Wen Xinya and Jacqueline Martin faced each other. The small cheongsam with a silver-white watermarked lotus pattern in ink and color became dignified, solemn, majestic and gorgeous in the moment when all the edge and sharpness were released, showing the grace, elegance and nobility of the ancient oriental civilization.
Jacqueline Madan, who was in the wrong, even though she had the advantage of being over 1.75 meters tall and possessed the innate pride and superiority of Europeans, was still overwhelmed by the warm and elegant aura, and her back, which had been straight and confident, bent down little by little.
Everyone present looked at each other in confusion, not quite understanding what was going on.
The reporters were extremely excited. To them, the more twists and turns and bizarre the matter was, the higher its news value would be.
Wen Xinya saw that Jacqueline Madan understood what she meant, and she nonchalantly put her phone back into her bag: "Ms. Madan, you misunderstood. I was just reminding you."
She is not Jacqueline Martin, who went out without using her brain and spoke without thinking about what was happening to the judges.
As early as when Jacqueline Madan approached her and said insulting words to her, she had become alert. In the competition, in front of tens of thousands of spectators, if Jacqueline Madan took the opportunity to cause trouble, no matter what the result, it would affect her reputation, so she quietly turned on the recording on her mobile phone and recorded her conversation with Jacqueline Madan.
Just in case.
If this recording were to be made public, it would be solid evidence that Jacqueline Madan insulted the contestants, slandered the judges and questioned the fairness of the competition. This would not be something that could be resolved with just an apology.
"Miss Wen, you..." Jacqueline Madan's face was extremely gloomy, and her lead-blue eyes were fixed on the expression on Wen Xinya's face.
She didn't know whether Wen Xinya had really recorded their conversation or whether she was deliberately deceiving her, but no matter what, Wen Xinya's implicit behavior had indeed threatened her.
She also thought about what she had said to Wen Xinya before, and about her own words that confuse right and wrong. If Wen Xinya really had a recording and released it, then her character, her nobility and glory as a jewelry designer would be questioned and condemned. She would then be ruined, and in serious cases, her jewelry design certificate would be revoked, and her life would be over.
Wen Xinya said calmly, "Ms. Ma Dan, please stop before it is too late. I believe you are a smart person and you should know how to make a choice in this situation."
Wen Xinya had no intention of making the recording public.
Because once the recording is exposed, this matter will become a real scandal, and the reputation of the Milan Expo International Jewelry Competition will be affected. Both the organizer and co-organizer of the competition do not want to see this outcome.
Of course, more importantly, this is abroad, in public, if she really takes out the recording, she will not be able to justify herself and explain to everyone the purpose of recording it. No matter what, she will inevitably be known as "scheming", and even worse, some people will maliciously speculate that she deliberately framed Jacqueline Martin.
She had just stepped onto the international jewelry design stage, so she shouldn't be too harsh. If she really forced Jacqueline Martin into disgrace, her own reputation would also be affected.
Now that the matter has developed to this point, it is no longer appropriate to expand it further. As long as Jacqueline Martin apologizes publicly and puts the matter behind her, it will naturally be possible to make a big deal out of a small matter, but it is impossible to make a small matter disappear.
"Miss Wen, I really don't understand what you mean." Jacqueline Madan stared at Wen Xinya, with a strong sense of unwillingness in her lead-blue eyes. She wanted to tell from her eyes whether she really recorded the call or deliberately deceived her and took the opportunity to threaten her.
Jill was furious when he heard her pretending to be crazy and stupid. "Ms. Madan, please apologize to me and Wen immediately, otherwise I will call your mentor and talk to her about the most basic qualities and upbringing of being a jewelry designer. Don't be complacent. There are secret surveillance cameras in the club. If I want to investigate, do you think I won't be able to find out the truth?"
Teacher Gil was very angry. He had not expected that Jacqueline Madan, the runner-up of the competition, was actually a jewelry designer of low quality. She was simply not worthy of being a jewelry designer.
Jill's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Jacqueline Madan. Her face turned pale and she almost subconsciously lowered her noble head.
Her performance speaks for itself.
There were exclamations of disbelief all around, as well as whispered conversations and blatant pointing and talking.
"Oh my God, I can't believe my ears. She actually slandered Teacher Jill and turned right into wrong in front of everyone. It's so despicable. She doesn't deserve to be the runner-up of the Milan Expo International Jewelry Design Competition."
"It is simply unbelievable. Teacher Jill is the most authoritative jewelry appraiser in the jewelry industry. How could she slander Teacher Jill? This is the most serious insult to Teacher Jill and is simply unforgivable."
"Is she slandering Teacher Jill out of jealousy? The Bible, Proverbs 14:30 says, 'Envy is the rottenness of the bones.' Her entire being has been rotten because of jealousy. She is not worthy of being a noble jewelry designer at all."
"Shakespeare said: Jealousy can make a person's appearance ugly and his heart dirty. She slandered Teacher Jill because of jealousy. She wanted to destroy Teacher Jill and the champion of the competition, Wen Xinya. She is simply committing a heinous crime."
"Oh, the runner-up of the Milan Expo International Jewelry Design Competition is actually a jewelry designer of such low quality. It is an insult to the noble profession of jewelry design."
"Oh, I'm so disappointed in her..."
…
Wen Xinya stood quietly in front of Jacqueline Madan, her calm eyes emitting a clear light, as if she could see through the ugliness and filth hidden behind Jacqueline Madan's jealous face.
Jacqueline Madan listened to the voices of condemnation all around her and looked at everyone's scrutinizing and contemptuous eyes. Her lead-blue eyes gradually became dim. Her efforts over the past decade and her bright future were all ruined at this moment.
She didn't expect that Wen Xinya would disregard her dignity and make a big deal out of the matter on the spot, nor did she expect that Wen Xinya's counterattack would be so fierce, and she didn't expect that slandering the judges would have such serious consequences.
Jacqueline Martin stood in the crowd, looking a little dazed.
