Chapter 129: Surprising
Although Yan Juan is full of confidence, she can design a more 'colorful' set of jewelry for Zhou Pu. But for several days in a row, I couldn't catch the tail of inspiration.
In my mind, I tried to recall the jewelry I had worn in my previous life, but I found that because most of them were made of precious materials, in addition to the classic style, the rest were still classic styles.
"Juan, accompany me to meet someone after work, you will definitely be interested." When he was racking his brains, he suddenly received a call from Yan Yixin.
Who is she interested in?
Yan Juan wanted to ask, but there was already a short busy sound of "doodoo" in the earpiece.
The 'door' of the office was knocked politely, and Yan Wan called out without raising his head, "Come in." β
Suddenly found that what he was painting on the white paper was not the inspiration for any piece of jewelry, but a portrait of Yan Yixin who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly covered it with another piece of white paper.
"Yan Xuan." The grinning face on Zhang Qing's face is gone. In its place, there is a seriousness that has never been seen before.
"What's wrong?" Yan Wan looked at him suspiciously, and pointed to the chair opposite the desk, "Sit down!" β
Zhang Qing still watched, "I'm sorry, Yan Juan, I didn't know it would cause such serious consequences." β
"What...... Ah, you mean ......"
"Yes, I didn't know that Siwei was so eager to achieve something, she always felt that among the three assistants of us, she was the strongest and most promising one. But your joining made her feel the crisis, so she ......"
"How can you blame this? It's her business. Yan Juan smiled disappreciatively.
Now that the matter is over, she doesn't want to talk about it again. Moreover, she was also very happy, at least the person who betrayed her was not Zhang Qing. Shen Siwei? Between them, there has never been a possibility of becoming friends.
"She's so strong...... Zhang Qing smiled bitterly, "Of course, if I hadn't told her about your idea, maybe the things that happened later wouldn't have happened." Fortunately, Liu Tou stood out for you, otherwise, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life. β
"Actually, I have my own faults, and I can't blame them all." Yan Juan shook his head, "Nothing, it's all gone." β
"If it weren't for this incident, you would have successfully 'handed over' Zhou Pu's jewelry. Yan Xuan, why didn't you blame me? Zhang Qing was a little anxious.
"If it's useful to blame, the one I blame is myself. If I hadn't taken it so lightly, and even as long as I had told Director Liu about the design drawings in time, I wouldn't have been so troublesome later. Yan Juan said seriously, "Zhang Qing, your mistakes are not even as serious as those I have committed. β
Zhang Qing looked at her and shook his head, "Yan Xuan, you are really a special 'girl' child. Anyone who encounters such a thing will immediately react with anger. β
"If anger helps, maybe I've angered you ten thousand times." Yan Juan grimaced, "It's nothing, it's just a set of design drawings!" β
"Yan Xuan, you will definitely succeed, and there is more reason than anyone else to stand among the top designers." Zhang Qing smiled heartily.
"You're too confident in me...... aren't you?" Yan Wan smiled.
"Really, your talent and hard work are the conditions for success. What's more, you have a big heart, which is very valuable no matter what kind of industry you are. β
"By the way, how did you know about this?" Yan Juan asked strangely, "Mingpeng didn't deal with anyone, so he handled it in a low-key manner." β
"Don't you know?" Zhang Qing was stunned, "Now on the company's intranet, someone has already posted a post. I followed a post and defended you. β
"Oh, I didn't look at the intranet." Yan Juan blinked, "Is it embarrassing?" Calling me plagiarism or ......"
There are such rumors, but not many people believe them. After all, Zhou Pu wore your peridot jewelry to the press conference of their Zhou property last week, and specially showed your jewelry after the meeting. β
"Really? What about the evaluation? β
"The response from the market has been very good!" Zhang Qing gave her a thumbs up.
Yan Juan laughed, "That's good, anyway, the rumors stop at the wise." I believe that real gold is not afraid of fire, and I will have better works in the future. If I can't, then it's no wonder others are questioning. β
"You're very open-minded." Zhang Qing smiled.
"That blueprint of yours...... Coming back? Yan Juan asked with concern.
