After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

“Nice design.”

Since communicating with Zhu Jin, Wu Ma's Chinese expression has become more and more fluent and smooth, and he can even express his meaning in very short sentences.

"But." Wu Ma pointed to the places where time shifted several times, "It's not easy to design here."

From a craftsman's perspective, Zhu brocade's designs are exquisite, but difficult to design and create.

"I can understand your design."

Wu Ma shook her head, "But I'm afraid I won't have enough time."

Hand carving and production are completely different from machines.

Handicraft requires the craftsman himself to have a strong imagination and spatial construction ability, and he has to think about it thousands of times every time he starts.

If there is enough time, Wu Ma can take his time and do a good job.

But at the moment, it is obvious that this possibility is not high.

Although the time given in the competition is sufficient, it is not particularly sufficient compared to manual work.

This is why Diona was shocked that Huo Anan chose her.

Diona is famous for her slow and meticulous work, and everyone is afraid that she will not be able to finish in time, resulting in their work not being presented in the best possible way.

Although everyone knows that Diona's craftsmanship is very delicate, it can even be said that the works she produces are much more delicate and complete than those of others.

However, everyone was also worried that she could only complete part of the jewelry design, making the jewelry set a defective product.

In this way, even if the completed part is perfect, the score obtained will still not be higher than others.

"If we don't have enough time, we may not be able to make such a craft." Wu Ma explained to the people seriously. He turned the design drawing again and pointed at the pendant on the necklace. "And here. You should want to make this kind of craft, right?"

Wu Ma made a glittering gesture with her right hand.

Zhu Jin nodded.

"Well, I plan to create this kind of effect."

Wu Ma shook her head. "It's hard to make it in a short time. Even if you and I work together, it's hard to complete the design of this set of jewelry."

In this set of jewelry, only the earrings are the simplest, and not much craftsmanship is used in the design.

Whether it is a pendant or a ring, the craft of rotating light and shadow requires a lot of time and effort, and it is not suitable to be completed in a short period of time.

If only a part is needed, Wu Ma can work overtime to make the finished product.

Zhu Jin stared at the designed content, thoughtfully.

If the craftsmanship is simplified, both the artistry of the jewelry and the meaning hidden within it will be weakened, which is not what she wants.

Zhu Jin's fingertips gently slid across the design drawing.

She also knew that it was a bit too much to ask Wu Ma to complete it in a short period of time.

This is also a key point of the Mallow Award competition.

You not only design, you also have to race against time during the creative process. Only the final product can represent your work.

"The organizing committee has given us a lot of time to come up with the design," Wu Ma said. "Do you want to think about it again? In fact, the topics we proposed earlier can also be considered."

Zhu Jin did not reply, his eyes fixed on the design drawings in front of him.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Seeing that Zhu Jin still had no intention of paying attention to him, Wu Ma quietly left and helped close the door of the workshop.

……

"So, you mean that all the previously agreed cooperation will be invalidated?" Huo Jingcheng said in a flat tone, with no ripples in his eyes, and looked calmly at the man in front of him.

Smith spread his hands to the man, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled helplessly, "I can't help it. You know, no matter how much we earn, we still have to abide by the law. What's more..."

"Your previous suggestion was good, but you also have a secret, don't you?" Smith slowly took out a cigar from the cigarette box on the table, lit it between his fingertips, brought it to his mouth, took a long puff of smoke, and exhaled.

In the cloud of smoke, both sides blurred each other's faces.

Smith spoke in an elegant London accent with a faint smile, "Huo, you should know better than others. With this sanction order, your path abroad is completely blocked. It's better to find another way. If you come to me, your family may still be hoping to let you go back."

Huo Jingcheng didn't reply and remained silent throughout.

Assistant Chen standing behind him had a frown that could kill a fly.

He and Erye rushed here in order to finalize the previous cooperation plan before Smith knew about it, and it would be best if he could sign it directly.

Who would have thought that after just arriving, Smith kept avoiding the question and finally directly refused after receiving the news, leading to the above conversation.

"Mr. Smith, isn't this inappropriate?" Assistant Chen couldn't help but ask.

Smith raised his long brown eyebrows. The cigar in his hand shook up and down with joy, and a lot of ashes fell on his pants.

"Hahahaha, inappropriate? Oh, Huo, your assistant is still not very sensible. Can you just say whether it's appropriate or not?"

Smith glanced at Assistant Chen meaningfully and reminded him, "You've been with Huo for quite some time. Don't you know what you can and can't say?"

Assistant Chen was silent.

He knew that he had been a little too much when he had forced himself to step forward just now.

In this situation, it was not even his assistant's turn to speak.

"Smith, it's not your turn to lecture my people." Huo Jingcheng said indifferently, "Since there is no willingness to cooperate, there is no need for us to continue the discussion."

Smith's beautiful deep amber eyes were full of teasing. "Huo, don't you think about it? You don't have anyone you can rely on behind you. Are you sure you still want to talk to me like this?"

"I advise you to either return to the Huo Group or find another way out as soon as possible. After this sanctions bill came out, the path you wanted to take has already been blocked," said Smith.

Huo Jingcheng glanced at him, turned his wheelchair, and asked Assistant Chen to help push him away.

Before leaving, Huo Jingcheng said without turning his head, "Smith, I thought we were at least friends."

Smith's hand holding the cigar paused slightly, then he laughed exaggeratedly.

"friend?"

"Master Huo, do you still need friends?"

Smith put the cigar in his hand on the table and said, "Okay, Huo, let's not talk about anything else, as "friends."

He deliberately emphasized those two words, as if full of mockery, "Let me remind you, you can't take this road anymore. Try another one. If you want to take another one, I can help you out for our friendship."
