Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Once this design is seen, it has nothing to do with Jin Ran.

Leaving the hall, Yao Zhenqing couldn’t help but think of the old man he had seen earlier, and with a feeling of unease, he looked upstairs.

“What’s wrong?” Yuan Rou asked, puzzled.

Yao Zhenqing’s tone was hesitant, “The old man who followed Professor Chi just now… he looked a bit like the president of the Association…”

Yuan Rou let out a light laugh, “You must have seen wrong. How could the president of the International Jewelry Association come here alone? Wouldn’t he at least bring an assistant?”

That made sense.

Yao Zhenqing let go of his concerns and turned to leave.

–

Two days went by in a flash.

Soon, it was the last day of the Jade Appreciation Conference.

On this day, all designers aspiring to make a name for themselves would display their designs. If a major jeweler took notice or they received the majority of guests’ favorable opinions, that designer could rise to fame and step onto the international stage from their own country!

Even more remarkably, if recognized by the higher-ups of the International Jewelry Association, they might even have a chance to be directly recommended for membership!

On this day, before the guests had arrived, all the designers were there early.

Having connections with the Yao Family, Jin Ran went directly backstage to find Yao Zhenqing.

Yaoyu Han, upon hearing that Yao Zhenqing had really terminated his contract with the Fu Family, threw a tantrum at home and didn’t even attend the exhibition.

With Yaoyu Han being the Yao Family’s precious daughter, Yuan Rou couldn’t bear to blame her and could only sigh helplessly.

Yao Zhenqing had the staff arrange the designers’ submitted works in the front hall, while Jin Ran kept Yuan Rou company.

She was always charming and good at conversation, and it didn’t take long for her to cheer Yuan Rou up.

As they were talking, Jin Ran suddenly noticed a piece in the hands of a staff member.

The design was grand and mysterious, and even at a mere glance, it was startlingly stunning!

Jin Ran was taken aback and stopped the staff member, “Whose work is this?”

The staff member paused, respectfully handing over the design to Jin Ran.

Jin Ran took it and immediately looked displeased when she saw the signature at the bottom right, “It’s Zheng Xiu from the Fu Family…”

“From the Fu Family?” Yao Zhenqing came over, and Yuan Rou also looked at Jin Ran with confusion.

Jin Ran nodded, her eyes fixated on the piece, as the shadow of being overshadowed by a genius once again loomed over her.

She said gravely, “That’s the female designer who stunned the entire Jewelry Industry globally with her debut twenty years ago…”

Yao Zhenqing paused.

It was then that he looked at the work in Jin Ran’s hands. After just a glance, he turned to the staff member beside him, “Place this design in the western corner.”

As the vice president of the International Jewelry Association, Yao Zhenqing knew better than anyone that if most people saw this design, it would be impossible for Jin Ran to make a name for herself at this exhibition!

The western corner was where works of ordinary designers were placed, an established practice of the exhibition, and almost no guests would go there.

The staff member hesitated for a moment, then, with a hint of regret after glancing at the design, turned and walked away.

–

The exhibition soon officially began.

Accompanied by Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu entered the jewelry exhibition hall.

Even though the Jade Appreciation Conference had been going on for three days, the venue was still packed with a continuous stream of guests from other countries.

Mrs. Fu immediately spotted Jin Ran’s design, which was placed at the most eye-catching position of the exhibition, already attracting the attention of most of the crowd.

Next to it was Zheng Wen’s design.

Being held in Huaxia, naturally the exhibition had to give face to the top designer of Huaxia, so Zheng Wen’s design was placed in a position only second to Jin Ran’s, drawing a large number of onlookers as well.

After walking around the exhibition with Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu finally saw her own work in a neglected corner.

Mr. Fu’s expression turned sour immediately.
