What Bai Yan and her assistant placed on the display stand was a colorful floral fabric, reminiscent of a traditional Northeastern Chinese cotton quilt.

How can you possibly make high-end clothing with such flashy materials?

"My God, how did Bai Yan get such material? Isn't she doomed to lose?"

"This isn't fair, is it? Why is this kind of material given to Bai Yan?"

"She got into the competition through rigged means, so what's the point of talking about fairness? Besides, Song Sisi's materials weren't even that good, so how was she able to produce such a result?"

The audience comments are arguing.

At this point, the model who originally belonged to Bai Yan requested to withdraw.

"What tattered fabric! I won't wear it!"

Wearing such colorful clothes, how will she ever establish herself in the fashion world? She'll be laughed at to death.

“Angelina, if you withdraw from the competition, all our contestants will be out of contention. This is a breach of contract!” Bai Yan’s assistant said.

The female model named Angela looked utterly disdainful: "I don't need that little bit of breach of contract fee."

She originally came to the competition aiming to compete against Song Sisi, a genius designer and the future mistress of the Pei family, but unexpectedly, she was assigned to Bai Yan, a designer who graduated from a mediocre university.

Thinking about the things between the two of them, Angelina decided to play a trick on Bai Yan by withdrawing as a model, thus embarrassing Bai Yan.

This can also be considered an indirect way of currying favor with Song Sisi.

Bai Yan looked at Angelina, "Are you sure you want to quit?"

"No matter how much you beg me, I'm quitting!" Angela said, crossing her arms.

The assistant standing nearby looked anxious. "If she withdraws, you won't have any models. How are we going to exhibit the clothes?"

The person in charge of the program said at this time, "Ms. Bai, we have already made arrangements for you, but no models on site are willing to help you."

"If the exhibition cannot be held by the deadline, you will have to withdraw from the competition."

Bai Yan's expression turned cold, and she was about to speak.

"Xiao Yan, you design menswear, and I'll be your model, okay?"

Shen Mubai, who was originally sitting in the audience, came up at some point and said to Bai Yan.

The person in charge was about to speak when Shen Mubai gave him a cold look.

Bai Yan smiled slightly and said, "Of course."

Angela smiled seductively and leaned close to Shen Mubai: "This kind of floral fabric is barely good enough for women's clothing, let alone men's. Mr. Shen, don't ruin your image just to please your little lover."

But Shen Mubai simply frowned and stepped aside.

Angela's face darkened. Damn it, with such a sexy figure, those stinky men don't even look at her...

Bai Yan was pleased with his sense of propriety, and curled one side of her lips, saying, "Miss Angelina, just don't regret it."

“I regret it, just kidding!” Angela retorted sarcastically.

Bai Yan turned around and returned to her display stand.

When making clothes for Shen Mubai, she didn't need to take measurements or draw patterns; she simply cut the fabric according to the image in her mind.

Looking at Bai Yan, who was serious on the stage, Shen Mubai felt that she was radiating light.

An hour later, all the models presented their work.

Song Sisi was very satisfied with her design. With high votes from the judges and the audience, she couldn't help but glance at Bai Yan.

She wanted to see what kind of designs she could come up with using that kind of tacky material.

"Isn't it difficult to design something with a high-end feel using this kind of material?"

"I feel like Bai Yan's chances are slim!"

As announced by the host, Shen Mubai changed into the designed outfit and slowly stepped onto the stage.

It was still the same patterned fabric, but on Shen Mubai, it looked completely different.

He wore beach shorts and a simpler shirt that exposed his chest and abdomen from the neckline, revealing glimpses of his well-defined eight-pack abs.

"Is this high-class? This is downright vulgar! Hehehe, eight-pack abs!"

"Mr. Shen is a male Bodhisattva, and Bai Yan is a female Bodhisattva. I love this outfit!"

"Besides, what's not high-class about it? Only vulgar eyes see everything as vulgar. I like it!"

"Regardless of the negative rumors circulating online, her design skills are truly outstanding!"

Firstly, the male beauty is a factor, and secondly, Bai Yan's design perfectly reveals Shen Mubai's arrogant and unruly personality. Even though he is showing skin, it is not vulgar; on the contrary, it makes him appear mysterious and alluring.

Mystery itself is a kind of sophistication.

After seeing the design on Shen Mubai's outfit, Song Sisi knew she had lost... She had to admit that Bai Yan's design talent was truly superior to hers.

But on what grounds?

She almost stole her parents away, and now she's going to steal her design talent too?

The audience's applause and the number of online votes have already determined that Bai Yan has won again.

Applause erupted from the audience. On stage, Song Sisi looked at Bai Yan, who raised an eyebrow slightly, her smile provocative.

Song Sisi clenched her fist tightly. What was she so smug about?

Talent is worthless!

What makes her think she can compete with her? Isn't she just relying on Shen Mubai? Yes, Shen Mubai is capable, but how big is his empire? If the Song and Pei families join forces, they can easily destroy him.

...

"cheers!"

Shen Yi raised his wine glass: "Uncle congratulates Xiao Yan on winning first place in this competition."

Bai Yan took the drink, took a sip, and then said, "Uncle, the celebration banquet is a bit early. I haven't won first place in the final competition yet."

Shen Yi waved his hand happily, "I'm just happy. The Pei and Song families have spent a lot of money to promote Song Sisi. Now that this 'genius designer' has failed miserably, the value of both companies' shares has depreciated considerably."
