Chapter 486: Report Yourself

An hour was not even enough for an ordinary designer to start sketching an outline.
Qin Zizhuo pretended to be calm as he looked at the blueprint on the screen in front of him, but in fact, he had already rejected several modifications in his mind.
On the other hand, Yan Xiu only thought for a while before starting to draw.
The scene shared on the big screen could directly show the progress of the two of them.
Compared to Qin Zizhuo’s nervousness, Yan Xiu’s attitude was the opposite. Not only was his mood calm and relaxed, but even after changing the theme, many new inspirations appeared.
“Yan Xiu’s stroke is exactly what I had on my mind. I think it looks good even without being finished. Finally, the flashy style of Qin Zizhou is gone!”
“Previously, I even complained to my friend that this design displayed too much of the wearer’s figure… But today, after seeing the modifications made by designer Yan Xiu, I feel that he solved this problem with a single stroke. He’s so amazing.”
“Everyone went to look at Yan Xiu’s design?”
“Of course. Otherwise, should we look at Qin Zizhuo trying to squeeze out toothpaste from the empty tube?”
At this moment, Wen Ning’s mood couldn’t be said to be bright. After changing the format of the competition at the last minute, she didn’t even have the chance or time to tamper with it.
Even if she wanted to help Qin Zizhuo now, she was powerless.
In silence, Qin Zizhuo made a heavy stroke.
The thick black lines were especially prominent and ugly on the design draft. It was more like they were drawn in Qin Zizhuo’s heart and stirred up a pool of muddy water.
However, after realizing that the changes were counterproductive, he wiped them away again. His actions were repeated, and it really matched with the netizens’ evaluation of “squeezing out toothpaste from the empty tube”.
He only felt that he hated Yan Xiu even more now. He even hated the design draft in front of him.
Time continued to pass minute by minute. Yan Xiu was making the final modifications, but Qin Zizhuo’s anxiety and inspiration were in chaos, and his mind was empty.
He thought that he would definitely win, so he naturally didn’t make too much preparations. The last-minute change in the competition was clearly not within Qin Zizhuo’s expectations.
“Time’s up. Please stop drawing,” the emcee announced appropriately.
Although it was said to be for the two of them, these words were actually directed at Qin Zizhuo, who was still “drawing hard”.
Yan Xiu’s plan for the allocated time was very detailed. He had already confirmed his draft five minutes before the end. On the other hand, Qin Zizhuo could only make a last-minute to cram and use his experience to make as many satisfactory changes as possible.
However, the more he changed and repeatedly drew, the more pressure Qin Zizhuo felt.
After hearing the emcee’s words, Qin Zizhuo hesitated and looked at his work again and again. In the end, he chose to put down his pen.
At this moment, on the stage, even if he wanted to, he couldn’t formulate any schemes. Qin Zizhuo could still tell this.
After Qin Zizhuo and Yan Xiu confirmed that it was over, they stood up from their seats at the same time and came to the center to stand side by side.
The two of them stood in front of the work they had modified and couldn’t see the results behind them.
Murong Qiao took out her phone curiously, wanting to see what the people on the Internet thought of the work. However, as soon as she entered the broadcast room, she saw that the comments were all saying that Qin Zizhuo was not good.
“In the past, I felt that it was because the client factor limited Qin Zizhuo’s performance. Today, I realized that he was purely taking the path of money. His style of accepting business orders had not changed at all.”
“Although, this modified shirt exposed the chest area… Isn’t it unsuitable for a nun to wear??”
“Qin Zizhuo, I was originally quite confident in you. But what is this modification? You’re even inferior to my classmate.”
“Previously, when Qin Zizhuo was interviewed, he said that he liked Yan Xiu’s design style very much. He said it as if he was a fanatical fan. Why did I feel that my feelings were deceived when this manuscript was handed over?”
There were all kinds of excuses, but without exception, they were all saying that Qin Zizhuo had not modified the work well this time. The netizens’ voices were so loud that she didn’t even see many words of praise for her Fourth Brother.
Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows and looked up at the work that Qin Zizhuo finally handed over.
Just by looking at the clothes, there was nothing to pick on. The contemporary fashion elements were all top-notch. Moreover, the design of the creases and details were ingenious.
However, the key was that the original intention of this series was for the nuns. She didn’t know if Qin Zizhuo had never seen it before or if he was simply flustered. Although he used the technique he was best at, this style was clearly not compatible.
In order to cater to the aesthetic sense of the masses, his design was inevitably too… sexy for nuns.
If Yan Xiu saw the other party’s modification, he would probably throw a faint sentence of “putting the cart before the horse” over.
“Two minutes to the end of the voting round.”
Murong Qiao looked at the gradually increasing votes and a sentence suddenly appeared in her mind.
It was all because of his peers.
This time, Qin Zizhuo’s disappointing work drew a direct contrast to the originally excellent work of Yan Xiu beside him, lifting his score of seventy to eighty points to a position of ninety-nine points.
Thinking of the confident smile on Qin Zizhuo’s face at the beginning of the competition, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but hold back her laughter. She lowered her head and shrugged her shoulders as she snickered.
As the gap in the number of votes widened, there was no doubt about the final winner.
Yan Xiu had nearly twice the votes of Qin Zizhuo and won the Muse design competition with ease.
As the cheers gradually subsided, Murong Qiao quietly left her seat, planning to go backstage in advance to celebrate with her Fourth Brother after he left the stage.
“Congratulations.” An unwilling male voice entered her ears.
Murong Qiao turned sideways and saw Qin Zizhuo and her Fourth Brother, Yan Xiu, walking down the stairs side by side towards her.
Yan Xiu’s expression was calm. “Same to you.”
Same to you?
Qin Zizhuo was stunned. After understanding that Yan Xiu was congratulating his second place finish, his expression darkened.
“You—” Qin Zizhuo was about to flare up.
However, when he turned around and saw Murong Qiao standing backstage, he was immediately stunned.
He immediately thought of the scene of Murong Qiao leading the way just now. “Are you in cahoots?”
Qin Zizhuo’s words were a little loud, causing the surrounding staff to look over.
When Murong Qiao suggested it, Qin Zizhuo naturally remembered this person because of her overly beautiful face.
“Cahoots?” Murong Qiao only repeated.
She didn’t refute immediately and walked to Yan Xiu’s side. This action deepened Qin Zizhuo’s “misunderstanding” of the two of them.
“I thought you were so noble…” Qin Zizhuo sneered.
This time, he thought that Yan Xiu was better. He actually didn’t expect the other party to use such a method.
He turned to Murong Qiao. “What benefits did he give you to let you help him like this?”
Murong Qiao’s tone was neither fast nor slow. “Just because some people like to use schemes and small tricks, do they think that everyone is like them?”
These words directly stepped on Qin Zizhuo’s guilty conscience.
“What do you mean?” Qin Zizhuo panicked.
Murong Qiao was innocent. “Looks like I wasn’t wrong?”
She didn’t know for sure if Qin Zizhuo had employed any schemes, so she casually tricked him. In the end, from the other party’s reaction, it seemed that she was right.
Seeing that his question was blocked by Murong Qiao in the same tone, Qin Zizhuo’s face darkened.
But he was still unwilling to lose the competition just like that.
He forced himself to remain calm. “I’m going to report you to the officials.”
“Report?” Yan Xiu, who had been silent all this while, spoke.
Qin Zizhuo’s heart suddenly skipped a beat when he heard the other party’s voice.
Yan Xiu looked up at him. “Report yourself for fooling around with Judge Wen?”
These words frightened Qin Zizhuo.
…He saw it?
The imposing aura that Qin Zizhuo was about to raise instantly dissipated because of Yan Xiu’s words.
When Murong Qiao saw this, she immediately understood. So this Qin Zizhuo had something going on with the judge. No wonder he was smiling like that just now..
