Chapter 68: Don’t Mess with Me
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Song Wei served as an assistant while modifying the design plan according to the requests relayed by Liu Shiying’s assistant.
This time, Liu Shiying mainly wanted a pair of eye-catching but not garish earrings.
Requirements:
It had to look luxurious but also subtle.
It had to preserve a classical theme, but the style had to be modern.
There had to be a lot of unique filigree segments, but not too much either.
The jade had to look striking, but it mustn’t let others think that this piece of jewelry was only valuable because of the jade stone.
In short, they were all descriptions that looked contradictory and were very deliberately making things difficult for others.
However, Song Wei was very good at extracting the feelings that Party A truly wanted from these fragmented requests. The modification process was relatively smooth.
She changed the original spherical design to a flat filigree circle. There was a squarish hole in the middle of the circle like a vintage window.
As for the jade stone, it hung in the hole like a small green lantern. It was as if one could see the scenery outside through it.
In fact, because many designs placed too much emphasis on the jewelry itself, designers kept thinking about having the gold complement the jade, or vice versa. However, they had never thought of creating a painting by pairing the different elements together. In this way, there would be no problem with whichever element took up more space.
Luo Lisha’s own filigree pattern designs were especially suitable for the artistic concept of a classic floral window.
Hence, when the two features were combined, they melded with each other very comfortably.
However, when she submitted the design drafts through Liu Shiying’s assistant, the answer she received was ‘I don’t like it. Next.’
The assistant, who sent the design drafts back, had a better personality. She told Song Wei secretly, “Actually, Sister Ying didn’t even look at your design. She doesn’t want to work with you at all. I advise you to give up early.”
“…could it be that she will only accept my designs if I undergo plastic surgery?”
The assistant nodded very helplessly. “Others might be joking when they say they have a thing for appearances, but our Sister Ying’s appearance complex is 100-percent genuine.”
“…”
“That’s all I can say to you. Give up. Don’t work hard but end up with no results.”
However, the more the assistant advised, the more it aroused Song Wei’s desire to challenge that.
As long as she could get Liu Shiying to take her design seriously, they would definitely be able to clinch this contract.
After tossing and turning for an entire day, the sky was already dark. Jin Wenxi did not have any scenes to film at night, so he could pack up and go home.
As for Song Wei, she helped the costume team pack their clothes and props.
Xiao Jing and her group ended work at the same time, too. When she thought about how Song Wei had treated her in the dressing room today and how she had been ignored by Jin Wenxi as well… Although she knew that Song Wei was not someone to be trifled with, she still felt indignant.
When Song Wei walked past her, Xiao Jing stuck her foot out at the same time.
Song Wei staggered a step because the costume was too thick, and she couldn’t quite see where she was going.
Xiao Jing took the opportunity to splash the cup of lemon tea in her hand onto her costume. “Aiya, what should I do? Why are you so careless as to bump into me?”
She knew that there were no surveillance cameras nearby.
The people nearby also surrounded them at once. “I heard that a set of clothing is already very expensive. What if you can’t wash it clean and leave a stain? What are you going to do?”
“You can’t even do such a simple thing well, yet you still want to be Brother Wenxi’s assistant. I really don’t know where you get your face from.”
Once again, Xiao Jing pretended to accidentally step on the belt that had fallen on the ground. “Aiya, I’m sorry. I didn’t see them. Why did you drop the clothes on the ground?”
Then, she picked up the belt from the ground in a coy manner and placed it back into Song Wei’s arms. She even scrutinized Song Wei from left to right with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
“Previously, I only thought that you looked ugly from a distance. I didn’t expect that you would look even uglier with a closer look. You’re hideous.”
Song Wei walked straight up and knocked her away. “Don’t provoke me.”
“You pushed me! Ugly freak, did I say something wrong? You’re ugly, and yet you won’t let others talk about it?” Xiao Jing chased after her relentlessly.
However, Song Wei executed a shoulder throw without warning, flipping Xiao Jing straight to the ground. “I told you not to provoke me.”
She couldn’t even be bothered to put on a show with these insignificant flies.
