Chapter 638: Chief Designer

Fang Xinxin smiled.

The Qiao Yang Finance Group that she had established was involved in various industries. It’s yearly profit was more than ten digits.

To speak the truth, she had never taken a single cent from Bai Qinghao to establish her own business. She had also never relied on Bai Qinghao’s influence to get to this point. That was also why no one was aware of the accomplishments she had made thus far.

She even had no trouble handing over a billion dollars in cash right now if the need truly came up.

However, even if everyone felt that she was poor and desolate, very few of them would openly mock her.

This was especially so considering how it was an open secret that Bai Qinghao doted on her dearly. She was also the Sheng Shi Group’s future CEO’s wife. As employees of Sheng Shi Group, it was unlikely for them to offend her so foolishly.

Clearly something was amiss with this Xiao Aiting.

Bai Qingrou’s car was not parked very far and she had clearly overheard their words after alighting. Still, she pretended not to have heard anything as she approached them. “What’s happening?”

“You must be Miss Bai Jingrou. Aiyo, I’ve seen your photos on the news. I’ve heard a lot of good things about you!” Xiao Aiting immediately put on a flattering expression.

“I am. You are?”

“I’m Xiao Aiting, from the fashion department. I heard that you will soon become the Chief Designer in our department. Please take care of me in the future.”

Bai Jingrou smiled in a refined manner. “That hasn’t been decided yet. Today, Miss Fang and I will compete by handing over a design each. Whoever wins will become the Chief Designer.”

“How is she possibly your opponent?” Xiao Aiting flattered her. “If she weren’t relying on Bai Qinghao’s status, you would have easily crushed her just as the great Long Group’s lady. Besides, I’ve seen your designs. You’ve won the third place in an international competition, haven’t you?”

“Wow!” An employee exclaimed. “To win third place in an international competition means that she must be an outstanding expert.”

The crowd began to whisper among themselves. “I heard that the position of Chief Designer was already fixed for Miss Bai Jingrou. It was Fang Xinxin who interfered… Fang Xinxin is an inexperienced student who has just finished her third year of university. I bet she’ll suffer a humiliating loss this time…”

Fang Xinxin took in everyone’s reaction.

She then glanced at Bai Jingrou. Although Bai Jingrou had a refined smile on and was dressed appropriately, a hint of satisfaction flashed past her eyes.

Fang Xinxin immediately understood.

She heard that the position was fixed… For this matter, aside from Bai Qinghao and Bai Chongshan, only Bai Jingrou and her family knew of it. The first two would never spread news about it. It was most likely that Bai Jingrou had been the one spreading the rumours.

As for Xiao Aiting, seeing how she was so hasty to step on her future CEO’s wife, she had most likely been won over by Bai Jingrou.

Bai Jingrou was cunning and ruthless. She was much harder to deal with than Fang Manxue.

In her previous life, she had suffered countless losses. Her miscarriage, the loss of her sight, the accident that left her paralysed…

Even then, she had failed to find the instigator and could only rely on her instincts to guess that it had been Bai Jingrou.

Bai Jingrou truly hid her schemes too well.

Bai Jingrou had to be very pleased with her position as the Long Group’s successor. Unfortunately, she was used to being seen as refined in front of others and it was not suitable for her to bring this matter up herself.

Thus, she relied on someone else to do it for her.

Fang Xinxin lifted her brows. “In which international competition did you win such an outstanding prize? Share it with us so that we can admire you for it.”

“Oh, it isn’t anything big…” Bai Jingrou’s expression was humble.

“You only have the right to admire her for it.” Xiao Aiting shot Fang Xinxin with a look of disdain. “Don’t think that you’re amazing just because you’re Jing Hua University’s star student. You haven’t even stepped into the working society. I’ll give you a reminder out of the goodness of my heart. Your accomplishments are only sufficient for you to play pretend.”
