Lan Yu held the teacup and said slowly, "My craft is jade carving, which has nothing to do with 'affordability'." I don't get involved. He took a sip of tea and sighed, "Let the young people come out." ”

Other craftsmen also said that they were full of work and could not participate in the design. Ding Mo turned his head and looked around, and said stubbornly, "Shaodong, let's set a deadline for delivery, Ding is trying to make ordinary people's jewelry." ”

Ruan Mingyu put down the little golden figure and looked at Li Jingshan.

In fact, this list was pulled back by Li Jingshan, and according to the rules, Li Jingshan can ask to take it over alone. But she knew that Ding Mo would definitely not be convinced. Besides, Mrs. He has not signed the order yet, so it is not considered to have officially obtained the order, and it is difficult for her to veto it directly.

She simply bowed her head slightly and said with a smile: "Welcome Ding Ye to join, we have more opportunities to learn and communicate, the little girl can't ask for it." ”

Ruan Mingyu carefully put the little golden figure into the box and said with a smile: "Okay! I also hope that a hundred flowers will bloom in the Treasure Hunt. Then deliver the manuscript on the last day of the winter month. This is also the last time a new design has been launched this year, and it has been closed in recent years."

He snapped the lid shut, raised his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth, "Well, let's add some chips and encourage more craftsmen to participate." ”

Everyone pricked up their ears and waited for what kind of reward the young owner would give.

Ruan Mingyu stretched out his legs casually, his hands and fingers crossed on the armrests of the chair, in a relaxed and leisurely posture, and the essence under the raised eyebrows was shining.

He said with a smile: "The jewelry association is discussing the opening of next spring to hold the first jewelry industry Saibao conference. The master who can get the order this time will go to the competition on behalf of our Jingbao Pavilion. ”

Li Jingshan and Ding Mo were in limbo at the same time. Ding Mo's hand in his sleeve clenched instantly.

After the Buddha's Birthday, the shopkeepers of various jewelry stores in Minzhou found Ruan Mingyu again, hoping that he could stand up and take the lead in setting up his own chamber of commerce for jewelry stores.

Ruan Mingyu repeatedly refused, and finally proposed that the chamber of commerce could be established first, and as for who would be the big boss, it would be recommended in a more reasonable way.

Jiang Yuelan of Guosezhai smiled: "A more reasonable way? Could it be that we want to set up a ring to compete like the people in the rivers and lakes, and the brave is the king? ”

"That's right! Why don't we hold a Saibao conference! Someone on the side immediately chimed in, "The winner deserves to be our master!" ”

Ruan Mingyu turned the Zisha Kung Fu teacup in his hand, and let the shopkeepers talk nonsense before raising his eyebrows and smiling, "All the shopkeepers are right, and I am also in favor of holding the Saibao Conference." It is even a regular competition every three or five years. It's just that this role is not just to elect the big boss. ”

He stood up, put down the teacup, his eyes were bright, and he said loudly: "The purpose of this treasure race should be to build a platform so that more craftsmen and masters can show their wonderful skills; It also allows more guests to see those top jewelry; It's also a great opportunity to promote your store. Do you think so? ”

Before his words fell, everyone applauded. The first Saibao meeting in Minzhou is set for February next year.

This matter has already spread in the Treasure Hunt, and they are all speculating about who can participate in this conference that can make a name for themselves. But I didn't expect the Shaodong family to be selected in such a way.

The crowd seemed to smell the smell of gunpowder.

Ruan Mingyu continued to speak to everyone, but his eyes were staring directly at Li Jingshan: "And this time the treasure competition, Si Zhenfang will also participate." Cheer up, everybody. ”

When everyone was busy responding to "yes", Li Jingshan's pupils narrowed slightly, and she also looked back at Ruan Mingyu fixedly, and responded firmly, "Okay!" ”

After everyone withdrew from the conference hall, Ruan Mo looked at the brocade box in front of him, recalling Li Jingshan's last eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a hint of a smile.

This girl! He knew that he would never admit defeat.

-----

Li Jingshan went out of the courtyard of the meeting, and happened to meet Li Zhang, who came to report to his job.

"Brother Li! What are you doing here? Li Jingshan happily greeted her.

"Come and tell the steward the account."

Li Zhang smiled innocently: "By the way, my grandmother and my mother often ask you when you will come to the house again." ”

Li Jingshan remembered the experience of the last time comparable to going to the Hongmen banquet, and secretly stuck out her tongue, still with a kind smile on her face: "Recently, I have been busy with the pattern design at the end of the year, but I am afraid that I will not be able to spare time." ”

Li Zhang is not good at words, but he is not stupid, so he naturally guesses the reason. His eyes darkened, "It's okay, I'll explain it to them." ”

He took out a bag from behind him and handed it to Li Jingshan, "This is some sweet melon desserts made by my mother, and she specially asked me to bring them to you." ”

Li Jingshan took it with a smile, "Thank you for me, auntie." ”

Li Zhang nodded, and unexpectedly fell out of his bosom a purse, which was the one Li Jingshan gave him back then.

Li Jingshan picked it up and said with a smile: "It turns out that you have been using this." It's all a little worn. Let my mother sew you a new one another day. ”

Li Zhang was noncommittal, took it sneeringly, put it in his arms and put it away closely.

