Li Wenwen frowned slightly. Clearly, she was a little surprised to be third. After seeing all the works, she felt that Lin Qingqian’s design should be able to get first place.

Lin Qingqian’s delicate facial features were especially calm. She held Li

Wenwen’s hand and smiled. “You’ve worked hard. You’ve done very well.”

Because there was a camera, Li Wenwen didn’t ask the questions in her heart.

The corners of her mouth curled up. “Congratulations.”

Luo Tianxue, who was in the audience, muttered unhappily, “What’s going on? Qingqian’s work can clearly get first place!”

Han Liubai turned his head to look at her and explained indifferently, “Qingqian’s design is too simple.”

“What do you mean?” Luo Tianxue asked curiously.

“Fashion design competitions are different from ordinary brand designs.” Seeing that she did not understand, Han Liubai explained patiently, “Brand design emphasizes everyday aesthetics, but fashion design focuses on art, and art always involves an element of exaggeration.”

Luo Tianxue nodded in confusion.

Suisui pouted. “But I think Qianqian’s design is not inferior to those strange clothes at all.”

“The simplest is often the most difficult.” Han Liubai’s gaze landed on the calm little face on the big screen, his eyes filled with admiration. “It’s already very rare for her to be able to do this.”

“Then who did you say will take first place?” Luo Tianxue asked curiously.

Before Han Liubai could answer, the big screen cut to second place. It was another male designer.

The first place was—Ming Xiao.

The scene in Ming Xiao’s lounge was played on the big screen. Ming Xiao’s exquisite facial features revealed a hint of surprise. After a moment, she reacted and stood up to hug Zhou Jinran.

If not for the fact that she was afraid of being captured by the cameras at the event location, Luo Tianxue really wanted to roll her eyes. “She got first place? Could there be a conspiracy?!”

Han Liubai said calmly, “S.T.’s fashion competition is famous tor being tair in the industry. The judges are also respected in the industry. They won’t do anything to destroy their reputation.”

In other words, there was no shady business in the competition.

“How do you know there’s no shady business?” Luo Tianxue glanced at him.

“You make it sound like you’ve participated in it before.”

Something flashed across Han Liubai’s eyes. He pursed his thin lips and did not say anything else.

The top 20 had already been confirmed. Next, the designers and models went on stage to explain their ideas and inspirations.

As Ming Xiao had gotten first place, she was the first to go on stage. When she passed by Lin Qingqian’s lounge, she stopped in her tracks and looked at Lin Qingqian in the lounge, her red lips curled up in mockery.

Especially when she saw Li Wenwen’s clothes.

Lin Qingqian sensed that there was someone at the door. When she turned her head and saw that it was her, she frowned slightly and did not say anything. She walked to the door and wanted to close it.

Ming Xiao’s red lips curled up slightly. “Even if your lousy design entered the semi-finals, do you think you can win the championship?”

Lin Qingqian’s gaze fell on Zhou Jinran, dressed in a bright red gown with a voluminous skirt. Her lips were lightly curled as she spoke, “Whether I can win the championship isn’t important. What’s important is that… you, Senior, don’t have a mishap like before.”

With that, she closed the door.

Zhou Jinran raised her eyebrows. “What do her words mean?”

The light in Ming Xiao’s eyes turned cold as she said indifferently, “Nothing.”

“I only agreed to be your model this time on President Ming’s account. I hope you won’t cause me any trouble.” Zhou Jinran’s faint voice carried a hint of warning.

She had a very high status in the industryu If not for President Ming’s invitation and his promise to invest in her new movie, she would not have lowered herself to be a model for Ming Xiao.

As Ming Xiao watched her enchanting body walk forward, the light in her eyes became even colder…

A mere actress actually dared to put on airs in front of her.

There was still value in using her now. Let’s see how she deals with Zhou Jinran after the competition.

Li Wenwen could tell that Lin Qingqian and Ming Xiao had a deep grudge. She said worriedly, “Nothing will happen, right?”

“Unless she can bribe all the judges, she can’t stop me.” Lin Qingqian looked at her firmly, indicating for her to rest assured.

Seeing that she was so confident, Li Wenwen was slightly relieved.

When Lin Qingqian and she went on stage, Li Wenwen was in charge of showing the design work to the judges again, while Lin Qingqian was in charge of explaining her creative inspiration and the entire design.

Clothing design may appear simple, but every detail requires a designer’s profound expertise. If the designer doesn’t explain, the audience won’t notice.

After Lin Qingqian finished speaking, the judges asked a few more questions and she answered them generously.

The last judge asked, “I heard that you’re Master Qi’s disciple. Everyone knows that Master Qi is a master of cheongsams. Why didn’t you make a cheongsam this time?”

This question was a little tricky.

Firstly, it implies when Lin Qingqian made her debut, she claimed to promote the traditional Chinese style. Secondly, it stirs up conflicts between Lin Qingqian and Qi Min’s mentor-disciple relationship.

Lin Qingqian tightened her grip on the microphone silently and looked at the judge who asked the question.

