Qingqian, is the competition about to begin?”

Lin Qingqian nodded.

Lin Qingqian nodded and agreed helplessly. “Alright.’

Han Liubai swallowed the words he was about to say and could only watch her leave.

When Lin Qingqian returned backstage, everything was as usual.

Su Ying sat on a chair. Seeing that she had returned, she stood up and said, “Sister Qingqian, is the competition about to begin?

Lin Qingqian nodded.

“Do you want to change, then? Do you need my help?” she asked.

“There’s no need to change this time. Just help me push the clothes rack to the entrance,” Lin Qingqian said softly.

Su Ying nodded. “Alright.”

There was a pulley setup under the hanger. The two of them pushed the hanger towards the backstage.

When they passed by the corridor, many staff members looked over curiously. Because the clothes rack was covered with a black cloth and they could not see what it was, it made them even more curious.

At the entrance of the runway, Lin Qingqian and Su Ying carried the clothes rack up. “Alright, go to the front desk first. I’ll be fine here.”

Su Ying obediently went to the front desk first. She walked to Han Liubai’s side and looked at him. She pursed her lips and did not say anything.

Her hands behind her intertwined uneasily.

The first to appear was the Japanese designer. Because the theme of the competition was “the scenery of their hometown”, the design was still ethnically styled.

The second person to appear was Xu Zhao. His bold and novel design was inspired by the crane, and his appearance attracted the applause of many audience and judges.

The last to appear was Lin Qingqian. She did not have a model and only pushed the clothes rack slowly to the runway.

The black cloth on the clothes rack was never lifted, and it was filled with mystery. Even Xu Zhao couldn’t help but look over curiously.

He had to admit that Lin Qingqian’s design styles are unexpected.

When you thought that she would design a cheongsam, her green dress made people’s eyes light up. When you thought that she would continue to walk the small and clear path, she changed to a cheongsam..

The European-style dress just now was even more beautiful.

At this moment, it was the finals and the last step towards the championship. Everyone was looking forward to what shocking work she would produce.

Seeing that she was not taking the usual path, Lisa sneered. “Are you unable to hire a model?”

Just now, she had gone on stage herself and now, she was pushing a clothes rack over. She was simply embarrassing herself.

Lin Qingqian’s red lips curled up slightly. “Of course I can, but I don’t want to.”

Lisa frowned. “Arrogant people can’t make good designs.”

Lin Qingqian had sensed that she was filled with hostility towards her since the last round. Her delicate facial features were indifferent, and she was not angry at her public humiliation. She said indifferently.

—Without knowing the full picture, one shouldn’t make comments.

Lisa’s expression darkened. Seeing that the atmosphere was about to freeze, the emcee hurriedly stood up to smooth things over. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝙗𝓷𝓸𝙫𝓮𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

When his gaze swept across Lin Qingqian, he couldn’t help but wipe his cold sweat. Did this designer know who Lisa was? She actually dared to talk back to her in public. No matter how good her work was, she was probably not fated to be the champion.

Lisa was the chief designer of S.T. She was here to be a special judge, so she naturally had a certain say. If she objected, the other judges would more or less give her face.

Below the stage, Ming Xiao sat in her seat and looked expectantly at Lin Qingqian on stage…

A mere S.T Fashion Design Competition was nothing to her, but she didn’t want Lin Qingqian to be in the limelight this time.

As long as it was something Lin Qingqian cared about, she would destroy it!!

Lin Qingqian met her eyes and smiled at her.

The smile on Ming Xiao’s lips sank as she sneered silently. She thought to herself, “Lin Qingqian, you can still be smug for a few more minutes. Let’s see how smug you can be later!”

After the emcee finished interviewing the two designers and models, the judges also commented. It was finally Lin Qingqian’s turn.

The emcee smiled and asked her if she could unveil the mystery of her work.

Lin Qingqian said in a light voice, “Sure.”

The lights in the audience were all extinguished, leaving only a circular blue glow on the clothes rack on the catwalk.

Lin Qingqian’s fair and slender fingers pinched the black cloth and pulled it down gently. The black cloth slid down like silk…

Everyone present was stunned. The people in the broadcast room were stunned for a few seconds before they quickly reacted and asked the cameraman to take a close-up.

Ming Xiao suddenly stood up and looked at the clothes hanging on the clothes rack. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she muttered, “How did this happen?”

In the next second, her malicious eyes glared in Su Ying’s direction.

Su Ying felt a chill run down her spine. She turned to look at her and revealed a bright smile. She even gestured a peace sign with her hand.

Ming Xiao quickly understood that she had been tricked by them. Her eyes were filled with intense hatred as she immediately took out her phone and sent a message.

