Chapter 838: Chapter 7: Rivals to Beauty
Lady Serlin’s appearance added yet another layer of intrigue to the welcome event. Everyone knew the famous Lady Serlin had been widowed at a young age. Although no one could determine her true age from her appearance, judging from her daughter Aisha’s age, it was guessed she was at least around forty.
However, no one present truly regarded her as an aging old woman. In everyone’s eyes, she was the captivating young lady with striking beauty. Moreover, this lady was not just an ornamental figure; she managed the vast wealth of the Roster family single-handedly.
The male students in the grand hall were eager, thinking about showcasing their skills at the welcome event.
The welcome event continued as Michael introduced the delegations from various countries one by one, with the United States taking the lead as the host.
Zhou Ziang also returned to the side of the American delegation as the leader of the American exchange student delegation.
Amid the American delegation, Zhou Ziang’s black hair and brown eyes stood out among the blond and blue-eyed Americans. Surrounding whispers arose: "Why is there an Asian face among the American representatives."
"He was dancing with the female students from the Chinese delegation just now. Don’t say this exchange event is a China-America collaboration, that’s unfair."
The leaders of the exchange students, although they did not directly participate in exchange activities, were essentially the heads of the exchange students, directly responsible for supervising and coordinating the specific activities of the exchange students.
Zhou Ziang was quite unconcerned, not taking those remarks to heart. Miss Aisha couldn’t stand it, snorting coldly: "Who dares to speak ill of our leader? So what if he’s Chinese, he’s also the youngest Senior Researcher in the history of Mengshan Company. If anyone questions his qualification as a leader, it means questioning Mengshan’s ability to select talent."
The crowd was in uproar; a Senior Researcher at Mengshan is equivalent to an internationally top-tier expert. Serving as the leader of the American exchange delegation signifies that his abilities are at least above the Gold Grade, excelling in both knowledge and capability. Such talents are ones that every country must attract and cannot afford to offend.
Once Zhou Ziang’s identity was confirmed, the previous controversy immediately shifted to a unanimous stance.
"So it’s not China-US collaboration; it’s China deploying beauty tactics to draw in the US leader."
"Indeed, the Chinese female student doesn’t even evaluate herself properly. Even Miss Aisha herself defended him; how could a little girl possibly entice someone like him."
Next was the self-introduction of the American exchange student delegation. The individuals sent by the American delegation truly exemplified the United States as a nation of cultural diversity. Besides the yellow-skinned leader Zhou Ziang and the blonde American beauty Aisha, there was also a red-haired, wax-colored Australian Aboriginal female student Perry, and a black-skinned male African American student Suo Luo with Kenyan ancestry.
Four people, four colors, their mixed skin and hair colors were even more vibrant than the American flag.
"Ding, ding, ding," after the American delegation members completed their simple introductions, Celeste made another unexpected move.
She held a glass in one hand, with a silver spoon in the other hand, gently tapping the foot of the glass to make a crisp sound, drawing everyone’s attention.
"Tonight is the feast of international different cultivators. A banquet, wine, music, and self-introductions are mere ordinary formats of welcome receptions. We need to add some distinctiveness, so as not to waste everyone’s honor as different cultivators."
Lady Serlin’s words came at an opportune moment. In this international different cultivator exchange event, young different cultivators are the mainstream. Though these cultivators possess decent strength, they still lack some refinement. Just like a bottle of slightly bitter tequila, the liquor is good, but it needs some salt or lemon slices to eliminate bitterness.
Michael, an expert at creating atmospheres, immediately understood Lady Serlin’s intention and picked up the conversation, "Lady Serlin’s suggestion is wonderful. The self-introduction by the American delegation just now wasn’t sufficient for mutual understanding. To ensure smoother division of labor in the upcoming exchange activities, I propose that everyone present tonight showcases a skill that matches their strength."
"Good proposal," echoed Ye Heng and others eager to show some of their abilities in front of everyone.
