Chapter 290 - Since you don't know, I will tell you

Unexpectedly, Elite Fashion World's show was completed successfully. The trouble Wan Jia had expected did not happen. Still, she didn't think it was too strange. With her man around, he could have possibly found out Ming Rui's intentions and stopped her before she had the chance to do anything.

As soon as she left the hall, she was surrounded by reporters.

"Designer Wan Jia, EFW's shows in the fashion week have always been run by the top designer. Are you a stand-in for Designer Shen, or have you replaced him on this position?"

Everyone was curious about this. It was public news and she didn't have to hide it. "I'm the current top designer."

However, she didn't know that these were not your everyday reporters. To be exact, they were normal reporters but had been bought over by someone.

A second reporter shoved a microphone near her face. "I heard insider news that Designer Wan used her position and power to forcefully snatch this position. Is it true?"

Wan Jia was shocked but she did not let it show on her face. "Are you a fashion news reporter, or a rumor reporter?"

The reporter was speechless. But he had been paid handsomely, so he didn't give up. "I'm only confirming the truth so I can report accurate news."

Wan Jia swept a glance over his slightly guilty eyes. "Then why are you not asking the CEO of Elite Fashion World? If you hurry right now, you can catch up to him."

He was now totally defeated.

"Designer Wan, you are already under Lu Enterprises. Do you still have to fight for such small positions as top designer?"

"Since I'm under Lu Enterprises, it means I shouldn't get promoted for my hard work?"

The second reporter was speechless.

They didn't give up.

"The point is, you snatched the position from other capable designers who…"

Wan Jia did not even need to let him finish. "Did the top editor in your company snatch their position from you?"

"…" what kind of logic was this?

"The point is; they are more capable than you."

"Then they are not as lucky as me. Luck is a form of ability. Please excuse me."

Ming Rui, not too far away, was exploding in fury. What were these idiots doing? Had she not paid them enough? What were they so afraid of?

Seeing her glare, a certain reporter tensed up. He had not been paid the full amount and would only be paid when his job was done.

"Insider news has it that the designs you used to snug that position were not even made by you. You used your assistant and forced her to work for you using your status and power. In my opinion, if Designer Shen is not good enough, then Designer Ming sure is good enough. Is this what designers do?"

Far away, Ming Rui smiled. At least one with a good brain.

Wan Jia's expression did not change. "You tell me. Is that what designers do? You seem to know more than I do."

The man kept quiet. What was he to say?

Wan Jia continued. "I never heard of designers using their assistants to earn their reputation before. You seem to know so much about it. Who is to say you haven't been paid by one of them to slander me?"

"You cannot twist logic like that!"

"I'm twisting logic? The fashion week just ended. None of you asked me any question related to my new series. You went straight to ask accusing questions that not only slander me; they slander Elite Fashion World as well. Who is it that is twisting logic?"

"…"

"You say Ming Rui and Designer Shen deserve to be the top designer more than I do, do you know how that position is decided?"

"I-Isn't it selected by the CEO?" the reporter was no longer confident.

Wan Jia maintained her smile. Instead of looking as sweet as it does usually, at this moment it looked threatening; like there was some high degree of disaster brewing from behind it.

"Since you do not know, I will tell you. The CEO does not decide the top designer, our sales do. You should get your facts right before you try to slander people."

When he saw another opening, he didn't waste his chance. "Sales? You are very famous. Of course your sales would be high."

"More famous than Designer Shen?"

"…"

Well, she wasn't.

Faced with a dead end, the reporters could only retreat. "We did not investigate properly and misspoke today. I hope Designer Wan doesn't mind."

They were about to run off fast.

"Wait!" she called out.

"Designer Wan, is there something else?" they were scared of this woman at this point. Who said she was a little pushover?

"To avoid people ever saying that I use my assistant to create my designs, I can prove it right now that I do them on my own. All of you are going to do a live broadcast."

They were immediately excited.  Watching a beauty draft designs, who wouldn't want to watch that?

But, her next words…

"You have said that I do not compare to Designer Shen and Designer Ming. Since Designer Shen is not here today, how about I do a live broadcast with Designer Ming?"

Ming Rui was immediately shocked and tried to slip away.

Alas, Wan Jia had already seen her. "Is Designer Ming getting away? Surely it can't be because you can't do it, right?"
