Chapter 21 Who Will Be Worthy of Him?
Wen Ran devoted himself to the business design, which can be said to be a waste of sleep and food.
On Wednesday, she was finally confident that she was a satisfied answer.
At the end of the lunch break, Wen Ran took the artwork and knocked on the door of Ding Yao's office.
"Please come in."
Wen Ran pushed the door in, and saw Ding Yao crackling and tapping on the keyboard, as if she was busy, she said briefly: "Mona, this is my work in the commercial design." ”
Ding Yao didn't look up: "There are still two days until Friday, don't change it?" ”
Her tone is light, making people unconsciously let go of the sense of distance.
The corners of Wen Ran's mouth hooked: "Don't change it." ”
Ding Yao raised his eyes and stretched out his hand: "I'll take a look at your artwork." ”
Wen Ran handed it over.
Ding Yao took it with one hand, glanced at it, tilted his head again, and then pinched the manuscript paper with both hands to look at it.
Wen Ran felt that this felt more nervous than the teacher looking at her design.
Ding Yao looked at it for a while, then put the artwork on the table, with a playful smile on his face: "You tell me about it?" ”
Wen Ran nodded and walked closer: "This white ice jadeite has a round shape, so I think it can be inlaid with a classic style, which is everyday and versatile, and will not go out of style, and then make a bamboo ring wall to add a sense of uniqueness and fashion." ”
Ding Yao nodded and agreed: "Simple, but not simple, it's interesting." ”
She looked at Wen Ran, with appreciation in her eyes: "Wen Ran, it's rare for a designer of your age to have this kind of simplification idea." ”
That's a compliment, right?
Wen Ran curled the corners of her lips: "Thank you." ”
Ding Yao seemed to like this design very much, picked up the artwork and looked at it again: "The name is also very good, 'Yuzhu'." ”
Ding Yao put down the artwork and smiled at Wen Ran: "This is my favorite among the artworks I have received so far." ”
Wu Yunshan has already handed in the work, that is, better than hers?
Wen Ran's eyes crooked with joy: "Thank you." ”
"Wait for the good news." Ding Yao raised her eyebrows meaningfully.
Wen Ran felt reassured.
She thanked her twice before leaving Ding Yao's office.
When she came out, she felt that many people in the office were looking at her, whether intentionally or not, but she didn't have time to pay attention to these scrutinizing glances, and she was so happy now that she seemed to float.
Ivy looked at Wen Ran's spring breeze proudly in her eyes, and went up to gossip: "So happy?" ”
Wen Ran pursed her lips and nodded: "Hmm." ”
"Complimented you?"
Wen Ran nodded again.
Ai Wei was also happy for Wen Ran, and grabbed her wrist: "Congratulations." ”
Wen Ran felt that the quota should not be gone, and the next thing was the entry.
However, Chen Xing suddenly assigned Wen Ran a work task, so time became tense again.
It's a busy week, and it's a new Monday.
In the first round of commercial design, the director will remove the less creative works.
Wen Ran is confident that she will not be removed.
So when the results came out, Ivy and Li Wan were even more surprised and excited than her.
Wen Ran was also happy in his heart, feeling that things were developing in an orderly manner towards the goal. When her heart was relieved, she wanted to go home and have a look, so she booked a ticket back to country M at 8 o'clock on Friday night.
At lunch on Friday, Li Wan took her mobile phone to chat with her blind date, and then said shyly: "My blind date ......"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Ivy was in high spirits.
Li Wan: "Didn't you say last time that you would accompany me to meet him?" That... Is it okay this Saturday? ”
Ivy said briskly, "Okay." ”
"Li Wan, I can't." Wen Ran was a little sorry, "I'm going home this week." ”
Li Wan pursed her lips in disappointment: "That's it." ”
Ivy: "Can't I help you see it?" It's not that I said, Wen Ran has never been in love, what can she help you see? ”
Li Wan picked up her phone: "I'll ask him." ”
After a while, Li Wan put down her phone: "Last time I mentioned to him that he wanted to bring two friends, in order to avoid embarrassment, he said that he also brought two brothers, so why don't we make an appointment next weekend?" ”
Ivy pursed: "Is his brother single?" ”
"It should be."
"Okay." Ivy raised her hand and put her hand on Wen Ran's shoulder, "Wen Ran, next week, make an appointment in advance?" ”
Wen Ran nodded, her eyes dark and bright: "Actually, you can call me Ranran, my family and friends call me that." ”
"Then you can call me Vivi." Ivy looked at Li Wan, "What about you?" Wanwan? ”
Li Wan shook her head: "My mother calls me Xiaowan." ”
Ivy quipped: "Xiaowan? Small basins? Kegs? Hahahaha-"
Li Wan pretended to be angry: "Then you still call me Teacher Li!" ”
Ai Wei smiled and waved her hand to refuse: "Now I can't say three words Teacher Li." ”
Wen Ran is a peacemaker: "Xiaowan is very good." ”
"That's right." Li Wan replied, "Ran Ran is also good." ”
The change of title made Wen Ran feel that the relationship between the three of them had really been classified from colleagues to friends.
