Chapter 39 Zhiqing First
Some people may ask, what if you insist on cheating, find a high-quality designer in advance to make a design and then steal it?
There is no prize money in such a competition. It is just a competition for designers to compete with each other in the name of the competition. The ranking of first, second and third place is just to facilitate the better development of the design industry.
Hiring a high-quality designer as a shooter requires a very high price, and there are countless outstanding ones in design competitions. Even if you really spend huge sums of money to buy design drawings, you may not be able to get a ranking, which is not cost-effective.
In addition, designers are very proud of their talents. If their works are really outstanding enough, they would rather stand out and be appreciated by others.
Once you find someone to complete the design on your behalf and happens to be ranked, that person will always rely on the shooter for future designs, which will cause countless troubles.
As time passed by, the contestants no longer had the anxiety they had before, and they all held their hearts in anticipation that they would be favored by the God of Destiny and become the top three favorites.
The judges in the octagonal pavilion picked up the more general design drawings, glanced at them briefly, then threw them aside and picked up the next one. When they came across a better one that seemed to suit their needs, they asked each other, discussed and whispered to each other.
They were discussing and arguing over the ranking of the competition.
Luo Wanwan and Lin Xiao, the elders, also leaned against each other, shaking their heads and nodding. No one knew what they were arguing about.
Following their small movements, the hearts of the contestants outside the booth were tightly grasped.
"Now that the three best works have been produced, let us tear off their names one by one."
Wu Yan stood in the center of the pavilion again, speaking meticulously with a straight face, as if even exciting things like reading out the top three could not move her rigid face in the slightest.
Following the movements of Wu Yan's hand, the audience fell silent. After this long wait, everyone's eyes turned to Wu Yan's hand.
"Third place - Cui Xiangwan from No. 346 Design Studio, Novel Design Studio"
"Second place - Designer No. 137 Meng Xiangdong from Free Design Studio"
"First place——..."
Wu Yan, who was reading out the design drawing in his hand smoothly, stopped what he was doing, frowned, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
Seeing Wu Yan's complicated facial expression, the audience started talking again.
"Where's the first place?"
"Yes, who is the first place? Tell me quickly. I'm really anxious."
"What does the judge's expression mean?"
"Isn't it shocking to be ranked first this time?"
"Ahem, Xiao Wu, hurry up and read. Why are you so dazed?"
Lin Xiaolin looked at the chaos in the audience and couldn't help coughing heavily, reminding Wu Yan who was stunned.
Wu Yan glanced at the name on the picture again, cleared his throat, and said seriously,
"First place - Contestant No. 13 Shen Zhiqing from Time Design Studio."
"Shen Zhiqing? The one who was just accused of plagiarism?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder the judges' expressions were wrong. It turned out to be a slap in the face."
"Wow! Designer Shen won the championship! Oh my god!"
"Who is Shen Zhiqing?"
Someone who didn't know asked this.
"Hi, she is the stepdaughter brought here by the second-married wife of the president of the Shen Group."
"It turns out she is a stepdaughter. Then her talent is very good. She can win first place!"
"Yes, the first place that year was Director Shen Yan and Shen, the former president of Shen Group."
"Hey? I remember, didn't Director Shen have a daughter? Why didn't her daughter inherit her talent, but it was a stepdaughter who made a name for herself in the design world?"
"This kind of thing, I can't say for sure, maybe Miss Shen has no talent."
After hearing the name of the champion, the audience exploded again, like boiling water, boiling instantly.
Shen Zhiqing smiled and straightened her chest confidently and proudly. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
She listened patiently to everyone's discussion with a smile. Although they emphasized her stepdaughter status, which made her unhappy, but when she heard them exalting herself and belittling Shen Ling, her unhappy mood was instantly covered.
Humph, and that Wu Yan, she just went out of her way to see clearly the name tag on her chest, how about making you look down on me and embarrassing me in front of everyone? I regret it.
After today, my name, Shen Zhiqing, will be completely known,
Shen Zhiqing thought proudly.
"Okay, now please ask the three winning contestants to come forward and retrieve their design drawings."
Shen Zhiqing proudly stretched out her hand to touch the non-existent folds on her skirt, then stood up proudly like a swan, looking down at the various looking eyes from all directions with a superior attitude.
The moment she stood up, she looked at Shen Ling again with a victor's attitude. Shen Ling was still sitting upright in her seat. Facing Shen Zhiqing's provocation, her black eyes brightened. Astonishingly, her expression was as calm as water. Looking at Shen Zhiqing's provocative eyes, not only was she not angry, she even smiled.
That smile was gentle and generous, and she even gestured to Shen Zhiqing.
Shen Zhiqing could clearly see the small lips opening and closing, and what she said was "Congratulations."
Shen Zhiqing was confused for a moment. She looked at the strange sister in the distance again. She saw that her skirt was slightly gathered, her legs were slightly bent, and her hands were placed flat on her knees.
The few strands of hair on his forehead that were wet with sweat clung playfully to the side of his face, and a flawless smile hung on his delicate face. Everything looked so flawless.
Shen Ling seemed to be the same sister who turned her face up and allowed herself to be coaxed. But for some reason, Shen Zhiqing felt a little uneasy in her heart. She couldn't tell where this uneasiness came from, but she felt a little flustered inexplicably.
No, it shouldn't be like this. Shen Ling shouldn't have reacted like this. Her look and actions clearly looked like she had a chance to win. But how could it be possible? She had already won the championship.
How can she be sure?
Shen Zhiqing was thinking crazily about the reason for her uneasiness.
"Designer Shen?"
Before Shen Zhiqing could figure out why she was uneasy, Wu Yan interrupted her thinking with an impatient voice.
Looking around in confusion, they all stared at him, waiting for him to go on stage to receive his design and receive praise.
Forget it, maybe she was just bluffing, Shen Zhiqing gritted her teeth, afraid of what she would do?
So, she adjusted the smile on her face and walked towards the center of the pavilion with the most perfect posture.
Watching Shen Zhiqing walk towards the high platform step by step, the smile on Shen Ling's face became more genuine, as if a hunter saw his prey walking further towards the trap he dug.
Sure enough, Shen Zhiqing still embarked on the same path as in the previous life, and Shen Ling felt a little emotional.
However, since you have made a move, I have to take the move, right?
On the pavilion, Shen Zhiqing happily accepted the gazes from all directions. Looking at the design drawing close at hand, she stretched out her jade-white hand, preparing to take it from Wu Yan's hand.
At the same time, a pleasant and crisp voice sounded from behind her,
Chapter completed!
