An Zhisu and Professor Guan arrived neither too early nor too late. Every designer needed to sign in and take photos. An Zhisu temporarily separated from Professor Guan and went to report at the signing place.
"Is this Miss An?" The staff at the check-in counter handed her a signature pen.
An Zhisu took a signature pen and walked to the huge signature wall to sign her name. Then the photographer took pictures of her and the videographer also captured the footage for her.
The cheongsam she was wearing was carefully selected before she came here. It was brightly colored and very photogenic. It would be even more dazzling under the lens. The videographers and photographers couldn't help but capture a lot of her shots.
After signing, An Zhisu brought Tang Zheng into the venue. Other designers either brought their assistants or their design teams. Only An Zhisu came alone, with only a bodyguard, keeping a low profile and not attracting attention.
There were already many people sitting in the venue. An Zhisu found his seat according to his name. Tang Zheng and other designers' assistants and teams sat on both sides, and the designers' seats were all in the middle.
After An Zhisu sat down, he had nothing to do. He was waiting for the opening ceremony to start. He started playing on his mobile phone out of boredom. He didn't know anyone around him and had no desire to talk. He played a stand-alone game and enjoyed it.
"Don't you know how to make way?" Before the level was completed, an unfriendly female voice sounded above the head, speaking fluent English.
An Zhisu thought it was a foreigner, but when she looked up, she realized it was an Oriental face. There were only five Oriental faces in the designer's roster. Even if her memory was bad, she could still remember this lady's name.
Li Youli, from Hong Kong, China, is a compatriot of her motherland.
An Zhisu originally had a feeling of compatriots towards her. After all, among a hundred designers, they were the only two from the same country. But now that she met her and heard the other party's rude tone, it became difficult for her to treat this compatriot.
I feel good again.
She is not a person who likes to stir up trouble, but she is not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others. Li Youli's tone asked her to give way, but she refused to give in.
He stood still and stopped playing games. He stared straight ahead, pretending he didn't hear anything.
"Didn't you hear me talking to you?" Li Youli's tone became even worse when she saw that An Zhisu was ignoring her.
An Zhisu still acted as if he hadn't heard anything or seen a living person standing next to him, he was calm and composed.
"Are you deaf?" Li Youli was a little angry.
"Are you a foreigner?" Finally, An Zhisu spoke to her, speaking in standard Mandarin.
Li Youli was confused by the question and responded reflexively: "Of course I am not. Can't you see that I am also Chinese?"
An Zhisu's beautiful eyes showed a sneer: "You are Chinese, and I am also Chinese, so why are you trying to teach me English? Don't you speak your native language?"
Li Youli:......
Li Youli's face changed immediately, as black as the bottom of a pot, as if she had been slapped by An Zhisu.
"If you don't speak Mandarin, you will always speak Cantonese." An Zhisu went into sarcastic mode. He thought, "I'm going to let you chat with me and try to teach me English. Do you speak English well? If you have the ability, you can compete with me."
Mandarin.
Li Youli's face became even more ugly. She stood still here all the time. Many designers around her were looking at her, and the camera would glance over her from time to time, making her look particularly abrupt.
"You... give way." Li Youli relented and spoke a not-so-standard Mandarin.
"Don't you want to say please?" An Zhisu insisted on making her feel good about herself.
Li Youli gritted her teeth and added the word "please": "Please give way."
An Zhisu showed an elegant smile, moved his legs, and made way for Li Youli to pass through the aisle.
In fact, although the aisle is not spacious, there is no need for others to give way when passing people. Coincidentally, the hem of the dress Li Youli wore today was a bit too big, so she needed others to turn slightly sideways to pass smoothly. If she forced her way through, the hem of her skirt would rise.
If it's wrinkled, it won't look good.
Li Youli's seat was right next to An Zhisu. She sat down angrily. If she had known, she would have come from the other side. This An Zhisu was really annoying and rude.
An Zhisu could feel the hostility from Li Youli. She was a little confused. She didn't know her, so where did the other party's hostility come from? Even if there is a competitive relationship between them now, there is no need to show it so obviously. No.
Seeing that she is so hostile to others, she can still say hello to the Korean designer next to her.
baffling!
An Zhisu couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it. He continued to play the mobile game with his head down. After playing two games, all the designers finally came in. At eleven o'clock in the morning, the opening ceremony started on time.
An Zhisu also learned the process of the opening ceremony in advance from Professor Guan. First, the organizer gave a speech, introduced the competition process, and introduced the judging panel. Then the judging panel appeared one by one and gave a brief speech.
Later, the hundreds of participating designers will be introduced one by one. The designers will also stand up and show their faces to let everyone get familiar with each other. However, An Zhisu feels that 80% of people will not remember the faces of strangers. Anyway, she is
I don't remember many faces.
The last part of the opening ceremony was to draw lots to determine the order of tomorrow's competition. The staff held a lottery box. There were one hundred hollow table tennis balls in the box. Numbers were written on the hearts of the balls. Whichever number was drawn was the number.
Starting from the first designer in the first row, pass down after the first one has drawn, and so on until the last one in the last row.
There were ten people in a row, ten rows in total. An Zhisu was sitting in the middle of the fifth row. When the lottery box was passed to her, she put her hand into the hole, took out a table tennis ball from it, and then passed the box to her.
To Li Youli.
Li Youli snorted and took it, then took out a ball and passed it to others.
An Zhisu was really too lazy to pay attention to her hostility. He opened the table tennis ball he drew and saw the number written on the ball's heart.
100!
An Zhisu:......
Damn it, what kind of bad luck did I have to draw the last number?
Li Youli drew the number 66, which is a very auspicious number. She took a peek at An Zhisu and found that An Zhisu had drawn the number 100. She couldn't help but be excited: "You are so unlucky, you actually drew the number 100. I drew 66
No., don’t be envious.”
"Why are you so proud of No. 66? The one who drew 88 hasn't spoken yet. Who gave you the courage?" An Zhisu asked Li Youli sideways.
You will be lucky on the 66th, but others will still make a fortune on the 88th. Is this worth showing off?
The villain succeeds!
An Zhisu didn't give Li Youli a chance to bluster in front of her: "Do you know what fortune wine is? It's the last drop of wine in a bottle of wine. The number I draw is fortune wine, do you understand? Forget it.
, you definitely don’t understand that a person who can’t even speak Mandarin well can expect you to understand any more profound culture.”
Li Youli:......
Li Youli's face turned red after being criticized. She was born and raised in Hong Kong and did not understand mainland culture at all. She had never heard of the Fortune Wine mentioned by An Zhisu.
