“It’s just a brand. What’s there to be arrogant about? They even had the audacity to call and inform you… It’s like they were trying to rub salt in the wound!” Song Ling was also infuriated. “An international big shot making things difficult for customers. Where’s the justice in that?”
“Mom, what should I do? 1 can’t wear FY products anymore…”
“Isn’t it just a brand? There are plenty of luxury brands out there. Mommy will buy you something else in the future, maybe even a limited edition!” Song Ling consoled her. “Don’t cry, my sweet daughter. It’s not worth shedding tears over such a trivial matter.”
“Mom, you don’t understand…”
Even though FY was a recently acclaimed international brand, its unique and innovative designs had garnered favor from celebrities and socialites. Wearing FY made her stand out at any event. But now, it was all ruined by Fang Yuan!
Soon, the day of the fashion competition arrived.
In the morning, as Fang Yuan prepared to leave, Auntie Du informed her, “Miss Fang Yuan, the Eldest Young Master has been waiting for you for a few nights.” “Eldest Brother?” Fang Yuan was a little surprised. “Lie’s back home?”
“Yes, Eldest Young Master hurried back as soon as he finished his work overseas to see you. However, you’ve been leaving early and returning late these past few days, so you haven’t crossed paths.”
Auntie Du then asked softly, “Can you come home for dinner tonight? Eldest Young Master really wants to see his sister.”
Fang Yuan agreed, “I’ll come back for dinner tonight.”
“Alright!” Auntie Du smiled. “Eldest Young Master will be very happy to see you!”
In the midst of her busy schedule, Fang Yuan had inadvertently given Cheng Yuqi the opportunity to impress Cheng Mohan daily…
At the competition venue, the host announced with a smile, “Now, let’s welcome the first group of contestants to the stage with the most enthusiastic applause!”
In the judges’ seating area, Cheng Mohan’s gaze focused on the large screen.
The first group comprised 20 designers and 20 assistants. He glanced at the designers’ faces, finding none resembling his sister.
“What number is Fang Yuan?” He whispered to the person beside him.
The fellow judge looked puzzled. “Fang Yuan? 1 don’t recall such a contestant. President Cheng, do you know her? Let me check…” He sifted through the contestant’s information but found no mention of Fang Yuan.
“Allow me to take a look.” Cheng Mohan took the documents and perused the list of designers, confirming the absence of her name. Could she be an assistant? He revisited the assistant’s section, discovering number 16. Raising his eyes, he saw a captivating face on the stage. She bore a striking resemblance to his mother, though her demeanor differed. Amidst the crowd, she was exceptionally conspicuous. Could this be his sister, Cheng Fangyuan? She appeared beautiful and carried an air of obedience. However, Cheng Mohan couldn’t fathom why she was participating as an assistant in the competition.
As the competition officially commenced, the stage filled with an array of fabrics and decorations. The contestants had forty minutes to freely design a piece of clothing, followed by feedback from the judges.
Gu Panpan aimed to craft a wedding dress, and with Fang Yuan’s guidance, they settled on an embroidered design.
Fang Yuan excelled in embroidery, swiftly crafting a vibrant red rose in less than ten minutes.
Her performance captured the judges’ attention.
A female judge exclaimed, “Contestant No. 16’s assistant is truly remarkable. Her skill surpasses all the contestants. Look at her embroidery—it’s flawlessly executed!”
Cheng Mohan, who had been monitoring his sister’s progress, also took note of her technique.
The wedding dress was promptly prepared. Per competition rules, participants were required to wear and display their creations.
Fang Yuan, unable to withstand Gu Panpan’s insistence, reluctantly agreed to let her model the dress.
As Fang Yuan emerged in her changed attire, Gu Panpan’s eyes widened. “Fang Yuan, you’re truly stunning…”
On the stage, it was Designer No. 15’s turn to present his creation.
One judge critiqued, “While your blue and white fitted dress is visually striking, there are issues with the cut. It tends to accentuate the bust excessively, lacks emphasis on the waist, and the black color doesn’t complement well. Your design prioritized visual impact without considering the wearer’s suitability. I can only award your work three points.”
With a maximum score of 10 points, the other judges also gave low marks, and the audience’s score was even lower, only 2 points…
Nervously, Gu Panpan said to Fang Yuan, “What should we do, Fang Yuan? The judges are strict, and the audience has high standards…”
Fang Yuan held her hand, offering a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry; 1 have confidence in your design.”
Gu Panpan gazed at Fang Yuan, finding solace and breaking free from her nervousness. “Fang Yuan, you’re truly beautiful. Your smile feels like a transcendence of the soul!”
Fang Yuan:
“Next up is the work of Designer 16!”
Following the host’s announcement, Fang Yuan graced the stage in an elegant manner. She wore a white wedding dress with a delicate train, adorned with a silver-white crown on her head. Her grace captivated everyone, exuding an otherworldly and noble aura, akin to a fairy from a tale.
“It’s breathtaking!”
“Three minutes. 1 want all her information. I want to sign her and make her a star!”
