My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 135

"I know you're wondering why I use such a traditional blue and white porcelain pattern. Just like the name of the work, it represents the design style where tradition meets fashion. When traditional Chinese elements meet international style, it’s a perfect encounter."

Kerry watched Venus talk freely with a pride for her. His wife had grown from a schoolgirl to a great designer.

"Besides, I want more people to know about our traditional culture. I think that's the desire of every designer here." Venus continued.

Then her speech was greeted by a roar of applause. Venus bowed her head and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Meiling and found she nodded in appreciation.

She glanced over at Kerry and noticed he was smiling.

"Your description is good. I’m sure we’re going to win this time." Meiling whispered in a low voice.

Venus nodded excitedly.

"Now let's start voting."

The voting uses secret ballot. Everyone has only one vote, and can only vote for one person. The results of the vote will be presented to the board for review by Kerry.

When the person counted ballot-slips and called out the names of those voted for, Venus got nervous again. There was a designer who had a similar number of votes to her in the group of Zhijie Li. Every time Venus won by one vote, the he got one more vote to tie with her.

Suddenly the atmosphere in the meeting room became tense.

In the end, the two of them had the same number of votes. At this moment, the last vote left in Secretary Liu's hand. She looked down and noticed the writing on the vote was Kerry's. She did not expect him to vote for Venus.

Venus gripped her dress and stared at Secretary Liu.

"This vote is for Venus," Secretary Liu said suddenly.

All the members of Meiling's group cheered, except for Xinyou.

Venus was so happy. She really didn't know how to express her joy for this. She had won by one vote.

Back at the office, Venus sat in her chair and she still felt like she was dreaming. She had actually succeeded. She'd be on the cover of Fengshang Magazine.

"Venus, you really do a good job this time." The colleague who had brought her the cold medicine last time came over with a cup of coffee, his face beaming with joy.

"Yeah, Venus, you're really a blessing to our team."

"I'm not as good as you guys describe me to be. In fact, thanks to your help, I can win the competition today. It's because you guys gave me advice that I was able to create this work. I also want to thank you all." Venus stood up and said.

"Since you want to thank us, then you can't stop us when we toast to Mr. Ye at the party." a few colleagues deliberately said after hearing her words.

"I'm definitely not stopping you guys," Venus said. "You guys better get him drunk."

Xinyou didn't want to go to this party. Everyone admired Venus so much, which made her unhappy, but she had to go there. The gossip had just passed, and she couldn't cause any more resentment from Kerry.

Soon it was time to get off work. Venus planned to take a colleague's car to go to the Penglai Restaurant.
