How did I get back to my seat with General Manager Dai?
When does the final start?
Jolian didn't know.
All she knew was that this was her first time competing abroad as a new designer.
After being eliminated in the semi-finals.
Her artwork sold!!!
Moreover, it was at a price she never dared to even dream of.
A burst of applause erupted, and Jolian snapped out of his daze, only to realize that the final had already begun.
The preliminary round was selected by a judging panel, who only saw the drawings submitted by the designers on the official website's backend.
The semi-finals were decided by a battle of submissions from designers.
At the finals, the entries of 151 designers will be displayed in the exhibition hall and will be subject to voting by thousands of designers who have registered for the competition, as well as 10 master judges and special guests.
The work is new.
Apart from the organizers, no one knows which artwork belongs to which designer.
During the voting period, designers entering the exhibition hall were not allowed to communicate in any way.
The process was open and fair.
"This will be a dazzling and magnificent feast, are you all ready?"
The host's voice was booming.
The audience erupted in applause.
When the staff below the stage signaled that it could begin, the images inside the exhibition hall immediately appeared on the big screen.
Like a winding corridor, you pass through one of the safety exits of the venue and enter the exhibition hall.
After browsing around, I returned to the exhibition hall.
“Each designer entering the exhibition hall has three votes, each invited guest has 10 votes, and each judge has 20 votes. You can vote for several different works, or you can vote for the same work. Your vote is your choice! But…”
The host then changed the subject, saying, "Once the votes are cast, they cannot be changed."
"The Paris Jewelry Design Competition, Finals, is now beginning! Contestants, please enter the venue in an orderly manner."
One of the emergency exit doors was open, and staff members were guiding people in an orderly manner.
The designers, having received their number tags, filed in.
The designers who hadn't received a number looked up at the big screen.
In the back row of the hall, Dai Qingzhou turned to look at Qiao Lian, "Do you know how to vote?"
Jolian paused, then nodded in understanding. "I know."
Lydia was one of the finalists and was not eligible to vote.
Although Dai Qingzhou is Dai En's boss, she is neither a judge nor a special guest, and she has no right to vote.
Only Jolian is qualified.
Although three votes may not seem like much, in a competition, one vote is enough to eliminate several contestants, let alone three votes.
Dai Qingzhou believed that as long as Qiao Lian wasn't stupid, she should know who to vote for without her having to say it explicitly.
The scene was incredibly boring.
On the large screen, you can only see designers slowly entering and exiting, carefully admiring the works in the display cases.
The camera moves, allowing you to see the works closest to the camera, but you can only get a general idea of what they are.
Looking back at Ye Li, who was glancing at the screen and then looking down at her phone, Dai Qingzhou tentatively asked, "Ye Li, how are you doing? Are you confident about the finals?"
Ye Li looked up, a faint smile on her face. "It's alright."
? ? ?
What else could it mean?
How can it be done?
Thinking of Ye Li, who was arrogant and conceited on the field yesterday during the semi-finals.
Then look at Ye Li in front of me, dressed like a fairy, yet with a perfunctory and casual attitude.
Dai Qingzhou rolled her eyes inwardly.
Young people these days really don't understand any rules.
In an instant, Dai Qingzhou curled her lips into a smile.
Ye Li felt that she was Mrs. Fu, and even if she couldn't make a name for herself abroad in a short time, she would still be the high and mighty Mrs. Fu when she returned to the capital.
That's why they're so arrogant!
How silly, how naive!
Doesn't she know that in any industry, seniority matters?
Don't tell me she's just a newcomer without her own brand or reputation.
Even if she creates her own brand in the future, Ye Li Studio will have already made a name for itself. At exhibitions and parties, people will have to bow down to her.
I had originally planned to introduce Ye Li to some big shots in the industry at the celebration party that evening, hoping to get Ye Li on good terms with that Mr. Fu.
At this moment, Dai Qingzhou felt that... forget it!
No matter how extensive Fu Ye's connections and how much money he had, it only made Ye Li famous in the domestic jewelry circle.
Even abroad, she still had to behave herself honestly.
For a competition of this caliber, no matter how much money Master Fu spends or how many people he hires, Ye Li either succeeds or fails—there's nothing that can be done about it.
This isn't China!
Thinking about it this way, Dai Qingzhou felt much better.
As if recalling Ye Li's embarrassing state at the party where she didn't know anyone and kept running into obstacles, a smile appeared in Dai Qingzhou's eyes.
Suddenly, everything went dark. Dai Qingzhou turned around and saw staff members coming to distribute number plates.
Ye Li didn't move.
On Dai Qingzhou's other side, Jolian stood up, took his number plate, and headed straight for the exhibition hall.
Before leaving, he hesitated and glanced at Ye Li one last time.
Jolian really wanted to ask Ye Li: Ye Li, which work is it? I want to submit it to you!
That's what I thought, and that's what I did.
However, a long time had passed since she sent the WeChat message, and Ye Li still hadn't replied.
Even as she was about to leave, she didn't even flinch.
Is it confidence that you can break through the encirclement and become one of the 10 people standing on the stage?
Or, do you not want to cheat and want to rely on your own true abilities?
