Chapter 1544 - : The Award Ceremony (1/2)
At this point, Wen Xinya, who was standing at the stage of the Milan World Expo, under the glitzy and glamorous lights, passionate 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 Competition 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 competition.
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 participants 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 Association and the organizers of the competition.
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 Competition held by the Milan World Expo this round. The presenter of this prize is the president of the Italian Jewelry Association, Mr. Claudio. May I invite Mr. Claudio to personally present this honorable title to our champion today, Wen Xinya.”
Amidst the enthusiastic applause of the audience, the president of the association went on-stage with two ushers in light purple off-shoulder gowns.
The two ushers were holding glass 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 competition. Two slender and beautiful hands were carved out of natural yellow crystal, with their fingers pointing upwards and holding a shimmery white crystal carved into the shape of a diamond. The workmanship of 108 faces made this crystal diamond shine 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 title of the competition.”
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 Association was one of the top ten jewelry associations 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.
