Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 121: Li Shao

Qin Zhuzhu looked behind the man, expecting Bai Qianhua to be there. Why did he come back?

"Miss Qin, I am Li Shao. Let me show you to your seat," the man said politely, bowing slightly to her.

Qin Zhuzhu nodded and smiled back. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Li."

"There are two seats with the surname ’Qin.’ I don’t know which one is yours, Miss. Please forgive me," the staff member said, bowing politely. They knew better than to offend her, as she looked like a big shot.

The staff member didn’t dare to meet her eyes. People like her would definitely find fault with everything they did, including the staff’s expression.

"It’s okay. I can find it myself. You can go," Qin Zhuzhu said politely to the staff. The staff member was caught off guard. They had expected her to be like the other candidate, whose surname was Bai.

"There’s my seat. Qin Zhuzhu," Qin said, spotting her seat in the front row. When she looked to the left, she saw that Bai Qianhua’s seat was placed near hers.

What bad luck! This White Lotus is everywhere beside me!

"Your name is Qin Zhuzhu?" Li Shao asked.

"Yes," she answered honestly, despite knowing that many people might judge her based on her bad reputation.

Then she thanked him for his help and went over to her seat. Emotions flickered across Li Shao’s eyes as he watched her pass him.

Qin Zhuzhu... It’s her. No wonder she felt familiar when I helped her up.

I never thought I’d get to see you again, Li Shao thought, his eyes filled with longing.

"Sir, your seat is ready," a girl with dyed blond hair came up to him and said. She followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at a candidate.

Why is my boss staring at that candidate? Miao Qian wondered.

"Alright. Let’s go," Li Shao said, suppressing his emotions as he walked off.

All the candidates were shown to their seats in front of a huge screen hanging above. The judges sat in front of the screen, with a long desk separating them.

There were many reporters among the staff as well, trying to get a glimpse of the designs. This was going to become one of the top news stories in Shengjing.

Bai Qianhua cast a sidelong glance at Qin Zhuzhu, who ignored her existence. Every time she saw Qin Zhuzhu, she felt a sudden urge to rip the latter’s face off. It was all thanks to Qin Zhuzhu that she and Brother Xu hadn’t gotten married five years ago! She had made her wait so long! Bai Qianhua called her assistant.

"Go to the back room and..." she whispered while acting normal. She made sure no one overheard her.

Li Shao was watching Qin Zhuzhu from afar. After so many years, she had matured and become even more beautiful.

"Miao Qian, go and find more information on candidate number nine," he instructed.

"Okay, sir," Miao Qian replied, wondering why her boss was particularly interested in this candidate. But she didn’t question it.

All the dresses and clothes the candidates had created were displayed on the huge screens above. When it was a candidate’s turn, they had to stand up, come to the stage, and talk about their design to impress the judges. The dress the candidate made would also be displayed on stage for everyone to see.

The audience wasn’t made up of ordinary people. They belonged to powerful companies in the fashion industry. Some were celebrities and top supermodels invited by the host, the CEO of the top fashion company in Shengjing.

The selection process for the best designs was fair. The audience could also vote for their favorite design.

One of the judges was a top fashion designer from overseas with many awards. Being recognized by him was every fashion designer’s dream. All the candidates wanted to please him and butter him up.

Bai Qianhua dreamed of getting his recognition. She was determined to win this round!

Qin Zhuzhu remained calm as she watched others talk about their dresses and the reasons why their designs were outstanding. It was Bai Qianhua’s turn next.

Bai Qianhua stood up and bowed to everyone. Her creation was a beautiful dress with butterfly patterns that glowed in the dark and a special lace that encircled the skirt, glittering like gold.

The collar of the dress was exquisitely designed, meticulously stitched by her own hands. The skirt trailed elegantly across the floor. Overall, the dress was stunning enough to turn heads and make top celebrities fight for it. It was perfect for a red carpet event or the Met Gala.

Bai Qianhua shot Qin Zhuzhu a sly and provocative smile, as if challenging her to beat her design.

When the dress was revealed, everyone oohed and aahed. The judges leaned over to take a closer look.

"This dress is so beautiful!"

"She’ll definitely make it to the third round!"

"Gorgeous! Splendid!"

"Miss Bai is very creative!"

Praises were sung for Bai Qianhua, who was feeling elated. She was sure she would win! The position would definitely be hers.

Some of the candidates took this chance to flatter her.

"Your family will definitely be pleased and proud!"

"Wow! Xu Meng is lucky to have a fiancée like you!"

"Thanks. I’m not married to him yet," she said shyly, hiding her face. She acted as though she didn’t want the attention, but inside, she was bursting with joy at the recognition she craved.

"Next up, Qin Zhuzhu!" the announcer boomed.

Qin Zhuzhu stepped onto the stage just as her dress was wheeled in by a few staff members.

"Hello, everyone! I’m one of the candidates, Qin Zhuzhu. This is my..." she began to introduce herself, but the murmurs and shocked looks on the audience’s faces stopped her.

The crowd started mumbling among themselves, pointing at her. Even the judges looked at her with disdain.

Qin Zhuzhu turned to see what they were pointing at.
