Chapter 1322 Finals, Champion! (I)
"International Designer Competition, the final round, the competition time has come!"
As the host's voice fell, thunderous applause broke out in the venue.
The moment Ye Yao put down his tools, he felt extremely relaxed all over.
Finally... done.
"Okay, now please ask the five participating designers to return to their seats and rest. The judges will make the final selection and ranking."
Ye Yao stood up and followed the other four designers off the field.
The atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became tense, and it was finally time for the most critical moment.
After sitting down, Ye Yao subconsciously looked towards the audience, in the direction of Wang Song and others.
They were looking at her too.
The eyes of several people met in mid-air, and everyone made an encouraging gesture to her.
Ye Yao took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and waited patiently.
Wang Song and his friends were obviously more nervous than her, and they stared directly at the dozen or so judges on the field.
"Master, I actually have an idea in my mind, but I don't know whether I should tell it to you."
Wang Da Kui looked at the judges and frowned continuously.
"Then don't talk about it."
Sun You, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Even he became a little nervous at this time. Since this kid asked this, it must not be something good.
Wang Da Kui curled his lips. The more people didn't want him to speak, the more he wanted to speak.
"I wonder if these judges are deliberately partial to each other. As for Anthony, I think the judges all like him very much, and they are from the same country, especially the chief judge.
This is really unfair to my aunt..."
"Da Kui, you can't say that. We have to trust the organizers, and the five designers are all very good. Their design works are also obvious to all. How could there be a situation like what you said?"
Wang Song immediately raised his voice to interrupt his "nonsense", and added that some things, even if true, could only be kept in one's heart and could never be spoken out.
Wang Da Kui didn't expect that he would care so much about his words. Since he was not allowed to say it, then he would not say it.
"Anyway, in my heart, my aunt is already number one!"
Wang Song couldn't help but relax his expression. These words really touched his heart.
I glanced at the time and it was already eight o'clock in the evening. I guess the results wouldn't come out too soon.
But now they definitely have enough patience.
…
Yao Yipin’s life was bustling with people. Not only the exhibition hall on the first floor, but also the second and third floors were crowded.
Designers from all over the country gathered here.
There are also newspaper reporters and various media outlets who are eagerly waiting.
From the day they received the news, this game has gone from being a nobody’s favorite to being the focus of everyone’s attention.
Regardless of whether Ye Yao can get a ranking in the finals or what ranking she will get, she has already become one of the most powerful and influential designers in China.
It can even be said that her current status has far surpassed several masters like Wang Song, and is almost at the same level as Mu Lixin.
"Qingyuan, I have arranged for all the reporters to stay in the office on the second floor. However, there are too many people coming and we cannot accommodate all of them. We can only select some of the more important news media.
Once the results come back from Ye Yao, we will do a special interview right away."
Liu Wentao was already extremely busy, but even so, he could hardly conceal the excitement on his face.
Cai Qingyuan nodded. He had been entertaining those designer friends who came from afar.
As for the orders from the store, an announcement has been posted to the public in the past few days, announcing the suspension of business.
But even so, the sales department's phone was flooded with calls.
The two of them looked at the time at the same time, wondering what the situation was like on Ye Yao's side.
"I don't know how Ye Yao is doing on the court. I hope she can still give us a surprise today."
These days, Cai Qingyuan felt like he was on a roller coaster.
Every time, my mood has just calmed down, and then it is brought up again.
These few days alone were even more exciting and thrilling than the decade or so he had lived through before.
"It should be almost time. I'll go out and maintain order first."
After a brief exchange, the two of them got busy again.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for that moment to come.
…
"It's been half an hour, and it's just five pieces of clothing. Why haven't they made any move yet?"
In the audience, Wang Da Kui could no longer hold his temper and started mumbling again.
In his opinion, with so many games ahead and more works to be designed, it would only take that much time.
But now, more than a dozen judges are still gathered in front of the five design works, arguing fiercely about something.
Is there really no need to do this? Everyone is tired after a day of work and is waiting for the final result. Just choose it quickly and it will be done.
"Da Kui, be patient, it's not that easy to choose."
