The association's successor—that's someone who inherits the chairman's mantle. Upon hearing this, the vice-chairman was surprised and couldn't help but ask:

"President, are you planning to choose from among them?"

The president looked at him, "No way?"

The vice president nodded. "Of course, do you have your eye on Cheng Yi?"

The president remained silent, but his gaze fell on Nan Zhi, who was waiting there. He decided not to rush and to observe her performance before making a decision.

Finally, the scores from the first round were used to rank the teams.

Nan Zhi ranked first, Lian Chuchu second, and Cheng Yi third, with no difference in scores from Lian Chuchu.

Li Weiwei actually ranked ninth, and the fourth place was also a woman from Li Weiwei's group.

Anran ranked fifteenth.

Speaking of which, the rankings of Nanzhi's group are all quite high, with two of them even in the top three.

This inevitably put pressure on the others, especially Lian Chuchu. Her two teammates, one in their teens and the other in their twenties, were far inferior to Nan Zhi.

Even Li Weiwei's team members were all ranked very high.

Lian Chuchu gritted her teeth inwardly, thinking that Li Weiwei was nothing to fear.

However, even if she performs well in the first match, there are still two more matches to go. And Nanzhi is destined not to go far.

The first day of competition passed just like that, and the second day was the team competition.

Each group met up after leaving the association to discuss tomorrow's match.

The team competition involves drawing a theme within a group, having four hours to create a piece together, and then showcasing the work. There is no limit to the number of pieces that can be submitted.

Today, we're mainly here to build rapport and decide what each person will be responsible for tomorrow.

Nan Zhi and Cheng Yi went to the hotel where An Ran was staying. Their home was too far away, and An Ran was staying at a hotel not far from the association.

There are other participants in the competition here.

Unfortunately, by sheer coincidence, Chu Chu and Li Weiwei's team members were also at this hotel, and the place they had arranged to meet for their discussion was also here.

Upon seeing Nan Zhi, Lian Chuchu walked over to greet her, "Nan, congratulations!"

A gentle smile graced her face, as if she were genuinely happy for Nanzhi.

Nan Zhi glanced at her but didn't say anything. Lian Chuchu looked at Nan Zhi sadly, her face full of grievance, "Junior Nan, I know I'm not as good as you, but please don't ignore me, okay?"

Lian Chuchu was followed by her own group members, as well as the three people from Li Weiwei's group. Upon hearing Lian Chuchu's words, they all turned their gazes toward Nan Zhi, their expressions quite unpleasant.

If being number one means you can ignore other people's greetings, then everyone here is ineligible to speak to Nanzhi. That's utterly arrogant.

Nan Zhi really didn't want to pay any attention to Lian Chuchu; this woman no longer bothered to pretend to be innocent in front of her.

Nan Zhi smiled slightly, staring at Lian Chuchu, "Since you know, then don't talk to me."

Upon hearing this, even Chu Chu's eyes widened, and the hurt on her face became even more obvious. She covered her mouth, and her eyes reddened without hesitation.

Nan Zhi: "..." Why do I suddenly feel like a heartless man?

"That's right, Miss, I also think you're a heartless man."

The meow machine made a sound, confirming Nanzhi's idea.

Seeing Nan Zhi's arrogance stemming from her first-place finish and her bullying of Lian Chuchu, Li Weiwei was furious. Without thinking, she walked directly in front of Lian Chuchu and glared angrily at Nan Zhi:

"What gives you the right to be so arrogant? What gives you the right to bully Sister Chu Chu? To be honest, you don't even deserve to participate in the competition, and you're not ashamed of yourself."

Nan Zhi raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on Li Weiwei's face, then she chuckled softly:

"You really like to stand up for your sister Chu Chu. I really hope you can always treat her with such sincerity."

Lian Chuchu frowned slightly, a subtle light flashing in her eyes. What did Nan Zhi mean by this?

Li Weiwei ignored Nan Zhi's words, "Don't try to sow discord. Sister Chuchu is a million times better than you. Nan Zhi, so what if you got first place? Your mother actually seduced her own brother, causing their family to be ruined. What's there to be proud of?"

Her voice was loud, as if she wanted everyone to hear it. This was something Lian Chuchu had heard from Xu Yao and then relayed to Li Weiwei's ears. To her, Nan Zhi was Lian Chuchu's nemesis, and Li Weiwei was not afraid to embarrass her.

Upon hearing Li Weiwei's words, Nan Zhi's smile vanished, her eyes dark and unfathomable as she stared at Li Weiwei for a moment before finally speaking:

"Who told you that?"

Startled by Nan Zhi's gaze, Li Weiwei froze on the spot, a sense of fear rising within her. Her throat tightened, and Lian Chuchu grasped her hand, saying:

"Weiwei, this has nothing to do with you, don't stick your neck out for me."

Lian Chuchu's words emboldened Li Weiwei, who breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking:

"What? Are you afraid of others hearing this? No matter who said it, what I said is the truth. Your mother seduced her older brother, which ruined their whole family. If you don't believe me, go ask her. I didn't lie. I don't want to deal with someone like you anymore."

After saying that, Li Weiwei turned and left, pulling Lian Chuchu along with her, her steps hurried, as if a wolf was chasing her.

Nan Zhi stood there, frowning and thinking for a while. People around her had already started pointing and whispering about her. Since she was the first place winner in the first competition, the other contestants felt that Nan Zhi was not worthy of participating in the competition.

Song Mengmeng, who was on the same team as Lian Chuchu, looked at Nan Zhi with a disdainful expression. "Does someone like this deserve to participate in the competition? Tsk tsk tsk, she is a disgrace to the fashion design industry."
