Chapter 150: Missing Out

"Yan Xuan!"

In English, the pronunciation of Chinese names is very strange, and with the unwillingness to send it into her eardrum clearly, Yan Xuan came to her senses, stood up and bowed slightly, and only then walked up to the podium and stood on the side of the French 'girl'.

His eyes swept over Yan Yixin, who was sitting in the back row, although among the tall foreigners, Yan Yixin also stood out among the 'chickens'.

It's not that his figure is particularly tall, but his temperament is as stable as Mount Tai, but as warm as 'jade', which will make people see him at a glance in the crowd.

His smile, with encouragement, like a warm current, gradually settled in her heart. Yan Xuan's smile continued to deepen on the side of her 'lips', and the French 'girl' came over and hugged her, which was just politeness.

Yan Juan also symbolically hugged lightly, feeling the other party's arm tighten slightly.

"You're so young!" Listening to the emotion in her ears, Yan Juan really felt that she was really young, and she still had a lot of time to work towards the newcomer award.

"The winner of the Newcomer Award at this year's Colourful Jewelry Newcomer Grand Prix is Christine from the United States. Lanno! ”

Thunderous applause rang out warmly. Yan Juan saw a tall red-haired 'girl' wearing a pink 'color' dress and stood up from the designer's seat. With a smile of surprise, he even stumbled as he walked up the steps.

And Shen Siwei turned pale. The clenched 'lip' already has a slight concave mark.

Yan Juan didn't have any more opportunities to sympathize with Shen Siwei, because the winner of the Newcomer Award was rolling up to the stage like a whirlwind and hugged them one by one.

Yan Juan never felt that she was short, but standing in the middle of the three people, she did look extraordinarily petite and exquisite. The soft black hair, in the two bright red and yellow colors, actually shows a calm 'color'.

In particular, her smile, subtle and shy, made the reporter focus more of the camera on her.

Yan Juan was a little uncomfortable with the high-profile occasion, her gaze passed through the flickering magnesium lights and fell on Yan Yixin's face. The gentle and familiar face made her settle down instantly.

I don't know when, Shen Siwei's seat has been vacant, and the oriental 'girl' wearing a large carat diamond seems to be just an illusion of Yan Xuan, and all of a sudden, it is already as thin as dust. For her, who did not win the cup, the Newcomer Excellence Award was a complete failure.

However, no one paid attention to her departure, even after the list of excellence awards was reported, her absence only made the host frown slightly, ***.

The joyful atmosphere still continued in the hall, and under the brilliant crystal lamps, all the faces were full of joy. Even if the results are a little unsatisfactory, on such occasions, you will still show your most beautiful side.

"The future is bright!" An old man from the organizer, when he handed the certificate to Yan Juan, actually said a Chinese idiom, which flattered Yan Juan. It wasn't until she walked over that she remembered and said "thank you."

Because of his youth, even though Yan Juan did not win the jackpot, he was still touted by many reporters. A reporter sent a report back to his home country and directly praised Yan Juan as a "rising star".

Among this group of designers, who are on average twenty-five years old, Yan Juan is surprisingly young. And the Oriental looks a little petite than they really are.

After the award ceremony, which was not too long, Yan Wan's dizzy head came to his senses. Holding the award certificate in his hand, he still felt a little incredulous.

The second newcomer award, such a result is too surprising.

"Congratulations." Yan Yixin easily got to her side, but he didn't have much chance to speak, so he could only say this softly.

"Well, thank you." Yan Xuan turned her head sideways in response, but found that Yan Yixin smiled at her and had already stepped away, saying something to the American who had just encouraged her in Chinese.

The smiles on the faces of the two can be seen that they are talking happily. Yan Juan was a little suspicious, could it be that they had a pretty good 'relationship' before? It is said that the awards in the semi-finals are fair, and their awards shouldn't be boring, right?

When she took such a thought and took the opportunity to ask Yan Yixin, he grinned, "You also think too highly of me." All I can do is keep your work from being buried. As for the final award, it didn't 'plug in' at all. Although your work is a little immature, it definitely has aura, which is why you can make it to the top three. ”

Yan Juan was satisfied, and felt that it was not a shame to hold this award by herself. She knew that with such a halo on her head, she would become an independent designer and there would be no more obstacles.

