"Mm. So, Rosanne would be keeping a good look at Ning Hua's and my brother's work. Apart from her, the other judges would also prefer my brother's new style more."
"Why?"
"My brother's design used to be confined and timid because that's how he was like in the past. The new him isn't restrained like before, and neither are his designs."
Mo Xi spoke with confidence while she sat in her seat with Valerie and the rest of the guards guarding her room.
"Don't you think that it would be more fun to make things bigger?"
"You mean, letting Ning Hua get into the International Fas.h.i.+on Compet.i.tion?" Mo Xi asked.
"Yeap."
"It would be more fun and exciting to see him fall from a higher place, but that would also ruin our country's reputation."
"That's true."
"However, that being said, we can always let him get to the finals, and you know, the finals would be streamed live internationally."
"Pfft. Wouldn't that still make Country X lose their face?"
"Hmm. At least he didn't go all the way to other countries and lose face there, right?"
"That's true. But wouldn't people blame Blue Diamond Entertainment or you for not revealing the truth earlier?"
Mo Xi let out a soft laugh.
"I know what that means," Valerie looked at Mo Xi with a smile that said, 'I know what you are thinking'.
"I had already told Rosanne before I left that we would reveal the truth during the finals. I would for any damage and loss incurred by the college and her company. Also, people would probably thank us for revealing the truth because people are paying to buy fake things since those designs weren't produced by Ning Hua. Apart from that, our dear artists, Wen Ting Ting and Lin Lu, would be getting their revenge as well."
"As for blaming Blue Diamond Entertainment… Hmmm… Blue Diamond Entertainment has always been well known for face slapping, and we always wait for the right moment. Everyone is used to our way of doing things. That's why they don't bother to jump to conclusions when they see negative news regarding us anymore. They knew that the longer we take to give a response to them, the bigger the face slap would be."
Valerie laughed, "You and your husband are really the perfect match. Right now, Jing Corporation is being pressured from all around, but he didn't give any response because he is planning something big, and you are in it together."
Mo Xi smiled sweetly upon the mention of Jing Mo Chen, "Of course. We belong to each other."
"What about Rise and your brother? Wouldn't people blame them?"
"That's even easier. Would you have believed that Ning Hua stole my brother's work if you didn't know me, and you are just a normal citizen?"
"No. After all, Ning Hua's father is a famous designer in the fas.h.i.+on industry, and Ning's Fas.h.i.+on is huge in the fas.h.i.+on industry as well. Moreover, your brother's style changed drastically from the past."
"That's right. Most people wouldn't believe it. So, the only way to let people believe my brother would be to take things slow. He needs to build Rise and let it have a firm standing in the fas.h.i.+on industry before letting others know about the fact that Ning Hua was stealing his works. Only when Rise has true supporters would he have the confidence and the bargaining ch.i.p.s to make people believe him. If he had just told people that Ning Hua stole his work, no one would believe him even with the evidence placed out in front of them."
Valerie thought for a moment and said, "Just like the case with Phoenix."
Mo Xi had invited Valerie over to watch Phoenix's first performance, which was the one when they cleared their names because Mo Xi knew that Valerie loved to fangirl. It was also because Valerie was one of the people that helped with the live streaming of Phoenix's performance. Besides, Phoenix had even gone to Country N for a concert after they cleared their names. That was why Valerie knew them well.
"That's right. So, at the end of the day, no one would blame them."
"Smart."
"When are you going to find your Mr. Right?" Mo Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Valerie with a cheeky face.
Vincent, who was standing near the door, moved a little when he heard Mo Xi's question.
Valerie rolled her eyes immediately when she heard Mo Xi's words, "Can't I be alone forever?"
Vincent let out a very soft sigh, so no one could hear it.
Of course, with the exception of Mo Xi.
Mo Xi let out a soft chuckle when she heard Vincent sighing.
"Are you saying that I am not a human? What am I to you?" Mo Xi joked.
Valerie rolled her eyes once again, "Would you even care about me after everything ends? Your mind would only be on your husband and your child."
"I am not that heartless. Even though Mo Chen got you and Cayden out, haven't I been the one that cared about the four of you the most? We met when Ellington met Cayden by accident, and that was before I even met my husband again."
Although Mo Xi had met Valerie and Cayden years ago, they only got very close during the recent months. Hence, their friends.h.i.+p only started recently. Before that, Mo Xi just saw them as people that she cared for and must protect.
Furthermore, Mo Xi's character had also turned a little bit cheekier after she gave birth, perhaps because she was a mother, she was a little more playful. That was why Valerie and the others started to joke with Mo Xi, unlike before when they only talked about work matters.
Valerie laughed and gave Mo Xi a big hug, "Yes. Yes. You are the best."
"Of course. Do you only realize that now? Like after so many years of knowing each other?"
