Sweet Military Marriage: Mr. Jing, Please Spare Me! Chapter 345 - Highest Score

Ning Hua let out a soft laugh before he answered, "Well, as you said, I already have works made in Ning's Fas.h.i.+on. So, I think I am considered a rather 'old person' in the industry. I guess most people here have seen my works or at least heard about me. However, most of the contestants in this compet.i.tion are newbies, and the only people that know them would be their friends and family. The amount of support that they would get is most likely much lesser than mine. Hence, it would be unfair for me to use the same style and concept that I have been engaging with the public. Since I am an old person in the industry and had released several works, then people would be familiar with or are at least used to those concepts, so they might just vote for me out of habit."

"Moreover, since this is a compet.i.tion, I decided to try a little something new. I could sort of conduct market research through this compet.i.tion. So, now I know what kind of styles, other than my original one, everyone could accept or would prefer. I don't even have to hire a team of people to do any research, and I could just get the results from this compet.i.tion. I have nothing to lose."

Ning Hua paused for a moment and thought before he laughed softly again, "Well, maybe except losing my face or reputation because I attained the second position in the previous few rounds instead of first."

The judges laughed at his reply since it sounded rather amusing that someone was so honest about their intentions.

"So, did you find out what kind of style they prefer through this market research?"

"Yes. I think they would prefer the style that we always have, judging from the reactions we obtained today. So, I guess I would just have to stick with it. Or, I could try more styles, but I will have to hire a team for market research this time around."

The judges laughed once again.

The a.s.sistants then went to collate the marks that every judge gave and average out the scores.

Out of 100, Ning Hua got an average of 97.3 points. Five judges gave him near full marks of 99 and above, while three gave him lower nineties.

After the a.s.sistants average out the scores, they keyed into the system, and the judges could see the results.

One of the judges then took the microphone and spoke with surprise, "You have obtained a very high score. The highest score we ever received in the compet.i.tions that we had held all these years."

The judges didn't reveal the score to Ning Hua or the audience since they had to take into account other areas for the finals. However, they could give him a rough idea of the score that he obtained.

Ning Hua was excited by the judge's comment, and he thanked the judges before he and his people left the stage.

The a.s.sistants then cleared the stage and prepared for the next partic.i.p.ant who was Jiang Xue Zi.

While the stage was being prepped, the judges and the audience took that period to relax.

The audience also went off to take some refreshments or have their toilet break.

Mo Xi took this chance to think about how she was going to deal with the press conference tomorrow since everything about Ning Hua and Lu Jin Sheng would be settled today. More importantly, she was worried about what Wen Ting Ting was going to face and how she would be able to take all the harsh criticisms when things are revealed.

While thinking, Mo Xi took a bottle of water from Yan Chu while she rubbed her thumb and index finger together.

Donovan looked at Mo Xi, and his eyes softened when he looked at her hand.

She is still the same. Perhaps the only one that really changed is me...

Donovan let out a soft laugh before he spoke to Mo Xi.

"Do you want to eat anything?" Donovan asked Mo Xi.

Mo Xi was surprised by the sudden question, and she looked at Donovan for a second before she processed his words.

"Nope."

Yan Chu looked at Donovan and Mo Xi in shock once again, and his mouth opened and closed a few times as though trying to ask Mo Xi what's going on. However, he wasn't able to voice out his thoughts and questions because he was too dumbfounded.

"Are you hungry?" Mo Xi turned to ask Yan Chu.

Yan Chu looked at Mo Xi again, and he blinked his eyes a few times as though trying to ask her what she was trying to do. However, he still managed to keep his cool and ignore the eery feeling in his heart.

"Yes? Yes."

Yan Chu answered Mo Xi a little unsurely but nodded again because he was feeling hungry.

Mo Xi turned to look at Donovan, and he knew what she was trying to do or asking him for. However, Donovan turned to Yan Chu and shook his head.

"Sorry. I don't have any food for you."

Yan Chu rolled his eyes because he felt very p.i.s.sed off by Donovan's words.

"Then why did you even bother to ask her if she wants to eat anything? You don't even have food, and you still asked her whether she was hungry? What game are you trying to play?"

Donovan's a.s.sistant then came forward and pa.s.sed a sandwich and juice to him before he left.

Donovan had yet to eat the sandwich today because he was busy with this event, and he was thinking about Mo Xi during the break earlier on. His a.s.sistant knew about his habit, so when the time came, he brought the sandwich and juice to Donovan.

Yan Chu looked at Donovan dumbfounded again because he couldn't believe that someone like Donovan was the grandchildren of a Grand Duke!

Grand Duke! Does he not have any manners?! He said he didn't have any food! What's that?!