Wen Ran slept on the plane, and when he landed, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon in country M.
She said hello in advance, but Zhai Chengjing and Zhai Xinyi didn't come to pick her up, it was the driver at home who came to pick her up.
Wen Ran got into the car and asked, "Uncle Zhao, has the company been busy lately?" ”
"It should be, Mr. Bai often goes to the company, and Mr. Zhai sometimes comes to the house in the middle of the night to find Mr. Bai."
Wen Ran didn't know anything about all this, so he only responded glutinously: "Oh." ”
"But I know that you are coming back, Mr. Bai asked the kitchen to cook a big meal today, and Mr. Zhai and Miss Zhai will come."
Hearing this, Wen Ran felt a warm current in his heart.
When he got home, the first thing Wen Ran did was to go to Bai Weiliang's studio: "Teacher! ”
Bai Weiliang turned his head and smiled kindly: "I'm back." ”
"Well, teacher, what are you doing?"
"Necklace."
Wen Ran lifted a chair and sat about three meters away from Bai Weiliang, and she quietly watched him work.
The studio was so quiet that she could hear the sound of tools grinding metal, and Wen Ran hadn't heard it for a long time.
Bai Weiliang was buried there, and the light hit from the front, making all the wrinkles on his face clear.
His hair seemed to have grown a little, and it seemed to have none; It seems to be whiter, but it doesn't seem to have ......
Wen Ran didn't know how he felt in his heart.
Bai Weiliang lifted the metal on his hand, checked the gloss and curve, and as if satisfied, he put it aside.
Bai Weiliang turned around: "What's so funny, let's talk about it." ”
Wen Ran's affairs in Shanghai were all secrets, and she couldn't go into details, so she could only twist and say, "There's nothing fun about it." ”
"What about the jade carving skills of the 'Southern School'? Didn't say interested? ”
"I'm learning."
"That means there are no achievements?"
Wen Ran lowered his head: "......"
Every word she said felt like Ling Chi.
Bai Weiliang knew Wen Ran's temperament, she was interested in jade carving when she was thirteen years old, and at that time she learned from a jade carving master of the 'Yang School', and she mastered the theory and everything very well, but she couldn't do it as soon as she got started, these handicrafts are to pay attention to talent, and the master later refused and did not teach her.
But this little girl is confused, and she is persistent in practicing.
With no one to teach or guide, I persevered for more than two years just by relying on the theoretical knowledge I learned.
In the end, it was recognized.
Therefore, Wen Ran's persistent matter, Bai Weiliang knows that she will not relax.
He was even more worried that this little girl was too obsessed, and there was no one to take care of her.
Now, he saw Wen Ran's sullen and aggrieved look, and thought that Wen Ran had a setback in his studies, so he comforted: "Ranran, learning things, you can't do it overnight, you have to take it slowly, you know?" ”
"Yes." Wen Ran pulled the topic away, "Teacher, has the company been busy lately?" ”
"Why do you ask?"
"Uncle Zhao said that you have been going to the company a lot recently, and my senior brother is also very busy."
"It's just a matter of preparing to enter the domestic market, and there will definitely be more things at the door." Bai Weiliang glanced at Wen Ran, "With your senior brother here, these are not your business." ”
Bai Weiliang doted on Wen Ran and gave her complete freedom, so Wen Ran didn't know how complicated and difficult it was to run a company from bottom to top.
But now that she knows, she wants to share it.
Wen Ran: "Teacher, in fact, I can help my brother." ”
"Of course you have to help your senior brother, so even if you like jade carving or something else, you must not lose the design, you know?"
"Yes."
After a little more small talk, he went downstairs.
Zhai Chengjing and Zhai Xinyi have arrived.
Zhai Xinyi wore a small suit and lengthened her hair, looking more mature and bright than before.
But as soon as she spoke, she was still the same: "Ranran, I want to die." ”
"I miss you too."
After dinner, everyone chatted together, and the topic always came to Wen Ran.
Fortunately, there was Zhai Xinyi, who helped Wen Ran answer a lot of words.
After Bai Weiliang fell asleep, Wen Ran changed his clothes and walked with her.
When I was eating just now, Zhai Xinyi said that he wanted to be happy with Wen Ran!
When they walked out together, Zhai Chengjing took the initiative: "I'll send you there." ”
Zhai Xinyi was not very happy, and found a high-sounding reason to refuse: "No need, brother, don't you still want to go to the company tomorrow?" We'll just go on our own! We're not kids! ”
"Tomorrow Saturday, going to the company?" Wen Ran asked.
