Chapter 45: Not Qualified
"This lady here is Eve, who has quite impressive skills in design. Her works even received a nomination award at the Milan International Fashion Exhibition," introducing Su Chen, He Tianqi then introduced Lin Xi to everyone.
The Milan International Fashion Exhibition holds a very high prestige in the design world, and winning an award there indeed means real talent.
Everyone now regarded Lin Xi more highly.
"Moreover, Eve has a very special ability, that is, she can tell a person's height, weight, and measurements just by looking with her eyes," He Tianqi continued.
"Oh, really?"
The crowd looked skeptical and insisted that Lin Xi demonstrate right there.
Lin Xi also modestly showcased this skill, eliciting admiration from everyone.
Then, they proceeded with mutual praises.
Lin Xi found it somewhat boring.
Communicating with these people, there wasn't much meaning.
Finally, just when Lin Xi was growing impatient, that world-class designer master arrived.
"It's him!" Upon seeing the designer master.
Lin Xi immediately felt that her trip had not been in vain.
Mebis!
The famous Italian designer.
His works had also won a silver award at the Milan International Fashion Exhibition!
Although Lin Xi had also won an award, it was merely a nomination award, which paled in comparison to Mebis's silver award.
"How about it, Eve, are you satisfied?" He Tianqi looked at Lin Xi with a smile.
Mebis, although not yet the top-notch designer master, was already a world-class designer master.
As long as those few Monsters didn't show up, no one could overshadow him.
To get Mebis to come, He Tianqi had paid a huge price.
Of course, Lin Xi was satisfied.
"Mr. Mebis, I've heard so much about you," Lin Xi took the initiative to extend her hand.
She also cautiously glanced at Su Chen, fearing that he might suddenly interfere and ruin her good fortune.
However, this time, Su Chen merely showed an indifferent and carefree attitude.
It seemed like this world-class designer master was nothing but trivial in his eyes.
For others, meeting Mebis was naturally a great honor, and they immediately crowded around to curry favor with Mebis.
Even just shaking hands with Mebis felt immensely honorable.
"Su Chen, you should go shake hands with Mebis." Since Su Chen's character is also a designer, Lin Xi felt that his reaction was quite improper.
After all, as a designer, seeing such legendary figures yet showing no reaction. S*ou*r.ced& d$ir^e*ct*l^y fr+o-m* MV^6+LEMP6@YR.+
It either means you are a being superior to even Legendary designers, or you're simply not from this circle.
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Su Chen curiously asked, "Why should I shake hands with him?"
"Because he's a world-class designer master," Lin Xi was overwhelmed with frustration, knowing that Su Chen was indeed not from this circle; that's why he didn't react, but please, you're acting as a designer master now, could you be more professional?
The corner of Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly as he said, "A world-class designer master? Not worthy to shake my hand."
Su Chen's voice was not soft, virtually everyone present heard him.
Suddenly, there was complete silence.
A world-class designer master, not worthy to shake your hand?
Who the hell do you think you are?
A freak of the design world, Dilasi?
He was so arrogant.
The young designers, one by one, showed a look of indignation; this idiot boasted about being a designer graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was one thing, but to insult a world-class designer master, that was intolerable.
"Su Chen, enough!" Even Lin Xi couldn't help it anymore, and finally exploded.
She brought Su Chen here originally to give herself a sense of security while also showing He Tianqi that she was married, so that He Tianqi wouldn't keep harboring feelings for her.
However, Su Chen kept embarrassing her, repeatedly leaving her unable to save face.
In order to have a chance to interact with world-class designers, she even went against her conscience to attend He Tianqi's banquet.
But now, Su Chen completely ruined it for her.
"What's wrong with me?" Seeing Lin Xi angry, Su Chen is also somewhat puzzled.
He didn't say anything wrong.
Isn't it just a minor designer?
He doesn't qualify to shake hands with him.
Who is he?
Reverse Dragon Death God!
Not to mention that Mebis has not yet reached the top level, even if it had reached, it still doesn't qualify to shake hands with the Death God.
You should know that even the gold award at the Milan International Fashion Exhibition, Su Chen can determine its outcome with just a word.
A Mebis, he naturally doesn't take it seriously.
But Lin Xi doesn't think that way.
The opportunity she had worked so hard for was ruined by Su Chen.
She felt angry, furious, and aggrieved.
"Just go!" Lin Xi stubbornly turned her head away, trying her best not to let her tears fall.
Seeing this, He Tianqi suddenly realized his mistake.
Clearly, this man meant something extraordinary to Lin Xi.
Definitely not just a simple employee of her company.
He had been careless.
He had almost been deceived.
However, this guy really doesn't know his own blessings, clearly having been close to Lin Xi, yet ruining his chances by his own hands.
Such a fool.
He Tianqi shook his head sympathetically.
"Are you sure?" Su Chen said, lips curling into a smirk.
He's not a fool, today's banquet is definitely a trap for Lin Xi.
It might just be the end of her here.
Because, from the moment he walked into the mansion, he sensed several hidden experts.
Clearly, He Tianqi intended to resort to subterfuge if open confrontation failed.
As long as Lin Xi boarded his ship first, everything else would be simple.
Su Chen wasn't wrong.
That was exactly what He Tianqi was thinking.
He would first propose to Lin Xi, and if Lin Xi refused, let his hidden experts kidnap Lin Xi, knock her unconscious, and forcefully have her.
Afterwards, he would pretend to rescue Lin Xi.
But now, the goddess is no longer the goddess.
And he, He Tianqi, will play the role of a caring man.
Comfort Lin Xi and tell her that he is willing to marry her, he doesn't care that she's no longer pure.
He believes by then Lin Xi, no longer the innocent corporate president, will have a ninety-nine percent chance of agreeing to his proposal.
What Lin Xi didn't know was that the person who would have her was himself.
Although Lin Xi hates being deceived, if she doesn't know, then it's fine, right?
He once told Lin Xi that a mistake made will not be repeated.
This doesn't mean he won't deceive Lin Xi again, but that he won't let Lin Xi see through his scheme again.
"I am sure, completely sure!" Lin Xi said expressionlessly to Su Chen.
