Chapter 961 Contempt the Opponent
Xu Yi didn't care what others said and waited quietly for the people in his group to show up.
As the big screen rolled, everyone was looking forward to it.
Throughout the competition, although there were many talented contestants from Dijing, the only one who truly stepped out of Dijing and was recognized for his abilities was Liang Wei. As for the remaining few designers, although they had good abilities, their awards were nothing compared to Xu Yi.
News about Xu Yi's disdain for the contestants spread like wildfire, and was reported by various media outlets, causing a huge uproar.
Song Yanming just glanced at it on his phone and ignored it. The fact that the information could spread so quickly showed that the organizer wanted to use Xu Yi to stir up the popularity.
If the organizer could get a lot of traffic by making a fuss about Xu Yi, then it would be impossible for her to be eliminated midway, let alone not be given a ranking.
The key still lies in what Xu Yi does and what results he can achieve.
He is quite confident in Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was watching the big screen with everyone else. It was already afternoon and according to normal time, Xu Yi should be taking a nap in the studio.
The scrolling big screen suddenly stopped. Xu Yi looked up and saw that the person in her group was none other than Liang Wei.
Xu Yi looked at Liang Wei, and Liang Wei also looked at Xu Yi.
For a moment, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. It was absolutely no difficulty at all.
The organizers must have wanted to put Jiang Cheng and Di Jing, two outstanding designers, together to compete with each other in order to create some public opinion. In name, they were co-designing designers, but the aloof designers would never allow the other party to interfere with their designs.
Liang Wei looked at Xu Yi with some caution in her eyes. After the list came out, everyone returned to their working positions and sat down face to face.
This was the last group. Everyone was very clear about the rules. They looked at each other and waited for the organizer's staff to hand out paper, pens and other tools.
Xu Yi: "You can draw whatever you want. You go first."
Liang Wei was about to warn Xu Yi, but suddenly heard Xu Yi say this. She frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Literally." Xu Yi said, "Internal friction will only waste our time. You and I both know that this is just a preliminary round. It's fine as long as we can pass it."
Liang Wei was a little surprised that Xu Yi was so thin, and she didn't want Xu Yi to steal her limelight.
Soon, pens and paper were distributed, and Liang Wei started drawing on the paper. Xu Yi was not idle either, and kept chatting with Liang Wei.
Xu Yi: "You draw very well."
Liang Wei thought to herself, she had been the first in the Teikyo National Competition for three consecutive years. How could she have won first place without some real ability?
Liang Wei ignored Xu Yi and continued drawing.
She draws slowly, but every stroke is skillful and she moves very carefully.
Xu Yi just sat there the whole time, not moving. Han Fei was getting anxious watching her through the screen: "What is Xiaoyi thinking about? She has been completely overshadowed by this woman!"
The organizers did not expect Xu Yi's attitude to be so lazy. They thought that the cooperation between two strong designers would definitely create sparks, so the organizers deliberately made such arrangements.
But I didn't expect it to be so bland.
Xu Yi had no intention of competing with Liang Wei, which allowed Liang Wei to perform well throughout the game.
Xu Yi observed Liang Wei writing, composing, and perfecting every detail.
When it was almost over, Xu Yi suddenly stood up and added a touch to the design.
Liang Wei saw her action and paused with the pen in her hand.
She looked at Xu Yi, and seemed somewhat dissatisfied that Xu Yi had started to work on her design.
Xu Yi: "If I don't do anything in collaborative design, your drawing will just be a piece of waste paper no matter how good it is."
Xu Yi smiled at Liang Wei, and Liang Wei thought to herself, what a weirdo.
It is easy to avoid an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. It seems that Xu Yi is shooting an open attack, but to Liang Wei, it is definitely a hidden arrow.
However, Xu Yi did have some skills. She quickly spotted the shortcomings of the design and made up for them in time, which was the finishing touch. Although Liang Wei was not very satisfied with Xu Yi and regarded her as a rival and disliked her, she had to acknowledge her strength through this stroke.
Jiangcheng Song Yanming is indeed amazing. It is said that it was Song Yanming who brought her to her current position, but if she did not have the ability, she would not have been promoted to such a high position.
Liang Wei continued to paint, not wanting to be outdone, and added a few more strokes, but then she erased them.
Xu Yi held his chin with one hand, he could hardly open his eyes, and was about to fall asleep.
The organizers were sitting in a room and everything was in chaos.
"What's going on with Xu Yi? They specially arranged a competition between her and Liang Wei, but how come this is the result... What is she doing? As a designer, this is a competition, and she has no sense of competition at all?"
It seems to be cooperation, but in fact it is also a kind of competition between people.
Another staff member of the organizer said: "The previous two groups were creating conflicts, but this group is special. This Xu Yi has already generated a lot of ratings for us, higher than the previous two groups."
It's normal that this group has higher ratings than the previous two groups. Three heavyweights are in it, and there is also Zhou Zhiyin from Jiangcheng, who was quite famous a few years ago...
Suddenly a staff member laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
The staff member smiled and said: "The action of Xu Yi holding up his eyelids just now was made into an emoticon by netizens."
They all said Xu Yi was very cute. He seemed like he came to the competition right after falling asleep. He made a few moves during the whole competition and was sleepy most of the time. He was either yawning, holding his chin with one hand, or propping up his eyes with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands.
The movements are funny and cute.
The show didn't become popular, but the people became famous.
At the end of the competition, Xu Yi and Liang Wei's group successfully advanced, and Zhou Zhiyin and another contestant also advanced to the semi-finals.
When they were leaving the stage, Zhou Zhiyin said to Xu Yi, "I was really worried that you would fall asleep."
Xu Yi: "How can I fall asleep during a competition? I still have to take it seriously."
Qin Moyu had finished and was waiting for Xu Yi. When she saw Xu Yi and Zhou Zhiyin coming down, Qin Moyu stood straight and said, "Let's go quickly. I'm hungry. Let's go eat."
Qin Moyu put her hand on Xu Yi's shoulder: "What's wrong with you? How can you compete like this? You've become famous."
"Fire?"
Qin Moyu took out his cell phone and showed it to Xu Yi. Xu Yi clicked it and saw a lot of news about himself. It was like an explosion, everywhere.
It was even made into an emoticon package, and even Xu Yi himself laughed.
Xu Yi: "No, where did this emoticon come from?"
"You make all kinds of weird expressions during the game."
Xu Yi: "I'm just very sleepy. I either don't want to sleep or I want to sleep better. I can't adapt to waking up suddenly in the middle of the night."
The last group of contestants who left with Xu Yi were very dissatisfied with Xu Yi, especially those who were eliminated. They felt unfair and felt that Xu Yi did nothing the whole time and was only able to advance because of Liang Wei's design!
