Time ticked by, and the five hours were nearing their end. These five hours were the competition time. If the designers were unable to finish their designs within this period, they would be disqualified. After all, no one was obliged to indulge anyone. The others could hardly be expected to wait indefinitely while someone struggled to complete their work. Everyone had their own matters and schedules to keep.
Moreover, as a designer participating in the competition, if one could not complete their work within the allotted time, what right did they have to remain?
As the deadline approached, Ye Xiyuan also ceased working. She looked over the design draft and computer renderings, a smug smile tugging at her lips.
She could well imagine the stir her piece would cause when revealed. It would surely surpass her expectations.
Truly, she owed Ye Lengan some thanks. Without her sudden theme change, she would never have conceived this remarkable gown.
Merely picturing herself crowned a genius designer after today filled her with pride.
Even Neo Fashion would soon plead to collaborate with her.
When time expired, all designers set down their tools. Out of habit, they
scanned their opponents’ progress.
The participants soon filed out one by one.
The first contestant began introducing and displaying his work.
As each designer presented, the audience intermittently nodded. The judges ultimately decided the victor. Every introduction held the room’s attention contestants and company representatives alike listened intently, loath to miss any score announcements.
Finally, Ye Xiyuan’s turn arrived.
Seeing her, Ye Li could barely contain his excitement. If not for the other attendees, he would have stood for a better view.
Though shaken by Ye Lengan earlier, relief now washed over him as confidence exuded from Ye Xiyuan. He firmly believed in her talent and skill to claim the prize.
Ye Xiyuan rose and transferred her slides to the large display, launching into an explanation of her creative approach.
When her drawings and dress renderings appeared, sounds of wonder rippled through the room.
It was a sleek black gown with a subtle sheen, its soft, fluid fabric nipped at the waist. Crystals dotted the full skirt’s hem, evoking a river of stars against the satiny fabric. Wearing it, a woman would surely reign as the most dazzling queen of the night.
None present were immune to the draft’s charm. The women in particular pictured themselves gliding in such a dress.
Grinning widely below, Ye Li could already envision others lining up to congratulate Ye Xiyuan on her impending victory.
Ye Leng’an’s earlier words must have sprung from sheer envy. Xiyuan’s gift came from the heavens themselves. That she produced such an exquisite design in mere hours approached miraculous. With her talents, the Ye Group would never lack prosperity.
On stage, Ye Xiyuan was elucidating her creative concept: “l drew inspiration for this gown from the Milky Way. Its skirt…”
Fortunately, stunned by the dress in her first life, she had read the magazine interview with its designer and recalled some of his remarks on its genesis.
His name escaped her now, but the general ideas remained to help conceal her plagiarism..
