Seeing the situation at the venue, Meng Dandan laughed.
If Su Yingxue's qualification were revoked, she would have gotten her revenge.
They must be regretting it now. That foreign so-called master had criticized her, and Su Yingxue, though outwardly silent, was inwardly proud of her work and beauty.
Hmph, for even neglecting me, a renowned little superstar, and not giving me due attention, I'll make you pay!
She felt a sense of exhilaration, the joy of revenge!
Tang Ruolin smiled and said, "Dandan, today's fashion show is just the beginning. I'll have people draft numerous press releases and promote them across the internet. Your popularity will surge. Next, you'll shoot commercials, flood the market with your face, and then participate in variety shows!"
"Becoming famous again will be incredibly simple!"
Meng Dandan nodded proudly. Although these things would come at a price, as long as she regained her glory, the cost would be worth it.
Behind the stage, Su Yingxue finally tidied her clothes and emerged from the dressing room. Hearing the continuous shouts from outside, her face paled slightly.
"Don't be nervous, don't overthink it!" Chen Fan comforted her from behind. "Today, you are unrivaled."
"Hoo!"
Su Yingxue took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
She was no longer the person she once was. Although her heart was not yet invulnerable, she was no longer a fragile little woman.
The host on stage had been stalling for too long and was sweating profusely amidst the audience's clamor.
He also wanted to disqualify Su Yingxue and have the judges announce the results, but he had received instructions that the participating Su Yingxue had an unusual background and that time must be delayed to cooperate.
He was helpless!
Fortunately, at this moment, Su Yingxue finally arrived, making her entrance from the waiting area.
Relieved, the host ignored the audience's heckling and announced loudly, "Now, please welcome our model number ninety-eight, to present designer Su Yingxue's work, 'Nishang Liuyin' (Flowing Melodies of Glorious Robes)."
Su Yingxue strode gracefully onto the T-stage.
"Go for it!"
Chen Fan encouraged her.
"Su, you are the most beautiful tonight!" Lilith said.
Su Yingxue glanced back, then turned, head held high, telling herself not to be nervous. She rounded the screen at the edge of the stage and appeared in everyone's sight.
On the other side of the backstage, Meng Dandan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Su Yingxue actually had a backup outfit, and she was personally going on stage?
This was allowed?
Moreover, looking at the magnificent dress, its fitted semi-bridal design, adorned with dangling tassels and chains, perfectly complemented Su Yingxue's statuesque figure, making her appear ethereal.
Her pupils constricted.
She had initially thought that Master Bob was just trying to flatter Su Yingxue by belittling her. Now, seeing Su Yingxue wearing 'Nishang Liuyin,' she realized Bob hadn't lied.
Even with simple makeup, Su Yingxue was breathtakingly beautiful.
She looked down at her own outfit and felt somewhat overshadowed.
"Disqualify her!"
"Disqualify her..."
The audience below was still shouting, but with Su Yingxue's appearance, the volume immediately diminished.
Everyone appreciates and pursues beauty. Su Yingxue's outfit was too stunning, especially after a long, boring wait. Her appearance was like a beautiful landscape, instinctively drawing everyone's attention.
Under the spotlight, Su Yingxue's lips curved slightly, with a hint of shy smile. She looked straight ahead, her heart pounding like a frightened deer, yet she maintained her pace.
This magnificent outfit not only accentuated Su Yingxue's perfect figure but also imbued her with an aura of noble elegance and ethereal purity, like a clear stream flowing through one's heart.
The heckling and shouting gradually subsided, finally falling into silence.
Almost everyone was mesmerized!
Beautiful!
She was truly too beautiful!
As the host had said earlier, good food is worth waiting for. All the waiting was made incredibly worthwhile at the moment Su Yingxue appeared.
Even Meng Dandan's fans were inwardly amazed, and they faintly felt that even their idol couldn't compare to Su Yingxue before them.
In the front row of the audience, Liang Xiaotong's pupils constricted sharply.
As a seasoned designer, she felt a tremendous threat.
Unlike the general spectators, practitioners like her focused on the design of the clothes, the lines, the composition, and various professional elements.
In her eyes, Su Yingxue's dress was indeed flawless.
In fact, in terms of line treatment and craftsmanship, it was even more perfect than her own.
Moreover, Su Yingxue and this dress were so perfectly matched, as if they were mutually enhancing each other, a natural creation.
If Meng Dandan was a goddess from a dream, then Su Yingxue now was an immortal maiden walking towards them.
Not only did she evoke a dreamlike state, but she also felt approachable!
It almost embodied the purest beauty in the world, making one's breath catch.
At this moment, all the noisy clamor seemed to freeze.
Every audience member stared, their lips adorned with a gentle, pure smile.
"Sister Xue is truly too beautiful!"
In the backstage waiting area, even Wang Dongdong exclaimed in admiration.
Chen Fan wore a faint smile.
Tonight, Su Yingxue was like an immortal maiden descending to the mortal world, dazzling the entire audience. Seeing her like this, he was content.
Even the judges at the judges' table looked on with admiration and appreciation.
However, on the other side of the backstage, Meng Dandan's expression grew increasingly grim.
She had betrayed Su Yingxue, and she had thought Su Yingxue would be utterly defeated. But she never expected Su Yingxue to appear herself, so radiant, completely overshadowing her.
This naturally made her feel unhappy, and seeds of jealousy grew wildly in her heart.
Seeing Meng Dandan's changing expression, Tang Ruolin said beside her, "Dandan, don't worry. The model award is still yours, and the designer award belongs to designer Liang. It can't be changed!"
Meng Dandan gritted her teeth. "I want her disqualified! I don't want her to win any awards!"
Tang Ruolin blinked.
This was going too far.
While the predetermined champion and the grand prize were acceptable, suppressing other outstanding contestants would make the manipulation of the competition too obvious.
However, to win over the beauty, he pondered for a moment and then nodded, saying, "No problem!"
He turned and signaled to his assistant behind him to arrange it.
It was merely a matter of money. He had waited two years for Meng Dandan, and there was no reason to refuse now that success was within reach.
His assistant understood and immediately left the backstage to head towards the judges' table.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the venue, a gaze filled with hatred was fixed on Su Yingxue, who seemed like an immortal maiden descending to earth.
