Chapter 11: Apprenticeship

Song Qingran took the box in the old man's hand and opened it, and took out the jade again, "You can see clearly with your eyes open, this piece of jade is greasy and shiny, delicate to the touch, and the internal structure cannot be seen in the room light." ”

As she spoke, she took out a small knife from her school bag, and in the surprised eyes of a group of people, the jade bracelet was slashed by her, she glanced down, and then held it up in front of the manager, "See?" There is not a trace of it, indicating that it is very hard. To sum up, this is a good piece of pure natural Hetian jade. As the saying goes, gold has a price and jade is priceless, so 10,000 is not too much. ”

"Or are you just as blind as your employees, manager, and can't see?"

Song Qingran didn't give him a chance to relax at all, she put the jade back, helped the old man and said, "Grandma, I know that there is a store that is particularly honest, not far ahead, let's change it, the people in this store don't know the goods."

The old man looked at her gratefully, his hands trembling with excitement, and he was speechless for a long time.

The manager's face turned white with her anger.

Song Qingran took the old grandmother and prepared to leave, and he didn't forget to give the manager and the clerk a roll of the eyes, but he was stopped by just two moves.

"Wait a minute, little girl."

The voice was a little old-fashioned, Song Qingran paused, and saw the old gentleman who had been arranged by the manager to sit aside stand up.

He took off the hat on his head, and the face under the hat was clearly outlined, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed eyes, and it looked like an old man with a sven language.

The manager seemed to be a little flustered, and he wanted to go over to help the old man, but he was stopped by one hand.

"Sir, they're here to make trouble, so I'll have them kicked out."

"Shut up." The old man's voice was not angry.

The manager was speechless when he was yelled, and then waited for Song Qingran to glance at him with some annoyance.

Song Qingran glared back unceremoniously.

When the old gentleman faced Song Qingran, the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a relatively kind smile.

"Little girl, can you show me the jade bracelet?"

Song Qingran felt that this person's temperament was not ordinary, and coupled with the manager's fear of him, he should not be an ordinary person.

She asked the old lady, and after the consent of the people, she took out the jade bracelet and handed it to the old gentleman.

The man took it, held it in his hand and polished it for a long time, and then put it under the light to observe it for a while.

Song Qingran didn't know why, so he held his breath.

The old man nodded and smiled.

"Yes, it's a good piece of jade."

Song Qingran breathed a sigh of relief and laughed as well.

The old gentleman handed the bracelet to another employee, "Go and get the money for this old man and give it at the market price." ”

The employee obviously didn't know who the old man was, so he didn't dare to agree easily, so he could only look at the manager for help.

The manager hates that iron is not steel, and he teaches them to learn to read words and colors on weekdays, but this time it is like being blind.

"Don't go yet!"

The little girl who was trembling by the manager quickly lowered her head, "Yes." ”

Then prepare cash near the back office.

After listening to this, the old man excitedly said "thank you", and almost knelt down for the old man, but fortunately, Song Qingran stopped him, and the old man was also a little ashamed.

The manager is a good person, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he picked soft persimmons and pinched them.

He smiled and went to help the old grandmother sit down, "Grandma, you can rest first, we don't have so much cash here, they still have to go to withdraw the money, you sit down and wait." ”

The old man was startled by the contrast between his front and back, and sat down uncomfortably.

Song Qingran and Ye Tiantian rolled their eyes at the same time, they couldn't get used to this kind of person the most.

A room full of employees were stunned, no one expected such a big reversal, and the employees who had just provoked Song Qingran were also a little scared at the moment, and followed the manager to please the old man in every possible way.

The old man was an honest man, and he was uncomfortable with them, and he kept refusing.

Song Qingran wanted the manager to experience the feeling of being ignored, so he didn't stop him.

The old gentleman also watched quietly from the side, and finally saw that the old man was about to cry in a hurry, so he said coldly: "Enough." ”

The manager put down the tea in his hand and came to the old gentleman with his head down like a child who made a mistake.

The old gentleman sat down and took a sip of water calmly, "You two have been expelled." ”

Manager, "......"

Employees, "......"

The two of them widened their eyes in shock at the same time, and the next second they began to beg for mercy.

Song Qingran's eyelids jumped, she really didn't see the wrong person.

But this was somewhat unexpected.

She originally thought that this old man was a relatively wealthy and powerful customer, and was personally received by the manager, but now it seems that it is even bigger than this.

Ye Tiantian was also shocked and forgot to drink milk tea.

The employee seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, but obviously did not know the identity of the old man, she stayed in place without a master, and it took a long time to pull the manager: "Manager, you save me, I don't want to be fired!" ”

The manager himself was stunned, and let the employee shout on the side, but he didn't speak.

The old gentleman seemed to be running out of patience, took out his mobile phone and made a call, and after a while, Song Qingran heard the car outside, followed by two young people, black suits and sunglasses, dressed as private bodyguards.

The two respectfully came to the old gentleman and shouted, "Master." ”

Then he turned around and took out a wad of cash and handed it to the manager and employees: "This is your salary for this month, now, please leave." ”

Song Qingran realized that the old man was afraid that they would not want to leave and make trouble, so he called the bodyguards.

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, the two men had no choice but to take the money and leave.

The old gentleman was afraid that he was a little bit of an example, and after the two left, he cleared his throat and said, "It's a guest, and the guest is God." I don't care what your previous manager told you, now I will do what I said, and you are not allowed to look at people with colored glasses in the future, everyone is equal, you know? ”

"Got it." The rest of the people bowed their heads and went about their jobs.

