Chapter 1526 - Theme of the Jewelry Design Competition

Chapter 1526: Theme of the Jewelry Design Competition After she knew about the rules of the competition, Wen Xinya totally had no mood for leisure anymore and immediately returned to the hotel with Mr. Ronda.
This time, the organizers had conceived the design curriculum of a piece of ruby the size of a pigeon egg. The competitors had to expand on the theme of this piece of ruby and design three products.
This design curriculum was an extremely huge challenge to Wen Xinya.
Because Wen Xinya had previously used red as a theme and designed a series of jewelry for the Wen Corporation. Thus, she had already used the ruby theme before.
The red-themed products were already in the market. With Wen Xinya participating in the International Jewelry Design Competition by the Milan World Expo, regardless of the organizers of the Milan World Expo Association, organizers, judges, audience, participants, and even the media, they would all notice Wen Xinya and would definitely know that she had designed the red-themed products.
Now, faced with such a design theme once again, not only did she need to come up with something new, but she also needed to look for a breakthrough in terms of designing. Otherwise, with the red-themed products previously, even if the ruby-themed products she designed now maintained the high standards, they wouldn’t be able to impress the judges.
Instead, they would appear sub-par.
After knowing the rules and the design curriculum of the competition, Wen Xinya could already feel the hostility from the organizers.
Seeing that she looked affected, Mr. Ronda forced a smile and asked,
Wen, you don’t seem to be in a good mood!

Mr. Ronda had been noticing Wen Xinya and knew that she had designed the red-themed products for her family business. The Italians loved red—it was in the flag of their country and symbolized passion and kindness to them.
And the series of red-themed products that Wen Xinya designed really astounded him.
This time, with ruby as the theme for the finals of the competition, it was an extremely huge challenge for her. On one hand, he secretly felt sorry for her bad luck, but on the other hand, he couldn’t wait to see her performance.
Wen Xinya stared at the ruby before her which was exquisite in terms of its size, color, and clarity.
Why is ruby the theme for the finals of the competition!!!

Additionally, three designs were needed instead of only one!
This meant that she needed to maintain absolute design quality for the three products. Otherwise, it would affect her overall results.
Mr. Ronda could understand the anxiety that she was feeling right now.
The ruby theme was decided by the judges of the competition and approved by the Association and organizers. Everyone feels that ruby is the most dazzling among the gemstones, and only a designer who’s able to handle it will be outstanding in their eyes.

Actually, the ruby design theme was suggested by a key judge of the competition. In the initial stages of deliberation, everyone felt that this design curriculum was too simple and had nothing special to it.
However, eventually, the other judges were convinced that the more the curriculum seemed simple and ordinary, the higher the potential for surprising results there were, and the more it could assess the designers’ skills.
Just like cooking—only a true master could use ordinary ingredients to come up with the taste of five-star cuisine.

I regret to not have confessed to my sins when I went to the Grand Church of Milan this morning.
Thus, she was an abandoned child of God to have been so unlucky that she met with such a design curriculum.
Actually, it was sometimes quite useful for fair weather atheists to turn to God in a pinch.
Sadly, even after two lifetimes, she couldn’t understand the real meaning behind this phrase.
Of course, it was up till this moment!
Mr. Ronda couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Wen, you’re so funny.
Saying which, he gave Wen Xinya a pat on the shoulder.
The fact that you can still joke at this point means that I’ve belittled your emotional quotient and worried unduly.

Among the participants that he’d met, Wen Xinya was someone with a better emotional quotient. These few days, while touring around with her, she had really let her hair down and enjoyed herself. He didn’t feel any anxiety or nervousness from her.
Only when one was confident and assured could she possess such an unwavering attitude.
Wen Xinya said,
You’re really confident in me.

Mr. Ronda said,
The ruby symbolizes passion, morality, and magnificence. I believe you’ll become someone as elegant, bedazzling, gorgeous, and polished as it.

Wen Xinya was very touched.
Thank you!

Over the past few days, she could feel Mr. Ronda’s admiration and care for her. Thus, she believed that his words were sincere.
Mr. Ronda had a very serious expression.
Wen, I need to tell you that from now to the time you submit your draft, you’re not allowed any external contact. All electronics will be disabled. Of course, we won’t limit your freedom. However, if you want to head outside, you’ll have to be subjected to our surveillance. Although this seems disrespectful towards all of you, for the sake of the fairness of the competition, we have to do this. Hope you can understand.

The International Jewelry Design Competition by the Milan World Expo was an extremely prestigious competition in the world. Every time it was organized, it would attract all capable jewelry designers of countries from all around the world. In the past, there had been all sorts of negative competitive behaviors such as cheating, framing of competitors, personal attacks, creation of all sorts of accidents to result in participants pulling out, and so on!
And the Milan World Expo Association had learned along the way as they organized each competition and gradually perfected all arrangements and planning of the competition. Now, they had already effectively eradicated such negative competition and made the competition completely fair.
And precisely so, every competition could attract all capable jewelry designers of countries from all around the world and the attention of the world at large.
Wen Xinya said in a serious tone,
Mr. Ronda, I know that the organizers are doing this to ensure the fairness of the competition. So, I understand it.

The International Jewelry Design Competition held by the Milan World Expo organizers had always enjoyed good reviews and the key to it was fairness.
Regardless of the participants or spectators, everyone wished for a truly fair competition.
Mr. Ronda smiled.
Wen, after this, you have to be completely immersed in your own world and complete your design products for the finals. I wish you good luck, my dear!

Mr. Ronda hugged Wen Xinya joyfully.
Wen Xinya naturally wouldn’t reject such a blessing.
Thank you, my friend!
