Chapter 1216 It’s Not Easy to Be a White Moonlight
There were hundreds of applicants for this competition. Two-thirds of them were eliminated in the first preliminary round. Another two-thirds were eliminated in the semi-finals, and finally only ten designers were qualified to participate in the finals.
Competition is fierce, the most in the industry.
At the same time, the judges invited to the competition are also very authoritative.
In addition to several recognized industry leaders, we also specially invited the world's most famous jewelry collector and a socialite who spent the most in the jewelry industry last year.
It can be said that both professionalism and marketability are taken into consideration, which is convincing.
The organizers also know how to create hype. For one competition, they printed a lot of invitation letters and sent them to successful people from all walks of life, inviting them to watch and show their support.
It not only improves the style of the competition, but also provides contestants with an opportunity to showcase themselves. After all, these VIP guests invited to watch the competition are potential customers of the designers.
Shi Li was scheduled to go on stage later, and while resting backstage, she met Cheng Niannian, whose arm had already been freed from the plaster.
Both of them were contestants today and were competitors. Shi Li just nodded from a distance and had no intention of contacting her.
However, Cheng Niannian didn't plan this way. After seeing her, she walked straight over.
"Ms. Shi, long time no see." She was wearing a white long dress today, with her slightly curly hair hanging behind her, making her look very intellectual and gentle.
What was rare was that the melancholy and resentment in his brows were gone, and instead there was a hint of ease and open-mindedness, which brightened Shi Li's eyes.
"Well, it's been a long time since we last met. You look much better than before." Shi Li raised her eyebrows and spoke very directly.
Cheng Niannian was not surprised, but laughed, "Yes, I have completely let it go. The only one who can save me in this world is myself. I remember that I said I wanted to challenge Miss Shi. I wonder if I have the chance now?"
"Your opponent today is not just me, but the other nine people participating in the competition."
She had changed so much that Shi Li didn't mind chatting a little more. He winked at her and said, "Or are you only targeting me?"
"Of course not, I want to win the championship!"
Cheng Niannian tilted her head, restrained her smile and looked at Shi Li seriously, "But... I still want to say, thank you so much. I was blinded by one thing before, like I was crazy, thank you for not making a fuss with me. Otherwise, I would not have the chance to be here today."
"Then I wish you to go further in the future. We can continue to meet at the top. Maybe one day in the future, it may really be you and I competing against each other."
Cheng Niannian smiled and nodded. She heard someone in front of her calling her to get ready to go on stage, so she said goodbye in a hurry and left.
Shi Li had just sat down for a while when the assistant came in from outside, rushed to her side and said in a low voice: "Boss, guess who I saw outside?"
"Who is it?" Shi Li asked cooperatively. She guessed that the assistant was so excited because he might have seen a star or an unusual big shot.
As a result, the assistant's next sentence made her nervous.
"I saw Mr. Mu. He was also invited to watch the game and is now sitting in the VIP seat!"
Shi Li: !!!
She had clearly met Mu He last night, but he didn't even mention it! What a "surprise" that this happened today!
My originally calm and peaceful mood suddenly began to ripple, and became more and more restless.
She had a very good mentality. She had come up with the most satisfactory design, made the most adequate preparations, and was very confident in herself. At the same time, she also told herself that there are always people better than you, and winning and losing are common.
But now, in front of Mu He, she felt that she might not be able to accept the possibility of losing.
This is definitely not a surprise, it's a shock!
Shi Li really wanted to cover her face and wail, but she couldn't. She was surrounded by designers participating in the competition, and she had to pay attention to her image.
"I really am..." Shi Li took a deep breath and held the assistant's wrist.
"Ah!" the assistant exclaimed, "Boss, why are your hands so cold? Mr. Mu is here to cheer you up. Are you nervous?"
"What do you think?" Shi Li rolled her eyes silently.
When the boat reaches the front, it has to pass regardless of whether the boat is straight or not.
When Shi Li heard the staff calling her name, she silently let go of the assistant's hand, forced a decent smile, straightened her back and walked to the front of the stage.
Standing on the high competition stage, although the seats were clearly full, she could find Mu He in the crowd at a glance.
He looked at me with a smile and gave me applause generously, his face full of pride and encouragement, his eyes almost overflowing with deep love.
It seems... not so nervous anymore.
Shi Li blinked and began to talk about her design draft on the big screen.
