The model was clad in fiery red, but that wasn’t what caught everyone’s attention. What truly surprised everyone was the model’s makeup — her entire face was dominated by a huge smile. At first glance, the makeup seed too bizarre.
Okay, the makeup was not the main focus; it was the clothes that were the the of the day. Their gaze shifted back to the clothing, and the more they looked, the more joyful they felt. When their eyes accidentally returned to the model’s face, the previously bizarre makeup only added to their joy, with no trace of its initial peculiarity left.
Before everyone could recover from their joy, the second piece was presented. First, they looked at the model’s makeup, which was quite plain this ti, lacking any distinctive features, and could even be considered dull. Then, they looked at the clothes. As they continued to watch, they gradually detected an underlying tone; the model wearing these clothes seed angry, as if the clothes were an extension and expression of her rage.
It was too unbelievable!
Then ca the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh pieces...
With the presentation of these seven pieces, the crowd actually went through a full spectrum of emotions: joy, anger, worry, contemplation, sorrow, suffering, and lancholy. After the last lancholic piece, everyone still eagerly awaited the next, looking towards the backstage exit, but after a while, no one else ca out.
A judge loudly lanted, which made Mai Qiqi and Wan Chu’er burst into laughter.
It took the host longer to recover than other designers, and with so embarrassnt, he took the stage: "Today, I believe everyone, like myself, has truly had an eye-opening experience. This collection is too... too... shocking." He struggled for a mont before reluctantly using ’shocking’ to describe his feelings.
"Alright, may I now invite designer Zimu to the stage."
Yu Zimu walked onto the stage with a composed and serene deanor.
Lin Jiayi and Rose, sitting in the front row, both appeared a bit stiff, each flashing a hint of foreboding.
"Good evening hosts, judges, and audience." Yu Zimu began calmly.
As soon as he spoke, Rose stood up abruptly, her eyes wide with horror as if she had seen a ghost, trembling as she pointed at Yu Zimu: "You... you..." She couldn’t finish her sentence.
The crowd turned their surprised gazes toward her, and Yu Zimu gave them a faint, inquiring look. Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but think that this Yu Zimu was really an. His appearance had changed, but his voice had not, it seed intentional to mock Rose.
Lin Jiayi quickly pulled Rose back to her seat, asking, "What’s wrong?"
Rose ignored her and stared at Yu Zimu, demanding, "What... what’s your real na? Where did you co from?"
Yu Zimu shrugged with an expression of speechlessness, deliberately saying, "Is Miss Rose so admiring of my work that she’s so anxious to know my personal information? No need to rush, everyone will find out. I am the design director Zimu from Ti Studio."
The crowd was amused by Yu Zimu’s words, finding him quite humorous for teasing a competitor like that.
Beneath the stage, Mai Qiqi said proudly, "Look, look how high our Director Yu’s status is. He’s silently made such an impression, while Lin Jia’s is just unbearable to witness."
Jiang Lingling and Wan Chu’er both chuckled at Mai Qiqi’s words.
When Lin Jiayi heard that Yu Zimu was from Ti Studio, she was dumbfounded; Ti was Wan Chu’er and Jiang Lingling’s studio! They had kept it a secret from her! She had thought that only the fool Jiang Lingling made it to the finals.
For a mont, her heart was in turmoil, deeply concerned that today Yu Zimu might win over Rose. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yu Zimu’s work was more engaging and creative. Today’s gold was supposed to belong to Zhi i Studio, and if it were stolen by Wan Chu’er’s Ti... She couldn’t bear to imagine that scenario; it would enrage her!
anwhile, after hearing what Yu Zimu said and observing his deanor closely, Rose silently relaxed. This Zimu probably wasn’t that fool; even though the voice was the sa, they must not be the sa person. That man’s right hand was ruined, and he would never be able to hold a pen or paint again.
Rose gave an apologetic smile and said, "Sorry for losing my composure just now. It’s just that Mr. Mu Zi’s design was stunning."
Yu Zimu chuckled coldly to himself, maintaining a composed expression: "It’s fine."
Below, Wan Chu’er was sowhat perplexed by Yu Zimu. What was he doing? Did he find it more amusing to toy with Rose?
After the interruption from Rose, the event continued, and the host invited Yu Zimu to introduce his design.
"People are inevitably driven by various emotions and desires. The essence of clothing is to serve humans. In my design, I see clothing as an extension and expression of these emotions, aiming to use fashion to alleviate these feelings and achieve a unity between person and garnt," Yu Zimu explained. As he finished, a judge exclaid, "Well said!"
Yu Zimu nodded to the judge like a gentleman, earning the favor of the audience.
Among the judges were several big nas in the design industry who couldn’t help but discuss the topic with Yu Zimu on the spot. The audience listened to a lecture on fashion design that was sowhat beyond their understanding.
Others were not so affected, but Lin Jiayi beca more anxious the more she listened. As things stood, it would only give Zimu more ti to show off and gain the judges’ recognition, which would be very disadvantageous for Zhi i Studio.
Anxious as she was, Lin Jiayi had no solution.
Finally, the judges concluded their discussion and began scoring.
Ten points, ten points... ten points, nine points.
Unbelievably, there were nine tens and one nine, one point more than Rose!
Rose wasn’t too bothered - she knew there were always people better than her, as she wasn’t the best even internationally. But Lin Jiayi was almost contorted with frustration, and without waiting for the final result, she excused herself early from the venue, claiming she felt unwell.
The thought of watching Wan Chu’er’s so-called Ti Studio beco the biggest winner, and seeing Wan Chu’er and Jiang Lingling’s smug satisfaction, was a nightmare!
If Lin Jiayi had stayed, Jiang Lingling would certainly have taken the opportunity to mock her. Better out of sight, out of mind.
It seed Rose was still lacking a bit. Lin Jiayi felt a touch of dissatisfaction with Rose and started to ponder what to do next. So sches quickly entered her mind.
The final round lasted two and a half hours before finally concluding. Yu Zimu deservedly won the gold award. Jiang Lingling finished second to last, one spot better than the preliminary round. Despite this, she was very happy.
Progress was good, even if it was only by one spot. That was an unexpected joy, as Jiang Lingling excitedly remarked.
Besides, their Ti Studio’s Director Yu had taken first place. That was enough.
The one presenting the award to Yu Zimu was none other than Yan Hui, who gave strong support. After congratulating Yu Zimu, he publicly asked once more, "Did you say you are from Ti Studio?"
Upon receiving a confird response, Yan Hui smiled and said, "We’ll be entrusting you with the clothing for our corporate executives in the future."
There was no better advertisent than Yan Hui’s personal endorsent! All mbers of Ti Studio were almost ecstatic, drawing intense envy, jealousy, and resentnt from the other contestants.
Fortunately, Lin Jiayi wasn’t there to witness it; otherwise, she might have been green with envy to the point of breathing fire.
