The champion of this competition would receive not only a generous reward but also an internship opportunity with the most famous clothing brand company in China.

  This was a fatal temptation for the design students. The most famous clothing brand in China was a multinational group.

  This matter had nothing to do with her initially, but Hou Chengjue called Yun Xiangxiang to the office at noon.

  There was not only Hou Chengjue in the office but also a few mature men in suits and leather shoes, ranging from age thirty to fifty.

  Through Hou Chengjue’s introduction, Yun Xiangxiang only found out that they were the person in charge of the fashion design competition. Their purpose here was to hope that Yun Xiangxiang would become one of the judges.

  “I don’t know much about clothing. Besides, I’m too young, and I don’t have fashion foresight. I really can’t do it.” Yun Xiangxiang’s first reaction was to refuse.

  “Miss Yun, we want to use your popularity to attract more attention to the competition.”


  One of the young people in charge said to Yun Xiangxiang, “We will pay you a considerable amount of reward. Of course, talking about money is very tacky. You are not a person who is short of money. This is just our idea.

  The other thing is that the Academy of Fine Arts at Qingdao University had been questioned all the time. We hope that you, a member of Qingdao University, can encourage the Academy of Arts to strive for a good result and prove to everyone.”


  They went through multiple considerations before they decided to invite Yun Xiangxiang as one of the judges.

  Yun Xiangxiang’s identity was an actor. There were eight judges in total, and Yun Xiangxiang’s vote would not play a key role.

  It didn’t matter if Yun Xiangxiang did not know anything about the industry. She just needed to follow her heart and choose what she liked.

  “I’m sorry. I will start filming in October, and there’s a charity event in November. If you told me earlier, I could still arrange a time for it.” Yun Xiangxiang still refused.

  She was a little embarrassed. Since Hou Chengjue recommended her, the university definitely wished that Yun Xiangxiang would agree.

  Just like what the person in charge said, she could at least give some confidence to the students from the same school that joined the competition. This might affect their performance.

  The Academy of Fine Arts at Qingdao University was not bad. However, compared to other universities’ fashion design departments that would join the competition, there was still a gap between them.

  As a member of the school, she did have the responsibility to devote herself to the university’s honor, but the main thing was that she did not have time.

  Besides, this matter was also a double-edged sword. She was young and a Qingdao University’s student. It would make people think that she was not qualified to be a judge. If she made a mistake in the review, it would draw fire on herself.

  She had to put in a lot of effort to pass through everything safely……

  Yun Xiangxiang understood the organizer’s thoughts. Under normal circumstances, an actor from the entertainment industry should not be chosen for formal competition.

  Many people would not believe in the fairness of the competition once actors from the entertainment industry join. They would feel like it had no difference compared to talent competitions.

  Yun Xiangxiang was a good actor, but she was still a student at Qingdao University. If she served as a judge on behalf of Qingdao University, it would be able to use her popularity and stop those people’s mouths.

  There would be a judge from every school, and the remaining four judges were authority figures in the clothing industry.

  The university did not intend to invite professionals as judges and mainly wanted to invite young people. This was because the theme of the competition was youth.

  The clothes were focused on youth. The four professionals would professionally evaluate the works; the four non-professional young people would mainly express their preference based on the young people’s tastes.

  Yun Xiangxiang’s attitude was resolute. The few people in charge felt a little powerless. Hou Chengjue thought for a while and said, “Xiangxiang, why don’t you consider it again?”


  Yun Xiangxiang could reject those people in charge without any scruples, but she couldn’t make Hou Chengjue look bad, “Alright. I will go back and consider it seriously.”


  Hou Chengjue’s attitude once again let Yun Xiangxiang know that the university wanted her to go. It was not only the university, but even her university’s classmates hoped that she could be the representative of the university to boost morale.

  Not to mention her classmates who were already fans of her, even the alumni who usually didn’t like her, would support her in the face of such a big event.

  This made Yun Xiangxiang aware more deeply that this matter was not a personal matter. Although she felt that she had little effect, many people had high expectations of her.

  If she refused, she might not be able to face these classmates and teachers straightforwardly in the future.

  She shifted her responsibility when the university needed her and went to film the films she liked. Things like this were unreasonable.

  “Don’t worry and follow your heart if you want to go. It doesn’t matter if you go or not; just leave the rest to me.” Song Mian’s fingertips gently stroked her eyebrows.

  “I want to go, but I’m afraid that I can’t do it well.” It didn’t matter if she got a bit tired. Yun Xiangxiang did not mind.

  The competition’s preliminary round would take place in October, while the semi-finals would take place in November. The finals would most likely be in December.

  How could a set of clothes be designed in a few days? There were three rounds. There won’t be any live broadcast for the preliminary round, but it would be broadcasted live for the semi-finals and finals. It would be fine for her to take two days’ leave off at that time, but the main reason was that she did not have the capability.

  “I looked at the content of the competition. The four of you judges representing the university do not need to have the ability. You all just need to tell them what you like without being ashamed.”


  Song Mian helped Yun Xiangxiang to analyze, “I know you want to take everything seriously, but some people do not require you to be serious for some things. They need you to be frank.”


  “So, you also want me to go, right?” Yun Xiangxiang looked at Song Mian.

  “I only want you to follow your heart.” Song Mian smiled lightly, “The court session for Deng Yang’s case had opened, but there is new evidence, and the court will hold a second court session.”


  “New evidence?” Yun Xiangxiang was distracted immediately.

  “Ren Yulin is a talented person. If he wants, he can be admitted to Song’s legal advisory team.” Song Mian said with a smile.

  Yun Xiangxiang rarely heard Song Mian praise a person, and he was willing to use Ren Yulin. This was not for her sake.

  “Did he find new evidence?” Yun Xiangxiang felt that this was the only possibility.

  “En. He discovered Zhang Fengde practiced usury.”


  Zhang Fengde’s work was flawless. His money did not go to his account or even the accounts of relatives and friends. He was also rich, and even Song Mian’s people did not doubt this.

  Ren Yulin was an attentive person. He found clues based on Zhang Fengde’s bribe to Mrs. Fan, and through the money transferred to Mrs. Fan’s relatives and friends’ accounts from more than a dozen different channels, he uncovered another covert line of Zhang Fengde.

  “No wonder Zhang Fengde said to me so arrogantly that he was not short of money!”


  That was what he meant!

  Yun Xiangxiang was also curious about Ren Yulin at this moment. It was no wonder Li Xiangling acknowledged him so much.
