At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

UU said, "Whoever puts in the most effort for this party will naturally be the best performer, right?"

"So, who contributed the most?"

Su Che stared at UU's mischievous little face, which was full of scheming, and probed.

"Of course, it's to come up with the main plan for this party! First come, first served, so little fan, you have to reward me first before I can sell you this complete plan. That way, it'll be a fair deal between us! Hehehehe... Speaking of which, there's no time like the present, and there's no time like the future. I see you can still move your arms and legs, so why don't you come with me to the astrology room tonight and let's have a good divination?"

Chapter 289 Surpassing the Goddess

The girls were in an uproar when they heard that a big event was going to be held at home.

If the Mosse competition represents the PK between the "Seven Colors" team, it is a battle for the glory that the head of the family cannot afford to lose.

So UU's Christmas event means it's a personal competition among all the cats in the house, a contest of luck.

The contestants this time are "everyone", from band members and the lead singer to the unknown apprentice maids and the little maids who have long been eager to go their separate ways. The opportunity is fair, and everyone can have a chance to show themselves in front of their master.

At this moment, Su Che was still "stargazing" with UU in the underground astrology room. Although he didn't know why they hadn't come out after 18 hours, it was perfectly reasonable for UU, as the main planner of the event, to still be discussing important matters with him since she hadn't been home for a long time.

In a room on the second floor, Bai Qiao summoned a group of maids and was busy assigning tasks.

"You understand everything now, right?"

"Understood!"

"For Christmas, you should dress up beautifully so that the young master can be pleased with you!"

"The house should be decorated to create a festive atmosphere, and the environment should be kept spotless!"

"We want to make the young master feel comfortable, so that he can easily have a good experience with us and relieve his stress!"

"Very good. It seems you all understand."

Bai Qiao nodded with satisfaction and then waved directly at a certain trainee maid:

"Miss Tang, come with me to the new room later. I'll take you to meet someone. The three of us need to quickly design everyone's outfits and produce the finished products within a few days."

"Oh... I understand."

Tang Tang nodded repeatedly, thinking that this might be an opportunity.

If you do it well, you might get more attention from the Lord.

"Okay, Yuezhu, you're in charge of buying daily necessities, decorations, and candy."

"Okay, like toffee and almond nougat?"

"Yes. It needs to be sweet enough, plentiful enough, with some extra Christmas chocolate, and pastries from the buffet that evening."

"clear."

Jiang Yuezhu nodded, a plan forming in her mind. She pondered, "I plan to buy rows and rows of opera cakes and mousse mille-feuille, and make them into banana boats. Then I'll arrange them into a formation... maybe the master will like it."

"That's a great idea. Let's go with it."

Bai Qiao nodded slightly, indicating her appreciation.

At this moment, Lin Xi raised her little hand.

"Little sister Xi'er, do you have any thoughts?"

"Yes, yes! My family owns a bakery! So, it seems we can offer quite a few delicious pastries on the day!"

Her face flushed, she added, "Although I can only play the piano, my sister is really good at it! Every single one of her desserts is super delicious! I can ask her to make some for me to bring over! Hehe..."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiao immediately became interested.

"Your family actually runs this kind of shop?"

"Yes, yes, the shop is not far from Riverside Street, it only takes 2 hours to get there round trip."

Lin Xi volunteered, saying she wasn't afraid of the trouble.

"In that case, it's time to give you a chance to show your skills."

White Chocolate is a generous person who never secretly suppresses any of the maids. This magnanimity is the key to her good reputation among the maids.

She said, "Here's what you'll do. Just make a list of the costs for making the pastries, and we'll pay for it. You can also invite your sister to the Christmas party as a temporary maid. That way, she can help with the plating and bring all those things with her. It's a win-win situation."

"Ah...is this really okay?!"

"of course."

"Then, then I'll tell my sister right away! She'll definitely be very happy!"

Lin Xi happily picked up her phone, seemingly off to share the good news.

Bai Qiao looked around and, seeing that everything was almost arranged, concluded:

"Everything else is fine. By the way, there have been a lot of new faces at the house lately. When you're talking to those ladies, please try to keep smiling and don't show any negative emotions on your face. That's basic etiquette for maids. Got it?"

"understood!"

The maids nodded in agreement.

The meeting has concluded.

