Stung Her Eyes

A tall, muscular, and strong silhouette was standing at the entrance to the meeting room. He had gorgeous facial features and a figure that could rival a male model. He was dressed in a long black trench coat that could arouse anyone. Every detail of his body was ultimate perfection from head to toe. 

However, he looked rather annoyed. 

"Chief Sheng? Which Chief Sheng is that? Is he the administration of SL Holdings?"

"How could you not know about Chief Sheng?! He's the chief designer of SL Holdings! He's nicknamed the Godfather of Fashion and is the most influential male god of the fashion world in the country!" 

"He looks even better than in magazines! Oh my god, we are truly in luck! We actually have the chance to see him with our own eyes. I heard that Chief Sheng only comes to the headquarters a few times a year…"

The participants discussed animatedly and their excitement was apparent on their faces. 

Luo Chenxi's gaze also landed upon Sheng Yu. 

So, this was the legendary Godfather of Fashion. He looked much younger than she had imagined and was probably less than thirty years old. 

Sheng Yu's brows were furrowed. "Andy, Old Huang told me that there's a genius designer from the audition today. Where's the person? My time is very precious. Send her to me quickly."

"Uh, about that…"

Cold sweat emerged on Andy's forehead at once. He did not expect Sheng Yu to arrive at this very moment. 

The judging panel thought that they had discovered a rare genius, so they had gone over to Chief Sheng to claim merit for themselves in excitement. Unfortunately, the person actually had a dark past of plagiarism!

How was he going to justify himself to Sheng Yu?

"Cough, cough, Chief Sheng, there has been a small mishap that happened during the audition. We have made a mistake. We would like to request you to take a rest in your office for a moment. I shall come over to explain to you after I'm done handling the matter here…"

"SL's spring collection launch is starting at 2 p.m. today. Do you know how many tasks I've pushed away just to come here today? Stop talking nonsense. You just need to tell me whose portfolio this is."

Sheng Yu procured a portfolio from his trench coat and waved it at Andy.

The huge number '12' printed on the cover immediately stung Zuo Xiaoqing's eyes. 

Was Sheng Yu actually here because of Luo Chenxi's portfolio? He had even announced his purpose of looking for her! How was that possible? How could Sheng Yu possibly show interest in the wicked girl's work?

"Chief Sheng…" Zuo Xiaoqing could not refrain herself anymore, so she spoke. 

Sheng Yu squinted his eyes. "Does this portfolio belong to you?" As he was speaking, he looked at Zuo Xiaoqing from the dress she wore to the mid-top leather boots on her feet. He instantly frowned. "That can't possibly be right, can it?"

Noticing Sheng Yu's gaze and hearing his doubt made Zuo Xiaoqing blush scarlet at once. Shen Yu's dismissal of her outfit today was exactly the same as Luo Chenxi's!

"The portfolio isn't mine actually, but…"

"If it's not yours, why are you speaking? Have I asked you a question?"

Zuo Xiaoqing was incomparably embarrassed and infuriated by his remark. However, she had no choice but to brace herself and continue, "Chief Sheng, the portfolio has been plagiarized! Participant Number 12 was expelled by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Country Y for misconduct! Don't be fooled by her!"

Upon listening to her words, Sheng Yu finally looked at Zuo Xiaoqing for the very first time. "What did you say?"

Zuo Xiaoqing became even more excited because she was under the assumption that Sheng Yu believed her. She hastily repeated the story which she had told Andy earlier with exaggeration. 

When she was done speaking, she took a provocative glance at Luo Chenxi. 

Luo Chenxi had always thought that she was a noble empress. Did she really think that she was a genius? She was still going to be chased out of SL Holdings with a broom anyhow! Perhaps, she would even be barred from the entire fashion world!
