Chapter 60
The most unnerving part was clearly stated on the itinerary.
The ten ready-to-wear outfits required in the semifinals were five male outfits and five female outfits.
Luo Chenxi almost cursed aloud when she saw the statement. She was genuinely quite gifted in fashion design but was only limited to womenswear. On the other hand, she was completely untalented in the designing of menswear.
When she had still been studying in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Country Y, she would always come last in her class whenever she needed to design menswear. Had it not been for her full score in womenswear, perhaps she would have dropped out from the class due to her poor performance. Unfortunately, there had been no need to wait until that incident happened before she was…
Suddenly, her phone rang. She took a glance and saw that it was an unknown number.
“Cutie from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, do you still remember me?”
Luo Chenxi felt chills run down her spine as soon as she heard the jestful voice on the other end of the line. “C-chief Sheng! How did you get my number?”
“It’s written there on your information form. How would that be difficult for me to find out?”
“Uh, you’re right…”
“Have you received the itinerary? Have you thought about which design you’re going to use?”
Luo Chenxi became energized as soon as she heard Sheng Yu’s question. She could not refrain from complaining. “Chief Sheng, why is the itinerary for this year’s competition different? I clearly recall that the designers in the previous competitions were given the choice of either menswear or womenswear in the past. Why do we have to do both this time?”
Sheng Yu answered slowly, “Oh, I changed the rules.”
“Huh? Why did you do that? That doesn’t make sense!” she expressed her objection.
“It’s simple. That’s because among the participants this year, some people’s portfolios only consist of womenswear. I think that’s irritating. A real designer should be able to master the production of different outfits. How is it justifiable if a designer can’t design menswear? Am I right?” Sheng Yu’s tone of speech sounded like he was asking for a beating.
“Right…” Right my *ss!
If Sheng Yu had been there with her, Luo Chenxi would have wanted to send him to heaven on the spot.
Sheng Yu had never even seen the portfolios of the other participants, so how would he have known that the others were designing menswear or womenswear? He only saw hers!
Thus, he had especially changed the rule with the purpose of making her suffer!
“Anyhow, I look forward to your performance.” Sheng Yu chuckled proudly before he hung up.
“You’re a devil. Sheng Yu is a devil!” Luo Chenxi felt like weeping but had no tears. She felt depressed for a long while before she forced herself to bounce back.
That was the rule of the competition and she could not possibly change it anymore.
“It’s just a few sets of menswear, right? I can get it done for sure!” Luo Chenxi clenched her fists.
She took out a sketchbook and sat in the corner of the balcony in the master bedroom before she began to sketch attentively.
What a waste that she had held such high hopes, but the reality turned out to be so disappointing!
It was her weakness, so it remained to her weakness regardless.
The entire morning passed and the afternoon flew by as well.
By nightfall, Luo Chenxi still had not managed to produce a satisfactory menswear design at all. She went berserk and the whole floor was covered in scrunched-up sketch papers.
The sky got darker and darker, but she failed to notice that because she was facing the laptop.
The only thought in her mind was to draw the sketch conscientiously.
Meanwhile, the door of the master bedroom was opened. Mu Yichen walked into the room with long strides and a tensed expression. He removed his tie and tossed it onto the bed.
The master bedroom was not lit, so it was very obvious that his namesake wife had yet to come home.
“That d*mned woman! I warned her two days ago, yet she has the audacity to stay out until so late and not come home!” Mu Yichen was furious. “Must I head out and capture her every day?”
Yesterday, he especially made the trip to pick Luo Chenxi up before both of them went home together afterward. However, he had not picked her up today. Did the wicked woman disappear again?
“If you don’t want to come home, don’t come back then! Don’t think that I’m going to pick you up!”
He raised his hands and removed the buttons on his shirt gradually. He took his shirt off and tossed it onto the ground. Then, he stretched out his hands to remove his belt.
He was halfway through when his brows suddenly furrowed for a moment. He glanced toward the balcony that was shielded by the curtains.
It seemed like someone was there!