In less than a few seconds, Lisa picked up her phone and took a look. Then, she stood up and said, “Miss Lin, your qualification to participate has been revoked.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally stunned audience regained their senses and were even more dumbfounded.

This wave turned too quickly. They couldn’t keep up at all.

When Lin Qingqian heard this, her eyes turned slightly cold as she said indifferently, “The reason!”

“As far as I know, this is not a piece you designed to participate in the competition at all!” Lisa said sternly. “The piece you originally used to participate in the competition has already been destroyed. You got a suit from somewhere at the last minute and treated it as your own work. You’re simply a disgrace to the design industry, so I announce that you’re disqualified from participating and we will never work with you again.”

As soon as she said this, the entire venue exploded.

If this was not Lin Qingqian’s design, then wasn’t that cheating? Many of the audience’s eyes revealed disdain.

Ming Xiao had already regained her composure and sat down calmly, waiting to watch a good show.

Did she think that she could get away with changing her clothes at the last minute? Dream on!

Lin Qingqian’s expression was still calm as she said unhurriedly, “May I ask if your position represents S.T.’s position?”

“Of course!” Lisa raised her chin and said proudly, “I’m S.T.’s chief designer. My position can naturally replace S.T’s.”

“Then I want to ask who in the rules of the competition stipulates that the contestants can only prepare one design?” Lin Qingqian asked again.

Lisa was stunned for a moment before she quickly reacted. “Of course not, but this dress is not yours at all.”

“What if I can prove that I designed this dress?” Lin Qingqian asked without thinking.

Lisa’s throat tightened. Before she could speak, she heard her gentle voice say,

“If I can prove that I designed this work, please apologize to me in public.”

There was no need for the emcee to pacify the crowd at the event location. They directly whistled and applauded. The onlookers never complained about having a good show to watch.

The scene became very awkward. Lisa was in a dilemma, but she braced herself for the sake of her face and said, “Alright, if you can prove that you designed it, I’ll apologize to you.”

Lin Qingqian turned sideways and walked to the clothes rack. She rolled up the left sleeve of her suit and revealed an embroidered word on the sleeve with dark blue thread.

Although it was not obvious, it could be seen clearly if one looked carefully.

“Didn’t you just ask if I can’t afford to hire a model?” Lin Qingqian turned to look at Lisa, who was sitting at the judges’ table, and saw that her face was gradually turning pale.

“It’s not that I can’t afford a model, but this dress is a gift from me to someone very important.”

Lin Qingqian pursed her lips slightly. When she mentioned that person, a trace of disappointment and sadness quickly flashed across her clear eyes.

“He should have been my model in the finals. But it’s a pity that he can’t come for some reason… so I’d rather not have a model.”

Because this was Ah Yan’s gift. No one else could wear it.

The disappointment in Lin Qingqian’s eyes disappeared in a flash. When she glanced at Lisa, her gaze was cold and sharp. “It’s not against the rules for me to use my own work, right?”

The scene fell into awkwardness. Lisa did not expect things to develop like this and couldn’t help but glare at Ming Xiao.

The smile on Ming Xiao’s face completely disappeared as she glared at Lin Qingqian coldly, an unprecedented hatred surging in her heart!

She had long known that Lin Qingqian was scheming, so she wanted to see Su Ying splash the coffee on her clothes with her own eyes. However, she never expected…

The clothes were indeed a participating piece, but it was only something that was a backup for the previous round.

Lin Qingqian raised her hand and brushed her bangs that covered her eyes, revealing her bright eyes that were cold and sharp. “Designer Lisa doesn’t intend to apologize to me?”

The veins on Lisa’s face were about to pop out. With her current status, if she apologized to Lin Qingqian in public, she would become a laughing stock in the fashion circle in the future!

She definitely could not apologize.

“I misunderstood you. Let the competition continue…” Lisa gritted her teeth and let go, barely squeezing out a sentence to save her dignity.

Lin Qingqian was not aggressive and insisted that she apologize. Instead, she said calmly, “Can Lisa explain how you found out that my work was destroyed?”

The atmosphere that had just eased up immediately stirred again because of her words. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. The emcee held the microphone with a hopeless expression.

Saving the situation?

That was impossible. The possibility did not exist. Even if an immortal came, he would not be able to save this scene.

Lisa gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. Under the gazes of the audience, she flicked her sleeves and left.

If she didn’t apologize, she could at least maintain her dignity and status!

When the emcee saw this, he raised the microphone and was about to save the situation when he heard Lin Qingqian’s unhurried voice from the speaker—

“Based on what Ms. Lisa said just now, her position represents S.T.’s position. She slandered me for cheating and refused to apologize afterward. This has caused great damage to my reputation.

At this point, I express my disappointment in S.T. Company.. In order to protect my reputation and my passion as a designer, I’ve decided… to withdraw from the competition to protest!”