"I didn't ask her." Zhang Qing shook his head, "Anyway, it's not a particularly good design, I'm just very discouraged, I never thought that she would treat me like this, and I ...... between us."
Yan Juan heard the sadness in his voice, and couldn't help but comfort, "This is your design drawing, she should return it to you." Why don't you draw a new one? You have sketches anyway. β
"Forget it, don't 'make something' happen to her then, I'm afraid of her!" Zhang Qing said indignantly, "I don't believe it, I'm really inferior to her!" β
"Yes, let's work together!" Yan Juan stretched out his hand sincerely.
Zhang Qing's serious expression finally melted. Smile and crawl all over his face again. Reaching out, he held her tightly.
Looking at Zhang Qing's relaxed pace, Yan Xuan's mood also relaxed. Removing the white paper covering the top layer, Yan Yixin's smiling face was full of gentleness.
"Do you need to change your dress?" Yan Juan saw Yan Yixin dressed in a shirt and trousers, and asked in hindsight.
"You don't necessarily need to change your dress, but yours is still a bit out of place." Yan Yixin looked Yan Juan from head to toe, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to buy a dress, or a slim long skirt." β
"That'...... I knew that if I put on the cheongsam, I could barely cope with such an occasion. Yan Juan was a little annoyed, "It's all because you didn't say it earlier!" β
"I want to surprise you." Yan Yixin smiled a little mysteriously.
Yan Juan was overjoyed with curiosity, "Who is it?" Surprise? Interest? I can't think of anyone who can give me such a feeling! β
"You'll know when the time comes." Yan Yixin still chose to keep it secret, but Yan Juan was still thinking desperately in the fitting room.
"It's a nice fit, it flatters your skin, and it looks very mature." Yan Yixin didn't say a word, and took out the gold card.
This skirt is ankle-length, from the light purple 'color' of the 'chest' to the dark purple 'color' of the skirt, perfunctory countless layers. The whole garment is very simple, except for a satin belt at the waist as an ornament.
"I'll pay for it myself." Yan Juan took out his salary card, "This is my clothes, and I like it too." β
"Hey, Miss, I'm your boyfriend!"
"I know! That's why I'm privileged at some point. But I can still afford this long dress, don't rob me of my occasional shopping pleasure. Yan Juan took the receipt opened by the salesman first and ran towards the cash register.
Yan Yixin looked at her light back, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Sometimes, Yan Wan's stubbornness is also a little uncute. But...... One bad apple wonβt spoil the whole bunch. He thought, maybe he is a real lover, in his eyes, Yan Juan is almost ten ten beautiful.
Dinner is served at the membership-only Chinese restaurant. Looking at the scale is not too big, but at a glance, it is definitely a restaurant frequented by the upper class, Yan Juan secretly wondered, how could there be so many high-end restaurants in City A?
"I booked a box, and the color 'color' has been arranged." Yan Yixin explained, and followed the 'female' waitress wearing a high-necked cheongsam to walk upstairs. On the stairs, there is a red 'colored' carpet, and when you step on it, you step on it, and you step on a contago, but there is a sense of thickness.
The two-horizontal box is large, and the table is also for four people, occupying a large room.
"Is the land here cheap?" Yan Wan asked curiously.
"Of course not, it was four tables, but I asked them to remove them."
"Oh, I see!" Yan Coffin suddenly, "What about the person you want to see?" What a big shelf! β
"He has a reason to put up a little fight...... Yan Yixin smiled, "Moreover, he is not late, but we arrived two minutes early." For the people of the Ganwaiyuan, the concept of time is much stronger than that of the Chinese. β
"Foreigners?"
"Yes, it's Belgian."
Yan Juan immediately found some memories, "Ah, that box of chocolates ......"
"Yes, it's a gift from him." As soon as Yan Yixin's words fell, the usher ushered in a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes. He doesn't look like he's in his thirties, and he has a beard.
"Yan, your 'female' companion is very beautiful." Such a straightforward and abrupt compliment made Yan Juan only pull the corners of his stiff mouth and strive to deduce a perfect smile.
