Rebirth in 1980: I pretend to be a pig, eat the tiger and marry the chief

"Uncle Wei, what's wrong?"

Tang Zheng sensed Director Wei's strange look and spoke in surprise.

Director Wei quickly adjusted himself and said, "Nothing, you came at the right time. There will be a fashion design competition in Magic City soon. I recommend you to participate."

Tang Zheng was somewhat surprised: "Really?"

She took the invitation letter from Director Wei and looked at it for a long time.

If she could become famous in this competition, she would have a firm foothold in the field of fashion design in the future. This is a stable job. Even if she loses everything in business, she will not starve with this ability.

"I disagree!"

Tang Zheng was just feeling happy and thinking about what type of clothing to design when Director Wei's office was suddenly opened. A blue-haired woman with delicate makeup and fashionable clothes came in. She looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

When Tang Zheng saw the woman's face, his eyes widened.

This is Ella, a designer who returned from studying abroad. In her previous life, the clothes she designed were the leading representatives of fashion.

He was very glorious when he was young, but he was a bit miserable in his old age.

"Ella..." Director Wei felt a little guilty and nervous when he saw Ella.

Ella looked very unhappy: "Director, didn't we agree before that you would let me participate in this competition? How can you go back on your word!"

Director Wei looked a little unhappy: "Ella, you can't say that. I was optimistic about your participation in the competition, but I didn't make a firm decision on this matter."

In fact, Director Wei still liked Tang Zheng's design, but Tang Zheng was far away in Huayang. Not only was she pregnant, but she also lost her husband. Director Wei considered it inconvenient for Tang Zheng to come all the way, so he wanted to leave this opportunity to Ella.

Ella ignored Director Wei's explanation and looked Tang Zheng up and down with a bad look, the contempt in her eyes becoming more and more obvious.

Tang Zheng also looked down at her ordinary clothes. What she wore was indeed ordinary, but that didn't mean her taste was also ordinary. She just wanted to better integrate into the group.

There are ordinary people around you. If you dress like a peacock, people will treat you as an alien. Besides, she doesn't have Ella's high education and background, so there is no need to do so.

"I heard that you didn't seem to have been to school?"

Tang Zheng smiled and said, "I'm in high school now."

Ella was a little surprised, then looked disdainful: "You are from a high school in a small county, I thought you had a high level of education."

Xiao Beiqi's face turned cold. If Ella was not a woman, she would probably have grabbed her collar.

Director Wei coughed, trying to ease the embarrassment, but he didn't know what to say.

These two are designers in the factory. The sales of clothing depend on their designs. He dares not offend either of them, nor does he have the ability to smooth things over.

Unexpectedly, Tang Zheng was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled brightly and raised his eyebrows at Ella: "I am only nineteen years old this year, and my birthday is young, I am only seventeen. I am young and have plenty of time. When I am twenty-five or twenty-six years old, I may also be an outstanding student."

Ella's face looked as ugly as if she had eaten a dead fly. She understood what Tang Zheng meant. He was saying that she was old!

Ella wanted to scold Tang Zheng, but as she had received higher education, she couldn't open her mouth.

So, she turned her anger to Director Wei: "Director, I don't agree with her representing our factory in the competition. If you insist on doing this, then I will resign!"

These words made Director Wei's face turn pale. Although Tang Zheng's design was good, Ella was after all a professional and highly educated designer.

Moreover, he knew that many clothing factories wanted to hire Ella as a designer with high salaries. If he didn't smooth over Ella's tendencies and she really gave up, his job as factory director would probably be over.

"Ella, don't be angry. Next time, I will definitely recommend you to participate in the competition. This time, just be more magnanimous..."

"Since you insist on doing this, I won't accompany you anymore!"

Ella was already furious. Even after she had said so much, Director Wei still sided with Tang Zheng.

This design competition is no small matter. The most capable designers from home and abroad will participate in the competition.

If people knew that she, a highly educated designer, was not as good as a country girl, how many people would laugh at her?

Ella turned around and was about to leave. Director Wei looked flustered. After all, he had given the invitation letter to Tang Zheng, and he was too embarrassed to ask for it back. However...

"Wait a moment." Tang Zheng suddenly called Ella and walked slowly to her: "I have a way to achieve the best of both worlds."

Director Wei asked quickly: "What's the solution?"

Ella glanced at Tang Zheng and waited for her next words.

Tang Zheng said, "How about we organize a competition internally and let the top-ranked person participate in the competition?"

After hearing this, Director Wei couldn't help but applaud: "Xiao Tang, what you said makes a lot of sense. Let's hold a competition right away, and all the designers in our factory will participate!"

Several designers in the factory wanted to participate in the competition, but he held on to the invitation letter and refused to let go. Those designers had long been dissatisfied with him and said that he was biased.

In that case, he will give everyone a fair and just opportunity, and no one will be able to say anything then!

Ella snorted coldly: "That's more like it."

She looked at Tang Zheng again. Although she was very satisfied with the outcome of the matter, she still felt uncomfortable that this idea was thought up by a country girl like Tang Zheng and that Director Wei adopted it so easily.

"How about this, whoever wins this competition gets to stay in the factory, and whoever loses gets to pack up and leave. How about that?"

Tang Zheng curled his lips. Her bedding was not in the factory to begin with.

Director Wei's face looked bad again. After all this talk, the result was only going to be worse.

If Xiao Tang wins, Ella will have to leave. If Ella wins, Xiao Tang will have to leave. How does this mean that he will still be the one who gets hurt?

Tang Zheng naturally guessed what Director Wei was thinking, so he said, "If you say so, there is no need for us to compete."

Ella: “What?”

Tang Zheng said: "No matter who wins or loses, you can't leave."

Ella sneered, "Well, don't regret it."

If Tang Zheng loses, how can she still have the face to stay in the factory? She will be the one who gets slapped in the face then.

The matter was settled, and there was no need for Ella to stay any longer, so she turned around and left.

When she left, she glanced at Xiao Beiqi inadvertently, and her arrogant expression instantly turned into shock.

During the whole process, Xiao Beiqi didn't say a word and was almost invisible. If it weren't for his tall stature, Ella would probably not have noticed him.

Ella frowned. Is this the eldest grandson of Yun from the Ming family, the richest family in Beijing?

How is it possible? How could he come here and be with a country girl... no... a country widow?
