Now looking at the stage, all the judges gathered together, seemingly discussing the results of the preliminary round.
Soon, the judges on the stage returned to their seats, and it seemed that they had already discussed the matter.
Seeing this, everyone became fully alert.
Mo Qingyuan sat down and spoke calmly. "There are 412 contestants this time. After the judges' vote, 189 have successfully advanced to the semi-finals. Please look at the big screen."
In an instant, all the reporters were filming the front. Yang Tianwei and Xia Anhe looked at their names on the screen and smiled slightly.
Looking at the screen that flashed by again and again, the two of them couldn't help but feel secretly happy when they didn't see Yun Wanning's name.
But in the next moment, seeing the name 'Yun Wanning' at the top of the first page of results, he was stunned.
At the same time, it was not only them who were stunned, but also the media and Lu Xingchuan at the scene.
"Number one?"
Lu Xingchuan was stunned. He thought Jiang Yubai was as shocked as he was, but he didn't expect that the other party had a smile on his face.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but after that there was no other emotion.
"Congratulations to the 189 contestants who successfully advanced. Please don't be discouraged for the remaining contestants who didn't advance. The results will be better next time!"
Yang Tianwei looked at Mo Qingyuan on the stage, then looked at the reporters next to her, and suddenly a bold idea came to her mind.
"Teacher Mo, we are all studying Chinese painting. I believe I am not the only one who is curious about the first-place winner's work. After all, she didn't start painting until halfway through the time."
The sharp voice filled the entire stadium. Such words undoubtedly attracted the curiosity of other contestants, and they stopped in their tracks as they were about to leave.
In fact, anyone with a brain present could understand what Yang Tianwei meant.
Isn't it just that the judges gave Yun Wanning a backdoor? Since the competition is not fair, they must see the real situation.
After Yang Tianwei said this, she suddenly felt a little annoyed.
It seemed that this matter had not been discussed with Xia Anhe yet, but after looking back at Xia Anhe's eyes that said 'well done', he inexplicably felt more confident.
The host was also a smart person. He had just recognized Yun Wanning's identity. It would be great if he could dig out some information about the current situation.
"Contestant, you mean..."
Yang Tianwei smiled and said, "I want to pay tribute to the first place winner's half-time work. Because I know our work will be put away next."
This reason is very convincing and seems to have no loopholes at all.
Mo Qingyuan on the stage looked at the familiar face, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
But he soon turned his gaze to Yun Wanning, who had a calm expression, and his eyes seemed to be asking for her opinion.
Looking at the other person's raised eyebrows, Mo Qingyuan knew that she agreed.
He nodded, and in front of everyone, he found Yun Wanning's work and took it out.
"Since it is your request, we will try our best to satisfy it."
As he spoke, he began to show his work in front of the public, and in order to let those on the Internet understand, he deliberately faced the cameras of the reporters.
As the official camera of the game zoomed in, the wolf on the white paper became lifelike, and not a single stroke of the painting was superfluous.
The greed and ambition in his eyes were evident.
Although this painting doesn't feature the most common landscapes, the wolf itself is a perfect representation of ambition. Even the fur on its body is just right.
When such a painting was shown to the crowd, it immediately caused a burst of exclamations.
"It's amazing that you can draw such a perfect wolf in such a short time."
"The timing is excellent, the subject is kept within the theme, and the story is vivid. If this guy isn't number one, who is?"
“…”
The sounds around her became more and more obvious. Yang Tianwei just stared at the work, stunned where she was.
At the same time, Xia Anhe had the same expression.
"how so?"
Didn't the media previously say that Yun Wanning and Mo Qingyuan weren't master and apprentice? They'd only met a handful of times since returning to China.
How could she...
Yang Tianwei was not as smart as Xia Anhe thought. After she realized what was happening, she looked at Mo Qingyuan with some suspicion in her eyes.
"Teacher Mo, you mentioned on Weibo earlier that Mr. Yun was in your debt. As a judge for this competition today, do you have anything to say about Mr. Yun's performance?"
These were all things that happened in the past, but now that they have been dug up, they seem to have a deeper meaning.
Mo Qingyuan smiled and said, "Boss Yun's favor to me has nothing to do with this competition. You should all have seen Boss Yun's performance. I'm not a nice person to talk to, so please just listen for now."
As he spoke, he cleared his throat.
"This competition is sponsored by the Jiang and Lin families. I'm just a judge. There are other judges besides me. Instead of doubting others, it's better to doubt yourself. The truth should be in the cameras of all the reporters."
After hearing this, Mo Qingyuan no longer had the patience to say anything and just turned around and left.
Yang Tianwei was left behind with an embarrassed look on her face.
Xia Anhe looked at her with some annoyance.
This idiot! Why is she the same as before? She hasn't improved at all? Mo Qingyuan should have remembered them by now. How can they get close to him from now on?
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, but Yun Manying and others didn't care.
Instead, Jiang Yubai and a few others began to appreciate her paintings.
