The sun was shining brightly outside.
The venue was brightly lit.
The area was dark, with a red carpet leading directly to the venue.
The Imperial Art Museum, which can accommodate more than a thousand people, became the venue for the 19th "Brilliant You" Jewelry Design Competition.
On the high platform is a huge high-definition display screen, on which the competition name, official logo, and organizer information are clearly displayed.
Below the platform, the first row is the judges' seat.
All seats from the second row onwards are occupied by participating studios and contestants.
The organizers were meticulous; they even labeled the areas of the participating studios on the backs of their chairs.
At first glance, among the vast XXX studios, "Ye Li Studio," with only two seats, appears all alone.
Looking back, Ye Li, dressed in a white dress, appeared elegant and composed, as if she were there to receive an award rather than to participate in a competition.
Wan Mingyi took a deep breath, held her head high, and followed Ye Li to sit down next to her.
A stunningly beautiful woman with an excellent appearance and outstanding temperament.
It is still the smallest studio among the more than 100 studios participating this time.
As soon as Ye Li and Wan Mingyi sat down, they saw gazes coming from all directions.
Momentum, the most important thing is momentum!
Silently cheering herself on, Wan Mingyi overheard Ye Liwen's muttered complaint, "If I had known, I should have just brought a few incompetent people to fill the seats! Ugh, I don't want to be a gorilla being stared at! So annoying!"
Wan Mingyi: ...
In the blink of an eye, the venue was full.
The melodious music gradually faded, and applause accompanied the introductions from the speakers as the host made a grand entrance.
Introducing the experience of hosting "Brilliant You" over the years.
For example, industry leaders, those outstanding designers who rose to fame through competitions and subsequently gained renown both domestically and internationally.
This was to encourage all the participants and new designers in the new competition.
The hall erupted in applause.
When the host introduced the 10 judges for the competition, the applause almost lifted the ceiling of the venue.
As the largest jewelry design competition in China, the judges are always a major selling point for the organizers in each competition.
This time, the organizers invited international jewelry design master Pamir from Paris.
Ye Li, with her sharp eyes, spotted a bright red figure on the judges' panel. She was startled, and then the host's introduction rang in her ears: "The last judge is Ms. Jiang Wanruo, the vice chairman of the Imperial Capital Charity Association."
It really is her!
Ye Li's heart sank slightly.
She is a stunningly beautiful woman and the chairperson of a charity gala for a wealthy family in the capital.
Wan Mingyi could clearly feel that the designers around her were clapping even more enthusiastically.
When I turned around, I saw Ye Li clapping absentmindedly.
Wan Mingyi turned her head and asked, "What's wrong? Did you run into someone you know?"
Although Jiang Wanruo was Fu Yanci's college classmate.
She is still the best daughter-in-law in her mother's eyes.
However, aside from meeting once at the Qin family banquet, she and Jiang Wanruo had no other interaction.
acquaintance?
Not really.
Ye Li shook her head. "No."
When I came to my senses, the competition had officially begun.
"Held every two years, we would like to thank the talented designers for participating in our 19th 'Shining You' Jewelry Design Competition. This year, we received 981 design works from 372 studios across the country. Next, we will shuffle the original order and randomly display the works of each designer."
The host walked to one side of the stands, and the large screen changed, displaying the first artwork.
There is no studio name.
There was no designer's name listed either.
All the design drawings were specially made white drafts for the competition.
Only the studio and the designer themselves can tell whether a work is their own; no one else knows.
After each artwork is exhibited, a red rejection stamp or a green approval stamp is stamped on it with a bang.
Some people cheered with joy.
Some people were disheartened.
It was just a preliminary round, but the atmosphere in the venue was incredibly tense.
As soon as Wan Mingyi's work appeared, Ye Li heard her catch her breath.
The 15-second exhibition felt like an eternity.
Just when Wan Mingyi felt like her eyes were about to stop moving, with a bang, green appeared on the big screen through the seal.
"Ye Li!"
Exclaiming in surprise, Wan Mingyi tightly grasped Ye Li's hand.
Their eyes met, Wan Mingyi's face was full of surprise, while Ye Li remained calm as if she had expected it.
Almost the instant he heard Wan Mingyi's exclamation, Chen Jiayuan knew that the artwork just now belonged to Ye Li's studio.
On one hand, she felt that it was Ye Li's work, after all, Wan Mingyi called out Ye Li's name, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the other party had a calm and confident demeanor.
On the one hand, she felt that it was Wan Mingyi's own work.
The thought of the latter possibility made Chen Jiayuan clench his fist.
Having been together for three years, Chen Jiayuan was well aware of Wan Mingyi's talent in design.
How could she have made such rapid progress after only a few months apart?
Or was it that she had been keeping secrets from him all along when they were together?
Unsure of the exact reason, Chen Jiayuan, who had been lounging in his chair, subconsciously sat up straight.
For more than an hour afterward, neither Wan Mingyi nor Ye Li made a sound, so Chen Jiayuan had no idea which work from Ye Li's studio had been approved or rejected.
