Chapter 289: French Beauty

"Lin Ze, you ...... When did you come back? Because of the accident, Yan Juan's voice was full of surprise and joy at the same time.

The man who was laughing with a blonde beauty 'woman' in the hall was Lin Ze, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"This is my sister Jenny." Lin introduced it to the other party.

Yan Juan greeted with a smile, but muttered in her heart: Looking at Lin Ze's appearance, it doesn't look like an attitude towards his sister, right? If it is a close male 'female' friend, it is more appropriate.

Jenny is a typical French beauty 'woman', with blonde hair and blue eyes, hooking her lips and smiling, which is a thousand styles. Although the tea room in the middle of the night was not hot, she was dressed in a modern way. The combination of sleeveless knitwear and denim skirt is more energetic because of the leopard print scarf.

On the middle finger of her left hand, she wears a ring with a unique shape. The black-and-red 'colored' coral is clearly the most precious species of coral, and it grows on the bottom of the sea at a depth of at least 200 meters.

Of course, with Lin Ze's father, the identity of the noble duke, such jewelry is naturally not unusual.

Yan Juan paid attention to the shape of the ring, which was carved into a butterfly with wings spreading, and the form was extremely elegant, as if she was just flying, and occasionally felt tired and stopped on her fingers. A sense of lightness arises spontaneously.

"What a beautiful blood-red coral!" Yan Juan's admiration was heartfelt.

"You can recognize the species of coral at a glance?" Jenny speaks fluent English.

The French are one of the strangest ethnic groups in the world, most of whom speak English as fluently as native British, but they refuse to give up their elegant mother tongue when they travel around the world.

Even if a traveler is traveling in France and asks for directions in English, there are French people who will reply in fluent English: "Sorry, I don't speak English." "Let the way-seeker laugh.

Fortunately, Jenny doesn't have such a bad 'problem', which is the only thing Yan Juan is happy about.

"Of course, the color of this coral is so special that it's hard to be mistaken." Yan Qian replied with a smile.

Coral larvae are white 'colored' because they absorb trace elements such as iron and manganese in seawater for a long time, and the coral gradually turns into pink 'color' and red 'color' from the surface and inside, but the center still shows white 'color'. But this coral, apparently from the inside out, is this deep black and red 'color'.

Jenny raised her eyebrows and smiled, looking at Yan Xuan's gaze, which seemed to contain deep meaning. It wasn't until Yan Yixin held Yan Xuan's hand that he seemed relieved.

"It's a bit flamboyant, but I think it's beautiful, isn't it?" Jenny pursed her lips and smiled, which really had the afterglow of a classical Chinese beautiful 'woman' smiling without 'showing' her teeth.

"Yan is one of the most promising jewelry designers in China, and Yan is one of the largest jewelers in City A. Even if you wear one of the most inconspicuous beads, the two of them can recognize the material and quality at a glance. Lin Ze smiled and blinked his eyes, with a naughty look, as if he had made it for Jenny.

"Really?" Jenny was intrigued, "I like corals very much, but most of them are white, red coral is very rare, and even less of this black and red 'color', and I finally received a ring." ”

"Actually, corals have other 'colors', which are determined by the trace elements absorbed by the polyps. White 'color', red 'color', and pink 'color' are more common, in addition to this, there are also yellow 'color', green 'color' and purple 'color'. However, the hardness of coral is very low, and it will bubble when it encounters acid, so it is generally made into ornaments, and it is not used much in jewelry. ”

"Ah, I love pink coral! However, there are not many good quality pink corals on the market. The joy in Jenny's voice seemed a little exaggerated.

Maybe that's what the French like?

"Similarly, the production of pink coral is relatively small, and this red 'color' is between peach 'color' and white 'color', and the price is relatively expensive in coral."

"I see a lot of white coral, but there are basically no corals on the beach, and I think the value of this kind of coral should be very low."

"That's right, white coral is the lowest value of corals, and it can be harvested at a depth of 100 to 200 meters. Moreover, they can grow very large, and they are generally used as decorations with a little tidying. When it comes to jewelry and gemstones, Yan Juan is always able to talk eloquently.

Jenny looked at the coral butterfly on her finger and rubbed it for a while. Yan Juan was a little worried, Jenny's nails seemed to be a little long, and she couldn't help but remind: "The hardness of coral is very low, and the Mohs hard bottom is generally only 3.5 to 4, and if you are not careful, you will scratch it 'flower'." ”

"Ahh Thank you for the reminder, I was just thinking, I wonder if there are any black 'colored' corals? I never seem to have seen this kind of coral, this blood-red coral, the deepest color I've ever seen. ”

"Black coral is extinct, and they are stretched out in the deep sea." Yan Juan shook his head.

"Black diamonds, black pearls......" Jenny smiled and looked at Lin Ze, "If there is still black coral, the black 'colored' gem family will be more colorful!" ”

Lin Ze smiled happily: "Jenny, I know you have taken a fancy to my black diamond mine, this is an accident. It shows that God thinks my life experience is pitiful, so he gave me an extra reward. At that time, you didn't want any of the mines. ”

Jenny pulled out a long thin cigarette, but she didn't 'smoke' it.

"It's non-smoking, and everybody drinks tea." Lin took out the lighter and quickly put it back.

"Who would have thought that mine would be worth more than a gold mine......" Jenny withdrew her cigarette and frowned at the tea in front of her, "The black tea you recommend is not as good as the British one, although they don't have a few things to show their hands on." ”

Lin Ze laughed, although his voice was not loud, but his appearance was very arrogant, which caused Jenny to look at him fiercely.

However, even if the beautiful 'woman' imitates the roar of the Hedong lion, she also has her own style.

