Gem Merchant and Miss Diamond

This piece was designed by Lu Qiaowei High School. It is a pair of earrings. It is reasonable to make a pair, but when Lu Qiaowei designed it, she thought it was one and unique.

It's just that this work is darker than she imagined. The black diamond on the left looks like it's about to explode. It's not a problem with her design, but the inspiration of the producer.

Lu Qiaowei stared at it for a while, wondering why there was her design in Wen Jinyan's jewelry store, because the design didn't get a good ranking at the beginning, so she sold the design.

Wouldn't it be Wen Jinyan who bought the design?

That's not like that, she remembers that it was a middle-aged man who bought the design.

Lu Qiaowei went to other places again. Wen Jinyan's jewelry storehouse was very large, and the anti-theft measures were well done, and the door couldn't be opened. She looked outside and saw another amazing work.

It was a hanging ornament. In a small metal cage, there was a colorful thorn bird surrounded by black thorns. Next to the driftwood at its feet, there was a sun stone, which was very tall and shining. Light.

As if waiting to be reborn from the ashes, soaring into the sky.

The rest was big pieces of jewelry, chandeliers with rubies, rings with twisted arms, grotesques, you name it.

Lu Qiaowei briefly visited for a while, took the jewelry cleaning solution back to the bedroom, and cleaned the jewelry made of clothes carefully.

She didn't look carefully last night, but now she has to sigh, this level, this quality, is really beautiful.But wearing it on Wen Jinyan's body is a foil, and Wen Jinyan himself is more beautiful than these jewels.

It tastes so good, I want to eat it next time.

Lu Qiaowei thought happily, hung up the jewelry, and when she came out after wiping her hands, Wen Jinyan's car drove back. Lu Qiaowei stood on the balcony watching, seeing what the secretary kept talking about, holding a stack of documents in her hand , they don't look very good.

Wen Jinyan pushed away the document handed over by the secretary, with a sullen face and a firm attitude. Finally, the secretary sighed and put the document back.

Will Camille make trouble again?

Lu Qiaowei was a little anxious, when Wen Jinyan spotted her, looked up, waved at her, and smiled softly.

Lu Qiaowei thought of her previous design again.

The black diamonds keep encroaching and are about to explode.

She went downstairs, Wen Jinyan stood beside the car waiting for her, and asked, "Are you ready? I'll take you out to play."

"Is the company finished? I think the secretary has something to say." Lu Qiaowei asked, "Did something happen?"

The secretary said in a low voice: "It's okay, there's always news, and usually there won't be any problems. Moreover, with your design blessing, in fact, there is nothing to worry about."

Wen Jinyan opened the car door and asked Lu Qiaowei to go up, saying, "I've never liked excessive worry."

"Hey, you're just pretending to be relaxed. No matter how much external pressure is, you always have this expression, you're an optimist." Lu Qiaowei was not at ease and chatted with the secretary for a few words. The secretary nodded several times and avoided talking. Every time, she secretly looked at Wen Jinyan.

Lu Qiaowei was also secretly watching Wen Jinyan, always remembering that design.

In fact, she didn't like that design very much, it looked very depressing, especially with the addition of diamonds, it was too aggressive and blackened.

Lu Qiaowei admired Camille's "cage" design before, but now she can fully guarantee that "two-faced man" is a hundred times better than "cage".

Wen Jinyan drove Lu Qiaowei around in a car. There were many people in the scenic spots, so just take a look, and then take some photos as souvenirs. Wen Jinyan has good skills, and the photos are all beautiful.

What attracted Lu Qiaowei the most was the food in Paris. Every time she passed by a delicious restaurant, she excitedly pulled Wen Jinyan over and asked Wen Jinyan to pay her.

"Rich woman, you are so rich." Lu Qiaowei held the snacks she bought from the street, eager to try everything, it was so delicious.

"It's your money too." Wen Jinyan said, "I'll support you."

Lu Qiaowei laughed.

