Hodder took out a competition registration form from behind and placed it in front of Mo Yurou.
The International Jewelry Design Competition is the most authoritative competition in jewelry design. It is held every two years. The designers who win the grand prize every time will become the most sought-after people in the industry.
The person in front of me is Hodder, the only designer who has won three gold medals in a row. If he had not stopped participating later, he might have continued to win. Mr. Hodder's achievements in the jewelry industry have also made him a lifelong judge of this competition.
Mo Yurou likes jewelry design. Apart from systematically studying it in college, she has always done it as a hobby, but she has never thought about participating in any competitions.
However, because of this accident, she thought about a lot of things. She studied business administration because her surname was Mo and she had responsibilities that she had to shoulder. If you want to ask what she really wants to do, it is to become an excellent jeweler.
Designer.
This time she met Mr. Hodder by chance in the nursing home, and she had the idea of apprenticing to him to learn skills.
Mr. Hodder also accepts apprentices, and all of them are now achieving outstanding results. However, in the past ten years, Mr. Hodder has not accepted apprentices. Therefore, when Mo Yurou first requested to become a disciple, Mr. Hodder decisively refused.
"Teacher Huo De, are you telling the truth?"
Mo Yurou's eyes lit up. It wasn't the competition that attracted her, but Mr. Hodder was willing to accept her as his apprentice.
"Of course, but Yurou, you have to win this competition first and let me see your strength."
Hearing this, Mo Yurou felt a little discouraged again. This is the most authoritative and valuable competition in jewelry design, and it is simply harder than squeezing on a single-plank bridge.
Not all of the participants in the competition are famous, but they are basically people who have achieved some success in this industry. As for her, she became a monk halfway and became a hobbyist and won awards. It is probably more practical to dream.
"Why, I'm not confident anymore. Who said that all their designs are unique before?"
Mr. Hodder said excitedly when he saw that Mo Yurou had lost her fighting spirit.
"Teacher Huo De, aren't you making things difficult for me? I'm just a little transparent."
"Okay! Don't be embarrassed. If you don't want to participate, no one will force you. Then you will be forced to accept you as my disciple. Bye!"
After saying that, Teacher Huo De was about to leave. Mo Yurou frowned, stared, and clapped her hands, showing a risk-taking expression.
"Okay, I'll participate. The worst I can do is fail. What am I afraid of if I'm such a transparent person?"
Mr. Hodder, who turned around, smiled faintly when he heard the words of death, and then left the glass room.
"Wu Ma, I will give you a list later. You can help me prepare the things. There are still three months left, so there is still time."
Just do it. After Mo Yurou finished speaking, she wrote down dozens of things on the white paper. Fortunately, Wu Ma had also prepared these things for Mo Yurou before. For an ordinary person, she would have heard of some of them.
Never heard of it.
In a blink of an eye, August is here, the hottest season of the year.
After Mo Yurou finished her rehabilitation at the gym, she didn't go to the backyard as usual. Instead, she came to the living room and turned on the TV that she hadn't turned on for a long time.
"Miss, it's almost ten o'clock. Will the results of the game be out?"
For more than three months, Mo Yurou has almost been in seclusion. She has not seen anyone except Wu Ma. She has arranged every hour of every day to a full schedule. Except for two hours of rehabilitation every day, she spends the rest of the time in the backyard.
In the glass room, no one is allowed to disturb you.
"After six days of review and evaluation by the judges, the results of the 23rd International Jewelry Design Competition are finally announced. Next, we will broadcast the top ten works of this competition."
On the TV, as soon as the host finished speaking, the scene switched to the large stage behind him. There were ten display cabinets on it, and each display cabinet was lined up with a set of jewelry.
At this time, Mo Yurou was very nervous, looking at the camera without blinking, anxiously trying to find her work.
When the camera panned to the eighth work, Mo Yurou jumped up from her wheelchair in excitement.
"Miss, you have been shortlisted. Congratulations. Now Mr. Hodder can accept you as his apprentice."
Under the lens, a set of jewelry with the theme of sad roses comes into view. Different from the complexity and luxury of several other designs, this set of jewelry is extremely simple and yet exceptionally chic.
It is obviously just a set of jewelry, but it can make people feel the desolation of not being able to love and the courage to risk one's life for love.
When the camera fell on the last set of designs, Mo Yurou saw a familiar name, and the joy she felt just now disappeared instantly.
"She also participated. Yes, she is the design director of Mingyao Jewelry Asia Pacific."
Mo Yurou muttered to herself, and then she laid her eyes on the set of jewelry.
"Sweet first love. Sure enough, she must have been surrounded by happiness when she designed this set of jewelry."
Mo Yurou said calmly, but there was a hint of envy in her eyes. They said that a perfect design can best reflect the designer's current mood.
Mo Yurou's design and Jiang Moyao's design can be seen at a glance, one's inner bitterness and sadness at the moment, and the other's sweetness and happiness truly wrapped in love.