Yan Yixin helped them out: "This is the only black tea selected among the top ten famous teas in China, called Qi 'Gate' black tea." We generally call it Qi Hong, the aroma is timeless, rich and long-lasting, ranking first among the world's three most fragrant teas, and is one of the favorite drinks of the British 'female' king and the British royal family. ”

Although it was explained by Lin Ze, Yan Yixin's light tone was still full of pride. Jenny's mouth opened exaggeratedly in an O-shape: "Really? ”

Her eyelashes blinked twice, her eyes were as bright as water, and she glanced away at Yan Yixin. The smile on his face is still so charming.

"The fact that Hassan Qi's 'door' black tea, for a long time, has been the 'fine' tea in the afternoon tea of the British high society. However, the British like to add cow's 'milk' and sugar cubes......" Lin Ze sighed, as if the only way to drink it was a blasphemy against Qi Hong.

Jenny's face finally became a little unnatural.

Yan Juan has no research on tea, even if he wants to say a few words to solve the siege, he doesn't know what topics to pick for a while.

Fortunately, although Yan Yixin is obsessed with coffee, he is still familiar with Chinese tea, so he can still take over Lin Zeming's sneering and sarcastic words in a timely manner: "Black tea is fermented and roasted, and the thorns on the tail are very small. Regular consumption of black tea with sugar or cow's milk can play a role in inflammation and protection of the gastric mucosa. Therefore, the afternoon tea of the British aristocracy is not useless, but it is not in line with the habits of our Chinese. ”

Lin Ze sneered: "That's a foreigner's violent burial, and they don't understand our long-standing tea culture in China." This way of drinking, only deserve to give them a little tea foam! ”

There was a pride in his tone as a Chinese. Although he is of mixed Chinese and French descent, and his father is very respected in France, China is the hometown where he was born and raised.

Although his tone was filled with contempt, Yan Juan was very happy with his point of view. As for Jenny's admiration of British black tea, Lin Ze's shame was aroused, and there was a period of embarrassment, which can be ignored!

"Did you drink kung fu tea upstairs?" Lin asked them instead.

"Yes, we drank oolong tea and watched a tea ceremony." Yan Wan nodded.

"Well, I know, half past nine is Anxi Tieguanyin's tea ceremony. If we are in the afternoon, we can drink Qi 'Gate' red kung fu tea. ”

"Of course, Qi 'Gate' black tea is also the 'fine' product in Kung Fu tea, and its kung fu can't save many processes compared to Tieguanyin. Next time you have the chance, you can come here to drink kung fu tea, on Sundays, there are still a lot of people. ”

Yan Juan looked at him strangely: "Didn't you say that it was newly opened?" Why are you so familiar with this place? ”

"It's been a year since it was new, in fact, there are not many people who understand tea, and most people have a good time. There are some elderly people who have studied kung fu tea very much. Lin shrugged.

"Do you like tea?" Yan Juan still felt very strange. Because in general, at his age, much more coffee is drunk than tea.

"yes, I like it."

Lin Ze grinned, and the light of pain in his eyes flashed away. Yan Juan blinked his eyes, wanting to see more clearly, but he had already *** again. It seems that glance is just Yan Wan's illusion.

Instinctively, she felt that Lin Ze's life experience might have something to do with tea. Perhaps, he was born in the land of tea picking?

"Since Jenny doesn't like tea, why don't we find a cafΓ©?" Lin turned his head to ask Jenny's opinion and beckoned to pay.

"We're going first, it's not early." Yan Yixin got up very interestingly.

Lin Ze didn't stay, just smiled at Yan Juan: "The press conference was a success, I saw TV in France!" However, I heard Liu Li say that it was a blessing in disguise. ”

Yan Juan raised his eyebrows: "Blessed? ”

"If it weren't for such a basket, how would you have come up with such a brilliant idea? Although the idea of Xiaoqiao Flowing Water is good, I think it is more suitable for the release of 'jade' ware. And the black diamond ...... and such a background can not reach the level of water 'milk' 'blending'. ”

"Who let you go? I just think that kind of artistic conception is very beautiful, and I wrote a few plans that were not satisfactory, and that was the best one! Yan Juan had a deep hatred for his escape.

"There is an urgent matter in France. You know. Lin said vaguely, "I'll look for you in two days." ”

Yan Juan wanted to ask him why he went back to City A, but he didn't contact them. But seeing Jenny by his side and knowing that there was an inheritance dispute between them, I was afraid that Lin Ze had other difficulties, so he suppressed his curiosity to the bottom of his heart.

At this time, the road back to City A is even more empty. There were very few cars along the way, and it took a long time for one or two to whizz by.

"This kind of road is best for drag racing, next time you drive a sports car." Maybe it's the effect of kung fu tea, his 'look' is more relaxed than when he came.

"No, I don't like to ride fast trains!" Yan Juan glared at him, "Safe one." ”

"Can't you trust my technology?"

"It's not a matter of believing it or not, no matter how good a racer is, there is a possibility that the car will be destroyed and killed." As soon as she spoke, she felt very unlucky, and she was immediately annoyed.

"There are no taboos." Yan Yixin smiled and put her hand on her lap and patted it.

probably drank two more cups of kung fu tea, and Yan Wan didn't feel sleepy. Looking at the dark night around her, she had nothing to say: "Why do I think Lin Ze must not look like he looks like his sister to Jenny?" It's like ...... There is a deliberate flattery, but intentionally or unintentionally, he wants to stab her. ”

"There is no blood relationship between them, and you mistook them for half-siblings."

"But it's not his father's 'daughter', it's his stepmother who brought it back, in our Chinese words, it's a drag oil bottle." Yan Yixin said it is not simple.

"Dan is not his father's 'daughter', it was brought back by his stepmother, in our Chinese words, it is a drag oil bottle." Yan Yixin said it very simply.

"Oh...... Nalin brought her to China, it was ......"

Since she is not her own sister, Yan Juan feels that Lin Ze will not have any affection for her.

