Chapter 369: Xia Wan Agreed to pete
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The petition between Zhou En and Li Ru this time aimed to help Zhou En regain his confidence and allow her to understand the students of Imperial University better.
She planned to develop these students into her future customers once she attended university.
The petition took place at the venue of the University Student Union’s Cultural and Entertainment Department. The judges selected three individuals from the Student Union who had good reputations and were unfamiliar with Zhou En and Li Ru.
In addition to them, many students had spontaneously gathered to watch the petition.
These students believed that if the judges acted unfairly, they had the right to protest. This suqqestion had been approved bv the student council.
Zhou En nervously clenched her hands.
Being scrutinized by so many people made her feel embarrassed and anxious about her performance.
What she didn’t know was that Li Ru was also nervous. She had agreed to the petition but lacked confidence in her ability to beat Zhou En.
Li Ru looked at Xia Wan, who was standing beside Zhou En, and suddenly suggested, “We should form teams of two for this petition. We’ll design together, and the final results will be judged.”
Hearing Li Ru ts proposal, the surrounding people began to discuss it.
“No way. What’s wrong with Li Ru? If she’s afraid of losing, she should just admit it. Everyone knows that Lin Lin is of mixed race, and her mother is a famous British designer.”
“That’s right. Zhou En only has Xia Wan as her partner. How can they pete?” The people around were clearly in favor of Zhou En, believing that Li Ru was afraid of losing, so she sought Lin Lin’s help.
Zhou En breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Xia Wan’s design abilities surpassed hers, especially after witnessing Xia Wan’s design drawings while working with Wang Peng. She couldn’t match that level of design at the moment.
Li Ru responded, “I can find people to help; it’s my ability. My connections are also part of my success. I won’t restrict you from finding teammates. If you have good connections, you can find a better designer. However, the other party must be a student. Using a professional designer would be unfair.”
Upon hearing Li Ru’s words, the surrounding students were incensed and began to criticize her.
“How can she claim that it’s unfair for Zhou En to find a professional designer?
The one she found, Lin Lin, is practically half a professional.”
Li Ru glanced at the person who spoke and said, “You’re mistaken. Lin Lin’s mother’s influence doesn’t necessarily mean she has a good background. She is still a student. She hasn’t engaged in any professional design work before, so it’s not fair to say that I’m taking advantage of Zhou En.”
The people around were infuriated by Li Ru’s remarks but couldn’t refute her.
Li Ru provocatively looked at Zhou En, expecting her to get angry. However, Zhou En responded calmly, “That’s great. The friend I found is currently only a high school student. Her parents aren’t designers, and she has never been involved in any design-related work. I hope that if you lose, you won’t use my friend’s identity as an excuse.”
Li Ru sneered, thinking that Zhou En was just causing trouble. The young girl beside her clearly lacked experience.
She said, “Fine, what if I lose to you? I’m willing to make a bet.”
Xia Wan asked directly, “How would you like to pete?”
Li Ru explained, “We’ll each directly sketch our designs. Then, we’ll present them to the judges for feedback and determine whose design is more innovative. Of course, the specific topic can be discussed and decided upon by the three judges.”
Xia Wan agreed with her proposed method of petition. As the three judges began discussing the details, a woman in her forties approached them. The students greeted her upon seeing her. “Hello, Professor Chen Ning.”
Chen Ning smiled and nodded at everyone. “Hello.”
Chen Ning then turned her attention to Zhou En. “I didn’t expect to see you here. Let me be one of the judges for your petition. Does anyone have any objections?”
As Chen Ning was a design professor at Imperial University, no one dared to voice any objections, and they all expressed their approval..
