The host opened the black envelope in his hand and pulled out a card with the name of the winning design company written on it. No one else could see it except him.
Many people at the scene couldn't help but clench their fingers, hold their breath, and silently recite the names of their companies in their hearts, as if the more times they recited them, the greater their chances of winning.
"I declare that the winner of this competition is Boya Design Company! Congratulations!" The host looked at Xia Xi in the audience. He had almost forgotten the representatives of the previous design companies, but Xia Xi had just presented on stage, so he was impressed. "I look forward to the future cooperation between Xu Corporation and Boya."
Boyaa won.
The design company team, whose hopes were dashed, sighed with regret and turned their heads to cast envious glances in the direction of the Boya team.
If you say you are not convinced, there is definitely some dissatisfaction. Everyone thinks that their own plan is the best. After all, they have put in so much effort for it. But if you say you question the result, there is no such thing.
They have seen Boya's design draft and it is indeed brilliant.
The fairness and justice of an open competition is reflected here. Each party can see the strength of the other party and there is no possibility of cheating.
On the other hand, the Boya team was completely stunned, unable to believe what they had heard. The plan had been stolen yesterday, and they felt like the end of the world had arrived prematurely. Everything before them was dark, leaving them feeling lost and helpless.
Today, Xia Xi called everyone over, and they were like zombies. It was Xia Xi who reminded them to cheer up before entering the door and not to make a fool of themselves by the enemy. This stimulated them to hold their heads high and chests out, creating the illusion of a strong momentum.
In fact, only they themselves know that they are very weak inside.
No one expected that Xia Xi would come up with such a beautiful plan like a magic trick, turning defeat into victory and turning the tide.
Even when Boya was announced as the winner, they still felt it was unbelievable and wondered if they were daydreaming.
"We won?"
"Did I hear correctly?"
"Xu was captured?"
"Who can pinch me?"
"Am I still asleep?"
Listening to the silly questions from the team members, Xia Xi smiled and shook his head, and told them very confidently: "Yes, you heard it right, we won, Boya won."
After hearing this answer, several people looked at each other, and after a few seconds, tears filled their eyes.
"I thought it was impossible, but Xia Gong actually gave us such a big surprise!"
They stood up and were about to come over to hug Xia Xi. Xia Xi pulled the corners of his mouth, kicked the ground with his feet, and backed away with the chair under him, whispering a warning: "Calm down, there are other people here."
With just one sentence, he stopped them from surrounding him.
The other design teams present had no idea what was going on and just thought their performance was too pretentious. Shouldn't they high-five and cheer for each other at such a moment of victory?
Why are you all crying?
Gao Ge didn't want to cry at first, but it was because they created such a great atmosphere that she couldn't help crying. She raised her hands and fanned her eyes, forcing herself to hold back her tears.

The competition ended perfectly. Wang Xiao left first and called Xu Yanfeng as he left to report the results: "Mr. Xu, the competition is over. Boya Design Company received the most votes."
Xu Yanfeng was not surprised by this result. Xia Xi had been an outstanding student in school. During her undergraduate studies, she was spotted by Professor Li Zongyu, who recommended her for postgraduate study and appointed her as his supervisor.
Unfortunately, she dropped out of school halfway, which made Li Zongyu so angry that his blood pressure rose.
"Well, finalize the contract as soon as possible."
"I know."
Wang Xiao waited for the other party to hang up the phone, but after a few seconds of silence, Xu Yanfeng suddenly spoke, "You'll make an announcement later. Tomorrow night, Xu Corporation will hold a cocktail party at the Junrui Hotel to celebrate the partnership with Boya Design Company. If the unsuccessful design companies are not in a hurry to leave, they can stay for a drink and promote communication."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Wang Xiao agreed.
After the call ended, Wang Xiao did not delay and immediately instructed his assistant to send emails to all the participating design teams, inviting them to attend the cocktail party hosted by Xu tomorrow night.
Therefore, after receiving the email, the team members who had not yet left all exclaimed that Xu was thoughtful and impeccable.
Although the theme of the cocktail party was to celebrate the cooperation between Xu and Boya, it did not exclude the unsuccessful design companies. Having such an opportunity for communication would naturally only bring benefits and no disadvantages.
Xu’s projects include more than just Jingyu Garden. What if there are other opportunities for cooperation?
Xu’s management will definitely be present at the cocktail party, and maybe they can come up with a project while chatting.
Therefore, no one was in a hurry to leave and chose to stay one more day to attend the cocktail party tomorrow night.
Xia Xi didn't care about the cocktail party. She just wanted to go home and sleep in bed. She could deal with tomorrow's affairs tomorrow.
As luck would have it, they ran into Cheng Bai's men in the corridor. The sleepiness in Xia Xi's body disappeared in an instant, and he stared at Zhang Wanli, the leader, with cold eyes.
Zhang Wanli's face was darker than the suit he was wearing, and his eyes were gloomy. The people following him had the same expression.
How could he have imagined that Xia Xi had a backup plan that could turn such a bad situation around.
"Some people are shameless. They don't use their own brains and just steal other people's plans. What's the result? Don't they still fail? I really want to curse them and say they deserve it! But they are a bunch of old bastards, not human beings. I guess they can't understand human language." Xiao Pei, who was standing next to Xia Xi, curled his lips and sneered.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the team immediately echoed him: "Xiao Pei, you are really something! How can you call someone an old turtle? You should call him a rat, a rat hiding in the gutter!"