"Although she is not her own 'daughter', Lin Ze's merry father is very fond of her. It is rumored that the mother and daughter eat it all! ”

"You mean, there is a ...... between his father and his step-daughter," Yan Juan was shocked.

"What kind of expression?" Yan Yixin smiled, "This kind of thing is also normal. They are not related by blood, and the step-daughter is definitely younger than the step-wife. Otherwise, I can't think of any reason why Jenny is more favored than her own daughters. ”

Yan Juan let out an "oh" and was speechless.

"You don't have to think much about them." Yan Yixin frowned at her, and didn't say much, just patted the back of her hand again, "The French don't care too much about the human ethics that these Chinese value very much." ”

"Hmm." Yan Wan nodded, and suddenly his eyes widened again, "That's ...... Lin took Jenny back to China because ......"

"They are not related by blood, and there is no moral problem with what they do."

"Uh......" Yan stammered, "but, she...... I mean Jenny, who has a 'leg' with Lin Ze's father. If you go to Lin Ze again, it sounds a bit ......"

"Jenny is only a year older than Lin Ze."

"Huh?" Yan Juan was a little surprised, "But, didn't she bring it in later?" ”

Count it out, and the age can't be the right number.

"This is the one who will marry into the family 'door' later, after more than ten years of romance." Yan Yixin further explained, "His later wife has divorced him, and I heard that he had an affair or something. Actually, it's normal to be in high society, but it was a big surprise that his wife at that time was willing to divorce and marry generously. ”

"Why?"

"Because the person she married was just a small employee of the company. No matter how you look at it, there is no way to compare it with Lin Ze's father. Perhaps, we can only say that when love comes, there is no reason. ”

"Why did Lin Ze ......" Yan Juan could faintly think of that possibility, and felt like swallowing a mouthful of flies, which was very uncomfortable.

Or, she already regarded Lin Ze as her friend in getting along, so she felt unacceptable to his behavior.

"Quite simply, if he wants to get a bigger slice of the legacy, he must find his allies. Those siblings were the children of his father's ex-wife, and his natural friends were hostile. And Jenny has no conflict of interest with him, no matter how it is divided, her share can only account for a very small part. Lin Ze can win over, except for their mother and daughter, there are really other people. ”

"However, he has been eating and drinking all his life in that mine, so why bother...... What about it......" Yan Juan felt incomprehensible and a little lost.

"Generally speaking, no one would have too much money. Yan Juan, you can't follow the lungs, Lin is just like most people, unwilling to give up the benefits he deserves. ”

"This is his father's, love for whomever he wants!"

"Anyway, even if he doesn't want it, he will leave it to those brothers and sisters who are hostile to him. If that's the case, you might as well fight for yourself a little more! Although I don't approve of using Jenny, but the two of them are Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and others have no room for pecking. ”

"I just think Jenny is his older sister and it always sounds a little awkward. Besides, Jenny was still with his father, father and son, like the same 'woman'...... It's too much to bear. ”

In Lin Ze's eyes, I think his father, although his family is rich, is no different from a stranger. After Lin Ze rose to prominence in City A, people did not find out that he had any other hobbies besides tea drinking. ”

"Why does he like tea so much? He doesn't look like that......"

"Lin Ze's ancestral home is Lu'an, Anhui."

"Oh, no wonder he took Jenny to drink Qi Hong!" Yan Wan was stunned.

"It's not black ......tea produced in Lu'an," Yan Yixin smiled.

"This name sounds familiar...... Ah, Lu'an Gua Pian! Yan Juan shouted, ""Dream of Red Mansions" has mentioned this famous tea more than once, Miao 'Jade' is in the Lucui Nunnery, and the tea that Dai 'Jade' and Baochai are invited to drink seems to be Lu'an melon slices!" ”

"Hmm. I remember you once bought two cans of tea as a gift......"

"Your father also loves to drink this kind of tea......" Yan Juan stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, "I don't have any research on tea, so I can't think of it." Hey, there are enough famous teas in Anhui, I remember that there is another kind of tea called Huangshan 'Mao' Peak, which is also one of the top ten famous teas, right? China's top ten famous teas, it actually occupies three of them! ”

"Anhui is a major tea-producing province, in addition to these three, there are also Taiping Houkui, east to Yunjian, are very popular tea. Lin Ze was born in Lu'an, and it is not unusual for him to have a lot of tea. ”

Yan Juan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought of Lin Ze's disdainful attitude when Jenny mentioned British black tea.

Two hundred and ninety chapters

The press conference venue of the ammolite was centered on Yan Juan's three designs, and the "fine" works of the designers were placed in the shape of a peony.

Although the preparation time was not long, the scale was not small. Yan Yixin's mobilization meeting was quite effective, and sure enough, it was the benefits that drove everything, and these works were scattered throughout the exhibition hall.

Yan Juan did not participate in the work of the press conference, and this time the new manager of the advertising planning department had full authority to 'operate' the knife.

The large geometric patterns are all plain 'colors'.

The elegance of the background is precisely to set off the gorgeous side of the ammolite stone. The black or white velvet underneath is willing to act as a foil.

The middle work is Yan Juan's "Burning Flame", which won the second place in the National Grand Prix.

"It's not a champion...... Yan Juan felt very embarrassed, feeling like he was standing in the middle of that booth and accepting everyone's attention.

"That's already the best result of ammolite design." Yan Yixin explained.

In fact, none of the four art directors submitted works, and most of them were the work of independent designers and design assistants. Yan Juan can understand that as a new designer, he is not qualified to let the design directors sell well for this.

Yan Juan's three works were placed on the three booths in the middle. The aperture of the spotlight vividly expresses the passionate red, dreamy purple and gorgeous gold.

