Chapter 1013: Phoenix Cry Wins First!
Not to mention that the Chinese had never seen such a magical embroidery method, let alone the foreigners. The audience erupted in surprise.
“Oh my god! Is that a computer special effect? What’s that bird that’s going to fly out of her hand?! It’s so beautiful!”
“How did she do this?! I can’t believe my eyes!”
In the second row of the show, Manda and Lady York looked at each other. Their eyebrows were furrowed. How could this be?
There were still five minutes left until the end of the competition. Cutting and sewing were too simple for Xia Wanyuan. She did not measure the size and took a pair of scissors to cut the fabric. The sewing machine clicked a few times.
At the last second of the competition, Xia Wanyuan pressed the completion button.
The runway was already prepared. Dozens of models were wrapped in special white materials. The special 3D lighting device on the runway was glowing red.
“Good! After three hours of competition, all the works have been designed. Next, it’s time for the long-awaited display. Without further ado, please enjoy the visual feast brought to us by the world’s outstanding designers!”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the lights in the runway began to dim. The light beam was given to the center of the runway.
One by one, the models walked up in order. They were clearly wearing tight white material clothes the moment they came out. When they stepped into the light, they wore seemingly material clothes.
At the same time, the designer’s design was constantly playing on the big screen behind the model.
Elegant evening gowns, elegant coats, long dresses that were filled with an exotic charm… Clothes that condensed different styles of designers were displayed in front of everyone.
Just as the designer had said, this was a beautiful visual feast.
According to the order of submission, Xia Wanyuan was the last, but she did not appear for a long time.
Backstage, Xia Wanyuan was in a deadlock with the organizers.
The organizers did not provide any model measurements, so Xia Wanyuan sewed it according to the average size of the model she had estimated.
However, before she went on stage, the organizer told her that models could not wear clothes.
“Change it,” Xia Wanyuan said simply.
“No, there are no more professional models. She’s the only one left here.” The staff pointed at a female model who was 190 centimeters tall and had a healthy figure but was not thin at all.
Such a figure was completely different from the figures of all the models in front. Xia Wanyuan could tell that the organizers were deliberately making things difficult.
“Miss Xia, there’s no choice. Who asked your design to have a problem?” The staff spread his hands and looked helpless. “Our people in Continent O are tall, unlike you Chinese. You didn’t consider the size of the model when you designed it. This isn’t our problem.”
Xia Wanyuan looked outside. It was almost her turn. She no longer pestered the staff. She picked up her clothes and walked into the changing room. The staff wanted to stop her, but she could not.
Half a minute later, the door to the changing room opened. As Xia Wanyuan walked out, she tied a hairpin for herself.
The fortunate thing was that when Xia Wanyuan went out in the morning, in order to celebrate, Xia Yu strongly suggested that Xia Wanyuan wear a pair of high heels with some red accessories as a prize. Now that they were in sync, they were very compatible.
The second last model outside had already walked onto the stage. Xia Wanyuan ignored the shocked gazes in the room and walked straight to the stage.
On the stage, the work of the second last designer was displayed. When it was Xia Wanyuan’s turn, there were no more designs.
After all, Xia Wanyuan did not draw at all.
As the music sounded, the curtain was pulled open and Xia Wanyuan walked out.
The moment they saw Xia Wanyuan, the entire venue fell silent.
The embroidery of the Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens was already lifelike in Xia Wanyuan’s hands. Now that it was worn by Xia Wanyuan, it appeared even more spiritual. As Xia Wanyuan walked, every feather of the phoenix seemed to be fluttering with the flames.
The clothes that were as red as flames and the embroidery of the Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens combined, giving this gown a noble and domineering aura that no one dared to look at.
What was most amazing was that Xia Wanyuan walked over quietly and actually suppressed the bright red and domineering Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens.
The clothes in front were beautiful, but it was not amazing.
As for Xia Wanyuan’s piece, it had shocked people from the bottom of their hearts from the beginning of the embroidery technique. It was stunning and even made them gasp.
How could a piece of clothing be so noble? That flame-like red seemed to have been branded into one’s heart!
Manda looked at the clothes on Xia Wanyuan and frowned tightly. She was not like others who only paid attention to the clothes Xia Wanyuan designed. What she saw was the huge design potential on Xia Wanyuan.
The current Chinese market was extremely important to Camellia, but Xia Wanyuan made her feel a sense of crisis from the bottom of her heart.
