Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1544 - The Award Ceremony

Chapter 1544: The Award Ceremony

At this point, Wen Xinya, who was standing at the stage of the Milan World Expo, under the glitzy and glamorous lights, pa.s.sionate cheers below, and everyone’s enthusiastic applause, gradually stretched out her hands.

These hands had to be as flawless as jade, pure, slender, and beautiful. It was these hands that allowed her to stand on the stage of the International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion held by the Milan World Expo. These hands would bring her to accomplish her dreams of two lifetimes and enable her to create even more outstanding products.

She was Wen Xinya. Wen Xinya who had the hands in her dreams.

No longer that Wen Xinya in her previous lifetime who broke the wings of her dreams because of her hands!

She would become a stunning jewelry designer and walk towards the peak of jewelry design with these hands.

Wen Xinya gradually broke into a smile. Under the lights, her smile was like a lotus emerging from underwater—pure and beautiful.

Behind her smile, the huge screen was playing an edited video of herself at the jewelry craft factory as well as the three products she had designed for the compet.i.tion.

Jacqueline Madan was standing to the right of Wen Xinya, her greenish-blue eyes filled with a complicated judgment towards her.

Then, it was the award ceremony.

Among the ten partic.i.p.ants in the grand finals, besides the designers who won the top three placings, the remaining seven designers would receive a memorial award with their placings prepared by the International Jewelry Design a.s.sociation and the organizers of the compet.i.tion.

After the memorial awards were presented, it was the award ceremony for the top three placings.

They would be presented from the second runner-up, to the first runner-up, and finally the champion.

“Now, we’re going to present the award to the champion of the International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion held by the Milan World Expo this round. The presenter of this prize is the president of the Italian Jewelry a.s.sociation, Mr. Claudio. May I invite Mr. Claudio to personally present this honorable t.i.tle to our champion today, Wen Xinya.”

Amidst the enthusiastic applause of the audience, the president of the a.s.sociation went on-stage with two ushers in light purple off-shoulder gowns.

The two ushers were holding gla.s.s trays in their hands. One of them contained a garland made of colorful daisies. Daisy was Italy’s national flower, symbolizing happiness, peace, and hope!

The other tray contained the champion trophy of the compet.i.tion. Two slender and beautiful hands were carved out of natural yellow crystal, with their fingers pointing upwards and holding a s.h.i.+mmery white crystal carved into the shape of a diamond. The workmans.h.i.+p of 108 faces made this crystal diamond s.h.i.+ne glamorously with a luminous glow under the lights.

Natural crystals were usually only formed by violent plate tectonics such as volcanic activities or earthquakes. Thus, it was one of the extremely rare gems.

Claudio came up to Wen Xinya and shook her hand. “Congratulations on getting the champion t.i.tle of the compet.i.tion.”

Saying which, he placed that daisy garland on Wen Xinya’s neck.

Following that, he presented the champion trophy to Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya bowed, received the trophy with both hands, and initiated a hug with Claudio. “Thank you for personally presenting this award to me.”

The Italian Jewelry a.s.sociation was one of the top ten jewelry a.s.sociations in the world with an extremely good reputation. Claudio was a highly respected character in the jewelry field in the entire world. It was her honor to receive this award from him personally.

After the awards were presented, a round of applause sounded again.

The host came up to Wen Xinya. “Miss Wen, it seems like the outcome of you winning the International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion held by the Milan World Expo this round is a popular choice. What are your thoughts on this?”

The International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion held by the Milan World Expo had spanned across four months. With her outstanding performance, Wen Xinya had stood out from the crowd from the very first elimination round of the compet.i.tion, did spectacularly all the way, entered the grand finals in a high profile manner, and finally won the champion t.i.tle of the compet.i.tion. Such capabilities were indeed extremely stunning.

Wen Xinya held the microphone, thought for an instant, and then said, “I’m very thankful to the Milan World Expo Jewelry a.s.sociation and compet.i.tion organizers for giving me this opportunity to showcase my talents and to all the judges present for the fair evaluation and outcome of my products. Of course, I’m also very thankful to all the audience of the International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion for your love for the products I’ve designed, as well as all the people watching the International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion who supported and liked me.”

The answer which was simple, repet.i.tive, and so plain that it had no character, for some reason, made everyone present laugh. Eventually, even Wen Xinya couldn’t help but laugh.

The host also laughed uncontrollably. “Actually, everyone ought to thank you too. Because of your stunning performance, this compet.i.tion became even more interesting.” Saying which, the host asked the audience enthusiastically, “Isn’t that so?”

“Yes!” The pa.s.sionate reply instantly filled the entire venue.

The host looked at Wen Xinya again. “Look, I’m being honest!”

Wen Xinya was overwhelmed by emotions and for a moment actually didn’t know what to say.

The host said, “Miss Wen, the grand finals of the International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion will be broadcasted live via Satelite in countries all over the world. Do you know that at this moment, there are hundreds and thousands of audience watching you from their TV, including your family and friends? At such a touching moment, don’t you have anything to say to everybody?”

Wen Xinya held the microphone in her hands and was silent for a moment.

Her silence made the pa.s.sionate atmosphere become quiet.

A moment later, Wen Xinya released her tight grip on the microphone and said, “I’m very happy to obtain the champion t.i.tle of the International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion held by the Milan World Expo. I’ve always dreamed of having a life as glamorous and cla.s.sy as that of jewels. Although I know that this path is tough, because before the exquisite jewelry in the jewelry shops became stunning, they were all ugly ores. They had to go through all shorts of workmans.h.i.+p, smelting, shaping, cutting, carving, shaving, and polis.h.i.+ng, before they could truly radiate their own glow and charm. However, regardless of this, I’ll persevere on this path. I hope that everyone can wish me all the best. Thank you!”

Saying which, Wen Xinya bowed slightly and gave a curtsy to everyone.

Wen Xinya’s words were beautiful and touching. She likened herself to the ugly ores which had to go through all sorts of arduous workmans.h.i.+p before radiating the bedazzling glow and charm like that of jewelry.

Without those fake and patronizing words after getting the champion t.i.tle, the arrogance of being the winner, as well as the additional glamor of being a champion.

They only had her fearless perseverance for jewelry design.

These words were very constructive and moving. They touched many people present.

Even the host couldn’t help but be slightly moved. “Let’s give our best blessings to Miss Wen in the form of the most pa.s.sionate applause, shall we?”

Enthusiastic applause rang in the compet.i.tion venue.

Amidst the applause, Wen Xinya couldn’t help but tear.

A bedazzling, elegant life—this was the dream of her two lifetimes.