"Thank you." Yan Yixin thanked politely, stretched out his hand to invite the other party to take a seat, "Yan Xuan, I solemnly introduce you to Mr. Qiao Sen from Antwerp, Belgium. Mr. Qiao Sen, this is my 'girlfriend' friend Yan Xuan, you can call her Yan. β
"Hello." Yan Juan 'revealed' a polite smile, but she didn't find out where Yan Yixin's promised interest and surprise came from.
"Mr. Johnson has brought us a new diamond cutting technique, which is another breakthrough in the cutting method of 57 diamonds since 1914. I think there will be a long time before anyone can surpass it.
"Fifty-eight?" Yan Wan asked stunned.
"No, no, no!" Qiao Sen smirked, "Yan, you should raise this number a little more." β
Yan Wan was dazed, "That...... How many noodles are there? β
Qiao Sen was deliberately silent for a moment before solemnly exhaling his voice, "They have eighty-nine facets. β
"Eighty-nine!" Yan Juan glared at Qiao Sen in shock, "This ...... Is it possible? β
"Of course it's possible, and it's already a reality. We have made more reasonable use of a variety of scientific principles, including mechanics and physics, to achieve a more perfect grasp of the angle and proportion of the diamond, and can almost completely release the light received by the diamond from all angles. β
Yan Juan blinked, and he didn't regain his language ability for a long time. Beginning in 1914, the round polyfaceted pattern who cuts has become a cult classic in the diamond processing world. Even if it is changed, it is only a face, or there is a slight adjustment in the proportions.
"We're going to have a press conference to announce this great initiative." Qiao Sen looked at Yan Wan's stunned appearance with a smile.
"Too ...... Unbelievable! Yan Juan shook his head slightly, "Mr. Qiao Sen, who designed this cutting method?" β
"It was the concerted efforts of hundreds of cutters in our company that finally completed this brilliant achievement." Jossen's demeanor was conceited.
"I wish I could see such a beautiful diamond with my own eyes!" Yan Juan was amazed, and finally initially accepted this unbelievable-sounding statement.
"Of course you'll have a chance." Yan Yixin smiled, "Because Mr. Qiao Sen has decided to 'hand' over a perfectly cut carat diamond to Yan's to design a diamond ring." β
"Really? That's great. Yan Xuan's smile overflowed brightly.
"We will be holding a press conference next week to announce this 'exciting' change." Qiao Sen leaned back on the chair slightly, "At the same time, in the promotion of the Chinese region, Yan and I have carefully negotiated and think that there are very prospects for cooperation. β
Yan Juan looked at Yan Yixin excitedly, with reproach in his eyes.
Such news was actually closed so tightly like a clam shell, so that she didn't even get any news in advance.
Yan Yixin explained in a low voice, "Qiao Sen has not yet held a press conference, and has not officially unveiled this kind of cut diamond, of course I must pay attention to confidentiality." Although you are not an outsider, the maintenance of trade secrets is the minimum integrity of a businessman. β
"We offer Yan's 'naked' diamonds, and Yan's will ensure that we design the ring style that best represents the diamond as a step into the Chinese market." Qiao Sen looked at Yan Juan with a smile, "Among the many designers, we chose you. β
"Huh?" In addition to opening his mouth into an O-shape in a daze, Yan Juan was not even able to gather his ability to turn his neck ninety degrees to look at Yan Yixin.
"I showed the design drawings of the peridot jewelry you designed for Zhou Pu to Mr. Qiao Sen. Moreover, he also went to see Zhou Pu's set of jewelry in person, and now it has been sent to the selection center of the newcomer award. β
"With just a set of jewelry, you ...... 'hand' that diamond to me for design?" Yan Juan came back from the shock and cleared up his thoughts, "Isn't this too risky?" In case I don't make it on time, it's not ......"
"Not only that set, but also several of your recent blueprints, from one to the most recent, including the set of note designs that have been stolen by unsightly means, Mr. Jossen has already studied."
"I see your progress." Qiao Sen stretched out his hand, and Yan Wan was bewildered, and put his hand in his palm. He shook it lightly and stayed for half a minute before letting go, "I appreciate your design style, not because of how skillful your branches are, but because you have an aura that most designers don't have." Everything is natural, and the combination of style and gemstone is almost perfect. So, I hope you can find me the best fit for this diamond. β
