There was no room for the French side to rebut.
After the meeting ended, Kang Mobei directly brought Luoluo into the meeting room.
Bai Nianxi was still in a daze. What happened just now had already developed far beyond her expectations.
Why did Luoluo suddenly rush over here, and why was she responsible for the cover design? Why did Kang Mobei agree? Was she really going to participate in the fight against Jenny after this?
Bai Nianxi stood in front of the bathroom sink and stared into the mirror, lost in thought.
"A wild chicken is a wild chicken. Do you think that you can become a phoenix just by standing on a high branch?" Jenny appeared in the doorway, her face full of contempt.
Bai Nianxi snapped out of her daze and looked toward the door. "What did you say?"
Jenny chuckled. "I said you were a wild chicken."
You're here to find fault again?
"I'm a wild chicken, so what if you steal something from a wild chicken and become famous for it?" Bai Nianxi retorted with a sarcastic tone.
Jenny did not continue Bai Nianxi's line of questioning, only snorting. "Do you really think you're qualified to compete with me with just you?" How much did he deserve? How could he not know? Why do you want to humiliate yourself? Xiao thought of something that doesn't belong to you? "
"So you're here to advise me to give up the competition and hand over the design right?" Bai Nianxi looked at Jenny with narrowed eyes.
The idea of this new product, which she had heard at the conference, was a subject of great interest to her. If she could win the right to design the cover this time, it would be a great thing for her.
Although this opportunity had come out of nowhere, since it had come, she had to seize it.
Bai Nianxi shook her head. "Impossible."
"Rather than focusing on me, I'd advise Miss Jenny to think of a way to design her competition."
"You …" Looking at Bai Nianxi's unmoved expression, Jenny was flustered. How could she have the courage to speak to her in such a manner?
Sneering, he continued, "Anyway, the end result is the same, what's the use of all this? "What? Miss Bai likes to waste her time?"
Bai Nianxi was silent. She thought of how her painting had ended up in someone else's hands. She had spent months, so much effort, all of it had gone down the drain.
There was a sharp chill in her voice as she said, "What? Is Miss Jenny going to steal my painting again?"
Unable to hold it in any longer, Jenny raised her hand towards Bai Nianxi. Just as Bai Nianxi was about to reach out to catch her hand, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open. Gao Wanqing was standing in front of the door.
Bai Nianxi held Jenny's hand, which was moving towards Bai Nianxi. The two of them were in a deadlock.
Gao Wanqing looked in their direction, her eyes as cold as usual. Then, as if nothing had happened, she walked straight into the bathroom.
It was just that Jenny had become somewhat embarrassed. She stopped arguing with Bai Nianxi and left in a hurry after saying those words.
"Bai Nianxi, we'll see."
After Jenny had left, Bai Nianxi let out a light breath. She looked at the place where Gao Wanqing had gone and said, "Thank you."
Gao Wanqing didn't reply, and Bai Nianxi walked out.
"This is the information for the new product. Take a look. Based on this, design a new product for me to participate in the competition." Jenny tossed a thick stack of documents to Wu Ling, who was on the sickbed.
Since the last time, Wu Ling's broken leg had been injured again, and she had been treated with plaster cast twice. She was still lying on the bed.
Not daring to disobey Jenny's instructions, Wu Ling picked up the documents and browsed through them. "What is this?"
"Why do you care so much? "If I tell you to do it, then do it!" Jenny was getting impatient.
"When do you want it?"
Jenny frowned. "I'll give you two weeks."
"Two weeks!" Wu Ling almost cried out as she realized she had lost her composure and covered her mouth with her hands.
With so much information, it should take quite a bit of time just to finish reading it, right? You also need to design the cover according to the product concept. After drawing the first draft, you still need to color it. How can two weeks be enough?
"What, you think I'm giving you too much time?"
Wu Lingsi shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. How could she dare to refute Jenny? If she wasn't careful, Jenny would give her a few punches and kicks.