"It seems to be a bit flamboyant...... Yan Juan stuck out his tongue, avoided the camera, and retreated to a corner on the north side of the exhibition hall.

"You deserve these honors." Liu Li took her to the rest area on the side, "The best result of the ammolite is probably only the Excellence Award." Well, it seems that once at the Hong Kong or Taiwan Expo, I won a bronze award. Being able to win the second place in the national 'sex' competition is a sign of your strength. You deserve this award. ”

Yan Juan was disgusted: "It is the good quality of the ammolite that can design such a work." ”

"Good materials and good design go hand in hand. Your design and this ammolite complement each other perfectly. Moreover, even without this ammolite stone, the design of your other two models is not inferior to 'color'. No matter how humble you are, no matter how much honor you have, you can accept it calmly. ”

"If you keep talking, my face is really going to be red."

"I see your face is already red......" Liu Li chuckled.

Yan Juan 'touched' his cheeks: "That's not because of you...... Speak so well of me? ”

Liu Li has always been too indulgent to her, right?

"To be honest, I'm curious how far you can go down this road." Liu Li handed her a cup of coffee.

The strong aroma made Yan Wan's 'spirit' refreshed.

She looked at the shadowy flow of people not far away, and was amazed by the bustling guests. Unexpectedly, this special press conference arranged between the summer and autumn press conferences would attract a lot of people.

Perhaps, as Chang Taicheng predicted, ammolite will be the most popular gemstone of the year. And the prospect of the sales ranking given by Yan Yixin is the deeper reason why designers flock to it.

Yan Juan took a deep breath, she was touched by Yan Yixin, and actually began to enjoy the aroma of coffee. She took a sip, from the tip of her tongue to the branch tube, and then to the stomach, the rich aroma quickly refreshed her. Half-closed, his eyes were clear, and suddenly they opened again.

"By the way, the last time I saw Lin Ze's sister, the ring on her hand was designed to be very chic, using blood-red coral as raw material. I think we can try to use pearls as the main theme for our autumn conference. ”

Liu Li had a bitter face: "Please, Yan Xuan, can you not work so hard!" You've just kicked off this press conference, and you're starting to think about where to focus your next steps? It's enough for a workaholic to have a heart, the two of you are together, how can you get the way of this world! ”

"I just thought about it...... You think, this ammolite theme will definitely end successfully, then we just strike while the iron is hot and continue to hold an organic gemstone conference to continue the theme of this one. When the time comes, with pearls as the main and ammolite as the supporting role, you can also add jewelry such as tortoiseshell, tortoiseshell, ivory, etc., and I will also be very 'fine' colored. ”

Liu Li muttered to himself: "I don't know if it will be very 'fine' color, but this kind of life must be 'fine' color." I don't even have the time to catch my breath, as if there is only one center of gravity left for my vitality. Yan Xuan, don't overdraw all your inspiration and 'spirit' spirit, that will make you gain more than you lose. There is tension and relaxation, which is the way of life. ”

"Maybe Yixin and I will make travel arrangements in the near future." Yan Juan thought about it and decided to get to the bottom of Liu Li first. In fact, she felt that Yan Yixin might have greeted him.

Sure enough, Liu Li said "um": "You should go out for a walk, especially you."

Yan Juan, forget again! You're first and foremost a woman. ”

Yan Juan was inexplicable: "What's wrong with the 'female'?" I'm not a 'woman' strong man, and I won't call for wind and rain, nor will I instruct people to do this or that. A person like me, at best, is just living in the world of jewelry and jade, enjoying himself and enjoying others, and it is enough to wish. ”

"Actually, my advice also applies to Yixin. Just like our old Chinese saying, it is called rigid and easy to break. If the work intensity is too great, it is easy to be overwhelmed, and the health of the body is one. The last time I went to the gym, I saw an ad written by someone, and it really made sense. ”

"What advertisement?"

Liu Li said seriously: "Having health does not allow us to have everything, but not having health makes us lose everything." ”

Yan Juan read it twice and nodded convincingly: "It does make sense, but every time I draw the truth of the design drawing, I don't feel so tired." ”

"If you stay at the desk for a long time, you should pay attention to the maintenance of the cervical spine and shoulder spine.

If you have time, it is better to go to a SPA, or go to the TCM health center more. Those 'fine' oils or something, I heard that they are very popular now! ”

"I don't know......," Yan Juan said honestly, "I've never been to those places." ”

"Are you still a 'woman'?" Liu Li pursed his lips, looking very disdainful.

Yan Juan sighed: "Actually, I think it's not worth spending time on beauty salons." Those so-called traditional Chinese medicine health preservation were exposed in the news last time! It is said that those beauticians are not qualified for traditional Chinese medicine. What gua sha physiotherapy, cupping or something, is not as effective as they preach, 'spending' so much time, but not enjoying professional services, isn't it too wrong? ”

"Really? Do you actually have time to watch TV? Liu Li knew that Yan Juan's TV was purely an ornament. Of course, when you occasionally go to dinner, you can still exert a little residual heat.

"The last time I was on the road, I listened to the car radio."

It's really a typical stern answer! Liu Li smiled bitterly and was speechless.

"Next, we invite Miss Yan Juan, the designer of this 'Burning Flame', to speak on stage!" A bright voice came from the center of the hall.

Not only Yan Xuan, but even Liu Li felt stunned.

"Huh? This one...... Is it 'wrong'? Yan Juan asked in a panic, "We shouldn't have this on our agenda!" ”

The camera hit them, and Yan Juan was at a loss and looked at Liu Li helplessly.

"Don't be afraid, just go up and say a few words. Youβ€”you can. Liu Li encouraged in a low voice.

Yan Juan took a deep breath and squeezed out a perfect etiquette 'sex' smile. But my mind was nervously spinning my thoughts, what the hell was going on?

She was not informed beforehand, and of course, if she had been told beforehand, she would have refused without hesitation.

