After Qiao Ruoyi finished speaking, the audience applauded warmly.

If the gemstone jewelry only gave people a luxurious and gorgeous feeling, when Qiao Ruoxi added a deep meaning to this set of works, this set of works gained life.

Such a moving and beautiful love story could infect everyone. The set of jewelry called “Time”, which had its origins in this story, also became different.

Amidst the applause, Feng Yunan and Mu Yunli stared at Qiao Ruoxi quietly. Mu Yunli’s eyes were full of praise and admiration. The woman he had his eyes on was indeed different from the rest.

This woman who looked like an unpolished gem actually had a heart that was brighter than a gem.

It was especially so for Feng Yunan. He had never officially understood his own heart before and did not know what love was. At this moment, he seemed to have a little understanding of love.

This was because he seemed to feel that at this moment, looking at the woman on the stage, his heart was beating rapidly, and his heart was filled with an indescribable excitement.

He realized that he seemed to have… fallen in love with that woman.

After Qiao Ruoxi’s introduction, “Time” was widely recognized. The judges had always believed that this set of works had great style and a profound meaning. It could be called a work of art.

At the same time, the judges also gave a very high evaluation of the designer. They felt that Qiao Ruoxi was very talented in designing. She was sensitive to colors and was familiar with the characteristics of gems. They could see the depth of her work with one glance.

In the end, all the judges gave a unanimous score. Qiao Ruoxi’s overall score was also 9.9 points, which was the second high score in the competition. This meant that she had tied with Ling Xuan.

Backstage, when Ling Xuan saw Qiao Ruoxi’s work on stage through the screen, she was also shocked. How could she have thought that a woman who had never even entered university would actually design a work that was not inferior to hers?

How infuriating!

She actually got the same score as her. Two 9.9 points appeared in the competition. This meant that there was still a final competition between them.

After the evaluation segment, it was time for the physical display.

There would be a few models who would wear their works at random and walk on the runway.

It could be seen from the display segment that Ling Xuan’s emerald work had a slight age restriction. Meanwhile, Qiao Ruoxi’s work was grand and magnificent. There was no age restriction, and it was more in line with the mainstream.

The host once again invited Ling Xuan and Qiao Ruoxi onto the stage. Then, he announced in front of everyone that they were going to hold another voting contest. This time, the special guests would vote.

The camera was cast on Mu Yunli and Feng Yunan. They each had one vote and could vote for the two contestants on stage to decide the winner.

If there was still one vote per person, then there might be two tied champions.

Ling Xuan looked at Mu Yunli, the man she liked. She realized that Mu Yunli’s eyes were on Qiao Ruoxi. She was afraid that he would definitely vote for Qiao Ruoxi. She could only rely on her brother, Feng Yunan, and hope that he would vote for her.

The voting began. Mu Yunli announced in front of everyone, “I really like Miss Qiao Ruoxi’s works, so I vote for Miss Qiao Ruoxi. Thank you.”

He was biased!

Mu Yunli was so biased towards Qiao Ruoxi!

After the voting ended, Mu Yunli deliberately turned to look at Feng Yunan, his eyes full of provocation. He wanted to see what Feng Yunan would choose.

Feng Yunan quietly watched the two women on stage. One was his younger sister, and the other was his wife. Both of their works had their own merits.

However, whether it was to avoid suspicion or personal preferences, he preferred Qiao Ruoxi’s design.

Feng Yunan raised his microphone and everyone waited. After a while, he said, “My vote is for… Qiao Ruoxi.”

As soon as he finished his words, the crowd went wild.

Since the two big shots had voted for Qiao Ruoxi, the champion would naturally be Qiao Ruoxi.

The host announced the results and the audience applauded enthusiastically. The stage was also decorated with colorful ribbons. Very soon, the two big shots were invited onto the stage. One of them gave Qiao Ruoxi a certificate while the other gave her a crystal trophy.

Qiao Ruoxi, who had won the championship, felt like she was in a dream as she stood on the noisy stage. It was too unreal.

As for Ling Xuan, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She could not accept it. She could not believe that a professional college graduate like her would lose to an amateur.

What angered her the most was that her brother had actually voted for an outsider!

Everyone’s attention was on the champion. No one was paying attention to the runner-up’s expression. The host interviewed Qiao Ruoxi. “Miss Qiao Ruoxi, do you have anything to say after winning the championship?”

Tears rolled down Qiao Ruoxi’s cheeks as she picked up the microphone. She blinked hard to calm herself down before slowly saying, “Today, I want to thank the judges and the audience for recognizing me. I also want to thank those who have helped me in the past.”

Qiao Ruoxi looked at Mu Yunli and Feng Yunnan. Without Mu Yunli, she would not have the inspiration for “Time”. Without Feng Yunnan, she would not be able to create such a beautiful piece by herself.

Her success was due to the help of these two men. This was not something she could easily achieve alone.

She continued, “I never thought that I would be able to get to where I am today, and I never thought that I would win the championship. Everyone knows that I’ve never gone to university, and I don’t have the ability to design professionally. I’m just an employee of a jewelry store, and I’m only designing based on my own love. My work is still lacking, and I will work hard in the future. Thank you!”

These simple words were the most touching.

The crowd broke into another round of applause for Qiao Ruoxi.

The jewelry design competition came to a close and Qiao Ruoxi became the focus of the night.

The host announced the benefits of winning the championship on the spot. Di Ruiling Jewelry provided her with a red letter of appointment signed by the President himself. From today onwards, she could officially report to the Di Ruiling Design Center.

Simu Jewelry had provided her with an opportunity to study at an internationally renowned design institute. All expenses were included.

To Qiao Ruoxi, she was only one step away from her dream.

After tonight, different media outlets would publish this news, and she would become one of Yun City’s new top designers.

…

Backstage, as soon as Qiao Ruoyi returned, Ling Xuan grabbed her and brought her to a lounge at the side.

Ling Xuan asked coldly, “Qiao Ruoxi, tell me! Did you bribe the judges?”