Soon, Bai Qiao led Tang Tang towards room number 11.

Room 11 was originally a single room reserved by Jiang Yuezhu.

But after Ari arrived, no matter who booked the room, it could all be transferred to her and become her own.

This led to the second maid's dream being shattered on the spot, and she returned to the "maid lounge" once again... Every day, Emo would mutter to herself in there, expressing her dissatisfaction with the arrival of the goddess.

However, she believed that her master would not give up on her so easily and would eventually come up with a new solution, so she continued to live her life as before and did her work well.

At this moment, Tang Tang, who was following the head maid upstairs, had no idea who she was about to face.

"Qiaoqiao, who's inside? You said you'd take me to collaborate with her or something... Is she an artist too?"

As an assistant designer, Tang Tang would call the head maid by her pet name in private, without much restraint.

After all, the two were partners and helped each other with the design, so Bai Qiao would naturally give her the green light.

Hearing Tang Tang's question, Bai Qiao turned her back to her, finding it difficult to answer.

It's worth noting that Tang Tang's online ID is "Want to Defeat the Great Demon King Ari"...

So who is the person inside the door?

That's so hard to guess.

Bai Qiao had considered whether she could complete this event on her own, without Ari's help.

The answer is obvious—it's a dream.

With less than five days until Christmas Eve, we need to design everyone's Christmas dresses, the maids' uniforms, and some decorative items. How can two people possibly have enough energy in these five days?

Even if someone is incredibly skilled and designs a garment in just three days, shouldn't the time cost of making those clothes also be factored in?

Bai Qiao can make clothes herself, but she is faced with the task of "making about 20 original outfits".

If the design part distracts her, she won't get any sleep; even working 24 hours a day might not be enough to finish it.

Therefore, asking Ari for help became the only option.

dong dong dong.

"Miss Ari, are you there? I'm the head maid, I'm coming in."

She pushed open the door.

When Tang Tang heard her say the word "Yali," her first reaction was that she thought she had misheard.

However, as the head maid opened the door, Tang Tang saw the image of a woman in front of the dressing mirror inside, a woman so beautiful that she made Tang Tang feel inferior. The next moment, she was slightly stunned.

Although she had met Ari before, after all, Ari's mother was the owner of "Toffee Art Studio," Teacher Hana.

But that was when I was a child, and many years have passed since then.

Compared to her current fully-fledged form, Ari in that year was three parts more innocent and five parts less cold and lustful.

So even after hearing Bai Qiao shout out the ID, she was still in a state of disbelief.

The preconceived notion is—

"Impossible. The top artist in the art world couldn't possibly grow up to be such a beauty in real life! If that were the case, wouldn't her life be practically cheat code? What flaws could she possibly have?"

Tang Tang could not accept it.

However, Ari's next words gave her the answer.

"Long time no see, Bai Qiao, and... oh? Tang Tang, is that you?"

Yali turned to look at the doorway, her face showing surprise, as if she was astonished by Tang Tang's presence.

"I didn't expect you to have infiltrated this castle. And it seems you even knew your identity before I did?"

She glanced at Tang Tang's apprentice maid outfit and pondered for a moment.

That was the maid outfit that Bai Qiao made for Tang Tang by hand, symbolizing her extraordinary identity as a designer.

Now that Ari has come into view, quite a bit of information has been leaked.

Enemies meeting again are bound to be extremely hostile.

Tang Tang gritted her teeth, feeling utterly overshadowed by Ari's stunning good looks in that one encounter. She couldn't help but sneer and ask Bai Qiao, "Is this the person you wanted me to collaborate with?"

"Yes, Miss Tang, please don't get agitated."

Bai Qiao tried to smooth things over between the two women, but she seemed to have oversimplified the feud between the painters.

From Tang Tang's perspective, Yali was exceptionally talented from a young age, came from a prestigious family, and grew up to be like a goddess, achieving fame and success in the art world with ease, as if she had never encountered any obstacles.

Such a smooth life is vastly different from the effort and hardship of studying in Japan to gain prestige, staying up all night for a degree, and working multiple jobs to save money for one's family.

Even more critically, even after returning to China, in terms of hard power, she is still several levels behind Bari, and it seems that there is no possibility of her surpassing her at present.

This is a despairing kind of despair, a grief-stricken despair.
