Gem Merchant and Miss Diamond (GL)

Chapter 36

For a long time, Lu Qiaowei did not go to the coffee shop. Every time she passed by, she would think of the sunset that day, and she felt uncomfortable.

She understands Shen Zhuoyu.

Everyone has different personalities. Some people like surfing, and life is reckless and happy; some people like stability and pursuit of plainness; some people are timid and weak, and only need a moment of sweetness.

The satisfaction is different, no one can laugh at anyone.

Lu Qiaowei tossed and turned, could not sleep at night, and suddenly felt depressed. She sent a circle of friends: [Every gem is mysterious, whether it is a past legend or an ongoing story. 】

After sending, someone will reply in seconds.

She took a look and found that it was Wen Jinyan.

Wen Jinyan: [Why do you suddenly think so? 】

Lu Qiaowei is a person who likes to listen to stories. Except for companies looking for her to design, it is more painful to engage in commercial jewelry. Like this kind of private customization, she loves communicating with Party A and listening to other people’s stories to enrich her inspiration.

Wen Jin said: [If you like it, I can tell you about it. There are many types of gemstones, such as tanzanite, lapis lazuli, aquamarine… Oh, yes, besides moonstone, there are also sunstones. . 】

Lu Qiaowei is interested in the plagioclase, and hurriedly replied: [What’s the story of plagioclase? 】

【Apollo, because of the sunlight effect, it can reflect the dazzling golden light. It is named after the sunlight changes its color. It is a very precious jade, and it produces less than diamonds. Do you know Ye Mingzhu in ancient times? It is also one of them, but it is mostly used to indicate the direction of navigation. 】

Lu Qiaowei asked curiously: [Is there any story? Like the legend of Sunlight Stone? 】

[The legend says that the sunstone grows out of the fog. It is a treasure left by the ancient Greek sun **** Helios. It represents God’s guidance. The appearance of the feldspar on that day is a sign that love is about to come. 】

Wen Jinyan said: [I have one. 】

Lu Qiaowei tweeted, she had to admit that Wen Jinyan was rich and knew a lot. She didn’t find this legend after searching on Baidu for a long time. She was really knowledgeable.

…

On Monday, the company held a morning meeting as usual.

In general meetings at this time, everyone is drowsy, and almost no one listens to them. They just say a few words, chanting slogans.

In the morning when he entered the company, Qu Qingzhu told Lu Qiaowei the news. Her uncle is coming over today, and it is estimated that she is going to talk about something important.

Lu Qiaowei had a bad premonition, and intuitively felt that this matter was related to her.

Sure enough, during the meeting, the vice president tactfully told her that she would not accept design drafts for the time being, and at the same time told her very bluntly that the company wanted to cooperate with DMD to buy jewelry back, and asked her to negotiate the price. It is said that when it succeeds, the company will be self-sufficient.

The vice president said: “Designer Lu, the customer’s response to you is very good, saying that you know a lot about gems, this matter will be left to you, and then it will be completed. The newly established department will definitely be handed over to you. You start management, and the company expects a lot of you.”

The pie painting is big, and he promised a promotion and a salary increase. Generally speaking, she would have to throw her head and blood when she heard it. Lu Qiaowei cheered up and said boldly: “Vice President, let me tell you a secret.”

“Ok?”

Lu Qiaowei sighed: “Actually, it was made up by me, knowing that customers don’t know how to talk nonsense on purpose, I am also confused when I encounter someone who is really good at it.”

Then she said seriously: “The executive officer of DMD is very powerful. Her resume has left me a few blocks away. There is nothing she doesn’t know. She understands the story of gems. I can guarantee that in the entire industry, no one is more knowledgeable than her. Profound, and…”

Qu Qingzhu pulled her under the table and whispered: “Weiwei, I’m overly exaggerating.”

If it weren’t for Lu Qiaowei’s hard work, they would have thought that Lu Qiaowei was a spy sent by DMD.

Lu Qiaowei sat upright, touched her nose, and whispered, “I’m going to fool her, it’s just the class door.”

The vice president was silent.

Lu Qiaowei said again: “The company expects so much from me, and I am very grateful to the company. I can’t harm the company. Would you like to invite such super professionals to talk about it.”

The vice president’s expression was a bit ugly. It is estimated that Qu Qingzhu’s face did not lose his temper. Lu Qiaowei lowered her head after speaking and held her air-conditioning.

Coming out of the conference room, colleagues all surrounded Qiao Wei and said, “Weiwei, you are too brave, you are not afraid to offend the vice president.”

“Yeah, such a great opportunity, why not take it.”

