On the way to the hotel, the two of them were at a stalemate on the question of whether to go or not, and finally they could only take a step back.

I still have to go, but Zhou Chengyan has to go with him.

The two arrived in the afternoon and returned to the hotel for a short rest. Joey, who had slept well on the plane, suddenly felt inspiration, flipped out his design drawings and adjusted a few details.

In the eyes of the layman, the little modification she made is almost equal to nothing, but if you really know the design, you will find that the details of the modification make the whole design more perfect.

"It's almost done!" Qiao Ai looked at the design that was about to take shape, squinted her eyes and stretched out pleasantly.

When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Chengyan, who had a cup of hot tea, had already stood at the table, and he put the cup down in front of Qiao Ai, "You've been sitting for almost three hours, isn't it time to get up and move?" ”

Whether it's for the kids or Joe herself, sitting for a long time is bad.

Qiao Ai has now adapted to Zhou Chengyan's transformation, obediently took a sip of hot tea, and his stomach suddenly became ironed.

After drinking a cup of tea, she suddenly stood up suddenly, "By the way, I also promised Lu Shenxing to go to dinner in the evening, hurry up!" I thought Qiao Ai had forgotten about it, and tried to confuse Zhou Chengyan in the past: "......"

Out of the good habit of never being late, Qiao Ai took Zhou Chengyan all the way to hurry up, and finally arrived at the place within the agreed time.

After all three of them were seated, Qiao Ai said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot the time to fix the blueprints." ”

Regarding this "buy one get one free" situation, Lu Shenxing was obviously prepared, but he didn't show too much surprise. After all, he didn't clearly receive the "warning", but he still sent the invitation text message.

Lu Shenxing beckoned the two of them to sit down very friendly, raised his hand to beckon the waiter, and said with a smile: "It's okay, this trip is for the competition, of course, the design is more important." Let's see what you want to eat? ”

Qiao Ai actually doesn't like Western food very much, and after struggling with the menu for a while, he simply let Lu Shenxing, who is the east, take the lead and order.

He had obviously done his homework, and the dishes he ordered were very much to Qiao Ai's liking, and the two of them also talked a lot about design during the dinner, which was called a very happy conversation.

This scene somewhat made Zhou Chengyan feel depressed, and for Qiao Ai's sake, he still didn't say anything.

He has a way to get angry, and he doesn't have to rush it.

It had been an hour since the meal had been eaten, and it was getting late outside, and at some point the rain had enveloped the city and cast a hazy beauty over it.

Zhou Chengyan took the driver out, and Lu Shenxing didn't mention sending them back again, and after saying goodbye at the door of the restaurant, Qiao Ai went back to the hotel with Zhou Chengyan.

She originally wanted to go out for a walk, but it was still raining outside, so she simply went back and perfected the rest of the manuscript.

The Zhou family has a lot of affairs on weekdays, and Zhou Chengyan doesn't always have time to accompany Qiao Ai out, but unfortunately she spent more than a day preparing the manuscript, and before she knew it, it was the day of the competition.

The venue of the competition was not far from the hotel where they stayed, so Zhou Chengyan followed him.

When I arrived at the competition venue, there were already a lot of media reporters outside, and a girl who didn't look very old but had a bright appearance and even a very outstanding temperament was surrounded by a bunch of reporters. Search

The scene can actually be called a little chaotic, but the girl is very calm and calm, and she looks very confident in the game.

Qiao Ai didn't like to join in this kind of excitement, and just at this time, the staff of the arena came over, so she pulled Zhou Chengyan and followed him directly into the venue.

The venue is a small auditorium-like place where contestants are required to present their work and elaborate on the design concept in the order of the lottery, and finally the judges will judge the score.

Remove the highest score, then remove the lowest score, and rank the top three according to the score.

Qiao Ai looked around, and suddenly someone pinched her cheek.

Zhou Chengyan stood behind her and asked with a smile, "Are you nervous?" ”

Qiao Ai, who has always been strong, wanted to subconsciously deny it, but when he looked at the busy staff around him, as well as the few judges who were already seated in the front row, he still couldn't help but tell the truth, "Actually, it's a bit ......."

"Don't be nervous, in my heart, your design will always be the best." Zhou Chengyan is like a small mouth smeared with honey, and if he blows it, he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

The point is that Qiao Ai is really useful to this, and her heart is a little calmer.

This time, the competition was semi-public, and with the exception of some reporters who were allowed to come in and shoot in advance, there were either judges or invited industry insiders sitting in the audience.

Of course, family members like Zhou Chengyan are exceptions, and after Qiao Ai was asked to explain the pre-game process, he could only stay "alone" by himself.

In fact, leaving a seat was just a matter of saying hello to Zhou Chengyan, but since Qiao Ai didn't want to be too public, he went with her, and he casually found a seat in the back row and sat down.

In the background, the five players who entered the final finals finally had a collective meeting.

After a few people symbolically greeted each other and exchanged names, Qiao Ai learned the name of the girl she had just seen outside the venue———— Luo Jingjing.

Except for Lu Shenxing, who Qiao Ai also knew, the remaining two were blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, a tall man with long hair was named William, and the other was cold and tataciturn, but had a particularly sweet name called Cherry.

After chatting for a few words, the staff walked in with a lottery tube.

At first glance, the other party is a warm and cheerful local character, and his words are particularly humorous, "Come, a few of you can try your luck, although the order of appearance doesn't seem to be less important, of course, if you are good enough." ”

After the draw was completed, Lu Shenxing was unlucky and drew the first, while Qiao Ai was drawn to the penultimate place.

However, neither of them cared much about this, and quickly adjusted their state.

The introduction and elaboration of the work is the most time-consuming, and Lu Shenxing has always been easy at doing things, even on this occasion, he seems calm and calm, and easily completes the task.

The judges unanimously praised his work, and at the end one of the judges suddenly said, "Last question, why did you choose to participate in this competition?" ”

When most people encounter this kind of question, the basic answer is the general answer: for dreams.

Lu Shenxing thought seriously for a moment, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the waiting area of the players in the audience, and smiled meaningfully: "I am for a very important person, I hope to accompany her in this way." ”