In the end, I went to buy some cosmetics. At least I came to Paris. I can’t leave empty-handed. I definitely want to bring some back to my relatives and friends.

Wen Jin said: "Buy something for both parents."

"I'm thinking about what to buy."

Wen Jin said: "Let me prepare, no matter what aunts and uncles you bring, they will like it, let me please them too."

Lu's father and Lu's mother now treat her very well, and there is no need to please her at all.

Lu Qiaowei could imagine what would happen in Moments after Wen Jinyan bought something.

Especially her dad's.

Lu Qiaowei said: "The tea set you bought last time, as long as my dad comes home, he will show it to his friends. A friend of my dad said that if the tea set is real, at least 30 yuan, hahaha. "

Wen Jinyan hummed.

Lu Qiaowei laughed and looked at her in horror, "Isn't it?"

Wen Jinyan said: "I'm an executive of a jewelry company anyway, so it's not good to buy fake products for my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law? Why are they called that? Can't they be father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Lu Qiaowei said with a straight face, "You have a problem with your own perception, Wen Jinyan!"

"Okay, I will call you father-in-law and mother-in-law from now on." Wen Jinyan responded with a smile, saw her stop, turned to look over, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'll call my dad, it's worth hundreds of thousands, and it will be a family heirloom in the future!" Lu Qiaowei said seriously.

Wen Jinyan held her hand helplessly, "After that, there will be more family heirlooms, as long as you follow me, I will guarantee you popular food and spicy food, how about it?"

"Huh~" Lu Qiaowei still sent a message to her father, telling her father to pay more attention to it. The daughter-in-law must know the value of the gift.

After visiting a lot of stores, I brought back a lot of things, all of which were handled by Wen Jinyan, and Lu Qiaowei didn't know that it would be inconvenient to bring them back. Before, she always heard from her colleagues that she had to go to the duty-free shop to buy them, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

After returning home, Lu Qiaowei took out the things she had bought and tidied them up, took pictures and sent them to Qu Qingzhu, "Is there anything missing?"

"Buying so much, how much is the tax?" Qu Qingzhu asked.

"Wen Jinyan said that I don't need to bring it, she will mail it for us." Lu Qiaowei just took two pieces of clothes back. Wen Jinyan said that she designed them before, so she wanted Lu Qiaowei to wear them back and have a look.

Oh, as an added note, they are all serious clothes.

Lu Qiaowei sent a circle of friends to show her affection.

Lying on the bed at night, preparing to do some exercise, Lu Qiaowei had something hidden in her heart and refused Wen Jinyan's kiss.

She propped her chin, thought for a while, and said, "I went to see your jewelry store today."

Wen Jinyan was slightly stunned, and looked at her, "What's the matter, what did you see?" Then, she paused again, "Do you have a design you like? I'll get it for you later."

Lu Qiaowei said anxiously: "I don't want anything, why is that design in your place, do you know who the designer is?"

Afraid that she would not remember, Lu Qiaowei prepared to describe clearly, Wen Jinyan nodded and said, "Yes, he is a very powerful designer with great artistic talent. I have never seen such an excellent designer."

Lu Qiaowei pushed Wen Jinyan, "Don't say rainbow farts, answer seriously!"

"I'm very serious." Wen Jinyan said, "Isn't the designer you? What am I wrong about?"

It made sense, the serious atmosphere was interrupted at once, Lu Qiaowei didn't hold back, and curled her lips proudly, "OK, OK, then how did you get this work, it's just that double-faced man."

"Now it's not called Two-Face, it's called 'Suddenly Beating Heart', how about it, I gave it a new name."

Wen Jinyan also looked at her expectantly, Lu Qiaowei pursed her lips, "It's fine, you are also very talented, actually, I think it's more appropriate to call her a protruding heart."

Because of the anti-theft glass, Lu Qiaowei didn't know whether the structure inside was firm or not. When she looked at it, she always felt that the black diamond was about to protrude.

