Chapter 2762 - 2762 Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (280)
2762 Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (280)
Qiao Ruoxi knew that Feng Tian had started his career at Di Ruiling Jewelry. The legacy of Di Ruiling Jewelry had been passed down for several generations. Furthermore, his reputation as the President of the Fengtian Group was not undeserved.
With Feng Yunan’s help, the few pieces of jewelry that could not be made overnight were finally completed before midnight.
Looking at the finished products, Qiao Ruoxi was both surprised and touched. “They match my original design perfectly. I knew the finished product would be very beautiful.”
“That’s your design.”
Feng Yunan, who was not good at praising people, finally praised her today.
“Thank you. Thank you for helping me today.”
Feng Yunan got up from the table and washed his hands. Then, he said, “Pack up and get ready to go back.”
“Oh.”
Qiao Ruoyi didn’t realize that she, who had been angry at him during the day, wasn’t angry at all now. Instead, she was filled with gratitude toward him.
The two of them returned to the Ocean Pavilion together. Feng Yunan asked Auntie Jiang to prepare supper in advance. When they got home, they casually ate some food and went back to their rooms to rest.
…
The next day.
The finals of the creative jewelry design competition jointly created by Di Ruiling Jewelry and Simu Jewelry would be held at Yun City TV Station.
The organizers of the competition invited three famous designers and collectors from the jewelry and design world to be the judges of the competition.
All the top 24 designers who were selected for the finals would display their jewelry in a static and dynamic manner.
The order of appearance was decided by drawing lots. Qiao Ruoxi was placed at the back. Meanwhile, Ling Xuan, who was also selected, was placed at the front.
Ling Xuan’s wrist had already recovered, and they had already met backstage. The provocation in her eyes was very strong. When she brushed past Qiao Ruoxi, she deliberately whispered into her ear, “Qiao Ruoxi, you will definitely lose!”
However, Qiao Ruoxi ignored her provocation. As for winning or losing, she was already very lucky to be able to make it to the finals and be selected as the top 24 in the country. She really did not expect to win an award.
The reason why Ling Xuan had the confidence to say that was because the three judges had already been bribed by her. When the time came, as long as she had high scores, it would be impossible for Qiao Ruoxi to win the final ranking.
The finals began, and the host took the stage. He knew that there were three judges and two mystery guests.
As soon as the mysterious guests appeared on stage, everyone screamed. This was because they saw the President of the Fengtian Group, Feng Yunan, and the President of the Mu Group, Mu Yunli, appearing on stage together.
It could be said that the two heavyweight big bosses had come tonight. From this, it could be seen how much they valued this finals.
The competition officially began. The participating designers went on stage in order. The big screen began to display their works. The host interviewed them, while the designer explained and answered.
After the first five designers presented their work, it was Ling Xuan’s turn to go on stage. She wore a noble gown and had a proud aura. After going on stage, she looked at her brother.
She was well-aware that she had a determined expression on her face. She believed that as long as her brother was around, he would definitely give his vote to her!
She wanted to be the champion tonight!
Ling Xuan had designed a three-piece set of jewelry that was elegant and luxurious. She had chosen diamonds to match emeralds. Her design was elegant and grand. This was as expected of someone who had returned from studying at a famous Western design school. The designs were infused with Chinese and Western cultural ideas.
As soon as the video was released, the judges praised it. Together with Ling Xuan’s explanation of the inspiration and concept of the design, the judges gave a total score of 9.9 points.
Ling Xuan took the curtain call and left the stage gracefully. Then, the other designers went on stage.
Perhaps it was because Ling Xuan’s designs were too outstanding, so the later works looked relatively ordinary and did not have any highlights.
The first 22 contestants had all gone on stage, and Ling Xuan was still the one who had the highest score. She looked at Qiao Ruoxi, who was so nervous that her face was pale, and smiled smugly.
It was obvious that she was having stage fright, or that she had seen the previous designs and felt inferior.
The host called out the name of the 23rd designer—Qiao Ruoxi. He invited her onto the stage.
Qiao Ruoxi’s mind was a bit blank. After hearing her name, she could not react. In the end, it was Ling Xuan who pushed her.
Qiao Ruoxi suddenly came up from the side of the stage and almost fell. She staggered a few steps before she could steady herself.
Mu Yunli and Feng Yunan stood up almost at the same time when they saw Qiao Ruoxi. They both wanted to help her up, but when they saw that she had regained her balance, they slowly sat down.
Qiao Ruoxi turned to look at Ling Xuan, who was standing in the shadows. The woman’s face was filled with a cold smile.
She was deliberately trying to embarrass her!
Qiao Ruoxi took a deep breath and walked towards the host.
Tonight, she was wearing a simple white dress that was as elegant as a chrysanthemum. She did not have any accessories on her, but she was also so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.
Feng Yunan and Mu Yunli both turned to look at Qiao Ruoxi. Feng Yunan turned to look at Mu Yunli and realized that he was also looking at Qiao Ruoxi. He felt a little upset.
That was his wife. What was Mu Yunli looking at?
The host introduced Qiao Ruoxi first. When he introduced her resume, he also announced to the public that she did not have any degree related to design. In other words, she was an amateur designer.
The three judges exchanged looks. They did not think highly of amateur designers and did not think that they would be able to design anything significant.
They had all learned from Wen Ke’er that Qiao Ruoxi had succeeded because of her relationship with Mu Yunli, the president of the Mu Group. Otherwise, she would not have been qualified to stand here.
Thus, the judges sneered at her.
Qiao Ruoxi greeted everyone present and the audience in front of the TV. Next, the host showed Qiao Ruoxi’s work.
“Next, let’s look at the big screen. Please show us the work of designer No. 23, Qiao Ruoxi.”
After the host announced this, the screen switched to a set of jewelry.
The screen showed a series of jewelry with rubies as the foundation and complementary accessories with rubies and sapphires. The moment the set of jewelry was revealed, everyone gasped in shock.
“Wow… so beautiful!”
“My eyes lit up! How did she come up with this idea? She actually dares to present her work in a way where rubies and sapphires clash!”
“I really can’t believe that a person who has never studied design could design such beautiful jewelry!”
…
The audience was surprised, and the host excitedly interviewed her. “Miss Qiao Ruoxi, what’s the special meaning of you naming your work ‘Time’?”
Qiao Ruoxi raised the microphone in her hand and began to explain, “I got the inspiration for ‘Time’ after hearing a tragic love story…”
She explained the love story she had heard from Mu Yunli.
“After listening to that story, I realized the power of love. What is love?”
