Chapter 1535 - A Successful Counterattack by a French Competitor (1/2)

The competition carried on in full swing.

As a result, no one noticed the brief exchange in looks between Wen Xinya and Shen Siwen.

Wen Xinya calmly retrieved her gaze and expressed nonchalance toward Shen Siwen’s grievous and hateful eyes. Compared to that wicked and perverse Xia Ruya, a naive, princess-type girl like Shen Siwen was not worth her attention.

Shen Siwen lowered her head and tightened her fists, her sharp nails digging into her tender flesh. Only the resulting slivers of pain managed to soothe her consternation.

She finally experienced that unbearable rage her junior Yan Menglu felt whenever she mentioned Wen Xinya’s name.

At that point, the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition had produced two high-scorers—Wen Xinya and Shen Siwen. The two of them had surpassed the front few competitors to emerge at the top.

Although everyone was still eagerly looking forward to the final two competitors, the majority of the crowd had already come to the conclusion that Wen Xinya and Shen Siwen would end up becoming the winners of this segment.

After all, their designs were truly too marvelous to behold.

Wen Xinya had used her extreme talent and flawless narration to display the intense soul and meaning behind her creations, completely stunning the judges.

Meanwhile, Shen Siwen had used her whimsical ideas to design a highly marketable product that appealed greatly to the mass audience.

One with 95 points!

One with 93 points!

These were already two of the highest scores in the whole history of the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition!

Most of the people felt that there was no way the remaining two competitors could outdo Wen Xinya and Shen Siwen.

However, a competitor hailing from France presented a design concept based on dolphins and successfully pulled ahead of Shen Siwen to achieve 94 points.

This jewelry set based on dolphins was extremely intricate and unique. The harmony between red and blue filled the creations with a sense of contemporary and intensity.

The gist of the design was conservation. The competitor’s father worked in a sea aquarium and his job was to take care of the dolphins. As a result of her father’s influence, she had loved dolphins from a young age. But due to the pollution of the oceans and cruel hunts, the number of dolphins in the wild had dropped significantly. This gave her a lot of heartache.

Her designs were a call to society to conserve the ocean. To conserve the lives of the dolphins!

Compared to Wen Xinya’s profound knowledge and eloquent narration of a mysterious and vivid mythology tale, as well as Shen Siwen’s romantic naivety which left a favorable impression on the audience and judges—this French competitor used her deep feelings and passionate cause to move the crowd.

Wen Xinya liked the designs of this French competitor very much. Her matched jewelry set was not only rich in meaning but also very marketable. The successful merging of these two qualities instantly earned a nod of recognition from everyone.

And the only reason that the competitor lost to her was that she didn’t manage to adequately express the soul of her creation. Further, although her designs were very meaningful, they were still not as intense as Wen Xinya’s.

Nevertheless, she still managed to surpass Shen Siwen and was just one point behind Wen Xinya.

“94 points. Another high score! Oh, this moment is just too thrilling for words.”

The host’s animated voice moved the already lively atmosphere.

Shen Siwen stared fixedly at the dolphin set. Her whole face had gone deathly pale.

She had thought that after losing to Wen Xinya, she would still get second place. She never expected this last-minute emergence of a 94-point high-scorer.