The bodyguard retreated again, and after a while, the employee who went to get the money also returned, she handed the money to the old man, and after the old man finished counting, Song Qingran personally sent the person out.

The old man thanked and praised her again, and Song Qingran was stunned.

After sending the old man away, Song Qingran thought about going back to thank the old man, no matter what, it was the people who helped him a lot.

As soon as she turned around, the old gentleman was standing behind her.

"Little girl, how old are you?" The old man smiled kindly, and his eyes were slightly bright.

"Twenty-one this year." Song Qingran replied obediently.

"Do you have a knack for jewelry?"

"I'm a junior at Nanhua School of Design and I have a little bit of research on jewelry." Song Qingran has always been modest.

Hearing this answer, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Then would you like to apprentice?" ”

Song Qingran, "......"

This question has a deep meaning.

Song Qingran looked at the unfathomable smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, and was a little undecided for a while.

Ye Tian was also a little excited when she listened, and she whispered in Song Qingran's ear, "Who is this person?" Do you know each other? Does he want you to worship him as a teacher? ”

The voice was not low, and Song Qingran felt that the old man could hear it, but he didn't say anything.

Song Qingran thought about it, just shook his head at Ye Tiantian, and then said to the old man: "Thank you, sir, but I don't have this plan for the time being." ”

The attitude is very resolute.

Now it was the old man's turn to be surprised, "You don't even ask who you want to worship and refuse?" ”

Song Qingran shook his head, "It's the same no matter who you worship." ”

The old man choked, as if no one had dared to refuse him so directly.

Song Qingran bowed to the old man, said "thank you", and then pulled the hooded Ye Tiantian away.

As soon as he walked out of the store, Ye Tiantian couldn't hold back, "Qingran, that grandfather just now looks like a master, why don't you agree to worship him as a teacher?" ”

Song Qingran saw that this place was obviously not suitable for talking about this topic, and she didn't have anything to explain, so she smiled, a little unfathomable.

Ye Tiantian was stunned, and felt that he was smiling like a little fox when he saw Qingran.

The two visited a few more stores together, Song Qingran memorized some style images, took some photos, found a random place to eat at noon, and continued in the afternoon.

After half a day, her harvest is really not small.

Ye Tiantian followed Song Qingran to the jewelry store for a long time without complaint, and the two were blocked in a dead end near evening.

Song Qingran looked at the dress, and the people in front of him should be the same people who blocked Ye Tiantian last time when he was learning to laugh, and the target was Ye Tiantian.

There is an old gold shop in this alley, and Song Qingran came to look for it, but as soon as he walked a few steps out of the store, he was surrounded by three or four luxury cars.

The people who got out of the car were sturdy, expressionless on their faces, and looked a little scary, but fortunately, they were all standing in place, and they had no desire to do anything.

After learning Ye Tiantian's identity and story, Song Qingran had already guessed the meaning of these people.

Sure enough, the man in black at the head said, "Miss, the master asked us to take you back." ”

After proving that these people were indeed sent by the Ye family, Song Qingran quietly breathed a sigh of relief and stood silently aside to watch the play.

Ye Tiantian sniffed, "But I don't want to go back." ”

"The master said that if the young lady doesn't want to go back, then knock out and take it back."

Ye Tilt, "......"

Daddy, is this?!

In order not to let herself suffer from some unnecessary flesh and skin, it was better for her to go with them obediently.

Song Qingran didn't stop her this time, but just explained that he could call her if he had something.

Ye Tiantian hugged Song Qingran, "Thank you for rescuing me last time and letting me be free for one more day, this is the greatest luck in my life!" ”

Song Qingran couldn't cry or laugh, "After seeing Ye Tiantian leave, she was tired of shopping.

She didn't want to trouble the driver to pick her up, so she took a taxi back to the house in Qianwan by herself.

Only the aunt who cooks is still in the house.

During this time, Song Qingran found that Zuo Chen didn't seem to like other people at home, the servants all went to work during the day and went back at night, and the aunt who cooked came over at three meal times and left after cleaning up.

In general, no outsiders are left at home overnight.

So sometimes the house can be very deserted.

The aunt said that Zuo Chen hadn't come back yet, and specially explained that Mrs. Zuo didn't have to wait for him for dinner.

Song Qingran nodded, finished eating alone, and left after the aunt cleaned up.

Song Qingran was alone, even the air was a little cold, she turned on the TV, the voice was turned up, and there was some fireworks in the house.

Song Qingran aimlessly switched channels back and forth, and unknowingly turned to the international channel.

At this time, a jewelry design competition was being played, and Song Qingran came to take a few more looks.

When the camera turned to the judges' seat, the old man in a Mao suit in the middle successfully attracted Song Qingran's attention.

The old man had golden eyes, his hair was shiny, his face was peaceful, and his temperament was calm and calm.

According to the host, this is Mr. Liu Yansong, an internationally renowned design master, and is a special guest of this competition.

She has heard the name Liu Yansong many times, and she is very well-known, and Song Qingran also likes the works he designed, and he himself can be said to be worshiped as a god by the students of the domestic design institute.

But because he is a god, Song Qingran has never had the courage to understand, or even fantasize about surpassing.

Seeing Liu Yansong on TV, Song Qingran was stunned for a moment.

This old man Liu Yansong, and the old man she saw at the jewelry store at noon...... Like.