"Miss, I think yours is the prettiest. Those ones are too exaggerated, unlike yours, which are suitable for any occasion."
Wu Ma didn't understand this and said that these were meant to comfort Mo Yurou, but she also expressed her most direct thoughts when she saw these pieces of jewelry.
Mo Yurou smiled lightly and replied.
"Wu Ma, I'm fine. It's just that I was a little surprised when I suddenly saw her name. I'm very satisfied with the current result."
After all ten sets of works were displayed, the screen turned to the host again.
"Next, please allow me to announce the top three and bronze medal winners of this competition..."
Mo Yurou watched the news carefully. Although she didn't express any hope, she still had expectations in her heart. As the bronze and silver awards were announced, Mo Yurou's heart was in her throat.
"Next, I will announce the gold medal of this competition. Please let us know that the judging chairman of this competition, Mr. Hodder, a well-known jewelry design master, will take the stage."
Following the host's words, Mr. Hodder slowly came on stage, holding a list in his hand.
"The winner of the gold medal in the 23rd International Design Jewelry Competition is the work No. 8, designer yuri."
"Miss, you..."
Wu Ma looked at the final scene in the news and looked at Mo Yurou with some excitement. Mo Yurou just smiled lightly, controlled the wheelchair and left the living room, but when she turned around, she said something to Wu Ma.
"Wu Ma, prepare some food that Teacher Huo De likes."
"Oh, yes, miss."
Seeing that Mo Yurou could be so calm, Wu Ma also calmed down her excitement and got busy.
Two months later, a shocking news came out in the jewelry design world. After more than ten years of silence, the jewelry design master Mr. Hodder announced with a high profile that he would accept an apprentice, and announced that this would be his last apprentice, and this apprentice is
Yuri won the gold medal in the jewelry design competition.
At the same time, Yuri, a new jewelry designer, came out with her latest design. A series of products with the theme of a phoenix rising from the flames was launched. As soon as it was released, it was robbed, and it was even hard to find all the products.
In Los Angeles, Jiang Moyao lost the top three in the jewelry design competition a few months ago. It can be said that it was a waterloo in her smooth career, and she was depressed for a long time.
"Momo, I heard that you didn't go to the company today."
In the evening, Xiao Zichen came to Jiang Moyao's residence. Jiang Moyao had been in a very depressed mood during this period, so Xiao Zichen tried his best to spare time to come and accompany her.
"Zi Chen, you're here."
Jiang Moyao was sitting curled up in the living room, looking very lethargic. When he heard the voice, he just said hello lightly.
The defeat in this competition was a big blow to Jiang Moyao. She wanted to prove herself through this competition and let Xiao Zichen see her excellence, but in the end she missed the gold medal.
Xiao Zichen took off his coat, walked over, held Jiang Moyao in his arms, saw a magazine from a month ago on the coffee table, flipped through it, and then rubbed Jiang Moyao's head lovingly,
said.
"Why are you still thinking about the competition? You are already very good. It is the most authoritative competition in the jewelry industry. There are thousands of entries. You have been shortlisted for the top ten works. You are already very good."
"But I want to be the best person."
Jiang Moyao is also a strong person, so the loss in this competition was a big blow to her.
"Okay, don't think so much. If it doesn't work this time, then try harder next time. Come on, get up, pack up, and let's go out for dinner."
As he said that, Xiao Zichen threw the magazine on the coffee table. He didn't look properly and the magazine fell to the ground. It turned out to be a wedding dress advertisement.
When Jiang Moyao saw the wedding dress, a thought came to his mind.
Jiang Moyao looked at Xiao Zichen in front of him and said suddenly.
"Zi Chen, does the wedding you mentioned four months ago still count?"
Xiao Zichen was obviously stunned. He had almost forgotten this matter. Now that it was mentioned, he no longer felt the same joy as before.
But when he turned around and saw the expectant look on Jiang Moyao's face, thinking of how he had hurt and let down Jiang Moyao, he couldn't bear to hurt this kind woman again.
Xiao Zichen hugged Jiang Moyao, kissed her gently on the forehead, and said.
"Of course, I will ask Mingyu to find a wedding venue tomorrow. If everything goes well, next month, it will be my birthday, and we will hold a wedding, okay?"
Jiang Moyao felt satisfied in her heart. She leaned into Xiao Zichen's arms, looked at the sparkling diamond ring on her hand, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Immediately, that fearful voice flashed through his mind, Jiang Moyao frowned, hugged Xiao Zichen tightly, and then said.
"Zi Chen, don't make the wedding too extravagant. Just invite some friends. I want a wedding that only belongs to the two of us. I don't want too many people to pay attention to it."
"Okay, everything is up to you. Let's go out to eat now, okay?"
"Um!"
Finally, one month after the competition, Jiang Moyao finally had a smile on his face.