"Where did you get this design?" Lu Qiaowei asked her nervously. It's been almost ten years since this happened, and she never expected to see this design again.

"I bought it. Didn't you sell the design at the beginning?" Wen Jinyan said, "This is what I'm confused about, why did you sell it?"

why?

Lu Qiaowei smiled and said: "It's not easy, it's about making money. At that time, my parents supported me and burned a lot of money in the competition. I have to get the money back."

When engaging in design, there is no time when you don’t burn money.

"Is it sad." Wen Jinyan asked softly, "At that time."

Mentioning this design, Lu Qiaowei held her breath in her heart. She took two breaths and said in a choked voice: "I think back then, I was also crazy and infinite, and I was invincible all over the world."

Wen Jinyan listened carefully, being her audience.

Lu Qiaowei said: "To be honest, the beginning is the pinnacle."

Wen Jinyan listened carefully, Lu Qiaowei turned sideways and said, "You remember I told you that I won a big prize before."

"I know, we are so powerful."

Lu Qiaowei shook her head.

"Actually not." Lu Qiaowei is a person who likes to brag, but she seldom mentions this matter, and she won't include this match in her resume even when she is working.

At that time, she hadn't formally come into contact with design. It was a very accidental opportunity. She went to a bookstore to read comics, and then turned to the call for contributions, and saw that there was a reward of 50 yuan for entering the audition.

At that time, she liked reading that manga, and she really wanted to buy it. Thinking that she would sometimes draw for fun, she planned to try it.She saved up her breakfast money for a few days to buy an envelope, drew a lot of designs and sent them to the competition.

Afraid that she would be cheated, she secretly went to the Internet cafe with Qu Qingzhu to check, and was almost caught and broken by her mother. Fortunately, there was indeed such a competition.

At the beginning, she really didn't have any hope, and felt sorry for her few dollars every day.Every time she buys breakfast, she has to have a bitter heartbreak with Qu Qingzhu, even if Qu Qingzhu says to treat them, it can't make up for the loss of those few dollars.

Until the first year of high school, the school held a morning meeting, and the grade group took an invitation letter and said on it that Lu Qiaowei, a high school freshman in our school, had been shortlisted for the design competition, and everyone applauded.

Crashing, the slaps were uneven.

Lu Qiaowei hooked up with Qu Qingzhu at the bottom, jokingly chatting about the comics she read, and after a while, she realized that when everyone looked at her, she realized, fuck, am I really nominated?

Not only was she shortlisted, but she also had money. The finalists rewarded her with 50 yuan. The school praised her and rewarded her with an extra 100 yuan. They also took a photo of her and put up a banner that read: Good news, warm congratulations to our school’s freshman year Freshman student Lu Qiaowei won No.1 in the audition...

Lu Qiaowei was so smug, she became a celebrity in the school in no time, standing on the rostrum at the opening ceremony and stammering her speech, she was even more beautiful than the first in the grade.

Can be arrogant.

That day, she took the money to go to the comic shop to spend, and invited Qu Qingzhu to eat the steamed buns that she had been thinking about for a long time, but she didn't plan to participate in the finalists.

Lu Qiaowei went to high school in the city. Although it is a city, it is the smallest prefecture-level city. It is so barren that it will die. The competition has to go to the largest city.

She hasn't been out of the city yet, and she doesn't have the conditions to go.

Later, I asked the art teacher at the school to know about it, and I kept recommending her to go to the competition, as if I went out to see the world, and took Lu Qiaowei to learn the basics.

The conditions at that meeting were really bad. She didn't have a computer yet, and she didn't know the painting software on the computer at all, so she went to the school's computer class every day.

When it was time for the play-in competition, the art teacher accompanied her to go. Really, it was the country bumpkins entering the city. She thought that there were not many people participating. During the competition, she found that the art field was full of people.

Everyone is very nervous, and Lu Qiaowei is also nervous. The topic is very open, just improvising, asking them to design a design that suits them.

