Chapter 184: I’m Giving the Others Zero Points
“Look at these two-faced people, how can they switch sides so shamelessly?”
These judges were supposed to have been bribed by Wu Lingshan’s father so that they would speak in her favour in the competition.
How could they all go back on their words merely because Young Master Mu declared his stand with just a few words?
“Oh, right, Bai Xinxin! Didn’t she say that Young Master Mu came for her? So, what’s going on right now? Why isn’t he speaking up for her in the least bit? Was she just all talk? Did she just screw me over?”
At this moment, the host returned to the stage.!!
“Alright, now that all the judges have expressed their opinions, let’s have them give the participants their final score.”
The judges lowered their heads and tapped around on their tablet PCs.
Once they finished, the participants’ given scores were all displayed together on the big screen at once.
The designers anxiously turned their heads toward the screen to look at their scores.
“Alright, let’s take a look at the final score.”
The host briefly skimmed the scores on the screen, then his voice started to tremble from surprise.
“As expected, Miss Xing Chen has without a doubt came out first place in this scoring segment! Her given score… is a whopping 100 points, full points! This is the first time in the history of the Huafeng Competition that a participant has unanimously received full points from the entire judicial panel!”
“Whoa…!”
A wave of exclamation rose from the viewing stand.
Such a tremendous score that broke the convention of the Huafeng Competition was beyond everyone’s expectations. However, given the current situation, it was not a really surprising occurrence.
This was because Luo Chenxi’s design, be it the final product or the performance of the models, had all been beautifully executed to perfection.
In addition, Young Master Mu even spoke up for her in person.
Hence, it was completely normal for her to be given full points.
“The second place goes to Miss Wu Lingshan! Her score is also shockingly high! A good few judges have also given her full points, while her final score totalled up to 82 points!”
Even though the judges bribed by Wu Lingshan’s father ended up being pressured to side with Luo Chenxi, they did not completely forget about Wu Lingshan.
Hence, they still gave Wu Lingshan 10 points.
Unfortunately for her, Young Master Mu was not as generous as the other judges.
The man did not give a d*mn about fairness, so he only gave his dear wife a whopping 10 points while the rest of the participants were mercilessly given 0 points.
Factoring in a few other judges who gave Wu Lingshan 8 to 9 points, her final score totalled up to 82 points.
Wu Lingshan stared at her score and became gloomy deep down.
82 points was actually a very high score. If only there was no one there to top her score and form a contrast, she would have definitely been satisfied with this outcome.
However, when she looked at the irksome score of 100 points above her name on the screen, she could not bring herself to stomach her defeat no matter how hard she tried!
‘The d*mned Xing Chen, why is she so lucky! I banned modelling agencies from modelling for her, but she surprisingly ended up contracting Shao Mingyi, so I tried hard to get him eliminated from the scene. In the end, Luo Chenxi still managed to find herself a handsome guy who’s even more handsome than Shao Mingyi to model for her!
‘What’s more, she even has Young Master Mu to vouch for her work!
‘How did she gain such massive influential power? It took her only a single Weibo post to capture Young Master Mu’s attention! What kind of dumb luck is this?’
The fact that Mu Yichen could be having an affair with Luo Chenxi never crossed Wu Lingshan’s mind.
After all, with Young Master Mu’s wealth and good looks, all he needed to do was to lift a finger, and he would have countless women throwing themselves into his arms.
Surprisingly, even after so many years, there had never been any scandals involving the man, which meant that he must have really high standards.
Therefore, if he only wanted to spend a night with a woman, he would have obviously gone for a supermodel like Bai Xinxin. Why would he even bat an eye at a small-time designer who just graduated from school?
As Wu Lingshan pondered, the host announced the scores of the remaining participants.
Thanks to Young Master Mu giving all of them 0 points, all the other designers had depressingly low scores.
Looking at their dejected expressions, the host hurriedly said, “Dear designers, there’s no need for you to feel dejected even if you didn’t manage to get high scores. That’s because we’ll be welcoming an important segment next—the netizens’ voting segment!”
Hearing this, Wu Lingshan instantly recovered from her gloomy mood.
‘That’s right! There’s still the netizens’ voting segment!’
This segment allowed each netizen to hold two votes, one for supporting their favorite designer and the other to vote against a designer. The final score would be decided after tabulating both categories of the votes.
Since Shao Mingyi had not appeared on stage, the chat boxes on online streaming platforms were still filled with curses directed at Xing Chen.
One could even say that Xing Chen had managed to make enemies off millions of Shao Mingyi’s fans.
So, god knows how many would vote against her later!
