However, neither the audience below nor Ye Xiyuan noticed the strange expressions on the judges! faces.
After speaking confidently, Ye Xiyuan finally finished.
She looked to the judges, bowed, and said, “l have concluded explaining my design concept. Please provide any corrections, judges.”
Though she spoke of accepting corrections, her tone rang proud, as if fully expecting no flaws could be found.
Of course, she could see the awe in the eyes below. But that aligned with her expectations. For years whenever she saw such a dress, she longed to possess one. It was nearly every girl’s dream.
The original had only appeared during Paris Fashion Week. Only the upper crust could obtain it afterward. The Ye family then lacked such standing. Most critically, her position in the household had been far too inferior for them to commission such finery on her behalf.
She had made minor alterations to the gown though, like the hem patterns and crystal accents. The inspiration featured diamonds, not crystals, along the skirt. But she felt crystals could achieve a similar effect while allowing affordability. So she swapped them in.
Brimming with confidence, she looked to the judges anticipating praise.
Airelly spoke first, devoid of any smile, her expression severe. “Ye Xiyuan, correct? I simply wish to ask if this gown is your original creation?”
“Yes,” Ye Xiyuan replied assuredly. “l drew this just now, a spark of inspiration from seeing the theme.”
With the original gown still a year from debuting, no one could have seen it yet to accuse plagiarism. She held no worries there.
“So you just now conceived this?” asked Sun Liyi, equally stern. “In just this short time, inspiration struck and you rendered these designs?”
“Yes, Ms. Sun,” said Ye Xiyuan humbly. “l know there may be inadequacies.
Please point them out so I may correct them.”
“I’ve nothing more to add,” stated fashion icon Linda flatly. “Let’s just score now.”
Ye Lengan said nothing, but her gaze toward Ye Xiyuan brimmed with derision. She had not expected Xiyuan to swiftly pivot with a new design after the theme shift.
Unfortunately, out of all the options for non-plagiarism, Ye Xiyuan had settled upon copying this very gown. It seemed the heavens stubbornly refused favor toward her!
The other judges simply nodded, concurring.
Soon scoring commenced.
Utterly assured, Ye Xiyuan believed that if not perfect marks, she would secure the highest of any contestant today.
Anxiously below, Ye Li could not guess the judges’ mindsets, especially with Ye Lengan among them. Would she deliberately underscore Xiyuan into defeat?
The tally was swiftly completed.
Ye Xiyuan’s final result flashed onto the screen. As the score was revealed, shock rippled through the room. No one could have predicted this outcome.
There shone Ye Xiyuan’s name, chased by a crimson zero – the sum total of her score.
At that glaring zero, collective disbelief abounded. No one would have imagined such a result for Ye Xiyuan. Its sole possible meaning was the unanimous failure to award even a single point..
