As long as she could win the championship this time, her position in the Ye family would stabilize. Not only that, when the time came, all the news media would surely report on her as the new young and beautiful designer rising to prominence. By then, she would truly gain fame.
Moreover, she still remembered numerous fashion designs growing popular over the coming years. When the time arrived, she would definitely establish herself as a world-renowned design master.
Even losing the system, she could still succeed relying solely on her own efforts.
The competition soon commenced, the judges entering one by one and seating themselves at the judging table. Seeing the figures there, everyone grew excited below. The host, presiding over affairs, began introducing those judges.
The panel this time consisted of internationally famous fashion design masters Airelly, Sun Liyi as well as Fashion Godmother Linda, and naturally also several Neo Fashion Company higher-ups. This surprised no one, given the contest was hosted by Neo Fashion; having their own executives serve as judges was only expected.
Only Ye Li and Ye Xiyuan sitting below, looking at the familiar figure on the judges’ platform had unpleasant expressions. This was because, among the high-ranking executives of Neo Fashion serving as judges for the event, one of them turned out to be Ye Lengan!
Never could they have dreamed of encountering Ye Lengan in this sort of circumstance. Even more baffling was why Ye Lengan would be present as a Neo Fashion executive and judge.
Now with Ye Lengan judging, things looked ill for them. What if she intentionally scored Ye Xiyuan low later on?
At this thought Ye Li directly rose to his feet, proclaiming loudly before all,
“One moment, 1 have a question.”
Ye Xiyuan wanted to restrain Ye Li but by then it was too late. Every gaze centered onto them, appraising.
The host, in the midst of introductions, knitted his brows seeing this and glanced towards Ye Li e s seat, confirming which company he belonged to before inquiring, “Mr. Ye, may 1 ask if you have some doubt?”
Though he spoke thus, impatience filled his eyes towards Ye Li. In all his years hosting these design contests never had he witnessed such behavior at the venue. After all, the companies and individuals qualified to compete had long grasped all the rules.
“I’ve no major doubts,” Ye Li responded frankly. “Just some confusion about a particular judge. Isn’t she still underage? Can she genuinely qualify to judge at this level of competition? Wouldn’t that seem unfair to the other judges, or us contestants?”
He had staked tremendous hopes on this event, absolutely unwilling to let anything go amiss. But Ye Leng’an’s presence on the judging panel constituted the greatest error.
“Father, please sit first!” Ye Xiyuan tugged Ye Li’s sleeve, whispering, “Now’s really not the time to say such things.”
Though also incredibly vexed by Ye Lengan judging, she understood they lacked all grounds to raise objections. After all, Ye Lengan appeared as a Neo Fashion executive; they wielded no right to question this. With Neo Fashion itself hosting the contest…
Now subjected to everyone’s stares as if they were fools, she truly wished to directly yank her father down to cease further embarrassment.
Ye Li ignored Ye Xiyuan, gaze fixed squarely on Ye Lengan at the judges’ table.
It wasn’t that he failed to recognize his actions as inappropriate presently. But he had to ride on this competition, unwilling to let Ye Leng’an’s presence ruin everything.
Seated judging, Ye Lengan glanced at Ye Li before replying, “The member you just referenced should be me! Amongst all the judges only I’m still underage.”
Ye Li offered no rebuttal, questioning outright, “l mean no offense, just want to ask – do you actually understand fashion design? Do you genuinely feel qualified to sit there judging?”
