The preliminary round was filled with dozens of judges, who were almost the most authoritative experts in the jewelry industry in the capital, and had a very important influence both in the capital and around the world.
As Gu Shanshan skillfully worked on her jewelry creations, she would occasionally glance curiously at the prestigious judges, her eyes filled with excitement.
There weren't this many high-caliber judges in the preliminary rounds in the capital before. Could it be that these judges are all here because of her?
She was so eager that she couldn't help but feel smug, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Just then, she finished her jewelry piece. Excitedly, she looked around and, seeing that no one else had finished their work, she raised her chin even higher and respectfully submitted her piece to the judge with both hands.
The moment the jewels landed in Gu Shanshan's hands, the referees' eyes lit up.
One of them couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Ms. Gu Shanshan, your work is amazing! Are you sure you submitted it in the preliminary round?"
Gu Shanshan is a top player in the Beijing jewelry industry, and there are even rumors that she is very likely to win the global finals championship this year.
The jewelry she's holding now, in terms of color, shape, and design, far surpasses the level of the same period in the capital. Such a piece is rare, not only in the capital but also abroad!
Gu Shanshan maintained a gentle smile, her expression exceptionally dignified. "Judges, you flatter me. This is indeed just my preliminary entry. If I have the opportunity to enter the global finals, I will definitely present an even better piece and contribute more to the jewelry design industry."
The sincere tone of his voice drew frequent nods from the judges, and one after another, the judges raised their hands to indicate their scores.
"Eight points!"
"Nine points!"
"Nine points!"
"..."
The scores from dozens of judges appeared on the giant screen, and the consistently high scores instantly sparked a frenzy among the fans!
"Ahhh, as expected of Shanshan, this score is just too high!"
“In the past, a work that could get eight points in the preliminary rounds was almost guaranteed to enter the finals. Shanshan’s work has swept away all the previous results, right?”
"It's not just sweeping aside past achievements, Shanshan even broke her own personal record!"
"Breaking her own historical record for four consecutive years, Shanshan truly is the queen of jewelry!"
"As expected, Shanshan is number one again this year. Shanshan, I will always love you!"
"..."
The screams of the fans rose and fell, and Gu Shanshan couldn't help but raise a confident, cold smile.
That's right, the records she holds can only be broken by herself!
Who does Gu Momo even mean?!
Just then, a surprised and delighted voice suddenly came from the crowd, "My God! Look at the big screen, whose work is that? It's amazing!"
Gu Shanshan's smile froze on her face, and she quickly turned her head in shock!
On the big screen, a jewelry necklace meticulously carved from red agate was projected against the ambient light.
This necklace is exquisitely crafted; the engraved textures are even clearly visible on the screen, along with the blood-red swans fluttering on the textures. Under the light, the swans stubbornly and tenaciously spread their arms against the backdrop of blood-red color.
That tenacious feeling is like an elegant noblewoman who survives being burned alive, relying on her indomitable spirit to pull herself out of the dead end!
At this moment, she is no longer just a decorative pattern on a necklace, but more like an elegant noblewoman who has risen from the ashes, showing people her indomitable spirit!
This necklace is simply a living work of art!
The moment the judges saw the artwork, they first stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then stood up in delight!
With trembling hands, he exclaimed excitedly, "Whose work is this?!"
Gu Momo neatly packed away all her jewelry-making tools before respectfully smiling and saying, "Referee, this is mine. I've named this piece 'Rebirth,' meaning to rise from the ashes of adversity and to amaze the world like a phoenix rising from the ashes."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire room erupted in excitement!
The judges on the referee's table were so excited that they were moved to tears. The judges quickly put on their reading glasses, wishing they could stick their eyes to the big screen to see clearly!
Gu Momo's works are not only exquisitely designed, but they are also like new life, making the whole work as wonderful and magnificent as her life!
How could a work like this not be a good work?!
"I am absolutely satisfied with this work! A perfect 10!"
"Oh my god, I absolutely love this design! A perfect 10!"
"Me too! Ten out of ten!"
"..."
The dozens of judges were all incredibly excited, raising their placards to a perfect score of 10, with not one willing to lower the score by even one point!
When the score was announced, the audience at the competition venue went completely wild!
"Holy crap! A perfect 10! Is this even a score a human would give?"
"You know, in the past, getting eight points in a competition was considered top-tier, but Gu Momo got ten points?!"
"Getting a perfect score is already unprecedented! Gu Momo got a perfect score of 10! Is this a newbie slaughtering the village of pros? Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like this!"
"..."
The excited shouts of the audience and referees rose in waves, and Gu Shanshan's expression was like a spilled palette, becoming exceptionally colorful.
How is that possible?!
Gu Momo has never studied design, so how could she suddenly produce such high-end works?
This kind of work is so rare that it would be hard to find anyone in the entire international jewelry industry to produce one, let alone in the preliminary rounds in the capital!
How did that bitch Gu Momo manage to do that?!
Gu Shanshan's venomous gaze seemed to want to stab Gu Momo to death, and Gu Momo seemed to sense her vicious gaze.
She gave Gu Shanshan a casual chuckle, the smile not reaching her eyes, "Shanshan's design skills are so superb, she must have held back a bit, right? That's why she created such a mediocre piece, isn't it?"
As she spoke, the smile in her eyes became even more enigmatic, "Shanshan's designs, even casually, can easily surpass so many others. I'm incredibly envious of her talent..."
Gu Shanshan stared fiercely at Gu Momo's smile, her gaze filled with a desire to tear countless holes through Gu Momo!
That bitch, she still dares to show off?
This was a piece she had spent half a month preparing, and yet it had been utterly ruined by a novice like her. How could Gu Shanshan possibly accept this?!
The overall results of the competition were quickly announced, and Gu Momo unsurprisingly took first place and advanced to the finals.
Gu Shanshan, who had topped the list in the capital for three consecutive years, could only rank second this time, and was almost 20 points behind Gu Momo, who ranked first!
Gu Shanshan gritted her teeth in anger, a deep sense of fear rising within her.
