801 -800: Really High-Level!
This competition is also the final round, with ten contestants selected out of thousands of applicants.
Hence, many judges held expectant gazes; after all, selecting one out of hundreds suggested these contestants must be quite skilled.
Under the host’s introduction, one contestant after another went on stage to present their works.
However, none were satisfying, causing several judges to listlessly rate them.
Even the highest score, given to a contestant from the USA, was only twenty-seven—a top score so far.
“Next, let’s welcome our eighth contestant, she is none other than Miss Livia, the former champion of the ‘Golden Craftsman Artistry and Design Competition’!”
“Now, let us invite her to present her work!”
After the eighth contestant stepped down, the host took to the stage and excitedly announced the next name.
“If it’s Livia’s work, it should be quite good.”
Hearing that it was Livia’s turn to present, the judges suddenly started chatting.
“Not necessarily, I heard that Livia had a conflict with Yuan Shanshan, the last champion, recently.
And I heard she was the one who started it; a person with such a personality may produce works that are not entirely pure.”
“Let’s just watch.
We are judges; we should focus on the works without mixing personal feelings.”
“Dada dada…”
Walking in high heels, Livia strutted onto the stage like a proud hen, holding her head high and swaying side to side.
She politely greeted the judges and audience before confidently presenting the design she had stolen and modified from Yuan Shanshan…
“This is…”
As soon as Livia produced the design, the judges, previously lazy, suddenly opened their eyes wide with sharp gleams and closely inspected it before inevitably exclaiming in admiration.
“This piece is truly exquisite!” one judge exclaimed, then pointed to Livia’s work, saying, “Miss Livia, you can start describing this piece now…”
“Yes, sir…”
Livia curled her lips in a smug smile, simply because she saw Yuan Shanshan’s expression change dramatically after her work was displayed.
Looking at Shanshan’s incredulous face, Livia felt immensely self-satisfied.
Reprehensible woman, I will show you that your work, once processed by me, will definitely help me win the championship!
And you, ha, it seems you don’t have time to redesign a piece to compete!
Livia was not afraid of Yuan Shanshan accusing her of plagiarism, simply because there was no evidence, and given she presented before Yuan Shanshan, the order of presentation spoke for everything – the judges would believe the one who presented first, not the second!
That is where Livia’s confidence comes from – her accomplice originally has a thieving background, with numerous thefts over the years.
If it weren’t for her suppression, he would have been arrested and sentenced by the police long ago.
She didn’t believe that Yuan Shanshan could get any evidence against her!
“This piece was inspired by a day looking at the blue ocean.
I boldly used sapphire as the main gem, combined with some gold edging and a golden necklace, turning it into a shining blue waterdrop under the sunlight – this is my work, ‘Sunlit Ocean!'”
The original design used silver for the edges and necklace; however, Livia, finding the color too understated, switched to gold to properly showcase the nobility of the piece.
Of course, we could also see it as rather nouveau riche.
As for the source of inspiration for this piece, it’s all made up by Livia, who isn’t the true creator of this piece anyway?
No matter whose it is, as long as it helps her win the championship.
With that title, more companies would seek her for collaboration.
Her money would then roll in.
“Truly a magnificent piece!
Miss Livia, your inspiration is simply wonderful!”
A judge still could not help but exclaim in admiration.
The golden gleam fascinated him, a judge from Saudi Arabia with a genuine love for gold.
And Livia’s piece just hit the spot for him, making him fall for the work.
“If only the gold edging could be replaced with silver, that would make the two colors more compatible and also more understated.”
The local French judge, a female, knew Livia well enough to be certain her ability couldn’t have produced such a design.
But with no evidence at present, it could indeed be her work; yet in her view, this piece was somewhat overembellished.
“Miss Livia, your use of gold seems a bit too embellished, affecting the aesthetic slightly, but this is just a minor point and cannot overshadow the beauty of your work.”
Ultimately, amidst Livia’s rather unsightly expression, all the judges gave their scores, and Livia achieved the highest score so far, with thirty-three points.
Seeing this score, Livia’s expression also improved slightly, after all, only she knew full well that this piece was originally supposed to use silver for the setting, not the current gold.
Below the stage…
“That…
that’s my work?!”
After Livia presented the piece, Yuan Shanshan’s pretty face suddenly changed drastically, staring at the somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar design, her expression turned quite ugly.
Subconsciously, she picked up her own design and compared it with Livia’s piece on stage, and immediately felt overwhelming grief; the piece was indeed hers, except for the different materials used, its shape was exactly the same as hers!
That is to say, her design was stolen, and the thief was Livia!
This woman!
Clenching her fists tightly, she was about to slam the table and confront Livia, but just as her hand was about to strike, a hand slowly extended from the side and caught Yuan Shanshan’s descending fist.
When she turned her head, she saw Hao Jian with a smile on his face, then heard him say: “There’s no need to get angry over this, just leave it to me.
If it weren’t for the plan to catch Livia and her accomplice all at once, I wouldn’t have let her steal your design.”
“You knew?!”
Hearing that Hao Jian was aware of the truth, Yuan Shanshan’s eyes slightly narrowed, then she slowly opened them and exhaled, saying, “Then give that woman a good lesson for me!”
“Er…
Aren’t you going to go up and argue with her?”
Hao Jian thought Yuan Shanshan would go and confront Livia despite his persuasion, but when she realized that he knew about the matter, she acted as if it was nothing…
Hao Jian was instantly speechless but also helpless; after all, he would be the one to resolve the matter in the end…
“Yo, our champion scores at last, I hope you can bring out a worthy piece for the competition!”
Having scored highly, Livia passed by Yuan Shanshan’s table with a smug face, then bent down her head and sneered, saying, “It’s not that I want to belittle someone, sorry, but this year’s champion is mine!”
“Haha!”
After saying that, Livia left laughing, who knows whether this woman would get angry and start an argument because her design was stolen; and that could expose her, so it’s better not to have too much interaction with Yuan Shanshan.
“Bastard!
That despicable woman!”
Hearing Livia’s mockery, Yuan Shanshan’s face turned furiously red, but thinking about the man beside her solving everything for her, she calmed down again.
Before Livia walked too far, a light statement from her made Livia’s figure jolt suddenly.
“Just wait and see, I, Yuan Shanshan, was never one to fight for the championship, but now since you intend to compete with me for it, let’s see who will be the ultimate winner!”
“Hmph!
I’ll be waiting!”
Livia paused her steps, then huffed coldly and quickened her pace towards her table, expecting to collaborate with many businessmen after the competition ends…
“Do you have a pen and sketch pencil?”
Watching Livia’s figure, Hao Jian shook his head disdainfully, then turned his head, looked at Yuan Shanshan, and said with a light laugh, “This time let me help you, you’ll have to design the subsequent works yourself.
This situation is rather special, just let me handle it…”
“Okay, alright…”
Yuan Shanshan, hearing Hao Jian’s suggestion, pondered for a moment and then nodded her head.
Although she wanted to handle her own affairs and the design was the same, this time Livia had already stolen her design, and she wouldn’t be able to redesign a satisfying piece in a short time.
But she didn’t want to see that disgusting woman, Livia, getting the championship and being smug, so she could only agree to Hao Jian’s proposal.
Only Hao Jian could design a breathtaking work in such a short time, and only he could quench Livia’s arrogant aura in this competition.
“Here are the pen and paper…”
Yuan Shanshan took the sketch paper and pencil out of her bag and handed them to Hao Jian, as a qualified gem designer, these two items were always kept close at hand.
