Chapter 55: Qiao Lan Tears Off He Miao’s Fig Leaf

Qiao Yue’s eyes were red with anger: “What slander? You didn’t trip me, did I fall here myself?”

Qiao Lan said meaningfully: “Qiao Yue, everyone in Haishi knows you like to throw dirty water on me?”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Qiao Yue and Qiao Lan were mortal enemies.

She was not very capable and loved to oppose Qiao Lan, always humiliating herself, they were used to it.

Qiao Lan paused and said, “Everyone’s eyes are sharp, my skirt is not enough to support me to trip anyone.”

Qiao Lan’s dress was a fishtail skirt, making it very difficult to trip someone with her foot.

Qiao Yue was so angry she almost rolled her eyes.

She couldn’t tell everyone that she wanted to trip Qiao Lan, but ended up getting tripped by Qiao Lan instead, could she?

If she told the truth, they would probably think she deserved it.

Qiao Yue thought of something and said arrogantly: “Qiao Lan, your crying days are coming!”

She fantasized every day about Qiao Lan being kicked out of Qiao Corporation, she must be very miserable, how satisfying!

She felt excited just thinking about it.

Qiao Lan hummed: “Same to you.”

Qiao Zhenyuan noticed the commotion and hurried over, supporting Qiao Yue and reprimanding her in a low voice: “Can’t you give me some face?”

Qiao Yue didn’t get any comfort, but was reprimanded instead, her eyes were red with grievance.

Qiao Zhenyuan shook his head helplessly and looked at Qiao Lan: “Lanlan, your sister is young and doesn’t understand, don’t take it to heart.”

Qiao Lan rolled her eyes speechlessly: “She’s not that young, I’m just too lazy to argue with idiots, otherwise it would make me look stupid too.”

Her words were merciless, Qiao Zhenyuan and Qiao Yue’s father and daughter froze.

A glimmer of darkness flashed in Qiao Zhenyuan’s eyes.

Qiao Lan was too presumptuous.

He had originally planned to give Qiao Lan a casual position, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Qiao Zhenyuan suppressed his anger: “He Miao will be here soon, let’s not make a fool of ourselves.”

Qiao Lan smiled without saying anything.

How many jokes had Qiao Zhenyuan and his daughter made?

Qiao Zhenyuan understood Qiao Lan’s smile, he was immediately ashamed and angry, but said with a smile: “He Miao is completely different from the Lan you invited, from discussing cooperation to signing the contract, she did it all herself, and she was very approachable.”

“Unlike Lan, she never showed her face from beginning to end, I don’t even know if the person who signed the contract with Qiao Corporation was her.”

Qiao Lan narrowed her eyes dangerously.

Qiao Zhenyuan’s stupidity would never change, he would reveal his true nature with just a few words.

Qiao Lan said calmly: “Are He Miao and Lan comparable? You compare her to Lan, it’s too insulting.”

One is a hall-level designer, the other is a habitual plagiarist, Qiao Zhenyuan compares them, is he bored with his life?

“If it wasn’t Lan who signed the contract with Qiao Corporation, she would have come knocking.”

Every season’s new products of Qiao Corporation were designed by her, naturally they were also advertised in her name.

No matter how mysterious or reclusive Lan was, she couldn’t ignore it.

Everyone looked at Qiao Zhenyuan with disgust.

They thought he had become smarter, but he was still a fool at heart.

Qiao Zhenyuan also realized he had spoken out of turn.

Just as he was at a loss and wanted to ask Tang Hongwen for help, a voice rescued him.

“He Miao is here.”

Qiao Zhenyuan looked at Qiao Lan triumphantly and walked quickly towards the door.

He didn’t need to argue with Qiao Lan for the moment, he would let the sales figures speak for themselves.

Qiao Lan was also curious to see what kind of person He Miao was, who pretended to be Lan’s apprentice.

Qiao Lan saw a woman in her thirties wearing a modified cheongsam slowly walking towards her from afar.

A beautiful ink painting was dyed on the skirt, slowly blooming as she walked.

The stylish dress made her the center of attention.

Many wealthy ladies had longing in their eyes.

They liked the dress on He Miao.

Qiao Lan narrowed her eyes.

If she remembered correctly, the style of the dress He Miao was wearing was exactly the same as the new style released by Lan at last year’s spring fashion show.

The only difference was the material and style of the dress.

She had to admit that He Miao understood the psychology of the masses very well, she copied the essence and added her own elements, turning the design into her own.

Qiao Zhenyuan and He Miao walked up to her together.

He Miao smiled with narrowed eyes: “You must be Qiao Lan, the CEO, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

He Miao’s slender, raised eyebrows and her smiling eyes made people uncomfortable.

Qiao Lan pursed her lips: “I’ve heard about you too.”

If it wasn’t for that clerk, if it wasn’t for Qiao Zhenyuan, she might never have come into contact with someone like He Miao.

He Miao smiled and said: “I’ve already signed a contract with Qiao Corporation, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to get along in the future.”

She remembered something and said: “I heard that you are a graduate of fashion design, maybe we’ll have a lot to talk about.”

“Not necessarily.”

What did she have to talk about with a plagiarist?

He Miao noticed Qiao Lan’s dislike for her, she was unhappy in her heart, but didn’t show it.

She didn’t need to argue with someone who was about to be kicked out of Qiao Corporation.

He Miao and Qiao Zhenyuan went on stage to sign the contract.

Qiao Zhenyuan wanted the entire city to witness Qiao Corporation’s cooperation with He Miao.

Qiao Lan kindly reminded: “Chairman Qiao, I advise you not to be too high-profile.”

The more high-profile he is now, the more painful it will be when he is slapped in the face later.

Qiao Zhenyuan naturally interpreted it as Qiao Lan being jealous, he said meaningfully: “Lanlan, if you had gotten the renewal with Lan, I would have been this high-profile too.”

He had negotiated the cooperation between Qiao Corporation and He Miao, he wanted to announce it to the world.

Qiao Lan snorted and turned to He Miao: “I heard you’re Lan’s apprentice?”

He Miao’s eyes flickered, she didn’t directly admit it: “When I first entered the industry, I stayed at her studio for a while, she had the intention of taking me as her apprentice.”

In fact, she never saw Lan.

She stayed at her studio for more than half a year, the only person she interacted with every day was the assistant, Lan never appeared, she even doubted if she existed.

“Oh.”

Qiao Lan understood, she asked leisurely: “She had the intention of taking you as her apprentice, but she didn’t, right?”

Qiao Lan’s words seemed to tear off He Miao’s fig leaf layer by layer, seeing everyone around looking at them, she was angry and questioned: “What do you mean, CEO Qiao, don’t you want me to cooperate with Qiao Corporation?”

Qiao Zhenyuan heard the second half of the sentence and jumped up to reprimand: “Qiao Lan, you can not help Qiao Corporation, but can you stop pulling Qiao Corporation’s leg?”

Qiao Yue also chimed in: “That’s right, today is the day Dad and He Miao sign the contract, you’re disrupting things here, what are your intentions? Are you so envious of my Dad?”

Everyone also looked at Qiao Lan with strange eyes, after all, the opportunity to cooperate with He Miao was rare.