"But he's busy! If it weren't for you coming back, I guess I would have been dragged to the company tomorrow! After Zhai Xinyi complained, he watched Zhai Chengjing stick out his tongue, "Brother, let's go to Angle, nothing will happen." ”
Zhai Chengjing ignored her, and directly opened the rear door, and his tone could not be refused: "I'll send you there." ”
Zhai Xinyi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wen Ran.
Angle is a local bar owned by a powerful expatriate, and the people in it are fun but 'safe'.
Soon it was time for Angle.
The walls of the bar are brown, the ceiling is stainless steel with water ripples, and the soft light is reflected, and the atmosphere is gentle.
Wen Ran and the others sat at the reserved seat and ordered two cocktails with a small alcohol content.
Zhai Chengjing explained a few words to the bar manager and left.
After Zhai Chengjing left, Zhai Xinyi's chatterbox opened: "Tell me quickly, you said last time that Yan Wangshu took you home." ”
Wen Ran's face burned a little, and he grunted, "It's just a misunderstanding." ”
"Abducted you home, and it's red wine again, can it be a misunderstanding?"
"But he let me go." Wen Ran persuaded Zhai Xinyi, "And I went to his office to deliver materials later, but he didn't see me." ”
Zhai Xinyi frowned and had nothing to say.
Wen Ran remembered Yan Wangshu's cold eyes again: "And I soiled his carpet, and he was quite angry." ”
"So, if it's as you say, he's careful."
Wen Ran emphasized: "I didn't say he was careful! ”
"You describe him as cautious."
Wen Ran didn't bother to argue, and directly concluded: "The whole thing is that I misunderstood!" So don't mention it again! And how can someone like him look up to me? ”
"Why don't you look down on you? Are you not pretty enough? Still not enough identity? Zhai Xinyi thought for a while, "Should I say it or not, if it weren't for the competition there, you would still be quite worthy." ”
"Who's going to match him?" Wen Ran's face burned again, picked up the crystal cup on the table, and took a sip of warm water.
"Then you can match my brother and be my sister-in-law."
Wen Ran almost choked on the water: "Don't make this kind of joke, how embarrassing." ”
Zhai Xinyi smiled heartlessly: "I'm just afraid that the two of you will die lonely and old, and you will be matched." ”
The uniformed bar staff brought two cocktails, layered in crisp colors and gently bubbling from the bottom.
Zhai Xinyi hooked his fingers: "Help me open a bottle of whiskey!" ”
Wen Ran stopped in time: "It's not okay, what if I go home later, Senior Brother will find out?" ”
"I'm not afraid!" Zhai Xinyi shook his head.
Wen Ran thought that he couldn't go to Zhai's house as a shield tonight, and he had to go back to his house to sleep.
Just when Zhai Xinyi was able to help me, the staff bent down and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhai explained in advance, you can't drink spirits." ”
Zhai Xinyi's eyelids suddenly drooped: "......"
Wen Ran burst out laughing, still the senior brother was prescient.
Zhai Xinyi was generalized, and turned around to slam the back of the sofa to vent his anger.
When she turned around, she saw an acquaintance, leaning on the back of the sofa with his small waist: "Gongzi Xie, ask for a glass of wine." ”
The man at the next table looked over, leaned over and looked at Wen Ran again: "Miss Wen, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
After speaking, he toasted Wen Ran in the air.
Wen Ran responded politely, raised his cocktail, and took a sip.
When it was over, the man chatted with the people at the table, ignoring Zhai Xinyi from beginning to end.
Zhai Xinyi turned around and clenched his fists angrily: "Xie Cheng, bastard!" ”
Actually, I really don't blame Xie Cheng!
Who would dare to give her wine?
Zhai Xinyi scolded indignantly: "You deserve it!" He deserves to be married! ”
"Marriage?"
"You don't know, do you?" Zhai Xinyi snorted coldly, "The Xie family wants to marry the Zheng family!" ”
After speaking, Zhai Xinyi stood up and took off his coat, and took Wen Ran's coat again: "Let's go, dance!" ”
The chaotic lights, the soft rhythm of the music, the fluttering hair when twisting the waist...
Wen Ran hadn't been so indulgent for a long time.
The jumping body was sweating, and the two of them hugged it.
After another while, the bar staff came over to remind: "Miss Zhai, Miss Wen, it's already one o'clock in the morning." ”
Zhai Xinyi: "? ”
Wen Ran: "? ”
Staff: "Mr. Zhai explains, you should go home." ”
Zhai Xinyi: "......"
Wen Ran: "......"
The staff member added: "The car is already waiting outside." ”