In the eyes of others, she was the assistant of Jenny, the most famous beauty painter in the world. In reality, she was just Jenny's substitute.
Jenny harrumphed. She had a pacified expression on her face. She bent down and said to Wu Ling, "This painting is very important. I want you to bring out the best quality for it. If it isn't done well, just wait for death."
Wu Ling quickly nodded her head. She couldn't wait to flip open the document, and started reading it bit by bit.
How could she not understand Jenny? If she did not do well, the result would be terrible!
"Luoluo, can you tell me why you did this today?" Bai Nianxi half-squatted in front of the sofa and asked Luoluo, who was sitting on it.
Luoluo twisted her clothes with her two little fingers, glanced at Kang Mobei at first, then lowered her head and said weakly, "Luoluo just wants Xi to draw it, Xi can draw it well too, can't she?"
Bai Nianxi sighed. It was as if Luoluo did not say anything.
He could only turn to Kang Mobei, "What about you?"
"I what?"
"You know what I'm talking about." Bai Nianxi frowned.
At that time, Luoluo suddenly ran in. If Kang Mobei really wanted to stop Luoluo, he wouldn't have given her a chance to make trouble. However, he let Luoluo go, allowing her to climb onto his head and say those words.
Didn't Luoluo's actions come from his tacit consent?
Kang Mobei smiled, but didn't say anything.
In fact, at that time, he did not agree with the proposal of the French representative to enlist Jenny, so he asked her for her opinion.
He had not expected Luoluo to rush in at that time and put forward a proposal that he was quite satisfied with. Thus, he agreed to it with ease.
Luoluo sat on the sofa and kept poking and poking with her two fingers. He did it for Mommy's sake.
Today, when Secretary Hsing sent him to class, he saw in his dad's car a plan to develop a new product that mentioned the cover.
After asking Secretary Hsing, he knew that today's meeting was about identifying the cover designer, so he hurried over to the company and recommended her to Mommy!
Originally, that very famous painting was painted by Mommy, not by that Auntie Jenny. Mommy is so pitiful, the picture was stolen, so of course he had to find an opportunity to sell his Mommy.
He wanted to help Mommy take back what she had lost!
CHAPTER 61 - AN OLD MAN WHOM I HAVE SAVED IN PASSING
Bai Nianxi finally gave up after seeing that both father and son had the attitude of not saying anything until they were beaten to death.
Forget it, since things had already come to this, Luoluo had good intentions. She decided to prepare for the competition.
Because she had to prepare for the match with Jenny, Bai Nianxi didn't go back to the studio for the next few days. Besides staying in the studio, she also went out to look for inspiration.
The scenery by the Luo Yin River was very beautiful. Bai Nianxi brought her drawing board and tools here early in the morning. She found a shade tree, set up her easel and started copying the scenery.
Bai Nianxi took advantage of the early morning to come. There weren't many people here in the early morning, so the environment was quite quiet.
As the cool breeze blew over, Bai Nianxi was so immersed in her own painting that she did not even notice that there was someone standing behind her.
When Bai Nianx
i drew the first painting, the person behind her suddenly spoke up, "I don't think you should deal with it this way."
It was an old man's voice. He didn't speak Mandarin with any particular standard, so people could hear him clearly.
Bai Nianxi was startled. She turned around and saw a man in his seventies or eighties standing behind her. His face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyebrows and beard had already turned white.
Just looking at his appearance, the old man has the straight east face, but also has the deep outline of a westerner.
It seemed familiar, as though he had seen it somewhere before.
Without waiting for Bai Nianxi to react, the old man continued, "You've taken care of things inappropriately, I feel …"
After the old man finished speaking, Bai Nianxi sketched out a scene in her mind and realized that it was indeed like that. If she did as the old man said, the entire painting would have a stronger and more agile feel, and the painting would also be more elegant!
His attitude towards the old man became respectful immediately. The old man was an expert!
