Chapter 96 The Finals Officially Begins
At this moment, Zhou Ruxuan came over with an invitation in her hand.
"Yanyan, the organizer of the fashion design competition has sent the invitation."
Zhou Ruxuan was a little excited and ran over quickly. Mu Nanyan was also very happy to hear the news.
"Really? Let me see, when does the competition start?"
Zhou Ruxuan directly handed the invitation letter to Mu Nanyan. Mu Nanyan opened it and saw that the final would be held at the International Exhibition Center on December 5th, which was three days away.
"It seems we are preparing in time. The competition will start in three days."
"That's great! I can't wait to participate in the competition. I haven't had a good rest recently because of this competition. The sooner I finish the competition, the better."
Zhou Ruxuan felt that her dark circles had become heavier recently. She was just a handyman, but she felt that she was more nervous than Mu Nanyan. It was true that the eunuchs were anxious even though the emperor was not.
"Yes, after the game we can take a good rest for a while. Everyone has worked hard during this period."
"Yanyan, why do I feel like you're not nervous at all?"
Zhou Ruxuan looked at Mu Nanyan with resentment. Mu Nanyan smiled and said:
"I don't know. Maybe it's because the competition hasn't started yet. I might get nervous when I get to the competition. Besides, we've already made it to the finals and have qualified to compete. We're already halfway to success."
"I'm not money, I can't please everyone. How many viewers will like my design depends on fate. It's not something I can decide."
"It seems so. I wish I could have your mentality."
Zhou Ruxuan's face was full of envy, and Elena suddenly said:
"No matter whether others like it or not, I really like Nan Yan's design. This dress is really beautiful."
"Yeah, I think it looks good too. I used to think cheongsams were only suitable for older people, but after seeing Yanyan design it like this, I feel like I've discovered a new world. It's really beautiful."
"Alright, stop praising me. I'm embarrassed to keep saying that. Let's clean up. The work is done. Everyone can have a good rest for a few days. We'll just wait for the next competition."
"Uh-huh."
Elena took off her dress, put it in a gift box and handed it to Mu Nanyan. After saying goodbye at the company gate, the few of them left.
Three days later...
Mu Nanyan, dressed in a simple yet tasteful business suit, sat at her desk, carefully examining the dress she would be wearing. Zhou Ruxuan, on the other hand, was busy sorting through her accessories and cosmetics, making final preparations for the upcoming competition.
"Why hasn't Elena arrived yet?"
Mu Nanyan looked up at the clock on the wall, her brows furrowed slightly. According to the plan, Elena should have arrived at the company half an hour ago and gone to the competition with them. However, time passed, and Elena still did not appear.
Mu Nanyan picked up the phone and called Elena.
"Hey, Elena, where are you? We should leave."
On the other end of the phone, Elena's voice sounded a little hurried:
"Nan Yan, I'm so sorry, I have something urgent to deal with here, so I might be delayed for a while. How about this, I'll just meet up with you guys at the competition venue, okay?"
Although Mu Nanyan was a little unhappy, considering the urgency of the competition, she had no choice but to accept Elena's proposal. She hung up the phone and said to Zhou Ruxuan:
"Elena said she would go directly to the competition, so let's go there first."
The two hurried to the International Exhibition Center. Along the way, Mu Nanyan's mind kept emerging with the design of the dress that was about to be unveiled, as well as her anticipation and nervousness about the competition.
After arriving at the venue, Mu Nanyan and Zhou Ruxuan immediately plunged into the busy preparations. They negotiated with other models, arranged makeup, and tried on clothes. Everything went on in an orderly manner. However, when the competition officially began, Elena still did not show up.
Zhou Ruxuan anxiously looked at her watch, then picked up her phone and called Elena. Elena's voice on the other end of the phone was still a little hurried:
"I'm on my way and will be there soon. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
Today marks the finals of the "Oriental Cup" China Women's Wear Design Competition. The entire International Exhibition Center is adorned with dazzling brilliance, and the air is thick with excitement. A giant LED screen loops through the participating designers' profiles and reviews of their semifinal entries, warming up for the upcoming finals. The audience, glow sticks in hand, gather in small groups to discuss their favorite designers, creating a lively atmosphere.
As the host's opening remarks sounded, the atmosphere on the scene instantly reached a climax. The host, dressed in a gorgeous dress, holding a microphone, stood in the center of the stage and said to the camera with a smile:
"Dear audience and judges, hello! Welcome to the finals of the 'Oriental Cup' China Women's Wear Design Competition! Today, we will witness a visual and artistic feast. Each participating designer will use their talent and creativity to bring us a unique fashion feast. Today's competition will be a catwalk show. Each designer's meticulous work will be worn by professional models and will be displayed one by one on stage according to the ranking order of the semi-finals. Now, let us hold our breath and look forward to this wonderful competition together!"
Following the host’s introduction, the audience applauded and cheered, looking forward to the next wonderful performance.
As the spotlight slowly focused, the host at the center of the stage slowly introduced the upcoming work in an almost poetic tone:
"Next, let's witness a masterpiece that seems to have stepped out of a dream—'Starry River Walk.' This gown was meticulously crafted by Dingsheng Group's senior designer, Zhang Zihan. The skirt is made of a light, transparent tulle material, embellished with countless tiny silver flakes and beads. Under the light, it resembles twinkling stars in the night sky, both dreamy and romantic. The bodice of the gown is tailored to perfectly outline the model's graceful figure. Paired with exquisite silver jewelry and a headpiece, the overall look is like a princess from a fairy tale."
As the host finished speaking, the backstage curtains gently parted, revealing several models clad in gowns from the "Walk Through the Galaxy" collection. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and all eyes were captivated by this dazzling display. The models' steps were light and graceful, as if they were truly strolling through the galaxy, each step imbued with starlight and fantasy.
The "Starry River Walk" gown shimmered with unparalleled brilliance under the lights. Its light, transparent skirt resembled the softest clouds in the night sky, while the countless tiny silver flakes and beads inlaid upon it resembled tiny stars, twinkling with a captivating brilliance. These star-like embellishments swayed gently as the model walked.
