The final of the Milan Expo International Jewelry Design Competition is in full swing. Wen Xinya visits the official website of the competition every day to check the progress of the competition.
It has been almost three months since the competition began. After the shortlisting and elimination in the second round, Wen Xinya has made it to the finals with amazing results, which has attracted widespread attention in the jewelry industry. Everyone is looking forward to whether Wen Xinya can continue to maintain her level in the final and enter the final round of the finals.
“The Milan Expo International Jewelry Design Competition is your first step towards the international jewelry design stage and is very important to you, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You are only 21 years old this year and have a very high talent for jewelry design. No one doubts your excellence. Even if you fail in this jewelry design competition, everyone will just say that you are too young. In the jewelry design industry, a good attitude is really important.”
Seeing that his granddaughter has been eagerly absorbing all kinds of jewelry design knowledge recently, Grandpa Wen knows that she is under a lot of pressure. In fact, Xinya is already quite outstanding. As far as he knows, Xinya is the youngest among the finalists of the Milan Expo Jewelry Design Competition, and the oldest is 52 years old this year.
Xinya's youth and amazing design talent have been recognized by everyone. Her excellence is unquestionable. When Yunyao was Xinya's age, she did not have such outstanding achievements as Xinya.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I know what I am doing. Grandpa was critically ill before, and I was worried about him, so I have been concentrating on taking care of him. I have fallen behind in the jewelry design class assigned by Teacher Gu Yihan. Although she understands this, as a student, I can't be so lazy all the time. So I will take this opportunity to catch up on the courses I have missed. The jewelry design industry is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. You can't relax for a moment!"
Wen Xinya is quite confident about the finals. Although the finals make her feel a little pressured, such pressure will only become the motivation for her to work hard, rather than a stumbling block that hinders her progress.
Jewelry design has been her lifelong dream. She knows better than anyone how to walk this path and how to walk it well.
Grandpa Wen looked at her with satisfaction, a smile on his face: "You are so young, but you have such insights and understanding in jewelry design. I am proud of you, but grandpa still says that being famous at a young age is not necessarily a good thing, and accumulating strength over time is not necessarily a bad thing. It all depends on how you grasp it."
Over the years, Grandpa Wen has witnessed many young geniuses rise to prominence and then fade into obscurity. Although the halo of a young genius is dazzling, it is quite difficult for them to go higher and further on this path.
Jewelry design is a field that places great emphasis on accumulation. Knowledge, inspiration, and background are all a process of accumulation. The ones who can really go higher and further in the field of jewelry design are mostly those designers who are not well-known but have accumulated a lot of experience.
Of course, given Xinya's talent, no matter which one she chooses, it won't make any difference to her.
Wen Xinya nodded: "Grandpa, I know what I am doing. No matter what, I will continue on the path of jewelry design."
Don't lose yourself because of temporary success due to pride and complacency.
Nor will I become depressed and give up my dreams because of a temporary failure.
Seeing the determined look in her eyes, Mr. Wen was completely relieved and changed the subject, "The sales strategy arrangement for the next generation of collections is almost finished. You did a great job this time. Not only the directors of the company, but also the shareholders in the shareholder bureau, and even the employees of the group are quite aware of your ability."
This sales strategy has been incredibly successful from the time it was proposed to now. Wen Haowen, who has always been afraid that Xinya would stand out within the group and has used his position as the group's president and major shareholder to suppress Xinya, unexpectedly did not interfere with this project this time, contrary to his usual practice.
There is only one reason for such unreasonable behavior, and that is that Xinya made some arrangements to make Wen Haowen have no worries about this strategy.
Nowadays, what Wen Haowen cares most about is the entertainment city project.
Therefore, Xinya must have done something with the entertainment city project.
The entertainment city project is led by Wen Haowen and implemented by Ning Shuqian. The whole project is carried out very strictly and even he cannot interfere. However, Xinya is able to make a fuss about this project. Does this mean that Xinya and Si Jiu's plan to deal with the HZ International Alliance has taken a step further
"The sales strategy for the next generation's collection is my mother's legacy, so I naturally have to do my best to do it well without any mistakes." Wen Xinya knew that ever since Wen Haowen proposed that she take over the sales strategy for the next generation's collection, she didn't know how many eyes were staring at her.
Wen Haowen was not on good terms with her father and daughter, and he used his position in the Wen's Group to suppress her. This was no secret in the Wen's Group and the circle. Everyone speculated whether Wen Haowen had some hidden conspiracy in letting her take over the entertainment city project, and wanted to use this strategy to suppress her and prevent her from making a comeback.
Therefore, many people are paying attention to this matter with a mentality of watching the fun.
The entertainment city project progressed smoothly and caught everyone's attention. In everyone's eyes, Wen Xinya was the winner in this confrontation. She was better than Wen Haowen in terms of ability, means, and scheming, so everyone recognized her more.
Mr. Wen smiled and said, "I proposed at the shareholders' meeting today that you formally join the board of directors, and the shareholders voted unanimously in favor of it."
Although he had given Xinya privileges before, allowing her to freely participate in the meetings of the Dongdong Bureau in the name of learning, it was not justified after all. This time, taking advantage of the sales strategy for the next generation of collections, Wen Xinya's ability allowed her to try to enter the shareholders' meeting. Xinya was in the capacity of an heir, not in the name of learning.
There is a huge difference between the two.
As the heir, it proves that everyone recognizes Xinya's ability. Xinya will be in a leadership position when she enters the board of directors, which will make it easier for her to take control of the board step by step. Once she takes control of the board, she will have great say and decision-making power in the shareholder group, so that she can truly control the Wen's Group.
If she does it in the name of learning, then Xinya will not have much say in the board of directors. She will have to put the directors first in everything and be suppressed by the directors. She will have a long way to go in the board of directors and will have to go through too many bumps and bruises before she can achieve her goal.
This was not the result he wanted.
So over the years, he has never used his position in Wen's Group to give Xinya a back door to join the board of directors, but has been patiently waiting for the opportunity.
Xinya is also quite smart. Facing Wen Haowen's suppression, she has been patient.
Wen Xinya laughed: "This way, it will be much easier for me to act within the Wen Group in the future."
Although she already has a lot of control over the board of directors, it is not enough. Her privileges have constrained her actions in many ways and it is difficult for her to display her abilities. Now that she has legitimate reasons to enter the board of directors with her own work abilities, a new situation will emerge.
