Chapter 1531 - The Grand Finals Officially Begins (2/2)

Names of the competitors were fervently called out, displaying the zeal and anticipation of the audience for this event.

The host halted the crowd’s enthusiastic response before continuing. “Now, let us invite the 10 grand finalists on stage. Please give a warm welcome to them!”

Cheers and applause filled the hall as the atmosphere reached a dynamic peak.

Amid the ebullient whooping, Wen Xinya followed the other competitors onto the stage. Bright lights suddenly focused on them, casting them in a brilliant glow. The reporters by the side of the stage were enveloped in a photo-taking frenzy as they eagerly recorded this historical moment.

Of the 10 competitors, there were six females and four males. There were more women in the profession of jewelry design, but men usually surpassed them in terms of achievements and longevity of career.

The host shouted into his microphone. “Are you all excited to see your favorite jewelry designers?”

“Yes!” Tumultuous cheers echoed through the hall.

The host smiled. “I am also very excited as I am now witnessing the birth of a great jewelry designer who will be leading the next wave of jewelry design trends. May I invite the designers on stage to please introduce themselves.”

From right to left, they each took turns.

The 10 grand finalists all came from different countries. There were a total of three oriental faces—Shen Siwen, Wen Xinya, and another American-born Chinese.

Standing amongst the other towering competitors, the three of them looked especially distinctive. Both the host and the audience couldn’t help stealing a few more glances at them.

Wen Xinya was wearing an elegant oriental wrap dress, which exuded the mysterious grace of a bygone era. It had a refined loveliness that was very eye-catching.

Due to her height, she was positioned right in the center of the line of competitors.

Very quickly, it was her turn to introduce herself. The host stood beside her. “Ladies and gentlemen, this lovely lady from the east standing right beside me is the youngest competitor this year. Just 21 years old, she is now standing on the stage of the grand finals by virtue of her exceptional jewelry design talents. Will this young lady please introduce yourself.”

The host handed his microphone to Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya was one of the hot favorites in this grand finals, with the media following her closely. As a result, the reporters were taking countless photos of her.

Wen Xinya took a step forward. Her light blue, flowered wrap dress swayed under the bright lights, as she radiated a soft and gentle beauty. “Hello, everyone. I am Wen Xinya, one of the grand finalists of the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Competition. To me, the words ‘soul’ and ‘meaning’ are the embodiment of jewelry design. I hope everyone will give me their support.”

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted right after Wen Xinya completed her self-introduction. The entire hall was filled with repeated chants of her name in all the various accents.

Wen Xinya had produced astonishing results all the way from the preliminaries to the finals. Her multi-faceted designs and youthful age made her the most closely-watched competitor by all. With her god-given designing talents, she had managed to steal the hearts of a large number of supporters.