Yan Yixin took her hand and shuttled through the shadow of her clothes and sideburns. Led her to the old man who could speak Chinese, and introduced with a smile: "Yan Xuan, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Maisen, he is a famous China expert." The study of Chinese history may be more 'sophisticated' than that of us pure Chinese. ”

Yan Juan hurriedly complimented two sentences, Meissen's Chinese dialect was really very standard, and it also had the unique childish pronunciation of Beijingers.

"It's a pity, if you take this set of opal works to participate in the competition, this year's newcomer award belongs to you." Maison looked sorry for him, and immediately smiled and encouraged, "However, the newcomer award in four years must be in your pocket." ”

Yan Juan blushed embarrassedly, but was actually very happy in her heart, "Actually, I was already very surprised to get the second place." ”

"The main reason is that the time of the event is a bit urgent, and Yan Juan's progress can be described as speed. I am confident that her achievements will be immeasurable, and that there will be better pieces than this opal jewelry. Yan Yixin is full of confidence.

"We'll see. Regarding the source of tourmaline, I can definitely guarantee it here. ”

Maison's words made Yan Juan a little baffled, and Yan Yixin explained, "I talked to my grandfather on the phone just now, and I also talked to a few directors. You said it was a good idea to use tourmaline as our main theme this season, so we talked to Mr. Maison about sourcing. If there are enough works, you can make it to our fall launch. ”

At this time, Yan Juan knew that Maison also had an identity, and he was the chairman of the World Color 'Color' Jewelry Association, so he introduced Yan Yixin to many wealthy tourmaline merchants.

"Really?" Yan Qian asked in surprise.

"You are right, tourmaline is not only colorful in appearance, but also in terms of homonym, it has the meaning of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and it is easy to please the Chinese. Some colors will also give people a feeling of happiness and joy. On the one hand, we can start from the quality of the gemstone itself, and on the other hand, in the publicity, we can increase the meaning of tourmaline. ”

"Yes, tourmaline is not very expensive, especially the most popular pink and pink 'colors', which are less than a hundred dollars per carat. Such a price can be afforded by ordinary wage earners. If the tourmaline is not very large, a pendant is only around 2,000 yuan, including the chain. ”

"Yan just said, you have a design drawing, which is composed of gemstones of four colors? Am I lucky enough to see it? Mason seems to be very interested in Yan Xuan's new design.

Yan Wan 'revealed' a look of embarrassment: "However, my handbag is in the hotel." ”

"It's okay, after the cocktail party is over in a while, I'll send you back to the hotel, and by the way, you can take a look at your blueprints." Maison said with interest.

"However, that's just a sketch......" Yan Juan reminded Yan Yixin uneasily.

"Do you think Mr. Maison is a layman? A sketch can see your ingenuity, and you still need to see the renderings? Yan Yixin comforted with amusement, "When you were sleeping on the plane, I looked at that design for a long time and thought it was very innovative." As I told Mr. Maison just now, if he likes it, we won't be able to get a good quality tourmaline. ”

The atmosphere of the reception was very warm, but Yan Juan was a little absent-minded.

Sure enough, Maison sent a driver to take them back to the hotel, and he was also in the back seat. When Yan Juan took out the design drawings, he was a little uneasy. Seven years later, this approach is not unusual, but now, it seems a little different. She just thinks that this kind of jewelry will be liked by young people. But Maison is old and a man, will he ...... "Well, Yan, you are right, you are really ingenious." It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Listening to Maison's eyebrows fluttering and then sighing regretfully, Yan Xuan's heart was a little cold, and he said curtly: "This...... Just my first draft. ”

"If the deadline for this newcomer award can be two months late, you will definitely be the one who wins the prize!" What Mason said was not a discouraged word, but an unexpected encouragement that made her surprised and delighted, and she forgot to react for a while.

