As the host in the center of the stadium was about to take his place, Han Jiayin, as a contestant, sat in the front row. During the draw, she looked at Qi Jiu, who hadn't moved an inch, with a smile in her eyes.
"It seems that some people still have self-awareness and know their own capabilities. It's good that they don't embarrass themselves and waste time. Otherwise, we would have to trouble Teacher G to look at another document."
Although the sentence did not name names, everyone around could tell who the speaker was.
Tong Lu, standing in front, listened to Han Jiayin's words and then looked at Qi Jiu sitting next to her. Her expression remained unchanged. She simply nodded slightly to the girl and then looked away.
She didn't want to get involved in what was between the two of them, but nodding at Qi Jiu seemed to have unknowingly refuted Han Jiayin's statement.
Yuan Ye's appearance silenced the entire venue, and with the host's guidance, the designers began lining up to get their numbers, while the audience sat neatly in their seats.
Suddenly, a figure approached from afar, seemingly carrying a certain aura as he walked.
Qi Jiu turned her head and saw Shi Yu in a suit, striding towards her.
Now, it's not just her gaze that's on Shi Yu; it's likely that most people in the entire venue are following Shi Yu's gaze.
Aside from his stunningly handsome face, his presence was naturally captivating, perhaps simply because he was the only one moving at a fast pace. Gone was the playful demeanor he displayed in front of Qi Jiu; dressed in a black suit, he appeared extremely serious.
His behavior exudes an inexplicable sense of gentlemanliness.
Han Jiayin looked at the person approaching, her expression seemingly changing. She seemed to have forgotten how she had looked down on the person in the office before. Now, watching Shi Yu slowly approach, she cleared her throat.
"Teacher Shiyu, I'm sorry about last time, I..."
"You're leaving. Are you sitting here? Am I the judge?"
Shi Yu looked down at Qi Jiu, her face showing a hint of helplessness.
The incident happened so suddenly that Han Jiayin's mouth was still agape when she saw Shi Yu walking straight towards Qi Jiu as if she hadn't seen her at all.
The awkward expression on her face had somehow turned into shock.
What was even more surprising was what Shigure said.
Judges? Is Qi Jiu really a judge? Not only that, but something about this sounds increasingly off…
Jiang Xin looked at the girl so close to her, her breath hitched, her pink lips opened and closed, clearly she had something to say, but in the end she didn't say a word.
Zhu Luoxing and Chu Cangyu, standing to the side, were much more direct.
"Holy crap..."
Forgive them for their lack of education, but they're already using these two words to express their amazement.
There was something they didn't know whether to say or not. They'd previously said this man was G's assistant, but now that they'd heard this, could it be that Qi Jiu was...?
He Qingfeng's expression was even more wooden, while Qi Jiu's expression remained unchanged. She said "Oh" and stood up from her seat. Seeing Shi Yu's somewhat helpless expression, she even punched him.
Shi Yu: "..."
Seeing Jiang Xin's stunned expression, she gently pinched her cheek with her slender fingers. "Wait a moment, it shouldn't take long."
As he spoke, he strode onto the stage along with Yu.
Along the way, Qi Jiu could clearly see Han Jiayin's furrowed brows and Tong Lu's slightly stunned expression.
"Qi Jiu, what exactly are you..."
Qi Jiu glanced back at Han Jiayin, a bright smile playing on her lips. "You'll find out soon enough, won't you? You wouldn't believe me anyway."
With that, he strode toward the judges' table and, under everyone's gaze, sat down confidently in the seat marked with the 'G'.
This move stunned everyone in the stadium. On the large screen behind the judges' panel was Qi Jiu's adorable face. The stadium cameras, always quick to capitalize on opportunities, seemed to have found a business opportunity.
The people in the stadium stared wide-eyed at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces on the screen.
They had seen this little face countless times online, but they never expected to see it in this kind of setting.
And the seat she's currently sitting in is... G? In other words, the eldest daughter of the Shen family is here as G?
Han Jiayin, Tong Lu, and He Qingfeng and others in the first row also looked equally bewildered.
Tong Lu's personality was what it was; seeing all this, he paused, then looked at the girl on the chair in front of him as if suddenly realizing what had happened. In just a few seconds, he had already figured out what had occurred.
After looking at each other, Jiang Xin and the other three finally focused their attention on Qi Jiu on the stage.
"So, this is the assistant and good friend that Godfather was talking about?"
"Is this why she said G looks similar to her and asked me if she's pretty?"
Zhu Luoxing and Chu Cangyu looked at the girl on the stage, seemingly clenching their teeth, but in the end they still sighed.
"What you said doesn't seem to make any mistakes."
Although Yu was her assistant, the two of them had such a good relationship, weren't they just friends?
For some reason, Chu Cangyu suddenly smiled with a mix of helplessness and doting, looking at the people on the stage and shaking his head.
Jiang Xin and the others had the same expression. Although they always called her "junior sister" and "godfather," she was still their junior sister after all.
They seemed to accept this fact quickly, because there had been some signs beforehand, but Qi Jiu had deliberately concealed them.
Only Han Jiayin stared blankly at the person smiling at her, her eyes fixed on Qi Jiu for a long time. For a moment, her mind seemed to forget to think.
What's going on? Qi Jiu is... G? The G she's been searching for?
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the question Qi Jiu had asked her in the classroom that day: Is G male or female?
After asking the question, he also made her remember what he said.
Recalling her answer and that arrogant expression, Han Jiayin suddenly felt as if her face had been slapped, and it hurt a lot.
Thinking back to Shigure's reaction earlier, I instantly felt like I'd been played. Wasn't this like trying to teach someone to wield a great sword in front of an expert?
"Hello, could you move?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, as if calling Han Jiayin's wandering soul back to reality.
By the time she realized it, she was already quite far behind the people in front of her, so she quickened her pace to catch up.
However, while queuing, my mind was still a bit foggy. I looked at the judges' panel on the stage several times before I was sure that the person sitting behind the 'G' sign was the junior I had been getting along with for a while.
"Designer, you should start the draw."
