2363 Twins
How could something that Qiao Weiyang had prepared for the finals not win the award?
The gown Qiao Jierou had seen with her own eyes was exquisite and flawless to the point of being exquisitely crafted. It was shocking. If she didn’t win an award, no one else would be deserving of that award.
“Alright! I’ll help you with the publicity again and get more friends to invest.” Huang Shumin was overjoyed.
Qiao Jierou returned to her room to pack her luggage and walked down the stairs.
Seeing another person who was about to invest in her company on the sofa, she greeted them with a smile.
Qiao Dongliang stood at the side, frowning and looking displeased.
“Dongliang, don’t interfere with your sister’s business here,” Huang Shumin said. “Go back and study.”
He turned around and left.
Old Madam Qiao smiled and said, “The child is currently taking the college entrance examination and is under a lot of psychological pressure. Please forgive him.”
“It’s okay. I understand. I understand.”
After Qiao Jierou finished communicating with that person, she walked out. Lin Heng drove over to pick her up before going to the airport.
Lin Heng was in a good mood. Currently, the investments that JR had absorbed were enormous. JR’s share price had been rising continuously, and the outside world was optimistic.
He predicted that when they returned from winning the award, JR’s market value would double again and the share price would double.
He got out of the car and opened the door for Qiao Jierou. Qiao Jierou followed him into the car.
“What did Dongliang say?” Lin Heng asked.
“If he doesn’t agree, I can’t ask Grandpa. My mother’s intention can only be put aside for the time being. My mother will get other investments first.”
Lin Heng said indifferently, “In that case, let’s forget about it first.”
“My original intention was to bring him along and let him further improve his a.s.sets. Be it for himself or the Qiao family, it’ll be a huge improvement in the future. But he…”
Qiao Jierou really felt sorry for Qiao Dongliang. He was missing out on such a good opportunity just because he trusted Qiao Weiyang.
‘Forget it, I’ll teach him a lesson this time. Let’s see if he still dares to trust Qiao Weiyang like this in the future.’
When they arrived at the airport, Qiao Jierou, Lin Heng, and Hu Haitian met up.
Last time, Hu Haitian had also partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion. This time, she might also win an award.
“Jierou, President Lin.” Hu Haitian went forward to help with the luggage. This time, she had also invested a lot of money into JR Corporation and was waiting for a big share.
“Jierou, you’ll definitely win the gold award this time. I can’t wait to see you on stage,” Hu Haitian said with a smile. “I’m looking forward to it.”
Qiao Jierou smiled reservedly. “Thank you. I hope you can achieve good results.”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
“When the time comes, JR will still need talents like you,” Qiao Jierou said with a smile.
She could already confirm that Hu Haitian would definitely be recruited under JR.
The three of them arrived in Germany and entered the hotel they would be staying at.
There was still no sign of Qiao Weiyang.
Qiao Jierou was very curious. Where was Qiao Weiyang staying?
Lin Heng suddenly remembered that the last time he was at the Qiao family’s residence, he had seen Su Zhuoqian come to pick up Qiao Weiyang. Could it be that the two of them…
Immediately, he dismissed this thought. Impossible. What kind of status did Su Zhuoqian have? How could he take a fancy to someone like Qiao Weiyang?
After he settled down, Hu Haitian was notified to make a special trip to the main committee.
Qiao Jierou was a little surprised. “Why did they ask you to go?”
“I’m not too sure either. I just received the notice. I have to go over immediately.”
“This is a good thing. I heard that there are many large companies recruiting talents on the main committee’s side. Every time before the awards are released, they’ll contact the contestants and sign on all the potential talents in advance.” Lin Heng pondered and continued, “Perhaps they want to poach a talent like you.”
Hu Haitian was immediately overjoyed. Lin Heng had many connections and was well-informed, so his words were naturally credible.
When Qiao Jierou heard this, she felt uneasy. Someone was poaching Hu Haitian, but why wasn’t anyone poaching her?
Could it be that the work she submitted was not good enough?
On second thought, everyone knew that she had opened a company and it was listed. She was a big boss. She was not on the same level as the other contestants. Why should she be so petty over such matters?
“How about this? I’ll go with you,” Lin Heng said. Hu Haitian was a talent. He wanted her to work with Qiao Jierou and didn’t want to give up on this talent so easily.
Qiao Weiyang also received a notice to go over.
She knew very well that many contestants would be called over to review works that the judges had doubts about. They would have to answer the judges’ doubts. This was the main committee’s guarantee of fairness and justice for the entire compet.i.tion. It was also a further screening of talents.
“I’m going over. I’ll be back soon.” Qiao Weiyang changed her clothes and picked up her bag.
Su Zhuoqian let go of her hand. “I’ll drive you there and wait for you downstairs.”
Qiao Weiyang did not object. She got into his car and went straight to the main committee.
When they arrived, she planted a kiss on Su Zhuoqian’s face. When she saw the corners of his lips curl up, she got out of the car.
When she walked into the hall, she happened to see Lin Heng and Hu Haitian walking toward her.
Hu Haitian didn’t expect Qiao Weiyang to be called over, and she immediately became vigilant.
“Qiao Weiyang, you’re here too?” she said.
“What, I can’t come over?” Qiao Weiyang’s tone was indifferent.
Lin Heng originally thought that his engagement would more or less impact Qiao Weiyang’s emotions. He did not expect her to not even look at him. Her tone was still arrogant and cold, just like before.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know the purpose of being called here?” Hu Haitian asked. “You might be chosen by a big company. Are you willing to stay in a big company overseas?”
“This doesn’t seem to concern you, does it?”
Hu Haitian thought about it and agreed. She was just worried about being compared to Qiao Weiyang.
However, she remembered that she was going to join JR anyway. She had invested so much money in JR and now owned so many shares. When she returned this time, the investment would double. The rest was not important.
“It really has nothing to do with me,” Hu Haitian said and walked in with Lin Heng.
Qiao Weiyang was called in first.
Hu Haitian waited. She did not know why she was called her, nor did she know how many chances she had.
No matter what, the better the ranking, the more beneficial it would be in the future.
Finally, she saw Qiao Weiyang come out.
From Qiao Weiyang’s face, she could not tell what she had experienced, what the judges had asked, and if any big companies had poached her. Everything seemed so unknown.
“Hu Haitian, it’s your turn.”
Hu Haitian could not be bothered to investigate further and went in first.
Lin Heng looked at Qiao Weiyang’s back and was lost in thought for a moment, not knowing what to think.
After a while, Hu Haitian came out.
Her face was deathly pale, and her clothes were drenched in sweat. She was in a daze, unable to focus her eyes.
