Chapter 54 What to do? Coax?
Helena found it difficult to find a job.
Either they didn’t accept her CV or gave her a blank stare: [A designer who plagiarises can’t come to our company].
Some of those who knew her, or had dealt with her before, politely refused: “Our design position has been filled and the ad hasn’t had time to be taken down yet. Next time, if we are still looking for someone, I will definitely call you in advance.”
Helena stood at the roadside.
There was a feeling of being abandoned by the world.
She began to question life …… Who was she? Why did she come into this world? What was the meaning of her coming to this world?
Rebecca’s car stopped in front of her, and today she was the only one, so she didn’t even need to disguise herself, with a villainous condescending face: “Helena, aren’t you very powerful? How come you can’t even find a job?”
Helena couldn’t understand why she could run into Rebecca everywhere: “You stalked me?”
Rebecca ruffled her newly permed curly hair: “How would I have time to stalk you? I’m busy now, I have to work and study every day, unlike you, a hobo wandering around.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Helena couldn’t argue with that: she was indeed a jobless person now.
“By the way, I forgot to tell you last time, Linda is now my instructor for a ten million retainer to learn for six months. Dad said that you used to want to study design with Linda, but Dad said the tuition fee was too expensive and didn’t agree.”
Helena’s face was expressionless, but her heart ached.
At that time she could have studied for further education, Lyla did not agree, saying that the company was short of people and let her join as soon as possible.
Later she wanted to study with Linda, because in a year and a half she would be able to squeeze into the top of A City in terms of design level. Hugo said the tuition fee was too expensive and told her to study on her own.
“Helena, it’s not that I want to elbow you out. Look at you, I haven’t even come back yet and you’re already in such a bad situation.”
“……”
“Forget it, for the sake of being sisters, I’ll go back and plead for you. Is it better for you to go back to the Yip family and continue being a parasite than to be kicked around now?”
Helena was not easy to be bullied.
She walked to the car window and bent down, her gaze cold: “Rebecca, I know very well Linda’s process of accepting students, you must hand in your own work when you go for the interview. Without work that satisfies her, she won’t accept you as a student even if you have a hundred million.”
Rebecca’s smile suddenly faded, and her eyes began to flicker.
Helena pinched her chin and forced her to look at her, “You stole my manuscript and artwork to take to the interview, and then came to show off how good you are in front of me, well, I hope you can stay good, don’t ever let Linda find out about your bad painting skills.”
Rebecca was embarrassed as she shook off her hand and said stubbornly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t steal anything. I’m in a hurry to go see Linda, so you’re on your own!”
Rebecca drove off.
Helena continued to submit her CV, all to no avail.
Wendy was afraid she would get depressed and dragged her out to drink.
She couldn’t get drunk, and the more she drank, the more sober she became: “I can’t swallow this, I have to enter this design competition. If I can’t enter as an individual, I’ll register a company.” She then slapped herself in the face.
The Yip family had made it impossible for her to find a job, and Jasper was deliberately targeting her.
Jasper had set a threshold for the competition: individuals, studios, small organisations and individual companies were not eligible to enter.
She must register a joint stock company.
The registration capital for a registered individual company is 100, 000 and for a registered joint stock company is 5 million.
Five million? She only had 70, 000 from Jasper. She was frustrated, bumping the table with her head. Jasper was not angry with her.
Wendy said, “Why don’t you go back and coax him?”
Helena flatly refused: “Who am I to coax him? He uses the Yip family to disgust me. As I said, I have a temper too, I’m not that easy to be bullied.”
Because of her anger, she had not been in touch with him.
A few days ago Nate called and asked when she would go to the base for training, she directly refused: “Fuck the training! You tell Jasper, I’m not participating the fucking wilderness survival marathon.”
She didn’t know if it had anything to do with her, but anyway, Jasper had switched the time.
The jewellery design competition was launched early and Wilderness Survival Massonra was pushed back to the end of the jewellery competition.
There was a one-week entry period for the Jewellery Design Competition.
One month lead time for the work.
A half-month period for expert selection.
The final announcement of the winners took place in the largest pavilion in A City, in a show style.
There were a total of five prizes available from Jasper: First prize of three million, second prize of two million, third prize of one million, fourth to tenth place prizes of two hundred thousand. All others were considered participation prizes of five thousand.
Submissions would be made on a company basis, with a maximum of ten submissions per unit.
Helena was so angry that she punched the table: “Ten copies! Ten copies! I can enter any company and my work can be sent in. If I can’t fucking hold them down, I can hold down Rebecca, and that is enough!”
Wendy held her hand, afraid that she would hurt herself by pounding on it, “Helena, calm down and think about it, what did you chase after him to get married in the first place for? Didn’t you want his help?”
With a buzz in her head, Helena was awake.
Yes!
Didn’t she seek him out for help?
How did it turn out that the backer was gone, and there was an additional enemy who joined hands with Hugo?
Wendy poured her wine: “When you seek him out, you are the underdog. As the underdog, how c can you fight with him? Did you get any advantage of it? No! Who got the advantage?”
Helena murmured, “The Yip family, Rebecca, they got the advantage.”
Wendy said, “Yes! Because of this collaboration, the Riley family became the Yip family’s dog, and Scarlet didn’t dare to touch Rebecca anymore even though her reputation had been ruined by her. Linda accepted Rebecca as a student, I think it is related to Jasper.”
Helena had never thought about this, only that Jasper was disgusting her.
If she didn’t bow down, he kept disgusting her and the Yip family kept getting the advantage. Having gained an advantage, Rebecca came to show off in front of her again.
Wendy gave her a message, “Jasper’s birthday is coming up, so buy him a present and send it to him. If he accepts your gift, he can’t ignore you.”
“What if he’s not going to take it?”
“If you don’t take it, you’ll get another gift and find a reason to approach him. The more times you approach, he would be more likely to stop being angry.”
“……”
“Helena, trust me. I can feel it, he has a place in his heart for you and you can coax him. That marriage certificate is a piece of paper in your case, but it’s really a marriage certificate in his.”
Helena thought: she was not afraid of abuse, but she did not want the Yip family to take advantage of him. What to do? Coax him?
