Chapter 344 Lovely People

Zhou Mingchen reached out and touched her head.

The person in charge said, "Dear contestants, thank you for coming to Country Y from all over the country to participate in our competition. The competition is about to begin. The sponsor has prepared some specialties from all over the world for the contestants. Before the competition, everyone should eat and drink enough and greet the competition in the best mental state."

After the person in charge finished speaking, the translator repeated it, and the backstage quickly turned into a gathering place for gourmet food.

Sure enough, they are some of the more famous delicacies from all over the world.

Xu Yi went with Song Yuqian to pick out food, and Lin Rachel and Yuan Siyu followed behind them.

Yuan Siyu said, "You performed very well in the last competition. You will definitely be able to do it this time if you have done enough homework."

"I just have to try my best. I'll accept any result."

Yuan Siyu took the plate and suddenly walked to a kind of food, "Sister Yuqian, braised pork!"

"Braised pork?"

Song Yuqian couldn't believe it. She walked over and could vaguely see the food inside through the lid. She opened the lid and saw the braised pork.

Xu Yi smiled, "There really is everything."

Not far away, Zhou Minglan and Zhou Zhiyin were sitting together eating with the Chinese man they had just met.

Xu Yi stared at the man from time to time, and the man would smile at him when he raised his eyes.

This scene was seen by Zhou Minglan, "Shameless, what a vixen, seducing men in the competition."

Zhou Mingchen was probably irritated by her sudden use of dirty words, "What did you say?"

"Brother, that person is the one I told you about, Xu Yi, the one who has been bullying me in Jiangcheng."

Xu Yi was wearing a Chinese blue skirt, looking like a pretty girl next door. She blinked her big eyes and was extremely adorable. There was no sign of bullying at all.

Zhou Minglan, on the other hand, was sarcastic in her words.

No matter how much he favors his sister, Zhou Mingchen is neither blind nor deaf.

"Have I spoiled you too much? She is a contestant, and you are also a contestant. Even if there is a conflict, you must maintain your proper demeanor here."

Zhou Minglan was a little stunned. "Brother, when I told you before, didn't you say you would help me vent my anger when you had the chance?"

"Brother Chen." Zhou Zhiyin took a deep breath, "It was a misunderstanding before. Artist Xu is a good person. She and Minglan have a grudge."

Zhou Minglan frowned, "Sister..."

Zhou Mingchen's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Be careful."

After another meal, my stomach was full. Then the important person on the stage finished his speech and the primary election began.

Xu Yi was fully prepared for the primary election. Before going on stage, Lin Rachel's palms were sweaty and she was shaking with nervousness.

Xu Yi was not nervous at first, but when he saw her so nervous, he quickly said, "Don't tremble."

"I don't want to make a fool of myself. If I don't make it through the primary election, I'll be embarrassed when I go back."

Foreign competitions are different from domestic ones. Domestic ones require each candidate to draw their own design and no one is allowed to walk around and look at other people’s designs.

In this competition, everyone can view each other's designs halfway through their drawing. In other words, there is no privacy between contestants when designing on the stage.

The judging criteria will still be based on the final design submission, but the stage will be a bit chaotic...

Xu Yi said, "Everyone's design style is different. If someone wants to copy the details, we can't prevent it."

Lin Rachel nodded and glanced at Xu Yi, "Then should we look at other people's designs?"

"Watch it, why not? The game says you can watch it."

Lin Rachel felt uneasy, "I'm afraid of plagiarism."

Xu Yi asked her, "Did you see those two people over there?"

Lin Rachel saw that there were people all in front of her and didn't understand which two people Xu Yi was talking about.

"Cassia and Judy, do you know them?"

"Do you know them?"

"I don't know them. I heard from others that their designs are amazing and extraordinary. Even their designs can be seen by everyone. Even if there is plagiarism, most people will only plagiarize those who are capable and famous. What are we?"

After hearing what she said, Rachel Lin felt much better. “You are really good at comforting people.”

"I don't know how to comfort people, I just tell the truth."

As soon as the primary election started, Song Yanming arrived and sat in an inconspicuous position.

After the organizer found out, they sent someone to invite Song Yanming, "Mr. Song, your seat is in the front."

“Is it fixed?”

"Not yet, we can make flexible arrangements, but..."

"Then I'll stay here and tell Reese that I don't want anyone to disturb me."

From the beginning of the preliminary round, this competition is not timed, that is to say, contestants can perform freely here all day long and do not have to submit their manuscripts until the evening.

This is a good thing for all the contestants, but it is also a bad thing. Some more famous designers raised objections to the organizers before the preliminary selection began.

“Our designs will be copied.”

"If we are allowed to walk around freely on the stage and look at the designs at will, then what is the point of our competition?"

"The details of each design will give people different feelings when it comes from different designers. This is fair, just and, of course, open."

"It's not fair, our designs will be copied."

Judy was particularly opposed to it and had a heated argument with Mr. Reese, the organizer.

Casillas was a little better. He took the lead at first, but later, seeing that the organizer insisted, he had to give up as he didn't want to waste his time.

After arguing for several minutes, Judy finally gave in and went on stage reluctantly.

To prevent their works from being plagiarized, Judy and Cassia looked at each other.

Judy said, "Let's do this quickly?"

"Um……"

Only by submitting your manuscript before everyone else can you prevent your work from being plagiarized.

Xu Yi and Lin Rachel were quietly drawing their own designs, and they were not far away from each other.

Song Yuqian looked at the busy contestants on the stage and said, "It would be great if she could take a look at Judy and Cassia's designs after she finishes drawing her own design, even if it's just for a glance."

Yuan Siyu said, "Sister Xu Yi has already designed it very well, why should we look at other people's designs?"

"You can accumulate experience by watching more and see what style they use to design for this competition."

Zhou Mingchen was sitting in the audience, his eyes attracted by a blue figure. He hadn't seen a girl dressed like this for many years. She was wearing a Chinese-style blue skirt and walked with a breeze. She wasn't stunning, but she looked more and more lovely and charming.

Zhou Mingchen suddenly smiled, and his assistant Owen quickly flattered him, "Mr. Zhou, Miss Minglan and Miss Zhiyin both look very good."

"Owen."

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhou?"

"how is she?"

"Who?"

"number twelve."

Xu Yi got number 12, and the light of number 12 also lit up behind her.

Owen looked at it for a moment. "It's cute."

"Yeah, cute and pretty."
