Since the general direction has been set, but the design drawings have not been drawn, Yan Juan brought several books of 'flowers' to the company. Liu Wenling looked at her and was a little inexplicable: "I also 'spent' a lot of money to buy a pot of this orchid 'flower' last time, do you study raising 'flowers'?" ”

"'Flowers' have been bought, they must be raised!" Yan Wan smiled, and didn't plan to tell the story.

The leak of the design drawings has already suffered a big loss, and she doesn't want to eat it again. Although Liu Wenling seems to be quite simple, who knows what interests can draw her over? It's not an exaggeration to have a full heart.

I don't know how many kinds of color changes can appear when that black opal is polished? Yan Juan really wanted to start beating and grinding immediately, and see the "color" of the black opal "fan".

"The middle part can be polished into an oval shape, so that the arc will better reflect the color change of the opal. I wanted to use at least three of them, but with such a big black opal, I really couldn't bear to split it into three pieces. Otherwise, it is simply polished into a full pendant, and the cut offcuts can be used to make two earrings. It's a little smaller, but it's on the ears after all! In my opinion, there are two pieces of jewelry, and it is enough. ”

"You still need a bracelet, I can find some black opals for you, but the quality is definitely not as good as this one, and it should be able to achieve more than three color changes."

Yan Yixin nodded, he was reluctant to break down such a large piece of black opal into small pieces, it would be a real pity.

"Three kinds are good enough, I think this piece can reach more than five kinds of color changes. You see, there is no light polishing, and there are faint hints of the scriptures. The price of this black opal is estimated to be more than one million, right? ”

Thinking that he was wearing million-dollar jewelry, Yan Juan felt a little empty-hearted.

"Jewelry worth millions is not necessarily unusual." Yan Yi's heart is full of peace, the gems he has handled are more than a few million pieces, and naturally his mind is different from Yan Juan's.

Yan Juan sighed: "If I want to buy the black opal now, I must be able to do it." I don't eat or drink, and I don't know if I can afford this set of jewelry for the rest of my life. However, I don't want you to send me, after I do it, I will be borrowed to show the full picture, and after the award ceremony is over, I will return to Zhao. ”

Yan Yixin smiled bitterly: "Juan, is it necessary to be so clear with me at this time?" ”

"I like to 'spend' my own money." Yan Juan said with a grin, hooking his neck, "Yixin, you know my temper." Maybe one day, I can buy this set back as well, as long as you don't sell it. ”

"You can." Yan Yi thought for a moment and smiled, "I'm afraid that you won't 'spend' so much money to buy a piece of jewelry, although your point of view is not like Aunt Zhang Wang next door who has never worn any other kind of jewelry except gold in her life, but she is still very pragmatic." ”

Yan Juan glared at him, and finally couldn't hold himself back and laughed first.

Perhaps Yan Yixin is right, she has always been a staunch supporter of pragmatism. Although it is not as unbearable as Yan Yixin said, in essence, she will not put jewelry above what she eats and wears.

At the end of the day, she's just a layman. Now that the general direction has been decided, the rest of the things are naturally much easier to do. Although the toughness of opal is not as good as that of soft jade, it has low hardness and is easy to carve, so there is more space in design.

Every night, Yan Juan was thinking on her elbows, and Yan Yixin was watching her contemplation. The contours of her side face are extremely beautiful, and the soft curves from the forehead to the chin have a natural beauty.

Of course, Yan Juan has never been a country or a city, but he is a very attractive type. The combination of facial features is just right, and the more you look at it, the more you feel that there is a kind of warmth of Hetian 'jade'. It's not ostentatious, but it's impossible to ignore.

I drew one design after another, and changed it several times, but I always felt that there were shortcomings of one kind and another. This piece of black 'colored' opal, because the quality is too good, made Yan Juan dispel the idea of dividing.

And with a single flower, I always feel that I can't better express the elegant posture of the dancing orchid. What she is good at is using freehand techniques to express the demeanor of 'flowers'. But this time, she changed several full angles one after another, but she couldn't grasp the most essential posture of Dancing Orchid.

How to organically combine the ethereal and elegant dancing orchid with the beauty and luxury of black opal? Yan Juan pondered, not noticing Yan Yixin's gaze.

"Still thinking about it? Inspiration for design is not something that comes up with it. I won't have a clue for a while, so it's better to relax. I see that your clothes are also very old, and you can't still wear a T-shirt and denim 'pants' when you go to New York this time, right? I always have to buy some clothes, and now I'm idle anyway, so I might as well accompany you to buy two clothes! ”

Yan Juan really didn't have a better idea for a single dancing orchid for a while. pursed his lips, pouted again, and then flattened again, the expression on his face was very rich, making Yan Yixin look a little dazed.

