Chapter 170 The Eve of the Competition
"Hoo~"
In the office, Shen Ling rubbed his sore neck and gently beat his waist, legs and shoulders with both hands to relieve the pain he felt due to sitting for a long time.
"It's been really hard on you these past two days."
After looking at it, Xie Yuan finally looked up from the document and let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's okay, no matter how hard you work, it can't compare to the moment of accomplishment when the design is finally completed."
Shen Ling held in his hand the design drawing he had worked so hard to draw and sighed with relief.
“I can’t imagine that my design dream has been realized so hastily.”
"Are you satisfied just by drawing a design? Your dream is too easy to realize."
Xie Yuan shook his head in amusement and couldn't help but make fun of her.
"The level is limited. I am very satisfied to be able to reach this level now. As for which program he can go to next, it's up to you, right?"
Shen Ling was not willing to be outdone.
"Yes, after Miss Shen said this, I have to risk my life to let him come back in first place."
Xie Yu'an smiled gently, with his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly raised between frowns and smiles, carrying an intoxicating aura.
Shen Ling couldn't help but be a little shaken. When he realized that he was confused by this monster, he couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.
Really, what is a man doing who looks so gorgeous?
Xie Yu'an didn't know the slander in Shen Ling's heart and smiled slightly.
He took the design drawing from Shen Ling's hand that had taken two people a long time to work on, turned it over and over, and couldn't put it down.
He kept flipping through every detail on the drawing and scrutinizing it carefully.
Sometimes he would rub it gently with his fingers. As he rubbed it with his fingers, he gently closed his eyes, as if he was feeling the soul on the design with his heart.
"You look like this. If you don't know better, you'd think you've encountered some rare treasure."
Shen Ling looked at Xie Yuan's intoxicated look and couldn't help but laugh at him in a dumbfounded way.
"Hey, you are still junior and don't understand this feeling at all."
Xie Yuan shook his head and mocked Shen Ling mercilessly.
"It seems you know a lot about it?"
"That's natural. Every designer should have a love from the soul for the works he designs."
"He is yourself in another world, the sublimation of your soul, the sustenance of your emotions, and your lifelong beliefs and ideals."
“When you complete a design that can shock your soul, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction cannot be weighed and described by money and words.”
As he said that, Xie Yuan seemed to have reached that mysterious state, and couldn't help but close his eyes with an intoxicated look on his face.
Shen Ling was thoughtful,
"So, is this what it looks like when you actually draw your own work?"
"When you draw more in the future, you will understand this feeling."
Xie Yuan smiled slightly.
"Hmm...Okay, then I will draw more in the future."
"Well, the design competition is about to start tomorrow, are you nervous?"
Xie Yuan asked with a warm smile on his lips and narrowed his eyes.
"Nervous? Why would you ask such a question?"
Shen Ling asked instead without answering.
"Is it possible that you are actually nervous now?"
While talking about Shen Ling, he seemed to think of something funny and chuckled.
Faced with Shen Ling's teasing, Xie Yu'an was not annoyed. He still had a smile on his face and admitted it openly.
"Yeah, I'm nervous. If I'm the only one competing today, I naturally have nothing to fear."
"But this time the meaning of the competition is different. This is the first time that you and I have collaborated to design a work together, and it is also the first time that you have participated in a design competition as a designer. If our work can win the ranking, it will be great for you. It’s a good encouragement to both of us.”
Xie Yuan spoke eloquently, and Shen Ling nodded gently while listening, deeply agreeing with what he said.
"It doesn't matter. Don't be nervous. It doesn't matter even if you don't get the ranking."
"However, our work combines the strengths of both of us, and it took us so long to work hard. I don't believe he will not get the ranking."
Shen Ling's palm-sized face was full of confidence, and his face was full of energy.
Seeing the high-spirited look of the girl in front of him, Xie Yuan suddenly felt a little dazed, and he didn't know what he suddenly remembered.
After a moment, he smiled and blinked, obviously bringing his thoughts back to his mind.
"Yes, we must have confidence in our design works. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in yourself, right?"
"Well...then I'll take your word for it and hope that our work will get good results tomorrow."
"Let's go. I've really worked hard for you these past few days. Thank you very much for working overtime with me to make this design."
"I'm treating you tonight. You can order whatever you want."
"Really? So generous?"
"Is it okay to invite Miss Shen to dinner without being generous?"
Xie Yuan asked back with a smile.
"Hahaha, let's go then."
As soon as Shen Ling stood up, he seemed to remember something again.
She held up the design drawing in her hand and shook it at Xie Yuan,
"Where should I put this picture?"
Xie Yuan paused slightly,
"You have to come to the company to pick up things tomorrow morning."
"right."
"Then just lock the design drawings in my office."
"So that we don't have to worry about him while eating, lest he bump into it and lose it."
Shen Ling thought for a while and felt that it made sense.
So Shen Ling nodded slightly, sealed the design drawing in an envelope and put it in the drawer.
Then after locking the office door securely, the two people walked out with a smile.
After a long time, until Shen Ling's figure completely disappeared, the sound of high heels could no longer be heard.
A slender figure emerged from another corner. She looked at Shen Ling's retreating back with a complex expression for a long time.
After standing for a long time, she seemed to have finally made up her mind. She gently squeezed her fist hanging by her side and encouraged herself secretly.
Then he took out a key like a magic trick and opened the office door neatly.
Drawers, cabinets, desks, folders, anywhere that could attract attention, she didn't miss any of them and rummaged through them carefully.
Soon, a design drawing wrapped in a kraft paper envelope in the cabinet caught her attention.
She carefully opened the brown paper envelope, poured out the contents and checked it herself.
After confirming that the blueprint was what that person wanted, she stood there in shock.
After a long time, she shook her hands and seemed to have made a huge determination.
He took that design away and replaced it with a mediocre design.
Chapter completed!
