Chapter 122 - The Epitome of Elegance—Zhou Huiyan (2/2)
Zhou Huiyan said, “Firstly, you’re the star of the homecoming party, so you’ve got to showcase your unique charm and keep all eyes on you at all times. This requires more than perfect etiquette, it also depends on how you adapt to different situations on the ground.”
Wen Xinya listened intently and began to realize the difficulty of keeping the focus of thousands on herself. “Yes, I’m the eldest daughter of the Wen Family, but given the profiles of the distinguished and famous guests in attendance, I’m afraid it will be hard to remain in the spotlight!”
Zhou Huiyan agreed. “Based on your current standard, it will be impossible.”
She was too amateurish—so what if she was extraordinary? Each of the thousands of guests was special, many of whom were more exceptional than her. Had she been merely a daughter from a distinguished family garnering attention purely due to her background, it would have been understandable even if she went unnoticed.
On the other hand, having led a wandering life for 15 years, she had an unglamorous past. Old Mr. Wen’s support would be for naught if she could not put up a good show and change everyone’s perceptions. She would then forever carry the mark on her heritage. The homecoming party was plainly a dinner of approval!
She had to gain the acceptance of everyone present. It was the only way she could secure her position in the circle!
“What should I do?” Wen Xinya had been aware of her circumstances long ago. Thus, she regarded the homecoming party with utmost importance.
Grinning, Zhou Huiyan said, “You’ll start from shifting your attitude—keep in mind that you’re the host and highlight of the homecoming party and not a guest, so you don’t have to be so formal! Remember that you’re 15, not 25; thus, it’s not required for you to act all demure and dignified. You’re but a young girl, as long as you spread your youthful spirit and passionate positivity to everyone, you will succeed.”
Wen Xinya’s eyes lit up with hope. “Since I can’t appeal to them with charm, I will present my enthusiastic liveliness.”
Wen Xinya’s face brightened. “Seizing opportunities!”
“Affirmative.” Zhou Huiyan added, “You can start from the banquet arrangements.”
Wen Xinya’s head was already flooded with ideas that she could not wait to discuss with the public relations. She was extremely grateful towards Zhou Huiyan—issues which had plagued her for days had been solved. “Thank you so much, Teacher Zhou!”
Zhou Huiyan flashed a big smile. “Teacher Zhou is waiting to see you shine at the homecoming party.”
With a sincere and sweet smile, Wen Xinya replied, “I will not disappoint you.”
