Chapter 82: The Great Order
Naturally, he would not be stingy with this pair of earrings, so he let go of his hand with a smile and watched Yan Juan observe with a magnifying glass.
Yan Juan didn't notice anything wrong with his behavior because he was focused.
She carefully compared it under the light before shaking her head: "This is not demantoid garnet, but should be tsavorite, a kind of calcite, because it contains trace amounts of chromium and barium, and its color is very delicate and beautiful." ”
"Oh." Zhou Pu was a little disappointed, "At that time, because I saw that this green 'color' matched my clothes that day, I bought it, and the price modification didn't seem to be cheap!" I heard that it is made in Kenya? ”
"Yes, this gemstone got its name from Shaffer National Park in Kenya and was only discovered in the middle of the last century. Because of the small production, the price in recent years has a tendency to move closer to demantoid garnet. ”
"So, I'm not at a loss?" Zhou Pu was happy.
"Of course, maybe there is a small value-added!"
Zhou Pu nodded, although she didn't care about that little money, but if the value difference was too big, it meant that she had no vision, and she didn't want to add a talking point for others.
She put the two earrings in her palm, compared them with each other, and asked strangely: "I think it is not much different from the color of demantoid garnet, how can you tell it?" ”
Yan Juan handed the magnifying glass to Zhou Pu, pointed to the demantoid garnet inlaid on the earrings and explained: "You see, inside this gemstone, there are asbestos fiber inclusions in the shape of 'shooting', and we generally have horsetail inclusions, which are unique to demantoid garnets. Of course, sometimes it can be seen in bundles, and other gemstones do not have such inclusions, which is the easiest way to identify demantoid garnets. ”
"Hey, really!" Zhou Pu was easy to see the little 'door' and was pleasantly surprised.
"And in terms of color, tsavorite is more vivid and 'colorful', and demantoid garnet is mostly a little yellow-green 'color'. If under the Charles filter, demantoid garnets will be reddish, while emeralds, except those from Colombia, will not be red. Yan Juan patiently explained, not only Zhou Pu, but even the salesman listened to it with relish.
"I always thought garnet was red! Who gave it that name? The salesman stuck out his tongue, "It turns out that there are so many exquisitenesses." ”
Yan Juan smiled and said, "You can't look at the meaning of the text, in gems, there are many such examples." For example, yellow 'jade', which is what we often call topaz now, is not only yellow 'color', but also blue 'color', pink and so on. It's the same with beryl, except that we call the red 'color' red' beryl. In fact, the red-colored garnet, which should be called iron-aluminite, is the oldest type of garnet. ”
"The price of red 'colored' garnet is not high, why is this demantoid garnet so much higher than its peers?"
"Gemstones are valuable because they are rare, and small production will naturally be valuable. Now there is another kind of orange garnet in the international market that is also more popular, the correct name is spessartite, but because of the amount of iron content, it is orange-red and chryso-orange. Prices over three carats are much more expensive because they are rare, and those from Namibia cost more than $1,000 per carat. ”
"You know more than the salespeople here, you can't be in the jewelry business, right?" Zhou Pu took the earrings back and shook them.
"I'm sorry, I'm interning with a jewelry designer right now, so I'll know a little bit more." Yan Juan said modestly, "It's just that now I just draw a little bit of design drawings for commercial popular styles, and I don't have the strength to customize them for others." ”
Zhou Pu smiled lightly: "That's not simple?" Let me be your customer! ”

Yan Juan was surprised and delighted, although she had such an idea, she hadn't come up with a way to catch this big fish for a while. Who knew that Zhou Pu would take the initiative to ask for such a result, and he was naturally overjoyed.
"I ......"
"When you just talked about demantoid garnets, the way your eyes lit up was really 'fascinating'. That feeling...... Well, it's like talking about something beloved. As long as you have a passion for it, you will definitely be able to do it well. Are you in Lu's? ”
Yan Juan suddenly felt even more embarrassed: "Uh...... I'm not from Lu's. ”
Zhou Pu just pursed his lips and smiled, and did not ask any more thoughtfully, after all, this kind of behavior is also commercial competition to put it broadly.
She lowered her head and took out a business card from her purse and put it into Yan Xuan's hand: "I don't have time this week, remember to call my secretary next Monday, and I will tell you what kind of jewelry I need." ”
Yan Juan stupidly followed her for two steps before she came back to her senses, watching Zhou Pu get into a 'private' car and leave in the dust, and couldn't believe that she had received a big deal.
If it can be a hit, with Zhou Pu's status in high society, he will naturally become famous. However, is she capable of designing jewelry for Zhou Pu? Maybe it's better to 'hand' this order directly to Liu Li, it's enough for her to study on the side.
