So the request for this competition is reasonable.

Check in on the day of the competition, then find your own spot and place your products on the table.

Designers and tasters from all over the world come to see each of them, and the product designer needs to explain the product when the jury arrives.

If the judges have a good impression of the product at this stage, then you will be left with a passing card.

Cards go straight to the finals.

After entering the finals, there is a break for dinner, and the finals are in the afternoon, and the finals require the designer to bring the product to the stage to give a speech again. In the finals with only ten people, the top three champions and runners-up were selected, and there were seven other foils.

Shen Qiang lowered her eyes, she had enough confidence in the products she designed this time. However, the aesthetics of foreigners are different from those of domestic people, and she is afraid that they do not know how to appreciate oriental art. The diamond product she designed with oriental elements could not be made into either the top three or the finals.

Shen Qiang arrived in Belgium with a nervous mood. It was three o'clock in the afternoon in Belgium when I landed.

The venue of the competition is located in Brussels, Belgium, a city full of chocolate. Half Dutch and half French, Shen Qiang got off the plane and went straight to the hotel she had booked.

It was colder than she had imagined, and she was wearing only a trench coat that was not enough to protect her from the cold wind. She opened her suitcase, and fortunately she brought a cashmere long jacket for the worst, she didn't plan to stay in Belgium for long, and she would go back after the race, so she only brought two changes of clothes and disposable underwear.

Almost as soon as she closed the suitcase, Shen Qiang received a message from Song Boli.

Song Boli: [Did you land safely? 】

Shen Qiang: [It's time to the hotel.] 】

Song Boli: [Come on tomorrow, I'll wait for you to win the championship and go home.] 】

Shen Qiang: [Good]

She extinguished her phone, and finally recognized the reality that Song Boli did not come. But everyone has their own life, and she can't pin her expectations on others, even the people around her, so she will be tired, and he will be tired.

Shen Qiang adjusted her thoughts, and after talking to Yu Jian, she took out the competition products and carefully observed them, and after making sure that there were no flaws, she ordered dinner, and went to bed after eating.

-

At eight o'clock the next day, Shen Qiang arrived at the exhibition hall of the competition on time.

Everything here is European-style, classical and elegant, and she wants to wait for JunHe to stabilize and then come to Belgium to have a good time. Shen Qiang retracted her thoughts, carried the safe through the security check, and then walked to the sign-in desk.

Sign-in is to confirm whether all the people who have signed up for the competition have arrived, Shen Qiang found her name Irene (Shen Qiang/JunHe), signed her name in the back form, and walked inside with the safe.

Diamonds are expensive, so security checks are set up everywhere.

As soon as you enter the infield, the interior is not extravagant, with a huge blue screen that reads HRD Belgium International Diamond Jewelry Design Competition, and below is a line of fonts of the same size: HRD Belgium International Diamond Jewelry Design Competition, and then a row of judges' seats under the stage, followed by everyone's exclusive seats and tables.

Each table has a dedicated bezel, and each table is also widely spaced and has a full range of cameras on it. The degree of safety of each product is ensured.

Shen Qiang found Irene's name tag, then opened the safe and took out the product.

Half an hour later, the gate closes, signaling the start of the game.

The organizers introduced the jury and handicraft connoisseurs one by one, all of whom are well-known figures in the industry, this kind of competition will definitely not be mixed with water, and the organizers do not allow their signboards to be damaged, so the results are announced on the day of the competition, if you lose this game, Shen Qiang is also convinced.

Soon the jury and the handicraft connoisseurs went down together, looking at the products one by one, there were about one hundred and twenty people here, and only ten of them were screened out to enter the finals, Shen Qiang was a little nervous, her eyes started from the jury, and she never left them, but there were about thirty people in front of her, but none of them got the pass vote of the jury.

The more this happened, the more nervous she became, after all, she couldn't figure out the jury's preferences, if one of the thirty people could pass, then she could see what they liked and what her chances of winning were. But there is also a benefit to not being able to pass, she still has a lot of opportunities.

The jury and the craft connoisseurs arrived at Shen Qiang's table, and their footsteps stopped. Shen Qiang said hello without changing her face, and then turned the product in her hand, there was just an incandescent lamp on her head, which was what she had just observed, where there was a lamp, it would greatly bless the sparkle of the diamond, which was an advantage for her to find in her favor.

The product turned in her hand, the light was dazzling, the jury and the handicraft connoisseurs all stopped and looked at Shen Qiang, Shen Qiang smiled slightly, and said in fluent English that she learned when she was studying abroad: "Teachers, this is the product I designed, Dragon Sniffing Rose." ”

A rose, a lifelike dragon is attached to the flower branch, especially the dragon's eyes, decorated with two black diamonds, the dragon body is up, the dragon head is down, overlooking the blooming roses, both surging, and gentle, the dragon sniffs the roses.

