Gem Merchant and Miss Diamond

For a long time, Lu Qiaowei didn't go to the coffee shop. Every time she passed by, she would think of the sunset that day and feel uncomfortable.

She understood Shen Zhuoyu.

Everyone has a different personality. Some people like exciting surfing, wanton and happy life; some people like stability and pursue plainness;

Satisfaction is different, and no one can laugh at anyone else.

Lu Qiaowei tossed and turned, couldn't sleep all night, and suddenly felt depressed. She posted a Moments: [Every gemstone is very mysterious, whether it is a legend in the past or a story in progress. 】

After sending, someone will reply in seconds.

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

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

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

Wen Jinyan said: 【If you like, I can tell you. There are many types of gemstones, such as tanzanite, lapis lazuli, aquamarine... Oh, by the way, besides moonstone, there is also sunstone . 】

Lu Qiaowei was interested in Sunstone, so she hurriedly replied: [What's the story about Sunstone? 】

[Sunstone, because of the effect of sunlight, it can reflect the dazzling golden light. It is named after changing colors according to the sunlight. It is a very precious jade, and its production is less than that of diamonds.You know the night pearl in ancient times, right?It is also one of them, but it is mostly used in navigation to indicate direction. 】

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

[Legends say that sunstone grows out of the mist. It is a treasure left by Helios, the ancient Greek god of the sun. 】

Wen Jin said: [I have one. 】

Lu Qiaowei clicked her tongue twice. She had to admit that Wen Jinyan was rich and knew a lot. She searched on Baidu for a long time but couldn't find this legend. She is really knowledgeable.

……

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

Generally, in meetings like this, everyone is drowsy, and basically no one listens, and only a few words are said, chanting slogans.

After entering the company in the morning, Qu Qingzhu revealed the news to Lu Qiaowei that her uncle is coming today, probably to discuss something important.

Lu Qiaowei had a very bad feeling, and felt that this matter had something to do with her.

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

The vice president said: "Designer Lu, the customers have responded very well to you, saying that you know a lot about gemstones, so I will leave this matter to you. After that, the newly established department must be handed over to you. If you start management, the company expects a lot from you.”

The cake painting is big, and they also promised a promotion and a salary increase. Usually they would throw their heads and blood when they heard it. Lu Qiaowei cheered up and said boldly: "Vice President, let me tell you a secret."

"Ok?"

Lu Qiaowei sighed and said, "Actually, I made it up. Knowing that customers don't know how to tell nonsense on purpose, when I meet someone who is really good at it, I'm also confused."

As she spoke, she said seriously: "DMD's executive officer is very powerful. Her resume is a few blocks away from mine. There is nothing she doesn't know. She knows the story of gemstones. I can guarantee that there is no one in the entire industry who is more knowledgeable than her." Knowledgeable, and..."

Qu Qingzhu pulled her under the table and said in a low voice, "Wei Wei, you're exaggerating."

If it wasn'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 said in a low voice, "I'm going to fool her, it's just a trick."

The vice president fell silent.

Lu Qiaowei said again: "The company expects so much from me, and I am also very grateful to the company. I can't harm the company. Why don't you ask that kind of super professional to talk about it?"

The vice president's expression was a bit ugly, probably because of Qu Qingzhu's face, he didn't lose his temper. After Lu Qiaowei finished speaking, she lowered her head and felt cold.

Coming out of the conference room, colleagues gathered around Lu Qiaowei and said, "Weiwei, you are too brave, you are not afraid of offending the vice president."

"Yeah, such a good opportunity, why not accept it."

Lu Qiaowei smiled reluctantly, "It's a good opportunity, but I'm not capable enough. I'm a designer who is going to work on a diamond project, how can I do it well. I refuse now, and the vice president just slapped me once, but if I Take it, if you don’t do it well, you will suffer black face every day.”

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

"Forget it, you can't do it, and we can't do it." The colleagues waved their hands, "The matter of the assistant can only be forgotten. If you are too busy, call us for help."

It's almost the end of the year now, and Lu Qiaowei is really too busy. She called a report to apply for an assistant before, but now it seems that she is yellow.

