Chapter 162
Lidya Su touched her mouth subconsciously.
Then, she couldn’t help looking at Jamel Xiao with an annoyed look: “You blame me!”
“If you don’t have this guilty heart, how could I make you feel bad?” Jamel Xiao smiled deeply at the corner of his mouth.
Lidya Su glared at Jamel Xiao for a while, and suddenly, she blinked, walked over, stood on tiptoe, and k!ssed Jamel Xiao on her own initiative.
A hint of surprise flashed in Jamel Xiao’s eyes.
Lidya Su has always been shy, asking her to take the initiative, this is really a thousand years of waiting.
Why is she in such a good mood today?
It seems that the one-month precept can be broken.
Jamel Xiao couldn’t help but k!ssed back deeply.
Lidya Suqiang resisted the urge to soften his legs and led Jamel Xiao to move in the room.
When she reached the door, she turned around and suddenly pushed Jamel Xiao out, while quickly locked the door!
When Jamel Xiao reacted, he was already naked and locked in the doorway.
Xiao Jing was shocked for a moment, then couldn’t help but furious: “Lidya Su! You open the door!”
“No.” Lidya Su said triumphantly: “You are welcome in the guest room, I will take a shower first.”
Then, she really left Jamel Xiao aside, and took a shower on her own.
Jamel Xiao knocked on the door of the meeting, and saw that Lidya Su really ignored him, could not help but gritted his teeth.
This woman!
It’s really getting more and more arrogant.
But, who makes this one is used to it!
Now to blame, Jamel Xiao didn’t know who to blame.
Jamel Xiao took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Lidya Su angrily: “Lidya Su, if I care about you again, I will be a puppy.”
After taking a shower, Lidya Su couldn’t help laughing when she saw this message.
Jamel Xiao really became more and more naive.
Not long after she finished reading the text message, there was another knock on the door.
Lidya Su couldn’t help being a little amused: “Jamel Xiao, if you ignore me, you are a puppy.”
The knock on the door paused for a while.
Then suddenly remembered the voice: “Wow.”
“Puff.” Lidya Su couldn’t hold back this time, and laughed.
She opened the door and let Jamel Xiao in.
Jamel Xiao had already put on his pajamas. This time, he was holding a plate of durian in his hand; “Eat it, your favorite.”
As he spoke, a gleam of disgust flashed through his eyes.
He belongs to the firm anti-durian faction, and the smell of this thing is no different from biochemical weapons to him.
However, he knew that Lidya Su was a staunch durian lover.
“Durian!” A hint of surprise flashed in Lidya Su’s eyes: “Don’t you hate the smell of durian the most?”
Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows: “You finally finished the design draft, as a celebration for you. Remember, you must brush your teeth after eating, you must brush your teeth, you must brush your teeth.”
Important things should be emphasized three times.
Lidya Su looked at Jamel Xiao, but just kept laughing.
“What are you laughing at?” Jamel Xiao looked inexplicable.
Lidya Su stood on tiptoe, stamped a k!ss on Jamel Xiao’s lips like a dragonfly, and then said softly: “Depth of field, I love you.”
Jamel Xiao’s eyebrows flew out all at once, and he said calmly: “Normal, after all, I’m so good.”
Jamel Xiao was so narcissistic, this time, Lidya Su did not rush to refute him.
She is smiling, her eyebrows are bent.
A year ago, she never thought that she would fall in love with Jamel Xiao.
A year later, she couldn’t imagine what she would do if she lost Jamel Xiao.
This life is enough for her.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Mr. Zuo received news and asked everyone to bring their works to the Universal Building.
Lidya Su naturally didn’t dare to neglect, and went in a hurry.
Everyone turned in their work.
Zuo Lao glanced at it, and then said: “In another hour, the voting channel will be officially opened. After an hour, you will upload your work by yourself.”
“Okay.” Everyone responded.
“Lao Zuo, there’s still an hour left anyway, can you explain our work?” Someone had an idea and suddenly proposed.
Everyone looked at Zuo Lao expectantly.
