Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Full Points!

“10 points! I’m giving 10 points! No doubts!”

“To be able to see such a level of work in the Hua Feng Competition, what a surprise! It’s making an old geezer like me feel a little ashamed. As the saying goes, never underestimate the youngsters! 10 points!”

“I’m also giving her 10 points! It’s a must!”

The judges all graded Luo Chenxi respectively.

Sheng Yu was the only one who remained silent.

Luo Chenxi looked at him nervously.

Sheng Yu had given her trouble a few times before, he was not going to screw her over at a critical moment like this, was he?

Sheng Yu glanced at her, then steadily said, “My opinion… is the same as the other judges, 10 points!”

Luo Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief as she heard his words.

On the other hand, an uproar had already been rising in the other participants in the exhibition hall.

Every judge gave her 10 points, including the ever-so-strict Sheng Yu.

This meant that Luo Chenxi scored a whopping full, 70 points!

That had Wu Lingshan completely lagging behind!

“How could this be? Why did even Sheng Yu of all people give her full points?”

“Her design is indeed excellent, I never would’ve thought she’d be this outstanding. Did she really get expelled from the Royal College of Arts?”

“I’ve got to admit that her design is indeed pretty good, but aren’t full points a little over the top?”

“In other words, doesn’t that mean that she’s better than Wu Lingshan?”

Wu Lingshan’s expression turned an ugly shade as she listened to the crowd’s discussion.

She had been so sure that she would come out first place, so she paid absolutely no heed to any of the other participants. In her eyes, all these people were only here to compliment her presence.

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that someone could surpass her.

And that person even scored full points!

Even someone as demanding as Sheng Yu only gave her eight points, yet he gave Xin Chen 10 points!

How was this possible?

A sudden rashness got to her head and she darted in front of Sheng Yu to stop him.

“Chief… Chief Sheng! I think the score is unfair!”

Sheng Yu stopped and furrowed his brows. “Unfair?”

Wu Lingshan’s felt a little nervous under his deep and piercing gaze.

However, she still mustered the courage and said, “Yes, it’s unfair! No. 7, Miss Xin Chen’s design is indeed not bad, but in terms of the choice of fabrics and the quality of the clothes, they are all no match for mine. Yet she received full points, isn’t this way too unfair?”

Sheng Yu coldly answered, “Since you insist on asking, I shall explain it to you clearly.”

“Take a look at your design…” He turned around and pointed at Wu Lingshan’s exhibition booth. “These evening gowns of yours, truth be told, they don’t really have any originality in their designs.”

“They were only made with expensive fabrics and crafted by excellent embroidery craftsmen that you’ve hired, which is why the end product turned out with great effects. They possess limited value in terms of their designs! I’m giving you eight points on account of your father’s reputation!”

“As for Xin Chen’s work, she’s made a significant breakthrough in terms of design, be it the creativity or the composition, they were all very original. That’s what you would call a work of genius!”

“I even think that having only six points more than your total score is too low! It’s a shame that the score could not go any higher than full points.”

Everyone looked at Luo Chenxi in surprise.

Who would have expected the most influential chief designer in China to give Luo Chenxi such a high compliment!

Luo Chenxi herself was a little confused.

‘What the h*ll?’

What was going on? Did Sheng Yu take the wrong medication? Did he just compliment her instead of screw her over?

When Sheng Yu finished, he did not give so much as a glimpse to Wu Lingshan and turned around and walked toward the next booth.

Wu Lingshan’s face became red as tomatoes from the humiliation.

Ever since she returned to the country, everyone had been singing praises at her designs and calling her the first ever outstanding designer of the new generation.

Yet, she got heavily outclassed by a designer who did not even have a name in the market!
