The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story

Chapter 198: Chapter 198, public works

?

The people present did not believe that a newcomer could win first place so easily. The voices of doubt grew louder and louder.

A middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes walked onto the stage. With a serious expression, he said, “Regarding this competition, we uphold a fair and just attitude. If anyone has any doubts about this, come and talk to me in private.”

The person who spoke was Liu Wenfang. He had seen Xu Wanwan’s works previously and approved of her.

After learning that she was master Nanshan’s new disciple, he felt rather regretful.

If he had met this girl earlier, he might have been able to take her as his disciple.

Young people with such talent and spiritual aura were rare. If he were to continue nurturing her properly, she would definitely have a bright future.

When everyone saw that Liu Wenfang, such a powerful figure, had personally gone up on stage to speak up for Xu Wanwan, although they were a little unconvinced, they did not dare to say anything else.

They questioned the newcomer’s ability, but they did not dare to not believe Liu Wenfang’s level of appreciation.

“Teacher Liu, since you said that this competition is fair and just, why aren’t you willing to show Xu Wanwan’s work in front of everyone?”

A dissatisfied female voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

Zhou Lin stood up and walked towards the stage. “I also want to Know How Outstanding This Newcomer’s Work Is.”

After she finished speaking, she cast her gaze towards Xu Wanwan, her eyes filled with a chill.

HMPH, don’t think that she doesn’t know how this so-called first place came about.

If even a country bumpkin like Xu Wanwan could win first place in the design competition, then she would really have to crawl out of Here!

Liu Wenfang looked at Zhou Lin unhappily. “There are rules at the competition venue. Without the designer’s consent, we don’t have the right to publicize her work.”

Xu Wanwan’s work had a lot of commercial value. If it was publicized rashly, it was very likely that the idea would be plagiarized.

“Since you’re so against it being made public, can I take it as showing off your work?”

Liu Wenfang was a little unhappy. “Why, are you still doubting my ability?”

“How would I dare to doubt your ability? I’m just as curious as the students here. If you insist on not making your work public, we can only assume that there’s something shady going on in this competition.”

Although she appeared polite on the surface, her tone was filled with hostility.

Under her lead, the people below started discussing even more enthusiastically.

“What? There’s actually something fishy going on in this competition?”

“Isn’t that obvious? A newcomer has never appeared in the design world before. Do you think it’s possible for her to get first place in her first competition?”

“That’s too unfair! We demand that her work be released, otherwise, there will be no objections to this competition!”

“This is unfair! Let’s make the results of the competition public!”

There was a flurry of discussion below, and the discussion became more and more intense.

Liu Wenfang was caught in a dilemma. Just as he was at a loss on how to resolve this matter, a girl with an outstanding temperament suddenly appeared on the stage.

“Teacher Liu, I have no objections if everyone wants to make my work public.”

Xu Wanwan politely nodded at him. Her tone was light, as if she did not care about this matter at all.

Liu Wenfang could not help but size up the girl when he saw how calm and easygoing she was.

The girl in front of him was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but her looks and temperament were exceptionally outstanding. She gave off a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.

Liu Wenfang was slightly satisfied. “You’re Xu Wanwan, right?”

“Yes.”

“There might be risks in publicly announcing your design work. Are you sure?”

Xu Wanwan smiled. “It’s fine. Please announce it for me.”

Announcing it wouldn’t have much of an impact on her.

After all, her design work wasn’t for the sake of making money. Instead, she wanted to get the design for the Li Corporation.

If she didn’t announce it, it would be misunderstood by them instead. It wasn’t worth it.

Liu Wenfang hesitated for a moment before deciding to announce it.

When Xu Wanwan’s design work was published on the big screen behind the stage, the people who were discussing it instantly shut their mouths.

Zhou Lin’s pupils constricted. When she saw the work, her heart was filled with extreme disbelief.

How was this possible! !

A country bumpkin from the countryside had never studied design before. How could she have such high standards! !

Xu Yue, who had been waiting to see the joke, was also stunned.

She had studied art since she was young, but she could not design such a work even after studying for so many years.

Xu Wanwan had stayed in the countryside for so long, so she should not have even learned what design was. But how did she learn so much in such a short period of time?

“Now that everyone has seen it, there should be no criticism, right?”

Liu Wenfang held the microphone and said in a deep voice, “I know that everyone here will be dissatisfied with something. Why should you spend so many years painstakingly researching design and still be inferior to a newcomer’s standard?”

“I want to tell everyone that any talent related to art is the most important. There is no lack of hard-working people in this world, but only those who are truly talented and hard-working are qualified to win.”

When Xu Yue heard these words, the jealousy in her eyes grew crazily, and she clenched her fists tightly in anger.

Talent?

Ha, she wanted Xu Wanwan’s talent to be killed here forever!

The Xu family was hers, so everything related to the Xu family would be hers.

Even if she was not the biological child of Sun Yeulan and Xu Zhongyi, she would never allow Xu Wanwan to enjoy any of the benefits that the Xu family brought to her.

Zhou Lin’s cold eyes narrowed as she thought of a decision.

After teacher Liu Wenfang finished his speech, the host went up on stage again and said, “Then, Miss Xu, please give your acceptance speech for everyone!”

Xu Wanwan was already standing on stage, so when she heard this, she was slightly stunned, but she still walked up to the microphone.

She focused slightly and looked calmly down the stage. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

In order to participate in this design competition, she had put in a lot of time and effort. Now that her wish had come true, her original heart had been lost.

In the end, she said a few careless words.

“Thank you, teachers, for your love. I can only thank my teacher for winning the competition. He was the one who gave me inspiration and motivation.”

“Secondly, talent is not something that can be done once and for all. In order to participate in this competition, I have put in a lot of effort. I also hope that you, who also like design, can find your own style of design.”

After a few simple words, it was time to receive the award.

Under the spotlight, Xu Wanwan endured the bitterness in her eyes and received the trophy that belonged to her.

However, she did not feel happy at all. More than that, she was disappointed..

If Li Jingran could come here, he would probably celebrate for her, right?

When she first became Li Jingran’s disciple and participated in the competition, it was all to help the Li Corporation.

But now, Li Jingran didn’t seem to need her anymore.

Xu Wanwan suppressed the overflowing emotions in her heart and quietly left the stage.

As the crowd left the stage, she also wanted to leave as soon as possible. She had only taken two steps when an urgent shout came from behind.

Liu Wenfang hurried over. “Xu Wanwan, wait!”