Lu Qiaowei didn't think too much, so she chose the subject of pressure.She designed it very handy, and she also thought of a name: Torricelli

The great man who discovered atmospheric pressure.

After finishing the painting, she heard others talk about how to design pearls, gemstones, light luxury and high luxury, to be grand and luxurious.

How could Lu Qiaowei understand that, thinking that she was out of action, so she went back to continue her class, and after the limelight passed, everything returned to calm.

Ordinary campus life, plus the most ordinary she, is still hesitating whether to continue studying art. The cost of art is too high, and she is too embarrassed to talk to her parents.

Unexpectedly, within a month, the school's happy announcement was replaced by: Warm congratulations to Lu Qiaowei of our school for winning the No.1 finalist of the design competition.

This time, it wasn't just that she was popular in school. The whole city knew that there was a student named Lu Qiaowei. The school gave her a lot of support, exempted her from studying fine arts, and let her specialize in fine arts.

Lu Qiaowei herself is also stupid, I am the number one when I draw casually like this, I am so praised after being stupid, I am the number one, so I am very awesome, right?

She was still very modest at school, afraid of being beaten for being too arrogant.When people asked her, she always said it was average, but she actually thought that I was No.1.

In the group stage and the knockout stage, she was the No. [-] player without any surprise.After that, many people imitated her themes and made some theorems to attract the attention of the competition.

But Lu Qiaowei's style has changed a lot. She designed "Torricelli" for the first time, "Archimedes" for the second time, and "Hanging Head" for the third time...

Starting from the semi-finals, the competition party arranged mentors for everyone, saying that their designs should not be allowed to continue to grow wildly, and told them that they won the places this time, and they would go to participate in the international competition, and they should not embarrass the country.

Later, the competition method was changed. It is no longer based on fantasy design, but should be designed according to the shape of gemstones.

When others had a headache, Lu Qiaowei called so easy in her heart, because she had never seen any jewelry, so she could only imagine the structure of the gemstone, and had to search a lot of information online.

However, things are not that simple.

In the subsequent training, the instructor kept asking her to copy other people's works, and asked her to imitate the works of high-end designers, saying that only practice makes perfect, and only then can she design the highest-quality works.

Lu Qiaowei was really in pain, she couldn't draw anymore, it wasn't hers, no matter how much she changed it, she couldn't make the design she wanted the most.

Some contestants improved everything very well, and were praised if they met the teacher's standards, and some, like her, couldn't hold on and retired.

Lu Qiaowei couldn't change anything. She tried her best to listen to the theory class every day. She competed with herself and didn't want to give up. She thought she could do it. At first, the teacher was easy to talk to, but later on she demanded more and more.

At that time, her mentor was very dissatisfied with her, saying that her thoughts were very turbulent, but in fact she knew nothing about jewelry, and she didn't know what jewelry is at all.

He even said that she is a hardworking player who can only make up for her own shortcomings by working hard. In fact, she knows nothing and has no talent at all. He said that what he regrets most is bringing Lu Qiaowei, who is the worst student.

The most memorable thing is that when she submitted a work once, the referee teacher directly rejected her and said cruelly: "Lu Qiaowei, you are such a liar. You used hard work to disguise yourself as a genius."

Lu Qiaowei felt that her breathing was wrong.

She is the first competition, the first design.

Among all the contestants, she is the youngest, and she can't handle this kind of emotion at all. She can only apologize to the teacher and admit her mistakes to the teacher. The number of times, she bowed to the teacher and said: "No need, Lu Qiaowei, make yourself smarter , is the best apology."

Later in the game, make jewelry designs based on jewelry.

Lu Qiaowei was particularly struggling. She could either follow the teacher's copy and follow the traditional and trendy design of a wealthy family, or follow her own style...

As you can imagine, she chose the latter.

During that time, she felt as if she had been taught to be a double-faced person, and the dark side was eroding her, making her unhappy, making her unhappy at all.