After being together for a long time, everyone already knows that Wang Da Kui is a person who says what he means but does not mean it.
Although Qi Zhen and the others were also very anxious, they could understand the situation on the judges' side better than he did.
It was not what he imagined. If the number was large, it would take more time. If the number was small, the choice could be made quickly.
The works of the five designers now can be said to be the best.
If you want to rank who is first and who is second, it would be a million times more difficult than the previous knockout rounds.
Wang Da Kui touched his nose and laughed.
"I'm also here to watch my aunt compete. I'm already exhausted after a whole day. Let's finish the competition quickly so we can go back!"
They have been here for more than a month. To be honest, although he was very excited when he came out, he really misses home now.
So when he said going back, he didn't just mean going back to the hotel, but going back to his country.
Soon he became quiet again.
Sun You kept looking around the venue, as if he was looking for something.
Finally, the heated conversations among the judges on the field all stopped.
Then, the expressions on the faces of more than a dozen people were equally serious, and they walked back to their positions in an orderly manner.
Everyone in the audience was excited, and the final result was finally coming out.
Ye Yao subconsciously clenched her hands hanging at her sides. Even she was nervous at this moment.
The same is true for Anthony Lawes.
Yesterday's conversation with Carlos Jutta almost kept him awake all night, and today on the court, he was even more serious than he has been in the past decade.
His own work is also the one he is most satisfied with, and it can even be said to represent the peak of his abilities.
But even so, he still felt a little uneasy.
He has only one goal, and that is to win the championship.
He subconsciously glanced at Ye Yao who was sitting next to him.
If among the four designers, the only one who poses a threat to him is probably this woman.
Carlos Jutta's voice spread throughout the venue through the microphone.
“The results of the international designer competition finals are now in my hands.
The works of the five designers are all excellent, and it is indeed extremely difficult to choose a fair ranking.
So this was also the most difficult vote for our 14 judges.
We adhered to the principles of fairness and justice, and after three rounds of voting, we finally got the current result.
I think this result is the fairest ranking.”
Before announcing the rankings, he repeatedly emphasized the word fairness.
Everyone in the audience was worried.
Similarly, everyone has their own ranking in their hearts.
Wang Song's spine was stretched straight, his palms were full of sweat, and at this moment he felt that his breathing was not smooth anymore.
I don't seek to win the championship, as long as I can be in the top three.
As long as they get third place, it will be the pinnacle of honor for Chinese designers.
Anthony Lawes frowned slightly. As the person who knew Carlos Jutta best in the entire arena, under normal circumstances, there was really no need for him to emphasize this deliberately.
Who would question the fairness of the competition?
Or is it that the result of the game will be beyond everyone's expectations, so he emphasizes it like this?
This thought made him feel inexplicably irritated, and he was beginning to lose his temper.
"Okay, let me announce it now. The designer who won the third place in this international designer competition is..."
Carlos Jutta spoke very slowly, obviously intending to arouse everyone's curiosity.
Wang Song even held his breath and clenched his fists tightly.
"Lucian MacIntosh!"
The third place was not Ye Yao. He felt extremely complicated, but there was already applause from the audience.
Lucien McIntosh stood up from his seat, nodded slightly to Anthony Lawes and the others, and then walked towards the podium.
"Don't worry, don't worry, there's still a second place."
Wang Da Kui was also extremely nervous and kept muttering to himself.
He completely forgot that he had previously affirmed that Ye Yao could win the championship.
Carlos Jutta's voice sounded again, "The second place winner is Daryl Cabell!"
“Oh my god!”
When Wang Da Kui heard that it was another foreigner's name, he couldn't help but swear.
As for that guy called Anthony, the masters said he was definitely the candidate for the championship. Now the second and third place have already been announced, so doesn't that mean his aunt has no hope?
As expected, Wang Song collapsed completely on the chair like a deflated ball.
Although the final champion has not been announced yet, he has completely given up hope.
Qi Zhen and Ruan Kai looked at each other at the same time, both somewhat disappointed.
I originally thought Ye Yao would be able to get a rank...
