Chapter 37 -37 The Work Fell

Lin Zhiyi glanced at the audience, her gaze landing on the man in the VIP seating area.

Beside her, the head of the organizer was bowing his head, speaking cautiously.

Yet the man seemed indifferent, leisurely in demeanor, and not paying attention to what he was saying, holding a teacup, and looking through the steam at Lin Zhiyi with a dark, deep gaze.

The intense sense of oppression made her feel uneasy, and she couldn’t help but quickly shift her gaze.

Below the stage, most people did not look at Lin Zhiyi with any expectation.

After all, it was rare for someone like Song Wanqiu to enter a competition with a million-level uncut stone, not to mention that her design was both complete and innovative.

Even the head of the organizer thought so.

“Third Young Master, rest assured, I just asked Teacher Xue Man, and she is very satisfied with Miss Song. This time, first place undoubtedly belongs to her.”

Gong Chen sipped his tea and said indifferently, “Really?”

The head of the organizer was momentarily stunned, somewhat puzzled by his thoughts, and he glanced up following his gaze toward Lin Zhiyi on the stage.

He thought for a moment and suddenly understood.

“Third Young Master, I understand.”

Gong Chen truly didn’t care about what he was saying, his eyes fixated on the stunning figure on the stage.

The head of the organizer bowed and left the VIP area, muttering something to a staff member.

The staff member immediately ran off.

On stage, Lin Zhiyi nodded to the host, indicating that her piece could be revealed. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

A staff member immediately came over with a tray covered by a cloth.

When handing it to Lin Zhiyi, the staff member fumbled, and the tray dropped from Lin Zhiyi’s hands.

With a clang, her work shattered instantly, its original form completely unrecognizable.

The staff member retorted, “I already handed it over to you, everyone saw it.”

Song Wanqiu covered her mouth, pretending to be shocked, “Zhiyi, how could you be so careless? If you don’t want to compete with me, you could just say so. Isn’t this embarrassing for me and Teacher Xue Man?”

As she finished speaking, Xue Man, sitting in the judges’ area, frowned, visibly displeased.

Fans who were flattering Song Wanqiu began to jeer at Lin Zhiyi.

“She’s too arrogant for her own good!”

“She must be afraid of losing to Wanqiu, so she’s resorting to petty tricks!”

“People from her school say her grades are all because of a lecherous old teacher; look at her, all dolled up like a vixen.”

But there were some more rational fans.

“No way, right? She’s wearing an RR showpiece, and those dresses are unique – once they’re ordered, they become limited editions. Usually, only people with power and influence can get their hands on those dresses. Even Wanqiu’s wearing a common showpiece. Could a teacher really get her such a luxurious dress?”

A girl holding a Miss Song fan sign sneered, “Looking so provocative, maybe she has more than one patron? How could she compare to Wanqiu’s nobility and elegance?”

Song Wanqiu was as popular as a celebrity on the internet, with a substantial fan following. To curry favor with top fans to rally support for herself, she had deliberately arranged for seats behind the VIP area for her fans.

She hoped the fans would take some appealing photos of her and spread them online.

At the same time, it also satisfied some fans’ desires to be closer to Gong Chen.

Thus, all these words reached Gong Chen’s ears in the front row.

Gong Chen put down his teacup with a little extra force and glanced at Chen Jin beside him.

Chen Jin nodded and left.

Minutes later, five security guards arrived and, under the pretext of disturbing the order of the competition, covered the mouths of Song Wanqiu’s fans and removed them.