Old Zuo thought for a while, took a look at the work, and explained it.
Similarly, everyone cut short comments, most of which are mainly praise and encouragement.
Everyone was very happy to hear.
“Lidya Su…” Zuo Lao picked up Lidya Su’s work and looked at it carefully.
Lidya Su couldn’t help looking at Zuo Lao expectantly.
For this work, she has really tried her best.
Zuo Lao watched for a while, and then said: “It’s a little better than last time, but it’s only a little bit. Have you looked at your arrangement here, have you tested the angle? And here…”
Old Zuo criticized eloquently again.
In Zuo Lao’s statement, Lidya Su’s work has no bright spots.
Lidya Su’s face paled again. Then, she quickly took out the notebook and wrote down the opinions raised by Zuo Lao.
The work is about to be uploaded, it is too late to modify.
But in the future she can progress in the direction pointed out by Zuo Lao.
Seeing Lidya Su’s actions, Zuo Lao’s eyes flashed with impenetrable appreciation.
Everyone’s work has been explained, and it sounds like Lidya Su’s work is still the worst in Zuo Lao’s evaluation.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Lidya Su a little gloating.
Zuo Lao is the authority in authority, and Zuo Lao said it is not good, then it must be bad.
This Lidya Su is no longer worthy of being their opponent.
After an hour, everyone uploaded their work. The voting channel is opened at the same time.
“In this vote, there is only one vote per ip. Moreover, your work will be posted to a forum with a lot of traffic, where there are tens of millions of netizens. Therefore, you don’t have to look for help from relatives and friends. Relatives and friends vote the most. It’s only a thousand shots, which can’t affect the final result.” Zuo Lao said.
Everyone also responded.
But in response, they hurried to the Moments of Friends, QQ space, Weibo and other places they could think of to canvass votes.
“Lidya, don’t you post Moments?” Chen Heng asked while posting Moments.
“Didn’t Zuo Lao say that, relatives and friends votes can’t affect the result.” Lidya Su said with a smile.
“Just in case for everything! What if you miss the top ten?” Chen Heng kept his fingers.
Lidya Su just smiled.
There are some things that Chen Heng can do, but she can’t do it.
She also has a second identity as Mrs. Xiao, if you canvass for votes, it is inevitable to leave the truth.
So, let the masses choose everything.
The vote lasted three full days.
Thirty finalists each showed their magical powers and canvassed for votes.
However, just like what Zuo Lao said, friendship votes can’t decide anything at all.
On the first day, the fewest people had nearly 100,000 votes, and the most people had passed one million!
Among such votes, the proportion of friendship votes is almost negligible.
Chapter 163
At 24 o’clock in the evening on the first day.
Comparing the votes of everyone, the person with the most votes was 1.93 million, which opened the second place with a full 500,000 votes.
And this number one is…
“Me?” Lidya Su’s eyes flashed in disbelief.
To be honest, after being criticized by Zuo Lao, her spirit has gone for the most part. This time, she is ready to be the bottom.
But when the results came out on the first day, she turned out to be the first?
Jamel Xiao glanced at the result, but his face was calm: “Those people have pretty good eyes.”
Well, the vision is as good as him.
Lidya Su still couldn’t believe this fact.
She turned out to be the first overwhelming advantage? This, this is really unexpected.
Lidya Su thought of a possibility, and suddenly turned to look at Jamel Xiao: “Depth of field…you have nothing to do with this number of votes, right?”
If Jamel Xiao wants to make a move, let alone nearly two million votes, nearly 20 million can be made by him.
Seeing Lidya Su’s suspicious gaze, Jamel Xiao couldn’t help but raised his eyebrows: “You just don’t believe in your own strength?”
“No… I was actually quite confident at first. But Lao Zuo doesn’t seem to be optimistic about me.” Lidya Su hesitated.
If it is the evaluation of other designers, even if it is a master-level figure like Lu Xudong, she would not care too much.
However, the person who evaluated this time was Mr. Zuo.
He is known in the design circle for his own strength and the best vision.
