Chapter 99 I will never cooperate with her again
The host continued:
"The third place winner of the audience vote for this competition is Xu Qing, whose work "Frost and Snow Clearing" received a total of 12,587 votes. Thank you for bringing me this fantastic journey."
There was applause of encouragement in the venue, and Xu Qing smiled with satisfaction backstage. Then, the host continued to announce:
"The second place winner of the audience vote is Mu Nanyan. Her work 'Moon Shadow Flowing Light' received an astonishing 18,923 votes, showcasing unparalleled beauty and creativity. Let's applaud Mu Nanyan once again!"
Thunderous applause erupted as Mu Nanyan stood backstage, her eyes gleaming with both surprise and a hint of regret. She knew that, despite the high number of votes, it didn't put her on the championship throne. Finally, the host took a deep breath, his voice filled with undisguised excitement:
"The winner of this competition's audience vote, with a commanding 23,765 votes, is Zhang Zihan. Her work, 'Walking in the Starry River,' deeply touched the hearts of every audience member. Congratulations to Zhang Zihan!"
The venue erupted in even more enthusiastic applause and cheers, with flash cameras flashing continuously, recording this glorious moment. The host then changed the subject and officially entered the climax of the award ceremony:
"But tonight, we are not just celebrating the winners of the audience vote, we are also recognizing the outstanding performances of all the contestants. Now, I announce the scores given by the professional judging panel of this competition. Zhang Zihan
97.5 points, Mu Nanyan 97.5 points, the two tied for first place, second place was Li Haoyu 95.3 points, and third place was Xu Qing 94.5 points.
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience again. Everyone was still very surprised by the result. No one expected that the jury would give two high scores this year. It was a pity that Mu Nanyan lost the audience vote, otherwise she would also be the champion.
"Next, we are going to announce the final champion, runner-up and third place winners. The third place winner is Designer Xu Qing, the second place winner is Designer Mu Nanyan, and the champion is Designer Zhang Zihan. Let's applaud all three of them again."
"Thank you to all the designers for participating. We have seen such a visual feast. Thank you for your hard work. Designers who didn't win awards should not be discouraged. Keep up the hard work. We can go backstage and take a break."
All the designers on the stage left, leaving only Mu Nanyan and the other two still standing on the stage.
"Next, please invite the teachers from the judging panel to come on stage to present awards to our designers."
The teachers from the jury came up with trophies and certificates and presented awards to the three people. After the award ceremony, the competition came to a perfect end.
As soon as Mu Nanyan walked backstage, Zhou Ruxuan ran over excitedly and hugged her.
"Yanyan, you are so amazing. You actually won the runner-up."
"I didn't expect that. When I saw other people's works before, I felt quite pressured. I was not sure about it myself at the time."
"It's a pity that your audience votes weren't as high as Zhang Zihan's, otherwise you would have been number one."
"That can't be helped. It's okay. The judges gave me the same score as Zhang Zihan. This proves my ability."
"I've heard of her before. Her designs are truly outstanding, and she's long been famous in the design world. She already has a loyal fan base. You only lost because you're still a newcomer and no one knows you. But after today, many people will surely know that there's a new and exceptionally talented designer in the world."
When Zhou Ruxuan said this, her face was full of pride, as if she was talking about herself. It can be seen that she was really happy for Mu Nanyan. Mu Nanyan felt that she was very lucky to have met friends who treated her sincerely in the workplace.
"Okay, the game is over, let's pack up and go back. It's getting late now."
"Yeah, by the way, Elena just called me."
If Zhou Ruxuan hadn't said it, Mu Nanyan almost forgot about this person. If she hadn't been late today, there wouldn't be so many troubles. Mu Nanyan's face looked a little unhappy.
"What did she say?"
"She said she had a car accident on the road and was stuck in traffic, so she didn't have time to get here. I don't know if that's true."
Zhou Ruxuan was still quite angry when she talked about this. She felt that Elena was a good person when they first started working together, but she didn't expect that she would trip them up in the end. If Mu Nanyan hadn't stepped up today, all their previous efforts would have been in vain.
"Whether it's true or not, I will never work with her again."
Mu Nanyan really didn't dare to cooperate with this person who had no sense of time for a second time.
"Then let's pack up and go back. Leave her alone. Our game is over now anyway."
"Uh-huh."
After packing their suits, the two drove home, preparing to report back to the company tomorrow.

Yujing Tiancheng
Mu Nanyan had just returned to her room when she heard her cell phone ringing.
"Ding Dong~Ding Dong~Ding Dong~"
Mu Nanyan took her cell phone out of her bag and saw the message Tang Yutong sent her.
Tang Yutong: [Baby, you're on TV! You're stunning! ! ! !]
Tang Yutong: [Picture]
Tang Yutong: [Picture]
Mu Nanyan clicked on the picture and saw that it was a photo of herself standing on the catwalk. She looked really beautiful under the light.
Mu Nanyan sent a heart-shaped emoticon.
Tang Yutong: [Yanyan, you're a top student indeed. How long have you been working? You actually won the runner-up in the competition. You're incredible!]
Mu Nanyan: [Keep a low profile.]
Tang Yutong: [Isn't it a bit too late for you to keep a low profile now? I opened Weibo today and your amazing pictures have become a trending topic. Now someone is digging up your information.]
Mu Nanyan: [That's not possible, can a costume contest really attract so much attention?]
Mu Nanyan felt that apart from their design community, few outsiders would pay attention to this kind of competition.
Tang Yutong: [The competition didn't get much attention, but your photo went viral online. A lot of people are asking for the live stream of the competition, all because of you.]
Mu Nanyan: [Is Zundu fake? ]
After asking, Mu Nanyan never received a reply from Tang Yutong. She thought she was busy, so she didn't pay attention to it. She clicked on other message boxes. Most of them were congratulatory messages from colleagues in the company and former classmates. Mu Nanyan replied to them one by one.
She seemed to be really famous. Classmates who had added her as their friend at school but had never chatted with her came to congratulate her, as if everyone knew that she had won the competition.
At this moment, another message popped up on the phone. Mu Nanyan subconsciously clicked on it. It was a message from an unfamiliar number.
【Congratulations, you got what you wanted. 】
Mu Nanyan looked at the message with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't know who sent it, but she felt that the person seemed to be very familiar with her and knew that she had always wanted to participate in this competition.
Mu Nanyan thought about it for a while but was still not sure who this person was. In the end, she replied with a thank you without dwelling on it too much.