The jury and the craftsmen are all veterans of the industry, and you can feel the beauty of the design and craftsmanship of this product at a glance without looking closely at this level of finesse, and it is indeed very attractive to use dragons and roses to match.

In English, the jury said, "Your design is good, but why do you use dragons and roses?" ”

Shen Qiang was polite and polite: "Because the dragon is the representative of our Orientals, the rose is my favorite flower." I combine big love and small love, and there is a dragon and a rose. ”

The handicraft connoisseur did not ask as many questions as the jury, but picked up Shen Qiang's product with gloves and examined it carefully under the incandescent lamp, then smiled and said, "perfect, I like it." ”

The jury consisted of seven people, including two connoisseurs. Several people glanced at each other, and the assistant handed the pass ticket to Shen Qiang. This was the first person in the audience to get a passing ticket, which immediately caused a lot of sensation in the field.

Including Shen Qiang, when she looked at the pass ticket next to the dragon sniffing rose, the blood in her whole body seemed to be coagulated, and she said the word thank you mechanically, and in those eyes, there was uncontrollable joy.

Out of one hundred and twenty people, just ten votes were used up.

Choose three out of ten people, Shen Qiang exhaled lightly, she said it yesterday, either she will be out at the beginning, or she will be in the top three. She began to pray for the afternoon session, which was not like the morning session was completely closed, but in order to ensure fairness, justice and openness, the afternoon session was all transparent, and the eliminated contestants in the morning could even sit in the audience and watch the comparison between the top ten contestants.

When each contestant goes up, the seven jury members can vote or choose not to vote. But two connoisseurs of crafts have only two votes, and they have one vote to decide on the product that is considered to be the most sophisticated, aesthetic and design among the ten products.

If two handicraft connoisseurs voted on two different products, then the total number of votes of the jury will be added, and the judges will look at the beauty and the craftsmanship will be the winner.

At the beginning of the finals, the seats were full, and the ten players held their own safes and placed them on their knees. It was very windy outside, and passers-by were leisurely passing by the roadside with hot coffee and scarves.

Shen Qiang's gaze retracted from the floor-to-ceiling window, and she focused on the game.

The first contestant went up and received two votes for the judges.

The second player received three votes.

The third contestant was the most challenging for Shen Qiang, who received five votes for judging and one for craftsmanship.

Shen Qiang was coincidental and came back in line, and the others all ended up with three or four votes. After one lap, the number three was her fierce rival. The seven juries, with their different preferences and visions, thought it was okay when they gave the passing votes, but when it came to the real competition, their eyes were more critical than anyone else's.

Shen Qiang calculated, the craft connoisseur still has one vote, and she must get six judging votes and one craft vote to win and win the championship. Otherwise, settle for second and third place.

When it was Shen Qiang's turn to appear, she walked to the middle of the stage with the box, opened the box in front of the huge screen, and took out the Dragon Sniffing Rose, inside the screen, the products of the Dragon Sniffing Rose were displayed, and the audience suddenly erupted in exclamation.

In the morning, everyone couldn't see each other's products, only the judges and tasters, so this was the first time that the Dragon Sniffing Rose was facing the public, and the audience was full of designers, and it was like giving a breath to the nervous Shen Qiang.

She took a deep breath and placed the Dragon's Sniffer Rose under the camera, showing off the details.

After this process, the judges asked, and the first judge said, "Why did you design this product?" ”

"I have my own custom enterprise in China, the company is called JunHe, we focus on oriental art, everyone knows more about our oriental products is from blue and white porcelain, gold, jade, jade, think we can not create perfect diamond products, so I want to use diamonds with exclusive oriental characteristics of jewelry to the world."

The other judges asked many questions, and Shen Qiang answered them seriously. The handicraft connoisseur asked Shen Qiang again about the craftsmanship and precision of the jewelry, and Shen Qiang explained.

She replied with neither humility nor arrogance, and seemed to be fully prepared, this was her confident and excellent side, she could stand alone, and she could overcome all the difficulties that she had previously thought were impossible to overcome.

The jury passed by seven votes, the taster voted one, a total of eight votes, an unprecedented number of votes, this black-haired girl from the East, with a dragon exclusive to the representatives of the Orientals, with her big love and small love, won the championship.

The moderator said, "Congratulations to Miss Irene, congratulations to Miss Shen from China. Dragon Sniffing Rose, won the championship of HRD Belgium International Diamond Jewelry Design Competition. ”

Shen Qiang has never been like now, when she won the IR design championship, she only felt that the challenge was impossible. But it wasn't until she won the HRD Belgian International Diamond Jewelry Design Competition that she had a feeling of unreality and passion.

