Ever since knowing about the Korean-Chinese Alliance, Gu Junling became more stable and mature than before and also became more enthusiastic about the Gu family’s company. He actively participated in the operations and management of Gu Corporation and had now officially taken over the Gu Corporation as the youngest chairman ever.
Ling Qingxuan chased Ye Feiyu to no avail. He changed his entire lifestyle and began to keep his private life in check. He put his all into Lingyun Entertainment. Recently, under Wen Xinya’s suggestion, Lingyun Entertainment invested in the establishment of a huge film studio in the Jiangxi Province.
On the road of chasing his future wife, Han Mofeng had not returned. His journey was long and full of blood and tears. In this sense, he and Gu Junling were the same.
As all her friends started taking responsibility for their own duties and working hard for their futures, Wen Xinya felt very happy.
The girls were doing well too.
Du Ruo was still a crazy researcher. Xu Tongxuan performed well in the National Security Bureau. Ye Feiyu planned to stay at Capital University as a professor after graduating. After Du Ruoxin graduated, she would go abroad to study criminal investigation. Because of the Zhou Family’s situation, Zhou Tianyu never stepped into politics. Instead, she ran to the Mo Family from time to time, learning from outside.
“Xinya, congratulations on getting into the finals of the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition. Today we must celebrate it.”
The finalists of the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition were announced at 10 AM. The Seven Treasures Necklace designed by Wen Xinya entered the finals in the first place and received warm attention from the entire jewelry industry. As her friend, Zhou Tianyu naturally felt very proud.
Wen Xinya was also very happy and was all smiles. “Thank you guys for congratulating me. The finals are still not over, that is the real competition. It is still too early to celebrate.”
Since she managed to get into the finals, of course she had the ambition to win the competition. She was not being conceited or pursuing vanity, but this was a great glory for jewelry designers and a symbol of their skills. This was her step by step process to glory.
Having known each other for so long, everyone naturally knew what Wen Xinya was thinking. But Xu Tongxuan said, “No matter what, Xinya, this time you made a breakthrough from the outstanding jewelry designs from the various countries in the world, stood out from the crowd, and entered the finals with amazing results. This is something to be celebrated.”
From the semi-finals to the finals, there were only ten designers who could stay on this international stage and continue to participate in this brilliant competition. Xinya was one of them and she had a strong edge of being in the first place, proving her skills.
Ye Feiyu followed. “Xuanxuan is right, today we are celebrating about you entering the finals. After the finals, we will celebrate for you again.”
Ling Qingxuan quickly lifted her glass and stood up from her seat. “Come, guys. Let’s all make a toast.”
Wen Xinya knew that everyone was happy for her and she did not want to ruin the mood.
“Cheers…” The sound of the crisp and sweet glass collisions rang out, splashing liquor, passion and joy.
With a glass of wine down, everyone’s mood lifted and they were a bit high.
After three shots, Gu Junling asked, “Have you been informed of the timing of the finals?”
The Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition had been running for almost four months since October. For an international competition, this was already happening quite fast. The finals should not drag on for too long.
“After three days, all the finalists will go to the Milan World Expo in Italy to participate in the finals.” In order to avoid cheating, the finals did not adopt the submission mode but required participants to enter in person. This was the real competition, no one could cheat their way through.
During every jewelry design competition, a variety of cheating methods were used. As there was always a jewelry design association behind the competitions, few people could actually get past.
Ling Qingxuan was startled. “That’s so fast!”
This meant that the designers who had entered the finals were not given too much time to prepare. With the short preparation time, the true extent of their own accumulated knowledge, talent, and skills would be put to test.
“I heard that the designers who have entered the finals this time are all very skilled and talented. In the previous few rounds, the jury had a lot of controversies. In order to avoid this situation in the finals, the organizers and co-organizers of this competition are adopting this new approach.”
Due to the short period of time, designing outstanding works was not only a test of their skills but also their accumulated knowledge and talent.
While drinking, Han Mofeng said, “Be sure to win the competition and continue your legacy.”
Xinya’s amazing performance in this jewelry design competition had made her the main focus of this entire competition. So many people were discussing if Xinya could win it.
Du Ruo looked at Wen Xinya, with a flash of worship in her eyes, “Xinya is the best, she will win the championship.”
Wen Xinya felt warm seeing everyone’s confidence in her. “I will give it my all.”
Designers who could enter the finals naturally had the right skills. During the previous rounds, everyone more or less concealed the true extent of their skills to gain the element of surprise against their opponents. Their true level was not clearly known by Wen Xinya. So, she could not take them lightly.
Some of them continued to talk about the jewelry design competition.
“By the way, your Ninth Si’s birthday is tomorrow. You were traveling all over the city almost every day in order to buy him a meaningful gift. Did you get it?” Zhou Tianyu thought back to the previous two days when Xinya had called her and asked for her opinion. At that time, she had given a lot of suggestions, which were all rejected.
After Zhou Tianyu’s words, Xu Tongxuan got curious. “Tell us quickly, what gift have you prepared for Ninth Si?”
She had been troubled for a week over that and even asked for the opinions of her friends quite a few times.
Everyone was obviously curious about Wen Xinya’s gift and all started asking.
Wen Xinya’s face flushed red, her eyes flickered, and she looked a little strange. “Oh, the gift is ready.”
Anything more than that, she refused to say.
She thought about her running all over the city. She could not buy the gift she wanted. As a result, she lost her mind. She did not know what came over her, but she bought a random gift. Just thinking about it made her all shy and red.
How could she tell them about it!