Following the old man's instructions, Bai Nianxi started drawing with great care.
The old man stood behind Bai Nianxi and kept nodding his head. This child was truly talented. His perception was high and his skills were also good. He was a rare talent.
Bai Nianxi continued to draw. Not long later, a painting had already been drawn smoothly.
Turning around, he was about to ask for the old man's opinion when he realized that the old man behind him had disappeared. He used his gaze to scan the surroundings, but he still couldn't find the old man.
The sun was rising and the air was getting hotter. Bai Nianxi put away her drawing board. It was time to go back.
Suddenly, the phone in his hand rang. It was Kang Mobei's slightly depressed voice.
"Where?"
"I was outside looking for inspiration. What happened?"
"Come back, now."
Bai Nianxi was a little confused. She hung up the phone and was about to head back home.
Suddenly, a cry for help came from behind him.
"Help — help — someone fell into the water —"
It was the voice of a child.
Bai Nianxi rushed over, thinking that it was some kid who was playing by the river when he accidentally fell in.
However, he realized that the person flopping around in the river was not a child, but rather that old man!
There were two seven or five-year-olds by the river, calling out to them incessantly. Seeing that adults were rushing over, they finally felt relieved.
A child might be alright, but Bai Nianxi wasn't sure if she could save someone as an adult. She didn't think too much and dived into the river.
When he reached the old man's side, the old man was already on the verge of losing consciousness.
Bai Nianxi spent a lot of effort before finally dragging the old man onto the shore. After taking a few deep breaths, she laid the old man on the shore and crossed her hands to start cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Bai Nianxi was slightly relieved when the old man spit out a mouthful of water.
There were already quite a few people gathered by the river. Some of them enthusiastically called 120, while others stepped forward to help. The old man should be fine.
Bai Nianxi stood up and turned around to go home when she thought of Kang Mobei's phone call.
It was like a small interlude. Bai Nianxi acted as if the one who saved her just now wasn't her.
Seeing Bai Nianxi's wet clothes, Kang Mobei suppressed his anger and asked, "How did this happen?"
Bai Nianxi didn't say anything. Her gaze was fixed on the few people beside her with astonishment written all over her face.
The people from the Bai Family had actually come to this place!
"What are you guys doing here?" After a brief period of shock and astonishment, Bai Nianxi spoke coldly.
Ye Chunmei snorted, a little dissatisfied. "What, from the looks of it, you don't welcome us?" Don't forget, we are a family. "
"Family?" Bai Nianxi sneered.
They deserved to talk about a family?
She lost her mother when she was three, and not long after her mother left, not three months later, her father took another wife and made her a stepmother.
Ye Chunmei was her stepmother.
After Ye Chunmei came to the family home, Bai Nianxi didn't have a good day. A year later, Ye Chunmei gave birth to a younger brother for her.
When Bai Yuhao was born, he had become too used to his family's mannerisms, and after he dressed, he started to talk about food and clothing. Yet, at such a young age, she had already begun to quietly take care of all the household chores.
Her father worked outside to earn money while Ye Chunmei gambled and lost money at home every day. She could still remember one year when Ye Chunmei lost all her tuition fees, making her unable to attend school!
The hardships she had endured in the past few years of Bai Family made her heart ache even to this day. What right did they have to tell her that they were a family!?
"Did you ever think of me as your family?" Bai Nianxi's voice was cold and her heart was cold when she said that.
Bai Jianguo stood up from his chair in anger, and pointed at Bai Nianxi with his old patriarchal demeanor, saying, "You heartless thing! Eating my Bai Family, and using my Bai Family, can you still say such shameless words now?! "
Kang Mobei's face completely darkened. He was originally in the company, but suddenly received a call from the security guard saying that someone was causing trouble here. The person claiming to be Bai Nianxi's family member was the culprit, so he rushed over.
The information Secretary Hsing gave mentioned that the relationship between Bai Nianxi and the people from Bai Family was not good.
