Chapter 89 Jiang Ning Tried and Fooled

Go Jiangning!

Before the semi-finished product was even brought out, cheers of encouragement for Jiang Ning rang out from the audience.

Jiang Ning looked up and saw Yuan Pei standing up in the audience, waving at her.

She was taken aback, only to see Yuan Pei being warned by the staff and slinking back to his seat.

It was already surprising enough that Yuan Pei came to the jewelry design competition, but Jiang Ning didn't expect him to cheer her on in public. This left Jiang Ning even more bewildered and speechless.

On the adjacent workbench, even with her exquisite and sweet makeup, Chu Qingxue couldn't hide the dissatisfaction on her face.

What does Yuan Pei mean?

Are you only encouraging Jiang Ning?

She didn't believe that Yuan Pei could not see her, a grown woman standing on the stage right next to Jiang Ning.

Chu Qingxue was not unaware that Yuan Pei's attitude towards Jiang Ning had changed.

However, she believed that the moment she won the championship, Yuan Pei's eyes would no longer have room for Jiang Ning, and would only have eyes for her.

With a slight smile, Chu Qingxue's mood improved, and she glanced at Jiang Ning with disdain.

No matter how exquisite the craftsmanship of Jiang Ning's unfinished robot earrings is, it can never be better than her perfected design.

As Jiang Ning took his half-finished entry out of the box, Chu Qingxue's smirk gradually froze.

In the audience, Gu Qian suddenly stood up.

"Gu Qian, what's wrong? Do you need to go to the bathroom?" Zhang Xiaofang asked curiously.

"Ah, no... it's nothing..." Gu Qian slowly sat down.

Fortunately, the auditorium was dark and the lights were all focused on the stage; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to explain his surprised and absent-minded expression to Zhang Xiaofang and Yang Nan.

Gu Qian glanced at Chu Qingxue subconsciously. Chu Qingxue's face was a deep purplish-red, and she was staring at him as if she wanted to kill him.

Gu Qian immediately lowered his head, not daring to look anymore.

Because he was very close to Chu Qingxue, Jiang Ning could catch glimpses of the changes in Chu Qingxue's expression out of the corner of his eye.

While everyone else was diligently making their own jewelry, Chu Qingxue repeatedly exchanged glances with people in the audience.

Jiang Ning knew perfectly well that the person in the audience was Gu Qian.

"Our boss designed... it wasn't a robot after all?" Zhang Xiaofang's eyes widened.

"What is that? Is it a hairband?" Yang Nan tilted her head.

"It's similar, but not entirely... There's no fabric, it seems to be all metal." Zhang Xiaofang analyzed as she looked at Jiang Ning's work on stage.

At this moment, Gu Qian completely understood—

He was tricked by Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning's entry was not a robot earring designed to be worn with headphones at all.

These days, she keeps revising and revising in front of him, it's all an act for him.

Gu Qian clenched his fists tightly, his teeth itching with hatred.

Even if Jiang Ning were to outmaneuver Chu Qingxue, Gu Qian did not believe that Chu Qingxue would lose.

Considering the several blockbuster products launched by the Lu Group before, Chu Qingxue has the capability to achieve that.

Although his anxiety gradually subsided, Gu Qian was still angry.

He felt that Jiang Ning wasn't very capable, but he was quite cunning.

He stared intently at Jiang Ning, eager to see what kind of contraption Jiang Ning would ultimately design.

Of the ten designers present, all except Jiang Ning used robot forms to fit the theme of AI.

Some people designed robot pendants, some designed robot rings, some designed robot watches, and some simply added robot elements to regular jewelry styles.

Only the unfinished products from Jiangning left people clueless.

It does indeed look like a hair towel.

The silvery-white precious metal shines with an extremely elegant luster under the light. It is made with a variety of wire drawing, weaving and openwork techniques to create a lace-like texture. It is exquisite and luxurious with intricate patterns. It is also fully set with countless small diamonds and rubies and sapphires. The gemstones are ridiculously small, but the inlay is dense, dazzling and eye-catching.

In terms of jewelry alone, the hair scarves from Jiangning are the most outstanding.

Gu Qian watched Jiang Ning, who was engrossed in operating the microscope, and the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

"I had no idea our boss had this skill!" Zhang Xiaofang nudged Yang Nan next to her with her elbow.

"Am I seeing things? How did she set it like that? I didn't even see the metal claws." Yang Nan was shocked.

In the front row, Geng Li and Luo Zhongshi, sitting in the VIP section, each had their own thoughts.

"This Jiangning..."

Geng Li spoke first, his gaze never leaving Jiang Ning.

Luo Zhongshi felt that something was not right, and his expression changed repeatedly.

Demonstrating the production process of the finished product on-site is actually a very boring thing for laymen. Yuan Pei could hardly sit still for two hours.

But in order to see Jiang Ning, he stayed up for four hours straight without dozing off even once.

With the competition nearing its end, Yuan Pei could no longer contain himself.

He needed to use the restroom.

In the CBD, far from the Blue Ocean International Convention Center, inside the Ning Group building, Ning Junzhe was watching a live stream on his phone.

Secretly.

He had been watching for a full four hours.

"Jun Zhe, are you busy?"

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Ning Junzhe quickly turned his phone face down and placed it on the desk.

Even though he moved very quickly, Fu Xinyue still saw it.

Fu Xinyue pretended to be nonchalant as she approached Ning Junzhe and began massaging his shoulders.

"If we're too busy with work, we can go look at wedding dresses another day."

"No, let's make it today!" Ning Junzhe said, but there was no joy on his face as he accompanied the bride to try on wedding dresses.

"Well, since you put it that way, I'll listen to you." Fu Xinyue smiled sweetly. "Oh, by the way, it seems that Chairman Zhao just had something to discuss with you."

"It might be related to the West Coast project..."

"Shall I excuse myself?"

"No, I'll go find him myself!"

Ning Junzhe stood up and left his office.

Only Fu Xinyue remained in the office...

He and Ning Junzhe's cell phone.

Fu Xinyue turned her phone over, which was lying face down on her desk. The screen was still lit, and the live stream was still going on.

"What? A jewelry design competition?"

Fu Xinyue twitched the corners of her mouth, utterly confused.

"Why would Junzhe be interested in something like this?"

Surely they're not picking out jewelry for her to wear at her wedding?

Thinking of this, Fu Xinyue smiled knowingly.

Just as she was about to put her phone back, the live stream camera suddenly focused on someone.

Fu Xinyue knew this person.

Seeing Jiang Ning intently crafting jewelry on the screen, Fu Xinyue's smile gradually faded.

Blue Ocean International Convention Center.

The Rising Star Jewelry Design Competition has officially entered the judging and scoring stage.

Although things didn't develop as Chu Qingxue had planned, since things had come to this point, she could only do her best to perform well.

"The earrings I designed are made of pt950 platinum and perfectly cut South African diamonds. The craftsmanship uses 3D printing and high polishing to create a cat's eye effect. They incorporate the functions of modern headphones while being futuristic and technological, which fits the AI ​​theme and is both beautiful and practical."

After Chu Qingxue finished answering, the judges gave her a high score of 90.

This is currently the first and only score above 90.

Next up is Jiangning.

Jiang Ning's design for this hairband is the epitome of luxury and unparalleled.

If other people's designs are jewelry, then Jiang Ning's are top-tier collectibles.

However……

"Contestant number one, please answer me, what is the relationship between your design and the AI ​​theme?"
