Chapter 133 Bribing the Judges
Wen Nanxi kept doing his work and didn't even glance at her:
"Being fast is one thing, being good is another. Just because you're fast you win? How come you're so good?"
Her voice was filled with a hint of sarcasm. Zhu Youyou was so angry that her nose was crooked. She lowered her voice and said:
"Wen Nanxi, the winner is definitely me. You lost back then, and you still can't win today."
Wen Nanxi gave her a look this time:
"This is a live broadcast. You don't need to be quiet when you're saying something harsh. Everyone can hear it. You're stupid."
Zhu Youyou: ...
Damn! Forget about it!
There was laughter all over the place, and even the live broadcast room was bustling with activity.
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. I didn't expect Zhu Youyou to have a sense of humor.]
【XSWL, who knows that stupid line hits my sweet spot. 】
[Hey? Why does Zhu Youyou's design look familiar to me? Why does it look so much like my friend's graduation project?]
【??? Upstairs, please explain what's going on!】
Zhu Youyou's face flushed red from laughing, but she couldn't say anything, and she felt very suffocated.
She directly handed the prepared clothes to the staff and asked the model to put them on, and also carefully instructed the makeup matching.
After finishing everything, she sat down slowly to drink water and watched Wen Nanxi busy herself.
Wen Nanxi had just finished sewing the back of the skirt. When she turned it over, Zhu Youyou spat out a mouthful of water far away.
She stared at the clothes designed by Wen Nanxi in amazement. She was completely surprised. She had been confident before, but now she was completely panicked.
Who on earth is Wen Nanxi? How could she design such a beautiful skirt in such a short time?
She held the water cup with shaking hands and kept comforting herself.
The judges invited by Duan Ze have all received benefits from the Su family. Even if Wen Nanxi's design is better, she will definitely win!
After finishing the last stitch, Wen Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's done, please help me with the model."
Both the people in the audience and netizens were anxiously waiting for the works to be shown.
Although the design can be seen throughout, it is not very interesting when it is not worn on a person.
The host saw that Zhu Youyou's work was ready, and announced it clearly. As the lights flickered, a model wearing a silver mask walked out.
Zhu Youyou introduced:
"This is my design—Wings of Light and Shadow. I chose a special reflective fiber for the main fabric, which can reflect a soft light in the sun. I used organic cotton for the lining to ensure comfort..."
The judges nodded slightly. Zhu Youyou's design was a slim-fitting suit jacket paired with high-waisted straight pants. The choice of fabric gave the overall look a more technological feel, and some of the small designs also showed the designer's thoughts.
They all gave very high evaluations, and Zhu Youyou raised her head proudly.
Host: "Next, please invite designer Wen Nanxi to come on stage to showcase his work."
Zhu Youyou: ???
What about the scoring part?
Is it gone?
She walked off the stage in a daze, and suddenly the background of the entire stage turned into a vertical garden in a future city. The smart ecological building was full of technology, and the birdsong and flowers blended naturally with the ecology.
A model walked onto the stage in high heels and walked gracefully. You could see small sprouts growing on the ground.
The dress is a short dress in light green and off-white, just like plants and the earth.
The chest and back are equipped with small LED light strips, which seem to simulate the photosynthesis of plants. The color will change as the model moves, giving it a full sense of technology.
Wen Nanxi's voice sounded at the right time:
"Hello everyone, this is my work - Ecological Veins. The main fabric I chose is a new type of biodegradable fiber, with the texture of plant veins on the surface. It blends nature with a sense of technology and incorporates ecological veins into it..."
After the brief explanation, the entire competition venue erupted in warm applause. Several judges were simply amazed by Wen Nanxi's work. It was obvious who the winner was that he could design such an outstanding work in such a short time.
Zhu Youyou was so angry that she almost bit her teeth off, but she still smiled and congratulated him.
Just when she thought the scoring was about to begin, the host's voice rang out:
"This competition uses online voting, which takes three minutes. Please move your fingers and cast your vote for your favorite designer."
Zhu Youyou: ...
"Are you kidding me? Online voting???"
Wen Nanxi didn't expect that this action would force Zhu Youyou to swear, and he couldn't help laughing.
Duan Ze folded his arms and sat aside:
"Why, Miss Zhu is not satisfied?"
“That’s not fair!”
Zhu Youyou shouted, "There's something fishy going on! You must have arranged some online trolls in advance!"
Duan Ze's face was serious. "This vote is public. All the data is available for review. They are all votes cast by real netizens. Miss Zhu, you can apply for an investigation, but if there is no problem, you will also have to pay the price."
Zhu Youyou's face flushed, and she wanted to say something else, but then she heard Duan Ze slowly say:
"Besides, you said online voting is unfair. Does that mean it's fair if you bribe the judges?"
The whole audience was in an uproar, and even the audience who were voting raised their heads.
The three invited judges stood up and said in turn:
"Before the competition started, I did receive a transfer from Ms. Zhu Youyou's assistant, but I returned it when the competition officially started."
"I disdain to do such bribery. It tarnishes the design industry."
"For me, fairness and justice are much more important than money."
Zhu Youyou's scalp tingled: "You...you are slandering me!"
Duan Ze glanced at her and said, "I have submitted relevant evidence to the Design Association. It won't be long before we know whether it's true or not."
Wen Nanxi raised an eyebrow and watched Zhu Youyou jumping up and down, feeling very happy.
Three minutes passed in a flash, and the host said:
"The voting results are out. Zhu Youyou got 12,543 votes, and Wen Nanxi got 35,864 votes. Congratulations to Wen Nanxi for successfully completing the challenge!"
Zhu Youyou's face turned pale.
She lost.
She actually lost!
What do those assistants eat! Knowing that it was an online vote, why didn’t they hire water army for her?
The number of votes was more than half lower, which was a slap in her face!
"I don't accept it. Wen Nanxi must have hired some scammers in advance! I demand a re-count after the game."
She gritted her teeth and argued that as long as she could end the game, she would beg Su Moan to turn the situation around!
Suddenly a staff member ran onto the stage and whispered something in the host's ear.
The host waved his hand and said, "Wait! There's something wrong with the voting results!"
Zhu Youyou's expression relaxed and she looked at Wen Nanxi:
"I knew there was a problem. If you admit your mistake now, I won't pursue it. I was just saying, how could you get over 30,000 votes in just three minutes? You must have hired someone to rig the votes!"
Wen Nanxi raised half of her lip: "Are you sure?"