Yan Yixin's face was calm, and when he looked at her, there was a hint of concern. It seems that he did not know in advance that there would be such an agenda.

He thought about it, walked towards her, and as the chief executive officer, he personally took her to the rostrum covered with red carpets.

"Just say a few words, and if you're done, don't forget to say 'thank you', and I'll save the day for you." He used a sideways motion to whisper in her ear.

Yan Wan nodded, and the smile on her face was a little stiff.

The constant flickering of the magnesium lights made Yan Juan's heart even more nervous, I am afraid that on the contrary, someone wants to see her make a fool of herself in front of everyone. She won't let them get her way!

The throat is dry and itchy, and the vocal cords are a little tight for a while. Yan Xuan's gaze tried to look ahead, fixed on a set in the distance.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!" She calmed down and said the usual clichΓ© before turning her gaze back. Seeing Yan Yixin's smile, as gentle as a handsome hibiscus 'flower', his heart gradually calmed down.

She recounted the advantages and classifications of ammolite, these familiar jewels, which made her tone more calm and calm. She is not a person of verbosity, so she tells the story objectively and concisely.

"Of course, today's press conference is definitely not my own credit. In fact, I'm not even the designer with the most work at this show. We, Yan, have gathered countless talented designers, as well as our rising star - designer assistants. Their names are not yet familiar to everyone. However, I believe that one day, some of them will become the loudest names in the world of contemporary designers! ”

She said it emotionally, because it was originally her wish. watched Liu Xiangling give her a thumbs up in the crowd, and Liu Li, who was standing next to Yan Yixin, compared a V-word to her. Her smile is more natural.

"Thank you for coming, and I hope that this night will be engraved into a beautiful memory in your memory." Yan Xuan's smile is vivid because it comes from the heart.

She bowed deeply and handed the microphone to the master of ceremonies.

"Juan, you really surprised me!" Yan Yixin greeted him with surprise and joy, "How many surprises do you want to bring me?" I just put a lot of thought into you, but who knows you can handle it better than anyone else. ”

Yan Juan 'touched' and 'touched' his forehead, and the thin sweat was not obvious.

"When I first heard my name, I didn't know how nervous I was. Why didn't you know the news beforehand, so let me make an impromptu speech? Next time, don't play such a surprise ......"

Liu Li frowned: "This case was made by the advertising planning department. ”

"There's no such thing in the plan that was reported to me." Yan Yixin had a faint smile on his face, but Yan Juan saw the annoyance in his eyes, "I've already asked, this is what grandpa temporarily let me add in, and 'extracted' an introduction to the award-winning work." ”

"Oh." Yan Juan agreed, left and closed his mouth.

Old Man Yan personally took action, and it was only a small adjustment on the agenda, which did not affect the progress of the entire press conference. Even if the new advertising manager swears allegiance to Yan Yixin, there is no way to take the emperor.

Even in terms of position, Mr. Yan is the chairman of the board, and he still presses Yan Yixin.

"Forget it, Yan Juan didn't suffer anyway, and took the opportunity to 'show' his face. For her, it doesn't hurt to do anything. "Liu Li is from Ningren, he can retaliate with anyone, but he has no confidence to do so to Old Man Yan.

"This manager can't be used anymore, and it looks like I need to get the company to find another one." The corners of Yan Yixin's mouth tugged down a little.

"Don't you? It's just a whim of the old man, and I see that he can hardly find fault with his arrangements for this press conference. Yan Juan saw Liu Li's 'look' and also persuaded him.

Yan Yixin said vaguely: "I'll talk about it later." ”

He strode onto the rostrum, and Yan Wancai asked, "Are you very optimistic about this advertising manager?" ”

"He's really talented, but that's just one of the reasons." Liu Li explained, "If Yixin kicks him out of the Yan family, where will Old Man Yan's face go?" Although outsiders don't know, the company's top management knows this little 'episode', right? When the time comes, I'm afraid that the old man will be angry and angry, and he will deal with you without regard for face, which will be even worse. ”

"But ......"

"But the old man must be very angry, I originally wanted to make you ugly once, but who would have thought that it would win you a higher reputation." Liu Li smiled smugly, "It seems that we should still thank him." reputation, if you get a cheap person, don't sell it anymore! ”

Yan Wan smiled: "I didn't want to deal with anyone, but don't do it next time, I don't like it." ”

"I think you're coping well." Liu Li said pertinently.

Liu Xiangling squeezed through the crowd and pushed open the lounge on the side of the expo: "Yan Xuan, you are really 'good'!" Ah, if it were me...... I must be so nervous that I can't say a word. ”

"Actually, I was so nervous at first, and my palms were sweaty. However, when I saw that you were all in the audience with encouraging smiles on your faces, I relaxed. Also, when I talked about ammolite, even if I don't know how to use my brain, I can talk about it fluently. ”

"I adore you to death!" Liu Xiangling exaggeratedly shouted.

"There's nothing to worship about this, you're exaggerating." Yan Juan shook his head, "It's just 'forced' to go to Liangshan." ”

Between her eyebrows, there is a faint melancholy 'color'. It seems that Old Man Yan still can't bear to go with the flow, and finally makes a move!

His gaze drooped and landed on the emerald ring on the middle finger of his left hand. The problem, maybe it's in this ring, right?

It has long been said that this ten-carat emerald ring is too flamboyant, but Yan Yixin just said that it matches her dress. As a result, Old Man Yan finally couldn't help but make trouble, what means will he have next?

"Wow, your ring, it's beautiful!" Liu Xiangling followed her gaze and saw the emerald in her hand.

