After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!

Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Vision, This is Vision!

"Then I’m starting!"

The pretty girl with a beaming smile spoke, her smile gradually fading.

In an instant, she transformed from a lively, straightforward girl into a powerful studio owner.

"Competitor 211, bold in color scheme, innovative in design. The blend of elegant jade with a hexagram design makes the jade necklace exude luxury while adding a touch of youthful vitality. Given time, the future is promising!"

"Competitor 328, the ruby bracelet is conventional, but the chain has clever ideas. If the designer wasn’t so nervous on stage and performed at her usual level, allowing the model to wear it on one hand, the overlapping effect would be better. The elimination was somewhat premature and regrettable!"

"Competitor 026, the beauty is pure and elegant, but suffered due to competitor 021 being too outstanding. I believe he deserves a chance to showcase independently..."

"Competitor 126..."

"..."

"Competitor 472..."

"..."

She rattled off more than a dozen names in one breath, and the already silent venue became even more quiet.

It was so silent you could hear Ye Li’s breathing in the pauses between her words.

Upon concluding, Ye Li looked earnestly at the jury of 10 judges, "The designers that left a profound impression on me are the above 11. If possible, I hope the judges consider them!"

The designers below were dumbstruck.

The jury on stage was also stunned.

Everyone glanced at each other, their expressions filled with surprise and delight.

"Ye Li, did you have private dealings with these 11 designers?"

"No."

"Then the way you recounted them, it’s like you know them personally."

"I took notes... From the preliminaries to the semi-finals, I took notes on every exhibited work. Those designs that were stunning yet regrettably didn’t make it are my key focus. If not today, perhaps tomorrow, I believe they will shine brightly sooner or later. So today, they are competitors, but tomorrow, they might become friendly exchanging colleagues, right?"

Some were awestruck.

Some were skeptical.

Until Ye Li displayed her phone filled with dense commentary, everyone was united in one thought.

A capital "Impressive!"

"Ye Li, aren’t you afraid if the judges really give them a chance, these 11 might return and eliminate some of your Ye Li’s Studio designers?"

"There’s nothing to fear. Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind over the east. Isn’t our Hua Country’s jewelry design just going global through the back-and-forth among designers?"

"Well said!"

The judges nodded continuously.

The designers below seemed finally to come to their senses.

The applause rose like a tide.

"Broad-minded, friends, this is broad-mindedness! No wonder Ye Li’s entire team advanced! The skill is genuine, and the openness is genuine too!"

"And most importantly, she’s so young. Ah, without comparison, there’s no harm!"

"No wonder she’s winning gold and being a boss; she deserves her success!"

"..."

All the works of the 11 designers were displayed on the big screen, some seen during the preliminaries.

The other works were those eliminated before having a chance to be shown.

Different jewelry.

Different creativity.

Yet equally captivating.

The designers below were busy admiring and appraising.

On stage, the judges quickly exchanged opinions.

As the president of Mo Du Jewelry Association communicated with the organizing personnel, the microphone sounded again, and the venue fell silent once more.

"After discussion between the organizers and the jury, we decided to adopt the recommendation of the mentor and grant these 11 designers an additional round of qualification."

Some stood up excitedly, proclaiming this competition exceedingly wonderful.

Some clapped so much their hands went red, feeling jubilant over this unexpected chance.

After a brief break, the next round of the competition began.

Almost as the judges announced the rules, saying the 11 additional competitors could challenge one-on-one with the 10 finalists, Dai Qingzhou stood up abruptly.

What’s going on?

The 10 who made it to the finals fought their way through the preliminaries and semi-finals.

Was it easy to get this far?

Ye Li just spoke, and the judges agreed on additional rounds, which was already extreme.

Then going directly to one-on-one PK with the finalists?

That’s... too unfair, isn’t it?

Dai Qingzhou’s breathing became somewhat unstable.

Then the host looked at Xie Chenlu and others, "Do you have any objections to the sudden additional competition?"

Xie Chenlu shook his head, "No. Welcome the challenge!"

Wan Mingyi also shook his head with a confident, gracious smile.

The others were all smiles, indicating no objections.

After all, those who made it to the finals were all exceptionally talented and capable.

Only those who aren’t full inside, who wobble around with half-full courage, would show fear.

"Go for it! Beat them, and you’re a finalist!"

"Yes, just a national-style jewelry competition. With such a rare opportunity falling on you, roll up your sleeves and go for it!"

"Go, go!"

...

Clearly a competition centered around inspiration and creativity.

Yet, at this moment, the atmosphere was as lively as a sports game!

Amidst the cheers, the first challenger stepped onto the stage.

"I’ll challenge competitor 021!"

Competitor 026, the little fairy, smiled shyly at Xie Chenlu, "Designer Xie, though this is our first meeting, you’re my design inspiration teacher! Please guide me!"

Xie Chenlu nodded his approval.

Since it’s an additional round, and to show that Ye Li’s move wasn’t arranged by the organizers, all 11 competitor works had already been showcased.

Now, the judges would give a topic for them to design on the spot.

Though it’s an impromptu additional round, its difficulty was several times greater than the preliminaries and semi-finals.

The judges whispered among themselves and quickly provided a topic.

Lovesickness.

On stage, the two camps were clearly defined.

To the left were the 10 finalists.

Xie Chenlu stood central, surrounded, holding a drawing board.

The other side was the 11 challengers.

Competitor 026, the little fairy, was also pondering over the drawing board.

Almost as soon as the judges announced the topic, Xie Chenlu picked up the pen and began drawing swiftly.

While competitor 026 was still staring at the board.

Once the pen was picked up again, the previous shyness vanished, and the person stabilized, as if transformed.

The big screen started the 10-minute countdown, the second hand moved silently, and the venue quieted down with each tick.

Until only the last few seconds remained, it was so quiet, even breathing was inaudible.

"Ye Li..."

Too nervous to even call Mr. Ye, Qiao Li An leaned closer to Ye Li, whispering, "Will there be a change in our top five?"

A change?

"Of course!"

Ye Li’s single remark made Qiao Li An’s eyes widen, nearly fainting from holding his breath.

Ye Li nodded, gesturing for Qiao Li An to look at the stage, "Do you know... the Sardine Effect?"

???

Qiao Li An was dumbfounded.
