Some cheered for Jiang Xue Zi as well because they felt that she was a hidden star, just like Lu Jin Sheng.
"Jiang Xue Zi!"
"Designer Jiang!"
Supporters and fans of Ning Hua were disappointed when they saw the results because they expected that Ning Hua would win in the finals, and yet his score was the lowest. Despite that, they still tried their best to smile and cheer for Ning Hua.
"Ning Hua! Don't give up!"
"Keep going! There are other segments!"
"Designer Ning! Fighting!"
Lu Jin Sheng was very stunned by the scores as well because he didn't expect to get such a high mark when the judges said that they would deduct marks for not showing the king's outfit. He was even more shocked that his score was the highest among the three partic.i.p.ants.
Jiang Xue Zi congratulated Lu Jin Sheng for obtaining such high marks and complimented his work. He, too, congratulated Jiang Xue Zi for achieving the second place and that he genuinely admire her creativity for the male outfits.
Both Lu Jin Sheng and Jiang Xue Zi truly meant their words because they admire each other's work from the bottom of their hearts. Both of them produced works that could only have came about when one put in their hearts and souls into it.
Meanwhile, when Ning Hua saw the scores, he started to shout again.
"That cannot be!"
"You can't give him such high marks!"
"He stole my model!"
"This isn't fair!"
"If he didn't steal my model, he wouldn't have received such high marks, and my marks wouldn't be so low!"
"How can a lady get higher marks than me?!"
"It can't be!"
Ning Hua's fans were stunned by his words because they didn't expect that the kind and gentle Ning Hua would have such a nasty side and speak those harsh words.
Rosanne picked up the microphone and spoke in annoyance, "Please get this right. We gave you marks based on how your fiancée, Model Wen, would look like. It doesn't matter whether or not your model is now modeling for another designer. Your marks would not be different even if Model Wen did not go to the other team. Even if your marks were to improve if Model Wen wears it, it would not have much difference because the score is an average of the five designs that you had used. Meaning to say, one or a few of the other four designs could have fared poorly compared to the others. That is why your score is so low compared to the other two designers."
Mo Xi picked up the microphone and spoke calmly, "I said this earlier on. Wait for the final results to come out before you all deal with whatever issues you all have with one another. Don't let your att.i.tude, behavior, and words affect the compet.i.tion. If you do, I suggest that you don't take part in any more compet.i.tion in the future. This is very unprofessional, and you just make yourself look like a sore loser."
Ning Hua felt his face burning with embarra.s.sment, but he still couldn't contain his anger, "But whatever that I want to say would affect the results! It is crucial! If you all don't hear of it, you all will regret it!"
"If whatever you said would affect the results, then all the more you have to wait till the compet.i.tion has ended. That way, we can then judge meaningfully and decide whether or not to hold this compet.i.tion again. You don't have to worry that you would be treated unjustly or wrongly. Should this compet.i.tion be unfair in any way, we would hold this compet.i.tion again so that we can bring back justice for the victims."
"But…"
"No buts. Let me make it clear. If I hear any more noise from you, I will eliminate your partic.i.p.ation rights. I don't joke about this kind of thing, and I am sure that the other judges would agree because you and your team have been a nuisance. You guys have been causing a lot of trouble and making a lot of noise."
"Honestly, it would be a disgrace for the country to send you overseas for the compet.i.tion if you guys behave this way. Hence, we would rather send people who could behave properly no matter what kind of circ.u.mstances they are in instead of just someone who won the compet.i.tion."
The other judges nodded along with Mo Xi as they felt that what she had said was very true. They would rather send someone who lost the National Fas.h.i.+on Designing Compet.i.tion to the International Fas.h.i.+on Compet.i.tion than to send winners that couldn't behave properly.
With that, the guards held onto Ning Hua tightly once again, and he was forced to keep quiet for now because he didn't want his partic.i.p.ation rights to be removed.
The onsite and online voting started immediately after Ning Hua was forced to keep quiet. The audience and netizens voted for their favorite designs while the a.s.sistants keep track of the votings.
Ning Hua's words made some people think twice before they voted, and the results seemed to be swaying towards Ning Hua's team more at the start.
The votes for each team was shown on the projector as live voting was conducted. Each team had two separate bars. One represents the onsite voting, and the other represents the online voting.
The votes for each team rose extremely slowly as people were thinking about whether or not to believe Ning Hua's and Luo Bing Bing's words.
Then, gradually, the votes for Ning Hua's team started to rise steadily and almost became on par with Lu Jin Sheng's team and then took over Lu Jin Sheng's team.
"Aren't you worried?" Yan Chu whispered to Mo Xi.
Mo Xi looked at Yan Chu and raised her eyebrows, "Why should I?"
"Looking at the votes, it seems like your brother might lose to Ning Hua."
"My brother won't lose. Don't worry. Have you forgotten what I told the audience just now?"