“My master said that Chinese culture is vast and profound. As designers, we’ve been pursuing creation our entire lives. If we only limit our horizons to a niche, it’ll be too narrow.”

If you use Master to suppress me, I’ll use Master’s words to retort!

The judge touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment and asked indignantly, “As Qi Min’s disciple, don’t you feel guilty for not presenting the design of the cheongsam on such a good stage?”

If the first question was still tactful, the second question was deliberately making things difficult for her.

In the audience, Luo Tianxue, Han Liubai, and even Suisui could hear the hostility.

Lin Qingqian’s red lips curled up slightly as she retorted unhurriedly, ‘My identity is first, a designer, and Qi Min’s disciple second. I’ve indeed let down my teacher for not designing an outstanding cheongsam all these years!

But as long as I can display an outstanding work on this design stage today, I believe Master will be proud of me, regardless of whether it’s a cheongsam or not. ”

This time, the judges were completely speechless. After all, even her master had nothing to say. As an outsider, his repeated questioning in front of the camera seemed very aggressive.

The other judges had no more questions. Lin Qingqian held Li Wenwen’s hand and bowed to the judges and audience before leaving the stage.

Luo Tianxue’s lips curved into a smile. “Aiya, I still like Qingqian so much. It’s a pity that she didn’t become my sister-in-law.”

Suisui snorted. “Your brother, that playboy, is not worthy.”

Luo Tianxue despised Lu Dongcheng’s flirtatiousness as well, but when she heard that others despised him, she couldn’t take it anymore.

“That’s because he didn’t meet his true love. When he meets his true love, the woman he falls in love with will definitely be very happy.” Luo Tianxue glanced at her from the corner of her eye. What does a silly girl like you know?

Suisui curled her lips and didn’t retort, but she was very disdainful of her words.

Su Ying tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “Don’t bully my idol.”

Suisui: “…”

Who could bully this little black lotus?

All the contestants would go to the lounge to wait for the results.

Li Wenwen changed her clothes and was about to leave because she still had work to do.

Lin Qingqian sent her to the door and watched her get into the huge van before turning to enter. From the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar Maybach stop and stopped in her tracks.

When Jiang Yanshen got out of the car, Lin Qingqian’s eyes lit up as she walked forward quickly.

“Why are you here?” She couldn’t hide the joy in her voice.

Jiang Yanshen reached out to help her sweep up her scattered hair and said gently, “I’m naturally cheering for you!”

After a pause, he said, “How is it?”

“They’re still tabulating the results. We’ll know in a while.” Lin Qingqian pulled his hand and walked into the television station.

Su Ying ran over and urged, “Sister Qingqian, the results are about to be announced. Get ready to go on stage!”

Lin Qingqian nodded and turned to look at Jiang Yanshen.

“Go, I’ll wait for you in the lounge,” Jiang Yanshen said gently.

Lin Qingqian nodded. “Xiao Ying, bring Director Jiang to my lounge.”

With that, she looked at Jiang Yanshen. “Then I’ll go on stage first.” Jiang Yanshen nodded and watched her slender figure walk towards the studio…

Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and nodded faintly. When he walked, he said in a low voice, “Go and tell Han Liubai that I’ll wait for him in the lounge.”

Su Ying: ?

She looked up at Jiang Yanshen’s tall and slender back in confusion.

20 designers stood on stage in the recording studio, nervously waiting for the judges to announce the results.

Backstage, Jiang Yanshen sat on the sofa, his warm gaze landing on the LCD television hanging on the wall.

Because Lin Qingqian and Ming Xiao were standing very close to each other, most of the time, the camera would sweep towards the two of them. The camera would only cut away when the judges announced the others.

The door of the lounge was pushed open. When Han Liubai walked in, he saw Jiang Yanshen staring at the screen with a thick and intense light in his eyes, almost overflowing.

“Why are you looking for me?” A slightly cold voice broke the silence of the lounge.

Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes. When he turned his head, the gentleness in his eyes disappeared completely, and his gaze was cold.

“When Qianqian goes to Milan, you’ll accompany her, right?” Her voice was slightly cold, but his tone was very certain.

Han Liubai’s expression was cold. “She hasn’t gotten through to the semi-finals yet.”

“She’ll get through.” Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips. His simple words were resolute, as if he had known the outcome long ago.

Han Liu’s white eyes revealed suspicion. “Jiang Yanshen, what exactly are you trying to say?”

Jiang Yanshen stood up and looked at him. As he buttoned up his unbuttoned suit, he said in a gentle voice, “Han Liubai, strictly speaking, there’s no blood feud between us.”

“If you harbor hatred against the Jiang family and me because of your mother’s depression and her tragic end, should I have crushed your bones and turned you into ashes for my father dying on his way to see your mother?”

Han Liubai’s eyes suddenly narrowed. His hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, and the veins on his hands bulged. He remained silent. “To put it bluntly, you’re just using the Jiang family as an imaginary enemy to vent your anger and make yourself feel better.”

“Shut up!” Han Liubai looked up at him, his eyes filled with anger.. “What would someone like you know?”
