Chapter 269: A Shortcut to Design

When she went to work in the morning, Yan Wan covered her ears and asked Yan Yixin to put her in a place where she left the company.

"Who doesn't know the relationship between us, you still have no silver here......" Yan Yixin reluctantly stepped on the brakes.

"That's different, if you don't go out in and out openly, your grandfather can't do anything to you, let's just cover our ears and steal the bell." Yan Juan smiled and said, "Besides, the air in the early morning is so good, I take a walk to just eat." ”

"Did you eat anything in the morning?" Yan Yixin smiled bitterly and could only say goodbye to her.

Yan Juan smiled and watched his car go away, and then walked slowly towards the company.

"Didi!" The horn sounded, and Yan Juan thought he had walked to the roadway for a while. I flashed to the right, and I was standing on the sidewalk!

"Yan Xuan, come up, I'll send you." Zhang Qing's head pinched out, revealing a smiling face.

"No, I'll be at the office soon." Yan Juan shook his head.

But Zhang Qing still followed behind her, Yan Juan didn't want to provoke the anger of the car owners behind, so he could only pull the car 'door' and sit in the passenger seat.

"Your own car?" Yan Juan was a little surprised, Zhang Qing's salary was not as good as herself, this car seemed to be a Porsche, she remembered that Yan Yixin also had one, but she didn't drive it recently.

"Friend's." Zhang Qing shook his head absently.

"What kind of friend, willing to lend you such a good car to drive?" Yan Juan just asked casually, but saw a little embarrassment on Zhang Qing's face.

"Ah, by the way, I heard that you have passed the preliminary round of this competition, congratulations." Yan Juan hurriedly changed the subject, "We can compete in the rematch." ”

"I'm no match for you." Zhang Qing smiled disapprovingly, "Actually, it's just to join in the fun, and if I can enter the semi-finals, I will complete the task." As for winning the grand prize, this glorious task is 'handed over' to you! ”

Yan Juan couldn't cry or laugh: "Is there a person like you?" ”

"You've got one right in front of you." Zhang Qing parked the car in the underground garage, "Let's go, Director Yan." ”

"Don't scream, I'm not the director." Yan Juan shook his head.

"It's going to be soon, so you have to do it at the Grand Prix! Why have you been there all day this week? Zhang Qing suddenly felt strange, "Aren't you going to class in the morning?" ”

"This week, we are going to do an internship, and I 'handed in' an application form, so I don't have to go to class this week."

"How did Liu Xiangling ......?"

"She's a mechanical student, not in the same department as us."

"Oh, yes. You are studying Chinese, how did you come to a jewelry company for an internship? Zhang Qing asked amusedly.

"The secretary of the company is also a professional counterpart, and he doesn't have to go to school!"

"That's right, anyway, it's OK for Mr. Yan to write an internship review for you at that time."

"Of course, with such a good resource not to use, I am not so high!" Yan Juan raised his eyebrows proudly.

Yan Juan 'spent' the morning to draw the design drawings, looking at the colored stone in his hand, he was still amazed.

"Wow, what a beautiful stone!" Liu Xiangling came in to 'hand' over the design drawings, and when she saw Yan Juan playing with the colored stones, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course!" Yan Juan was very proud.

Yan Yixin took the risk of staying in Brazil for an extra day, but it was all to get this stone!

There you have it. Only then do you have more room for your own design.

"Is this a 'jade' stone?"

"No, it's supposed to be an organic gemstone, the same species as pearls, ivory, tortoiseshell, coral, amber, etc."

"It's not much better than 'jade' stone, right?"

"It's a fossil." Yan Juan wore white 'colored' gloves and carefully put them away, "But there are not a few such beautiful fossils in the world." ”

"Yan Xuan, do you plan to use it to design your work for the competition?" Liu Xiangling asked.

"Well, what do you think?"

"I've seen the previous editions of the competition and think the judges prefer metalwork. Three of them were gold jewellery winners, and two platinum jewellery won the title. ”

"It's only 10 in total." Yan Wan Shen 'groaned'.

"Yes, there is a diamond, a ruby, a sapphire, and a chrysoberyl. I don't think the judges will give this gemstone too high a score, although we think it's beautiful, but it's not hard after all. ”

"I know, but I love this ammolite very much." Yan Juan couldn't bear to give up, "Moreover, I don't want to hit the championship, I have also studied the works of the second prize in various years, and many of them are mid-range gems." ”

"Who doesn't stare at that champion......" Liu Xiangling muttered.

"Of course everyone wants to be a champion, but I'm not good enough. To win the second prize is enough for me. This competition is not a newcomer award, almost all the well-known designers participated. If Liu Li hadn't submitted for the Jewelry Oscar Awards, he would have participated this time. Strong players are like forests, I don't dare to think of the second prize! ”

"But the jewelry you designed surpassed Liu Li's on the sales list." Liu Xiangling is completely the *** of Yan Juan.

