Everyone was stunned when they saw the support ratings for Fu Qingruo and Yi Youyou on the big screen.
Both are at 92%, a tie?
The host smiled and clapped: "Congratulations to both of you for advancing to the next round of the finals!"
Yi Youyou was so angry that she felt suffocated and couldn't feel happy at all.
Only she knew that her vote was inflated; if Yi Hai hadn't helped her hire online trolls to garner votes, she would have definitely lost this round.
Why!
She was unwilling to accept it! How could she lose to Fu Qingruo? Absolutely not!
...
The second theme returned to the style of fashionable cities.
They not only look at the clothes, but also at the styling, and they recruit models to compete in a fashion show.
The production team specially selected three professional models from various countries and had the three designers compete for them.
Actually, just looking at her body proportions and appearance, she looks great.
But one of them was a dark-skinned model, and Yi Youyou only glanced at him before frowning and looking away.
I just can't appreciate this skin tone at all. Wouldn't it be a waste to pair it with her clothes?
So she walked straight past the other model and approached another fair-skinned model, extending her hand and saying in fluent English, "Hello, I'm Yi Youyou. May I invite you to be my partner? I promise you'll shine on the runway..."
The fair-skinned beauty completely ignored what she said, walked past Yi Youyou, and strode up to Fu Qingruo, saying in broken Chinese, "Excuse me, are you the internationally renowned designer, Fu Qingruo?"
Fu Qingruo glanced at her, "I am Fu Qingruo."
"That's wonderful! I'm your most enthusiastic fan. I've seen all your work and have always hoped that one day I could wear a garment designed by you. That would be the highest honor for me." The fair-skinned beauty's eyes sparkled with longing. "Could I have the honor of becoming your model?"
Yi Youyou's face was extremely pale.
The person who ignored her was extremely enthusiastic towards Fu Qingruo.
On what grounds?
Fu Qingruo is famous internationally, but she's a nobody in China right now!
Thinking of this, Yi Youyou felt a strong sense of resentment. She suddenly asked, "Excuse me, miss, have you read the news in China?"
The fair-skinned beauty turned her head coldly: "What do you want to say?"
Yi Youyou was startled by her gaze, and when she came to her senses, she was immediately filled with dread.
What was she about to say?
This is a live broadcast!
If she were to directly reveal those dark thoughts, how would netizens view her?
"I...no, it's nothing."
She tried to change the subject, but the fair-skinned beauty crossed her arms and looked down at her with sarcasm, saying, "I think you want to ask me if I've seen Fu Qingruo's scandals, right? So what if I have?"
Yi Youyou waved her hands repeatedly, denying it outright: "That's not what I meant."
The fair-skinned beauty continued, "I know that there have been rumors circulating in your country lately that she has a low character and bullies newcomers. It's utterly ridiculous!"
Having lived abroad for so many years, I've always heard that Ms. Fu's works have become popular again, won awards again, and won so many awards that she can't even count them all.
She is a low-key person who never appears in the media, but everyone knows her talent and ability. People in the industry call her the Ice Queen. She is usually serious and doesn't smile much, but she is passionate about design and is very kind to all the younger generation who come to ask her for advice.
"Over the years, in such a large international fashion circle, she has never been criticized. Her talent is evident to all. I never expected that upon returning to your China, she would be attacked like this. Isn't that laughable?"
Yi Youyou turned pale after being spoken to.
The live stream room was unusually quiet.
Everyone was recalling what the white model had said earlier, and it seemed... to make a lot of sense!
Given Fu Qingruo's current status and position, is it really necessary to suppress newcomers?
Everyone has seen her design skills; it's impossible to say they're ugly.
Could it be that Yi Youyou's words misled them?
[Seriously? You believe just a few words from this foreign woman? Maybe she's a hired troll for Fu Qingruo! She's participating in this competition to clear her name, isn't she? This is her strategy, don't fall for it.]
[Exactly! Could it be faked that our Youyou has suffered so much, remaining unknown for the past two years and being suppressed by Fu Qingruo?]
[So many Chinese people in the industry have pointed out problems with Fu Qingruo, yet you insist on believing a foreign model?]
[It must have been Fu Qingruo who hired them to put on an act, haha, I saw through it a long time ago.]
For a moment, everyone wavered, only to be immediately mocked by the esteemed VIP client, "Goddess, I Love You": [How come you're all such brilliant detectives? You can tell they're faking it just by looking? Please use your brains and do some research online. This white woman is international supermodel Darcy, who has worked with countless famous designers. With her status, why would she need to fake it?]
After hearing his statement, netizens went online to check and found that it was indeed true.
Therefore, Dassie's words were sincere and heartfelt; she truly believed in Fu Qingruo.
And yet, as citizens of the same country, they have never trusted their own designers.
In the silence, one netizen slowly commented: "I wonder if anyone noticed the key point? Yi Youyou was deliberately guiding the conversation, trying to make the white model aware of Fu Qingruo's scandal, so she would abandon her and choose herself!"
[Heh, you guys just realized that now! I've always thought Yi Youyou was just a pretentious hypocrite. She seems gentle on the outside, but every line she says is calculated. It's disgusting.]
I feel like through this live broadcast, I'm gradually seeing through Yi Youyou's true colors.
The program continued, and after listening to what the fair-skinned beauty Daxi had to say, Yi Youyou felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face, and was extremely embarrassed in an instant.
Darcy, however, didn't bother to spare any more attention for her. Instead, she turned to Fu Qingruo and asked with a bright smile, "Can I be your partner?"
Fu Qingruo's heart stirred slightly, and she was about to speak.
"Wait a minute!" The dark-skinned model suddenly walked over and said bluntly, "I would also like Miss Fu to be my partner."
Darcy's eyes were sharp. "I was the one who spoke to Miss Fu first. Everything should be done according to the principle of first come, first served."
The dark-skinned model argued forcefully: "As long as she hasn't agreed to your request, I still have a chance!"
Darcy glared at her like she was a stray cat looking at a philandering cat, "Don't even think about it."
The dark-skinned model smiled slyly: "This isn't your decision; you'll have to ask Miss Fu!"
Fu Qingruo: "..." What's with this feeling of two women vying for one man?
It seems she has become a fickle woman.
Moreover, she wondered if it was just her imagination, but the dark-skinned model's expression seemed familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