There are not many times when her expression is rich, so that Yan Yixin often forgets her age, she is just a young 'girl' child who is less than twenty. But once it comes to life, it looks more brilliant and dazzling than usual, and people never get tired of watching it.

"Okay, but don't go to the 'fine' stores, I can't stand the prices." Yan Juan shrugged his shoulders, if this continues, my savings will be gone. ”

Yan Yixin smiled: "I will ask the clerk to give you a discount." ”

"It's too expensive to get three discounts, and the zero in the back has to be removed from two at once." Yan Juan still shook her head, "Just go to the general specialty stores, some brands have good workmanship and reasonable prices, which are more suitable for small white-collar workers like us." ”

"You're still a little white-collar worker? Although I haven't given you a raise yet, I'm just waiting for the results of this newcomer award. ”

"Can I get a raise if I win an award?" Yan Xuan's spirit suddenly perked up, "Add a thousand? ”

"Independent designer, 5,000 base salary, plus design incentives. However, I don't think this problem is big, at least I can win an excellence award back, and Liu Li's proposal can be passed this time. ”

"If I want a raise...... Yan Juan blinked, "then I should work hard to get an award." ”

Yan Yixin looked at her and couldn't cry or laugh: "If you let others hear your words, you will be blamed for getting into the eyes of money." ”

Yan Juan was unconvinced: "What's wrong with this?" Like you, you were born with a golden key in your mouth, so you have no concept of money. Millions of black opals are also said to be given away, and it doesn't matter if people have to cut down on food and clothing for a lifetime to afford it. ”

"Actually, you're not the kind of person who sees money, but you just use this kind of behavior to cover up your thoughts."

"Huh? What am I hiding? Yan Juan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"I haven't seen that through yet." Yan Yixin smiled and shook his head, "Let's go, just go to the small store where you said a piece of clothing only costs a few hundred yuan, it's better than wearing your T-shirt and denim 'pants', right?" ”

"Only" a few hundred dollars!

Yan Juan felt discouraged, for Yan Yixin, a few hundred yuan might be as inconspicuous as the coin she used to 'hand' over' the bus, right? Once again, Yan Juan sensed the huge gap between her and Yan Yixin.

However, she immediately smiled, these should not be things she should have considered. There's no shame in doing what you can.

The name of this shop is very 'colorful', and there is only one word, "blue".

In fact, the clothes are either blue or white, white or black, and there are no three kinds of 'colors', and these three 'colors' have always been Yan Juan's preference.

Yan Yixin took a look at the price tag, and there were no more than 1,000 dresses, most of them were between 300 and 500, and occasionally a few pieces, only in the early 900s, which was very suitable for the consumption of the working class.

Yan Juan picked out a medium-sized dark blue 'color' dress, "How about this one?" ”

"Well, try it."

Yan Yixin actually doesn't like to see Yan Juan wearing dark 'colored' clothes, and likes her to dress more brightly, so that her face will look brighter.

"How?" Yan Juan changed her clothes and walked out, she was actually suitable for skirts. Her waist is very thin, so she can look *** very 'straight'. Although her face was a little dark, her skin was white and tender, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she was standing on the ground and her legs, which made Yan Yixin nod her head involuntarily.

"Yes, this one is good, let's wrap it up."

Yan Juan raised a finger: "One piece." ”

"It's my business!" Yan Yixin smiled dumbly, "Let's pick another set, if it's a two-piece set, you can take turns to match." ”

"That's right." Yan Juan thought for a while and stopped the salesman's movements, "Then I don't want this one, I'll change the suit, I see that it will be more mature." And the two sets can be replaced with combinations, and all at once it becomes four sets. ”

Yan Yixin was very enthusiastic to put forward reference opinions: "It's better to have a set of white and a set of blue." This kind of bracket is also labor-saving, blue and white, or white and blue, all of which look very beautiful. ”

"Okay." Yan Juan didn't say a word and agreed with his point of view.

It is said to be white, but the edge part is still inlaid with a little blue "color" lace. So such two sets of clothes, how to match them are suitable.

Yan Juan was very satisfied, although he 'spent' out ten big bills, but even because people were happy, he no longer cared about it. It is said that if you win the prize, there will be a bonus.

"In my head, I think about these things!" Yan Yixin patted her head helplessly, "You obviously don't value money so much, but you just make a look of a wealth 'fan'!" ”

"Who says I don't like money?" Yan Juan asked confidently.

"If you really like it, you won't refuse my gift." Yan Yixin is slow and reasonable.

"A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way!" Yan Wanyi justifiably defended, "Let's go, I suddenly have a little idea, black opal may be able to start work soon."

"It's really going to start soon, and there's still a week to go, and it's the awards ceremony." Yan Yixin took the opportunity to wake up.

Time is ticking!
