The last contestant was quite special; even her information was only obtained by the host just before she came on stage. He, like the audience, still had no idea who this mysterious fifth contestant was.
"Next, please welcome our fifth contestant, who is also our lucky charm in the competition."
After he finished speaking, he thought he could liven up the atmosphere, but he inexplicably found that the atmosphere had become unusually cold.
"Does the fifth one even need an introduction? He's the king of plagiarism and an insider player."
"I don't know how she has the nerve to be the last one. The resumes of the others are so impressive. Even if she fabricated them, she couldn't compare, right?"
The host was somewhat surprised by the constant mocking and sarcastic remarks.
He was just about to change the subject to ease the tension when he suddenly heard a childish shout.
"Go, Mom! You're the best, Mom!"
The host looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl in a princess dress standing tall on a chair.
Yi Kangle stared blankly at Su Xiaoyu, who had suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with admiration.
He hobbled up the chair, clumsily climbing on his little legs, and shouted, just like Su Xiaoyu, "Go, Mom! Mom is the best!"
He started out speaking very softly, but Su Xiaoyu led him to speak louder and louder, and all the timidity on his face disappeared.
The youthful yet powerful cheers echoed across the stage and reached Su Yan's ears backstage.
Her lips involuntarily curved upwards, revealing a mother's unique smile of happiness.
The staff members on the side couldn't help but say enviously, "You have two children already, I'm so envious."
Mr. Wu was already annoyed by Yi An and didn't want to watch him show off his affection anymore, so he just glanced at them perfunctorily. But that one glance was enough to fix his gaze on her.
Was he seeing things?
He rubbed his eyes hard, and Meng Jie became clearer in his vision.
It really seems to be the rumored CEO Meng!
The host was also charmed by the two adorable girls and couldn't help but smile. Following the schedule, he quickly opened the envelope containing information about Su Yan.
When he saw what was written there, he was stunned, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
But the host's professionalism made him realize the mistake immediately, "Let's welcome the fifth lucky koi contestant."
The dress Su Yan was wearing today was none other than the light purple dress she wore on the day she participated in her first competition, and even her hairstyle was exactly the same as that day.
As soon as Lin Hui saw her outfit, she immediately understood what she was up to.
She knew that Su Yan wouldn't just let her steal the title.
However, Lin Hui didn't show the slightest bit of anxiety. Anyway, Su Yan's reputation was already so bad that there was no chance of her recovering. All she needed to do was pin the blame for impersonation on Su Yan.
But she never expected that her wishful thinking would be ruined by Su Yan's resume.
The host glanced at Su Yan before slowly reading out, "She once won an award of excellence at the world-class Moslington Design Competition. She was hailed by the international design master Hughesling as a design genius that is rare in a century."
As everyone was stunned by Su Yan's resume, the host slowly and respectfully read out the last sentence: "She is Qiong."
The character "琼" (Qiong) acted as a fuse, instantly igniting a bombshell throughout the venue.
"Qiong?!"
Everyone gasped in unison.
Even Meng Jie's pupils dilated. She quickly glanced at Yi An beside her and saw that he was unusually calm with a faint smile on his lips, which meant he knew all along.
Meng Jie chuckled softly, then lowered her head and shook it twice.
Sitting in the first row, He Ziming stared at Su Yan in disbelief; he couldn't accept this answer.
"How could she be Qiong? Isn't she Su Yan?"
Lin Hui was another person who couldn't accept the answer.
"This isn't true, you're lying, right?"
Lin Hui was eager to demand an explanation from Su Yan, but Su Yan just smiled faintly at her without saying a word.
That nonchalant, detached expression while watching the show was driving her to the brink of collapse.
"You can't be Joan's!"
Lin Hui suddenly shouted, excitedly questioning the judges: "Did you tamper with things again? Qiong has basically never appeared in public. You say she is Qiong, so she is Qiong?"
While this argument may seem far-fetched, it is not entirely without merit.
However, isn't this too risky? The chances of collapse are too high. As long as Qiong issues a statement, Su Yan will be completely defeated.
Everyone turned their attention to the judges' panel, wanting a reasonable explanation.
But the judges were also caught off guard by this sudden news. They didn't know whether the person in front of them was the real Qiong or a fake Qiong, and could only look awkwardly at President Wu.
Mr. Wu remained calm and composed, slowly picking up the microphone that had been prepared beforehand from the table. He seemed to have anticipated the questions and was well-prepared.
He picked up the microphone, said nothing, and first let out a mocking laugh.
The laughter made everyone realize something.
"Just because you haven't met Joan doesn't mean she isn't Joan."
The unspoken message is: You're just making a fuss over nothing! And you still have the nerve to show off here!
Lin Hui, as if determined to prove herself, retorted loudly, "Then how can you prove that she is Qiong!"
Mr. Wu remained unchanged, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.
"Weren't you all questioning the style of her first round of work? Isn't this the best explanation? She can draw design drafts with such a similar style, yet she can't be accurately accused of plagiarism. Doesn't that say something?"
Before Lin Hui could speak, he continued, "Of course, if you still don't believe me, you can look forward to Qiong's future development in China."
Lin Hui's face was deathly pale, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
She couldn't accept this devastating fact.
Su Yan, whom she despised and who had always been considered beneath her, had suddenly become Qiong, whom she could never reach. How could she accept this?
Su Yan slowly turned around, smiling at her, and said, "Haven't you been looking forward to our competition? Your wish has finally come true. In the competition, please give it your all."
These words sound like a humble attempt to learn from others, but they are actually full of sarcasm.
He Ziming stood up with a livid face, turned around and left.
Yi An watched him leave, then slowly took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Get ready, the battle to turn the tables has begun. Also, notify the legal department: sue them one by one. Compensation is not necessary, but they must all be utterly disgraced!"
