Chen Yidu said calmly: "As a designer, you should never forget the people-oriented principle at any time. Li Weiwei's design fully considers the needs of the wearer instead of blindly pursuing exaggeration, which is very rare in my opinion."
Hearing this, Tiffany's face became very ugly.
The host invited six pairs of mentors and contestants to the stage for the audience to vote on the spot.
Numbers jumped on a large screen behind the stage, showing real-time voting results.
After the voting was completed, Li Weiwei was in the lead.
Li Weiwei gently poked Chen Yidu with her elbow and said proudly: "How about it, Teacher Chen? I didn't embarrass you."
Chen Yidu said calmly: "My students deserve to be ranked first."
At this time, the assistant director suddenly came on stage and handed the host a note.
The host lowered his head to check, with a surprised expression: "Before announcing the results, we have a video to play for everyone."
Under the stage, the cameras adjusted their lenses to focus on Li Weiwei, and the big screen began to play her interview video.
In the video, Li Weiwei is sitting in the garden being interviewed.
The assistant director asked: "Who do you most want to see in this competition?"
Li Weiwei said without hesitation: "My dad, unfortunately he is traveling abroad and may not be able to see the show."
The assistant director asked again: "Does Dad Li follow the competition abroad?"
She nodded and showed the chat history in WeChat on her mobile phone: "Of course, my father and I often chat, and I will tell him everything I have to do. This time, my father has also been sending messages to encourage me."
Chen Yidu looked at Li Weiwei in surprise, but she didn't notice at all.
The host said: "During our interview, contestant Li Weiwei emphasized many times that she has a good relationship with her father and is in constant contact with her. But just today, someone anonymously sent a message to the program team, saying that Li Weiwei's father actually had a relationship with her father five years ago. He died in a plane crash, so we went out of his way to verify the situation."
The screen switched to news reports from that year. A Boeing 747 aircraft flying from Amsterdam International Airport in the Netherlands to Shanghai Pudong International Airport lost contact with the tower shortly after takeoff, and then a picture of the wreckage of the aircraft appeared.
Li Weiwei's expression suddenly changed and she was heartbroken.
The host said in a serious tone: "After verification, Li Weiwei's father Li Duzhong is indeed on the death list."
Everyone looked at Li Weiwei, with sympathy and contempt in their eyes.
Tiffany looked like she was enjoying the show, while Leo looked sad.
Chen Yidu looked at Li Weiwei with a look of disdain.
The host asked Li Weiwei: "Why did you deliberately conceal your father's death? Did you forge those WeChat chat records yourself? How could your deceased father send you a WeChat message?"
Li Weiwei opened her mouth with red eyes, unable to speak.
The host asked again: "What does Instructor Chen Yidu think of this behavior of students?"
After a moment of silence, Chen Yidu said in a cold tone: "I cannot cooperate with a person who even wants to take advantage of his deceased relatives. I announce that I will no longer serve as Li Weiwei's mentor."
Li Weiwei looked at Chen Yidu desperately, and seeing that he was unmoved, she suddenly turned around and rushed out of the studio.
Leo expressionlessly shook off Tiffany's hand and chased out. Chen Yidu looked at the direction Li Weiwei left with disdain.
Li Weiwei cried and ran, shouting on her mobile phone WeChat: "Dad, they all lied to me. You are still alive, right? Dad, please speak."
She dialed the phone again and said in pain: "Tell me you are fine now. You are in Vancouver or Toronto, flying first class, staying in a five-star hotel, and having so much fun every day that you have no time to pay attention to me. You don't have to pay attention to me. It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer my call, even if you stay abroad forever and never come back, I just want you to be alive, and I just want dad to still be alive in this world!”
Huo Xiao listened to Li Weiwei's heart-rending cry and shed tears: "Weiwei, I'm sorry...Uncle Li passed away five years ago."
She heard the voice on the other end of the phone and said angrily: "Huo Xiao, why did you lie to me!"
Li Weiwei put down the phone in despair and squatted on the street crying.
Leo stopped in front of Li Weiwei on his motorcycle and handed her the helmet: "Get in the car."
She wiped her tears and took the helmet.
Li Weiwei in the back seat buried her head behind Leo and cried, making him feel a little distressed.
The motorcycle stopped in a park they were familiar with, and Leo sat side by side with her on a bench by the lake, looking far away.
"You must be very scared now. The person who loves you the most in this world is gone, and no one will tolerate you unconditionally and let you rely on you. You still feel regretful, regretful that you were angry with him, and regretful that you could not be better to him. A little, spend more time with him, and regret not telling him how much you love him. I know how you feel now, because my parents were also on that plane. You adopted me after the plane crash, and I am your brother."
Hearing this, Li Weiwei was shocked.
Leo said firmly: "Weiwei, you have lost your memory."
She remained silent, acquiescing.
"Actually, the first time we met was half a year after the plane crash. That day I was besieged by a group of gangsters outside the orphanage. It was you who beat them away."
Leo pulled out the photos on his phone and showed them to her: "This is what you gave me for my eighteenth birthday. This is the photo we took before you sent me to the United States."
Li Weiwei had wiped away her tears and was fascinated by the photos.
Leo said seriously: "Weiwei, I know you are in pain now, but the pain will decrease day by day. Don't be afraid, because you are not alone, you still have me. I will replace your father and love you unconditionally forever." You, tolerate you, let you rely on me.”
Li Weiwei looked at Leo, suddenly hugged him, and said with red eyes, "I'm sorry, I forgot about you."
Leo's face was filled with emotion, and he pretended to be relaxed and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm so charming, even if you forget about me, I'm confident that I can make Weiwei fall in love with me again."
He pressed Li Weiwei's head in his arms: "Okay, I agree that you will be sad for a few more days. When you are sad enough, you should cheer up."
She sniffed and nodded.
As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the figures of the two embracing each other warmly until night falls.
Early the next morning, Chen Yidu arrived at DU and immediately began to look through the information of substitute students.
Cao Zhong knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Chen, quickly turn on the TV."
