[Trending Search No. 1: The Dark Side of Shaoguang]
[Trending Search No. 2: Dark Horse or Behind-the-Scenes? Ye Li Studio's Entire Team Advances to the Finals of Shaoguang]
[Trending Search No. 6: Xie Chenlu and Yu Fangfei]
At a glance, Ye Li Studio occupies three of the top ten trending topics.
Especially in the so-called "behind-the-scenes scandal" that topped the trending searches, the finger was pointed directly at Ye Li's studio.
"I had someone investigate. The whole thing started on that designer forum in Shanghai called 'Sky-High Imagination.' Someone posted that the competition format was tailor-made for our studio!"
Wan Mingyi handed the phone to Ye Li.
In the "unrestrained imagination" forum, Ye Li immediately spotted YL in the currently trending post.
His eyes lit up. "Our studio logo has gone viral? So now when people see YL, they know it's Ye Li Studio?"
Wan Mingyi: ...Boss, is this the important point?
Speechless, Wan Mingyi's anxious and agitated mood instantly calmed down.
Looking back, I saw Ye Li clicking into the post and reading it intently.
[Let's delve into YL's rise to fame as a designer!]
[YL is an unremarkable third-year student majoring in jewelry design at a university in Beijing. Aside from her looks, she's probably best known as the eldest daughter of the wealthy Ye family in Beijing. Oh, and she also has a wealthy fiancé.]
[Here's the important part!]
The "Shining You" competition started in March, and YL Studio was founded in February—what a coincidence! Then, despite having only two participants, they won one gold and one bronze medal. This is the rise of YL Studio.
[They're heiresses, attending a high-society auction isn't unreasonable, right? So, it's not surprising that their works fetched astronomical prices, right? 50 million for "Hair Wrap," 90 million for "For Love"—overnight, YL Studio raked in over 100 million! Are you scared yet?!]
Following the "Charity Night" auction was the "Radiant Jewelry Competition" in Paris, where YL won a gold medal, solidifying YL Studio's reputation in Beijing. This time, the "Glorious Era" competition in Shanghai will be a crucial step in YL Studio's rise to fame in Shanghai and across China. I ask you, after tomorrow, among so many jewelry design studios in this vast country, whose reputation will surpass that of YL Studio, whose entire team advanced to the finals and won numerous trophies?
[By the way, just a quick side note. YL's husband is a tycoon from a wealthy family in Beijing, and the designer in her studio, surnamed X, has a very close relationship with the award presenter.]
The original poster included several links at the end of the post.
Ye Li's official announcement page on the Imperial University campus forum.
The official website of "Brilliant You" reports on the awards ceremony of the 19th competition.
The official website of "Charity Night" displays the auction prices of competing items and the announcement pages of the studios to which the auctioned items belong.
Following the "Radiant Glamour" finals, Ye Li received rave reviews and coverage from the official website, VG magazine, and Milan Fashion Week.
And last night, on the "Shaoguang" official website, there was a report that all members of Ye Li's studio had advanced to the semi-finals.
The organizers and judges in the photos are different, but without exception, Ye Li is always in the center holding the trophy.
Among a group of middle-aged and elderly people's photos, the young and beautiful Ye Li stands out.
There are a few other photos as well.
These are photos of Ye Li greeting the judges at the post-competition dinner.
Ye Li narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the last few photos.
In the dim light, Xie Chenlu and Yu Fangfei stood facing each other, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Yu Fangfei has an elegant smile.
Xie Chenlu's expression was deep and serious.
At first glance, they look like a pair of old friends who have been separated for a long time.
The original poster didn't mention who it was, only referring to the award presenter.
However, the people who frequent this forum are all jewelry design majors.
Whether they are well-known in the industry or internationally renowned designers, they are all household names.
Even if you've never met the judges on stage or the officially announced award presenters, you've at least heard of them.
Therefore, Yu Fangfei's face was not unfamiliar.
But when they left the venue the day before yesterday, they watched Xie Chenlu walk towards Yu Fangfei.
They had barely walked to the parking lot and gotten into their car when Xie Chenlu arrived.
Moreover, Xie Chenlu and Yu Fangfei had not been in contact at all in the past few years.
However, they know this, but netizens don't.
Such photos are too easy to misunderstand.
Whether it's forums or Weibo, the comment sections have been overrun.
"No wonder YL Studio has risen so rapidly! First there was Ye Li, who was heavily supported by capital, and then there was Xie Chenlu, who had a close relationship with the award presenter. It was bound to happen!"
"Waiting for the official announcement from YL Studio in a few hours, showing how they single-handedly dominated the spotlight! Awesome, plus!"
"Sure enough, no matter how hard we mortals try, we can't compare to these darlings of capital! What's the point of competing? Wouldn't it be better if we all just lay down and relax?"
"Those designers who were eliminated are so pitiful! They have nowhere to even cry!"
"..."
"What a brilliant use of euphemism!"
Ye Li scrolled through the comments section, noticing the overly harsh remarks, then glanced at the poster with the whimsical ID "This Society Judges by Looks," and the marketing accounts that had propelled Ye Li's studio to the top of the trending topics. She couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.
"You can still laugh?"
Wan Mingyi glanced at Ye Li, her face full of melancholy.
"Black and red are still red!"
Ye Li laughed, "Whether we got into the finals through connections or based on our own abilities, we know best. Since our strength is there, what's there to be afraid of?"
