Chapter 422 - Wrong Materials
Chapter 422: Wrong Materials
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xi was slightly surprised as well. She did not expect that someone would dare to destroy the materials at the competition venue. If they were caught, it would not be as simple as revoking their qualifications to participate in the competition. It would be very difficult for them to gain a foothold in the
design world in the future.
Everyone present was a famous designer. Of course, they would not be angry, but the assistants were all very angry. The atmosphere in the materials section was very awkward.
After Qiao Xi entered, she saw a destroyed Gray Spirit Pearl on the table.
The Gray Spirit Pearl and the Spirit Jade Pearl looked very similar, but the colors revealed under the illumination of the light were completely different. Qiao Xi did not choose the Gray Spirit Pearl, but she did not understand why someone would destroy it.
Qiao Xi ignored it and went straight to collect her materials, but there was nothing there. She frowned and walked in front of the staff. “May I ask where the Spirit Jade Pearl I reserved is?”
Gu Yao said that he was the first to reserve the materials, but now that they were gone, it meant that someone had secretly taken away her materials.
The staff member’s expression was ugly. He did not have the time to care where a newcomer’s materials went. The most important thing now was to find out who destroyed the Gray Spirit Pearl.
An older staff member at the side hurriedly reminded, saying, “The president of ZR is here too. It won’t look good if something happens. Let’s solve Qiao Xi’s problem first before finding out who destroyed the materials.”
At this moment, Chen Hao walked over.
After checking the surveillance footage, the staff said with certainty, “The last Spirit Jade Pearl was taken by Mr. Chen Hao.”
Everyone’s gazes instantly landed on Chen Hao. In the lounge behind the materials room, the president of ZR slowly looked up.
Qiao Xi’s eyes were deep. “Mr. Chen Hao, according to the rules of the competition, you have to take your own materials. May I ask if you also need Spirit Jade Pearl? I remember that your work mainly consists of dark colors, so you shouldn’t need such a shiny pearl. If so, why did you take the Spirit Jade
Pearl that you don’t need?”
The atmosphere became awkward, and everyone looked at Chen Hao in confusion.
Today’s competition was full of twists and turns. The materials were destroyed, and someone took someone else’s Spirit Jade Pearls. When these two things were added together, the competition’s organizers looked troubled. “Mr. Chen, please explain why you took the Spirit Jade Pearl.”
Li Xing‘er’s face was filled with anger. “I’m guessing that Mr. Chen didn’t want to use the pearls for his own work but took them for Yao Mengqing! Did Yao Mengging reserve Spirit Jade Pearl as well? I don’t think so. Then why did you take someone else’s things?”
Gu Yao suddenly remembered that when he was reserving the materials, Yao Mengqing had asked him to make the first pick. At that time, he had already felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, Yao Mengging walked in and asked gently, “What happened? Mr. Chen, why are you here? Everyone… What’s going on?”
Gu Yao’s eyes darkened. “Yao Mengqing, you asked Chen Hao to get the materials for you, right?”
Yao Mengging looked innocent. “Yes, what’s wrong?”
“But the material you reserved is a Gray Spirit Pearl. Why did you let Chen Hao take Qiao Xi’s Spirit Jade Pearl? Have you already used the materials?”
One could hear a pin drop.
Everyone’s burning gaze landed on Yao Mengqing.
Yao Mengging blinked innocently, her eyes filled with confusion. Coupled with her pale face, she looked very ignorant. It made one’s heart ache.
“The material I reserved is indeed a Gray Spirit Pearl. I asked Mr. Chen to help me get it. This…”
Yao Mengging paused for a moment, then suddenly widened her eyes. Her voice trembled slightly. “Could it be that Mr. Chen took the wrong materials? You gave Xi Xi’s materials to me? Our materials look similar, so it’s normal to mistake them, but… I’ve already used the pearl. This… What should I do?!”
Yao Mengqing looked troubled. Her eyes turned red unconsciously, and she looked pitiful. “Xi Xi, I didn’t know that those were your materials. I’m sorry, I… It’s my fault. I hope you can forgive me…”
Everyone was stunned. The person in charge also looked embarrassed.
They had held so many competitions before, but this was the first time they encountered such a situation. The designer had taken the wrong materials. This kind of thing should not have happened. This was because the basic skills a designer should have were not just the ability to design but to be able to
differentiate materials.. If one could not differentiate the materials, what right did they have to be a designer?
