Chapter 356 - Champion

Jiang Xue Zi stood at the center of the stage and gave everyone a bow, "Thank you all for supporting me!"

Jiang Xue Zi then went to stand at the side while Lionel continued to announce the results.

"Oh, our second place is closer to our third place than to our first place! The difference between the second and third place is only 0.2 points!"

The audience gasped, and they were soon separated into two groups. One group cheered for Ning Hua while the other group cheered for Lu Jin Sheng.

"Ning Hua! Ning Hua!"

"Lu Jin Sheng! Lu Jin Sheng!"

"The one who obtained the first place with a score of 99.3 points is Lu Jin Sheng!"

Upon hearing that, the audience immediately erupted.

"Woo!!!!! Lu Jin Sheng!! Lu Jin Sheng!!"

"First place!! Champion!!"

"Lu Jin Sheng! Champion!"

"Oh my! 99.3 points is really damn high!"

"This is the highest score we ever seen so far, not taking into account the raw score just now!"

"He really is the new star in the fashion industry!"

"Lu Jin Sheng! Continue to work hard! No matter what happens, don't give up!"

"We will always support you!"

"We will support you no matter what happens, and you need to have faith in us!"

"Lu Jin Sheng won Ning Hua! A newbie won the god-like figure of the fashion industry!"

"No one could threaten Ning Hua's position in the fashion industry! Lu Jin Sheng is definitely going to be the first one to do that!"

"People even said that Ning Hua was holding it back because Lu Jin Sheng was a newbie. However, Lu Jin Sheng still won him at the end!"

"I think it is all fake."

"What's fake?"

"I think Ning Hua did not hold back at all. Look at how angry he got just now when he saw the score! I couldn't believe that that is the same person that we have been admiring!"

"You don't say. He looked as though he was ready to kill anyone that stood in his way just now!"

"Where did the kind Ning Hua go to?"

"Perhaps it was all fake. He was never kind."

"But... that is too hard to believe..."

"Do you not remember what Wen Ting Ting said during the interview? I feel like there is a lot more to it than what we know."

"OMG... My hand is aching... Let my brain rest for a moment."

"Never mind that for now. The most important thing is that Lu Jin Sheng won!"

...

Amidst the praises and congratulations for Lu Jin Sheng, the audience started to gossip about Ning Hua as well.

"Let's welcome our first place onto the stage!!"

Ning Hua was stunned when the results were revealed.

Ning Hua couldn't believe that he had lost. He had lost to Lu Jin Sheng with a score of 97.4!

"How could it be?!"

"The voting just now clearly stated that I had won!"

"There must be something wrong with the calculation!"

"Please! Calculate the scores again! That score should have been mine, or you guys miscalculated mine!"

…

Rosanne looked at Ning Hua with slight annoyance, and she picked up the microphone as she stared at him.

"There is nothing wrong with the calculation. Although, in the end, you did win the onsite and online voting, you only won Lu Jin Sheng by a little. If you remember what happened just now, you should know that the votes for Lu Jin Sheng rose rapidly before the screen was cut off. Besides, that only makes up forty percent of the final score. Hence, our first place can win you by almost two points. Moreover, have you forgotten that the judges could add additional points to the final score? Although you got a fair share of the votes as well, your original score was the lowest before taking into account the results of the voting."

Rosanne was annoyed not only because she knew that Ning Hua had stolen Lu Jin Sheng's designs, but also because Ning Hua had been extremely noisy.

Rosanne then added again, "Have you forgotten what you had been warned of earlier on? If you utter one more word, we will take away your second place. You can forget about taking part in any of our competition in the future as well. I really cannot believe that you are such a sore loser. I also cannot stand to see and tolerate you creating so much trouble every time we see you in the competition."

Ning Hua's face turned red from anger and embarrassment. He was once again forced to keep his mouth shut, but this time around, he managed to keep his cool because he was about to execute the plan that he had told Wen Ting Ting about.

Lu Jin Sheng walked onto the stage to receive the trophy, and he gave everyone a big bow.

"Thank you all for supporting me even with what happened just now. Thank you all for putting your trust in me, and I would not let you guys down. I will continue to work hard and do my best to present good works for all of you!"

The audience gave Lu Jin Sheng a huge round of applause once again, and he went to stand beside Jiang Xue Zi.

"Now, let's welcome our second-place winner, Ning Hua, onto the stage!"

Ning Hua walked up onto the stage and received the second place trophy unwillingly. However, he still maintained his smile and gave his fans a big thank you.

The competition had officially come to an end with the prize ceremony, but the show was only about to begin.

"Shall we settle their problems now?" Mo Xi asked the other judges just to be sure that they were fine with it.

The judges nodded, and Mo Xi thanked them before she took the microphone.

Mo Xi then spoke to Ning Hua and the others as she gestured to them, "Now, let's settle the issue between you guys."
