It has to be said that Lian Chuchu's words were really impressive. I don't know her score yet, but it shouldn't be bad.

There are dedicated staff members responsible for tallying each contestant's score and ranking them at the end. All of this is done in front of the camera, so no one dares to manipulate the system.

【Chuchu, she's my Chuchu.】

[So touching, you truly are a goddess.]

Do you think Chu Chu will win an award?

Pray.

Even Lian Chuchu's fans were watching the live stream and praising her.

Qi Hao, positioned in the middle, also performed very well.

Nan Zhi was at the back. When it was her turn, even Chu Chu and Qi Hao looked at her, and Chu Chu even smiled and cheered her on.

"Good luck, Nan!"

Lian Chuchu didn't look at her and walked straight onto the stage.

When the clothes she designed were displayed by the models, Lian Chuchu's face stiffened, and she could no longer smile.

Because Nan Zhi designed a total of ten outfits, which was unprecedented among the previous contestants.

The contestants couldn't help but widen their eyes as ten different qipao-style outfits were displayed on the catwalk.

The yellow cheongsam is embroidered with red peonies, which are so lifelike that they make a striking visual impact.

Even the judges, who had seen many works, couldn't help but widen their eyes. This person's design was truly refreshing. Whether it was the color, tone, color matching, or details, everything was just right.

The peony on the cheongsam was so eye-catching that it left everyone speechless for a long time.

Master Qianmu sat at the lower end of the table, looking at his apprentice's work, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

Nanzhi bowed to the person below and then began to introduce her work.

"Hello everyone, first of all, let me introduce my theme, 'Peony.' That's right, the theme I chose is the peony. Perhaps in your eyes, it's just a flower, but in my eyes, the peony is more than just a flower. It represents my hometown, where the peony is the national flower. It is rich, elegant, and its graceful swaying in the air symbolizes our beliefs. This time, I designed this series of clothing with the aim of helping everyone return to their true selves. The cheongsam is a type of clothing we used to wear, but my design is not a traditional cheongsam. I have modified it to make it more convenient for people's daily activities."

As she spoke, Nanzhi began to introduce each of her works one by one.

"This dress combines the design of a cheongsam and a Western skirt. This one uses traditional cheongsam techniques with subtle modifications to accentuate a woman's figure without making her look bulky. These two floor-length gowns are designed as formal wear; they will make the wearer look more elegant and graceful, truly embodying the phrase 'graceful and luxurious.' And also..."

Nanzhi patiently explained her design philosophy for each piece, pointing out every detail and the core of each design element.

Lian Chuchu clenched her fists, watching Nan Zhi stand on the high platform in front of her, speaking eloquently. She had studied a lot of Sole's designs, and Nan Zhi's approach this time was similar to Sole's, which actually made her look better.

It's infuriating that even Chu Chu didn't realize that Nan Zhi was also studying Sole's works.

After Nan Zhi finished speaking, the crowd slowly came to their senses, followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause.

Just as Nan Zhi was about to step down from the stage, she heard one of the judges say, "Wait a moment."

Nan Zhi paused, her gaze falling on the female judge.

The female judge asked rather bluntly, "In the fashion design competition two years ago, I had the privilege of being a judge. Sole's work impressed me deeply. Nanzhi, did you deliberately learn from her design techniques in today's work? The previous contestant directly said that she got her inspiration from Sole. I wonder if you feel the same way. In my opinion, your work seems to lack your own ideas and clashes with Sole's style in many places. However, I do not deny that your work is excellent. But as a designer, I believe that one should have one's own design style, rather than blindly imitating others."

Nanzhi: "......"

She chuckled to herself, not expecting to be perceived as simply imitating.

A glint of light flashed in Lian Chuchu's eyes. Nan Zhi was simply foolish. She completely imitated Sole, and now that she had been discovered, she was probably finished.

At this point, the comment section of the live stream was also very noisy.

[Hehe, my Chuchu is so genuine.]

[Pah! They completely copied someone else's design style.]

What do you know, barking like that?

[Exactly, for us casual observers, the design of Nan Zhi is clearly more stunning.]

I really don't understand this kind of person. Why couldn't they have explained it from the beginning? They're really ruining people's reputations.

[They completely copied my Sole, shameless!]

[Hey, enough with the sarcastic remarks. Namgyal is representing China this time.]

........

Nam Chi remained silent on the stage for a moment, then smiled and shook her head:

“I did not imitate Sole’s design.”

Her words immediately caused the judges to frown, and the design enthusiasts to sigh.

"Haha, how foolish."

Some of the contestants were muttering complaints under their breath.

"Do you think everyone's blind if you don't admit it?"

"Sigh, it's a bit of a pity. He seems to have good talent."

Listening to the whispers around her, even Chu Chu's eyes flashed with smugness. Nan Zhi really dared to speak her mind. She was once again glad that she had revealed the source of her inspiration beforehand.

"So you're saying this is your own design style?"