He said that he is not good, so he… is probably not good, right?
“Lao Zuo is not a god, and he sometimes loses his eyes. Your strength, at least in the company, is recognized. Your work is also highly praised on the client’s side. With so many people approving of you, why do you have to because Old Zuo doesn’t approve, so he doubts himself?” Jamel Xiao said.
Lidya Su looked at Jamel Xiao for a while, and suddenly sighed: “Depth, when did you learn to be reasonable like the old man?”
Jamel Xiao’s brows jumped, he was about to speak.
Before he became angry, Lidya Su had rushed to admit his mistake.
A simple episode, but at this meeting, Lidya Su’s heart is still much settled.
Anyway, she didn’t do any bad behavior in private. These votes were all voluntarily voted for her.
That being the case, she accepted it calmly.
Lidya Su’s vote advantage lasted until the third day.
On the third day, the original second place suddenly rose to catch up. On the last day, three million votes were added in one day, and Lidya Su was finally suppressed and succeeded in reaching the top.
“The result of the finals is second place.” Lidya Su was a little bit regretful, but not too emotional.
If you are a finalist, you just need to be in the top ten.
She was second, enough.
On the next day, Lidya Su received a notice from the official judges.
The top ten has been decided, and the competition notified the 30 shortlisted people to go to the Central Gymnasium at 8 o’clock tomorrow evening.
That night, the top ten names will be officially announced, and then the finals will be played at the same time, and the champion will be decided that night.
“The stadium has been changed to the central stadium? This time, I don’t know what the comparison is.” Chen Heng said.
He happened to be tenth in the voting competition, and the crane entered the final.
“I don’t know.” Lidya Su shook his head.
“Lidya, we Lanyu is the biggest investor. Mr. Xiao must know the inside story. Go and ask Mr. Xiao.” Someone suddenly interjected.
“That is, you can ask President Xiao, so that both you and Chen Heng can get good results.”
Lidya Su was stunned for a moment, and then said: “I still don’t ask, this is unfair to others.”
“Lidya, don’t hide it. This time your votes are so high. Didn’t you ask Mr. Xiao for help? Now the last ranking, you don’t have to worry about it, but if Chen Heng can make the top three, we Lan Yu also has light.” Another person said.
Lidya Su frowned: “What are you talking about? I haven’t asked Depth of Field to help. My votes are all true.”
Everyone was silent for a while, and then one after another said: “Yes, yes, true, true.”
Although they said so, their eyes were filled with unbelief.
Lidya Su looked at Chen Heng and found that Chen Heng’s gaze was a little dodging.
Obviously, he did not believe his words either.
“Lidya, we all believe that your vote count is true, but now, you can help ask an insider. It won’t take much effort.”
“That’s it.”
Lidya Su gritted her teeth: “Sorry, I think everyone should still play fairly. I won’t ask.”
“Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay, the big deal is that I will continue to crane the tail. Everyone, don’t surround Lidya.” Chen Heng said.
Then everyone dispersed.
Lidya Su always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
She got this number of votes entirely based on her own ability. How could it be because she was Jamel Xiao’s wife? It must have been Jamel Xiao’s help?
Now, everyone in the company feels so, even Chen Heng, who has always believed in her before, is a little skeptical about this matter.
From the outside, I don’t know what it will be like!
Lidya Su took a deep breath and threw away the negative emotions.
In any case, she just has a clear conscience.
However, there are some things that she can’t avoid with a clear conscience.
In the afternoon, someone in the gossip group @ her and sent her a link.
“Lidya, go and take a look, don’t make a big deal.”
Lidya Su took a look and frowned.
This post does not have any descriptive language, only an audio and a screenshot.
The audio is Zuo Lao’s criticism of her work.
The screenshot shows her nearly 10 million votes.
Without a word, the irony in it was clear.
“Oh my god, Zuo Lao can get such a high number of votes for a work with such a poor evaluation? Is everyone blind?”
“I just said that Lidya Su’s work is so plain and boring at all. Sure enough, the master proved what I said.”
