The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 434 - Chapter 434 0432 is a very important matter

Chapter 434: 0432 is a very important matter Chapter 434: 0432 is a very important matter Su Ran: “Is there a problem?”

“There’s a problem, of course, there’s a problem. You, a champion of six consecutive terms, are telling me that you want to participate in the preliminary round? Are you not taking your title seriously enough? You could go straight to the finals, so why bother with this unnecessary step?”

“I…”

“Do you have any idea how many people covet your position every year? Can’t you show some respect for this supreme honor? Not once have you shown your face, let alone asking me, with such a powerful backer, to handle such trivial matters. Can’t you aim a little higher?”

Su Ran: “…”

“Others who make it to the finals want the whole world to know, but you didn’t even show up to receive your trophies. Do you have any complaints about us, the organizers? Also, when are you coming to pick up your trophies?”

Gael was thrown into a fit of excitement and agitation because of Su Ran’s comment.

He really couldn’t understand why the World Designer Championship title, such a prestigious honor, seemed so insignificant in her eyes.

Every year, so many people fight tooth and nail for this award, but this person didn’t show her face, and even the trophy seemed too much of a bother to collect.

Was she inherently indifferent to money and fame, or was she just playing around?

After venting his frustrations, Gael realized that Su Ran hadn’t said a word and spoke again.

“Say something, why are you silent?”

Su Ran rolled her eyes silently, “Have you given me a chance to speak?”

Gael: “…Then speak, what do you want to say?”

Su Ran paused for two seconds, “Actually… I don’t really have anything to say.”

Gael: “…”

So he’d said all that for nothing!

What a headache!

“Ran, tell me honestly, does our competition really hold no appeal for you at all?”

Su Ran hesitated, unsure if her honesty would hurt his pride.

After a long pause.

“It’s…okay.”

Upon hearing this, Gael instantly relaxed.

“Good, I’ll take care of it for you right away, it’s just a preliminary round, right?”

“Thank you!”

“There’s no need for thanks between us. I’ll be waiting for you in Country Y.”

“Sure!”

“Ran, promise me that you’ll show up for the award ceremony this year. You’ve missed six ceremonies already.”

“I’ll go.”

After hanging up, Su Ran leaned back in her chair, her brain whirring rapidly as a chill creased her brows.

–

The Su Family.

In Su Xinyan’s study.

The desk, the floor, the trash can, all were filled with crumpled sheets of paper.

Each piece bore the rough outline of a design, but the overall form remained elusive.

Su Xinyan’s eyes were slightly reddened, her hair a bit disheveled. She threw the colored pencil she was holding aside and crumpled the design on her desk, tossing it into the trash can.

Despite her confident declarations to Tan Lirong, time had passed, and she was still without a clue.

This year’s competition theme was “Encounter,” which had no stringent requirements. One simply needed to match the theme and let creativity flow.

Let creativity flow, huh?

Su Xinyan clenched her teeth, pulled out a new sheet of paper, and started sketching with her colored pencils once more.

Two minutes later, the design was crumpled into a ball again.

“Damn it.”

She swept the contents of the desk onto the floor in one swift motion, sitting back in defeat.

Eventually.

She opened a drawer and took out several design drafts.

If Su Ran were there, she would notice that the designs in Su Xinyan’s hands were identical to some in the file folder Su Zhongyuan had given her.

They were incomplete, but they were good designs.

As Su Xinyan looked at the signature on the drafts, there was no joy in her heart, only deep envy and resentment.

Why should she?

Why should Su Ran always be one step ahead of her in everything?

Background, looks, learning, talent, methods–she was superior in every aspect.

She was clearly a despised and worthless person, so why should she be above her?

If she wanted to compete with her in everything, then Su Xinyan would grant her wish and destroy that wretch!

After work, Su Ran and Fu Qiyuan returned to Platinum Lanting one after another.

Aunt Sun had already prepared dinner, and after washing their hands, the two sat down to start eating.

In the middle of the meal.

“The preliminary round is about to start, do you need me to do anything?”

Fu Qiyuan suddenly asked as he watched her.

Su Ran instinctively wanted to shake her head, but looking at the man opposite her, serious in demeanor, she thought about it.

“I do.”

A touch of warm amusement flashed in Fu Qiyuan’s dark eyes, and his magnetic, deep voice carried a clear sense of pleasure.

He had certainly noticed her expression, but it was good that she had such awareness.

“What do you need me to do?”

Looking at him with a serious face, Su Ran said, “Somethimg very important, and you’re the only one who can do it.”

Fu Qiyuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

“What is it?”

Su Ran: “Cheer for me.”

He paused, then suddenly chuckled.

“Is this what you consider very important?”

Su Ran frowned, looking at him.

“Mhm, it’s very important, extremely important.”

Fu Qiyuan caught her gaze, his lips slightly curving, and after a moment, he rose from his seat and approached her.

Su Ran looked up, puzzled, her angle just right.

The man leaned down and kissed her forehead, his thin lips drawing near her ear, his warm breath wafting across her neck.

“Good luck.”

Su Ran: “…”

His usually deep voice, now filled with endless teasing and huskiness, electrified Su Ran, making her spine tingle in an instant!

She wanted his support, not his seduction!

That voice was truly lethal.

Two days later.

The International Designer Competition–Hua Country’s Top 20 Preliminary Contest officially began.

As a major event in the fashion industry, the competition was held at the International Convention and Exhibition Center.

From a week ago, with the start of the online ranking events, everyone’s attention was focused on this competition.

In the days of eager anticipation, the day finally arrived.

Fashion design has always been one of the hottest areas in the fashion circle and the thing that all girls pay the most attention to.

The top twenty in the country determined the standing of Hua Country in the world of fashion, and the level of attention was extraordinary.

Reporters had been waiting at the doors of the Convention Center early, looking for the perfect shot.

The competition venue was packed.

Being able to step onto an international stage is a rare opportunity, so everyone who had studied fashion design was there.

And as a finalist once hailed as the most talented designer of Hua Country, Su Xinyan today was the most sought-after presence.

Of course, there were also many who wished to network with her.

“Xinyan, you look beautiful today.”

“Yes! You’re absolutely glowing, Xinyan must be very confident about today’s contest.”

“Of course, Xinyan has been on the international stage before, how could a small preliminary contest worry her.”

Su Xinyan smiled slightly, her face a picture of modesty and peace.

“Everyone, do your best. We have many talented designers in our country. Don’t let my relaxed appearance fool you; I’m actually very nervous inside. I simply have a bit more competition experience than you.”
