"Sure!"
Ye Li turned around and winked at Qiao Lian, "How about we make a bet?"
Jolian: ...
Looking down again, I saw the two people in the group still shouting.
[Xie Xiaoliu: Boss, this victory is unfair! With my master's skill level, the gold medal was a sure thing, wasn't it? I'm not betting on this round!]
[MaiMai03: I second that!]
Ye Li glanced at the judges who had already started scoring, then smiled and lowered her head to type.
[Ye Li: Betting on the final score, wanna bet? 9.88!]
[Ye Li: Hurry up! If you're any slower, the judges will have already given their scores, and you two will be considered to have forfeited!]
[MaiMai03: 9.95!]
[Xie Xiaoliu: 9.92!]
[Xiao Qiao: ...Wait, you haven't said the stakes yet!]
As soon as Jolian sent the WeChat message, the large screen flashed and the judges' scores appeared simultaneously.
Jolian: ...
"Congratulations to designer Xie (No. 021) for 9.88 points!"
[Xie Xiaoliu: ...Why? ? ? I don't accept this!]
[MaiMai03: !!! I will never admit defeat!]
The WeChat group was flooded with red envelopes.
On the stands, Xie Chenlu stepped back, and Wan Mingyi, the second to submit her work, took the stage.
The large screen was divided into two parts: on the left was Wan Mingyi's work, and on the right was the ranking of the top ten designers' scores.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on that 9.88.
Just a second ago I was wondering if Wan Mingyi's score could exceed 9.88.
The next second, the design drawings of the 4D model were displayed, leaving the designers either amazed or speechless.
Do you know, do you know, it should be that the green leaves are lush and the red flowers are faded!
Light green jade beads.
Bright red crabapple blossoms.
The moment Wan Mingyi's complete set of works—beaded hairpins, earrings, hair ornaments, and necklaces—appeared, the scene fell silent.
The rich and vibrant colors combined together make the intricate design appear exceptionally exquisite.
At this moment, no one thought that red and green looked bad together.
solemn.
atmosphere.
luxurious.
A style completely different from the previous work.
Yet it was equally brilliant.
Wan Mingyi explains her creative inspiration.
The judges began scoring.
Designers are speculating.
A new round of guessing games has begun in Ye Li Studio's WeChat group.
The 9.86 displayed on the big screen was astonishing.
The 9.85 score Ye Li displayed on the phone screen also shocked Xie Siyu and Mai Xiaomi.
Although she didn't guess correctly, Ye Li's guess was the one with the smallest error compared to Xie Siyu's 9.78 and Mai Xiaomi's 9.80.
They won again.
Except for Xie Chenlu and Wan Mingyi, who were jokingly called "tentacle monsters" by the designers, both of whom designed a set of works.
Other designers focus on single items.
Each has its own merits.
When the last designer's score appeared on the big screen, even the host seemed surprised, staring at the ranking for a moment in disbelief.
No. 1: Xie Chenlu, 9.88 points, Ye Li Studio
No. 2: Wan Mingyi, 9.86 points, Ye Li Studio
No. 3: Ling Xiaohan, 9.68 points, Ye Li Studio
No. 4: Yan Ziqing, 9.61 points, Ye Li Studio
No. 5: Mourning, 9.58 points, Ye Li Studio
No. 6: ...
...
No. 10: Mu Qingning, 9.29 points, Yiyan Jewelry Design Studio
"This, this, this... isn't this a bit exaggerated? I know there's no shady dealing involved, but this looks way too much like a conspiracy, doesn't it?"
"Who says otherwise? Look, the judges are all stunned!"
"Haven't you guys noticed something? From Xie Chenlu to Wan Mingyi, and then to those three designers whose names I've never even heard of, only that they're apprentices of a master, their work has been consistently at a high level from the preliminary rounds to the semi-finals and the tiebreaker finals! Their skill is just too frightening!"
"!!!"
"This is like using Tian Ji's horse racing strategy against us!!! But even in Tian Ji's horse racing, there's a lower-class horse. What makes their horses so inferior? Aren't they a bit too fierce?"
"Ye Li!"
Caught off guard by her name, Ye Li answered loudly, "Here!"
The entire audience: ...
In the judges' panel, the president of the jewelry association, sitting in the center, asked with a smile, "Are you satisfied with this result?"
"Absolutely satisfied!"
"Is there anything you'd like to say?"
"I want to say to the designers in my studio, you are the best! And I want to say to all the designers here, with dreams and ambition, anyone can be amazing!"
A round of applause erupted, as if only at this moment did everyone realize that the final was over.
"The awards ceremony is now beginning..."
The host took the stage and began introducing the award presenters who would be presenting next.
The staff moved 10 design tables to the backstage area.
As the melodious light music began, the top ten contestants took to the stage again, each one radiant with energy.
Winning is certainly a happy thing.
No one who lost was discouraged.
After all, from yesterday's tiebreaker to today's final, everyone's strength has been fully demonstrated.
One gold prize, two silver prizes, and three bronze prizes were awarded. The four designers ranked 7th to 10th are the winners of this year's Outstanding Works Award.
The audience erupted in applause.
Snap!
As the computer was closed, all the noise subsided.
The office fell silent. Dai Qingzhou stared blankly at the Diane logo on the glass door, her gaze momentarily lost in thought.
Thinking that "glory and splendor" was a thing of the past, and that Diane would be able to crush Ye Li Studio's group underfoot on the "light of time" stage.
Unexpectedly, things didn't go as planned.
The "Shaoguang" competition has ended.
