Chapter 1179: Yan Menglu from Harbor City
After the three-day break, lessons resumed as per normal for the freshmen. The campus became much livelier than before too.
Wen Xinya’s flair for jewelry design was the reason she could excel in her learning effortlessly. In her previous lifetime, she had once studied jewelry design at Qingyuan University and had picked up the basics. Hence, she had a better foundation in jewelry design… In this lifetime, her progress in her academics was rapid. On top of that, she even had the additional aid of her mother’s jewelry design manual. Hence, she had a great headstart compared to her coursemates.
However, she did not neglect her studies just because she had a head start and was talented in jewelry design. Capital University was known for its prestigious and elite jewelry design course, as well as their impeccable teaching methods.
Although the content of the modules of the jewelry design course was standardized, the teachers would still be biased towards those who were talented. Since Wen Xinya was talented in jewelry design, the relief teacher paid more attention to her and wanted to nurture her.
The dismissal bell rang and the teacher ended the lesson. She then s.h.i.+fted her gaze onto Wen Xinya, who was seated in the third row of the cla.s.sroom, and said, “Wen Xinya, come see me at my office after you’re done with school.”
The teacher’s words made the students in the cla.s.sroom break into commotion. Even Wen Xinya was dumbfounded and could not quite recover from the shock.
“What is Miss Li planning to do by asking Wen Xinya to go to her office after school? Is Miss Li thinking of making Wen Xinya her apprentice?”
Most teachers who taught jewelry design liked picking out the more talented students and making them their apprentices. Actually… they were just taking the students under their wing and would put in more effort to teach them. The teachers would also be closer to them and give them more attention. Hence, all of the students majoring in design would do their best to perform well and work hard to catch the attention of the teachers so as to receive special treatment.
“Are you serious? School has only reopened for a few days and the teachers are already planning to take in some disciples. That’s too soon, isn’t it? Besides, we have several students in our batch who are rather talented. Yan Menglu from our cla.s.s is not bad, either. She’s not inferior to Wen Xinya at all.”
Everyone could not believe it at all. After all, teachers would often observe a student’s talent and personality for a long time before taking them in as a disciple.
“I reckon that must be the case. Wen Xinya is so talented and Miss Li has already started paying attention to her right from the start. I heard that she has also consolidated all of the content of the basic modules and handed it to Wen Xinya so that she can read them on her own. She’s already begun teaching Wen Xinya about designing.”
While they were still learning the basic knowledge of the course, Wen Xinya had already begun learning the basic techniques of design and was way ahead of them. They truly paled in comparison to her.
“Oh gos.h.!.+ She’s so impressive! She’s practically a prodigy!”
Although it was just basic knowledge about design, the information was complex and the concepts were difficult to understand. On top of that, there were also plenty of difficult topics and lessons that were hard to grasp. Yet, Wen Xinya managed to skip all of that. She was truly a prodigy.
Wen Xinya could hear them gossiping about her but she did not take it to heart at all, for she had already gotten used to others talking about her.
She was destined to be the limelight of the school of design of Capital University, because of her flair for jewelry design as well as her prior knowledge about designing. She had already prepared herself for it and did not plan to hide herself either.
Hence, it was all just the beginning.
It had been three years since she returned to the Wen Family and she had been keeping her abilities hidden. Hence, it was now time for her to s.h.i.+ne and exude her talent in jewelry design.
“I doubt she’s really a prodigy! Did you guys forget that the Wen Family runs businesses in the jewelry industry too? Wen Xinya just has a head start because of her family’s business. I doubt… she really has talent!”
Her sharp and shrilling voice made her sarcastic remark sound even more provoking.
She was clearly criticizing Wen Xinya under the pretext of beating down the opinions of the other students who had commented about Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya looked in the direction of the voice and caught sight of a girl who was dressed in a red cardigan and a pair of jeans, coupled with a pair of black boots. She was dressed simply but exuded a formidable n.o.bility.
The girl raised her sharp chin which gave her face a perfect shape. Her phoenix-like eyes were raised in a prideful manner and, although her eyes were smaller than average, they suited her face shape and features perfectly. In fact, they even made her look fierce and sharp.
Wen Xinya recognized her to be Yan Menglu from Harbor City. She had been admitted to Capital University together with Xia Ruya. She came from a wealthy family that was even more capable than the Li Family.
Yan Menglu was actually rather talented in jewelry design too and had even gained the recognition of the teachers. Hence, she and Wen Xinya were like s.h.i.+ning stars. However, Wen Xinya was not bothered at all, for she felt that compet.i.tion was necessary for her to improve, especially in jewelry design.
However, Yan Menglu despised Wen Xinya and would often provoke her, perhaps because of Xia Ruya. Yan Menglu even treated her like her biggest compet.i.tor.
Wen Xinya looked away after taking a glance and began ignoring her.
However, Wen Xinya’s att.i.tude came off as arrogance to Yan Menglu. “Wen Xinya, don’t you agree with what I said?” She quipped in anger.
I hate how arrogant Wen Xinya is. How revolting.
Wen Xinya said coldly, “My family does run a jewelry business.”
Since it was the truth, there was no need for her to rebut at all. Besides… Yan Mengly was right about Wen Xinya getting exposed to jewelry design before everyone else did, all because of her family’s business. She would even get an exclusive preview of the latest jewelry designs of the Wen Corporation. Hence, her rich experience contributed to her talent in jewelry design.
Yan Menglu snorted with laughter and said, “In that case, you’ve admitted that you got exposed to jewelry design before all of us did and you don’t actually have any talent.”
She made the derisive remark smugly with raised brows, making her look disturbingly condescending.
