The International Painting and Calligraphy Competition was a huge event.
There were no reporters or fans at the museum yesterday, when the participants arrived to register, and that was because secrecy measures had been put in place.
Today, when Lisa and Dou Xiangling's car drove into the street to enter the museum, they discovered that the area had been blocked off. Due to the guards blocking the way, there were many who were standing on the streets.
Outside the art museum was a large group of local and international reporters, all of whom had interviewed the contestants who entered the competition venue.
Dou Xiangling looked at those reporters and gave her a pre-emptive warning. "Lili, the reports here today are mostly gossip reporters. They will most likely try their best to dig out your private information to publicize it. Just follow behind me later, I'll do the talking."
Lisa responded with a hum and saw that the moment a car reached the entrance, there were bodyguards who went over to protect the contestants as they made their way inside.
Soon, their car arrived outside the entrance.
The group of reporters stared at the car and acted as if they were ready to pounce over towards them.
The first one to alight was Dou Xiangling.
She wore a water-blue cheongsam today and with the aura of a young lady who originated from an educated family, it made others find it even harder to shift their gaze away.
Dou Xiangling had a rather well-known reputation, and when the reporters saw her alighting, they all became excited.
"Miss Dou, did you already anticipate that you would be able to enter the finals this time?"
"Miss Dou, do you think you will be able to win first place in the competition?"
"Miss Dou, it is rumored that your university classmate has also entered the finals. Before your competition, will you two communicate in private?"
"Miss Dou..."
Dou Xiangling smiled and politely answered with a few social niceties, and cleverly avoided everyone's questions.
The reporters were unsatisfied with her response.
Just then, Lisa alighted from the car.
Her outfit was casual as per normal, a white T-shirt coupled with jeans. However, it made everyone so surprised, to the extent that they could not shift their gazes away.
