After all, the other party’s work had a deep foundation in basic skills, and there was no problem with the design.

Lin Xinxin’s, on the other hand, was a bit ostentatious…

So, it was impossible for this year’s grand prize to be awarded to Lin Xinxin.

While he encouraged everyone to innovate, innovation should not ignore the basics.

Besides, too much innovation is not necessarily a good thing.

Dongfang Yu had Lin Xinxin come on stage to explain her design concept, but his expression remained neutral, just as he treated the other designers.

When she stepped down from the stage, she felt a sense of loss and unease deep within her.

Her intuition told her that the CEO was not very satisfied with her work.

Last year he had laughed when he saw her work; this year, he did not…

She was more worried about not winning the grand prize.

The design competition ended quickly.

Dongfang Yu discussed with several executives and quickly decided on the prize winners.

Soon, the list was published on the company’s website.

Everyone clicked to see and Lin Xinxin nervously accessed the site.

As soon as she opened the page, she saw the results.

She wasn’t first, nor was she second…

This time, Lin Xinxin came in fourth!

She opened her eyes wide in disbelief, refusing to accept the result.

She knew that the grand prize wouldn’t necessarily be hers, but she didn’t expect to miss out on the top three.

How could this happen… it shouldn’t be like this.

Wasn’t her design the most unique?

“Team Leader Lin, you are fourth. Congratulations,” Her colleagues came to congratulate her, but their words sounded more like mockery.

After all, she had achieved the highest rank last year; everyone thought she would rank highly this year too.

Lin Xinxin couldn’t accept the result, so she got up and left.

She wanted to find the CEO, she wanted to know where the issue was!

Dongfang Yu had not rested the previous night and had labors over the design competition in the morning; he was now extremely tired.

He rubbed his temples, pressed the internal line, and told his secretary, “I want to rest for 2 hours. Don’t let anything disturb me during this time.”

“Yes, CEO.”

Just as the secretary spoke, the office door was abruptly opened.

Lin Xinxin barged in unceremoniously.

Seeing her behavior, Dongfang Yu frowned in displeasure, “Team Leader Lin, have you forgotten the basic courtesy?”

Lin Xinxin’s eyes were red with distress, “I’m sorry, CEO. 1 didn’t mean to… I’m sorry!”

Dongfang Yu asked indifferently, “What’s the matter?”

Lin Xinxin nodded slightly, her voice filled with sorrow, “I just want to know, what’s wrong with my work… 1 don’t mean anything else… 1 spent a lot of time designing this time, I started preparing 2 months ago, and put a lot of effort into it… but 1 still failed. I just want to know, where did 1 go wrong.”

Dongfang Yu’s eyes were dark. He nodded and said, “I can see that you indeed put a lot of effort.”

“But why is this happening?”

“Are you dissatisfied with your ranking?” Dongfang Yu counters.

Lin Xinxin shook her head, “No, I just don’t know where the problem is. 1 feel such a failure. But I worked really hard, 1 thought my design would be very unique…”

However, the result was not desirable.

Dongfang Yu understood her thoughts and he patiently explained, “You put most of your efforts into innovation. However, basic skills are the most important..”