Lu Qiaowei grinned reluctantly, “It’s a good opportunity, but I’m not capable enough. I’m a designer to engage in a diamond project, how can I do it well. I refuse now, and the vice president just smashed me once, but if I If you pick it up, if you don’t do it well, you’ll suffer a black face every day.

She encouraged: “If you have an idea, you can try it.”

“Forget it, you can’t do it, let alone we can’t.” Colleagues waved their hands. “The assistants can only be forgotten. If you are too busy, call us for help.”

It’s almost the end of the year. Lu Qiaowei is really too busy. She called the report application assistant before, but now it looks like she is yellow.

She thanked everyone for their kindness and went back to the office.

After a while, Qu Qingzhu came to her, which meant that the job of recruiting assistants had gone horribly. The above surface said that those able to work harder, let her bear with it. The actual meaning is that she would not accept the project and want an assistant to be a dream. .

Qu Qingzhu asked: “This opportunity is quite big, are you really not going?”

“No, don’t say I don’t know anything about the gem industry, I…” Lu Qiaowei paused, somewhat unspeakable.

“What’s the matter?” Qu Qingzhu looked at her suspiciously.

“I am a little bit confused now, this kind of thing is very complicated, you don’t understand it.” Lu Qiaowei sighed, didn’t want to mention it, and couldn’t help thinking about the stories Wen Jinyan said that caused her to go to work these two days. It looked a little melancholy.

Qu Qingzhu said, “How can you know that I don’t understand without saying?”

She asked sensitively: “It has something to do with Wen Jinyan?”

Lu Qiaowei looked surprised, and then restrained and said: “It’s not all, it’s just a little bit related.”

“Are you going to refuse her likes?”

Lu Qiaowei licked her lips, “I think it’s better to be realistic.”

Qu Qingzhu basically wanted to encourage her, thinking of Wen Jinyan’s ability, “Are you sure you can hold on?”

Lu Qiaowei chuckled, “I can’t keep it steady? A joke, I can’t provoke, and I can’t hide it. If I don’t meet her, what can she do to me.”

She had no confidence in her heart, she raised her voice, “I, Lu Qiaowei, I won’t meet if I don’t meet.”

Qu Qingzhu patted her on the shoulder, “It’s fine if you decide.”

She showed Lu Qiaowei the plan requested above, “You can just take a look. Although the company doesn’t force it, it will definitely work hard. There is really no way for the assistant.”

“If they don’t arrange an assistant for me, I won’t take orders.” Lu Qiaowei said capriciously.

“Then you don’t save money?” Qu Qingzhu told her realistically, “Don’t think that I don’t know what you are thinking. You are afraid that your parents will urge you to get married, so you can arrange a man for you and want to save money to buy a house by yourself.”

In Lu Qiaowei’s ordinary family, although her parents didn’t let her be Voldemort or something, she was very feudal in terms of thinking, and she did not give less pressure. She broke up with Luo. Her mother sent a bunch of photos to her every week, wishing to find single men from the whole city to come over and have a blind date with her.

She can only keep checking the money and straighten her back.

Lu Qiaowei is considered a high-energy person, she rarely shows negative emotions, so she sighed and said: “It’s okay, I can stand it alone. If I have money, I will be happy No matter how tired I am, I will be happy ”

Thinking of this, someone came to her to report this afternoon with a resume. Lu Qiaowei was shocked when he said that he was coming to be her assistant. What kind of company did this come from?

A very young girl, she looked pretty clever, Lu Qiaowei looked familiar, and asked, “We met?”

The little girl nodded, and then said: “I am transferred from the finance side.”

Lu Qiaowei said oh, she went through the financial affairs every day, and it was not unusual to see her. She looked at the little girl’s information and found that she had a pretty good education and her name was Ding Yueyan.

Ding Yueyan said again: “I used to be Director Yu’s assistant. He said that your side was not sufficiently staffed, so I was transferred to the personnel office.”

Lu Qiaowei paused when she flipped through it. No wonder she thought it was the company’s kindness. She looked at Ding Yueyan and said, “You can work in my office first. I will give you an extra 2,000 bonus, how about?”

“Sister Xie Weiwei.” Ding Yueyan said happily.

She has quick hands and feet, and when she comes up, she cleans up the table next to her, and the drawings are arranged for her according to the time, which is clear at a glance.

Lu Qiaowei usually doesn’t like to organize. The drawings are always piled up together. With the help of this little girl, things on the table are much cleaner and tidy. She feels embarrassed and said, “You work quite neatly.”

“I studied accounting.” Ding Yueyan sat down on the table next to her, helped her deal with emails, and responded to customer questions, which was very efficient.

