2258 Twins
Most of the others were also wearing masks, but not many of them looked at her. Everyone was nervously preparing for the competition.

Roman shouted in Qiao Weiyang’s direction, “Miss Qiao, what a coincidence.”

“What a coincidence.” Qiao Weiyang glanced at her indifferently. “Are you here to participate in the competition too?”

“I’m here to participate in the competition with Jierou.” Her arrogant expression was obvious.

“You still work in Qiao Group?” Qiao Weiyang asked curiously.

“What do you mean?” Roman heard the sarcasm in her words.

Qiao Weiyang spread her hands and did not explain.

Back then, Roman and Hu Haitian were both recruited by Huang Shumin. They were not very capable and had a bad temper. However, they were indeed good at socializing and knew how to please others. Huang Shumin was extremely satisfied with them.

In Qiao Weiyang’s opinion, such people should go to the market and work as salespeople to avoid wasting their eloquence.

However, these two felt that the job of a designer was easy and they could earn money without too many difficulties. Thus, they wanted to be designers. Huang Shumin also went against everyone’s wishes and made them designers.

The two of them were not professionals to begin with, so they often could not even figure out the principles of their designs. Qiao Weiyang often sent their designs back.

Unexpectedly, they were still doing well in Qiao Group.

Being provoked by Qiao Weiyang, Roman couldn’t help but say, “Qiao Weiyang, tell me what you meant just now.”

“Whatever you think it means,” Qiao Weiyang said indifferently.

“Alright, don’t lower yourself to her level.” Hu Haitian pulled Roman back. “Who does she think she is? Back then, she deliberately suppressed us. Now, she can’t bear to see us doing well! Compared to Miss Jierou, such a person is simply worlds apart!”

Hearing those rude words, Qiao Weiyang turned around and stared at Hu Haitian coldly.

Hu Haitian was so frightened that she took two steps back. She did not dare to meet Qiao Weiyang’s gaze and said, “Let’s go.”

“Sister, the two of them don’t have any ill intentions. Don’t take it to heart. You should think about your design carefully. Otherwise, it won’t be good if you don’t pass the quarter-finals,” Qiao Jierou said gently and teasingly. “Don’t you think so?”

She was fearless and felt that she had gotten everything after getting Qiao Weiyang’s design folder.

She looked down on Qiao Weiyang with a high and mighty attitude.

Qiao Weiyang nodded gently. “Yes, I hope I can see you at the event location of the finals. I’m looking forward to it.”

There was a deeper meaning in her words, but with Qiao Jierou’s intelligence, she probably wouldn’t be able to tell.

…

There were three judges present. One was from S Country, and the other two judges, a man and a woman, were from France.

The configuration of the judges could be considered very scientific.

The examination process was very fast and uniform.

“Every participant will have a set of tools in front of them. These tools include a pencil, paper, needle, scissors, ruler, plastic model, and so on. There are also four pieces of cloth of different colors for you to choose from. There’s no limit to the style or gender. You can choose these pieces of cloth to use. The time limit is two hours. Let’s begin.”

With the assistant’s introduction, everyone immediately picked up their pens and drew lines on the paper.

Actually, since they wanted to participate in the competition, they had prepared their design drafts long ago. It was impossible for them to design it at the event location.

However, they were not allowed to bring the design drafts over during the examination. Everyone had to draw the designs according to their previous ideas. Then, they would cut the fabric and sew it.

Completing this process in two hours was actually a very difficult process.

Not only did this require extremely fast hand speed, but it also required one to be very familiar with all kinds of skills.

Many designers either did not know how to cut or sew, so they could not participate in such a competition.

Those who could participate in this competition were basically talented people in all aspects.

Everyone began to move.

Only Qiao Weiyang did not move.
She sat in her seat with a relaxed expression, only occasionally glancing in Qiao Jierou’s direction.

The assistant came over and reminded her twice, “Designer, please hurry up.”

“Understood.” Qiao Weiyang nodded gently. “Thank you.”

It was almost halfway through when she picked up the scissors and cut all the fabric in front of her. Then, she picked up the needles and thread to start sewing.

Seeing her smooth movements, the judges couldn’t help but look in her direction.

The others first drew the design drafts, then cut the fabrics before sewing them.

However, she did not even use a ruler and directly cut the fabrics.

Soon, she was ahead of everyone.

The judges couldn’t help but nod repeatedly. It was obvious that she had to have something to make her so daring.

This was the confidence and talent of a designer.

When everyone’s clothes were ready and placed on the models, the judges could choose which clothes would stay.

Only the designers whose clothes remained on the models were qualified to introduce their works. If their clothes were not chosen, it meant that they had already been eliminated.

The judges first walked up to Roman and shook their heads. Obviously, they didn’t like this designer’s work.

This was normal. Although Roman had made the clothes, she couldn’t put them on the model no matter what. This meant that either she hadn’t thought about this when she designed the clothes, or she didn’t leave any room for the clothes to be worn on the model.

This was what Qiao Weiyang had said before. Roman didn’t even have a basic foundation in design, so she didn’t know many basic principles.

When Qiao Weiyang was around, she even taught her many times.

Qiao Jierou directly promoted her after Qiao Weiyang left and even let her participate in the competition. It was simply embarrassing.

“Which company are you from?” The judge from S Country was an older man and was very serious.

Roman was vexed because she couldn’t put the clothes on the model. When she was asked this, she said with a sob, “I’m from Qiao Group.”

There were cries all around. It was obvious that they did not expect such a low-level designer to appear in such a big fashion company.

“I’m sorry, Sir. Please give me a chance…” she pleaded in a coquettish voice.

“Speak properly!” the judge said unhappily.

Roman was so frightened that she fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was looking at Roman and her, Qiao Jierou wished there was a hole in the ground for her to hide in.

Why didn’t she know that Roman was only capable of this?

“You can leave now,” the judge said to Roman.

Right on the heels of that, those who were not chosen were eliminated.