She didn't know who to share her joy with, and she burst into tears, not only as a personal honor, but also as a national honor. She walked to the world stage with oriental characteristics.

She held the championship, stood on the stage, and looked down.

Song Boli was dressed in a suit very formally, as if she had already decided that she would win the championship, holding a bouquet of roses, standing in the aisle with no vacant seats, and taking pictures of her with her mobile phone.

He was the first to share this honor with Zhuang Fangjie.

The second one was shared with the people of the Song family.

This is the pride of his sister.

Shen Qiang's palm-sized little face, his eyes trembled, he still came!

A smile instantly spread across her face, and when the award was over, she walked off the stage.

Song Boli handed the flower to Shen Qiang.

Shen Qiang took it, a little pleased, and said, "Why are you here?" Didn't you say no? ”

"Qiang, I've always been in Belgium." Song Boli chuckled, "But please forgive me, I didn't show up because I wanted you to know that even if you didn't have me by your side, you could stand alone." But if you're scared, feel free to turn around, I've never gone far behind you. ”

He told her to move forward and be brave enough to be herself.

But he told her that if she was scared, she would turn back, and that he would always be behind her.

The author has something to say:

The first 30 red envelopes.

Tomorrow is a foreign honeymoon, so hehehe......

Qiang Qiang has really worked hard step by step.

Slowly realized the incompleteness of society and the sinister nature of people's hearts, but fortunately succeeded.

Song Boli didn't show up because Shen Qiang was a little afraid of going abroad, and he wanted Shen Qiang to know that even if she was alone, she could overcome obstacles in a foreign country and get her own honor. Good love is that I am behind you, you go forward, and if you are afraid, you can turn back at any time.

Chapter 65 Chapter 65

◎ "Why are you going not to let me go?" ”◎

Shen Qiang lowered her head and sniffed the rose in her arms, and looked up, Song Boli was in a suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, tall and long legs, walking in front, holding a dragon sniffing rose in her hand, and the championship trophy of the HRD Design Competition.

Shen Qiang stepped forward two quickly, walked beside him, like a question and a simple chat, and said, "Where are the roses still sold in Belgium?" Aren't they all cuckoos, moon seasons, and poppies? ”

Song Boli's car was parked in the parking area on the side of the road, he put the trophy and products in the back row, and only after ensuring safety did he turn around and answer Shen Qiang, saying, "This is what I brought from China." Fly by private jet. ”

The Belgian cold wind blew, the wind was raging, the hem of his long suit jacket was swinging, in order to celebrate her victory, he wore a tie, and at the moment the wind was blowing, he pressed the flying tie with one hand, and opened the car door for her with the other hand, tilted his head, and said, "Get in the car, Miss Irene, the champion of HRD." ”

He called her Miss Irene, and Shen Qiang was a little embarrassed, and she said, "Where are we going?" With that, she got into the passenger seat, and the car had a foreign license plate, and he even had a private jet, and it wasn't uncommon for Belgium to have a local car.

Song Boli sat in the driver's seat, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and said: "When you come to Belgium, of course, you have to take a good look at the local characteristics in order to make this trip worthwhile." ”

Shen Qiang held the rose in her arms, turned her head to look at Song Boli, and said, "But I'm out to compete, I still need to go back to the store, I told Yu Jian that I will only come for one day." ”

"You're the HRD champion, isn't it too much for a champion to enjoy two days off?" Song Boli looked at Shen Qiang sideways, and saw that she was in a hurry to explain why she had to hurry back to China, he chuckled, stopped teasing her, and said truthfully: "I have already helped you communicate with Yu Jian, and he said that he hopes you have a good journey and relax." ”

Shen Qiang was surprised? sounded.

Song Boli chuckled, handed his mobile phone to Shen Qiang, and said, "You can click on the record to take a look." ”

Shen Qiang opened WeChat, and at a glance saw that she was Song Boli's top, and she pressed the corners of her mouth. Looking down, it was Yu Jian's chat box.

She opened it, and the last sentence was a voice sent by Yu Jian, a short five seconds, and he said: "Song Dong, tell Boss Shen for me, have a good trip, relax." ”

She glanced up at the entire chat box. The last sentence of the voice was Song Boli who said in words: "Don't tell her when I go to Belgium. I hope my presence will surprise her. 】

He added Yu Jian and told him that he was coming to her.

When was this the matter, "When did you look for Yu Jian, he knew you were coming to me—"

"These don't really matter." Song Boli chuckled. Eyes looked gently ahead, "Anyway, do you believe it?" ”

Forget it, I don't want to dwell on that.
