"If it were me, for piece number 302, I wouldn't have chosen a cushion cut for the main body; I would have opted for a princess cut to ensure it's the most dazzling from any angle. As a common saying on the Chinese internet goes: 'Owning it will make you the most stylish person on the street!'"
The humorous and interesting remarks drew bursts of laughter from both the stage and the audience.
Ye Li looked at the next piece, "Piece number 082 is practically perfect. However, if it were me, I would reduce the number of gemstones on the chain by one carat, which would create a more delicate effect. Moreover, if the next necklace uses this design, believe me, the original owner would love it to death and would own it as quickly as possible!"
"Entry number 108..."
"Entry number 279..."
"Finally, design number 116 is flawless. However, I suggest that the designers at Fred choose the M-shaped buckle; it should sell even better."
The designers in the audience were stunned.
The five designers on stage, along with the host and judges, were stunned.
Thousands of eyes stared at Ye Li, their faces filled with disbelief.
Not only was the perfection of the work taken into consideration, but its future commercial viability was also taken into account.
While others only see the present moment, she sees a much farther future.
"OMG! Amazing!!!"
"She's so young, so talented, she must be God's favorite, right?"
"This is insane! Who is she?"
"China, Ye Li Studio, Ye!"
Applause and exclamations filled the hall, creating a lively atmosphere.
The host was unable to get into the right place several times.
After the applause subsided, he turned to the judges' panel and asked, "What did the judges say?"
"Shall we hear what the players have to say first?"
"Outstanding designers, do you agree with Ye's statement?"
Some people shrugged, indicating their utter admiration.
Some people shook their heads repeatedly, looking at Ye Li with a helpless expression: Darling, I have nothing to say!
Now, here's the question.
The host looked around and said, "So in this round, Ye will be eliminated single-handedly..."
"etc!"
A sudden interruption rang out.
On the judging panel, Miranda, a jewelry master from the American Jewelry Association, spoke up: "Ye, I have a question for you."
All eyes turned from Miranda's face to Ye Li.
Ye Li looked up.
Miranda began, "If you were a judge, who would you eliminate in this round?"
Can I choose not to make a choice?
The young and beautiful girl spoke in a clear and charming voice, like an elf emerging from the forest, lifting her skirt as she said, "There are always exceptions, and I believe that the talents of the designers on stage are undeniable. If possible, could the judges please consider keeping the six of us to present an even more intense battle of inspiration on the semi-final stage?"
"Miranda, you're my idol! Please, please!"
? ? ?
Is this even possible?
This is a competition, not a fan meeting!
Look at Ye Li, with her bright, kind eyes and pleading expression.
Let's take another look at the solemn and serious judges' panel.
The huge hall was completely silent.
Seeing Miranda looking around, the judges all nodded in agreement.
Then Miranda laughed and said, "Just as our 10 judges have decided, 6 designers will advance this round!"
Oh! Buy! Gaaah!!!
After a brief silence, the five designers on stage shouted and turned around to hug Ye Li.
The more than one thousand designers in the audience were in awe!
She annihilated them in an instant!
But then he saved them?
This is... way too crazy!
"Ye, you're amazing!"
"Ye, I love you!"
"Yeah, congratulations!!"
The congratulations and passionate declarations of love continued until Ye Li took her seat.
When the familiar ticking sound rang out again, the designers, whose emotions had been surging, slowly calmed down.
Even so, all around Ye Li's seat, designers greeted her with "Hello" and "Ye," all wanting to exchange contact information.
The semi-finals have just begun.
There's not even a hint of the finals yet.
Not to mention the celebration party after the final.
But at this moment, Ye Li's network of connections in the industry had already quietly begun to unfold.
Dai Qingzhou was stunned.
From the moment Ye Li raised her hand to speak, every move she made exceeded her expectations.
On one hand, I felt that she was only 20 years old, and this kind of madness was unique to young people, unique to college students in the ivory tower who had never been taught a lesson by society.
On one hand, I feel that this is unique to Ye Li.
The thought that she was the owner of Ye Li Studio made Dai Qingzhou feel a sense of crisis.
But soon, Dai Qingzhou shook his head and laughed.
Are you kidding me!
Dai En Studio is the No.1 studio in the capital.
Even Star Studio only ranked second because it had a talent scout like Luo Changchuan with exceptional operational skills.
What right does Ye Li Studio have to threaten Dai En Studio?
Realizing she had been overthinking things, Dai Qingzhou's tense shoulders gradually relaxed.
Jiang Chengcheng's gaze was blank.
Xiao Qiao was also stunned.
This is the first time I've realized that you can do everything you can to retain a competitor?
Is this how competitions can be conducted?
I've been working at Dane's for almost a year now. From the very first day I joined, the first thing both the HR director and her boss Lydia said to me was: "Whether you're a wolf or a sheep is up to you!"
