After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

There is a total of nearly one week of rest time from the preliminary round to the semi-final.

After Zhu Jin came back from the zoo that day, he rested for two days and then went to the semi-finals.

At Zhu Jin's request, Huo Jingcheng specially changed to another more low-key car for pick-up.

This time, he did not park his car farther away, but parked it at the entrance of the competition.

Zhu Jin was about to pack up her prepared items and get off the car when someone grabbed her wrist. She turned around with confusion in her eyes, "What's wrong?"

A gentle kiss was placed on the lips.

"Come on." Huo Jingcheng said.

Zhu Jin's ears instantly turned red. She glared at the other person and pushed him back. "Got it. I'll try my best."

"It's okay, just do your best." Huo Jingcheng said.

Zhu Jin opened the door and got out of the car. As soon as he arrived at the competition entrance, he found that he received much more attention this time than before.

The incessant sound of photographs proved everyone's enthusiasm.

Zhu Jin quickened his pace and entered the corridor. After only two steps, he met Huo Anan who had arrived earlier.

This time, Huo Anan didn't come forward to say anything, but looked at her coldly, and then bumped her shoulder into Zhu Jin's shoulder as they passed by.

Zhu Jin staggered and almost fell down.

Huo Anan left in a hurry without even a word of apology.

Zhu Jin frowned and felt speechless looking at the other person's back.

Rubbing his sore shoulders, Zhu Jin slowly stood up.

She had seen the public opinion offensive in recent days when she occasionally scanned the hot search list.

As many people promoted Huo Anan’s character as a genius girl in the beginning, as many people are now mocking and questioning her.

Zhu Jin, who is also a contestant of the Huo Group, was relatively unknown and young, but he was able to win the preliminary round, taking first place and leaving the second place far behind in terms of score.

And Huo Anan, who was touted and praised as a genius girl, is now far inferior to others.

In contrast, public opinion on the Internet naturally changed direction suddenly.

The words of praise instantly turned into ridicule and questioning.

Zhu Jin was worried about Huo Anan before. After all, such public opinion is not friendly to people and may even affect her mood for participating in the competition.

However, Huo Jingcheng explained to her what Huo Anan had originally done, which made Zhu Jin's sympathy for her disappear completely. She could only say that Huo Anan deserved it.

And today she even bumped into him on purpose, so Zhu Jin felt even less sympathy for her.

"Oh, dear Miss Zhu, are you okay?"

A bony hand stretched out from the side, holding a white tissue, "You got something rubbed against you, wipe it off."

Zhu Jin took a half step back and shook his head to refuse the other party's tissue, "No, I brought my own."

As she spoke, she took out a small round mirror and tissue from her bag and wiped off the lipstick stain from the corners of her mouth.

Zhu Jin nodded and smiled at Harris, "Thank you for your reminder."

Harris threw the tissue into a nearby trash can. "Ms. Zhu, you are too polite. I just reminded you casually. However, I still want to congratulate Miss Zhu for winning first place in this preliminary round."

"Thank you." Zhu Jin said politely.

She quickened her pace through the corridor, but Harris followed her slowly.

"Miss Zhu, I have seen your previous designs. They are very spiritual and have your own ideas. I believe your design this time will be the same. Your design is like a fairy from heaven, and it is hard to forget once you have seen it."

Harris's exaggerated praise attracted many passing contestants.

Zhu Jin's beautiful face with oriental features makes her recognizable to many people at first glance. She is the youngest Chinese contestant in this competition and won first place in the preliminary round.

"Your praise is too exaggerated." Zhu Jin said, "Many contestants' designs are better than mine. Maybe my design just suits your taste and you just like it."

Harris raised his thin eyebrows.

Zhu Jin smiled and interrupted him, "Sorry, Mr. Harris, I have something else to do today, and I don't want to focus too much on the last game. I believe you should also hope to have excellent results in the next game, right?"

Harris touched the tip of his nose and spread his hands. "Okay, Miss Zhu is right. We should focus on the next game. Then I would like to wish Miss Zhu good results."

"Thank you." Zhu Jin smiled and nodded, then quickly walked into the competition venue.

This time, everyone entering the venue will draw their own exam seat from the box at the door.

Zhu Jin was followed by Harris. Although they entered the venue one after the other, the positions they drew were poles apart and far apart.

"Oh, dear Miss Zhu, what a coincidence. I thought I could travel with you for a short time." Harris winked playfully.

Zhu Jin glanced at the position on the other party's note and said, "I wish you good luck in the competition."

After saying that, Zhu Jin smiled and nodded politely, then turned around and sat down in his seat.

The mechanism of the semi-final is the same as that of the preliminary round. It also tests the design skills of the design draft, but it is not a proposition competition, but the design is based on the client's video.

Moreover, the duration of this competition was longer than the previous one, from ten hours to twelve hours.

This time, the distance between every two people at the venue was arranged farther than last time, after all, a large number of contestants had been eliminated.

On the stage, the host was wearing a black suit with a red rose pinned to his chest.

"Good morning, everyone," the host said. "You are all able to sit here today because of your luck and strength, and you have passed the first round of tests. So today, you will face the second round of tests."

After that, the host paused for a moment, looked around the venue, and then said, "Those who have participated before are familiar with the process of the semi-finals. I will give a simple explanation to those who have not participated. In the semi-finals, we will not tell you the theme you have to design. Instead, we will use a video of the client to let everyone choose the concept and content of the design."

"As for the specific reasons, let's ask Teacher Yang Anran to explain it to everyone briefly."

Yang Anran stood up from the judges' seat and took the microphone handed to her.

"Everyone here is a designer in the company, and I believe you all know one thing. Oftentimes, our clients do not clearly tell us the design concept, but will generally tell us who they want to give it to, what they hope will be included, or what kind of design the person likes."

"In this case, what we need to do is to organize and summarize the client's ideas and design a work that meets the client's wishes. This is very difficult. After all, everyone has their own Hamlet in their hearts, and we can only try our best to understand the client's meaning."

Yang Anran's voice was clear, and she added at the end, "I hope everyone can design something that satisfies their needs this time."
