Chapter 1523 - Arriving in Milan, Italy! (1/2)

On the second day, escorted by Liu Yanhua, Wen Xinya would be boarding a plane bound for Italy, heading for the grand finals of the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition. This type of international jewelry design competition had ignited a lot of attention within the jewelry industry and the media. As a result, Wen Xinya was immediately surrounded by waiting reporters the moment she arrived at the airport in Tianjing City.

In the end, Liu Yanhua had to contact the manager of the airport’s VIP lounge to have security intervene so that Wen Xinya could break through the tight barrier of reporters.

Wen Xinya’s booking was for a direct flight from Tianjing City Airport to Milan, Italy. Si Yiyan had booked the most premium first-class seat for her.

It was already 3 PM by the time Wen Xinya arrived at the Milan International Airport after a long ten and a half hours flight.

Wen Xinya finally stepped on Italian soil.

Milan was the most densely populated and developed area in Europe, famous for its tourist sights, fashion, and architecture.

More than half of the world’s top fashion brands had their headquarters in Milan, with many of the clothes being designed right here. For example: Armani, Versace, D&G, Valentino, etc. All these major brands had their major operations stationed right in Milan. This city was undeniably one of the “Big Four” fashion capitals of the world.

Jewelry would forever be the complement to clothing fashion. As a result, nearly all of the most renowned jewelry designers were based in Milan. At the same time, it was the most sought-after destination by many jewelry designers.

This was why the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition had attracted such widespread attention.

The organizers of the Milan World Expo Association had sent a representative, Mr. Ronda, to the airport to welcome them.

A smile spread across Mr. Ronda’s face the moment he saw Wen Xinya. “Hi, Miss Wen. Welcome to Milan!”

His fluent English held a note of passion. It was the quintessential Italian’s exaggerated way of expressing themselves.

Smiling in return, Wen Xinya exchanged pleasantries with him. She responded appropriately, without being overly-eager nor distant. “How do you do, Mr. Ronda. Thank you for taking time off your busy schedule to welcome me at the airport.”

This Mr. Ronda was in his mid-thirties and radiated with a passion and dynamism that was unique to Italians. It made Wen Xinya feel very amenable toward him.

Mr. Ronda’s sincere gaze was appreciative as he took in Wen Xinya with his eyes. “Miss Wen is too polite. This is part of my job.”

Wen Xinya exuded an exotic and mysterious grace and beauty distinct to the orient. Due to her long years apprenticing under Grampy, she was also admirably erudite and self-possessed, giving off the characteristic air of a learned and cultured person.

Wen Xinya’s tone was extremely polite while maintaining that typical Country Z’s manner of smiling. “I will have to trouble Mr. Ronda in the following days, then.”

Wen Xinya knew that for the next ten days over the duration of the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition, this Mr. Ronda would be responsible for her daily living requirements, her itinerary, as well as all the details and arrangements for the competition. They would have to spend a long period together, so it was very important for Wen Xinya to make a good impression on Mr. Ronda.

However, Mr. Ronda was part of the competition organization team, while she was a competitor. As a result, it was not appropriate for her to behave too fervently toward him. Otherwise, she would appear to have ulterior motives and end up doing a disservice to her own status. Of course, she couldn’t be overly aloof either. The success of the matter remained in the details.

Being genial and polite was the best strategy.