"You don't understand that." Ruan Mingyu's joking voice came from behind him.

"Where can I change the purse that my sister gave to my brother?" He looked at Li Zhang and said with a smile, "Brother Li, am I right?" ”

"Well, yes...... It's not ......" made Li Zhangying not, and shouldn't be either. He snorted twice and said, "It's nothing, I'll go back to the mountain first." He turned around and went out.

Li Jingshan didn't know what the wind suddenly of this usually modest young owner was, so she hurriedly saluted him and hurriedly hid in the handicraft workshop.

Ruan Mingyu watched the two of them scatter, and also sighed about his unhappiness that came out for no reason, which tendon was wrong. He pursed his lips and turned back to the side hall to continue checking the accounts, but he began to feel a little absent-minded.

Half a month later, the workshop masters who participated in the competition handed in the design drawings. It's just that everyone understands that the real competition will only be between Li Jingshan and Ding Mo. Only the two of them have the talent and strength to win the seat to participate in the Saibao Conference.

During this time, Li Jingshan also stayed in the design workshop and went out early and returned late. She also went to Mrs. He many times to learn more about her real needs, and the draft of Jiyi was close to the end of the month, and she had not yet come up with a final draft.

Ruan Mingyu didn't urge, but when he saw that the lights in the design workshop were getting later and later, a little unhappiness came out in his heart.

On this day, I finally couldn't help it, so I went straight to the door of the design workshop and knocked the door.

Li Jingshan looked up and saw him standing by the door, the lights in the room turning the contours of his delicate face half-bright and half-dark, with an amazing three-dimensional effect.

"Okay, I said desperate Sanniang," Ruan Mingyu's voice was a little impatient, "Is this not even eating for a design?" ”

"Ah, that's it." Li Jingshan hurriedly stood up. She was so engrossed in her drawings that she didn't notice that it was so late.

She looked at most of the drawings and seemed a little reluctant to leave immediately.

Ruan Mingyu saw it in his eyes, and his eyebrows were even more impatient, and he counted with his fingers: "Today is the twenty-fourth day of the winter month, and you have been back to the other courtyard five times this month, and only three times have made me a dinner with flowers and colors." Have you forgotten that you are still on an errand in the other courtyard? ”

Li Jingshan patted her head, and then looked at Ruan Mingyu with resentment.

Ruan Mingyu pretended not to see the slightest ticking little eyes, turned around and walked out, "Meet me in the courtyard today." The carriage was waiting at the door. ”

Li Jingshan couldn't, so she had to quickly pack up her things and follow Ruan Mingyu out of the door.

Neither of them spoke when they got into the carriage. But I don't know if Li Jingshan is weak in her heart, or if Young Master Ruan is in a bad mood today, she always feels that the atmosphere in this carriage is delicate - the subtlety of a lonely man and a widow being alone in a room. Especially the young master of the peacock, when he looked at her with that very sultry look from time to time.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die, this journey home is not short, if it goes on like this, will the air in the carriage explode?!

In order to alleviate this embarrassment, Li Jingshan cleared her throat and said, "Didn't you say that Si Zhenfang disdains to join the Jewelry Industry Chamber of Commerce?" Why did you sign up for the Race Treasure Club this time? ”

Ruan Mingyu removed the gaze that fell on her ear and smiled, "Your second uncle has to admit that he has declined." This year, the sales volume of Si Zhen Fang has been declining. Although this year's sales ranking has not yet come out. However, it can be guessed that Si Zhenfang can no longer occupy most of the Minzhou jewelry. ”

He turned the wrench on his hand and smiled coldly: "Li Zhixuan just wants to seize the afterglow of the end and earn back some face by winning the championship in the treasure competition." ”

Li Jingshan felt quite uncomfortable. She didn't expect that in just two years after her father left, Si Zhenfang would not be completed like this. I couldn't help but feel a little resentful in my heart, and said: "Li Zhixuan's wicked man has ruined my father's hard work!" ”

Ruan Mingyu glanced at her, "He is not only defeated by your father's hard work, but also the reputation of the entire Si Zhenfang has been ruined in his hands." ”

Li Jingshan was silent. She knew that he was not just talking about Minzhou Si Zhen Fang, but from the capital to the locality, this signboard of "Si Zhen Fang"!

"Therefore, such a person must not be allowed to sit in the position of the leader of the industry chamber of commerce." Ruan Mingyu saw it and said solemnly: "You are not for your family's personal feud, nor for your personal grudge with him, but for the entire jewelry store in Minzhou City, fighting for a seat in this competition." ”

Li Jingshan was silent for a long time, and whispered weakly: "How do you know that I will definitely be able to defeat Si Zhenfang?" ”

Ruan Mingyu raised his eyebrows and smiled beautifully, "Do you not believe in your own strength, or do you not believe in my vision?" ”

Li Jingshan settled down in that mellow and warm smile, and also showed the same warm smile: "Okay! ”

When she arrived at the courtyard, Ruan Mingyu just wanted to say something next time, but Li Jingshan had already consciously gone into the kitchen to get busy. He looked at her back and shook his head amusedly.

At one moment, Li Jingshan carried the food box, sent it to the upper room, and set the dishes on the table. Just as he was about to stand behind the young master, ready to wait, Ruan Mingyu glanced at her and said lightly, "You can also sit down and eat together." ”