When Lu Qiaowei recalled this past, she was in a very restless mood. At the end of the talk, Lu Qiaowei said: "It's going to the finals later. They gave me an award, which is the award I told you about."

Wen Jinyan's face darkened.

Lu Qiaowei said, "Award for hard work."

In a talent competition, the competition gave her a hard work award, and said that contemporary young people should study like her underage and work hard.

Lu Qiaowei let out a breath, "Anyway, I'm not convinced."

"They are all blind." Wen Jinyan frowned, and said coldly: "You should not be convinced, you are very talented."

"Of course, I think so too, so I did something." Lu Qiaowei said slowly: "I sold the work I designed, and the price was higher than the price set by the competition. I have to prove it."

"But……"

She didn't go on talking later, but Wen Jinyan knew the ending. The competition said that she acted recklessly because of her young age, disrupting the market and ignoring the rules of the competition.

Then it was published in the newspaper and she was directly suspended from the competition.

All the fame she had accumulated before was overthrown at this moment, and she became an arrogant, conceited, willful, and princess sick spirit.

Someone scolded her for being a stinky child who played tricks on the teachers in the competition and forcibly dragged away a quota for going abroad.

Some people even asked her: "Lu Qiaowei, do you have bipolar disorder? I am the only one, and a little hard work is great."

"Look at you, your mood is high, you feel good about yourself, you are elated every day, and you are still arrogant. When others refute you, you become manic. You must be sick. If you are sick, you should go back for treatment and don't go out."

"Ah, I still suggest you go back and see a doctor. Really, your front design is okay, but the back can't keep up with the rhythm. It's very ordinary."

"It's ridiculous that an ordinary person still wants to make money on the same day, and I feel sorry for those geniuses who have been squeezed out of the quota."

These words were written carelessly on the blackboard newspaper.

Lu Qiaowei took a deep breath, hummed twice, and said to Wen Jinyan: "I'll go back when I go back. I don't care about that idiot contest. Later, I sold that design for 3 yuan, excluding my parents. I still earn [-] yuan, which can be used as a year's study expenses."

Wen Jinyan said, "You didn't study art either."

Lu Qiaowei hummed, her voice became hoarse, "I don't want to study anymore, I later transferred to culture class, and I don't want to study art class, it's boring."

In fact, what saddened her the most was not the loss of No.1, but the suspicious eyes of the people around her, as if under a spell. Someone comforted her and said, "Vivi, you are great, you have worked hard... "

There was a thorn stuck in her throat, and she kept thinking, am I really a hardworking person?Did I get to the end through hard work?

In the end, she didn't dare to study seriously, she was so afraid, so afraid that others would find that she was working hard, she was working hard, even if she was doing homework, she would hide it, she only dared to study secretly at night, and she didn't dare to let others find that she was working hard, and then praised her. She: Diligence can make up for one's weakness, talent is not enough to make up for it with diligence.

All praise has become a deadly blade.

Little by little, it made her doubt life, and finally she could only admit: Look, I am just an ordinary person, I still have a bad mouth, and I like to offend people, just live a good life, and just mess around when I grow up money.

Relying on this idea, as well as the remaining love of design, she mustered up the courage to choose jewelry design in college, just to be an ordinary small designer.

Although tired, but simple and happy.

Fuck bipolar, she's just positive.

"Weiwei." Wen Jinyan said earnestly, "You are very talented and amazing. When I collected that work, I was amazed by you."

Lu Qiaowei arched into her arms, holding back tears in her red eyes, "That's right, I'm a rare genius."

Wen Jinyan put his palm on her back and patted her lightly, "I'm serious, every word of praise I tell you is serious, I'm serious to coax you, and I'm serious to praise you .”

"Thank you." Lu Qiaowei kissed her on the chin, "Actually, it's been so long, no one has praised me so much, and I don't care anymore. Hehe, I'm very happy now."

Wen Jinyan pursed his lips in silence.
