Chapter 503: Really Willing to Spend a Lot of Money

Chu Yao spat in disgust, “Shameless!”

Nan Jiaojiao showed no emotion, but she thought of someone.

She searched through her contacts, found the number, and dialed.

Soon, the call was answered, and the cheerful voice of an elderly man came through, “I thought you only had Jiang Yu as a master in your heart, and couldn’t remember me.

What, when I pursued you to take you as my disciple and you refused, did you really not acknowledge me?”

Nan Jiaojiao wasn’t very interested in architectural design.

In Green City’s Nan Residence, some of the buildings she designed were actually built by Elder Nan during her early learning days—several two-story Western-style buildings, including the arch bridges and streams in front of the doors, were all replicated precisely.

By coincidence, one of Elder Nan’s good friends, a leading figure in the architectural world, visited and unexpectedly saw Nan Jiaojiao’s designs.

He praised her talent and wanted to take her as his disciple, but Nan Jiaojiao’s heart was not in it, and no matter how much he insisted, she never gave in.

“Elder Lu,” Nan Jiaojiao chuckled lightly, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got to the point, “Have you recently received a set of design drawings for a shopping mall?”

Elder Lu snorted, “Yes, I have.

Don’t think I can’t recognize it’s yours just because you used a different name.

I know every line of your design.

You submitted it to the Architectural Association without telling me, thinking it could fool those amateurs.

You really thought I wouldn’t recognize it?”

The Architectural Association held a competition every two years.

The first-place winner could join the association and receive a million dollars in sponsorship funds for further studies abroad.

“I didn’t use someone else’s name; it was my design but under someone else’s name.”

“What!”

Elder Lu immediately called his assistant over, asked something, and quickly received a reply.

Nan Jiaojiao faintly heard the assistant mention Chen Man.

“I understand.

I’ll handle this.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye before Elder Lu hung up the phone.

“Who?” asked Chu Yao.

“A friend of my grandfather, a leading figure in the architectural world and also the president of the Architectural Association.

Chen Man submitted my design under her name, and he saw it.”

“That Shen Shichu!

He’s really overstepping his bounds.

Does he think you’re dead or something?

You’re still in Rongcheng City, and he dares to openly let some celebrity impersonate your identity!”

Nan Jiaojiao pursed her lips.

It was also her fault for not really caring about fame and not wanting to stand in the spotlight.

Shen’s had no idea who the chief architect of the company was, which spared Shen Shichu a lot of trouble.

His daring was probably out of desperation—first his goods were burned, then trampled by the horses at Lu Zhenzhen’s racetrack, and the batch he acquired afterward was two grades inferior to the previous one.

Since last year’s city planning, he had been ambitiously trying to snatch Bo’s position in the marketplace, but from the start of the project, there were many mishaps.

Today might be his signal to retaliate.

Chu Yao gritted her teeth, “I was wondering how Chen Man suddenly became so popular, even getting an endorsement from the L family.

It turns out, it’s all Shen Shichu’s doing.

He really invested heavily!”

“The L family?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyelids twitched, “The director of the L family is very close to Zhenzhen.”

“Ah!”

Chu Yao slapped her thigh, “That’s it, Shen Shichu was caught cheating by Ye Shiqing, and that Zhenzhen, who loves to watch the drama, casually handed some top resources to his mistress, damn it!

Now all the attention has been stolen by Shen Shichu!”

Disgusting, truly disgusting.

Nan Jiaojiao rubbed her forehead, “Let’s wait and see.”

Chu Yao was still cursing when Sister Mi came in to take her for a shoot.

She took Nan Jiaojiao along, and who would have guessed, just so happens, they ran into Chen Man at the set.
