Chapter 355: You Can Count on Me

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became quiet again.

It was indeed Sharon who suggested putting the work on the shelf and did it first.

If this was also rated by the organizers, then there was no surprise for her to get high score on
emergency response item.

But at this moment, someone suddenly whispered, "Who knows if she knew this rule in advance or
not?"

The staff continued: "Since you have chosen to participate in this competition, you should believe that
our organizers attach great importance to the competition.The entire process of the competition is fair
and impartial, and no tricks could be played.If there is still someone questioning the fairness of the
competition, you have the right to withdraw now in order to avoid any unacceptable results in the
future."

The entire hall then became completely quiet, and no one spoke.

The staff continued, "Then that's all for today.Please go back and prepare for the semi-finals.You have
ten days.Please bring your own works and come back here in ten days.I will wait for you here.Finally, I
sincerely hope that all the designers can have a good result."

As the staff left, someone began to mutter in the deathly quiet hall.

"I think they are really messing with us.They haven't told us the rules, but just let us guess.Who can
guess correctly?"

"That's right.We were known to participate in a designer competition here.But now it is like a brain-
twister competition.Didn't the organizers really look down upon us by doing this? It's as if we begged to
participate."



"Come on, why didn't you say a word when that person spoke just now? You know how to complain
now.It's better to spend the time in preparing for the competition."

A group of people left with their complaints.

Just as Sharon left, a girl ran to her and said, "Hello, Sharon, I'm Jane.”

Sharon had heard of her name, who was also a famous designer in these two years, only one year
older than her.

"Hello."

Jane did not beat around the bush and directly told her purpose, "Can I talk to you? I ...drew your
work."

Sharon nodded, "Sure."

Jane didn't expect that Sharon agreed so quickly, stunned for a few seconds.

She then smiled and said, "Let me treat you to a cup of coffee.There's a coffee shop not far from
here.’’

Sharon checked the time and thought that there was nothing to do anyway, so she agreed, "Alright.”

After they ordered coffee there, Jane said, "Actually, I really like your work.I even bought your First
Love collection, but never had the chance to know you.I didn't dare to greet you when I saw you at the
opening ceremony.”

Hearing this, Sharon was somewhat surprised, "Why?"

Jane said awkwardly, "Didn't they say that you were the ex-wife of the president of the Proctor Group? I
always feel that people like you standing at the top of the pyramid are very difficult to get along with.But



I don't think so anymore.Last time, you could just put the work on the shelf by yourself, but you
reminded us.I think that you are not as hard to get close to as I imagined."

Sharon smiled.

Standing at the top of the pyramid was not easy for anyone, even Jameson.

What he had experienced was unimaginable.

"I'm just having a try,’ she said.

"Well, it's actually quite good to be like you.You know that our industry is prone to being framed by rules
and questions.That's why the organizers set so many rules to innovate this time."

Jane sighed and said, "Let's say the design work.As time goes by, every designer will have his or her
own style and becomes more mature.However, at this time, you have to draw in the style that others
are good at.If they don't understand the real purpose of the organizers, they will probably stop at the
semi-finals."

There were two reasons why the organizers made such arrangements.

One was to innovate, as Jane said.

The other was to break the bonds and make bold attempts.

Sharon said, "It is indeed difficult to suddenly change your style.However, as long as you find the right
direction, you should still be able to gradually figure it out."

Jane nodded, drinking her coffee, "You're right.But then again, you changed the topic with Rita, didn't
you? In other words, your topic is Rita's style?"

"Yes"



Jane said, "It is really a small world.You shouldn't know, right? Rita slandered you a lot at a peer
gathering.She said that the reason why she left Lumiere Jewelry was because her boss was interested
in you and gave you all the good opportunities.She didn't have the chance to develop there."

"Although she didn't say the exact words, what she said meant that you had an improper relationship
with Lumiere Jewelry's upper echelons.However, the funniest thing was that not long after she said
these words, someone said on the Internet that you were Mr.Proctor's ex-wife.I didn't see her
expression, but it should be very awkward."

Sharon wasn't surprised at these words.

When Rita was still in Lumiere Jewelry, she had deliberately spoken ill of her.

After she left, everybody was talking about it.

Rita naturally had to make excuses for herself.

After chatting with Sharon for a while, Jane discovered that she totally wasn't defensive.

She could share anything of her design, which was much better than those so-called seniors who
seemed arrogant.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jane got up and said, "I'm sorry to have delayed you for so long.After
the competition, I'll invite you for dinner.’

"It doesn't matter."

The two of them left the cafe one after the other.

In the black car not far away, Rita watched them, squint-eyed.



She handed the picture album to the man beside her, "This is all my previous works and drafts.Just
copy them and add your design style to it.’’

Floren took it and said confidently, "You can count on me.Nothing will go wrong.’

Rita said, "Half the money I promised you has been transferred into your account.When it is done, the
rest will be given to you all at once."

"There's no hurry.Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance."

As Floren spoke, his hand stroked Rita's thigh gently.

Rita frowned and threw off his hand, "You should show some respect!"

Floren laughed loudly, "I thought we are of the same kind when we do such thing together.Well, I
respect you."

Then, Floren adjusted his tie and got off the car with the picture album Rita gave him.
