"The scoring system ranks submissions from 0 to 100. Each of the five judges will give their individual score and the average score will be determined as the contender's final score. Then, each contender will be ranked based on their scores.”
The rules were simple and clear, then came the scoring session.
Susan ranked first during the voting match, so she was the first to be assessed in this round.
To be the first contender standing at the center of the stage, Susan could not help but feel a little nervous.
She did not think that the result would be determined using the scoring system, and she had no idea how many points she could score.
Among the five judges, she had the least hope for Julian’s score.
Because of the rumors, he should give her a lower score.
Just as Susan was thinking to herself, the first score was out.
"Lanyard's chairman, Mr. Shaw: 99 points."
Susan looked up in shock, she was dumbfounded. 1
What? 99 points?
Not only did Julian not give her a lower score, but he also gave her a really high score.
Susan was stunned.
The other four judges also looked at Julian.
"Mr. Shaw, 99 points? Isn't this a little too high?" A judge could not help but say.
If Julian wanted to be biased, he should at least do it discreetly. That was way too obvious.
"Nope, I think it’s worth this score," Julian looked at Susan proudly.
The other judges were speechless.
Why did they feel like Julian was Susan's fan?
"Worth this score? I think, among all the other submissions, Susan's design was the worst," the second judge snickered coldly and gave Susan 76 points.
Julian glanced at her. This judge was a female designer who had an exclusive contract with a huge construction company, so she was not really intimidated by Lanyard's power.
After giving Susan a low score, she even glanced at Julian provocatively.
She despised people like Susan. She was already forty-five years old and was just merely securing her reputation in the field. Susan was not even thirty years old, so what did she do to deserve such a high
score?
Julian raised his brows and looked away, "I don't talk t o blind people." 2
The female judge was speechless.
Blind! Julian called her blind!
The female judge wanted to get angry, but Julian was not even paying attention to her, so she could only force herself to calm down.
Susan watched closely from the center of the stage.
She told Julian so many times in the car to keep it low -key and avoid the rumors.
Yet, not only did this man not keep it low, but he also gained everyone’s attention.
If they were characters in a comic strip, Susan would definitely draw two trails of tears on her face.
The first two judges gave 99 and 76 respectively. The next judge was Jojen, who gave 89 points. The remaining two judges gave 94 and 95 points each.
Susan's final average score was calculated to be 90.6.
The next contender entered the stage. Julian gave an objective score of 90 points, and the lowest score was given by Jojen - 70 points. The scores given by the other judges were all above 85 points.
Then the third, fourth contender.
After all ten of the contenders received their scores, the crowd realized that, among the ten scores he gave, Susan was the only one who received a score above 80 from Jojen. All the other scores fluctuated around 70, and the lowest was just 60. 1
Everyone looked at each other.
Was it not true that Jojen did not like Susan? Why would he give her a score of 89 points if he did not see her potential? The second-highest score he gave was only 75!
A huge difference of 14 points.
When the scoring session was over, Susan was the only one who had a final score of over 90 points, so she was crowned as the champion straightaway.