Without any other words, the reactions of the judges and audience explained everything.
In the end, Xia Wanyuan’s “Phoenix Cry of the Nine Heavens” obtained the admission ticket to the finals with a perfect score.
The competition had just ended when Xia Wanyuan became the number one trending topic on the Internet. Videos of her embroidery methods and runway show spread throughout the Internet.
The final competition was in the afternoon. At this moment, the audience in the show began to leave and eat in the surrounding restaurants.
Xia Wanyuan packed her things and came out. There were several groups of people waiting at the door.
“Hello, Mrs. Jun. Do you remember me?” Prince Charlie greeted Xia Wanyuan warmly. “We competed in horse racing last year.”
“I remember, Prince Charlie.” Xia Wanyuan nodded at him. “Long time no see.”
“Mrs. Jun, let me treat you to a meal. Your performance just now was really amazing. I haven’t asked you for knowledge about horse racing in a long time. It’s not easy to meet you this time. You must teach me more.” Prince Charlie, who loved horsemanship, looked at Xia Wanyuan with a glint in his eyes.
“I’m sorry, I’m a little busy. I can’t today.” Xia Wanyuan only wanted to eat and rest. The embroidery in the morning was too tiring.
“Alright then.” Prince Charlie noticed Xia Wanyuan’s tired expression. “Then rest well. I’ll definitely treat you to a feast after the competition.”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded and waved goodbye to Prince Charlie.
In the runway, rows of bodyguards stood in the aisle. An Luo sat in his seat and looked at the runway in silence. Slowly, his frown deepened.
Overboard woman. I helped her, but she didn’t even thank me.
“Hmph!” After a while, An Luo stood up. “Let’s go!”
At that moment, Xia Wanyuan appeared at the door. She smiled at An Luo. “Thank you for helping me prepare the embroidery thread.”
“Hmph, who helped you?” An Luo refused to admit it.
Xia Wanyuan’s dimples appeared. “I’m a little tired in the afternoon. I’ll go back first. I’ll treat you to a meal after the competition. Thank you.”
“Who wants you to treat me?” An Luo glanced at Xia Wanyuan in disdain. “I don’t want to eat something that tastes bad. I want something delicious.”
“Okay,” Xia Wanyuan agreed, then turned to leave.
In the show, a hint of joy appeared in An Luo’s blue eyes and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “At least you have a conscience.”
12 noon in France, 5 am in China.
The base was brightly lit. In the meeting room, Jun Shiling and everyone were discussing the reorganization plan.
“Officer, drink some water.” Lin Wei brought a glass of water over.
“Thank you.” Jun Shiling took the water and asked, “What time is it?”
“Five,” Lin Wei replied respectfully.
At five o’clock, Jun Shiling suddenly gestured to everyone. “Everyone, take a fifteen-minute break. We’ll gather in the meeting room in fifteen minutes.”
Then, Jun Shiling took out his phone and walked out. Lin Wei looked at Jun Shiling’s instantly softened expression and knew who he was talking to.
The call was quickly connected.
“Have you had lunch?” Jun Shiling asked gently.
“I’m eating. I got someone to send it to the hotel.” Xia Wanyuan spoke to Jun Shiling as she ate.
“Don’t eat and drink at the same time.” Jun Shiling’s words successfully stopped Xia Wanyuan’s outstretched hand.
“You’re clairvoyant.” Xia Wanyuan smiled. “Are you busy with work?”
“Mm, I’m in a meeting.” Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s voice, Jun Shiling felt very empty. “Eat. Stop talking. Your stomach will hurt later. I’ll accompany you.”
Okay ~” Xia Wanyuan switched the call into a video and finished the food in front of Jun Shiling.
Fifteen minutes had passed. Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan reluctantly. “I’m going to be busy. Take good care of yourself.”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded and smiled with two dimples. She even waved at Jun Shiling. “Goodbye, CEO Jun.”
Xia Wanyuan’s delicate appearance softened Jun Shiling’s tired eyes. “Bye, good luck.”
After dinner, Xia Wanyuan set an alarm and began her lunch break. She slept soundly, but in the afternoon, many others could not sleep.
“Xia Wanyuan performed so well in the morning. I’m afraid there will be a problem with the competition in the afternoon.” Manda spoke to Mrs. York uneasily. The lunch in front of the two of them was barely touched.
Lady York did not look worried at all. “Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything.”
No matter how skillful she was, how could she turn the world upside down with the worst materials??