“Such a bad work can have a second place. It’s not shady.”
Questions are coming.
Before long, someone pointed out: “You don’t know yet? Lidya Su is the wife of Lanyu Construction Jamel Xiao. Lanyu Construction is the biggest investor in this competition, so… everyone knows?”
“I said, how come so many people are blind. The Xiao family is so rich, you can buy tens of millions of votes at will. This is only close to 10 million votes, it is already merciful by his subordinates, tut tut tut. .”
“What about fairness, fairness, and openness? This kind of competition is simply a shame to our people.”
“That’s it, it’s only a related household, and it actually took the second place. I think this Lidya Su’s design is simply rubbish.”
Lidya Su’s face was a little pale, and the person next to him couldn’t help but comfort.
“Lidya, don’t worry too much. These people have no evidence and can’t take you to anything.”
This kind of comfort does not make Lidya Su happy at all.
No evidence? What do you mean?
I think she still bought the votes in private!
Chapter 164
Even people in the company think so, let alone outsiders.
But rumors can come with an open mouth. Others say that she swiped the ticket, but it was just a sentence.
But it is extremely difficult for her to prove that she did not brush.
Lidya Su couldn’t help feeling a little sad. She obviously didn’t do anything, but she was deducted the reputation of buying tickets. If the incident continued to ferment, it would even affect Jamel Xiao and Lan Yu.
Lidya Su pursed her lips, and could not help sending a text message to Jamel Xiao: “Depth, sorry. I seem to have affected the company.”
Lidya Su was a little pessimistic at this moment.
She felt that after Mrs. Xiao’s identity was exposed, shouldn’t she continue to come to Lanyu for work?
With such an identity, in the future, no matter what she does, she will be affected by conspiracy theories, and Jamel Xiao’s reputation will follow her.
However, she really just wants to be an interior designer.
Jamel Xiao’s reply came quickly: “Don’t worry, I am here.”
Lidya Su looked at the screen and bit her lower lip slightly.
She has no doubt that Jamel Xiao can handle this matter well.
However, this time, Lidya Su really frustrated.
Once or twice, Jamel Xiao can solve it.
But three or four times?
You can’t count on Jamel Xiao to refute the rumors every time, right?
Obviously she did nothing wrong, but the identity of Mrs. Xiao alone was enough to make her stand on the cusp of the storm.
One is a dream, and the other is a family. Is it really impossible to coordinate with her?
Lidya Su was depressed, Jamel Xiao had already begun to give instructions.
He can simply and rudely delete posts, but this will only confirm the conspiracy theories of netizens. He doesn’t actually care what impact this matter will have on the company’s reputation. What he cares about is that it will affect Lidya Su’s future development.
“You can’t let the public opinion fall so one-sided, find some people to support Lidya Su in the post. At least make the views of both sides look equal.”
“Contact the notary office and immediately check the number of votes this time!”
“and also……”
After Jamel Xiao arranged some crisis measures. Everyone got busy.
A secretary next to him hesitated and said: “Mr. Xiao, in fact… the source of this incident is from Mr. Zuo. If Mr. Zuo can be invited to speak, the effect will be better than all our crisis public relations.
“I know.” Jamel Xiao frowned.
He also knew that letting Zuo Chen speak was the best way.
But Zuo Chen is a well-known stern temper, he may not cooperate with himself, maybe he will make things worse…
After all, at the step of Zuo Lao, there is no need to sell Lan Yu’s face.
Just when Jamel Xiao was pondering whether to go to Lao Zuo,
Suddenly, the door of the office opened, and someone came in in surprise: “Mr. Xiao, the matter is resolved, there is no need for crisis PR.”
“En?” Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows.
“Lao Zuo, it was Lao Zuo who spoke.” The man said hurriedly.
“Lao Zuo?” Jamel Xiao was slightly surprised and quickly opened the forum.
Zuo Chen actually spoke under his real name.
A simple sentence.
“Lidya Su is the most spiritual designer I have seen in the past ten years.”
