Ivy: "Next year, next year we will definitely be able to do it."

Wen Ran: "???"

Li Wan also walked over, put her hands on Wen Ran's shoulders and rubbed her: "It's okay, we will participate in the 'Apollo Competition' together next year."

Wen Ran's dizzy mind finally got online.

She turned her eyes twice on the faces of Ivy and Li Wan, opened the department announcement in disbelief, and read it twice intently with sour eyes.

Among the five works selected in the second round of commercial design, her name is indeed not included.

Later, Li Wan and Ivy said some comforting words, but Wen Ran couldn't listen to them at all.

She already felt pain in her head and eyes due to fatigue, and now she felt as if her heart was being pressed down by a heavy object and she couldn't breathe.

Wen Ran pulled out the artwork he had pre-scanned.

In the artwork, there is a special bamboo ring wall with a circle of brilliant diamonds inlaid around the main stone, highlighting the pure beauty of white ice jadeite.

Afterwards, she realized that "Yuzhu", which she was satisfied with, was eliminated, defeated, and lost.

She comforted herself in her heart, knowing that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs.

However, she really wanted to know where she lost.

On Wednesday, Ms. Zhong selected her favorite work, which was by Wu Yunshan.

In accordance with regulations, the work was published.

In Wu Yunshan's work, the ring wall is integrated with elements of olive branches and leaves. The width is the same as the main stone. The color is 18k yellow. The main stone is surrounded by fine diamonds using traditional inlay techniques.

It has a sense of fashion and uniqueness, and is a good design.

But Wen Ran felt that it felt like tasting mints and caviar together.

Doesn't match.

Wen Ran took a picture of Wu Yunshan's work with her mobile phone and another one of her own, and then sent them to Zhai Chengjing together.

She was forced to prove something: [Senior brother, which work do you like?]

Zhai Chengjing was still awake and replied to the message quickly: [Second picture.]

Wen Ran confirmed unconfidently: [‘Yuzhu’? 】

Zhai:【Yeah.】

Two seconds later, Zhai Chengjing sent another message: [Whose work is the first one?]

Wen Ran thought for two seconds and typed: [I know a designer, can you tell whose work the second piece is? 】

Zhai:【Yours.】

Wen Ran:【Why?】

Zhai:【Your style.】

Wen Ran: [Is that why you said the second picture is better? 】

Zhai:【Of course not!】

Zhai: [It is indeed yours that is better.]

Zhai:【More than a little.】

Zhai Chengjing's firm words did not make Wen Ran's heart drop.

Wen Ran hesitated for a while and went to find Ding Yao.

Wen Ran: "Mona, are you free?"

"certainly."

"I just saw Teacher Wu's work."

Ding Yao understood immediately. She stood up and pulled out a chair for Wen Ran: "Come and sit."

Her caring behavior made Wen Ran a little embarrassed, so she quickly cheered up and said "thank you".

Ding Yao spoke first: "You want to ask where your work was lost, right?"

Wen Ran nodded.

"Actually, I really think your idea is very good. As for why you were eliminated in the second round, I don't know. The above must have their own considerations. You know, I don't participate in the judging, and I don't know the criteria for elimination." See Wen.

When Ran didn't say anything, Ding Yao added, "You are still young and have many opportunities. I am very optimistic about you!"

After Wen Ran heard her words, she knew she wouldn't get any answers. For the sake of fairness in this competition, Ding Yao stayed out of it.

When Wen Ran left, Ding Yao said in a very serious tone: "Your work is really good."

Wen Ran smiled politely: "Thank you, Mona."

Returning to his workstation, Wen Ran opened his own work and Wu Yunshan's work and put them on the same page.

Her fingers unconsciously clasped the edge of the tablet.

She remembered what Ding Yao said just now.

——Your works are really good.

She also recalled what her teachers and senior brothers had said to her.

——You are very talented.

——Your design is great.

...

Are these compliments sincere and sincere?

Or is it a scene talk?

For the first time, Wen Ran began to doubt himself.

After Ivy finished what she was doing, she turned her head and saw Wen Ran still looking at the tablet in her hand.

She couldn't understand why Wen Ran was frustrated for the first time in his life.

So pretentious.

But Wen Ran's face, with a lost look, really made her lose her temper.

Ivy slowly passed by: "Wen Ran, okay, what's the big deal."

Wen Ran turned his head, his eyes dull, and nodded: "I know."

Ivy breathed a sigh of relief: "Then stop looking, you won't be able to see a single flower anymore."

Wen Ran put down the tablet obediently and stopped reading.

She raised her head slightly. Outside the window, she could see the blue sky and the branches of the village.

Suddenly, Yan Wangshu walked past the horizontal window. His appearance was meticulous, his posture was graceful, and he looked like an insignificant person.

It was him who killed his own work.

Wen Ran suddenly understood her emotions. She had been waiting for so many days until the final winning work came out.

She compared and questioned.

It’s not about not admitting defeat, not admitting defeat, and not accepting defeat.

She wanted to know where she lost.

She didn't want to be confused and stop at a fixed place and circle in the company of her teacher and senior brothers. She wanted to journey to a far away place.

Therefore, if she wants to break out of her current predicament, she must first understand the reason.

And the only person who could tell her this reason was Yan Wangshu.

After get off work, colleagues packed up their things and left one after another.

Since Ding Yao came, there has indeed been a culture of not deliberately ‘working overtime’.

Ivy packed her things: "Ran Ran, aren't you leaving yet?"

"I'll wait a little longer."

"Then I'll leave first." Ivy closed the computer.

"Ok, bye."

Wen Ran was doing some trivial tasks, focusing on the window outside the window.

The sky is gradually getting dark, even the branches outside the window are disappearing into the darkness, don’t shake

Wen Ran looked at the time on the tablet and saw that it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

She sighed, raised her hands to support her head, stared blankly at the horizontal window, and muttered to herself: "Why doesn't he leave?"

There is an old saying that says Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

Yan Wangshu and Qin Xiao walked past the horizontal window one behind the other.
Chapter completed!
