There were seven judges in the competition, and each contestant's final score was determined by the judges' scores. One highest score and one lowest score would be removed, and the average of the remaining scores was the final result.
Liang Hani laughed, "You're quite optimistic about Xun Yining, aren't you?"
"Of course. But my favoritism for him doesn't mean I'll pave the way for him. How far he can go ultimately depends on himself."
"I'll talk to the other judges. You should excuse yourself for a bit to avoid putting pressure on the kid."
Liang Hani's concerns were valid. If Jiang Zhe were around, Xun Yining would have been very nervous instead.
When he walked in, he looked a bit panicked, but he gradually relaxed when he realized Jiang Zhe wasn't there.
Seeing his young age, the judges were only slightly surprised for a moment. Thinking back to even younger prodigious designers they had encountered before, they didn't find it too remarkable.
