Chapter 1308: The Wen Corporation’s Jewelry Exhibition
It was finally the day of the Wen Corporation’s jewelry exhibition.
The exhibition was scheduled to officially begin at eight in the evening and end at half-past ten. Due to the fact that it had been several years since the Wen Corporation held a jewelry exhibition, they decided to make it more grand and lavish. Old Mr. Wen would also be present at the exhibition together with several other major shareholders.
The Wen Corporation had invited plenty of famous models from China and overseas, as well as some celebrities and A-listers. The guest list comprised of numerous prominent and influential figures of the world of jewelry.
It was said that they would be showcasing some of Mo Yunyao’s designs which had never been revealed to the world before, together with the Winter jewelry series that Wen Xinya had designed for the Wen Corporation. The pieces would be modeled by the models on the runway.
The Wen Corporation’s decisions took everyone by storm and they also looked forward to the jewelry exhibition.
Of course, the theme of the exhibition, “22 Years”, caught the most attention.
The content of the theme had already caught everyone’s attention.
22 years ago, Mo Yunyao became the head designer of the Wen Corporation’s jewelry brand and in that same year, she also made her debut on the Parisian Vogue International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion. It was the most glorious time of her life. At that time, she had also just gotten pregnant with Wen Xinya.
22 years later, Wen Xinya followed in the footsteps of her mother and delved into the jewelry design industry. Like her mother, she became the head jewelry designer of the Wen Corporation and once again, brought glory to the brand.
22 years later, the Wen Corporation was still standing strong in the world of jewelry design!
It was 7:40 PM at night!
The Wen Family’s cars slowly pulled up in front of the entrance of the Shangri-La hotel, one after another. They seemed to glow beneath the white lights of the hotel.
The reporters squatting outside the hotel swarmed towards the cars in a bid to get some exclusive, firsthand scoop on this important day.
The reporters began yelling and flas.h.i.+ng their cameras continuously. All of a sudden, there was a commotion.
At this moment, the car at the back was opened and a few bodyguards clad in black-uniformed suits which accentuated their buff figures came out. They stood tall like mountains and blocked the reporters from getting onto the red carpet.
The other two bodyguards hurriedly opened the doors of the other car.
Old Mr. Wen alighted from the car and walked towards the red carpet.
Wen Xinya then alighted and held onto Old Mr. Wen’s arm.
The two of them stood onto the red carpet.
At this moment, the reporters broke into a frenzy and frantically snapped photos of Wen Xinya and Old Mr. Wen while trying to break through the human wall formed by the four bodyguards.
“Old Mr. Wen, your granddaughter Wen Xinya has perfectly inherited her mother, Madam Mo Yunyao’s talent in jewelry design. What do you think about this?”
“Old Mr. Wen, we heard that you’ve once suggested launching a jewelry brand especially for Miss Wen during one of the Wen Corporation’s shareholders’ meeting. However, you faced the opposition of the shareholders. Is that true?”
“Old Mr. Wen, the Wen Corporation has splurged on this exhibition all for the sake of giving your granddaughter, Wen Xinya, a better reputation. In that case, is the Wen Corporation going to give their full support in launching Miss Wen’s jewelry brand?”
“Old Mr. Wen, rumor has it that you and your son, Wen Haowen, have gotten into several heated arguments because you and he could not see eye to eye in work. Do you have anything to say about this?”
Old Mr. Wen stopped in his tracks and stared at the reporters with his eyes gla.s.sed over. “I’m really glad that you guys are here to attend the exhibition organized by the Wen Corporation. I’m proud of my granddaughter’s outstanding achievements in jewelry design.
“The launching of a new brand requires a ton of manpower, money, and energy. There are some who support the idea and some who oppose it. What I have to do now, is to support my granddaughter and prove to everyone that she has the right to own a brand of her own.
“The main topic today is the Wen Corporation’s jewelry exhibition. I’m sorry, but I refuse to answer other irrelevant questions.”
Old Mr. Wen’s answer was rich and straightforward. He was just trying to say that he would be using the exhibition to push for Wen Xinya’s brand to be established. The reporters were rather pleased with his answer.
Although everyone was interested in digging more news about his relations.h.i.+p with Wen Haowen, they had no choice but to forgo it since it was inappropriate.
Besides, everyone in the circle was aware that Old Mr. Wen and Wen Haowen were on the verge of falling out with each other. Although they had never heard the truth from the Wen Family, the fact that they didn’t deny the reports about their conflict meant that it was true.
Hence, everyone s.h.i.+fted their attention to Wen Xinya who was the star of the night, after all.
“Miss Wen, the series of jewelry that you’ve designed have helped boost the sales of the Wen Corporation’s jewelry stores. You’ve managed to gain everyone’s approval because of your designs. How do you feel about that?”
“Miss Wen, we heard that the Autumn jewelry series that you’ve designed has not only helped the Wen Corporation break their local sales record, they were also widely sold overseas. The results have allowed you to become one of the most renowned jewelry designers in the industry. Do you have anything to say to everyone?”
“Miss Wen, according to Old Mr. Wen, he’ll be helping you push for your own jewelry brand to be launched. This is great news for a jewelry designer. What are your thoughts?”
“Your mother, Madam Mo Yunyao, managed to create fascinating and stunning designs for the Wen Corporation. Throughout the past 22 years, no one has been able to surpa.s.s her. As her daughter, are you going to follow in her footsteps too?”
“Miss Wen, I heard that you’ve already gotten the opportunity to join the Milan World Expo International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion. Will you be taking it up?”
Bombarded with questions, Wen Xinya smiled calmly and said, “I’m honestly very glad to see how popular the Autumn jewelry series is amongst everyone. The sales are proof of everyone’s recognition and approval of my abilities. To all my supporters, thank you!
“As for my own brand, I don’t plan to channel any attention to it for now, because… I still have a long way to go in jewelry design. The Milan Expo International Jewelry Design Compet.i.tion will be the first step towards my debut in the international jewelry design scene. I hope everyone will support me as usual.”
