At 10:00 AM in Country F, the fashion design competition also started on time.
The judges had already taken their seats, and Yan Xiluo, as a special guest of the organizer, was seated in the center, next to Li Shuyan.
"We hope this competition will bring us more talent."
The Li Group also has a clothing design department, but talent is scarce these days, and the old designers lack innovation. She decided to find a designer who satisfies her and fits the company's design style in this competition.
The clothing design department of the Li Group has always followed the traditional Chinese style, but it is too traditional and lacks creativity. It feels like it does not meet the aesthetics of today's customers. However, they want more people to know about our country's culture, so they need to find more innovative designers to create some more perfect designs without changing the traditional Chinese elements.
"My aunt wants to bring more innovative talents into the group's design department to make traditional Chinese clothing even more perfect and then promote it to the world, right?"
She understood Li Shuyan's thoughts, and she would also help her select people in this regard.
"Those who truly understand me are Luoluo."
Li Shuyan smiled slightly, her beauty captivating, completely different from Yan Xiluo's.
The sight of two stunningly beautiful women sitting together naturally attracted the attention of the media.
The preliminary round eliminated most of the participants.
"What? Auntie, have you found someone you like?"
Yan Xiluo took a sip of water and looked at Li Shuyan. It was time for intermission.
"There are a few that I find somewhat interesting, but I don't know if my later works will be able to move me even more."
She always felt that something was missing.
"Okay, I'll take another look later. I've seen a few promising players, and I'll give them my opinion for you."
Besides the company's designers, she also had other candidates in mind. After all, in the fashion industry, diversity is always more popular and attractive.

Lan Jingyan planned to appear after the awards ceremony, otherwise his appearance would probably distract Yan Xiluo and prevent her from watching the competition properly.

"This is so discouraging! The preliminary rounds are already this tough? We've lost more than half our participants; the later rounds will probably be even more brutal!"
"I think this is good. It's survival of the fittest. If the early stages are too easy, and you get eliminated in the semi-finals, you'll probably be even more mentally devastated. If you don't place in the finals, at least you'll be in the top ten."
"Sigh, looks like I need to practice more. My skills aren't good enough yet; I was eliminated in the preliminary rounds."
"I never expected Qianmeng to be a special guest; she rarely serves as a judge at competitions. She's my favorite designer!"
"It's said that Qianmeng will have a surprise for the top three contestants. I wonder who's so amazing that they can make it into the top three!"
Five designers from LFY Group participated in the competition, including Yan Xiluo's two favorites. All five of them easily passed the preliminary round. Unlike the others, they didn't have time to gossip or chat about the competition.
The five of them were making the most of their time to review the preliminary round, including the judges' comments and suggestions. They also made revisions to their work and planned to have Yan Xiluo review it after the competition.
Perhaps this is the kind of person the LFY Group cultivates!
The semi-finals started soon after, and after this round, only about twenty designers remained.
"Luo Luo, I think No. 11 and No. 52 are pretty good, but I don't know if they have a job yet. If they do, I'll offer double the salary, but I don't know if they would be willing to switch jobs."
She didn't know that the person she had her eye on was the beloved daughter of her granddaughter, whom she had raised herself.
"Auntie, you're not allowed to steal my man, he's mine."
Yan Xiluo felt a sense of crisis; those were her two most treasured designers! She looked at Li Shuyan with feigned seriousness.
"Holy crap! Both of them?"
Of all the contestants she watched, her favorites were number 11 and number 52, and they were both Luo Luo's people? She felt completely drained!
"Yes, I trained them myself, so Auntie, you should take another look! I've picked out a few for you, take a look in a bit: number 41, number 58, and number 103. I think these few are more in line with the current direction of the Li Group."
It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with her two beloved generals, but rather that they didn't embody the traditional Chinese style and were therefore unsuitable for the Li family.
"I have indeed been paying attention to these individuals, and they do seem to fit the current style of the Li family. I will make a final decision later, and we'll see about the finals!"
Luo Luo is right about that; these three fit the bill perfectly!
