After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

The person who was always indignant was Zhao Qiuyue's good friend, but in fact, the relationship between the two was not as simple as it seemed.

Liu Qing, 25 years old, was also an intern trained by Zhao Qiuyue. During her internship, Zhao Qiuyue praised her abilities to the director and revised her work before it was patterned and uploaded. From then on, Liu Qing was deeply grateful to Zhao Qiuyue.

To put it bluntly, she was nothing more than Zhao Qiuyue's lackey. She always obeyed Zhao Qiuyue's every word, and would carry out whatever Zhao Qiuyue asked without hesitation.

Sometimes, even when she knew that these demands were excessive or unreasonable, she dared not resist or question them in the slightest.

Seeing that someone was speaking up for her, Zhao Qiuyue's expression softened a bit, and she immediately put on a submissive look.

Seeing her like this, Deng Jiagui felt a little sorry for her, but the result was already out and no one could change it.

"Alright, everyone, please calm down. There are two works selected this time. The second one is from Group A. Now let's focus on Ye Huaiyin's 'Rainy Alley: Ink Color'. Please look at the big screen."

Upon hearing this, Ji Nianci's eyes flickered, and a hint of anticipation appeared in her expression.

Ever since Ye Huaiyin helped her out of a predicament last time, she had developed a liking for him.

Later, she also learned about Ye Huaiyin's works, and only then did she realize how stunning her dress designs were.

Every dress she designed was distinctive and stylish, and each one caught the eye of Ji Nianci.

Ye Huaiyin is quite well-known in the industry, and many celebrities have asked her to design dresses.

She designs dresses that suit each client's body shape, showcasing their best features to the fullest extent.

Not only is it suitable, but it also has a unique visual appeal.

It truly achieves the goal of people wearing clothes, rather than clothes wearing people.

Basically, everyone who has worked with Ye Huaiyin speaks highly of her.

Even everyday clothes are layered, artistically designed, and eye-catching.

The clothes she designed have consistently been among the top sellers in the company's design department.

Actually, I bought several sets of them privately.

Ji Nianci still remembers that it was very late that night. She was lying on the bed with her tablet, looking at Ye Huaiyin's designs with great interest, and didn't even know when Shen Ceyan arrived.

Finally, Shen Ceyan walked over with a gloomy face, took the tablet from her hand, and forced her to sleep. Only then did she fall asleep with some resentment.

Before falling asleep, he muttered a couple of things about Shen Ceyan.

……

Now that she has the opportunity to see Ye Huaiyin's original manuscript, she can't hide the anticipation on her face. After all, such a good thing doesn't come around every time, and she wants to cherish this opportunity.

When Ye Huaiyin's design draft actually appeared on the big screen, Ji Nianci felt as if she could stop breathing.

It was a classic-style dress with a strapless bodice, a small vest, and a train at the back.

The pattern is a traditional Chinese ink painting, as if mountains, rivers and pine forests have been brought to the dress. It extends from the chest to the train, and the hem is also gradient. The whole dress is integrated with the landscape painting, and the overall style has a mysterious and grand oriental feel.

The use of color and ink, along with ample blank space, creates an immersive experience that exudes a powerful and majestic atmosphere.

The people below gasped in amazement:

"My God, now I know why Sister Huaiyin was able to win first place."

"If it were me, I would choose this one too, it's amazing."

"I feel like our company is going to win."

Zhao Qiuyue's expression was unpredictable.

"Now I'm actually curious about Sister Qiuyue's work. Didn't you say that another piece of hers was selected?"

"I feel that Sister Qiuyue's should be pretty good too, I wonder if she was selected."

"Of course, if Sister Qiuyue isn't chosen, who else could be?"

Ji Nianci wasn't in the mood to listen to their discussion; she simply stared quietly at the design draft on the big screen.

It's really beautiful.

She couldn't even think of any adjectives to describe the work.

This work truly deserves its selection.

In memory of your compassionate heart, take this medicine orally.

The only pity is that Ye Huaiyin wasn't there.

……

At this moment, Deng Jiagui's voice pulled everyone back to reality:

"Alright, now we'll announce the second selected work."

Everyone tensed up, as this was the last chance to be selected.

"—Zhao Qiuyue's 'Blue and White Porcelain with Entwined Branches'!"

In remembrance of Ci Shen's solemn expression.

Upon hearing her name, Zhao Qiuyue's expression finally softened a bit, and she glanced at Ji Nianci with a hint of smugness.

Some people below sighed softly, a hint of regret in their voices, but most seemed to have already anticipated the outcome. After all, these two had always been the two giants of the design department, so it was only natural that they would stand out in this selection.

"I knew it! Sister Qiuyue's work would definitely be selected."

"Yes, she and Sister Huaiyin have always been evenly matched."

"That being said, there's still some regret, after all, it's a design I worked hard on for several days."

"It's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future."

Remembering Ci, I frowned, thinking of that name...

For some reason, she had a bad feeling.

"Next, let's take a look at Zhao Qiuyue's work—"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Qiuyue's artwork appeared on the screen.

Ji Nianci quickly looked up.

With just one glance, her face turned ashen, her mind went blank, and she couldn't hide the shock and confusion in her eyes.

Why……

On the screen, a striking blue fishtail strapless gown was displayed, its body adorned with large patches of blue and white porcelain.

This design is over 90% similar to hers, with only a few minor modifications.

At first glance, the memorial to Ci really looked like his own manuscript was displayed on the screen.

"I think Sister Qiuyue's works are also very good, they are refreshing."

"Yes, they have very distinct characteristics, but I still feel that Sister Huaiyin is better. I think this selection is quite fair and just."

"No, I think their works are about the same."

"That's hard to say. In any case, both of these will be submitted for competition. Design is subjective, so maybe the eldest daughter of the Luo family will like this one?"

"That's true, who can say for sure..."

Ji Nianci stared blankly, and suddenly the words Deng Jiagui had said to her that day flashed through her mind...