"Awards and commercial sales are different, the commercial one is due to publicity, and the other is due to catering to the psychology of consumers, but the award does not have these factors, considering the design of the new, the process of 'refined' Zhan."

"The craftsmanship is not what we do...... Liu Xiangling blinked, "I don't have to worry about you when the design is new, your design has always been the best!" ”

Yan Juan smiled dumbly: "In fact, as long as Liu Li puts a little more effort into it, the sales of his works will not be lower than mine." We are almost on par with each other in the company's internal rankings. He's just a little lazy, and if you look at the Black Diamond sale this time, the bookings on his side are significantly better than mine. ”

"That's because he has a foundation, and you're still new to the design world!" Liu Xiangling said unconvinced.

"You can't let yourself lie behind someone else because of this." Yan Juan looked at her and said seriously, "In the design world, there is almost no seniority. There are often geniuses who are born out of thin air, and they are above the old-timers at a young age. ”

"Just like you."

Yan Wan smiled: "No, I'm not a genius, I'm a late bloomer, and I didn't get into jewelry design until college." ”

"I'm very satisfied to be able to reach such heights."

Liu Xiangling looked envious, "Actually, you don't have to go to school, that diploma is useless for you!" If you like literature, wouldn't it be much easier to flip through the pages when you want to read them? ”

"That's not the case...... I was so easy to get into college. How can you give up halfway? Am I not Bill? Gates, he has the courage to drop out of school. Yan Wan shook her head and insisted on completing her studies.

"I've heard that a lot of designers choose to study in Paris."

"yes, it's a shortcut to success." Yan Juan smiled disapprerovingly, "It may not be impossible to cultivate outstanding designers locally, so it's better to open your eyes in the past." Maybe after I graduate from university, I will choose to go to Paris as well. ”

"Why don't you go now?" Liu Xiangling looked at her eagerly.

"I'll finish my studies." Yan Juan still insisted.

"However, Chen Xiaorong has already chosen to drop out of school and will go to Paris next month to study jewelry design!" Liu Xiangling looked at him with idiotic eyes.

"Really?" Yan Juan was taken aback, "She ......"

"People dare to give up their studies before they have achieved something like yours. Even if you don't have any diploma now, you are the object of competition from various jewelry companies, so why bother with that diploma! Liu Xiangling felt incomprehensible, "If a college student is easy to come out of the village like me, if I drop out of school rashly, my parents will definitely be half angry." It's not too much for you to say that you are famous now, and you are still so brainless! ”

"I ......" Yan Juan was a little shaken.

"What kind of green onion is Chen Xiaorong, but I'll come back when the time comes. That was also gilded in Paris. If your future achievements surpass yours, you won't feel depressed! ”

"No, I don't think Paris is the only one that can produce famous designers." Yan Juan shook his head, "I won't lose to others, including Chen Xiaorong." ”

"This time, it was the Lu family who came forward and escorted the land."

"Hmm."

"Lu Wenjun is obviously interesting to you. You ......" Liu Xiangling gossiped close to her head.

"I'm not interested in him!" Yan Juan hurriedly declared.

"Of course, you have Mr. Yan! If you want me to say, Mr. Yan is much better than him, and that guy will change to a 'female' partner in a few days, typical ***. But there are some 'female' people who just like this kind of tune. What is this called? Men are not bad, but 'women' are not loved. It's still our Mr. Yan, there is not even a piece of 'flower' side news, the only slanderous 'female' protagonist is you! ”

Yan Wan's face was slightly red: "Nonsense!" The concept of your design is still good, but it is too simple in terms of expression. I think it would be even more brilliant if I could change the lines. ”

When Liu Xiangling heard her instructions, she also abandoned the gossip book 'sex' of 'girl' and began to look at her design drawings seriously.

"Are you referring to the lines of a metal ring?"

"Yes. Don't let diopside isn't a precious gemstone and don't lower your design requirements. You know, as an intern designer, it is a rare opportunity to be able to design jewelry on your own. When I came in, I was fortunate to have Liu Li, who gave me the opportunity to take on the design independently, so that I could make such great progress. ”

Liu Xiangling nodded convincingly and stuck out his tongue: "I understand, I thought that the value of diopside itself was not high, so I tried to simplify the design." ”

"Sometimes, the design itself can increase the value of the gemstone, and that's where the power of design comes in. Moreover, the precious stones themselves have considerable value. They don't need to be too complicated to be loved. This is not the case with these low-to-mid-grade gemstones, because they are produced in large quantities, so they need to be designed to be mined. ”

Liu Xiangling nodded again and again: "If you add a 'wave' and 'wave' line here, will it make the whole ring smart?" ”

"It's not just 'wave' and 'wave' lines, you can also use points and planes to enrich your design elements." Yan Wan took the trouble to guide, and as he spoke, his heart suddenly moved.
