Chapter 238 Absolutely Number One
Chen Yang was startled when he heard Su Ya speak, his heart skipping a beat.
He suddenly realized that he had only focused on winning the competition today and had forgotten to conceal his guqin skills.
His guqin playing would surely arouse Su Ya's suspicion about his identity, and how would he explain it then?
If Su Ya guessed his identity as the Celestial Doctor Hall's Medical Venerable, how would Liu Ran view him afterward?
As Chen Yang was feeling nervous, Su Ya began to laugh triumphantly.
She walked over to Chen Yang, grabbed his shoulder, and then turned to Liu Ran, saying, "Liu Ran, this fellow Chen Yang has definitely hidden his identity. He's certainly not a delivery man, nor is he an heir."
"This guy must be a young master from some prominent family, hiding his identity to approach you and pursue you."
"I suspect he's an illegitimate son of some influential figure from the Chen family in our China!"
"The Chen family in China is one of the four great families. Only an illegitimate son from their family could have cultivated Chen Yang to be so extraordinarily skilled."
"Moreover, Chen Yang's usual demeanor is not at all like that of someone from the lower strata. Hahaha, I've exposed you, haven't I?"
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Su Ya's nonsensical accusations. He said speechlessly, "Exposed what? You're the illegitimate one, and your whole family are illegitimate daughters. But you're right about me being from a prominent family."
"Liu Ran also knows that our family was indeed quite powerful before. My musical talents were cultivated from a very young age."
"And Liu Ran even saved me! What's so good about so-called prominent families? One wrong move and you could lose your life."
Liu Ran nodded upon hearing this and said, "Yes, Senior Su Ya, Chen Yang's family background was indeed not simple! But Chen Yang, I truly didn't expect you to still be playing the guqin after learning it in your childhood!"
"You were married to Liu Xin for a whole year, and if you had shown even a little bit of your guqin skill, I don't think Cousin Liu Xin would have looked down on you so much and been so eager to divorce you."
Chen Yang rolled his eyes and said, "Can we stop bringing this up? I don't want to continue living with Liu Xin."
Liu Ran's eyebrows curved, and she covered her mouth with her hand, chuckling softly.
At this moment, Madam Liu and Liu Xuhui stood at the front of the stadium with grim expressions.
Neither Madam Liu nor Yang Long had expected Liu Ran and the others to complete a fashion show and walk without models and a sound system.
More importantly, they hadn't expected Chen Yang, that scoundrel, to play the guqin so beautifully.
Liu Xin gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "That insidious dog, Chen Yang. I was married to him for a year, and he never played the guqin in front of me. I never knew he could play so well."
Yang Long turned his head upon hearing this, frowned, and said to Liu Xin, "What? Are you regretting it? Do you regret divorcing him because he plays the guqin well?"
Liu Xin quickly reached out and hugged Yang Long's arm, smiling and saying, "Brother Long, what are you saying? How could I regret it?"
"The only thing I regret is listening to Grandpa and marrying that good-for-nothing. I don't regret anything else."
"However, the guqin skills that useless Chen Yang displayed this time were indeed astonishing."
"Moreover, Liu Ran and Su Ya are both quite beautiful. When they walked in Hanfu, their Hanfu seemed even more expressive."
"Judging by the atmosphere in the stadium, they will likely win first place in the competition."
Yang Long's face darkened, and he let out a cold snort, not replying further.
Liu Xuhui, standing beside them, stamped his foot in anger, unable to accept the outcome.
He couldn't comprehend how Chen Yang and Liu Ran could make such a comeback and complete this fashion show.
Originally, his New Trend Brand company was supposed to be first or second place. Now that their company had suddenly emerged, first place was completely out of the question.
Everyone in the entire stadium was still discussing the clothing display by Chen Yang's company.
The last two fashion displays were so uninteresting that no one paid any attention to the clothing brands of the final two companies.
Finally, after the last two clothing factories finished showcasing their clothes, the big screen began to replay the highlights of all twenty clothing factories.
Then, everyone used their scoring devices to cast their votes, while the judges at the judging panel also began to give scores to each clothing factory.
At this moment, everyone only remembered the perfect expressiveness of "Yang Yang Yang" Qianyi Clothing Company.
Three minutes later, the scoring results appeared. Regardless of audience scores or judge scores, Yang Yang Yang Clothing Company ranked at the top.
Converted to a total score of 100, the "Yang Yang Yang" brand company obtained 99.2 points, while the second-place Red Sun Clothing Company only had 89.5 points.
The second place was a whole gap from the first place. The entire stadium erupted in applause and cheers upon seeing that "Yang Yang Yang" Clothing Company had truly secured first place.
Simultaneously, the scores of other clothing factories were also revealed. Red Sun Clothing Factory, in second place, scored over 89 points, New Trend Clothing Factory, in third place, scored 88, and Taihu Clothing Factory, in fourth place, scored 87.
The scores of the remaining clothing companies were mostly between 80 and 85 points. Although there were differences, they were not significant.
Only Yang Yang Yang Qianyi Clothing Company stood at the pinnacle, achieving a dazzling 99.2 points.
The host walked to the center of the stage, holding the scoring placard, and smiled, "Distinguished audience, the joint fashion competition of the six cities of Jiangnan is nearing its end, and the scoring results for each clothing company have now been released."
"Next, we will invite the representatives of the top three companies to come to the center stage to receive our trophies and gifts."
The audience in the stadium waved their arms, cheering enthusiastically.
On the sidelines, Liu Xin smiled and said, "Oh well! Although that slut Liu Ran got first place, Husband, Brother, you both did great, taking second and third place."
"I must say, we are also the biggest winners tonight! Brother Long, not only did your Red Sun Clothing Company take second place, but your investment in New Trend Clothing Company also secured third place. Your Yang family must highly regard you now."
Yang Long's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, and he nodded, saying, "That's true. Taking second and third place in this competition is quite good."
Liu Xuhui stood to the side, gritting his teeth and saying fiercely, "Hmph, if only it were a little bit closer, I could have completely crushed Liu Ran's damned company into the dirt."
"Now that they've taken first place, I'm really unhappy. However, they won't be able to gloat for long."
"In a while, I'll spend money to hire a group of designers and specifically plagiarize their clothing designs. I will definitely bring down their clothing factory completely."
Just as Liu Xuhui and Yang Long were about to go on stage.
At this moment, the renowned designer Han Wenqing stepped onto the center stage first and took the microphone from the host.
