Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 448 - 447: Only a Boss or an Idiot Would Dare to Dress Like This

Qin Cheng was a bit skeptical of his own ears.

But seeing that Chi Gui had already gotten out of the car, he felt it inappropriate to say more. All he could do was watch as Chi Gui walked into the crowd... It had to be said, among a bunch of flamboyantly dressed designers, Chi Gui’s "earthy" outfit was especially eye-catching.

The designers around were clearly startled by Chi Gui’s casual demeanor, which was as if she had just washed her face at home and stepped out the door. They looked at her with mixed surprise and skepticism.

This was the International Jewelry Association’s only assessment of the year!

Only a big shot or an idiot would dare to dress like that!

An enthusiastic designer had already approached her, smiling as they greeted Chi Gui, "I haven’t seen you before, so this must be your first time, right? Who did you apprentice under before?"

The circle of jewelry designers had its own set of rules. To enter the industry, one must first "apprentice" under a master.

The role of a master is not only to enhance the apprentice’s skills but also to introduce resources and help the apprentice connect with the big names in the jewelry circle. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Consequently, after a certain level of learning, every jewelry designer would try their best to be taken in by a well-known master in the circle.

And the fame and skill of the master often affected the apprentice’s status within the circle.

That’s why, right upon greeting her, the designer directly asked who Chi Gui’s master was.

Chi Gui was quite frank, "I am self-taught."

Upon hearing that she hadn’t been apprenticed to any prominent master, the surrounding people’s glances became less interested, and they stopped paying attention to Chi Gui.

The previously enthusiastic designer just chuckled and returned to their own small group, whispering to others, "Looks like she’s not a big shot, just a Little White who knows nothing and is here to try her luck."

The crowd around Chi Gui thinned out quite a bit.

Only a somewhat slender young girl still stood in place, smiling amiably at Chi Gui, "Hello, my name is Gu Ling, I’m also from Huaxia... I’ve already attended once before, so you can ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand."

Chi Gui didn’t expect that after her own admission, someone would still be willing to take the initiative to interact with her.

She looked at the girl a bit surprised.

This girl had a pretty face, with a gentle and refined appearance, but she was very thin, pale-faced, and looked somewhat exhausted, seeming to be affected by a long-term illness.

She was dressed very fashionably as well, but among so many dazzling designers, she was barely noticeable.

Chi Gui greeted her amiably, but when she saw the girl’s clothes, she found their style strangely familiar and couldn’t help but ask, "What is your relationship with Master Timothy?"

Hearing Chi Gui’s question, the girl was taken aback and her eyes widened in surprise, "You know my teacher?"

"She’s your teacher?" Chi Gui realized, "The style of your clothes, in the entire jewelry circle, no one likes it except for her."

Gu Ling: ...

She really couldn’t respond to that.

Gu Ling smiled good-naturedly, "My teacher’s style is indeed quite unique."

"Indeed..." Chi Gui nodded.

After a brief exchange between the two, a sudden stir occurred among the people around.

"Here she comes, the Yao Family’s heiress is here!"

"With her participation, does that leave only nine spots for the Association this year?"

"She truly deserves to be from the Yao Family... Just that demeanor alone sets her apart from us..."

Even Gu Ling couldn’t help but look over Chi Gui’s shoulder, admiration in her eyes, "This is the heiress from a jewelry family, utterly different from us indeed..."
