Chapter 234 The Models Disappeared
Chen Yang glanced at Professor Han Wenqing, who was kneeling on the ground, and knew he could be saved. He said, "Do you believe it now?"
"The Hanfu design draft in your hand is just one stolen from these numerous Hanfu designs."
"And it's a relatively ordinary one."
Han Wenqing nodded, his voice trembling with emotion, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong, and I will publicly apologize to everyone."
Chen Yang patted Han Wenqing on the shoulder and said, "Alright, I'll give you the chance to apologize then."
Chen Yang put away the design draft.
At this moment, Han Wenqing suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Yang's arm, opening his mouth and saying, "Can I see the designer? I have something I want to ask of her."
Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "There will be an opportunity, but not now."
Han Wenqing nodded, "Thank you, thank you so much!"
Chen Yang turned and left the room. Outside the room, two guards sat on stools, asleep.
After Chen Yang left.
The two of them yawned and woke up.
They looked at each other, a little confused, not knowing why they had suddenly fallen asleep.
However, they didn't pay much attention, thinking it was because they had played games too late last night and had suddenly fallen into a sweet dream.
The competition was still ongoing.
But the manufacturers who came out next, despite their excellent works, still lacked a certain breathtaking quality compared to those from Red Sun and New Trend.
The works from Red Sun and New Trend were indeed stunning, and their early appearance had a visual impact on the audience, making it difficult for subsequent manufacturers to achieve a refreshing level.
Later on, many in the audience could not help but yawn and rub their stomachs.
The prolonged duration had led to aesthetic fatigue and mental exhaustion.
"Oh my! We're already at booth seventeen. It looks like it's going to end soon."
"Yes, yes, we've finally made it to the end. The quality of this fashion design competition is quite high."
"In my opinion, the results should have been announced by now. The first place is likely to be Professor Han's New Trend Fashion Design Company."
"No, no, I think Red Sun Design Company is more likely to be first."
"The Hanfu from New Trend is indeed stunning, but the ten Hanfu designs they presented look different. It might just be variations of a template, so it might be difficult to win first place."
The audience members were murmuring softly.
At this time, the performance of booth seventeen's clothing factory was nearing its end.
Next, it was booth eighteen's turn.
Inside booth eighteen's changing room, Liu Ran took a deep breath. She turned to everyone in the changing room and said, "Alright, everyone, get ready to change. It's our turn to go on stage. Let's do our final preparations and adjustments, and then let's astound everyone!"
Su Ya and Zheng Yanqiu both smiled.
The models also immediately stood up, exchanged glances, and then a few models said, "Okay, let's get our spirits up. We'll go to the restroom first."
Several models walked towards the restroom around the corner, while the rest of the sound engineers and models nodded. They all left booth eighteen's changing room and headed towards the nearby restroom.
Liu Ran shouted to them, "Hurry up, everyone!"
Soon, only Liu Ran, Su Ya, and Zheng Yanqiu were left in booth eighteen's lounge.
Zheng Yanqiu touched the ten sets of Hanfu neatly arranged by the table, took a deep breath, and said excitedly to Liu Ran, "Ms. Liu, thank you."
"Regardless of the outcome of this competition, I believe our Qianyi Garment Factory will definitely receive orders, and our garment factory will definitely be revived."
Liu Ran smiled and nodded at Zheng Yanqiu, "Don't worry, Boss Zheng, there's no need to be nervous."
"Firstly, our works are indeed outstanding. Secondly, our fabric will astound everyone under the lights. As long as our models don't make any mistakes, our work will definitely be number one."
The three women encouraged each other and laughed.
After waiting in booth eighteen's changing room for two minutes, Liu Ran frowned slightly. She said, "What's going on? Why are those models taking so long to use the restroom?"
Su Ya also became anxious and muttered, "Could they be collectively having diarrhea due to nervousness before going on stage?"
Zheng Yanqiu laughed and shook her head, "That's impossible. Even though they're not professionals, they're all experienced veterans who have participated in competitions before!"
"They participate in Hanfu competitions all over the country, so they won't be too nervous. I'll go to the restroom to hurry them."
Zheng Yanqiu said as she walked quickly towards the restroom around the corner.
However, when she reached the restroom, she found it empty. Not a single person was there.
Zheng Yanqiu was stunned for a moment, then she rushed out.
She checked the other restrooms as well.
There was no one in them either.
Zheng Yanqiu started to panic. As she walked back towards booth eighteen's changing room, she took out her phone and dialed the number of the person in charge of the model team.
However, the phone kept ringing, but no one answered.
After Zheng Yanqiu hung up after a minute, she dialed again. This time, the other party had actually blocked her number.
The call showed that the other party was out of service area.
Zheng Yanqiu was completely flustered this time. She rushed into booth eighteen's changing room and shouted to Liu Ran and Su Ya, "Miss Liu, Miss Su, it's bad. Those people... those people have all disappeared."
Su Ya's expression changed, and she quickly said, "What do you mean disappeared? Where are they?"
Zheng Yanqiu's face was pale, and she shook her head, "I don't know. They're not answering my calls, and now they've blocked my number."
"Ten models, three lighting and sound engineers, all thirteen people have suddenly vanished."
Liu Ran frowned and said, "How is this possible? What were all thirteen of them doing? Let's search quickly."
Su Ya shook her head at this moment, her brow furrowed. "No need to search. All thirteen of them are adults. Their sudden collective disappearance indicates that someone deliberately wants to ruin this competition."
Liu Ran and Zheng Yanqiu both turned to look at Su Ya in shock.
Su Ya gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't expect, I didn't expect a competitor to be so despicable."
"They bribed the model team, and at this critical juncture, they lured away all the members of the model team, including the sound engineers. This way, we won't be able to complete the upcoming work presentation."
"In a short period, we won't be able to find ten models to fill the gap, let alone professional models suitable for Hanfu."
"Clearly, there must be other clothing companies using this method to ensure our complete defeat."
