Chapter 6 The Science of Diamonds

But there's no denying that diamonds are one of the top gemstones sought after by everyone all over the world.

Yan Juan decided to start by studying diamonds, and took her first step into becoming a jewelry designer.

"Manager Yan, why is this one-carat ring higher than the target price of this one-three-carat ring?" Yan Juan pointed to the two diamonds in the window and asked, "Generally speaking, isn't it true that the larger the diamond, the higher the price?" ”

Yan Yixin was happy to answer her question: "Sometimes, people have to choose between brilliance and weight. Most cutters are likely to keep a diamond's weight of one carat, while others will choose the best cut to keep 0.7 carats for better fire. The former loses less raw material than the latter, and the latter still needs to pay for the part cut by the customer. ”

Yan Juan suddenly said: "Oh, so, although the finished product cut out by the cutter is relatively small, the customer still has to pay for the part of the blank that is cut?" ”

Yan Yixin nodded: "Yes." ”

"Sure enough, women can't refuse the allure of jewelry, and I think you look at diamonds as if you want to swallow them." At dinner, Lu Xiang said jokingly.

"Really?" Yan Juan shook his head, "I just want to know more about diamonds, otherwise, what's the difference between working here and working in a convenience store?" ”

"You're such a good student, but you often skip class." Lu Xiang shrugged.

Yan Juan is a freshman, and there are only two days a week when there are no classes in the afternoon. However, her working hours are from 12 noon to 8 pm.

"It's the same with me teaching myself." Yan Juan disagreed.

She had already studied all these classes, and she didn't need to spend any time to easily cope with the exam. So, she spends her time studying the diamonds on her counter.

"I've found that pear-shaped diamonds generally cost more than round diamonds of the same size." Yan Juan asked Yan Yixin for advice, "If that's the case, why don't you all cut them into pear shapes, or other personalized shapes?" ”

Yan Yixin patiently explained: "Diamonds with poor color must not be ground into a pear shape or other more personalized shapes, which will highlight the defects of the diamond intact. Ordinary round diamonds, anyway, are faceted all over the body, and they are particularly easy to shine, so it doesn't matter if the color is almost there. ”

"Oh, that means these diamonds that dare to be cut into a pear shape are of better quality in themselves?"

"Not bad." Yan Yixin has a good impression of Yan Juan's "modesty and studiousness", and answers patiently every time.

"He's not going to have a crush on you, is he?" Lu Xiang asked puzzledly.

"Where did you think you went?" Yan Juan glanced at her angrily, and the two girls who were used to eating noodles and porridge were very satisfied with the dinner provided by the trading house.

"Then why does he always hang out at that counter of yours?" Lu Xiang's mouth was full of rice, but his words were still very clear.

This set of skills has probably been cultivated in many part-time jobs.

"Diamonds are more valuable, while topaz and tourmaline are much cheaper. Do you think managers will pay attention to jewelry that costs 100,000 yuan first, or pay more attention to jewelry that costs only 1,000 yuan? ”

"Then you don't have to go back and forth at your counter no less than five times a day, do you?" Lu Xiang swallowed a mouthful of soup, "Yan Xuan, I look at it, and I think he is interesting to you." ”

Yan Wan glanced at her: "If you like him, please do it." ”

Lu Xiang actually twisted up rarely, which surprised Yan Juan: "Could it be ...... Do you really like him? ”

"He's loved by everyone, what's so strange!" Lu Xiang is definitely annoyed and angry.

"That's true." Yan Juan couldn't help but smile and agreed.

"You...... And said that it didn't mean that......" Lu Xiang took the chopsticks and bit down the last piece of braised pork fiercely.

"Please, I'm just saying that he's really likable, but liking doesn't mean that you want to develop something with him! I like that he's a very knowledgeable jewellery salesperson, not in some of the ways you might think. ”

Lu Xiang asked in disbelief: "Really?" ”

"Of course it's true!" Yan Juan replied without hesitation.

She knew that she would marry Lu Wenjun in the future, but this time, she didn't want him to dump her, but to change directions, and she came to be the one who raised her eyebrows and threw him off.

Lu Xiang rubbed his hands: "Then I'...... It's on? ”

Yan Juan couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly covered his mouth, so as not to squirt out a mouthful of rice that was munching in his mouth.

"Congratulations on your success, turn him straight back to your bed."

"What kind of thoughts are you...... It's so impure. Lu Xiang glared at her dissatisfied.

Yan Juan then thought that she was no longer a mature woman who had been in marriage for three years, but had been reborn as a pure little girl.

"Anyway, this is the final destination!" Yan Wan defended himself in a sneering manner, and his face was already red.

In school, it is common to see the person where she "ends up". As the propaganda minister of the student union, Lu Wenjun has more opportunities to appear in school activities of all sizes.

However, because Yan Juan has to go to work every afternoon, it is often only Chen Xiaorong who goes to the audience.

"You've been busy lately?" Chen Xiaorong asked with concern.

"Well, it's busy." Yan Juan had a faint burnout about maintaining her friendship with her.

You must know that the interaction between her and Lu Xiang is really full of happiness and ease. Comparatively speaking, Yan Juan prefers to be with Lu Xiang, and there are always endless topics to talk about, without having to intrigue.

"What are you busy with?" Chen Xiaorong has a natural interest in everything about her.

"I recently changed jobs, and I worked a lot of hours." Yan Juan reluctantly explained, "What about you? I see that you have also missed a lot of classes, and I wanted you to name me, but who knew that you would not be seen. ”

"Oh, I...... Most of the afternoons were public classes, so I didn't find it interesting. Chen Xiaorong casually said nonsense.

Yan Juan didn't bother to say anything, but just asked as if unintentionally: "Hey, have you seen Lu Wenjun recently?" Didn't he ask us to visit their family's jewelry store? ”

"Oh, we've already been, didn't he invite you?" Chen Xiaorong said as if she didn't care.

Yan Juan looked into her eyes, and Chen Xiaorong immediately instinctively avoided it.

She's lying!

Yan Juan sneered and thought that Lu Wenjun probably asked her to call herself, while Chen Xiaorong simply found an "excuse" for her that she couldn't go, so it became the action of the two of them.

"Really? He didn't tell me about it. Yan Juan pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes looked at Lu Wenjun, who was walking along the Wutong Stone Road.

Even though I've been with him for three years, I still feel handsome when I look at it like this. No wonder Chen Xiaorong has been like a day for several years, grabbing him and refusing to let go. Even if you don't have a name, you are willing to be a junior.

"Yan Xuan!" Lu Wenjun called her name first, which made Yan Juan's heart feel relieved.

It seems that her strategy is not wrong.