She thanked everyone for their kindness and returned to the office.

After a while, Qu Qingzhu came to her, which meant that the matter of recruiting assistants was over. On the surface, the superiors said that those who can do more work, let her bear it, but the actual meaning is that if she does not accept this project, it is a dream to want an assistant .

Qu Qingzhu asked: "This opportunity is quite big, don't you really want to go?"

"No, don't say that I don't know anything about the gem industry, I..." Lu Qiaowei paused, feeling a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Qu Qingzhu looked at her suspiciously.

"I'm a little confused right now. This kind of thing is very complicated, and you don't understand it." Lu Qiaowei sighed, she didn't want to mention this matter, and couldn't help but think about the stories Wen Jinyan told, which led her to go to work for the past two days. It seemed a little melancholy.

Qu Qingzhu said in her heart, how do you know I don't understand if you don't say anything?

She asked sensitively, "Is it related to Wen Jinyan?"

Lu Qiaowei looked surprised, and then said very restrainedly: "Not all of them, it's just a little bit related."

"Are you going to reject her love?"

Lu Qiaowei licked her lips, "I think it's better to be realistic."

Qu Qingzhu wanted to encourage her at all, thinking of Wen Jinyan's ability, "Are you sure you can hold on?"

Lu Qiaowei chuckled, "I can't stand? It's a joke, I can't afford to offend, and I can't hide from her. If I don't meet her, what else can she do to me."

With no confidence in her heart, she raised her voice, "I, Lu Qiaowei, won't meet if I say I won't meet."

Qu Qingzhu patted her on the shoulder, "You just decide."

She showed Lu Qiaowei the plan requested by the above, "Just take a look at it casually. Although the company didn'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 willfully.

"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 marry, and you will arrange a man for you, and you want to save money to buy a house by yourself."

Lu Qiaowei came from an ordinary family. Although her parents didn't ask her to be Voldemort or anything, she was very feudal in thinking and put a lot of pressure on her.She broke up with Luo, and her mother would send her a bunch of photos every week, wishing she could find single men from the whole city to go on a blind date with her.

She could only keep counting money and straighten her back.

Lu Qiaowei is considered a high-energy person, and she seldom has negative emotions, she couldn't help but sighed, and said: "It's okay, I can handle it alone, if I have money, I will be happy~ No matter how tired I am, I will be happy~"

Thinking about it this way, someone came to report to her with a resume in the afternoon, saying that they were here to be her assistant. Lu Qiaowei was stunned. What is the company doing here?

She was quite a young girl, she looked quite clever, Lu Qiaowei looked familiar, and asked, "Have we met?"

The little girl nodded, and then said, "I was transferred from the finance side."

Lu Qiaowei let out an oh, she passes by the financial department every day, and it is not unusual to see her, she looked at the information of the little girl, she has a pretty good education, her name is Ding Yueyan.

Ding Yueyan added: "I used to be Director Yu's assistant. He said you didn't have enough manpower here, so I went to the personnel department and transferred me here."

Lu Qiaowei paused while flipping through the pages. No wonder, she thought the company was showing kindness. She looked at Ding Yueyan and said, "You can work in my office first. I'll give you an extra two thousand bonus, how about it?"

"Sister Xie Weiwei." Ding Yueyan said happily.

Her hands and feet were nimble, and she helped her clean up the table next to her when she came up, and the drawings were arranged for her according to the time, which was clear at a glance.

Lu Qiaowei usually doesn't like tidying up very much, and the drawings are always piled up together. With the help of this little girl, the things on the table are much cleaner and tidy. She was quite embarrassed and said, "You work quite neatly."

"I majored in accounting." Ding Yueyan sat down on the table next to her and helped her deal with emails and answer customers' questions with good efficiency.

After Lu Qiaowei came back from Christie's, she also met Yu Ruiyan a few times. Yu Ruiyan was not as eager as before, but he always took good care of her.