But from the looks of it, not only was it not good, it seemed very bad?
"Then what does grandpa mean? You want me to return the debt I owe the Bai Family for all these years? "
Bai Nianxi's mouth curved into a disdainful smile. "I do remember that five years ago, I already gave you two hundred thousand gold coins. At the price of separating our relationship, you promised that you would never come look for me again."
"A mere two hundred thousand, you want to break our blood ties?" Bai Jianguo had his hands behind his back. His greedy expression made him look extremely disgusting. Don't forget, the favor of being reared is greater than the sky, you owe us Bai Family, how can you not pay it back. "
CHAPTER 62 - CONDITION
More than a week ago, Bai Yuhao called them and told them that his leg was injured and that they should come to A City to take care of him.
When they arrived, they found that Bai Yuhao lived in the presidential suite of the five-star hotel, which was spacious and bright.
How could they not know Bai Yuhao's capabilities? The amount of money he had was definitely not earned by himself. After repeated questioning, Bai Yuhao finally revealed the story of him meeting Bai Nianxi.
Who would have thought that Bai Nianxi, who they once regarded as a burden, would now become a big shot. The male side was so generous that it cost two million yuan.
How could they let such a good money grubber slip by?
"Yuhao is your own little brother. His leg was broken by someone. Why didn't you ask them to serve him properly and even tell him to scram?"
"Didn't you give him two million?"
"Is he worth two million?"
Bai Nianxi only felt that she had nothing to say. The crack in her heart seemed to have deepened as blood oozed out from the wound that had already healed.
Heh, how laughable, all these people in front of her were actually her relatives.
But, when had she ever had family in this world?
"Then how much do you think he's worth?" Kang Mobei was at a loss for words. It was just a normal question, yet it caused people to feel a chill in their hearts.
It w
as as if he was drowning in a glacier.
Bai Jianguo swallowed his saliva. He had a hunch that this man was not someone to be trifled with.
When they first arrived, they thought that this man would at least give them some face due to his status as a member of Bai Nianxi's family. However, he had only said a few cold words that caused them to not dare to speak again.
Until Bai Nianxi arrived.
It was already a habit for them to put on airs in front of Bai Nianxi. Now that Kang Mobei had spoken again, it only made them feel as if they had fallen into an icehouse.
"As the grandson of our Bai Family, Yuhao, Yuhao, naturally cannot be measured by money." Bai Jianguo stammered his answer, clearly not confident enough.
"It's like this?" Kang Mobei lowered his head and chuckled. Then it's not worth much? "
Malicious distortion of the meaning of people, Kang Mobei is a good hand.
"How can it not be valuable!" "Ye Chunmei's brain has always been stupid. Being provoked by Kang Mobei like this made her unable to keep her mouth shut." My son is the only grandson of Bai Family, he definitely can't be compared to that damned girl Bai Nianxi! "
Oh, that's right. He had just recalled that the people from Bai Family had used 200 thousand to buy out their relationship with Bai Nianxi.
The coldness in Kang Mobei's eyes fluctuated. He raised his eyebrows slightly, "So you are selling out your grandchildren?"
This, this, what they were talking about was not this question at all, but somehow, Kang Mobei had pointed them in this weird direction with just a few words.
No matter how you said it, there was something wrong with that.
Bai Jianguo glanced at Ye Chunmei and said, "How can a grandson sell it? "This can …"
Without waiting for Bai Jianguo to finish speaking, Kang Mobei said: "She really cannot be compared to your Bai Family's grandson. It's not worth much."
She was naturally referring to Bai Nianxi. It wasn't worth much, but it was Bai Yuhao.
"The people from my Kang Family, for you to buy them off with a mere two hundred thousand, isn't that a bit too little?" Kang Mobei glanced at Bai Nianxi, who was standing at the side. He noticed that her face was slightly pale, and she was clenching her teeth tightly, as if she was filled with great disappointment and bitterness.