"Really? Thank you. Yan Juan smiled reluctantly, "In fact, there is no room for me to choose in the design, I originally designed several shapes, but considering that the emerald is not fully understood, the toughness is small, and it is especially brittle, and finally this classic emerald cut is adopted." There is a slight change in the setting, but in general, it is the value of the emerald itself that determines the value of this ring. ”

"No wonder he is known as the king of emeralds, so pure that people want to drown in it!" Liu Xiangling held her fingers, looked up and down, and couldn't stop admiring.

"Pure beryl is colorless and transparent. Because of the chromium content, it forms a beautiful emerald green 'color', which is called emerald. If it is a green 'color' formed by the actual elements, the color 'color' is relatively light, or with more yellow 'color', or the color 'color' is darker, it is not called emerald, but can only be called green 'color' beryl. Yan Juan patiently explained.

"How do I think that chrome-containing gemstones have a bright and soft color, and a little velvety texture sometimes. Tourmaline containing chromium is also much more expensive than the average green tourmaline. Of course, the most famous chromium-containing gemstone is ruby. The more chromium you have, the darker your color. ”

"Aquamarine and morganite are also beryls!" After Liu Xiangling sighed, he couldn't help but ask, "Beryl seems to have a red 'color'!" ”

"Yes, if it contains rubber, lithium, and manganese, it will have a beautiful rose 'color', which is called beryl, and it is also a very popular variety of beryl. If it contains iron, it will show a golden 'color' or lemon yellow, known as golden 'color' beryl, and in recent years, the price in the international market has also climbed to a new high, and it may become a new upstart in the beryl family. However, these still depend on the production. ”

"I really wish I could see all kinds of beryls, but emeralds are the most beautiful." Liu Xiangling praised Ling, and refused to move his gaze for a long time.

"Maybe you can consider holding a slap in the face of the beryl theme conference......" Before Yan Juan finished speaking, he saw anger on Liu Li's face, and he hurriedly silenced his mouth and laughed a little.

"Yan Juan, can you be normal, don't say three words without gems! You know, you are so young, and there are many fashionable and popular things in your life force. Liu Li's hatred of iron is not steel, "According to your level of obsession, although you can reach the peak of jewelry designer, it is estimated that you are not far from madness." ”

"I know, it's just a sudden thought, just say it casually!" Yan Juan stuck out his tongue, "Okay, let's not talk about beryl." ”

Liu Xiangling's eyes were still looking at her ring, and she suddenly asked, "Is this your engagement ring?" ”

Chapter 291: It's all the ring's fault

Yan Juan hurriedly shook his head: "No, I only wore this ring to match this dress." Completely decorative, nothing extra. You see, I'm wearing it on my middle finger, not my ring finger. ”

knew that it was the trouble caused by this ring, and even Liu Xiangling regarded it as an engagement ring. Yan Juan thought depressedly, wishing that he could immediately take the ring and lock it in the safe. It's all right.

Didn't Yan Yixin take this into account? Yan Juan was a little puzzled.

"Oh, and when you wear it on your middle finger, it's a sign that you're in love. However, there are also engagement rings that are worn on the middle finger. Liu Xiangling snapped her fingers, "Ah, wear it on your thumb to indicate 'sex'." The index finger indicates that I want to get married, the middle finger is in love, the ring finger is engaged or married, and the tail finger indicates celibacy. ”

Yan Juan wondered: "Then I didn't wear it wrong!" ”

"So you're admitting you're in love?" Liu Xiangling cheered triumphantly, which made Yan Xuan's face suddenly turn red again.

"Not an engagement ring, anyway."

"In some countries, an engagement ring is worn on the middle finger, and the ring finger indicates that it is married!"

Yan Juan 'touched' his ring, very annoyed: "Now that we are in China, who cares about other countries, what does it mean!" Besides, the ring itself is a kind of ornament, except for the ring finger, which is more elegant, the other fingers do not have any special meaning at all. Like the current fashion 'flower' ring, you can wear it on any finger. The ring finger has the natural advantage of wearing a ring, it is slender and delicate, and it is the most suitable finger to wear a ring, why does it have to be a married 'woman' to enjoy such beauty? ”

"The problem is, your ring is too expensive!" Liu Xiangling's eyes were complicated, "If I change to a coral ring or a tourmaline ring, I don't think there will be such a big reaction." ”

Yan Juan sighed and shook his head, feeling a little depressed.

Liu Xiangling deliberately stirred up the atmosphere, patted her head, and said in a tone that suddenly remembered: "The last time I saw the small shop on the pedestrian street, the material also indicated that it was emerald, but the price was cheap." A ring of this size is probably a little bigger than a red bean, only a few hundred! I was so frightened that I wanted to buy it, but I thought it was impossible to drop a piece of pie for me. There is only the wrong one in the world, how can there be the wrong one! ”

"Is it dark brown? If the transparency of such a color is low, the price will not be high. However, if that also dies it can only be called brown 'colored' beryl or greenish 'colored' beryl. This time, it was not Yan Juan who answered, but Liu Li.

Yan Juan looked at his ring, a thick 'bright' but not cheesy green 'color', like a deep pool on a 'spring' day, and it was difficult for people who saw it not to be attracted. Green is the color of life, and it is difficult not to attract people with such a green. It's no wonder that he dressed up today, and all of a sudden, Old Man Yan looked sideways.

Liu Xiangling even compared the painting: "No, it's the kind of green 'color' that is very strong and 'bright', which is darker than Yan Xuan's 'color', but it doesn't look so soft, as if it's a little cheesy." And also...... The clarity is also very high, and there are no inclusions to the 'naked' eye. Is it fake? But what kind of material is written on the label openly, the store is opened in such a location, there will not be such a blatant writer, right? ”

"Then it must be synthetic. Its material is not wrong, but the synthesis of two words, the color is particularly light, the font is very small, and ordinary people will not pay attention to it. This is the most popular way for merchants to play, and customers can only blame themselves for not wearing a magnifying glass! Liu Li said disapprovingly, "If you get the Charles filter, it will show a bright red color, which is one of the most effective means of identification." ”

Since what he said was the Tao, Yan Juan naturally continued, "There are also inclusions, which are also one of the obvious identification features, and synthetic emeralds generally do not have inclusions." If the plating method is adopted, that is, a layer of emerald is plated on beryl, and the inclusions inside it are still characteristic of beryl. ”

Liu Xiangling looked at them with envy: "If I also know so much, how good it would be!" ”

"You can too." Yan Juan nodded towards encouragement, "This knowledge is accumulated over time. The more you hear, the more you see, the more you see, the more you will know."