After Lu Qiaowei came back from Christie’s, she also met Yu Ruiyan several times. Yu Ruiyan was not as eager as before, but she had always taken care of her.

Yu Ruiyan helped her a lot, and she was grateful for her feelings and reason. She typed: [After finishing this work, I will invite you to dinner. 】

Just about to send it over, Ding Yueyan took the timetable to her and said, “Sister Weiwei, you have an appointment at three o’clock in the afternoon. You are going to the DMD for an interview. Is it going to go by?”

A few days ago, the cooperation between her and DMD was pressed to the end, and the work has been accumulating. Lu Qiaowei looked at the timetable and was taken aback.

Ding Yueyan waved in front of her, “Sister Weiwei, what’s wrong with you?”

Asking is embarrassing.

Lu Qiaowei went to Qu Qingzhu to ask for leave.

Qu Qingzhu was also taken aback, and then stared at her for a long time, “Does her face hurt?”

Lu Qiaowei pointed to the leave form, “Well, I’ll go now. I’ll go back and change my clothes for the interview. It’s better to be more serious.”

Qu Qingzhu: “…oh.”

Sign, Lu Qiaowei goes home.

She has studied the clothes of DMD designers, which are basically high-luxury. She can’t afford to wear them, so she chose a few high-quality brands.

After putting on her makeup, Lu Qiaowei went directly to DMD.

At first she sat in the lobby, thinking about the time to go up again, but the secretary came over and wanted to take her to Wen Jinyan’s office. Lu Qiaowei shook her head repeatedly and said, “I’ll wait here and it’s time to go. Interview room.”

The secretary said: “The interview room is in our executive office.”

Lu Qiaowei felt that she was fooling herself. Although she had never seen the world, she also knew that the interview could not go to the executive officer’s office. She was obviously lying.

The secretary added: “That’s right. This is the first time we hired an external designer. Our executive officer will also be interviewed. The executive office is well decorated and the style is high. The cover looks very compelling.”

“Oh.”

Lu Qiaowei was persuaded and followed the secretary upstairs.

She was quite nervous when she was interviewed for the first time. The most nervous thing was to meet Wen Jinyan.

When she got to the door, she asked a little bit: “Your executive officer has been very busy recently, or I will wait for her outside, anyway, I’m quite free…”

“It’s not busy.” The secretary opened the door directly, staring directly at the past. What caught the eye was Wen Jinyan. She was in a black suit, sitting at the desk and flipping through the magazine. There was a difference, with glasses hanging on the bridge of her nose. .

Lu Qiaowei was very uncomfortable and was about to follow the secretary, but the secretary closed the door directly.

In the space between two people, it was embarrassing not to speak. She coughed and asked: “Are you nearsighted?”

“No.” Wen Jinyan said, “It’s called by promotion.”

Lu Qiaowei: “…”

“Do you want it, I still have it here.”

Wen Jinyan opened the drawer, and there are all kinds of glasses, which are pretty good-looking. Lu Qiaowei shook her head and said, “No, thank you. I’m fine like this.”

Wen Jinyan handed her a cup of coffee to let her not be nervous, sit next to her and let her talk with her, expressing that she was very free.

“Hey, don’t think I don’t know. The secretary has told me that you are working secretly when I can’t see it.” Lu Qiaowei said mercilessly.

“Ah… how could she say that.” Wen Jinyan sighed, “I’m very shameless.”

Lu Qiaowei pursed her lips, a little proud. She took a big sip of the coffee, it was a bit hot, and her tongue was numb. Fortunately, it is not bitter, otherwise it is really hard to vomit and swallow.

The two sat and chatted for a while. The secretary came with a makeup artist and wanted to change Lu Qiaowei’s outfit, which was closer to DMD’s previous style.

“You don’t have to change too much, she looks very good in this way.”

Wen Jinyan uses a very formulaic tone, and treats work as serious, not the usual way of speaking with a tone and listening particularly rigorously.

Lu Qiaowei was a little beautiful in her heart, waiting for the makeup artist to fine-tune her. Eyeshadows and lipsticks are all co-branded new items from DMD headquarters.

The original style was quite small and fresh, but after being changed, his temperament was elevated a lot, and he looked a little charming.

The interview mainly asked about the source of inspiration and the design process. Lu Qiaowei didn’t use those gorgeous vocabulary. To tell the truth, she also made a slight complaint.

“I changed more than a hundred times that day, and changed a lot of manuscripts. I stayed in DMD for a week, and finally finalized the manuscript.”

She looked at Wen Jinyan and said, “Miss Drill, really a picky person.”

The old yin and yang became strange, Wen Jinyan sat on the high chair and flipped through the magazine, smiling at the corners of his mouth.

