After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 435 Damn Scary!

Chapter 435: Chapter 435 Damn Scary!

"In a pond where sardines live, introducing a catfish that feeds on other fish causes the originally calm sardine group to scatter in order to survive. As a result, the oxygen deficit in the pond is resolved, and more sardines manage to survive. Subsequently, sardines with exceptional vitality are bred."

Ye Li explained softly.

Qiao Li An reacted belatedly.

This... isn’t this the catfish effect?

Before Qiao Li An could lament turning into a fool just by changing a name, silence fell over the entire venue.

Beep!

The countdown ended.

The first round of PK was over.

"Who will go first?"

The host stepped onto the stage to inquire.

Xie Chenlu and the little fairy with number 026 exchanged glances, and Xie Chenlu unveiled his sketch board first.

Black and white tones.

A bracelet in the shape of vines.

"A beauty like a flower beyond the clouds, above there is the azure sky, below the rippling water..."

As Xie Chenlu lightly tapped with his fingertips, the leaves entwined on the vines were alternately filled with black and transparent colors, "The main body of the bracelet is made of pure silver, and the vine part is made of obsidian and glass. It can be viewed as entwining vines or an unwavering black swan; in any case, whether vines or swan, they represent a yearning for love."

"And what about the YL? Does it have any special meaning?"

A designer from the other side asked.

Xie Chenlu smiled and shook his head, "This is the logo of our Ye Li’s Studio."

Good-natured laughter filled the air.

The questioning designer seemed surprised by the answer and, after a moment of distraction, was amused.

Amidst the enthusiastic laughter from the audience, Ye Li couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Xie Chenlu, who glanced over.

After all, an idol is still an idol.

Even at such a tense and exciting moment, he didn’t forget to advertise his own studio.

As everyone’s attention focused, the little fairy with number 026 revealed her design.

"For whom shall I speak of my lovesickness? Shallow love is unknown to others..."

Amid the clear female voice, a luxurious and intricate brooch came into view.

The center was a pair of entwined swans, with a simple pattern.

The water beneath the swans was an irregular line, winding from the back of the swan on the left all the way to the right.

The edge of the water was uneven.

At first glance, it resembled ripples spreading on a lake, or perhaps a vine.

All in all, at first sight, it was an exceptionally outstanding design.

However, with limited time, the details were not perfected.

But at that moment, no one would nitpick about the details.

One must know that in their studios, from the spark of inspiration to completing a draft and refining the details, it often took designers several weeks to even months.

minutes, what more can you want?

Even before the judges could give their opinions, applause was already gradually breaking out from the audience.

It seemed as though the 026 designer’s work had already won over everyone.

Xie Chenlu gazed admiringly at that brooch.

Turning to the judges, his expression remained calm, "I concede!"

The audience roared in surprise.

The brooch by number 026 was indeed impressive, but there was no denying that Xie Chenlu’s design was equally stunning.

What’s more, his "Lovesickness" used pure silver material.

Aimed at the middle and lower market, if mass-produced in the future, who knows, it might just become the next Pinduoduo bestseller.

It was full of design sense while also possessing commercial appeal.

One couldn’t help but shout internally: Absolutely amazing!

"What do the esteemed judges think?"

The host turned to look at the judges.

The judges glanced at each other, revealing their scores for the two "Lovesickness" pieces.

Below the stage, the organizers quickly input and calculated the results.

Within the blink of an eye, the big screen displayed the scores given by the 10 judges for the two "Lovesickness" pieces and the statistical results.

Upon seeing the final score in the last column, after a brief moment of silence, the applause was thunderous.

Each judge had their own preferences, of course, resulting in different scores.

But in the final score column, both Xie Chenlu and the little fairy with number 026 had scores of 9.88.

"So, just like after Bole, another miracle has been created on stage!!!"

The host’s voice was full of excitement.

Looking towards the judges’ panel, his eyes were glowing, "So, can we understand this as the two designers advancing to the finals with their talent?"

The judges nodded.

Applause erupted like thunder.

On the grandstand, the little fairy with number 026 covered her mouth in disbelief, stomped her feet, and then rushed to Xie Chenlu.

It was evident that she wanted to hug Xie Chenlu, but as she got closer, she became shy and merely bowed, saying "Thank you," before excitedly leaving the stage.

The second round soon began.

Even though he was just here to observe this time, from the moment Xie Chenlu said he conceded, Qiao Li An’s heart had been racing frantically.

Looking up again, he saw that on the right side, a designer expressed the desire to challenge Wan Mingyi.

The judges gave the topic "Black and White," and whether in front of their sketch boards or those gathered around watching, the designers on both sides of the grandstand were all lost in deep thought.

Once again, Qiao Li An experienced the catfish effect that Ye Li mentioned.

And this was just an additional match.

Not even the finals.

What kind of spectacular competition would it be in tomorrow’s finals?

Qiao Li An couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Resigning was the right decision!

This trip was worthwhile!

Absolutely worth it!!!

Turning back, he saw Dai Qingzhou’s face darken, with veins bulging on the back of his hand gripping the phone.

Qiao Li An couldn’t suppress the pleasure in his eyes and brows.

Indeed, doing too many wicked things brings about retribution!

Look, retribution has come!

Wan Mingyi’s victory was without suspense.

Similarly, Ling Xiaohan and Yan Ziqing, who learned well from Xie Chenlu, both as a dedicated disciple and a senior fellow, also won smoothly.

By Morning, not just Ye Li and Qiao Li An were nervous.

The whole audience was excited.

To date, only 026 managed to advance to the finals with the same score as Xie Chenlu, while the others had all been defeated.

If Morning lost, then contestant number 328 on stage could almost be considered the first successful comeback!

Both on and off the stage, everyone held their breath in silence.

When the score appeared on the big screen, Morning’s heart even seemed to stop.

Seeing that score of 9.65 compared to the opponent’s 9.64, she immediately slumped back into her seat.

So freaking scary!!!

She had won over those 9 contestants in the semi-finals by a mere 0.02 advantage.

Who expected the additional match to be scarier, a 0.01 point difference.

If her heart was a little weaker, she might have ended up explaining herself on this stage, right?

Wailing....

A new round of choices began as Dai Qingzhou uneasily got up and headed outside.

Only Lyida and another senior designer were left in Dane Studio.

Whether it’s the gold, silver, bronze awards, or the excellent work award, the two of them must storm into the finals.

No mistakes could be tolerated.

Dane could no longer withstand any storm!

Exiting the venue and glancing around, Dai Qingzhou walked to a secluded corner by the window and made a call.