"Yes, if you're like Yan Juan, you think about gems all the time, squeezing out the time for sleeping and dreaming, so that you can make rapid progress." Liu Li said funny.

Yan Wan sighed, and her fingers stroked the setting of the emerald ring. It seems that Old Man Yan also regarded this ring as some kind of signal, right? Alas...... Three sighs in a row!

"Don't think too much, some things are confused, but happy. Your talent shouldn't be wasted on these things that don't have a shadow or score. Besides, as long as we don't use thunder means, our soldiers will come to block him, and I'm afraid of him...... Afraid of him! ”

Liu Li temporarily changed the last foul sentence and made Yan Juan laugh, "Hmm." ”

"Actually, I think Yan Juan, as a famous designer, doesn't necessarily insult President Ba?" Liu Xiangling said unconvinced, "Although the president is very good, is our Yan Juan mediocre?" Moreover, she is still so young, and her future honors will come like raindrops. ”

"Actually, I don't think it's a problem." Liu Li shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows which horn the old man got into!" Maybe Yan Juan didn't feel right for him, so no matter how he changed, he would be preconceived. ”

"What a stubborn old man!" Liu Xiangling took a sip hatefully.

"It's nothing, it's still too early to talk about this." Yan Juan shook his head. "Let's talk about it then, and you don't necessarily need to please the old man!"

In the last sentence, the meaning of negative qi is obviously heard.

"Old Man Yan will not easily put your Ling family's power there, he is just using roundabout tactics." Liu Xiangling's comfort is to the point.

Yan Juan put his heart down: "That's right, those tricks are nothing, they don't hurt their muscles and bones, and they can always find a way to deal with the past." ”

It's just a little more troublesome.

It was still Ling Ziwei who was so happy to take revenge, no wonder he was willing to take over his father's class at such a young age.

"Ah, this emerald. It's an emerald from Colombia, right? I heard that it is the best made there! Liu Xiangling saw that her face was loosened, and she also smiled and discussed her ring.

"Yes, there are some other places, but either the carat can't reach this weight, or the purity and color can't reach it. Just like in India, the best blue diamonds are found from time to time, and other veins are lackluster. ”

"I've heard that there is a blue diamond that is said to bring bad luck to people." Liu Xiangling was so excited that she was willing to let go of the press conference scene outside with fragrant clothes and sideburns, and accompanied Yan Juan to chat in the lounge.

Yan Juan knew that she was trying to make herself happy, so she smiled and replied, "Yes, that famous "Star of Hope" brings to those who have it, and it is by no means hope, but a curse that is much more powerful than any wizard. ”

The "Star of Hope" is one of the most famous diamonds in the diamond family, and from the first owner to the last, all suffered from bad luck. King Louis of France was the owner of it, and his favorite grandson died suddenly, and his life after that was full of misfortunes. Louis XVI was guillotined with the queen shortly after receiving the diamond. The Dutch businessman cut and polished the diamond to its current shape, and its weight was severely reduced to 444 carats. The son stole the diamond and subsequently committed suicide for unknown reasons. The British jewellery collector Heng bought the diamond with a large sum of money, and since then it has been known as "Hope". But bad luck did not let him go, and the subsequent violent death seemed to further make people understand that this was an ominous gem. After changing hands several times, none of them got a good death. It is known to be housed in the Washington Museum. The bad luck finally stopped.

This period of history is familiar to almost every diamond lover.

"I don't know what kind of jewelry those small diamonds have been polished...... However, with so many legends, this diamond is not worth a trip to this world, right? Liu Xiangling's statement made Yan Wanwan smile.

"Are you all lazy here?" Yan Wan pursed her lips, "I'm fine, as you said, not only did I not lose my ugliness, but I also made a big splash!" How can I say it, I also have to thank the old man for his fulfillment, right? ”

Liu Li couldn't help but smile when he saw her, and he completely relieved his heart.

"It's good that you can think like this, but I won't go outside, if it weren't for your work, to be honest, I really wouldn't want to come to the press conference."

Yan Juan said matter-of-factly: "However, I think this advertising manager is very capable, and this press conference should be very successful." ”

It's not a closed place, and the sound from the loudspeakers in the hall can still be heard half-clearly.

"However, there is a problem with character." Liu Li was lazily sipping coffee, and he exaggerated Erlang's 'legs', looking like he was a cafΓ©.

"Why do you say that?" Liu Xiangling asked with interest, but her eyes didn't dare to fall on Liu Li's face.

"Ming Yixin is the CEO, and he presides over all the company's affairs. But this one hid from his boss and acted in such a play. It seems that he is not a smart man. Liu Li sneered, "He thinks that with the old man behind him to support him, he can thrive in the company?" Dream on! ”

Yan Juan couldn't cry or laugh, it was obvious that the culprit was Old Man Yan, but Liu Li seemed to treat the new manager as a scapegoat.

However, these were not her considerations. Liu Li is right, it is not worth wasting time on these things.

After Yan Yixin gave a speech, he also went to the lounge. Yan Wanzheng and Liu Li, Liu Xiangling talked and laughed, and she couldn't see her previous frustration at all, so she put her heart down.