Bottom, swipe out countless browsers
“Is old Zuo really upstairs?”
“Did you not see the real-name sign? It’s definitely Zuo Lao who didn’t run.”
“Come and take a photo.”
After expressing the joy of seeing Zuo Lao speaking, everyone returned to the matter.
“Didn’t Zuo Lao criticize Lidya Su before? How come you suddenly become the most spiritual designer.”
“This is not easy. It must be the contestant who asked Zuo Lao to speak.”
“I don’t see, Zuo Lao’s temperament, everyone knows. For so many years, I haven’t seen him succumb to anyone. Besides, Zuo Lao’s position is as stable as Mount Tai, even if it is Lan Yu, what kind of capital is there to please Zuo Lao? speak?”
“What’s the reason?”
Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the reasons for the change in Zuo Lao’s attitude, and the number of votes seemed to be less important.
Jamel Xiao squinted his eyes and was also a little surprised at Zuo Lao’s speech.
However, it is always good for Zuo Lao to speak.
Jamel Xiao continued to order: “There is no need to find someone else to help Lidya speak, this post, let it develop freely. In addition, continue to find the notary office to notarize the number of votes. I will see the final result before 8 o’clock tomorrow night.”
“Yes.” Everyone continued to get busy.
In the office.
Lidya Su looked at Zuo Lao’s sudden speech, also a little surprised.
She also did not expect that at this time, the first person to stand up to help her was actually Zuo Lao.
Lidya Su hesitated and sent a text message to Zuo Lao: “Thank you Zuo Lao.”
Lidya Su did not expect to get a reply, but after a few minutes, Zuo Lao actually replied to her: “Come on in the final.”
“Come on for the final.” Lidya Su looked at the screen of the phone and smiled like a fool.
Old Zuo personally asked her to cheer. Does this prove that she is actually quite talented?
Most of the previous negative emotions suddenly disappeared, and Lidya Suzhong became fighting spirit again.
It was the next day in a blink of an eye.
seven o ‘clock.
Lidya Su looked at the mirror and took a few deep breaths.
Finally came to the last step.
Now, she doesn’t insist on what kind of ranking she must get, she just wants to show her progress in front of Old Zuo.
“Time is almost up, let’s go.” Jamel Xiao closed the laptop.
Jamel Xiao is one of the final judges, so he will also be there.
“Shall we go together?” Lidya Su hesitated: “Is this too high-profile?”
Isn’t this an excuse for another shady?
Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows: “If you are not high-profile, don’t everyone know that you are Mrs. Xiao?”
Lidya Su blinked.
What Jamel Xiao said was so reasonable, she was speechless.
While in the car, Lidya Su kept instructing Jamel Xiao: “Depth, when your judges vote this time, you must not vote for me, otherwise, you will be said to be shady again.”
Jamel Xiao couldn’t comment, and he didn’t know whether he agreed or not.
More than half an hour later, the two appeared in the stadium at the same time, arm in arm.
With a swipe, all eyes focused.
Then, I remembered some whispering voices.
Lidya Su was slightly uncomfortable, but Jamel Xiao was very calm. He stamped a k!ss on Lidya Su’s forehead and said: “The judges will have a small meeting. I will go backstage first. We will see you later.”
“Okay.” Unexpectedly, Jamel Xiao would suddenly make this action in the public, and Lidya Su’s face turned red.
As soon as Jamel Xiao left, everyone gathered around curiously.
“Lidya Su, do you know how the finals will be played tonight? Tell me about it?”
“You are Mr. Xiao’s wife, you must know it.”
Everyone asked.
Lidya Su couldn’t help but smiled bitterly; “Sorry, I am like you, I don’t know anything.”
“Lidya Su, don’t be so stingy.” A young man with a good-looking appearance said sourly: “You have Mrs. Xiao’s identity, anyway, you have already booked the championship position. You eat meat, and you have to let us Have some soup.”
Lidya Su frowned and glanced at it. The speaking man, An Lin, was the one who surpassed her on the last day of the voting and became the first.
