Chapter 584: This Was a Slap in the Face
[Jiang Yuning is really amazing. She really did everything in her own capability.]
[You can already see everyone crying as soon as they saw everything that the media posted on the internet today.]
[I really feel that Jiang Yuning is simply too cool tonight!]
Jiang Yuning’s n.o.bleness and alienation also drawn a lot of attention from the other foreign artistes tonight.
This was because Jiang Yuning intentionally showed a very domineering and cold att.i.tude, regardless of whether the foreign media would say that she was cold, arrogant or very negligent in her att.i.tude and personality. As the host of the event, they had already arranged the best arrangements and service for all of the foreign artistes here today. However, Jiang Yuning wanted to show them the official side to it.
Generally speaking, the entire dinner banquet proceeded smoothly but there would still be a media interview after the dinner. Moreover, there would also be a group of unkind people who liked to embarra.s.s others and those who are present here today. It seemed as though this was their hobby or interest.
After the dinner that night, Jiang Yuning still had another task and that was to send Miss Dinghua back to the hotel safely.
However, as soon as they were about to leave the Jinxiu Political and Cultural Center, they were intercepted by many of the foreign reporters and media. After all, Jiang Yuning had been stealing all the limelight and it seemed as though she had deliberately distanced herself from the other foreign artistes at the dinner tonight. Therefore, it was obvious that she did not have a good reputation amongst the foreign media.
Jiang Yuning was already prepared to be questioned and she had everything at her fingertips. When the foreign media saw that they could not embarra.s.s Empress Jiang at all, they quickly increased the difficulty level and the other party’s fluent English sounded very annoying at this time.
“Since your partic.i.p.ation in the cultural exchange event is so successful, what do you think of the previous artistes who had partic.i.p.ated in this event in the past? Do you think that they were not successful at all?”
Were they trying to cause trouble for Jiang Yuning?
As soon as Dinghua heard their question, the expression on her face changed immediately and she wanted to leave as she held onto Jiang Yuning’s hand. However, Jiang Yuning patted her hand gently as she a.s.sured her that she had it under control.
“No, I cannot say that they were not successful at all. In fact, there is a huge difference because this cultural exchange events were all held abroad in the past. In order to express our friends.h.i.+p and respect for the other country, our artistes had to incorporate the country’s elements and characteristics into their style and outfits.”
The implication was clear at this time. If they wanted to diss her country, then they would be dissing the elements and aesthetics of their own country.
In fact, Jiang Yuning’s response did not only avoided any comparisons at all but she also preserved and defended the face and reputation of all the previous artistes who had represented their country. Moreover, she also gave a very beautiful response by including the aesthetics of the other countries.
“Moreover, I cannot say that my style or outfits could be considered a success because my style and outfit is actually very common in our Chinese traditional culture. After all, almost every woman in Luo City would be able to pull off the same exact outfit as me.”
In the second half of her reply, Jiang Yuning belittled herself by placing herself in a public position. This was so that she could imply that their country had a lot of good things and the style and outfits that the foreigners had witnessed today was just a small drop of their exceptional culture and heritage.
“Excellent!” Dinghua could not help but applaud Jiang Yuning at this time.
Her words were simply of a different level and standard.
The foreign reporters and media were all at a loss for words at this time.
“There are also people who are commenting that you are the face of this cultural exchange meeting today. What do you think about this statement?”
“I did not see any such statements at all. As far as I know, I think most of the people are actually more focused on discussing the inheritance and development of our intangible cultural heritage,” Jiang Yuning quickly denied the foreign media’s statement.
“Are you implying that we made a mistake?”
“That is probably the case. After all, you could also mistake someone else as me in your photographs so wouldn’t it be normal for you to get the content wrong?”
Foreign media: “…”
When Jiang Yuning saw that the other party was finally speechless because they were utterly embarra.s.sed, she took the initiative to end the interview. “If there is no other questions, we would like to leave now. Thank you for your questions.”
After that, Jiang Yuning helped Dinghua to get into the black car.
…
“Yuning, you are really amazing. Do you know that it has already been a long time since I see someone dealing with the foreign media so eloquently? I am really very happy today.”
Dinghua could not help but smiled as she gave Jiang Yuning a thumbs up as soon as they got into the car.
“I think that after tonight, I will never be eligible for any international awards in future. I think that the foreign media will definitely make sure that I am blacklisted,” Jiang Yuning replied as she stretched her neck and twisted her waist before taking off her high heels. She could finally relax and be herself again.
“You are really a very intelligent young girl. You did this on purpose so that you would not leave any traces of affection on the other party.”
Jiang Yuning smiled before she nodded gently.
“I can tell…”
“If you were not married, I would definitely try and make you my granddaughter-in-law. However, I have to admit that your husband is also an extraordinary man and the both of you make a really beautiful couple.”
In fact, Jiang Yuning had always known this.
They were a perfect match.
In fact, the local media had been waiting for the formal dinner to end but even after the end of the dinner, they did not managed to get any more news at all.
After Jiang Yuning was annoyed by the foreign reporters and media, the security at the Jinxiu Political and Cultural Center escorted Jiang Yuning and Dinghua out of the venue through the backstage. However, someone on the scene managed to capture and secretly film the interview that Jiang Yuning had with the foreign reporter. Even though the angle was a little strange, it did not prevent the netizens from hearing Jiang Yuning’s voice at all.
The foreign reporter asked her three questions in total and Jiang Yuning answered all of the questions in a very witty manner.
This was especially so for the first question because she preserved the face and the reputation of the previous artistes who had partic.i.p.ated in the cultural exchange event in the past. In fact, all of them felt very grateful towards Jiang Yuning at this time.
The way that Jiang Yuning answered the last question was also worthy of praise because she was calling the foreign media out for misplacing photos of her and for wrongly identifying her as someone else instead. This was a slap in the face.
This counterattack was a full and perfect score!
[Even though the artistes who attended the cultural exchange events in the past were really lacking, Jiang Yuning successfully answered all the tricky questions tonight. This made me feel that the aesthetics of the foreign countries were really wrong and they thought that it was really pleasing to them.]
[Hahaha! Empress Jiang, this is really perfect for the team!]
[Empress Jiang, is it really okay for you to do this? However, I really want to tell you that you are really beautiful and even if you want to laugh at the crowd, only we should be able to laugh at our own people! The foreign media are nothing at all!]
[Oh my G.o.d. How smart is Jiang Yuning? She even came up with an excuses for the artistes that embarra.s.sed themselves in the cultural exchange event in the past.]
[Hahaha. No matter what it is, the elements of the other countries could never be compared to our own!]
[Jiang Yuning did not only preserve our face and reputation today, but she also did not despise other people’s aesthetics and culture.]
[I agree!]
All in all, Jiang Yuning’s performance today had once again refreshed her image in the eyes of the public. In addition to the Dongdong incident prior to this, there should be no further black material on Jiang Yuning in the future.
Jiang Yuning did not pay much attention to all of these follow ups. She was only focused on the fact that she would have to join the crew to start filming her movie shortly after this event was over.
In fact, the person who was most satisfied with how the cultural exchange event turned out was none other than Grandpa Lu.
Even though the man was already old, he was very sincere towards his country.
As soon as he found out that Jiang Yuning shone exceptionally during the cultural exchange meeting, he could not help but asked the butler to help him to search for the beautiful pictures of his granddaughter-in-law.
When Chen Jingshu told the old man about how Jiang Yuning dealt with the foreign reporter, the old man was so pleased but he could not show the expression on his face. This made Chen Jingshu feel that the situation was even more hilarious…
