Chapter 2123: Imitating Her

As the words were spoken, a wail erupted around them.

Yue Yu didn’t understand what they were saying and listened intently for a long time, only remembering a name, “Is the Rose you guys are talking about really that amazing?”

“That’s just the start of it!”

Anna leaned in and said, “She’s a naturally talented designer, became famous early, has a lot of works, and has held shows, easily in the hundreds. Any award she sets her eyes on, others barely stand a chance. But—”

“But?”

Compared to the impressive successes, everyone preferred hearing what followed the turning points.

“She has a secret. When she first entered the industry, she imitated Sweetheart’s style, and at the time she was the best imitator on the market. It was only after she became famous that she developed her own style. People often try to cover up their dark pasts. After she rose to fame, she prohibited others from mentioning it. She won awards because Sweetheart wasn’t interested in those empty titles. She targeted awards that Sweetheart avoided; she wanted fame, profit, and prestige. But the way she went about it…was kind of unseemly.”

“And you still buy her stuff?”

“They’re beautiful!” Anna clapped her hands. “What girl can resist jewelry? Rose deliberately broke away from Sweetheart’s design style, so of course she would try hard to surpass it. It’s not surprising that she’s popular, and the two top designers have never openly confronted each other, so she’s always maintained a graceful image. It’s just that President Pei has always had issues with our Sweetheart. If he hadn’t prompted Sweetheart to win a few decent awards, nobody would know her. I know that earlier, Rose was so confident, spread all over the place about winning the award, but in the finals, the committee announced Sweetheart as the champion. At that time, she left with a grim face, and all announcements were withdrawn, refusing interviews. Later, for any award, she would ensure Sweetheart wasn’t interested before making moves.”

“What you say definitely reminds me. She indeed doesn’t dare provoke our Sweetheart. If she didn’t rise over the years, the label of imitator would follow her for a lifetime.”

Anna put on another earring, “I’m just buying them for fun. Whether I’ll wear them or not is still uncertain. After all, Rose indeed has problems in certain areas. I have a feeling she’ll eventually crash. This time with all the hype coming back to the country, collaborating with the perfume company, creating such a big splash, it’s hard not to notice her. I’m just here for the drama.”

Yue Yu looked around, focusing on whoever spoke, and couldn’t help but ask, “And who is Sweetheart?”

The air suddenly went silent.

Several heads turned in unison, looking at her like she was an idiot, “Seriously, you don’t even know Sweetheart?”

Yue Yu shrank back a little, “Am I supposed to know?”

“Of course! Sweetheart is! She co-founded E.Y with President Pei, our other mysterious boss. She’s at the pinnacle of the designer pyramid—beyond the top, the stabilizing force of our E.Y. You’re saying you don’t know her?”

Yue Yu swallowed hard, and with Anna’s wide-eyed explanation, her mind exploded like fireworks, snapping her awake, “A big shot!”

“Right, a big shot, all you need to know is that she’s the one who has us covered.”

The female colleague turned to Nan Jiaojiao, who had been quietly listening after preparing her milk tea, and asked, “Jiaojiao, don’t tell me you don’t know Sweetheart either?”
