If Xia Wan had not taken the initiative to speak up, Li Sheng would have ignored her.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Xia Wan with disdain. What do you have to say? he sneered.

Have you ever seen foreigners wearing clothing with Chinese characteristics at international compet.i.tions? Xia Wan inquired.

Of course not, replied Li Sheng. Why would they wear clothes designed in the national style? Our countrys strength doesnt match up to other nations.

Xia Wan fixed her gaze on him. Capital University is one of our countrys top inst.i.tutions. Its purpose is to nurture talents for our nation, making it stronger and our people prouder.

If everyone thinks like you, believing that foreign countries are superior to our own, our nation will never become strong.

Overseas, there are indeed places that are more advanced than our country. We should learn from their progress and spirit, but this should not be an excuse to deny our own homeland!

She then turned to the princ.i.p.al. Princ.i.p.al, I dont think we should base our decision solely on his viewpoint.

Theres an old saying that goes, You cant win the battle if you lose the formation.

Even if we are currently not as powerful as other nations, as long as we persevere and work harder than anyone else, our country will not be overlooked.

Our country boasts a rich history spanning thousands of years. In the past, it flourished, and it will do so again in the future.

Professor Yang Ning regarded Xia Wan with approval. Well said, young lady. Your words make sense.

She gazed straight at Li Sheng. Today, on behalf of all the educators in this inst.i.tution, I express our support for the national style design.

She wasnt disregarding the achievements of foreign nations, but as a patriot, she couldnt abandon her love for her homeland.

As a high school student, Xia Wan felt gratified to have such awareness.

Li Shengs expression turned sour.

He glared at Xia Wan. Youre young, but your words are bold.

To create this school uniform, youre merely lending a hand, arent you?

Dont tell me you think that Zhou En alone gives you the confidence to oppose

Zhou En was dumbfounded. It appeared that, in Li Shengs eyes, she was the sole contributor to this project.

At that moment, she simply wanted to make it clear that she couldnt take credit for Xia Wans contributions.

Zhou En stepped forward and said, We collaborated on this project. I initially designed three sets of school uniforms, and then Wanwan a.s.sisted in refining them.

All these elements of the national style were conceptualized by Wanwan.

If you claim that the artistic foundation of these three designs is strong, I can accept credit for that. However, if you attribute these innovative designs to

Wanwan, then I must correct you.

Zhou Ens words astounded even Professor Yang Ning, not to mention Li Sheng.

Zhou En, are you speaking the truth? Professor Yang Ning inquired.

Zhou En nodded. Yes, Wanwan possesses remarkable design talent. I cant compare to her.

She didnt mention the collaboration between Xia Wan and w.a.n.g Peng. If these individuals knew that w.a.n.g Peng was willing to pay a high price for Wan Wans design work, theyd be even more astonished.

Yang Ning regarded Xia Wan with warm eyes. Impressive, my dear. Your design talent is truly exceptional. I hope youll continue to excel in the future.

Capital University warmly welcomes you.

Xia Wan held a deep respect for these university educators who displayed such love for their country. She responded, Teacher, I will work diligently. I came to Capital University with Sister Zhou En because I aspire to enroll here.

Professor Yang Ning nodded. With each pa.s.sing moment, she grew more satisfied with Xia Wan.

Li Ru, who had been ignored, seethed with anger. She scornfully remarked, Not everyone can secure a place at New York University just by desiring it. Given the education standards in your small county, even if youre the top student there, you might not gain admission to New York University.

Xia Wan remained unfazed by Li Rus words and retorted, Even though it was challenging, Sister Zhou En managed to gain admission to Capital University. It seems that Sister Zhou En possesses considerable abilities.

She smiled at Li Ru. Youre a native of the capital city. With such excellent teachers, it should be easier for you to secure a spot at the capital city university compared to Sister Zhou En.

In essence, she implied that Li Ru didnt measure up to Zhou En.

She used Li Rus words to counter her.

Li Ru pointed at Xia Wan, appearing as though she wanted to take action.

Xia Wan stared back at her coldly, unafraid.

The princ.i.p.al banged his hand on the table. The decision about which school uniform design to adopt is not open to outsiders. Its settled.

Seeing the princ.i.p.als determination, Li Sheng felt embarra.s.sed. He locked eyes with the princ.i.p.al and warned, Princ.i.p.al, I hope you wont regret your actions today..