She carefully put Zhou Pu's business card into her wallet, in the previous life, they were not too familiar with each other. One is an idle little 'milk' and 'milk', and the other is still involved in the workplace after marriage.
However, her impression of Zhou Pu has always been very good. Maybe it's because she lost the freedom to work after marriage, so she feels sincerely envious of Zhou Pu, who can gain a firm foothold in the mall with any of her strength.
On the second day of work, Yan Juan 'handed over' Zhou Pu's business card to Liu Li.
"You ......" Liu Li's glaring at her made Yan Juan's heart 'furious'.
Did she do something wrong?
"Do you know who she is?" Liu Li flicked the business card with his fingers, "Dong Chou's only 'daughter', in addition to the finished product, the general jewelry is customized abroad. And she has a lot of money, even if the gems she specifies are not precious varieties, it should not be an ordinary order. ”
"You know, otherwise how would I not have the confidence to take over the business?" Yan Juan explained in a low voice, "I'm afraid she wants a whole set of jewelry, and of course I don't have the ability." I really want to stay in Yan's business. ”
Liu Lishou shook his head: "I haven't passed the 'door' yet, so I'll do my best for Yizhu......"
Yan Juan suddenly blushed: "I am now an employee of the Yan family, of course I have to work hard." Do you want me to eat inside and out and pull orders for others? ”
"If it's not Yixin's ......"
Yan Juan said solemnly: "No matter whose company it is, as long as I have a job, I will hit the clock of the day like a little monk, I think this is the minimum professional ethics." ”
Liu Li's suddenly put it away: "You're right, Yan Xuan." I now understand why Yixin would look at you differently. Indeed, you are special. ”
Is she special? Yan Juan didn't dare to agree with his point of view.
Except for being reborn once, she, like most ordinary and ordinary 'girl' children, has no proud family background, no otherworldly wisdom, and no decisive beauty that captivates the country and the city.
Liu Li emphasized again: "You are special. If another person receives such a big order, it must be tightly covered. According to the company's regulations, whoever receives the list will be designed, and the assessment at the end of the year is a very important basis. Whether it is a promotion or a red envelope, it is based on these data. ”
"I'm just an intern, do I have a red envelope?" Yan Juan asked unexpectedly.
"Who said you were an intern? You are now treated the same as a regular employee. All the benefits, just as much.
However, the salary is only half of the salary, and the working hours are only half. ”
"Isn't that easy? You take the red envelope, just give me a little bit. Yan Juan said with a grin, "I hope to make Miss Zhou our perennial customer, not just this time." Since she is Dong Chou's only 'daughter', of course, she is not stingy with blood in jewelry. Although she doesn't care about money, we not only have a cheap price for the same level of work, but also it is easier to modify and reset. ”
Liu Li gave her Zhou Pu's business card: "Yan Juan, this is an opportunity." ”
"Huh?" Yan Wan looked at him inexplicably.
"If you want to have a place in the design world, you can't always do it for others."
"I don't want to help you all the time, I just want to steal from you." Yan Juan said angrily, "If I give this business to Huang because I am greedy for merit for a while, then I will simply become the sinner of the Yan family!" ”
"It's not so serious, you got the order yourself." Liu Li shook his head, "Since Zhou Pu believes in your ability, you must also have self-confidence, and if you haven't taken over the task, you are timid, but it is not like my Liu Li's assistant." ”
Yan Juan waved his hand: "I can't do it, I haven't designed it independently!" ”
"Isn't this an independent design for you?" Liu Li said thoughtfully.

Although I really want to design a whole set of works on my own, Yan Juan doesn't have some self-knowledge, and she has more than enough strength to do it! She can be regarded as a halfway monk, and she has learned a little 'hair', and it is far from the time to take the lead.
"You're not greedy for merit at all." Liu Lishen groaned for a while, "In this way, since Zhou Pu wants you by name, you will contact her secretary first next Monday." Since she knows that you are still a student in school, she should not deliberately embarrass you. When the time comes, I'll help you check the gates. ”
"I'll just help you get started......"
"Yan Xuan!" Liu Li interrupted her modesty and looked at her eyes very seriously, until she felt that she couldn't stand it anymore and looked at the tip of his nose instead, and then opened her mouth and asked, "Do you want to be a top designer?" ”
"Of course, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, at least I subjectively have a strong desire to become a top designer, and objectively ......"
"As long as you have such a desire, you will definitely succeed. You don't have a proper understanding of yourself, and that day I saw that you drew a circle with many facets, and although you didn't use a protractor or a ruler, each one was very standard. Although we haven't started to design the product officially this week, the few cutaways you drew are very good. This opportunity is not given to you by anyone, it is you who won it yourself, so don't give it up, okay? ”