The interviewer asked the last question, “What are the expectations for future design? Which gem do you want to design for?”

Lu Qiaowei replied earnestly: “I want to bring oriental art into the high-luxury realm. Oriental art has a lot of heritage. I want to reproduce more jewellery stories. I like those distant and mysterious legends very much.”

“Well, at the moment I want to design for Sunstone the most.”

At the end of the interview, Wen Jinyan walked over and looked at the interviewer’s notes, and asked Lu Qiaowei, “It’s just early in time. I’ll go for a drink later?”

“No need.” Lu Qiaowei refused: “I’m very busy these days.”

“really?”

“Can this be fake?” Lu Qiaowei got up and said: “It’s the end of the year, and we are striving for performance. What kind of cooperation is needed, please contact me again.”

The editor-in-chief said: “The follow-up will be fine, and we will send you a sample publication at that time.”

After Lu Qiaowei listened, she ran away like a whirlwind.

Wen Jinyan looked at her leaving back, frowning tightly.

Lu Qiaowei does have something to do, she is going to see a client, and the client has a rare daystone.

The client is about the same age as her, twenty-five or sixty years old, with a small voice, and asked her if she could help make the necklace. The client showed her a photo of the sunstone, which should be her own stone, and took it in her hand. Yes, the stone looks very translucent, with golden light.

Lu Qiaowei would like to take this order and tell her intimately that she can’t make a design if she doesn’t understand the size just by looking at the photos. If she wants to make a good-looking design, she’d better tell her the size of the gemstone.

The client didn’t understand this, so she could only add her contact information, saying that the next time she got the sunstone, she would ask her to design. I hope she can spare the time because she is very anxious to use it.

Lu Qiaowei said yes.

She used to make designs with diamonds and pure metals. It was the first time she encountered a daystone. She planned to make some information, but this kind of gemstones are too rare, and there is no picture of jewelry. Those on Taobao, just look at them. Imitations, more than a dozen beads strung together are considered jewelry, and they have no learning value.

She touched the official websites of major luxury goods and searched for a long time, only to see a naked stone on the official website of DMD, but it was still anonymously photographed.

While watching, Wen Jinyan sent a message and asked her what she was doing.

Lu Qiaowei hadn’t planned to return.

Wen Jinyan replied: [You are a bit indifferent to me today. 】

Lu Qiaowei: [I’m doing design, aurines, looking at the material. 】

【client? Male female? 】

Lu Qiaowei just typed “female”, deleted it again, and deliberately returned, [male, pretty handsome. 】

Wen Jinyan voiced over.

Just one “um”, but the voice was very cold.

Lu Qiaowei said again: “Didn’t you say that, if someone takes out the plagioclase, it is God’s guidance and a sign of love? Maybe they are my destiny, I must design it carefully.”

There was a long silence.

Wen Jinyan said in a deep voice, “I actually made it up.”

“Huh? What did you make up?”

“I made up the story of sunstone. Sunstone was later used to make jewelry. Really, sunstone is rarely produced, and it is the collection of the former royal family.”

Wen Jinyan’s voice was a little quieter, and in the second half of the sentence, the tone rose again, “Your client guessed it was an imitation, it’s a fake emperor.”

“…”

Lu Qiaowei became a little angry. She could hear the contempt in Wen Jinyan’s voice, “I think you are very disrespectful to my clients when you say that.”

Wen Jinyan: [Do not believe you Baidu. 】

No wonder she had not searched anything about the legend in Baidu for a long time before. Fortunately, she didn’t pretend to be knowledgeable today, otherwise she would be too embarrassed.

She gave an angry “Oh”, and after seeing Wen Jinyan’s voice call, she hesitated for a long time before answering it.

Wen Jinyan said: “If you want to make a good design, you have to understand it first. I have collected some sunstones. You can come and see what it looks like.”

She persuades her in a good manner, “I believe that with this design, you will be famous internationally.”

Lu Qiaowei is very excited, who doesn’t want to be famous, but she is even more confused, she clings to the line of defense, “the customer will show me when the time comes.”

Then there was silence, Wen Jinyan spoke very slowly, and his tone was a bit heavy, “Let me tell you the real meaning of the sunstone.”

“Didn’t you talk about it before? You lied to me.”

Wen Jinyan laughed, his voice a little cold, “That’s because I didn’t tell you the deeper meaning.”

Lu Qiaowei’s heart said what the deeper meaning is about my ass, but her mouth is not synchronized together, and she makes a suspicious “um”.

“The sun stone has another name, called the sun stone.”

Lu Qiaowei pretended to be indifferent, “So what?”

“So, come to my house.” Wen Jinyan suddenly became warm again, “I will show you the sun.”
