The principal was also quite interested in the matter. He took the initiative to stand up and said, “Excellent. For students to participate in such a competition, those who dare to take part are already quite courageous.
“I appreciate students who show bravery and confidence.
“If any of these three works stand out, I will certainly support it.”
Professor Yang Ning’s smile grew even warmer upon hearing the principal’s words.
She arranged the three pieces of artwork on the desk, and the principal examined them carefully through his glasses.
He didn’t immediately announce his favorite piece of work but instead offered comments on each one.
“I can tell that the student who designed this piece has extensively studied foreign fashion journals. They have boldly incorporated foreign fashion elements into their design.
“As a result, this piece is quite remarkable and surpasses the design standards of most students at Capital University.”
The principal was praising Lin Lin and Li Ru’s works. Upon hearing this praise, Li Ru couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride.
Lin Lin expressed her gratitude to the principal, saying, “Thank you for your kind words. Principal. We are thrilled to be recognized by vou.”
The principal also directed his attention towards Lin Lin. “So it was you two who created this. It’s quite impressive. You display creativity and courage. Keep up the good work.”
“Thank you, Principal,” the two of them replied in unison.
The principal then moved on to comment on Zhou Chang’s work. “This piece is very well-executed. The overall design aligns with aesthetic principles, but it could benefit from more distinctive elements.
“If I were to summarize it briefly, it would be best described in a single sentence.
“We can compare this work to the one next to it.”
He was referring to the work by Zhou En and Xia Wan’s team.
“You might have noticed that the most distinctive feature of this painting is its incorporation of ancient elements.
“Furthermore, whether it’s the artwork or the design of the clothing, the aesthetic portrayal of the human form has been carefully considered.
“In other words, after the initial drawing was completed, this school uniform was elevated, adding depth and meaning to it.
“I believe this is why you favor it, Professor Yang Ning.”
Professor Yang Ning nodded in agreement. “Yes, I also believe that the design of this school uniform is exceptional.”
Zhou Chang had been listening to the principal’s comments attentively. After seeing the school uniforms designed by Xia Wan and her team, he had already recognized his own shortcomings.
He voluntarily admitted, “Although I didn’t secure first place in today’s competition, I’ve learned a great deal.
“Before participating in this competition, I felt quite accomplished in design due to my internships with various companies during breaks.
“This led to a certain level of arrogance on my part, thinking I had surpassed many students. However, after seeing the designs by senior Zhou En and her team today, I realized how limited my perspective was.
“The only reason I considered myself highly skilled was due to my lack of exposure to more experienced individuals.”
With a smile, he looked at Zhou En and Xia Wan. “I’m delighted to have competed with you both today. You’ve contributed significantly to my growth.”
Zhou En and Xia Wan reciprocated the smiles.
Just then, there was another knock at the office door.
Upon seeing that it was Li Sheng, the principal smiled and asked, “What brings you here today?”
Li Sheng appeared to be in his forties, slightly plump with a protruding belly.
His eyes gleamed when he smiled.
“I heard from my niece that she was participating in a fashion design competition at school. I happened to be in the vicinity for business discussions, so I decided to drop by and see.”
The principal’s gaze wandered, and he casually inquired, “Then who is your niece?”
Li Sheng stood beside Li Ru and said, “This is my niece.”
“I’m curious about how my niece’s designs have fared. Have any of them caught your attention?” he asked in a nonchalant tone.
The smile in Professor Yang Ning’s eyes faded, and she regarded Li Ru with a hint of displeasure.
Although she typically prioritized her appreciation for art, it didn’t mean she was unaware of the intricacies of the world..
