Rumors really have a way of striking directly at one’s heart.
Even though they were just hushed discussions behind closed doors, once they reached the ears, they could emit earth-shattering noises.
That evening, Huo Zhao left An Yang’s apartment and before leaving, he sent a message to An Yang, "Your sister is about to go abroad, I’m heading home to pack."
The rascal didn’t do as he’d hoped, cheerfully replied with two words, "Okay."
At least, wherever this person went now, he wasn’t as traceless as before.
Two days later, Shi Lan represented Yunlian Studio and set off for an international mission.
At this time, probably the whole world never expected that a twenty-two-year-old female artist would represent traditional culture and folk handicrafts at a significant international cultural exchange and heritage event, and was scheduled to give a two-day speech.
But for Shi Lan, this was just another ordinary event. The war robe that had been previously hung in a display cabinet by Long Yuying was now worn by Shi Lan. She was showing off the country’s excellent folk art to the whole world, like a walking exhibition cabinet, gaining favor and praise from many international artists.
Soon after, the video of Shi Lan’s speech caused a significant reaction on various international platforms, which then spread back to her home country.
Without any warning, hashtags like #AnLanInternationalSpeech, #AnLanEmbroideredSuit, #AnLanHiddenBoss, and so on, successively trended on the hot search lists.
Pedestrians hadn’t even reacted to what had happened before they heard the sky-shattering screams of An Lan’s fans.
@AnLanALittleLazy: "My god, am I dreaming? Is that our homebody girl attending the international cultural exchange? Ahhh! That pure English, mama is so proud!"
@ErBaoOutOfInk: "I was thinking yesterday whether my idol had any activities this year, but here I get a surprise. Out of nowhere, she’s attending an international art exchange conference, my Lord, doesn’t she look too cool in that suit?"
@RainOrShine: "So, An Lan is the hidden boss behind Yunlian Studio, right? I listened to it with my barely passed CET-4 English skills and got half of it, can someone tell me if that’s what she meant?"
@IAmLanBao: "I really can’t keep up with the growth rate of my idol, is she on a rocket? Oh my, when I thought she was still farming at home, she was already on the international speaking stage! I suspect by the time I graduate from college, she’ll be in outer space!"
Yancheng suddenly became lively because of this event.
An Lan’s proud level of English proficiency held authority and talent firmly in her grasp.
Her embroidered suit alone outshined the artists from other countries present at the venue, a truly exhilarating display, delightfully satisfying.
Moreover, her identity as the secret owner of Yunlian Studio was revealed. Everyone immediately understood why Yunlian Studio had won so thoroughly against Long Yuying. Now in hindsight, Long Yuying was simply overestimating herself. After all, ever since her comeback, Comrade An Lan had never lost.
Now that Long Yuying saw the news, she was at home, relieved that she hadn’t fought Chen Yunlian to the bitter end; otherwise, she might not even know how she had died.
Who would have paid attention to such events in the past?
Because the guests at the exchange were usually the most prestigious veteran artists, there wasn’t much attention from the youth.
But now, with Miss Shi making a powerful entrance, igniting passions at home and abroad, she returned home covered in glory...