"It doesn't matter, she's still young. In the next edition, the newcomer award will be like a bag. Yan Yixin glanced at Yan Juan with a smile, and there was pride and pride in his eyes.

Yan Xuan's heart is warm.

"In this way, if you Yan produce this jewelry, a batch will be sold simultaneously with the United States." Maison groaned for a long time before he made up his mind, "I hope you will fax me a copy of all the works designed by Yan Juan before they go on sale, and I hope to use this mode to 'operate' most of the works." ”

Yan Yixin said something to Maison again, and Yan Juan couldn't hear it clearly. It is nothing more than the division between the tourmaline raw material and the finished product, as well as some contractual terms. She didn't listen to these things, and most of them didn't understand much, so she sat on the side, just as an ornament.

But for his own design drawings, it was really unexpected to be valued by Maison.

Newcomer, after she is reborn, she will be a newcomer!

Although it is said that there are talents in the past four years, she may not really be able to win the championship in one fell swoop as Mason boasted. But what Mason is giving her now is a real value.

With such an opportunity to be sold in the United States at the same time, shouldn't there be a bigger problem in terms of cash flow?

Sending Maison away with a sense of 'excitement', after Yan Juan asked this question, Yan Yixin smiled: "Not only do we not need to advance funds, but we can also apply part of the funds." For the Yan crisis, it is simply a relief in the snow. ”

Yan Juan's face was suspicious, and Yan Yixin explained with a smile: "Because of Maison's tourmaline raw materials, we don't need to pay cash, so we will issue a three-month promissory note." And we only need two months from design to production. So, we can still use some of the funds. Yan Xuan, you are the great hero of the Yan family this time! ”

"I don't care about Yan's ...... Something, I just wanted to help you. Yan Juan said with a smile, "groan" and "groan", and after finishing speaking, he felt that this sentence was too straightforward, and he couldn't help but blush.

"I know, you just love the house and the black. Because I like my house, I even take Yan's crow to please you. ”

Yan Juan laughed out loud, laughing the embarrassment out of the clouds.

"Okay, the big thing has been decided, take a shower and go to bed early." Yan Yixin felt that this smile was easy to tug at his heartstrings, but he didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he could only pretend to yawn in a hurry.

"Well, you didn't sleep on the plane." Yan Wan nodded again and again, but from his point of view.

Looking at his back and fading out of sight, Yan Juan was a little in a trance. The experience of this night did not seem to be reality. Looking at the award-winning certificate on the coffee table, she couldn't help but pick it up and look at it, put it on her 'chest', and slowly exhaled a long breath.

This award made her a little overjoyed, in the time and space 'intertwined', 'confused', seven years of time, like a shuttle through and through, only Yan Yixin's body temperature left on the back of her hand is still real, so that she has a sense of existence.

I didn't expect that after being reborn, I would have such an achievement! Yan Juan sighed with emotion, and even felt a little 'excited' Lu Wenjun's original form Bi 'Lu'. In this life, she will definitely live a more 'fine' life than in the previous life.

Although I made up my mind to take advantage of the jet lag, today's experience was really exciting. Yan Juan changed into pajamas, in fact, she brought cotton T-shirts and casual loose 'pants' that she could wear normally. When going out, you can save money, and you can wear clothes that can be worn both outside and inside, which is Yan Juan's first choice.

The hotel room was more luxurious than the bedroom she had painstakingly furnished. But lying on the 'bed', I turned over several times one after another, but I couldn't fall asleep.

The excited nerves have been scorching her.

Her cheeks were always a little hot, and there was a faint scent of the room that surrounded her and pierced her veins.

This kind of fragrance is not the "Chanel No. 5" that Kang Xiuxing prefers, but a sweet taste.

"I'm going to have jet lag, jet lag!" Yan Juan slapped his head with his hand, "I'm going to pick out a notebook tomorrow, so it's more convenient to design." ”

She imagined a bright future, and the sweet aroma lingered in her sleep.

The colorful tourmaline of the face "color" comes one after another, and in the sleep, it also exudes a brilliant "color", and in the dream it is like a "flower", shining brightly.
