"Why are you guys so perfunctory to me? I thought the people from Brother Siyan's company would make me feel at ease! I didn't expect..."
Gu Qianxue looked extremely pitiful, as if she had suffered a great deal of injustice. With tears welling up in her eyes, she stared at Ding Ruola.
"Hey, can you guys tell good from bad? If you don't understand, don't just talk nonsense!" Jiang Chen was seething with anger as she watched from the side.
She had originally thought that since Mr. Clodia was hospitalized due to an injury, their studio wouldn't be able to come up with a great design.
Unexpectedly, Ding Ruola, who seemed like a mere vase at first glance, presented a design that left everyone gobsmacked.
It was even better than Mr. Clodia's works!
Everyone had been working hard these days, burning the midnight oil.
Jiang Chen was quite confident in this design. But now it was being called trash by these people!
She lowered her head slightly, rolling her eyes at Gu Qianxue and Lucy.
She licked the corner of her mouth, looking impatient and disdainful. She just thought these two girls were too pretentious.
"Oh? You guys..." The blond - haired, blue - eyed man with a full beard seemed rather surprised.
"I think every design by every designer deserves respect. It's just that everyone has different aesthetics. I think you're overreacting," Percy shrugged his shoulders, looking a bit helpless at the two girls.
He bent down to pick up the design draft that Lucy had thrown on the ground. After taking a look, he was extremely surprised and couldn't help but flip through it carefully.
He looked up at Ding Ruola in shock, sizing her up from head to toe as if trying to see through her. "Did you design this? It can't be... Where is DIMO? Do you know him?"
Percy looked at Ding Ruola with a complex expression. He simply couldn't believe that this little girl had designed this!
He couldn't even believe that this little girl was DIMO! But the design in his hand was clearly the work of the great DIMO!
Back then, the European Chief Design Association invited DIMO to join their team, but the invitation was rejected. They didn't even know who this person was.
This person was as mysterious as a dragon that shows only its head but not its tail. When participating in some important international competitions, their works would appear but the person wouldn't. Or they would show up wearing a mask for just two seconds and then disappear without a trace.
The major media were at their wits' end about this person.
Unexpectedly, he had seen this person's work here!
Percy was a bit excited. He took three quick steps and came right in front of Ding Ruola.
Just as he was about to hold her hand, he realized he was being a bit over - enthusiastic and managed to control himself.
"Miss, could you please tell me where DIMO is? Can I go and meet him?"
"I'm still not very clear about the ³ Design Theory. I hope I'll have the chance to learn from the great DIMO."
"Speaking of which, this ³ Design Theory was proposed by the great one. Apart from the great one themselves, no one else can understand it better. They're like my teacher..."
Percy looked very sincere, his eyes shining with a bright light.
"Um, well, I'm DIMO," Ding Ruola twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Back then when she was working at Pandora, her identity was exposed. Mr. Gusen was afraid it would affect her normal life, so he informed the company's internal staff to block the news and keep it confidential.
Otherwise, if Ding Ruola's identity as DIMO was exposed, it would surely cause a huge stir in the media and design circles!
It would probably stay on the hot search for three days!
Percy's expression became even more complicated.
Gu Qianxue and Lucy beside them were also completely stunned.
DIMO? How could it be? The big shot that the European Chief Design Association had been tracking and investigating?
Gu Qianxue certainly knew about DIMO! But she just couldn't believe that Ding Ruola was DIMO!
She had thought she had become very excellent. She thought only she was worthy of being by Professor Fang's side! But she never expected...
Her expression was a bit dull, and a few crystal - clear teardrops involuntarily rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
With a trembling voice, she said, "Is Miss Ruola really DIMO? Do you have any evidence? It's so easy to impersonate a great one who is indifferent to fame and fortune and never shows up. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Absolutely not! Every work by the great DIMO is worth at least one million. I wonder how much you're paying?"
Percy flipped through the contract, and it said 500,000.
The man immediately burst into laughter, with nothing but sarcasm on his lips.
"Oh, my goodness! You're offering such a price for the great one's work! I can't believe it! My God! Let's not even talk about the value of this design. Just looking at the garden structure."
"The ³ Design Theory is used in the middle, which can optimize the effects of the entire garden in terms of viewing, resting, recuperating, and soothing emotions. There won't be any problems with ventilation and drainage either."
"On the contrary, the garden design will make the wind direction and air flow in a pleasant way. The humidity change in the garden throughout the day can always be maintained at the most suitable value for the human body. It's extremely beneficial for the old gentleman's recovery. It might even help him live a longer life."
"What did you say just now? Malpractice for money? Don't make me laugh!" Percy shrugged his shoulders and pointed at Lucy, who was looking completely confused, with a look of disgust on his face.
"You've already invited DIMO. Why did you invite me? Hmm? Miss Gu, why? This must be a fate bestowed by God that I've met DIMO! Hahaha." Percy was extremely excited.
He was one of the several senior members of the European Design Association and was in his thirties or forties, but at this moment, he was as happy as a child.
When everyone heard that Percy was invited by Gu Qianxue, they more or less understood what was going on.
Gu Qianxue first invited Ding Ruola to do the project. But just as the design was completed, she invited Percy and even her friend to humiliate Ding Ruola's design.
Now she's been slapped in the face, huh? She's really outsmarted herself.
When Gu Qianxue came to her senses, she looked panicked and flustered. She quickly looked at Mrs. Gu, Gu Tingjun, and Yin Han.
She was unable to defend herself. "No, it's not like this. Mr. Percy came on his own. I went to play with Lucy. She was with Percy at that time. When we were coming, Percy just came along."
When Lucy came to her senses, her expression was also very complicated. She felt like a clown being watched by everyone.
A great one worshipped by the world didn't understand design? The work they designed was trash? She must have been out of her mind to say such things!
Hearing what Gu Qianxue said, Lucy glared at the girl angrily. "What are you talking about? You're really good at shifting the blame. Didn't you ask me to invite Mr. Percy? And you told me to come here and keep humiliating this designer's work."
Lucy crossed her arms, looking extremely angry.
"You were the one who ordered me to do this, and you even taught me what to say. I've really seen you for who you are. I regarded you as a friend, but you used me as a pawn. I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"
