Chapter 402: Participation Confirmed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The IM Design Competition, originating from Germonia and boasting a history that spans over a century, is a prestigious event highly esteemed in the design industry. Rong Qi was the first person from Leucia to have won the IM Gold Award several years ago.
As soon as the announcement hits Weibo, the social media platform bubbles with excitement, stirring both competing and non-competing designers.
[Am I dreaming? Camellia is making a comeback?!]
[Is Camellia representing herself or her company?]
[Did Camellia sign with a company?]
[Are you still living in the 2G era? Don’t you know that Qiyan Studio is literally owned by Camellia? If she’s competing in IM, she’s obviously representing Qiyan Studio!]
[No way… I also applied. Now I’m going to get crushed. If Camellia wins again, who in Leucia could possibly compete with Qiyan Studio? I heard Qiyan Studio also has another renowned designer, Jian Yunyan. I’m totally envious.]
[The only ones who might stand a chance are from Ye Group, right? I wonder if both will collaborate or compete. Ye Group has been quite low-key lately. Haven’t heard much from them. However, I heard they are sending someone for this competition. Hoping for a Ye Group and Qiyan Studio alliance to bring our local designs to international recognition.]
[Should someone like me, who earns less than ten thousand a month, even bother thinking about this? With so many big names participating, I doubt I’ll even get a consolation prize.]
Not just the local folks, but international peers on MSN also join the conversation.
[Finally, I have a chance to compete with Camellia. I am looking forward to it.]
[I admire Camellia very much. I heard she’s a girl and I wanted to compare with her. I’m a girl too and I hope I can be as good as her.]
Rong Qi, perusing the flurry of comments, hesitates for a moment before retweeting IM’s Weibo post, captioning it, [I’m back.]
As soon as that was posted, even those fans who were out of the loop were in the know. The Florians instantly start sharing.
[Oh my God! It’s the IM competition! Camellia, you’re amazing. Go for it!]
[Our Camellia is so impressive. The IM officials personally welcomed her back. Who else can match this level of influence?]
[Where Camellia soars, her fans will follow. Always supporting Camellia.]
Some excited Florians even posted on the IM Design Competition’s website to show their gratitude. Which led some of the senior Florians to quickly rein themselves in.
[Listen, Florians. Let’s not cause trouble for Camellia. Stay within the boundaries. We can be excited under Camellia’s posts; the professionals are discussing under the IM’s. We wouldn’t want to embarrass ourselves. Just quietly anticipate Camellia’s designs. Let’s celebrate her return discreetly. Love you all. Retweet this for a chance to win Camellia merchandise.]
[Exactly. We just need to know that we adore someone exceptional. Let’s keep the chatter low-key.]
Responses flood in, succinctly replying: [Understood.]
Meanwhile, the news of Camellia’s return to the design industry is nothing short of a bombshell. Gu Ziye stares at the bustling Weibo feed, fighting the urge to tap that ‘like’ button.
His face is contorted, teeth gritted as he glares at the post.
Beside him, Mrs. Gu, who is enjoying an orange, looks at him quizzically. “Are you constipated? What’s with that grimace? It’s awful.”
Gu Ziye was at a loss for words..
