After they sat down, the attentive waiter handed over the menu. Xu Yuanmo ordered a few dishes that Chu Xixi had mentioned before. His movements were natural and careful, which made her feel a little moved.

The small speaker on the dining table plays Norah Jones's "Come Away With Me", blending in with the surrounding environment and creating a lazy and romantic atmosphere.

Xu Yuanmo looked at her tenderly, "Ms. Chu, did you encounter any difficulties during the design process? Do you need me to do anything for you?"

Chu Xixi smiled slightly. She didn't need any inspiration. All of this was just an idea she had when she was in the orphanage, but she never had the chance to realize it.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Mr. Xu," Chu Xixi said softly, "Everything is under control."

Through the window, the city lights were brilliant under the night sky. They sat opposite each other, silent but in perfect harmony. Chu Xixi felt a long-lost peace and comfort, and the doubts and tension in her heart gradually dissipated.

At this time, the dishes were served, and Xu Yuanmo gently cut the steak for Chu Xixi. The gentlemanly demeanor revealed in his every move was impressive.

As the conversation deepened, Xu Yuanmo did not hide his inner thoughts. He hoped that through this design and construction, he could add a beautiful landscape to the city and contribute to charity.

"Mr. Xu, you really attach great importance to this cooperation." Chu Xixi said.

"Because I believe that well begun is half the success." Xu Yuanmo looked back at her with a firm gaze.

Chu Xixi smiled slightly. Through the window of the restaurant, she saw from afar the twinkling stars in the night sky of the city, as if representing every little dream and hope.

"I am also looking forward to the bright future that this cooperation will bring." Chu Xixi said with a confident smile on her face.

"I will definitely come up with a winning design." She replied with a firm look in her eyes.

Xu Yuanmo looked at Chu Xixi deeply. His growing emotions were like a river filled with water, broad and deep. He had decided on this woman, and he would wait for her until she was willing to accept his love.

"Ms. Chu, I'm looking forward to it." Xu Yuanmo said with a faint smile, and before leaving he turned back and gave her a deep look that made people sink into it.

After Chu Xixi returned home, she began to read through various materials and books. She poured out all the previous case designs and studied them again, just for this important task, just to prove to the man that she was not a woman who could be played with casually.

A week later, Chu Xixi's design was presented to her in its entirety. She looked at this work of art and could not suppress her excitement and pride. Qin Shiyu was also looking at Chu Xixi in front of her at this time, with a look of respect and admiration. It is said that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Chu Xixi in front of her is that one percent genius and ninety-nine percent diligence.

Of course, dinner arrived as scheduled. Chu Xixi wore the lavender dress that Qin Shiyu helped her pick out, exuding an elegant and gentle temperament. She stood at the door of the restaurant, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open and went in.

"Welcome, Miss Chu." A humble male voice sounded in her ears. Chu Xixi looked up and saw Xu Yuanmo standing there solemnly. His black suit made him look even more handsome. His eyes lit up the moment he saw Chu Xixi, as if he had found a long-lost treasure.

"Mr. Xu, nice to meet you." Chu Xixi approached politely. She looked at the man in front of her, and a warm emotion surged in her heart, as if the embrace that surrounded her and gave her warmth appeared again.

Xu Yuanmo looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and felt like he had found the most precious oasis in the world. He reached out, gently held her hand, and led her to the dining table.

For Chu Xixi, this dinner opened a new chapter in her life, and also heralded the beginning of a long-destined fate...

However, when she was about to reveal her design, an unexpected guest suddenly came to the restaurant. From the moment she entered the door, Chu Xixi was dragged into a vortex of war. This person was Xu Yuanmo's fiancée - Cheng Yaoyao.

Smash it! Smash it hard!

You little brat, you dare to snatch the man Qin Shiyu likes, are you trying to kill yourself?

Qin Shiyu's mind was full of the scene of trying on the yarn just now, and suddenly he slapped his thigh.

"Fuck! Wedding dress! Huo-bitch-Fan!"

Chu Xixi came to her senses and hurriedly grabbed Qin Shiyu who was already walking out.

"Oh, Xixi, I can't help you analyze this drawing. Please change the design quickly. I'm really afraid that the scumbag will use despicable means to plot against you."

"And let me tell you, that scumbag works in the Huo family's design department!"

"..."? No, why doesn't she know that you are from the Huo family?

Before Chu Xixi could say anything, Qin Shiyu showed an attitude of "being grateful to someone who has done something for you and being soft-hearted when you have benefited from him".

"Xixi, listen to my argument. Huo Hangfan is not in charge of the Huo family's design department, but he is powerful and influential, and he can cover the sky with one hand--"

"Do you still remember the time Huo Hangfan dragged you to watch a design video, but he was actually watching a horror movie..."

"Also, when we were shopping, a girl blocked our way and Huo Hangfan kicked her away..."

"So, let's redraw the design. When we don't have any inspiration, just treat it as a vacation to the Maldives~"

Chu Xixi looked at Qin Shiyu who was talking nonstop with a headache, and she forced a smile.

I was wondering why she suddenly talked about so many memories in one breath. Was she lobbying for herself?

There was a hint of confusion and unwillingness in Chu Xixi's eyes.

But, rather than being afraid that Huo Hangfan might steal the design...

She is more afraid of the early morning period.

