Chapter 627: An Incident, You Should Feel Shame!

only lost the project but also suffered heavy losses, leading to a financial crisis and eventually bankruptcy. The elderly patriarch couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide by jumping off a build..."Let me give you a sneak peek, the top three vote-getters are Pei Shi Group's Diancui Yunzhai hairpin, Luo Shi Group's Qiong Hua Jade Pendant, and our VIC Jewelry's Golden Phoenix Auspicious Charm. Who will ultimately take the crown"

The host pretended to be mysterious.

All eyes were on her!

"Now, I'm going to reveal the top three winners! Coming in at third place is...is...is! VIC's Golden Phoenix Ornament!"

The audience applauded, but Luo Ningxi hadn't said anything yet. Su Qiao was already beside her, indignant. "This design is very good, how could it only get third place"

"Everyone's taste is different, and that's perfectly normal," Luo Ningxi said calmly.

"It's all because Shengshi Group's President Sheng has such strange aesthetics. Anyone with eyes can see that this is much better than Mu Xiyin's shabby jade!"

Su Qiao's agent had quietly approached at some point, and in a low voice warned, "Little ancestor, be careful with your words! That Mu Xiyin is the daughter-in-law chosen by Old Master Li himself! Although he didn't explicitly say who designed the hairpin, many people at this event know, of course they will vote for her!"

"Damn nepotism!"

Su Qiao cursed under her breath, then turned back to comfort Luo Ningxi, "Ningxi, don't be sad. In my heart, you are ten thousand times better than Mu Xiyin!"

Luo Ningxi kept her composure and didn't show much emotion. The key was the upcoming announcement of rankings.

"Alright, now for the moment we've all been waiting for—the winner of this year's competition! Will it be the Diancui Cloud Hairpin from Pei's Group, or the Qionghua Jade Pendant from Luo's Group"

The final showdown between these two works had everyone on the edge of their seats!

One is rumored to be designed by Li Si Shao's fiancee, Mu Xi Yin, and the other is the most beloved jewelry piece of Old Master Li...

Both have a chance of winning!

Mu Xiyin excitedly clenched her palms, focusing intently on the stage to the point that she didn't even notice the man beside her scrutinizing gaze!

"Next, I announce that the jewelry piece that received our top vote is—"

The host, drawing out the words, passionately announced amidst the cheers of the crowd!

It is a piece of jewelry from the Luo Family Group—the Qihua Jade Pendant!

"Great!!"

As soon as the words left her lips, thunderous applause erupted from the audience!

It is said that this work is the favorite of the old master of the Li family group. However, no one expected that when the old man heard the result, his face turned cold instantly. A trace of ferocity flashed in his aged and profound eyes!

Mu Xi Yin actually lost again, still in front of so many people...

"Uncle Li, it's all my fault for not being skilled enough. I can't compare to the jewelry from the Luo Group, making you lose face..."

Mu Xi's gentle eyes reflected the mist, and her voice was humble, "They must have hired a very famous original design artist."

She emphasized the word "original," as if she was deliberately saying it to the old man.

Mr. Li's gaze couldn't help but fall on Li Botong. He and Nan Hanchuan liked to frequent such circles the most, and hurriedly said, "Yinyin, this isn't your fault, who knows if Luo Ningxi used other means to vote"

……

After the show, Nan Hanchuan leaned against the railing, listening to the cheers from outside the stage. He was typing a message in the group chat for Li Bochen on his phone.

"Tsk, this former sister-in-law is really impressive. I was planning to pull some strings and get her a win, but she ended up taking first place all on her own."

@I am a lawyer: @[Windy and dashing, but clueless] This kind of activity rigging votes is illegal. You better think it through.

The dashing and handsome gentleman: 【…】

"I didn't consider that this show was all arranged by Lao Li for others, there's no reason why she shouldn't come in first."

" Did Lao Li and his ex-sister-in-law truly break up because of this event He wouldn't be willing to, would he"

@Dashing and Handsome Man: I bet 10,000 yuan, he definitely won't be willing to part with it.

Nan Hanchuan still wanted to make a passionate bet when he saw Xiao Jin rushing over with Huo Zuo, a hint of confusion flashed in his mischievous eyes, "What are you guys doing Aren't you going to watch Xiaoxixi give her acceptance speech"

Xiao Jin's face was grim. "No time to explain, we need to get to the stage control room, General Luo might be in trouble."

……

At the same time, on the stage.

"Next, we invite Ms. Luo Ningxi, the president of Luoshi Group, to the stage to receive the award and deliver a speech!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Ningxi, accompanied by countless flashes and cheers, gracefully walked onto the award ceremony stage in a long dress with an ink painting style!

Luo Ningxi's clear and beautiful eyes scanned the venue, she cleared her throat and spoke, "Everyone, I am Luo Ningxi, the president of Luoshi Group. I am very happy that Luoshi Group's jewelry can meet you today. Thank you all for your love of our original designs, especially this piece of Qionghua Jade Pendant…"

"Mr. Luo keeps saying the word 'original' as if it means something! Doesn't he feel ashamed"

Suddenly, a woman's sharp voice came abruptly from the door, instantly grabbing everyone's attention!han having to see Luo Zhiqin's disgusting face at Luo Shi Group."Thank you."Mia laughed even happier, intimately stopping Loningxi's arm."Then I'll leave right away, your colleagues are all waiting fo...
