Chapter 355 - Hidden Star

"You said many things just now. Which sentence are you referring to?"

"Something that could trigger their minds. Something that could make them vote base on their likings and not be affected by what they had heard."

"How could they not be affected by what they had heard? Not only did Ning Hua said something that sounded really suspicious, but Luo Bing Bing also said something suspicious. This is as though your brother is hiding something from the audience and judges. Something important that only the people involved would know. Ning Hua is targeting your brother directly while Luo Bing Bing is targeting An An directly, which would indirectly affect your brother. So, how could they not be swayed by what they heard?"

"I wouldn't say that they won't be affected totally. However, there would be people who wouldn't, and there would be people who would be swayed but end up swaying back. As for why they would sway back, that is because of what I had said."

Yan Chu thought for a moment and realized what Mo Xi was talking about, "You mean that sentence where you said something along the lines that we, the judges, would make sure that justice prevails?"

"Yeap. More."

"And that we would hold the competition again if this competition is unfair in any way?"

"Mhm."

"How would this make them choose your brother's design?"

"Ignoring the fact that you knew my brother or me, would you vote for Ning Hua's design or Lu Jin Sheng's design?"

"I guess Lu Jin Sheng's design? His designs are much more attractive and special. What does this have anything to do with my question?"

"If you were just a normal person and you heard Ning Hua and Luo Bing Bing's words, would you have chosen Ning Hua's work instead of Lu Jin Sheng's?"

"Maybe. Probably?"

"If I told you that I would make sure that the competition is fair and if anyone is being treated unfairly, I will make sure that I return the justice. Would you choose Lu Jin Sheng's work?"

"Most likely, since I don't have to worry that my votes would cause any victimized designer to be not given the glory. Then, I can just vote freely based on what I dėsɨrė."

"There you have it. Now, we just have to wait. They just need a little time for what I had said to seep into their mind before it rings a bell to them, and then they would switch sides."

"What if they still end up voting for Ning Hua?"

"Then that might be even better for my brother. The higher he climbs, the harder he falls. No matter what the result is today, he is here for us to bring him down. If he wins, then the slap on his face would be the hardest that we could ever give him. Imagine. Ning Hua is standing on the stage, all high and mighty, and we suddenly give him a tight slap on the face. Don't you think that that is even more fun?"

Yan Chu let out a soft laugh, "Pfft. You are still the same."

Yan Chu then looked at the voting once again, and he turned back to look at Mo Xi before he laughed.

The voting for Ning Hua had started to stop, and the votes for Lu Jin Sheng begun to rise rapidly instead. Meanwhile, the votes for Jiang Xue Zi had been rising steadily since the start.

Moments later, the ȧssistants totaled up the scores for the onsite and online voting to the final scores of each team. The judges then proceeded to vote for their favorite designs.

Yan Chu laughed once again when he saw the results of the voting done by the judges.

Lu Jin Sheng's team had the highest number of votes. Out of thirty votes from the ten judges, he received thirteen votes. Of which, eight votes were given to the final design, the queen's outfit.

Jiang Xue Zi's design received a total of seven votes, and five of it were given to the only female clothing that she had, and the other two were given to the suit.

Ning Hua received ten votes, and they were all given to the dress that Luo Bing Bing wore.

The ȧssistants quickly totaled up the score and handed the final results to Lionel.

Lionel was the Principal of Capital College of Fashion, so he was tasked to announce the result since the competition was held in Capital College of Fashion.

Lionel stood on the stage with a bright smile while the audience looked at him eagerly as they anticipated the results.

Lionel brought the microphone to his mouth, and it was as though everything was in slow motion because everyone was too anxious.

"In the third place, with a score of 97.2 points, we have Jiang Xue Zi!"

Jiang Xue Zi looked down for a moment as she couldn't believe that she had really made it thus far. Although she was slightly disappointed that she didn't do better, she knew that she had done her best for the competition and she had no regrets.

Jiang Xue Zi looked up once again, and she smiled while she stood up and walked towards the stage.

The audience clapped loudly for Jiang Xue Zi when she walked onto the stage to receive her trophy.

"Jiang Xue Zi! Fighting!"

"Keep going! You are a hidden star!"

"You would shine brightly one day! You are already shining brightly now!"

"Your mommy would be very proud of you! You have done well!"

The audience cheered for Jiang Xue Zi while she walked, and they sincerely hoped that she would be proud of her achievement.