Yes, she was afraid of indigestion.

So she shook her head firmly and pointed to the picture designed by Sora.

Boy, let the storm come even harder!

Time passed and Chu Xixi emerged from the cocoon, and the day came for her to participate in the designer competition.

The moment she stepped into the competition venue, she felt the intersection of dream and reality. Before her was an excellent stage to display her talent, and her entry was exactly her experience in the orphanage and the difficulties the orphanage was currently facing.

At this moment, in the lounge, Liang Shufen held a cup of warm tea and said to Chu Xixi earnestly, "Xixi, no matter what the result is, you must understand that the most important thing for you is always to be yourself and do what you think is meaningful."

Chu Xixi's eyes fixed on her portfolio, and her mood gradually calmed down, becoming firm and clear. "Thank you, Dean Mama, I remember." Her voice was soft but powerful.

Just as she was about to go on stage, Xu Yuanmo's voice came into her ears through the phone. "Xixi, remember your value. What you want to present to the world is far more than what a competition can contain." His tone was gentle and powerful.

Chu Xixi felt warm in her heart. She took a deep breath and smiled. "I know." She responded softly, and stepped onto the competition stage with confidence and hope.

At this moment, the world seemed to stand still, and Chu Xixi felt the power deep in her heart bursting out. She walked to the stage with steady steps, and with a work called "Wings of Light", she unfolded her love for the children in the orphanage and her beautiful yearning for the future.

"My designs come from life, from the love that persists at all times." Chu Xixi's voice rang out in the venue, very clear and very contagious.

The judges and audience were all moved by the passion and determination shown in her work. When Chu Xixi was finally announced as the winner, it was not only a victory in the competition, but also the beginning of a new chapter in her life.

But what many people don’t know is that before she came on stage, Xu Yuanmo had an accident.

"This stage is just the beginning." Xu Yuanmo patted her shoulder, "Xixi, let's walk the future together."

Chu Xixi was slightly stunned, but she also felt a warmth welling up in her heart. She smiled and held the hand that Xu Yuanmo extended.

Any design that can win this competition will be completed.”

The concise and resolute answer made Xu Yuanmo smile with satisfaction, and he nodded deeply towards Chu Xixi.

That day, Chu Xixi stepped into her design studio with a brand new mindset. Carrying on her shoulders were not only her own hopes, but more importantly, the pressure of challenges.

She understood that this competition was not just between her and Xu Yuanmo. In fact, it was directly related to the conflict between her and her predecessor Huo Hangfan, which was also the issue of her survival path.

Thinking of this, Chu Xixi felt helpless, but her eyes widened, because the person who appeared in front of her was actually her former and extremely destructive predecessor Huo Hangfan.

"Chu Xixi, are you okay?" Huo Hangfan walked over with a relaxed look on his face, seemingly unaware of what happened yesterday.

"Huo Hangfan, I can tell you very clearly that our relationship is over. From now on you will be my rival in my design career, and I will no longer have any selfish intentions towards you." Chu Xixi frowned and looked at Huo Hangfan meaningfully, with only the seriousness and determination she showed towards her opponent in her eyes.

Huo Hangfan was stunned, as if he had not expected Chu Xixi's attitude to be so resolute. He looked at Chu Xixi with suspicion, at a loss as to what to do.

However, Chu Xixi no longer had the time to pay attention to him. She turned and walked into the design room, took a deep breath, and began to concentrate on preparing for the next design competition.

She knew that this competition was not just a design competition, but a challenge for her to get rid of her nausea, distress and pain. It was also the beginning of her counterattack against Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer.

While she was concentrating on the design, someone walked in from outside. It was Qin Shiyu, who brought a lunch for the workshop.

"Xixi, you are too engrossed. Don't forget to eat." Qin Shiyu handed over a lunch box and called softly.

Chu Xixi raised her head and looked at the lunch box in front of her. She smiled and thanked Qin Shiyu for her thoughtfulness and took the lunch box she handed over. "Thank you, Shiyu, you are so kind."

Qin Shiyu looked at Chu Xixi with a smile, his innocent and sincere eyes full of expectation and support for his good friend, "You are really good when you are good, Xixi, you are already the best, I believe you, you can do it."

The two of them had a simple working lunch in a corner of the design studio, which was simple but pleasant.

However, when they were enjoying their lunch leisurely, a strange noise was heard outside, getting closer and closer, until Chu Xixi heard the door being slammed open. She frowned slightly, stood up and looked towards the door, her eyes full of displeasure and shock.

Xu Yuanmo's steps suddenly stopped. He turned around, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his deep eyes looked at Chu Xixi steadily, "Ms. Chu, if you are willing, you can contact me anytime."

There was an unquestionable certainty in his tone, as if telling her that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, he was willing to help.

Chu Xixi looked up at him. At this moment, she felt a strange sense of security. She nodded gently, said goodbye, and watched Xu Yuanmo get in the car and leave.

"Let's go, Xixi, we can start preparing well." Qin Shiyu took Chu Xixi's arm, his face full of relief and encouragement.

Chu Xixi clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with the challenges ahead. She vowed to do her best, not only to prove her ability, but also for those who believed in her and helped her.

At the same time, Xu Yuanmo, who was in the car, also made a phone call, "Let's take action. She has made her choice."
