As Lian Chuchu spoke, a look of worry appeared between her brows. "Weiwei, I believe in your abilities. As long as you can get a ranking, I believe Brother Gu Ying will also have high hopes for you. For the person you like, I think you should give it your all."
Li Weiwei pondered for a while and thought it was feasible. The competition was about to start, and if she got a low score, she would have no chance.
If anyone else had told Li Weiwei this, she would have refused. But this was Lian Chuchu. Since freshman year, Li Weiwei had become good friends with Lian Chuchu. If you were to ask who Li Weiwei trusted most in the world, it would be Lian Chuchu. In her mind, Sister Chuchu's image was even greater than that of her parents.
In the end, Li Weiwei nodded in agreement.
The next day, Lian Chuchu gave Li Weiwei a stack of design drafts. Li Weiwei looked through them and found that they were indeed immature drafts, so she was relieved.
Before we knew it, it was September 1st, and all sixty designers arrived at the examination hall early.
The association set up examination rooms inside, just like the imperial examinations in ancient times, where each person had a small space to design their long-prepared design.
The time allotted was two hours, which made this first session quite easy. There were no restrictions on the subject matter, and everyone was given ten days to prepare.
Everyone was diligently drawing their own design drafts.
No one is allowed to leave early, and after completing their design, they must present their work on stage and explain their design intent.
Two hours later, they took turns going on stage to give their presentations in the order drawn by lot.
Each person who went on stage explained their design very clearly. It was a 10-point system. The first 30-odd people had already received their scores. The seven judges would remove the lowest and highest scores and summarize the final score.
"Sister Chuchu, keep it up! My score seems pretty good."
Li Weiwei finally felt relieved. Compared to the people before her, her score was quite high, all thanks to Sister Chuchu.
Lian Chuchu smiled at her. She had already looked at the thirty-odd people in front of her, and she was very confident in her design.
Lian Chuchu's achievements are not fabricated; please remember that she has the aura of a female lead.
When it was Lian Chuchu's turn, she displayed her work, which truly amazed everyone present. Even the association president sitting below took a second look.
"President, this is not bad."
The vice president next to him whispered in his ear, while the president stared at Lian Chuchu and said:
"It's really good."
Compared to the previous ones, he is indeed a person with ideas.
The scores given by the seven judges were also very high, almost all of them above nine points. There was only one score of eight or so, which was given by the president. The other judges were not surprised, as this was the first score of eight given by the president.
Lian Chuchu suddenly became the center of attention. No one else recognized or had ever heard of her, and they were all incredulous that a young girl could design something so well.
"Sister Chuchu, you're amazing!"
Lian Chuchu tucked her hair back and said modestly, "I'm still far from it."
The two people who were paired with Lian Chuchu also came over and congratulated her.
The man's name is Qi Hao, and the woman's name is Song Mengmeng.
"Chuchu, you're amazing. It's my honor to be on your team this time."
Qi Hao's eyes lit up, as if he had found a treasure, and Song Mengmeng felt the same way.
These two have already competed, and their scores weren't bad, slightly above average. Even Chu Chu smiled and said:
"There's still a lot to come, and we don't know how it will turn out. You two have done very well, so let's cheer each other on this time."
Even with a personality like Chu Chu's, she wasn't arrogant; on the contrary, she was very humble, which made her two teammates like her even more.
Thinking of Nanzhi who was still waiting there, Lian Chuchu couldn't help but smile.
Nanzhi's number was 52. By the time it was her turn, Anran had already passed the test and her results were pretty good, ranking around the top eleven or twelve out of the top fifty.
Cheng Yi always drew numbers at the back of the list; this time, although it wasn't sixty, it was fifty-eight.
"Nanzhi, you have to keep going!"
An Ran came over to encourage her, and Nan Zhi took her work onto the stage.
After her design was placed on the display stand, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
A look of excitement flashed in the president's eyes; this work was simply perfect.
Their eyes were full of hope as they looked at Nanzhi. This girl's design was bold and innovative, far superior to anything before. Such a work could probably win an award if it were compared on a global scale.
The president was incredibly excited. Could he finally find a talented man this year?
"My designs are aimed at girls. According to surveys, most girls nowadays prefer clothing that is lightweight yet simple, and also looks good and is comfortable. So I designed this outfit. The inspiration came from a gemstone I saw before. Although it had no regular shape, it was extremely beautiful in my eyes. This outfit adopts that natural feel. I hope that the women who wear it can blend into nature and feel their own uniqueness. Furthermore..." (Regarding the clothing design, this is purely made up.)
After Nanzhi finished explaining her design intentions and the reasons for designing each part, there was a few seconds of silence.
Until the president first clapped his hands, and then a round of applause followed.
The president's eyes turned red. This is a real talent! The nation's fashion design is about to regain its former glory.
Nanzhi's scores were exceptionally high, all above 9.5, and the president even gave her a high score of 9.9, adding 0.1 to prevent Nanzhi from becoming arrogant.
Everyone stared at Nanzhi in disbelief. It was incredible. They thought he was just a beginner, but he turned out to be a master.
Even Chu Chu's face turned pale; she hadn't expected Nan Zhi to achieve such excellent results.
Jealousy and resentment spread through Lian Chuchu's heart. These things should have been hers, but Nan Zhi had taken them away.
His fist clenched tightly at his side. Li Weiwei noticed and stepped forward to comfort him.
"Sister Chuchu, you don't need to care about Nanzhi. So what if she has good grades? Her mother is that kind of person. What right does she have to compete with you?"
Upon hearing this, Lian Chuchu glanced at Li Weiwei, a glint in her eyes. She had previously told Li Weiwei about Nanzhi's mother, which she had heard from Xu Yao.
For some unknown reason, a hint of resentment flashed in Lian Chuchu's eyes. Lian Chuchu curled her lips and looked at Nan Zhi.
Cheng Yi's subsequent performance also shocked Nan Zhi. His design amazed everyone, and his score was very high. In the end, his result was similar to that of Lian Chuchu.
The vice president addressed the president:
"President, this year's contestants are quite extraordinary."
Upon hearing this, the president nodded with a smile, "It seems that the successor of the association has been found."
