The sky is high and cloudless, and the shining, somewhat scorching sun is emitting a steady stream of heat in the sky, forcing people to close their eyes.

"I'll wait for you here. Go upstairs and get the form."

Xie Yuan's car stopped downstairs at Shijiang and said to Shen Ling in the passenger seat.

"Well, okay, wait for me, I'll be right back."

"Don't worry, it won't start until ten o'clock."

"good."

Following Shen Ling's concise and crisp response, she quickly opened the car door and walked upstairs.

"drop."

The elevator door opened, and Shen Ling walked quickly to his office.

Skillfully took out the key and opened the office door.

He quickly walked to his seat, opened the drawer, and took out the folder that he put in yesterday.

Then skillfully close the drawer and lock the door.

With the sound of high heels clicking, Shen Ling's figure disappeared into the office.

"Have you got it?"

Xie Yuan put his hands on the steering wheel, looked at Shen Ling who was walking quickly and said hello with a smile.

"Isn't that right?"

Shen Ling raised the folder in his hand and waved his hand with a smile.

"Then let's go."

With a smile on his face, Xie Yuan watched Shen Ling fasten his seat belt and start the car.

… …

When they arrived at the design competition venue, it was already overcrowded.

Well-dressed men and women were hurriedly dispersed in every location of the venue - they were not today's designers, they were just people who were able to come in and learn from some experience through connections and connections.

The contestants who are actually going to participate in today's design competition have already taken their seats where their names are written.

"Excuse me, give me a moment."

Xie Yu'an acted like a gentleman and protected Shen Ling in front of his body, using his arms to carve out a relatively safe place for Shen Ling to ensure that she would not be squeezed by the crowds of people.

Thanks to Xie Yuan's thoughtfulness, Shen Ling smiled gratefully.

Xie Yuan just smiled and said nothing.

Soon, they walked to the front and sat down at a place with "Xie Yuan" written on it.

After Shen Ling sat down, he couldn't help but raise his head and look around.

I found that compared to the last design competition, this design competition is obviously more upscale.

The last design competition was open to everyone, but this time the design competition is obviously open to some famous designers and various well-known studios.

This can be seen from the fact that Shen Ling came here at the invitation of Xie Yuan.

And when they entered the door just now, if Shen Ling read it correctly, Xie Yuan took out a gold-plated invitation card and showed it to the staff, and they were let in.

Seeing the designers sitting proudly in their own seats and looking at the people around them with indifferent expressions, Shen Ling booed in his heart.

These are the real designers from the upper class, every one of them looks arrogant and arrogant.

In the center of the entire design arena, there are three large solid wood tables.

There are three leather sofas placed next to the table, which are obviously chosen for the scoring judges.

Suddenly, Shen Ling remembered something very serious.

"Hello,"

Shen Ling bumped into Xie Yuan,

"Um?"

Xie Yuan looked at Shen Ling doubtfully.

"Our entries have been prepared in advance. Do they match today's design theme?"

After knowing that the little guy next to him was worried about this matter, Xie Yuan smiled with some understanding.

"This design competition has no theme."

"ah?"

Shen Ling opened his mouth in surprise.

"Well, not only that, today's design competition does not require drawing on the spot. You only need to submit the things you have prepared and give them to the judges for review."

"But in this case, how can we ensure the authenticity of the game?"

"Such a competition itself does not need to guarantee authenticity."

Xie Yuan smiled.

"ah?"

Shen Ling was even more surprised.

Looking at the face in front of him, which was exquisite but full of doubts, Xie Yuan suddenly felt a little itchy.

He subconsciously stretched out his slender fingers and gently scratched Shen Ling's nose.

"Silly boy, the water in the design world is not as clear as you think."

"A competition like this is meant for those who are capable."

"As long as you can produce a work that is enough to make yourself famous, no matter what means or channels you use to get it, as long as no one exposes it, it is your work."

Xie Yuan said this ruthless thing with a calm expression.

Surprised by Xie Yuan's sudden and unusually intimate movements, Shen Ling pushed her body back uncomfortably.

Seeing that Xie Yu'an's expression was as usual and there was nothing strange about it, Shen Ling suddenly felt that he was a little sensitive.

But right now she still had more questions that she wanted to know, so she couldn't care less about the strange feeling.

"Then...what if it's plagiarized?"

"Generally speaking, such problems will not arise."

"Because people who have the courage to plagiarize must have made all the preparations in advance and will not let the situation you mentioned happen."

"Isn't that unfair?"

“Isn’t it fair to those designers who have worked so hard to make their own mobile phones, only to have their works plagiarized by others?”

Xie Yuan asked back.

Seeing Shen Ling's affirmative gaze, Xie Yuan smiled again.

"Why do you think no one exposed them? Those who can come here today are all well-known figures in the design world."

"The fact that they dare to do this means that the original designer of that piece of work has received enough benefits and of course he will not betray it."

"In other words, this is originally a mutually beneficial thing. There is not so much fairness at all, and naturally there is not so much unfairness at all."

Xie Yuan explained patiently as if teaching an ignorant child.

"this……"

Shen Ling was speechless. While he was surprised by the cruel rules of the competition, he also suddenly understood how rare it was to have fair rules in the previous design competition.

She seemed to suddenly understand why her mother had decided to remain anonymous and not shine in the design world.

This kind of place is really not suitable for someone as clear as my mother.

"You shouldn't be so surprised. There are actually not that many people who bribe designers to fake their works. It can only be said to be a minority."

"After all, once you become famous, it means that there will be a steady stream of orders coming to your door. If the one-time work is a bribe, then he will be controlled by the designer she bribed for life."

"Besides, most of the bodies that can stand here have their own pride and would not bother to do such a thing."

But Shen Ling was not comforted by this. She was still in a daze, thinking about this matter.

It turns out that the real design world is like this, no wonder...

Many things that I didn't understand before were suddenly explained in an instant.
