We Can Only Win; We Can't Lose

"That's right! The other designers can't be compared to her. I think she'll be the champion this time."1

"What do you think, Mr. Ye?"

Everyone held their breaths and suddenly became nervous.

Mr. Ye was the president of ZR. No one knew his full name, nor had anyone seen his face before. However, in the design industry, this name was well-known.

Mr. Ye had superb design skills and controlled half of the world of design. It would be every designer's lifelong dream if they could get his approval.

Yao Mengqing was extremely nervous.

Mr. Ye looked up slowly and took a glance at the set of jewelry. He replied nonchalantly, "Mhm."

What did 'mhm' mean?

Did he agree with the other judges?

Jason was overjoyed, while Yao Mengqing was even more excited.

The designers backstage were also very envious. "Mr. Ye didn't even take a look at the earlier designs. But after Yao Mengqing went on stage, he opened his eyes and took a look. Yao Mengqing is really capable!"

"All the judges gave high scores. Mr. Ye seems to like her work too. The championship is hers to take!"

"That's right. None of the previous designers surpassed Yao Mengqing's score, and only Qiao Xi remains now. How could she possibly compare to Yao Mengqing? There's no doubt about who the champion will be!"

Qiao Xi looked at Yao Mengqing's work as well.

Actually, it was not too bad. Although jewelry needed to be gorgeous, if too many materials were piled up, it would appear very messy and affect the aesthetics. Moreover, she felt that this design was very familiar, especially the shape of the gem cutting. It was as though she had seen it somewhere before.

Qiao Xi thought for a moment and suddenly recalled that she seemed to have done a similar draft many years ago, but she didn't know where she had thrown it later.

Yao Mengqing's design was praised by everyone. After she got off the stage, she smiled gently. "Mr. Jason, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have achieved such good results. Thank you so much."

Jason nodded proudly. "It's nothing. Since I agreed to participate in the competition, I surely won't embarrass Master Yun Chu. We can only win; we can't lose!"

Yao Mengqing looked at Qiao Xi who was about to go on stage. "Mr. Jason, Xi Xi is going on stage soon. If her work is not good, please guide her. After all, she's still a newcomer and needs to improve. Don't hurt her too much and make her lose her confidence."

Jason sneered. "You want me to guide her? Is she worthy? Is a lowly designer worthy of my guidance? I don't have the time for that."

Yao Mengqing nodded helplessly. "Alright, then. I'll go and comfort Xi Xi after the competition. I won't trouble you, Mr. Jason."

Just then, the designers surrounded her. "Miss Yao, the work you did with Mr. Jason is perfect! You'll definitely be the champion!"

Yao Mengqing smiled in embarrassment. "The competition hasn't ended yet. It's too early to say that I won the championship. Xi Xi hasn't shown her work yet!"

"Even those famous designers can't compare to you. How can a newbie like Qiao Xi be your opponent? Miss Yao, your win has been determined. There's no need to be humble."

Yao Mengqing was ecstatic.

She had deliberately arranged for Qiao Xi to go after her. With the two of them displaying their works one after another, the judges would definitely give Qiao Xi low scores after making a comparison.

As expected, the judges had all praised her work. In their eyes, she was the champion.

Qiao Xi's work would have no meaning. Just a few points would do. The judges might even cruelly criticize Qiao Xi's poor work.

Yao Mengqing lowered her head and smiled sinisterly.

People continued to praise her. "Miss Yao's ability is obvious to all. How can some newbie surpass you? If I were her, I would just forfeit!"

"Look, Qiao Xi has gone up the stage!"

All the lights in the surroundings converged together and fell onto Qiao Xi, causing everyone to gasp.

What? There was no model?

Qiao Xi's expression was calm as she carried the box to the front of the stage and slowly opened the box, revealing the jewelry within.

Yao Mengqing didn't bother looking at the screen. She could clearly feel that the venue had instantly quietened down and only melodious notes were flowing.
