Xia Wanyuan’s opinion was different from everyone else. She felt that there was nothing wrong with the interview. After all, the identity of the interviewer sitting inside was a little unexpected.
God knew how hard Xia Wanyuan controlled her laughter when she met the pair of eyes that had been looking at her affectionately an hour ago.
The interviewers were clearly led by Jun Shiling. No one else spoke, but Jun Shiling asked her a question. “What do you think of the word ‘youth’?”
Xia Wanyuan explained according to her understanding. Jun Shiling nodded in approval, then gestured for Xia Wanyuan to leave. The interview, which others thought was as difficult as ascending the heavens, was easily passed by Xia Wanyuan.
As expected, Xia Wanyuan’s name was on the advancement list.
Looking at her name on the screen, Xia Wanyuan had mixed feelings.
Is this considered as using connections??
“Pfft, stop looking. You can’t be the last ambassador. You don’t even have the experience of going abroad to communicate.” After tearing apart that layer of skin, Li Na no longer hid her disgust for Xia Wanyuan. In this disgust, there was a hint of jealousy.
“It’s not that I don’t care. What’s important is that you can’t be.” Xia Wanyuan knew that Li Na had come to China for this spot.
She did not care about the position of ambassador, but since Li Na had stolen her painting, she would never let Li Na successfully get this spot.
“Then let’s wait and see.” Li Na scoffed at Xia Wanyuan’s words. I have the support of the Blue family and Master Danny’s protection. I have to get this spot.
“Then let’s wait and see.” Xia Wanyuan turned to leave. She took a step forward and stopped. She turned around and smiled at Li Na. “Goodbye, thief.”
Li Na was so angry that her heart choked. She had been praised for her good character and education since she was young. When had she ever been called a thief? These words were too harsh.
After Xia Wanyuan left, Jun Shiling was waiting for her in the car.
“Your performance today was not bad.” The moment Xia Wanyuan got into the car, Jun Shiling began to praise her.
“Why are you opening this back door for me? What’s the use of my status as an ambassador?” Xia Wanyuan sat in the car and consciously placed her leg on Jun Shiling’s lap for him to massage.
“It’s useful. This identity is much more dazzling than any champion. This is a chance for you to show the world your face. Besides, aren’t you too humble towards yourself? I wanted to get you in through the back door, but your performance was too good. How could I have a chance?” Jun Shiling patiently massaged Xia Wanyuan’s legs.
“Is answering a question considered good performance?” Xia Wanyuan was a little confused by the judges.
“Clear logic, nimble thinking, natural and unrestrained. Outstanding appearance, dignified and polite with a strong aura. If this isn’t good, then who is?”
“…” Xia Wanyuan was skeptical. She had a feeling that Jun Shiling was framing her.
The selection for this round would be handed to the national level for the selection. For this group of people who advanced, the country would organize another selection meeting to select the final ambassador.
The next day, Xia Wanyuan was still in class when the school received the final test notice. Principal Yang knew that Xia Wanyuan had entered the final test and was about to float when he walked.
The Xia Wanyuan we had unintentionally recruited was too hardworking. How much glory had she brought to our school?
Facing Principal Yang’s earnest exhortations, Xia Wanyuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Principal, it might not be me who’ll be the ambassador eventually. Aren’t you too happy now?”
“I have confidence in you. I have a feeling that you can definitely do it.” Principal Yang had a kind of honey trust in Xia Wanyuan.
Just like that, with the eager hopes of the school leaders, Xia Wanyuan went to the venue of the final test and met Li Na again. This time, Xia Wanyuan didn’t even look at her properly, making Li Na furious.
There were a total of ten contestants in the final test. They still used structured interviews, but there were some group discussions in the middle.
Xia Wanyuan had never felt that she would be chosen for this, so her mentality was especially calm. She basically answered whatever she thought of without any hesitation.
When the contestants were interviewing, the recording was open to the relevant leaders the entire time. They also had votes in their hands. In the end, they would combine the leaders’ votes with the examiners’ votes to determine the final candidate.
Xia Wanyuan did not expect that an interview would take up a day. The questions of the examiners were strange and all-encompassing. They suddenly wanted to trap the contestants. Xia Wanyuan’s mentality was good, and she calmly countered every move.
At five in the afternoon, the day’s interview finally ended.
“Everyone, wait a moment. We’ll calculate the scores now. Everyone, confirm before leaving.”
Another hour of waiting. At six in the afternoon, the examiner finally arrived with everyone’s results.
“Although everyone is outstanding, I’m sorry to say that we can only choose the one who suits the most in this ambassador selection. Congratulations, Miss Xia Wanyuan, for successfully standing out with a high score of 95 points. The selection process is open to the public and done under everyone’s supervision. If there are no objections, please sign on the report card and you can leave the venue.”
“I have a question.” Li Na raised her hand.
“Miss Li Na, what’s wrong?” The examiner smiled and walked to Li Na.
“Shouldn’t the Chinese ambassador for America be the bridge between the two countries’ cultures? This Xia Wanyuan didn’t even have the chance to study abroad. Why can she enter this selection? I doubt the fairness of the selection.”
When Li Na said this, the other contestants from America also expressed their displeasure.
The examiner looked at Xia Wanyuan’s information and boldly asked everyone to stop the commotion. “Miss Xia Wanyuan has just been recruited by the International Painter Association as a permanent member. Furthermore, Miss Xia’s songs are ranked in the top ten on America rankings. If she’s not considered a bridge between the two countries’ cultures, then what do you think is?”
“What? A member of the International Painter Association?!!” Li Na shouted in disbelief.
The International Painter Association was a place that many painters dreamed of. Master Danny had entered the association when he was 40 years old and had already set a record for the association. How old was Xia Wanyuan?? How was this possible?!
Not only was Li Na shocked, but even Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised. She had never applied for a member, and she had only heard the name of this member once from Lin Man.
Today was destined to be an extraordinary day. When Xia Wanyuan participated in the interview without knowing anything, the international painting industry had already exploded because of the new member list released by the Painter Association.
This association that represented the most important association in the international painting world had actually recruited a young female painter who was only 22 years old, from China, and even specialized in Chinese painting.
