Under everyone’s gaze, Xyla Quest slowly walked up the stage. She went directly over to the standing microphone and stood in front of it, next to Emily Quest. Xyla then picked up the microphone on the computer table and looked at the crowd.
“Welcome, everyone, to our blueprint design competition… I’m sure all of you know the rules. I shan’t explain further… Let the selection process begin…” Xyla said.
“Sister… Where’s the designer you found? Isn’t she coming?” Emily asked.
“That designer is me… Aren’t I here?” Xyla chuckled.
Emily seemed horrified and shocked…
The crowd went silent.
Very soon, everyone began talking amongst themselves.
“What’s going on? Does Chief Xyla know how to design blueprints?”
“I don’t know… I’ve never heard about it before…”
“If she even knows how to do this, she’s really impressive…”
When May Conner heard this, she laughed sarcastically and walked over to Jeremy before sitting next to him.
Xyla had never learned anything about architectural design. May knew this much.
Even if Xyla did, it was probably very superficial knowledge she acquired overseas. It wasn’t something May felt intimidated by.
Meanwhile, Emily had always been exemplary in architectural design. May felt more confident that Emily would win.
“Sister… Do you actually know how to create architectural designs?” Emily asked.
“Yeah. A little bit… I studied architectural design for half a year previously…” Xyla said blandly.
When the employees heard this, they all started laughing. Even May couldn’t help but laugh.
“Half a year? Everybody knows how difficult architectural design is. What could you possibly learn in half a year?”
She was sure that Emily would defeat Xyla and thoroughly embarrass the latter.
This was going to be great! May’s daughter finally had her chance to gloat.
Xyla was able to hear what everyone said, and she could see their reactions clearly. However, she didn’t show any emotion.
Calmly, Xyla turned around and looked at Emily. “Emily… You go first…” She said.
Emily immediately nodded as she tried to control her excitement. She displayed her blueprint design on the large screen right away.
After that, Emily began introducing each aspect of her blueprint design in detail.
When the employees off-stage saw her blueprint design, they all gasped in surprise…
The three architectural designers were equally stunned. They wouldn’t stop showing Jeremy their thumbs as they nodded enthusiastically.
