"Let's begin!"
The pretty girl with a beaming smile gradually lost her smile as she opened her mouth.
In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a lively and free-spirited girl into a powerful studio owner.
"Contestant number 211, with her bold color scheme and innovative design, combines the antique and profound jade with a six-pointed star design, making her jade necklace not only exude a noble aura but also add a touch of youthful liveliness. Given time, she has a promising future!"
"Contestant number 328's ruby bracelet was decent, but the design was clever. If the designer hadn't been so nervous on stage and had performed as she normally would, having the model wear it on one hand would have created a better overlapping effect. It's a bit of a shame that she was eliminated so abruptly!"
"Number 026, Shuiyunjian, is pure and ethereal in beauty. Her only disadvantage is that number 021 in the same group is too outstanding, but I think she should be given a chance to showcase her talent on her own..."
"Number 126..."
"..."
"Number 472..."
"..."
He spoke more than ten sentences in one breath, making the already silent meeting room even quieter.
It was so quiet that you could hear Ye Li's breathing between words.
After speaking, Ye Li looked seriously at the 10 judges on the judging panel, "The 11 designers mentioned above have left a deep impression on me. If possible, I would appreciate it if the judges would consider their suggestions!"
The designers in the audience were dumbfounded.
The judges on the stage were also stunned.
We looked at each other, our eyes brimming with surprise and delight.
"Ye Li, have you dealt with these 11 designers privately?"
"No."
"You know so much about it, people who don't know the situation would think you two are old acquaintances."
"I took notes. ... I took notes on all the works that were presented from the preliminary round to the semi-finals. Those amazing designs that were unfortunately not selected were my focus. If not today, then tomorrow, I believe they will shine one day. So, today's competitors may be tomorrow's friendly colleagues?"
Some people were amazed.
Some people were skeptical.
When Ye Li showed everyone the densely packed comments in her phone's notes, everyone had only one thought in mind.
I'm totally impressed!
"Ye Li, aren't you afraid that if the judges really give us a chance, these 11 people will come back and eliminate the designers from your Ye Li Studio?"
"What's there to be afraid of? It's either the East Wind prevails over the West Wind, or the West Wind prevails over the East Wind. Isn't Chinese jewelry design all about going global through the back-and-forth exchanges among designers?"
"Well said!"
The judges nodded repeatedly.
The designers in the audience seemed to finally come to their senses.
A wave of applause erupted.
"My friends, this is true vision! No wonder everyone in Ye Li's studio advanced! Their skills are real, and so is their magnanimity!"
"Most importantly, they're so young! Ah, there's no harm in comparison!"
"No wonder he's won gold medals and is a boss; he deserves to be so arrogant!"
"..."
All the works of the 11 designers were displayed on the big screen, including some that had been seen during the preliminary rounds.
The other few were eliminated before they even had a chance to be displayed.
Different pieces of jewelry.
Different creative ideas.
Yet it was equally wonderful.
The designers in the audience were busy admiring and appreciating the work.
In the stands, the judges quickly exchanged their opinions.
When the president of the Shanghai Jewelry Association, who was in the center of the room, finished communicating with the relevant person in charge of the organizer, the room fell silent again when his voice came through the microphone.
"After consultation between the organizers and the judging panel, it was decided to adopt the suggestion of the talent scout and grant these 11 designers the qualification for an additional round of competition."
Some people stood up excitedly, shouting that this year's competition was too exciting.
Some people clapped until their hands turned red, cheering with joy at this unexpected opportunity.
After a short break, a new round of competition began.
Almost as soon as the judges announced the rules, saying that the 11 contestants in the tiebreaker could challenge the 10 finalists one-on-one, Dai Qingzhou jumped up.
What are they trying to do?
The 10 people who made it to the finals all fought their way through the preliminary and semi-final rounds.
Was it easy to get to this point?
Ye Li barely moved her lips before the judges agreed to a tiebreaker, which was already outrageous.
He'll even be going to have a one-on-one battle with the finalists?
This is... so unfair!
Dai Qingzhou's breathing became somewhat unsteady.
The host then looked at Xie Chenlu and the others, "The extra round was a bit abrupt, does anyone have any objections?"
Xie Chenlu shook his head. "No. Your guidance is welcome!"
Wan Mingyi also smiled and shook her head, appearing confident and poised.
The others smiled broadly and indicated they had no objections.
After all, the contestants who make it to the finals are all exceptionally talented and strong.
Only those who are not fully educated, like a half-full bottle of water sloshing around, will feel timid and fearful.
"Go for it! If you can take them down in a second, you'll be a finalist!"
"That's right! It's just a Chinese-style jewelry competition, and you guys have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have an encore. Why don't you roll up your sleeves and give it your all!"
"Go! Go!"
...
It was clearly a design competition that tested inspiration and creativity.
At this moment, the atmosphere was as lively as a sports meet!
Amidst cheers and shouts of encouragement, the first challenger took the stage.
"I'll still challenge contestant number 021!"
The fairy-like girl from 026 looked at Xie Chenlu with a shy smile, "Designer Xie, although this is our first meeting, you are my design mentor! Please don't hesitate to give me your guidance!"