Yu Ruiyan did her a great favor, thank you both emotionally and rationally, she typed: [When this work is over, I will treat you to dinner. 】

Just when she was about to send it, Ding Yueyan gave her the timetable and said, "Sister Weiwei, you have an appointment at three o'clock in the afternoon, and you are going to DMD for an interview. Are you going to go?"

A few days ago, her cooperation with DMD was pushed to the end, and the work kept accumulating. Lu Qiaowei looked at the timetable and was in a daze.

Ding Yueyan waved her hand in front of her, "Sister Weiwei, what's wrong with you?"

It's embarrassing to ask.

Lu Qiaowei went to Qu Qingzhu to ask for leave.

Qu Qingzhu was also in a daze, then stared at her for a while, "Does your face hurt?"

Lu Qiaowei pointed to the leave form, "Well, I'll go now, I'll go back and change my clothes, interview, it's better to be serious."

Qu Qingzhu: "...Oh."

Sign it, and Lu Qiaowei goes home.

She has studied the clothes of DMD designers, and they are basically luxurious, which she cannot afford, so she chose a few high-quality brand products.

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

At first she was sitting in the lobby, thinking about going up when the time came, but the secretary came over, intending to take her to Wen Jinyan's office, Lu Qiaowei shook her head repeatedly, and said, "I'll just wait here, when the time comes interview room."

The secretary said: "The interview room is in our executive officer's office."

Lu Qiaowei felt that she was fooling herself. Although she had never seen the world, she also knew that it was impossible to go to the executive's office for an interview. She was obviously lying.

The secretary continued: "That's it. This is the first time we have hired an external designer, and our executive officer will also be interviewed. Moreover, the office of the executive officer is well-decorated with a high style, and 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, and the most nervous thing was meeting Wen Jinyan.

When she reached the door, she asked timidly: "Your executive officer is very busy recently, why don't I wait for her outside, I'm free anyway..."

"Not busy." The secretary directly opened the door and looked directly at the past. Wen Jinyan caught her eyes. She was wearing a black suit and was sitting at the desk flipping through magazines. She was a little different, 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 awkward to say or not to speak. She coughed and asked, "Are you short-sighted?"

"No." Wen Jinyan said, "It's called for promotion."

Lu Qiaowei: "..."

"Do you want it? I still have it here."

Wen Jinyan opened the drawer, and there were all kinds of glasses, which were pretty good. Lu Qiaowei shook her head and said, "No, thank you, I'm fine like this."

Wen Jinyan handed her a cup of coffee, told her not to be nervous, and sat beside her and asked her to talk with her, expressing that she was free.

"Tch, don't think I don't know. The secretary told me that you were working secretly when I couldn'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, feeling a little proud.She took a big sip of the coffee, it was a little hot, and her tongue was going numb.Fortunately, it's not bitter, otherwise I really can't spit it out and swallow it.

The two sat and chatted for a while, and the secretary brought a makeup artist over to change Lu Qiaowei's outfit so that it was closer to DMD's previous style.

"You don't need to change too much, she looks good in this way."

Wen Jinyan used a very formulaic tone, and he was so serious about his work, not the usual tone of voice, and he sounded very serious.

Lu Qiaowei felt a little beautiful in her heart, waiting for the makeup artist to make fine adjustments for her. The eye shadow and lipstick are all new joint products from DMD headquarters.

Originally quite small and fresh style, after being changed, the temperament has been raised a lot, and it looks a little charming.

The interview mainly asked about the source of inspiration and the design process. Lu Qiaowei didn't use those gorgeous words. To tell the truth, she even made a slight complaint about Wen Jinyan.

"I made more than 100 revisions that day, changed a lot of manuscripts, and stayed in DMD for a week, and finally finalized the original manuscript."

She looked at Wen Jinyan and said, "Miss Drill, you are really picky."

The old yin and yang got angry, Wen Jinyan sat on the high chair and flipped through the magazines with a smile on his lips.

The interviewer asked the final question, "What can you expect from future designs? Which gem would you most like to design for?"

Lu Qiaowei replied seriously: "I want to bring oriental art into the realm of high luxury. Oriental art has a lot of heritage. I want to reproduce more jewelry stories. I really like those distant and mysterious legends."

