Hearing Nan Zhi say that, An Ran felt relieved. "Okay, but do we have to go out to eat with her?"
Today we have just arrived in Country F. Tomorrow there will be a pre-competition ceremony to introduce the participating designers from which countries, and to explain the competition rules. The competition will begin the day after tomorrow.
Nanzhi paused, then said:
"Today is a day for everyone to eat together, so don't overthink it."
An Ran pouted, "I don't know why, but I just feel that she's fake. I don't like people like that."
Even though they hadn't spent much time together and had only exchanged a few words, An Ran felt that Lian Chuchu was fake and somewhat hypocritical.
Nan Zhi smiled and said, "It'll only be four or five days. Don't make it too obvious. This time we're representing the country. At least in front of outsiders, the five of us should act like family."
"Okay, let's call her when we go out later."
An Ran sighed, clearly agreeing with Nan Zhi's words.
The two chatted in the room for a while, when the vice president of the group sent a message saying they were going out to eat, so the two went out to find Lian Chuchu.
Seeing the two of them, Lian Chuchu, who had just finished a phone call, immediately smiled with delight.
An Ran glanced at her and said:
"Let's go, the vice president is calling us out for dinner."
Lian Chuchu reached up and tucked her hair behind her ear, nodding and saying, "Thank you, An Ran, for coming to call me."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and took her arm.
safely:"......."
Wait a minute, we don't seem to be that close.
An Ran glanced at her awkwardly, then said, "I need to go to the bedroom to find something. You two wait for me."
After saying that, she brushed aside Lian Chuchu's arm that was holding hers and ran into the bedroom.
Lian Chuchu watched her retreating figure, gritted her teeth inwardly. How could she not have felt An Ran's resistance? It must be that Nan Zhi had spoken ill of her to An Ran.
So what? She lives closer to Anran, so she'll always find a chance to become good friends with her.
The six of them went out to eat together. After leaving the house, Qi Hao and Lian Chuchu spontaneously walked together.
Lian Chuchu turned her head, smiled, and said to An Ran:
"Anran, let's go together."
safely:"......."
She felt that even Chu Chu was being so deliberate, even though they hadn't had a particularly good relationship before.
Nan Zhi's lips curled slightly, deliberately ignoring her. Could it be that she wanted to isolate herself?
"No, I'll walk behind."
An Ran waved her hand and took Nan Zhi's arm.
Lian Chuchu nodded, somewhat disappointed, and walked ahead with Qi Hao.
The hotel restaurant is on the first floor, and that's where everyone eats.
The restaurant was already quite crowded. Nanzhi glanced around and saw that the hotel was full of contestants from various countries.
The people sitting in the restaurant, both men and women, were mostly elderly.
Of course, there are also those who are younger and look like they are thirty years old, but they are very rare.
Their arrival also attracted everyone's attention. Of the six people, apart from the vice president and Qi Hao, who seemed to be there to participate in the competition, the others were all too young, looking to be under thirty years old.
Are these people just passing by?
Some people have already started whispering about it.
"Maybe they don't have any decent designers there, so they just find some kids to participate in the competition."
"We don't need to pay any attention to contestants like this."
"Terrible! What do they take international competitions for? Child's play?"
The whispers of the crowd inevitably reached Nan Zhi and the others' ears. The vice president looked rather grim. In previous years, they hadn't had any outstanding designers, but this year, being looked down upon by this group of people made him extremely unhappy.
"These people are so condescending."
Qi Hao, unable to contain his anger, blurted out a complaint. The vice president turned to look at him and said:
"Don't worry about it, just focus on preparing for your competition. As long as you get good results, people won't keep saying these things to you."
Upon hearing this, they all nodded.
When faced with a major event, everyone's hearts were unusually united. Even Chu Chu was only thinking about competing for a higher ranking. Of course, it would be better if she could beat Nan Zhi.
The following day, at the association's venue in country F, the participating countries were introduced, and the rules of the competition were explained.
This competition was fair and just.
Each person has only one chance to design a series of clothing, which will take five hours and must include no fewer than five sets. The designs must be submitted to the association after completion.
The organizers will have people rush to produce each person's work as quickly as possible.
There was a one-day break in the middle for me to prepare my speech and introduction. On the third day, the competition was held in two separate venues. Two hundred design enthusiasts from various countries voted at the event, and there was also a judging panel composed of world-class senior designers.
To prevent cheating, no one's information will be disclosed before the evaluation.
Most importantly, models will be showcasing the clothes they designed, and the contestants will then give explanations and interpretations. The judges' scores will account for 70% of the total score, while the scores from design enthusiasts will account for 30%.
After the meeting ended, it was already past 1 p.m.
An Ran dragged her weary body, sighing, "Ugh, it's so hard. Why is life so difficult?"
This rule is absolutely cruel. If someone is feeling unwell or lacks inspiration, they're doomed, and they only get one chance.
Lian Chuchu chimed in, "It is indeed a bit difficult, but for Junior Sister Nan, getting first prize should be no problem, right?"
Nanzhi: "......"
