Chapter 90 Jiang Ning is mine tonight
After finishing the board meeting, Pitt almost ran a red light while driving to the Blue Ocean International Convention Center.
He checked his watch and calculated the time, then ran as fast as he could after getting off the bus.
As he pushed open the door of the Great Hall, Jiang Ning was on the stage, just as he was taking his entry design off the model's head.
This headscarf is not symmetrical.
When Jiang Ning fastened the two ends of the metal lace ribbon together, the hairband instantly transformed into a three-dimensional model.
Pete smiled knowingly.
Jiangning won!
Even before the score was displayed, he had already guessed the result.
The audience erupted in applause.
Yuan Pei, who had just finished using the restroom and rushed back, stood up excitedly and clapped.
Not far away, Gu Qian was also clapping, his face showing disbelief.
Jiang Ning said nothing, but silently showed her work to the judges.
She believes that the work itself can answer the questions raised by the judges.
On stage, Chu Qingxue was trembling with anger.
How could that be...
How could Jiangning possibly have such an idea!
Besides Chu Qingxue, the other contestants couldn't help but applaud Jiang Ning.
Chu Qingxue was a beat slow to react, so she had to clap her hands to make a show of it.
This design from Jiangning, when worn on the head, is a priceless, dazzling 22K white gold headband fully inlaid with gemstones.
When you take it off and fasten the lace, you get a human brain model.
The ruby on one side and the sapphire on the other side perfectly represent the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
In Jiang Ning's view, AI is far more than just a robot.
It is a simulation of human intelligence by computer systems, and it is applied to all areas of daily production and life.
It embodies the magnificent arc of human wisdom.
The perfectly cut colored gemstones she uses, paired with countless small diamonds, are set using her unique invisible setting technique, which maximizes the brilliance of the gemstones and expresses the brilliance of human wisdom.
Jiang Ning didn't utter a single word of these words.
But everyone present understood this meaning through her work.
Ultimately, the competition judges awarded Jiang Ning's work a perfect score of 100.
Jiang Ning outshone all others and won the championship in this Rising Star Jewelry Design Competition.
Needless to say, she also finally secured the qualification to participate in the LD Jewelry Fashion Week, which Jiang Ning valued most, making it a win-win situation.
On stage, Jiang Ning is receiving an award.
Pete stared intently at Jiang Ning, unaware that Geng Li had arrived beside him.
"That's not very fair, Mr. Pi."
Pete snapped out of his daze, looked at Geng Li with a puzzled expression, and said, "I don't understand what Chairman Geng is saying."
Geng Li smiled and pointed to Jiang Ning on the stage.
"This Jiang Ning... is he BYC, the design master of your FY piano series, right?"
"ah……"
Pete opened his mouth, gasped, and answered that it was neither yes nor no.
Geng Li noticed that Pete was in a difficult position and added:
"The subtle inlay technique that Jiang Ning showcased on stage—isn't that unique to the piano series? And her cutting technique is... too uncommon... plus that unique design concept..."
Geng Li became more and more regretful as he spoke.
He shouldn't have been so hasty in giving Chu Qingxue a letter of recommendation immediately after seeing her design.
This was actually Luo Zhongshi's fault, because it was Luo Zhongshi who initially strongly recommended Chu Qingxue to him, saying that Jiangning was inferior to her in every way.
However, seeing is believing, and tonight's final completely overturned his previous impression of Jiangning.
However, Geng Li thought again that if it weren't for what happened before, Jiang Ning might not have been able to participate in this competition, and he wouldn't have been able to see such a wonderful design.
And, as a result of the misfortune, she also guessed BYC's true identity.
"Does Jiang Ning have some unspeakable secret? If she had revealed earlier that she was a BYC master, she wouldn't have needed to participate in this kind of competition. LD Jewelry Fashion Week would have been eager to invite her."
"Hmm... there is indeed something I can't say about it..."
Pete scratched his head, unable to explain why.
Because he didn't know why Jiang Ning disliked fame so much.
However, there was one thing he was certain of—
That's the design inspiration for the Jiangning piano series, and it didn't come from a good thing.
Jiang Ning never mentioned that unpleasant incident.
Geng Li promised Pete that he would not reveal that Jiang Ning was a member of BYC.
After the awards ceremony, Jiang Ning was surrounded by media, collectors, and industry leaders.
All the other designers packed up and left, leaving Chu Qingxue standing alone on the stage.
But no one noticed her.
Watching Jiang Ning win and become the darling of everyone, Chu Qingxue's face twisted with anger.
She took out her phone, checked the time, and called Lu Junyan.
In the stillness of the night, the lights in the Blue Ocean International Convention Hall were as soft as a nocturne.
It wasn't until very late that Jiang Ning finally had time to pack his things.
"congratulations."
Upon seeing Pete, Jiang Ning's face broke into a wide smile.
"I finally did it! At least I met the investors' initial requirements." Jiang Ning said, feeling that the pressure of being a boss was much greater than that of being an employee.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Jiang Ning heard Yuan Pei's voice and was surprised that Yuan Pei hadn't left yet.
"With me around, you don't need to treat me. Jiangning is mine tonight."
Pete knew who Yuan Pei was, but he wasn't familiar with him.
He turned to Jiang Ning and asked, "Your friend?"
"I'm... my husband's friend."
Yuan Pei was quite alarmed by Jiang Ning's introduction.
"What do you mean 'your husband's friend'? I've had dinner with you, I took you home when you were drunk, I bandaged your hand when you hurt it, and you..."
"Okay, okay, you're my friend."
Jiang Ning had no way to deal with Yuan Pei.
She felt that Yuan Pei's attitude towards her had improved significantly recently compared to the past, but she couldn't figure out why.
Pete watched from the side, his expression not looking too good.
He always felt that Jiang Ning and Yuan Pei were more relaxed when they talked than when they talked to him.
Unwittingly, Jiang Ning's gaze passed between Pete and Yuan Pei and landed on Gu Qian standing at the main entrance.
Gu Qian's expression at this moment was much more genuine than when he was in front of her.
Jiang Ning didn't say a word, watched Gu Qian turn around and leave the Great Hall.
In the end, Jiang Ning declined both Pete's and Yuan Pei's invitations, but she put them on the tab, meaning each of them owed her a meal.
Jiang Ning drove himself to a KTV and found the private room he had requested.
Congratulations on the triumphant return of our great designer!
Bang! Bang!
Gu Lanlan fired the cannon, startling Jiang Ning.
Congratulations! I knew you were going to win!
Gu Lanlan brought the pre-ordered cake to Jiang Ning and also prepared a gift.
"Lanlan, you really don't need to spend so much money."
"I don't mean to spend money, but you are really too kind."
"Thank you……"
Jiang Ning was deeply moved.
The reason she turned down Pete and Yuan Pei's invitations tonight was because she had already promised Gu Lanlan that she would celebrate with Gu Lanlan if she won.
The two ate cake, sang songs, and drank some low-alcohol champagne together.
Jiang Ning was very happy, but he didn't forget the important matter.
She sent Lu Junyan a WeChat message:
Lu Junyan, I won the competition, so our bet still stands, right?
