Chapter 71 - Do You Know That You Look Like a Plate of Scrambled Eggs With Tomatoes?

Just then, a familiar voice was heard from behind her. “Shop assistant, where are the two rolls of materials I asked you to leave for me from France? Are they still here?”

The shop assistant’s expression immediately changed. She put on a flattering smile and walked over to greet the person.

“Ms. Zuo, you’re here again! Don’t worry, I’ve wrapped up all the materials you asked for, and they’re in perfect condition!”

“Well, that’s great. I’m joining this season’s Huafeng Competition, and I’m aiming for the top prize. The materials I need are very important. You must keep the best ones for me. Money is not a problem. If you get any new fabrics, just call me.”

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Luo Chenxi, and she was stunned for a moment.

The shop assistant hurriedly explained, “Miss Zuo, this person has been looking around the shop for a long time, but she hasn’t bought anything yet. It seems like she can’t afford it. I was about to ask her to leave the shop.”

Zuo Xiaoqing was excited and strode over. “Luo Chenxi, it’s you! You’re so poor. How dare you come to such a high-end shop? I’m laughing my head off!”

Luo Chenxi did not expect to bump into an acquaintance even when she was looking at fabrics. She couldn’t help but frown.

As expected, enemies often cross each other’s paths.

She glanced at Zuo Xiaoqing and said coldly, “Isn’t this shop opened here to allow people to come in and browse the items? If customers can’t even look at it, they might as well close the shop.”

She was indeed surprised to see Zuo Xiaoqing acting so familiar with the shop assistant.

Back when she was in high school, Zuo Xiaoqing’s family background was very ordinary. However, when they met at SL Corporation, she was wearing a full set of SL’s new collection. Now, she was buying such expensive and high quality fabrics.

Ordinary families definitely couldn’t afford to spend like this.

Zuo Xiaoqing let out an exaggerated laugh. “So what if you’ve seen it? You can only afford to buy the trash outside! You can’t even afford better clothes, yet you dream of winning an award at the Huafeng Competition? Let me give you a word of advice. Fashion design is a profession that only rich people can dabble in. A poor person like you should give up on it as soon as possible!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chenxi did not fly into a rage out of embarrassment as she had hoped. Instead, the corners of her mouth curled up as she sized up Zuo Xiaoqing.

Zuo Xiaoqing saw the look in her eyes and her heart skipped a beat.

The last time Luo Chenxi had such an expression was when she was at SL Corporation. Back then, she sized up Zuo Xiaoqing and looked at her from head to toe.

This time, could she…

“Although red and yellow are both popular colors this autumn, there should be a distinction between the main and secondary colors when they are paired with each other. For someone like you who doesn’t have any sense of fashion aesthetics, you would wear just about anything that’s in season and popular. Do you know that you look like a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes?”

As soon as she had finished speaking, a snicker could be heard from the side.

Zuo Xiaoqing turned her head angrily and saw the shop assistant covering her mouth in embarrassment.

In fact, when Zuo Xiaoqing first came in, the shop assistant had already thought that she was dressed a little weirdly. However, Zuo Xiaoqing was a big client, and she was a designer who graduated from a well-known art academy. Naturally, the shop assistant was doubtful of her own tastes.

Now that Luo Chenxi had made such a vivid comparison, she could not help but laugh out loud.

“Damn you, Luo Chenxi, who are you calling scrambled eggs with tomatoes? These two pieces are the hottest designs from SL this year. They cost hundreds of thousands! What do you know?”

Luo Chenxi smiled and said, “Let me give you a piece of advice too. Fashion design is a career for people with artistic talent. Money alone is not enough. If Miss Zuo wants to win the first prize in the Huafeng competition, you’ll have to practice more!”

Zuo Xiaoqing was so angry that she choked with rage.