"Well, at present, I most want to design for Sunstone."

At the end of the interview, Wen Jinyan walked over to look at the interviewer's notes, and asked Lu Qiaowei, "It's still early, why don't we go have a drink together later?"

"No need." Lu Qiaowei refused, "I've been very busy recently."

"really?"

"Can this still be false?" Lu Qiaowei got up and said, "It's the end of the year, and we're going to compete for performance. What else do you need to cooperate? You can contact me again."

The editor-in-chief said: "It will be fine in the follow-up. We will send you the sample issue at that time."

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

Wen Jinyan looked at her leaving back, and frowned tightly.

Lu Qiaowei was indeed busy. She was going to meet a client who had a very rare sunstone.

The customer was about the same age as her, 25 and [-] years old, and spoke in a low voice. She asked her if she could help make a necklace. The customer showed her a photo of sunstone, which should be her own stone, which she took in her hand. The stone looks very translucent, with a golden light.

Lu Qiaowei wanted to take this order very much, and told the customer intimately, just looking at the photos, without knowing the size, can't make a design. If you want to make a good-looking design, you'd better tell her the size of the gemstone.

The customer didn't know about this, so he could only add her contact information, saying that he would look for her to design the next time he got the sunstone, and hoped that she could spare time, because she was in a hurry.

Lu Qiaowei said yes.

She used to design with diamonds and pure metals, and this is the first time she encountered sunstone, and she plans to make some materials, but this kind of gemstone is too rare, and there are no pictures of jewelry at all. For imitations, more than a dozen beads strung together are considered jewelry, and have no learning value.

She touched the official websites of various luxury goods, searched for a long time, and only saw a bare stone on the official website of DMD, which was photographed anonymously.

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

Lu Qiaowei didn't plan to go back.

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

Lu Qiaowei: [I'm designing, Sunstone, looking at the materials. 】

【client?Male or female? 】

Lu Qiaowei just typed "female", deleted it again, and deliberately replied, [Male, quite handsome. 】

Wen Jinyan's voice came over.

Just a "um", but the voice is very cold.

Lu Qiaowei said again: "Didn't you say that if someone takes out the sunstone, it is God's guidance and a sign of falling in love? Maybe he is my true son, I must make a good design."

There was a long silence.

Wen Jinyan said in a deep voice, "Actually, I made it up."

"Huh? What did you make up?"

"I made up the story of sunstones. Sunstones were only used to make jewelry later on. Real sunstones are rarely produced, and they were all collected by the former royal family."

Wen Jinyan's voice was a little low, but in the second half of the sentence, the voice rose again, "Your customer probably took a counterfeit product, a fake emperor."

"..."

Lu Qiaowei was a little angry, she could hear the disdain in Wen Jinyan's voice, "I think you are very disrespectful to my clients by saying that."

Wen Jinyan: [I don’t believe you Baidu. 】

No wonder she searched on Baidu for a long time before, but couldn't find anything about legends.Fortunately, she didn't pretend to be knowledgeable today, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

She said "oh" angrily, and when she saw Wen Jinyan's call, she hesitated for a long time before answering.

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

She tried to persuade, "I believe that after this design is completed, you will definitely be famous in the world."

Lu Qiaowei is very excited, who doesn't want to be famous, but she is more confused, she sticks to the defensive line, "Then the client will show me."

Then fell silent, Wen Jinyan spoke very slowly, with a heavy tone, "Let me tell you the true meaning of sun feldspar."

"Didn't you tell me before? You still lied to me."

Wen Jinyan laughed, with a cold tone, "That's because I didn't tell you the deep meaning."

Lu Qiaowei said in her heart that the deep meaning is none of my business, but her mouth didn't synchronize at the same time, so she gave a confused "hmm".

"Sunstone also has a name called Sunstone."

Lu Qiaowei pretended to be indifferent, "So?"

"So, come to my house, Dameng." Wen Jinyan suddenly warmed up again, "I'll show you the sun."
