After entering the auditorium, Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue hurriedly ran to find Xia Ruya.
"The few large and rare diamonds in the world have all been collected by wealthy people around the world. The Mountain of Light was auctioned off two years ago for 25 million. Although the Heart of the Ocean is not as big as the Mountain of Light, it is worth at least 10 million."
"How can diamonds compare to precious woods like huanghuali? Because huanghuali grows very slowly, it was almost extinct in the late Qing Dynasty. Whenever this kind of thing appears on the market, it is a private collection that is snatched up by the rich. One piece is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Compared with the blood diamonds that are sold at sky-high prices by the United States, precious woods like huanghuali are truly in short supply. Grandma Wen gave Wen Xinya a set of huanghuali wood ornaments handed down from the Ming Dynasty. She wears them often, and you should have seen it."
"Henry Poole Family, located in Savile Row, London. Henry Poole, a tailor family, has been authorized by the royal families of dozens of countries since Henry became the official designer of the French emperor in 1856. The price is secondary to having such a tailor family design a set of clothes. What is more important is that this reputation and quality represent a symbol of status."
After Xia Ruxue and Jiang Yuqian heard the news from Xia Ruya, they thought of their previous stupid behavior and couldn't help but find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
At six o'clock, the students took their seats one after another, and all the lights in the auditorium lit up instantly, shining brightly like daylight.
First, the school director came forward to give a speech, and then the dean of the college announced the official start of the school anniversary. Warm applause suddenly rang out in the auditorium, and the sound waves surged like a tide.
Amidst the enthusiastic applause, a man and a woman walked out from the backstage onto the big stage.
The man was wearing a white suit and bow tie, and the woman was wearing a blue dress and had exquisite makeup on. They were the hosts of today's school anniversary.
After a not-too-long opening speech, we entered into the theme of today's banquet and the school anniversary performance officially began.
Wen Xinya stood in the corner of the auditorium holding a wine glass, watching the wonderful performance on the stage. She had to say that the performance of the Lanfeng College anniversary celebration was of a very high standard, and it could be described as excellent singing and acting.
"I heard that freshman Wen Xinya will also be performing today. I wonder what she will perform. I'm really looking forward to it!" The performance on the stage was in full swing, and the students below were whispering and talking.
"No way! My deskmate is in the student union, and she said Wen Xinya didn't participate in the school anniversary performance."
"Your information is outdated! Three days ago, the student union posted on the forum, confirming that Wen Xinya will participate in the school anniversary performance. If you don't believe me, go to the forum and check it out."
"It's true. Do you know what she will perform?"
"I don't know. The student union hasn't announced it yet."
"I think it's a long shot. I heard Wen Xinya has been living away from home for fifteen years. Even if she has her grandfather Mo Gong to guide her in her studies, it's impossible that she has any extraordinary talents, right?"
"I heard that she originally had no intention of participating in the performance, but because of a vote on the forum, Student Union President Chu personally approached her and asked her to participate, so she had no choice but to participate."
"It seems that she is just a poor girl with good academic performance but no talent at all!"
"Yes! For the daughters of the upper class, what's the use of having good academic performance? Talent can better show your reputation."
Wen Xinya listened to the discussions below and slightly raised the corners of her lips. Everything was just as Xia Ruya had expected. The students in the college who had a high opinion of her now all focused their attention on whether she had extraordinary talents.
Lanfeng College has always focused on all-round development, so most of the students in Lanfeng College are talented. However, she, a talentless and useless girl, stands out even more in an academy like Lanfeng that values talent.
Xia Ruya naturally heard the whispers around her, and came to Wen Xinya with a glass of juice, and asked in a concerned and tentative tone: "Xinya, have you decided on the performance yet?"
She needed to make sure that Wen Xinya really hadn't thought about the performance and was not trying to use any tricks. After confronting Wen Xinya several times, she didn't dare to be careless at all.
"Not yet." Wen Xinya looked at her wearing a snow-white handmade Versace dress. The skirt of the dress just reached the knees, and the pleated skirt looked very elegant. The simple cut made it look grand yet not overly ostentatious.
"The host just asked about it, and Brother Chu specifically asked me to come over and ask you. Xinya, please confirm it quickly!" Xia Ruya looked at Wen Xinya. She was also wearing a snow-white dress, but her snow-white skirt was covered with gorgeous crape myrtle flowers, alternating between white, purple and blue. When she was still, she was in her prime, and when she moved, she was dazzlingly beautiful.
Although they were both snow-white dresses, her dress looked so gorgeous and white, faintly revealing a sense of elegance and nobility. She subconsciously pulled at the small dress on her body, and actually began to dislike that this dress she had carefully selected was not flashy and gorgeous enough.
Wen Xinya frowned, seeming to be in a dilemma: "There are many programs for the school anniversary performance, I really don't know what to perform? Why don't you give me some ideas?"
Wen Xinya's words made Xia Ruya wary. Wen Xinya had always been domineering and harsh to her, so why did she suddenly ask her questions? Was she trying to play some tricks? "You are performing as a representative of the first grade, and you are interrupting in the middle of the show. The students in the college are all paying attention to you, so you can't perform in an ordinary way, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among many first grade students."
"Then what should we do?" Xia Ruya's words seemed to be making things difficult for her, but in fact, she wanted her to completely cut off the way out of finding a random show to perform if she couldn't think of a show to perform. Now her situation became that if she wanted to perform, she had to perform well, or she had to quit.
Xia Ruya observed her expression carefully and found that she was indeed at a loss and uneasy. She thought that this time she had calculated so accurately. She first posted a voting post on the forum, and then proposed to Brother Chu to invite her to participate in the performance in the name of the representative and role model of the first year of high school, which made it impossible for her to refuse. After confirming her participation in the performance, he immediately posted a post on the forum about her upcoming performance to let everyone in the academy know, so it became highly anticipated.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and naturally the greater the backlash.
Whether she messes up the performance or quits, it will make the students in the college extremely disappointed in her, and it will also make her embarrassed in front of all the teachers and directors of the college. Why not do it
Xia Ruya looked at Wen Xinya, hesitant to speak, and after a long while she said carefully: "If you really can't think of a show to perform, why not just pretend to be sick and quit the show."
Backing down at the critical moment would be enough to destroy Wen Xinya's hard-earned reputation at Lanfeng Academy!
