Chapter 1525 - Rules of the Jewelry Design Competition (1/2)

The incense Si Yiyan had prepared for her was made personally by Wan Niang. Extremely effective, it was not only a balm to a tired mind and body, but it could also boost blood flow and was a complement to the calming herbal pills that Ruoruo had made for her. As a result, she quickly adapted to Italy’s time zone and was full of energy every day.

The Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition had always been one of the top competitions in this industry. Held once every three years, each event attracted worldwide attention.

As a result, the Milan World Expo Jewelry Association and all other sponsors held this competition in high regard.

The organizers allowed every competitor in the grand finals a period to relax and adjust to the place after their arrival in Milan. They gave everyone adequate time to calibrate their minds and bodies so that they could start the competition in peak condition.

Therefore, over the next two days, Mr. Ronda brought Wen Xinya on a leisurely tour of some of the most famous attractions in Milan.

For example, the fifth largest church in the world, the Duomo di Milano.

The church had a very unique architecture. The top half was constructed in a Gothic style while the bottom half was in classic Baroque. The entire church was intricately beautiful and an extremely monumental piece of architecture for anyone interested in culture.

The church had more than 6,000 statues, mainly revolving around the theme of Bible stories.

Napoleon Bonaparte had held his coronation ceremony here, and there was a gold-colored statue of Mother Mary on the rooftop. It glowed under the sunlight, appearing mystical and magnificent.

“This is truly an incredible piece of architecture.” Wen Xinya was not Catholic. She did not have any religion before she met Si Yiyan and only started believing in Buddhism after meeting him. Even so, she couldn’t help feeling astounded and humbled in the presence of such a world-renowned church.

Mr. Ronda said, “Milan is not just all about fashion. It also houses numerous famous architecture. More than anything, it is steeped in culture and the hometown of many artistic talents. Home to the arts, there are a vast number of famous art legacies stashed within the capital. The most famous would be Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper’.”

Wen Xinya nodded with profound understanding.

Country Z was an ancient nation with a cultural history full of mysterious gaping holes, requiring its descendants to slowly and tirelessly dig up and uncover all the leftover pieces of culture. In contrast, Milan was a city that had truly integrated culture, fashion, architecture, and tourism into one sprawling metropolis.

“When will the grand finals kick off?” Having been in Milan for three days, this was the first time Wen Xinya was asking about the competition.

Mr. Ronda smiled meaningfully at Wen Xinya. “Wen, the moment you decided to ask me when the competition is starting, it means you have reached your peak state—physically, emotionally, mentally. You already have full confidence in yourself, and I am happy for you.”

10 competitors and 10 representatives. Their assignations were not decided by the organizers, instead, they had chosen their favorite designer. Mr. Ronda had taken note of the young designer Wen Xinya right from the beginning. The style of her designs was classic, beautiful, novel and full of intensity. Her biggest advantage was her ability to decipher the soul of a design. This was the most important thing for a jewelry designer.

From the preliminaries until the finals, all three of her designs held their own unique flavor, while showing improvement with each round. Every design made the audience’s eyes sparkle. He could clearly see the extreme talent possessed by this jewelry designer.

And after meeting her in person, Mr. Ronda remained convinced of her talents.

She had a profound knowledge of jewelry design and was a very skilled jewelry designer. He dared to guarantee that of all the ten competitors, none of them could match up to her talents.
