Chapter 20: Enemies
It was only in early summer that I was relieved.
"But it's a serious occasion after all, and you can't dress too casually, you wear a formal dress. Take my car over at night. ”
The auction was held in the lobby of a six-star hotel, and the scene was naturally luxurious enough, and in early summer, I couldn't help but think that using the money from holding such an auction for charity would be enough to help many people.
Chu Xia and Li Xueyang just came to see the jewelry, so they looked very casual. They sat in the press gallery, staring at the necks, ears, arms and other parts of the ladies, and from time to time commented on their tastes.
"What do you think?" Li Xueyang asked Chu Xia.
"There are not many people with taste, but there are many people who show off their wealth. Chu Xia said.
Li Xueyang obviously thinks so, and he said with a smile: "It sums it up brilliantly. Therefore, at present, in China, the value of jewelry is far greater than its ornamental value. ”
"So, my designs are too out of the market, so we President Ye can't look at them. Hatsu said.
"Early summer, to be honest, that's why I didn't like your work in the first place. In fact, I know that you are talented, and you are not convinced to write those words for your reason, but your talent is too high to be cold, and it is not what ordinary people in this world need, which is the sadness of all geniuses. Your design is too artistic, too personal, and you're completely immersed in your own world, without thinking about the needs of others. And you are too high in your bones, you think that you are superior, and you don't need to care about the worldly needs of others, but in early summer, this society is originally secular. You see, the people sitting here, not many of them understand art, but they are either rich or expensive, this society is set for them, and what they don't look down on, they are destined to have no market. Jewelry is a commodity, not an art. Li Xueyang said.
Chu Xia was silent, and Li Xueyang criticized her every word, but everything was true. It's not that she doesn't feel it, it's just that she's not willing to change.
"Seriously, you should thank Mr. Ye, he found you and is willing to give you a chance, and only he can afford to give you a chance, you should also temporarily put away your edge, adjust your design ideas, and win this design competition for him. Li Xueyang said again.
Of course, Chu Xia agreed with what Li Xueyang said, but she suspected that Ye Yun didn't care, "Isn't it just a design competition, maybe Mr. Ye doesn't care at all." ”
"You are wrong, this design competition is very important to Mr. Ye. At the beginning, Ye's Group's acquisition of Lingzhi was a decision made by Mr. Ye to overcome public opinion, and the acquisition of Lingzhi was the first step for Ye's Group to get involved in the luxury industry. Although this design competition will not have a painful impact on him, he will not care. Li Xueyang said seriously.
Chu Xia didn't expect that there would be such a background behind this design competition.
"You seem to be very convinced of him. Chu Xia said.
"Who? Mr. Ye? Who can disobey him. He has doubled the assets of the Ye Group in just seven years It is a myth in the business world, this is what the media said, whether it is really exaggerated or not, I don't know, let me say something I heard personally. Do you know, at the beginning, when the Yip Group acquired Lingzhi, I wanted to resign. But my former employer, Mr. Liu, the former president of Lingzhi, told me that it was definitely my blessing to be able to work under Ye Yun. He said Ye Yun was the most kind-hearted entrepreneur he had ever met. Mr. Liu was wiped out in an investment, and it was a helpless move to sell Lingzhi, but he said that fortunately he met a buyer like Ye Yun, and it was he who made a charitable investment in the name of Mr. Liu, which broke the rumors that Mr. Liu had run out of ammunition and gave him a chance to regroup. ”
This is the first time in the early summer that she has heard the evaluation of Ye Yun as a person in other people's mouths, and she feels that Ye Yun is a successful person for the first time. For the first time, I also felt that at some point, Ye Yun seemed to be more suitable to be an entrepreneur than a painter.
No wonder, she has always felt that it is a bit disrespectful for Ye Yun to bypass Li Xueyang and directly intervene in the design competition, but Li Xueyang doesn't seem to care at all, it turns out that there is this reason.
She looked at the center of the venue, Ye Yun had already arrived, and she was sitting at the main table. He is dressed in a black suit with a bow tie, and exudes a charming aura from the inside out. In the crowd, he can always be seen for the first time.
But such a person, why is there such a big difference between what others say about him and what he says about himself, why does he say that he is like a superficial person who only has power and money in his eyes.
In early summer, she felt a little guilty for "looking down" on Ye Yun before, but soon, her guilt turned into unhappiness. She saw that there was an extra woman beside Ye Yun, and that woman was dressed up to attend, and at a glance, she knew that she was also a heavyweight guest at this kind of auction. She and Ye Yun were too close to each other, which made people have to doubt their relationship. The key is that she is beautiful and outstanding, and she is very worthy of standing with Ye Yun.
Li Xueyang saw that Chu Xia had been looking at Ye Yun, he also looked in Ye Yun's direction, and also saw a woman sitting next to Ye Yun, and Chu Xia's expression at this time was very intriguing.
"You don't know who she is yet, she is the daughter of Kangyun Group, surnamed Feng, called Feng Di, and Mr. Ye has been rumored to have an affair, I don't know if it's true. Li Xueyang kindly reminded Chu Xia, he could see that there was definitely a problem between Ye Yun and Chu Xia, and he also knew that Chu Xia was simple-minded, so he wanted to take this opportunity to remind her that Ye Yun's social relationship was complicated, and she had to consider her own ability to bear it.
Chu Xia listened sullenly, what qualifications did she have to eat this Feng Qianjin's vinegar, but she kissed Ye Yun in love, he never said that they were a couple, nor did he say that he liked her. Besides, Feng Di is the person who should sit next to Ye Yun the most, the right person, talented and beautiful, envious of others, and she is the one who is envied.
Although thinking like this can make her heart die, she just keeps staring at the interaction between Ye Yun and Feng Di. The two of them communicated a lot, Feng Di showed her feminine charm all the time, Ye Yun was very steady, and he couldn't see his attitude towards Feng Di.
The auction process made Chu Xia see what it means to spend money, she is not a person who has an exact concept of money, but at that moment, she really realized that she was really poor. When Feng Di spent two million to shoot an iron sword from the Warring States period and won the applause and admiration of the audience, Chu Xia felt a deep inferiority.
