C8 Observe the Couple
He seemed to be kind. Ning Jiang heaved a sigh of relief and forced herself to calm down.
The waiter brought two cups of coffee. The exquisite flower patterns on the coffee were exactly the same as the logo Xue Chen gave her on the business card. Ning Jiang guessed that this was the store of Ms. Sun.
"I have more or less understood what Miss Ning wanted to talk to me about today. " Before Ning Jiang could say anything, Vice Director Wang went straight to the point. "But I am very curious about a small shop like yours. Don't all of you want to work with big brands? What? Do you think the Shi Cheng isn't famous enough?"
Ning Jiang shook her head, "You misunderstood."
She was sincere and told Vice Director Wang about Gu Xiu's idea of making private customized jewelry. Seeing that he was listening seriously, she also made it clear that she was a jewelry designer. She wanted to design a unique piece of jewelry and not just to make money.
"I can understand what you mean, and I can understand your feelings. " After Vice Director Wang heard Ning Jiang's narration, he put his hands on the table. He looked a little awkward." But you also know that I just finished discussing the collaboration with Miss Li two days ago. The upper management of the company had also included the acquisition plan into the latest standby, and now it was temporarily canceled. This... "
" If there is a need for compensation or something like that, "Ning Jiang knew that if there was really a need for compensation, she definitely would not be able to afford it. But she still gritted her teeth and said," I can also accept it. "
Vice Director Wang did not say anything, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
Ning Jiang was embarrassed to urge him. Even though she was anxious, she could only wait patiently.
"How about this, Miss Ning, I think of a way. ” Vice Director Wang frowned and pushed up his glasses. He said slowly, "You said you are a jewelry designer. Why don't you design a new diamond ring? If you have talent in designing, the leader will think so too. I can talk to them and let Shi Cheng support your jewelry store to continue making private customies. You can also come to the Shi Cheng. We'll hire you as the chief designer. "
Ning Jiang was stunned, "Design a diamond ring?"
Vice Director Wang nodded. "Within a month, we might still have time to terminate the contract. What do you think?"
Ning Jiang lowered her head and thought for a moment before answering, "Okay, I have no problem." There was no other way now. Since Vice Director Wang could help her negotiate, it was normal to give some conditions.
Moreover, this condition was to see if she had the ability or not. It was understandable.
Vice Director Wang appreciated Ning Jiang's straightforward attitude. He clapped his hands and smiled. "Then, you should use 'love' as the theme."
Love?
Ning Jiang blinked her eyes and was a little confused.
"I still have a meeting, so I'll be leaving first." Vice Director Wang got up and reminded her again before he left. "Miss Ning, remember, if you can't design a diamond ring that satisfies the Shi Cheng in a month's time, ___ said. Then there's nothing I can do."
Ning Jiang nodded her head seriously.
On the way back, she had been thinking about where to start.
Although the theme of love was very easy to design, it was very easy to fall out of the norm. This was the biggest taboo when they made private bookings. Ning Jiang cherished this opportunity and did not want to be too hasty. She was also bitter that she did not have any experience in love, so her understanding of the word "love" was very little.
She decided to start from the beginning.
Ning Jiang started to read romance novels and love movies. She hugged a tissue and cried on the sofa. In the end, when she woke up, she still did not have any thoughts about love.
She dug out a pile of information that she had accumulated a long time ago and combined it with all kinds of works by designers from both China and abroad, trying to get some inspiration from it.
But it was useless.
Ning Jiang had been working hard for two days and two nights, but she was still stuck at the bottleneck of her composing.
Qin Zhe had not come back for the past two days. She was anxious about her plan, so she did not bother about him. She did not know that Qin Zhe was also worried about one thing.
"Director Qin, the news from B City, do you want to go there personally?" Xue Chen was Qin Zhe's assistant. He just received a Fax and passed it to Qin Zhe.
Qin Zhe, who was sitting in the boss's chair in a well-ironed suit, frowned and raised his eyebrows sharply.
"Book the nearest plane ticket." Qin Zhe said in a deep voice.
Xue Chen agreed, but was stopped when he went out.
"What has she been busy with recently?" Qin Zhe did not look up. He asked as he looked at the faxed message in his hand.
Ning Jiang was not in a hurry to not return home for three days. She had no conscience! After she saw Vice Director Wang, she did not even call him!
Xue Chen choked, "I will go and take a look for you in the afternoon."
"Yes, let's go out." Qin Zhe waved his hand.
Xue Chen closed the door with great bitterness and hatred.
He was the assistant of the president, but why did he look like a spy now?
Ning Jiang could not find a way to break through and felt annoyed in her heart, so she called Soong Xiaoqing to spit out bitter water.
When Soong Xiaoqing heard that, she laughed loudly, "Isn't it simple? Just you wait, I will bring you to dig for inspiration!" She was doing her internship in the hospital and was usually not very busy. She applied for leave from the foreman and rushed to Ning Jiang's house at noon.
"You really have a way?" Ning Jiang, under Soong Xiaoqing's urging, changed her clothes and went out with her, but she was still a little suspicious.
"Art originates from life." Soong Xiaoqing held Ning Jiang's arm and said in a straight line, "Have you heard this sentence?"
Ning Jiang nodded, "You mean... we are going to experience life? To dig up inspiration?"
"Smart!" Soong Xiaoqing patted her head in praise, "Have you never seen a pig run before you have never eaten pork? You have never been in a relationship before, and you have never seen anyone in a relationship? Let's go and observe those young couples!"
The two of them jogged downstairs, and Xue Chen just happened to drive the car to the corner in front of them.
Ning Jiang felt that the license plate number was somewhat familiar and could not help but take another look.
Xue Chen saw Ning Jiang looking at him through the windshield and was frightened to the point of retreating. It was not until Soong Xiaoqing pulled Ning Jiang away that he slowly poked his head out from under the steering wheel.
The CEO had instructed that he could not let Ning Jiang discover that he was observing her life. Otherwise, he would be fired.
Xue Chen felt bitter in his heart, but he did not dare to complain. He could only take the salary of his assistant and follow her. He felt wronged.
"11: 52, Miss Ning and her female partner go out. Their whereabouts are unknown." Xue Chen wrote a line of words on the notebook he carried with him. Then he drove around the neighborhood. When they walked out of the door, Ning Jiang and Soong Xiaoqing did not walk very far.
He drove at a turtle speed on the road, attracting the attention of many pedestrians.
Next time, he had to apply for a bicycle from the CEO to make it easier for him to keep an eye on it.
Xue Chen muttered to himself, turned off the engine, and got off the car. He sneakily followed ten meters behind Ning Jiang.
Ning Jiang did not notice at all.
"Let's go to the cinema," Soong Xiaoqing pointed to the shopping mall in front of her and said confidently, "There is a movie about couples in that cinema." After she said that, she pulled Ning Jiang and went in to buy tickets.
Although it was not the weekend, the cinema was as crowded as usual. Especially recently, there was a newly released Youth Film with a very good reputation. Many young couples came to watch it.
The couples' venue was different from normal venues. The seats were all pairs of small sofas. When Ning Jiang and Soong Xiaoqing entered the screening room, they saw that a few couples were already hugging each other.
"Did you see that? This is love. It is the attraction of hormones between men and women." Soong Xiaoqing leaned close to Ning Jiang's ear and pretended to be deep in thought.
Ning Jiang was amused by her words and found a seat to sit down.
