Chapter 376: The Principal I s Perseverance

This Li Sheng didn’t usually attend, but he came when Li Ru was competing. Moreover, it seemed that he had some friendship with the principal.
In addition, when she first announced the competition results, Li Ru questioned her judgment.
Therefore, Yang Ning guessed that this person was the helper Li Ru had specifically invited.
At this moment, she was a little unhappy. She did not want the principal to favor Li Ru and Lin Lin’s works over Zhou En and Xia Wan’s works simply because he was friends with Li Sheng.
Although Li Ru and Lin Lin’s designs were not bad, Zhou En and Xia Wan’s designs were better suited for their school.
The principal pointed to the three pieces of artwork and said to Li Sheng, “Their works are all here. You can take a look for yourself.
“Your niece, Li Ru, and her team’s work is very good. It’s already an achievement that they secured second place.
“After reviewing these three works, I believe the first place is well-deserved.
“It’s fortunate that you’re here today. I can share this good news with you.
“I want to offer a contract to the top student and officially adopt their design drafts as our school uniform design.”
Li Sheng couldn’t maintain the smile on his face.
“Principal, are you making a hasty decision to choose the first-place design as our school uniform?
“Considering they are just students, don’t you think this decision is too rushed?”
The principal gently tapped the table. “You can come over and examine their designs before deciding if they are suitable.”
Li Sheng approached to inspect the three works.
Upon seeing Zhou En and Xia Wan’s design drafts, Li Sheng’s eyes filled with amazement.
“Is this the first-place design?”
The principal nodded.
Li Sheng conceded at this point. Although his niece’s group of paintings was good, if he were the principal, he would also choose the first prize.
He said to the principal, “You have excellent taste. The design of the first-place uniform is outstanding.”
Only then did the principal’s expression slightly improve.
“However, I believe the design of the second-place entry is also exceptional. We can consider using it as well. This way, students can have two uniform options,” Li Sheng suggested.
Professor Yang Ning couldn’t help but chime in, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. The design styles of these two uniforms are quite distinct. We asked the students to have a uniform look.
“If students wear two different uniforms, it will clearly go against our original intention of uniformity.”
Li Sheng narrowed his eyes and addressed Professor Yang Ning, “You must be Professor Yang Ning. I’ve heard of your name. You are indeed talented in design. I can see your admiration for the two children who won first place.”
“But I believe the second-place design has a more international appeal. When Kyoto University students participate in international competitions, they can wear the second set of uniforms.
“While the first set showcases ancient culture, who in an international metropolis would understand this so-called ancient culture?” Professor Yang Ning felt a bit irritated after hearing Li Sheng’s remarks. Li Sheng’s words seemed to imply that China’s current influence wasn’t sufficient to gain international attention.
Professor Yang Ning’s expression turned cold. “Mr. Li Sheng, I believe there’s an issue with your attitude. As citizens, we should always maintain pride and confidence.
“If you don’t believe in the strength of your own country, how can you expect other nations to have faith in us?
“I believe this confidence should be backed by corresponding strength.” Li Sheng smiled slightly.
Xia Wan didn’t expect that judging a fashion design competition would lead to a discussion about the country.
Nonetheless, she could sense that Li Sheng was here to cause trouble.
She smiled and stepped forward. “Mr. Li Sheng, I think there might be a misunderstanding in your statement..”
