The day after tomorrow, Chiang Xiao was supposed to return to her home country, but she is feeling quite conflicted now.
Mr. Wen Li said that after the competition ends, there will be a royal banquet, and she would likely be invited to attend.
"This is also an opportunity," Mr. Wen Li said, "Given Miss Jiangâs personality, Iâm sure sheâs not someone who enjoys socializing, but just showing up at the royal banquet would be beneficial for you. At that time, not only the arts circle newspapers in Country Y will report on you, but all the mainstream media in Country Y should report as well."
Moreover, these media outlets have international influence, so her reputation would spread internationally by then.
Chiang Xiao understood that what he said made sense.
In this era, when the media is not so developed, not everything gets reported and spreads across the internet casually.
Only significant events, really significant ones, have such an opportunity.
One could say that opportunities for fame are hard to come by.
Unlike twenty or thirty years later, when any trivial matter could trend.
So, this really is a great opportunity.
Just like good wine fears no dark alley, no matter how talented she is, she still needs fame.
Logically speaking, she should really attend this royal banquet, knowing that Mr. Wen Li values her.
However, the banquet is in five days.
In that case, she would have to postpone her return by at least six days.
Although she would make it back in time for her wedding, she wouldnât make it for New Yearâs Eve dinner, and she might not have time to handle some wedding matters.
Thinking of this, Chiang Xiao felt extremely conflicted.
Upon knowing her dilemma, Liu Guoying immediately smacked her on the back of her head.
"Youâve already come, another few days wonât matter, go!"
"But, teacher, we wonât make it back for New Yearâs Eve dinner."
"Which year canât you have New Yearâs Eve dinner? Missing it once doesnât matter." Liu Guoying waved it off.
In his view, if Chiang Xiao has the opportunity to reach higher, she shouldnât miss it.
"Iâm getting married too."
Chiang Xiao mumbled.
Liu Guoying snorted, "No need to mention it constantly, I know when youâre getting married. But youâre only getting registered first, just a meal on the day, thereâs enough time. Iâll head back the day after tomorrow, and after returning, Iâll meet Commander Meng to explain the situation. Heâll surely understand."
"Teacher, youâre going back first?"
Liu Guoying nodded, "Yes, Iâm not attending such a banquet, and I know you can handle things here now. If I donât go back to spend New Yearâs Eve with your teacherâs wife, do you expect me to stay here eating Western food and drinking coffee every day?"
He showed a look of disdain.
"Iâm really missing your teacherâs wifeâs cooking now, I wouldnât want to stay another day."
Chiang Xiao pouted, "Persuading me to stay while you canât wait to escape yourself..."
"Do you believe Iâll hit you again?" Liu Guoying said irritably, "Iâm already at this age, having fame is enough, but youâre still young, you should strive for it!"
Can you compare to him?
"When you come back with this honor, wherever you choose to go for work after graduation, youâll have an extra asset. Even if you want to be a painter, at least there will be more opportunities to participate in art exhibitions." Liu Guoying said, "I just hope you can reach higher and further. Xiao Jiang, youâre still young, donât be held back by love and men too early."
Liu Guoying sighed.
Chiang Xiao fell silent for a moment.
She actually knew long ago that if she wanted to confront her enemies from her past life, she couldnât be just an ordinary person without any influence or power.
