With the aid of the security guards, Wen Xinya shook off the crazy reporters and hailed a taxi to rush off to Junhao Hotel.
The driver was a 40-year-old uncle. After getting onto the car, he recognized Wen Xinya at first glance and his face flushed in excitement. “You are… yes… Missy of the Wen Family… you are called… Wen Xinya!”
Wen Xinya smiled slightly, nodding.
The uncle driver smiled very broadly, grabbing the back of his own head, taking a long time to figure out a complete sentence. “Missy Wen, you are more beautiful in real life than in the photos in newspapers and magazines. Can you… give me an autograph.” As if he realized that he seemed very direct and abrupt, he quickly blushed and explained, “That… It’s my daughter. She has always liked you very much and I want to get an autograph for her.”
“Sure!” Wen Xinya took out a fountain pen and a light apricot piece of paper printed with white pear flowers from her bag, signing her name. She handed the paper to the driver uncle.
The driver uncle did not expect to get her signature so easily and held the paper with excitement, smiling silly. “Hehe, your handwriting is so pretty.”
Wen Xinya smiled heartily.
While driving, the driver uncle rambled on. “My daughter is around your age. She has always liked you a lot, and bought a lot of newspapers and magazines featuring you, and even applied for zither lessons, chess classes, poetry tuition, calligraphy training, and painting courses. She is pretty well-known as a talented girl in her school.”
When the uncle mentioned his daughter, his tone revealed his pride and affection.
“Speaking of her, my daughter has not always been like this. She used to hang out with a bunch of street gangsters often, getting into fights and causing trouble. She also started drinking and smoking at a young age. If we were more strict on her, she would leave the house and run away. But after she started looking up to you as a role model, she slowly became so well-behaved…”
Wen Xinya did not expect such a backstory and reason for this, no wonder the driver uncle was so touched when he saw her.
Ever since returning to the Wen family, Wen Xinya had always shown people a positive image. She was a rare species amongst the upper social class, growing step by step, transforming into her current respected self and inspiring others.
She had outstanding academic results, amazing talents, uncomparable skills, and magnificent achievements, but she did not have all of this right from the beginning. From a street gangster who did not even attend middle school, she relied on her own abilities and hard work to finally reach where she was today.
This kind of inspiration could easily bring about positive energy and change to society.
The car arrived at Junhao Hotel very quickly. Even from afar Wen Xinya could see a group of reporters surrounding the entrance of Junhao Hotel, and Teacher Jill was particularly prominent among the crowd due to his tall physique.
Wen Xinya paid the taxi fare and got out of the car.
“Missy Wen is here…” An observant reporter saw her immediately after she got off the car and rushed over towards her like a tide with his camera.
Within seconds, Wen Xinya became surrounded by the reporters.
Facing the madness of the reporters, Wen Xinya was helpless. She raised her voice, “Dear reporter friends, please let me through.”
Squeezing and maneuvering through the crowd of reporters, Wen Xinya finally reached Teacher Jill’s side.
Seeing Wen Xinya, Jill finally let out a sigh of relief. “Oh my God, Wen, you’re finally here.”
His trip to Capital city this time was kept very low key, no one knew about it other than the Wen family. He wanted to take this opportunity to make a trip abroad. Who knew that it would be this hard to escape the magical eyes of the media.
Wen Xinya saw that Teacher Jill did not seem unhappy because of the reporter situation and instantly felt more at ease.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the reporters, Jill had no choice but to accept everyone’s interview. “Dear reporter friends of Country Z, I came to this city this time as a commissioner of the Paris Vogue International Jewelry Association after being warmly invited and welcomed by the Wen family.”
“Mr. Jill de Castei, I heard that you had lunch with Miss Wen in a Western restaurant yesterday. What kind of person do you think Miss Wen is?”
Jill’s face clearly expressed his satisfaction and appreciation of Wen Xinya. “Wen is an excellent and talented woman. She has a unique understanding and knowledge of jewelry design. She is extremely talented, skilled and energetic. She even showed me the tea ceremony culture of Country Z, which let me experience the characteristics of the strong sense of culture here in Country Z. At the same time, we also had a very delicious meal. She is a beautiful and intelligent woman.”
Jill’s willingness to cooperate with the reporters, followed by what he said, caused an uproar of cheers amongst the reporters. No one expected Mr. Jill de Castei to view Miss Wen so highly.
Jill continued, “Unfortunately, Wen rejected my request this time. She used the story of the Rebirth of the Phoenix to show me the spiritual beliefs of the people in Z country and made me understand the true meaning behind the inheritance and the purpose for the continuity of the bloodline of the Puerile Phoenix.”
“If so, Mr. Jill de Castei, can you tell us what you understand about the Puerile Phoenix?” The reporters were very interested in the topic of the Puerile Phoenix and immediately jumped on that topic.
Jill’s voice trembled with emotions. “Life, love, and happiness are endless. This is why Ms. Mo Yunyao designed this pair of Puerile Phoenix to showcase this meaning. So… the Puerile Phoenix is only suitable for being inherited and passed down, and is not suitable for display in museums, kept high above the ground, becoming unattainable and just existing coldly.”
Jill’s words were laced with a French accent, making his sentences full of emotion and infecting others.
The reporters went crazy. They never expected Wen Xinya to reject the request of the Paris Vogue International Jewelry Association, and even obtaining the understanding and respect of Mr. Jill de Castei.
The most important thing was that Mr. Jill de Castei not only expressed full satisfaction, he also showed great respect for Wen Xinya.
The reporter turned to Wen Xinya again. “Miss Wen, Mr. Jill de Castei spoke so highly of you. Do you have anything to say back to Mr. Jill de Castei?”
Wen Xinya smiled gently. “First of all, I would like to express my most sincere apologies to Teacher Jill. This time Teacher Jill came to the city with a low profile and did not want to alert our reporter friends. His trip got interrupted because the Wen family did not manage to keep this information confidential, and the whereabouts of Teacher Jill were exposed, which caused him so much trouble. This is our fault.”
Although Wen Xinya’s words were not that polite, they did not aim to target anyone and were more like straightforward facts.
Wen Xinya continued, “The meeting with Teacher Jill yesterday was very enjoyable. Teacher Jill is a very knowledgeable and experienced mentor, who also happens to be a humorous gentleman. Not only does he have a lot of knowledge in jewelry design, but he also has his own experience and unique understanding, which have benefited me a lot. To me, he is a good teacher and friend.”
