After winning the argument with Du Ruoxin, Wen Xinya felt refreshed and went to teacher Ji Shihan's office.
Ji Shihan was very happy to see Wen Xinya: "I saw the autumn and winter jewelry series you designed for Wen's Group. To be honest... it's really great. Autumn is an elegant and fruitful season. You have perfectly integrated these two characteristics. It's amazing."
She also didn't expect that in just three years, this student's growth would be so rapid, to an astonishing degree. The most rare thing is that she is studious and hardworking, and never prides herself on her extraordinary talents, nor does she become complacent because of her achievements.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, "My design concept is harvest, so wheat ears, corn and other crops have become my design themes. I try to add elements of fashion, luxury and elegance, but I don't want to lose the simple nature of harvest. I originally thought that the works of the Autumn series would not be very popular. After all... my works are all high-end luxury goods. Using crops as the theme is too petty."
She had never imagined that her design work would be highly praised by her grandfather and even launched in all jewelry stores of Wen's Group, with very encouraging sales results.
Ji Shihan laughed, "You're wrong. Crops such as wheat ears, corn ears, and corn are symbols of a good harvest. Who in this world doesn't look forward to a good harvest? Students look forward to a good academic harvest and good grades. The working class looks forward to a good salary and better income. The upper class looks forward to a good business and more wealth. Works like yours have good metaphors, are down-to-earth, and are valuable. They are the most popular."
Xinya has ideas, talent and innovation in design. In the future, she will go faster, more steadily and further in the field of jewelry design.
Grandpa said the same thing before.
Ji Shihan changed the subject and said, "Xinya, do you know why I have been encouraging and recommending you to participate in various jewelry design competitions over the past two years?"
Wen Xinya thought for a moment and replied, "Because my starting point is too high. Although I have good talent, I have limited knowledge. I cannot fully develop my talent, let alone show the knowledge I have accumulated. The stage of various competitions will broaden my horizons and expand my thinking."
Ji Shihan nodded: "You are right, but this is only one aspect."
Geniuses always attract much attention, but they are also the easiest to fall into obscurity.
Wen Xinya was shocked: "What's the other side?"
Ji Shihan said calmly, "This is my test for you. When you choose the jewelry design industry, you should understand that to be an outstanding jewelry designer, you must first have a personality as dazzling as jewelry. However, a personality as dazzling as jewelry is polished. Diamonds will only shine more after being cut, and pearls will only glow after being polished. The beauty of jade is the result of meticulous carving and polishing."
Wen Xinya's heart was beating wildly, and her personality was as dazzling as a jewel. These were the first words she heard from Teacher Ji's mouth.
Ji Shihan said calmly: "Young geniuses are so enviable, so popular, and so amazing. Geniuses always attract much attention, but geniuses are also the easiest to fall into oblivion. Both me and your mother are the best examples."
They are all on the same path and possess great talent, but unfortunately she almost lost her way back then. It was Mo Yunyao who pulled her back. Later, she participated in jewelry design teaching, but Mo Yunyao was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate.
Wen Xinya understood what Teacher Ji was thinking. She whispered, "I have a high starting point and good talent. My future in jewelry design is limitless. However, young geniuses always have various emotions such as pride, complacency, and vanity, which can lead to losing themselves and the essential pursuit of jewelry design. Instead, they are prone to falling into the dust."
"With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm known as a genius. Teacher Ji wants to test my character, so he spared no effort to push me to the position of a genius. If I can suffer setbacks in these competitions, it will be a good polish for my jewelry design career. If I can keep my original intention despite being known as a genius, it will further prove my character. If I lose myself because of the reputation of a genius, all of this is under the control of Teacher Ji. Teacher Ji also has a way to give me a hand and guide me back to the right path. In any case, this is a polish and training for me."
Ever since Teacher Ji accepted her as a student, he has been teaching her wholeheartedly and sparing no effort. However, she did not expect that this time, she would be so well-intentioned towards her.
Ji Shihan smiled and praised softly, "You didn't disappoint me."
Over the years, she watched her step by step walk out of Beijing University, step off the national stage, and into the world. Her face had shown joy, excitement, and even pride, but she had never been confused. She always insisted on the path she wanted to take.
Wen Xinya said gratefully: "Thank you, Teacher Ji, for teaching me so much."
Although she is a young genius, she has a mature soul in her heart. The experiences of her previous life have made her know better than anyone the importance of sticking to her heart. In addition... She also has the guidance of her grandfather and the reminders of Si Yiyan.
What she wants is a personality as dazzling as jewelry, rather than vanity and confusion on the road of jewelry design.
Ji Shihan took out a golden invitation letter: "This is the invitation letter for the International Jewelry Design Competition held at the Milan Expo Center."
Wen Xinya took it in surprise. The gold-plated invitation showed its noble luxury. The sparkling diamonds on the invitation were so bright that it was almost blinding.
Ji Shihan said, "The Milan Expo Center International Jewelry Design Competition is hosted by the Milan Expo Center Joint Pavilion Organizing Committee, the Italian Jewelry Association, the Hong Kong Jewelry General Chamber of Commerce, the Z Country International Luxury Goods Association, and co-organized by the International Jewelry Network and several world-renowned jewelry companies. This jewelry design competition will be your first step onto the world stage. There is still a month before the official competition, so you should prepare well."
Although Xinya has participated in many internationally renowned jewelry design competitions and has gained considerable fame in the world, she still has a long way to go if she wants to truly stand on the world stage, attract the world's attention, and truly step onto the stage of the French Fashion Jewelry Design Committee.
Wen Xinya was very happy. She knew that Teacher Ji's willingness to give her this precious invitation letter was a sign of his complete recognition of her: "Teacher Ji, don't worry. I will definitely not let you down."
She knew how important this jewelry design competition was to her.