However, he seemed to be in a bad mood. didn't even wait for the end of the press conference, and left the venue of the press conference with Yan Juan first.

The silence along the way made Yan Juan secretly worry about him, "If you do this, will it cause the old man's displeasure?" ”

She threw her head over her shoulders and said, "Now it's the old man who has caused my displeasure!" ”

His tone was a little unfriendly.

"Don't get into trouble with your grandfather, it's not good." Yan Juan whispered.

"I'll take care of these things, don't worry." Yan Yixin hugged her, and the firmness between his eyebrows made Yan Juan tremble.

She didn't know what Yan Yixin would do for her.

"Yixin, in fact, no matter what your grandfather wants to do, it's too early now."

"Huh?"

Yan Juan said very simply: "I mean, even if you want to compromise, you will have to wait until I graduate from college, and there is no need for him to take what he wants." ”

"Fool." Yan Yixin hugged her with a smile, "Are you worried that I will suffer?" ”

"You're going to definitely suffer, Yan Wan is holding your handle! As long as you are reluctant to let me go, your old man can open his mouth and be free when negotiating. If you don't suffer, who else will suffer? ”

"You have a point." Yan Yixin's heart moved, and he nodded slowly, "Now that you are the designer with the most works in the company, grandpa will not do anything to you for the benefit of the company, after all, if you vote for the Lu family, it will be a big blow to the Yan family." ”

Yan Juan put her mind at ease, she didn't want to conflict with Old Man Yan at all now. She's not an opponent, and there's not much need for her at the moment.

"You know, I think I'm still somewhat useful, right?" She stuck out her tongue and tilted her head to smile, which made Yan Yixin laugh dumbly.

"Of course, you are the treasure in the palm of my hand." When Yan Yixin said this, his demeanor was very natural, and he didn't seem to feel 'meaty' at all.

Yan Juan was stunned for a moment, only to feel that his heart gradually turned into a piece of Suzhou halva, sweetly shattered into small pieces.

Yan Yixin seemed to feel at this time how 'exposed' his words were.

The look on his face was a little unnatural, but Yan Juan quietly pursed his 'lips' and smiled very happily.

The night breeze blows through the ends of the hair, bringing a refreshing coolness.

The hot July night seems to have faded away from the steaming heat of the day. The "hole" open window, "revealed" the bright starlight under the night, sprinkled on the floor of the study, like a mirror.

"Ah...... I took the ring off. Such a valuable thing, can you put it away for me? Yan Juan said as she wanted to wipe the ring.

"No, just wear it, wait until I find you a ruby, you can wear it instead, and you can't wear it with any clothes." Yan Yixin held her hand and stopped her movements.

"This ring is so expensive that it's easy for others to think it has a special meaning. I still wear some 'flower' rings and the like, so I can move in and out freely. ”

"It has a special meaning." Yan Yixin said quietly, "In some countries, wearing a ring on the middle finger is the meaning of an engagement ring. ”

Yan Xuan's eyes widened: It seems that Old Man Yan is not untargeted, but has a meaning?

This old man, vigilance against 'sex' is really high!

"Don't you like it?" His arms went from behind her to her chest, his chin resting on his shoulder, the heat of his exhalation squirting at the base of her ear.

"But...... We ...... now"

"I know, I can't get engaged to you for the time being, so I use this way to express the old way、"

Yan Juan turned his head sideways, his eyes bright and firm. My heart suddenly warmed, and I nodded gently.

"It's okay, you don't have to mind too much about things like this in the future. If you lose your face, you will actually lose Yan's face, and grandpa will not make too big a move. Yan Yixin hugged her, his knees slightly bent. He stumbled to the chair behind him.

"The two of us are so heavy together, we have both chairs in our arms!" Yan Wan sneered.

"What are you afraid of, don't say it's a leather chair, even if it's made of gold, we'll lose it."

Yan Juan was depressed for an afternoon, and suddenly disappeared, laughing so much that the 'flowers' and branches were 'messy', "Of course, if you do it badly, you will rebuild one, gold is not like a gem, and it is worthless if it is broken." ”

Yan Yixin smiled at her bright eyes: "If you are always so happy, I will be happy." ”

Yan Juan nodded vigorously: "En!" We'll all be happy. Actually, I don't worry about what your old man will do to me, anyway, just a few tricks, and there won't be any 'fierce' means. It's like kidnapping or something. I don't think he will use it again. After all, my father and my brother didn't grow up vegetarians, so he definitely couldn't make a bet on the Yan family. ”

"Yes!" Yan Yi nodded with satisfaction, "However, I hope you don't take a little harm, and don't be distracted by these 'messy' things." Your mind should not be used to deal with this. ”

"However, will the old man be angry today? The two of us ran away halfway through, especially you......"

"It doesn't matter, I don't need to be there at every press conference, and besides, since grandpa has 'intervened', I will simply give him the place." Yan Yixin said lazily.

"In that case...... We don't have to go to the venue anymore? Yan Qian asked with a smile.

"Of course not."

"But you're not doing this to make your grandfather ...... Well, don't you have face? ”

"People, the most important thing is not face, but the inside." Yan Yixin said seriously, "Grandpa will never understand the word love, and Dad is deeply affected by it, but he would rather give up the position of heir than give in." Me too. ”

Yan Juan thought that Yan Qi was not for love, but for this responsibility to his son.

However, knowing Yan Yixin's heart, that's it.

Emeralds are also green in the starlight. Yan Juan raised his hand in front of his eyes and 'revealed' a deep smile. She sat quietly on his lap, his arms, wide and warm.

At this moment, she didn't want to think about anything, just listened to the quiet sound of the night wind, the years were quiet, but so. For a lifetime, I just want two people to spend it quietly.

"Don't worry, it's a big deal, I'll be the shopkeeper too, let's go into seclusion." Yan Yixin's voice was calm.
