Chapter 167: Identity Exposed Again

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Chengzhou who was very sharp and immediately noticed the change in Gu Mang’s aura. He looked at her icy cold silhouette. His voice was deep and magnetic as he said, “What’s the matter?”

Gu Mang didn’t reply, her black eyes staring at the stage. Her beautiful face of hers was dark and icy. The angled corner of her eyes seemed disagreeable as anger covered her face.

Lu Chengzhou looked in the direction of her gaze. It was a top-notch design. It was so beautiful but it seemed like it was missing something.

...

In the first row of the audience seats.

Tao Jing recovered from her awe and looked at Qi Songyan. She said slowly in a curious tone, “You said that this is your student, Zhou Xintang’s work?”

Qi Songyan was so captivated by Zhou Xintang’s work that she thought it would shock the imaginations of the great designers within the industry. She seemed oblivious to Tao Jing’s odd behavior.

She nodded, unable to stop herself from smiling. “I heard that the President went to the first round of screening that day. Didn’t you come across it there?”

“I saw it,” Tao Jing said mildly. “The work is indeed very good.”

Qi Songyan was affirmed and felt even more proud. “Xintang is truly an excellent student. Her talent in design is outstanding. At such a young age she has already shown so much talent. In the future, after she graduates from the Imperial School of Design, she will probably become an influential designer in the international designer organizations.”

“It seems that the gala has again been dominated by the experimental high school.” Someone beside him interjected with a laugh. “Mr. Qi has really taken in a good student.”

Qi Songyan smiled humbly. “She works very hard herself.”

Tao Jing glanced at him coldly and stood up.

Seeing Tao Jing stand up, Principal Fu was stunned for a moment. “President Tao, what’s wrong?”

Tao Jing asked, “Principal Fu, do you know where Gu Mang is?”

Principal Fu pointed to the left. “She’s over in the corner.”

Tao Jing nodded in thanks before turning to look for Gu Mang.

Gu Mang glared at Zhou Xintang on the stage, her eyes cold and sinisterly red. The ambiguous curve at the corner of her lips seemed proud and strong-willed. She was exuding a stifling aura.

When Tao Jing walked over to Gu Mang, he asked seriously, “Was it you who designed that dress?”

Hearing this, Lu Chengzhou was startled. His gaze was deep as he stared at the girl. With dazed expressions, Qin Fang and the others looked at Tao Jing before turning to look at Gu Mang. What was Tao Jing talking about?!

He wanted to know if the dress was designed by Gu Mang?! Gu Mang designed clothes?!

Gu Mang crossed her legs and slumped back in her seat, her arms on the armrests with her wrists hanging casually as she said, “Yeah, I designed it.”

The few guys beside her were all dumbfounded. They thought that the big boss was already amazing with her medical skills and talented choreography. She had another skill?!

Tao Jing pursed his lips. “I saw this design in the designer competition. I thought it was you who submitted it so I didn’t ask about it.”

“I wasn’t interested,” Gu Mang said curtly, her chin tucked in slightly as she watched how smug Zhou Xintang looked on stage.

Tao Jing took a huge blow to his ego. The designer association that he managed was worshiped by others like a shrine but to Gu Mang it was not even worth joining.

He took a deep breath. “How did your design end up with Zhou Xintang?”

Gu Mang looked down and thought for a few seconds, but she couldn’t figure it out.

Her expression was bland and her tone was chilly. “I don’t know. I wasn’t happy with the draft so I just tossed it.”
