Chapter 507: Judge 3

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Hearing Ye Li e s words, Ye Lengan laughed as if having heard some joke. This is truly the most hilarious joke Ive heard in my life. Mr. Ye, I believe you havent grasped something vital. This compet.i.tion was organized by our Neo Fas.h.i.+on Company. Now, with Neo Fas.h.i.+on acknowledging my qualifications to judge, by what right do you question our decision? Or do you feel capable of deciding things for our company instead?

Everyone else lacks objections, so why are you so opinionated? Ye Lengan interjected bluntly. If having me on the panel strikes you as unfair, feel free to withdraw from the compet.i.tion.

What? For an instant, Ye Li appeared caught between a rock and a hard place.

In any case, Im judging and no other has qualms but you, so why dont you simply quit to resolve things? Ye Lengan quirked a brow, continuing, Or does withdrawing me as judge require catering to your perspective? If so, as soon as the first place is decided, anyone feeling unjustly defeated can step forth and proclaim it due to biased judging. Shall we hold the contest anew then?

Rendered without reb.u.t.tal, Ye Li also sensed his present situation rather precarious, truly stuck between Scylla and Charybdis now.

Quitting the compet.i.tion was out of the question. He dared to say that if he withdrew, negative news about the Ye family would undoubtedly spread like wildfire tomorrow. However, in the current situation, he couldnt step down either.

Sorry, my father simply cares too deeply for this compet.i.tion, thus raising such reasonable doubts, Ye Xiyuan stood explaining to the crowd with a bow. He held no intention of targeting anyone specifically, merely wis.h.i.+ng to ensure fairness here. After all, weve undertaken ample preparations for today.

Her statements instantly warmed public opinion towards Ye Li and their family again. Truthfully seeing Ye Lengan earlier had birthed some confusion in their own minds, but learning she was a Neo Fas.h.i.+on executive theyd held tongues.

Im not interested in your thought, Ye Lengan went on. My presence as judge naturally stems from my own reasons. My attendance was by Neo Fas.h.i.+ons decision any with questions may abstain from competing, others included.

As she spoke Ye Lengan glanced about. All averted their gaze, not one wis.h.i.+ng to withdraw from this long-awaited opportunity.

Whod give up partners.h.i.+p prospects with the prestigious Neo Fas.h.i.+on over something so trivial? Moreover, the a.s.sembly of all these fas.h.i.+on luminaries as judges demonstrated Neo Fas.h.i.+ons clout.

This chance at collaboration was what they had been hoping for now fortuitously obtained, who would relinquish it? No matter the judge, even a child failed to faze them.

Because Neo Fas.h.i.+on organized this, the choice of judges fell beyond their contestant scope. Thankfully none had been foolish enough to openly challenge the companys decision, otherwise, public humiliation would have been theirs today.

Inwardly fuming, Ye Li sat in taciturn dissatisfaction. Still, his concerns remained. Xiyuan, do you think Ye Lengan might sabotage you?

This worried him most given the discordant relations between them, especially with Xiyuan, wasnt her judging tantamount to securing Xiyuans defeat?

Dont overthink, Father, Ye Xiyuan breathed deeply before responding. Though Ive no clue why Neo Fas.h.i.+on appointed Ye Lengan judge, the deed is done and cant be undone now. Moreover, you must have faith in me. If my work proves outstanding enough, Ye Lengan or not, my victory shall be certain. Even if she aims to undermine me she wouldnt dare act overtly that would only incite resentment..
