Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day Novel - Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009: Conflict at the Western Restaurant

France.

Xia Yu’s mission this time was to follow Xia Wanyuan closely. Hence, when Xia Wanyuan participated in the competition, Xia Yu acted as her assistant and helped her carry her bag.

France was originally the capital of art, and many domestic fashion brands were famous internationally. In this design competition, France had provided the famous Marina Bay Art District as the venue.

The art area was a semi-open-air design. Sitting not far away was a clean beach and blue sky and white clouds. Inside was the designers’ competition area and runway display area.

Xia Yu followed Xia Wanyuan around and was a little curious. “Sister, there are so many seats. Why does it seem like there’s no one?”

“Because today is the day to pick the materials and decorations. There will only be a show tomorrow.”

The design competition this time was different from the past. The organizers wanted to test the contestants’ adaptability and design standards.

They prepared an entire pile of fabric and decorations. Everyone was limited to three things.

Creating art required time and inspiration. The organizers left a night for the contestants.

The next day, they had to cut and design it live. Then, they went straight to the stage and the professional judges and the audience would choose the most shocking work.

…

There were many contestants participating in this design competition. It was almost time to choose the materials, and there were already more than thirty contestants present.

Xia Yu could not follow Xia Wanyuan in anymore. He found a seat at the door and waited for her while she followed the crowd to the backstage area.

Although there were many people participating, there were not many people from Continent Y like Xia Wanyuan. There were only about five to six of them, and most of the contestants were designers from Continent O and Continent M.

“Hello, my name is Jian Yun. Are you from Han Country too? Or is it Cherry Blossom Country?” Xia Wanyuan was admiring the surrounding scenery as she walked. A young man with his hair tied up walked over and spoke fluent foreign language.

He had noticed this beautiful woman from Continent Y the moment he entered. She was simply much more beautiful than his model.

“China,” Xia Wanyuan replied briefly.

“China can actually participate this year?” Jian Yun was clearly very surprised.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at him and walked away.

She had learned a lot of world history during this period of time.

In her previous life, although they did not know much about these foreign countries at that time, it did not stop China from being the most advanced country in the world at that time.

Now that the stars had changed, China was actually ostracized internationally as a joke, as if this country was synonymous with dirt and poverty.

Especially Han Country. A country that relied on the American army to protect the people of Han Country did not have any autonomy at all. Where did the sense of superiority come from to mock China, which was not yet strong but had a straight spine?

“Welcome, designers. Now that everyone has materials and decorations to choose from, the staff will give everyone a basket with their own nameplate. Everyone can only choose three items. After choosing, please hand the items to the staff and everyone can leave.”

As soon as the host finished speaking, many people began to snatch the raw materials.

One could not make bricks without straws.

To designers, having good raw materials was like adding wings to a tiger.

At this moment, no one cared about the gender difference. The male designers relied on their height to snatch the raw materials they wanted.

Fortunately, the organizers had prepared enough fabrics and decorations for these designers.

Xia Wanyuan had wanted to continue Xiu Yi’s design style, so she chose a piece of cloud brocade and some gems and dried flowers to put in the basket.

Soon, it was time. The staff came and took away everyone’s baskets. The contestants were also asked to leave the venue.

One by one, the baskets were brought backstage. In the final sealing stage, a short man secretly found the one with Xia Wanyuan’s name in the many baskets. Then, he secretly took out the things inside and stuffed a small package in his pocket.

After doing all this, he looked up at the window not far away. A figure flashed past.

The surveillance cameras in the backstage area that had been dim for a while began to flash red again.

“Sister, are you done choosing?” Xia Yu squatted at the door, feeling bored. He finally waited for Xia Wanyuan to come out.

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

“The restaurant that was booked yesterday is open for business again today. Let’s go to that one.” Xia Yu kept feeling that Western food was not filling. He felt hungry just by walking around.

Xia Wanyuan looked back at the art area and nodded. “Let’s go.”

The restaurant that Xia Yu had mentioned was extremely famous in France, so it had become a place where foreigners had to come to.

Not only did Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu go, but many designers who came to participate in the competition also chose this place to eat.

“That’s all.” Xia Yu volunteered to order the dishes, then took out the translator he had just checked and handed it to the waiter. “Please give us a pair of chopsticks.”

Xia Wanyuan was used to using chopsticks. Xia Yu had long discovered this.

“I’m sorry, customer.” The waiter was a blonde and hot beauty. She winked at Xia Yu. “This is a French restaurant. We don’t serve chopsticks.”

“Okay, okay.” Since they did not have it, Xia Yu did not force her. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. “Sister, you have to suffer.”

Xia Wanyuan nodded. It was best if there was, but if not, it could be done without a spoon.

The blonde beauty winked at Xia Yu and left with the menu.

Xia Wanyuan took the restaurant manual from the side. As she read, her actions stopped.

Jun Shiling had taught her French. Although she was not proficient, she could still understand daily conversations.

At this moment, the guests sitting beside her were discussing her and Xia Yu.

“Hey, look at the woman beside us. Isn’t she participating in the competition with us? She actually asked the waiter for chopsticks in a French restaurant. Oh my god, this is too scary.”

“Hahaha, I’ve seen her introduction. She seems to be a designer from China. China uses chopsticks. She has probably never eaten Western food. How pitiful. She actually uses chopsticks to eat in a Western restaurant. Oh my god, she’s too old-fashioned.”

“It’s China. Isn’t it very normal? The last time I saw the clothes designed by their designer, it was an international design style from twenty years ago. They still use elements that have been outdated for a long time. I really don’t understand why they have the cheek to participate in the competition.”
