Wen Ran was so focused on business design that he forgot all about food and sleep.

On Wednesday, she finally felt confident that she had a satisfactory answer.

After the lunch break, Wen Ran took the drawing and knocked on Ding Yao's office door.

"Please come in."

Wen Ran pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Ding Yao typing on the keyboard as if she was busy. She said briefly: "Mona, this is a work I participated in for commercial design."

Ding Yao didn't look up: "There are still two days until Friday, why don't you change it?"

Her tone of voice is brisk, making people unconsciously let go of the sense of distance.

Wen Ran raised the corner of his mouth: "I won't change it."

Ding Yao raised her eyes and stretched out her hand: "Let me take a look at your artwork."

Wen Ran handed it over.

Ding Yao took it with one hand, glanced at it, tilted her head, and then held the drawing paper with both hands to read.

Wen Ran felt that this feeling was more nervous than the teacher looking at her design.

Ding Yao looked at it for a while, then put the drawing on the table with a playful smile on her face: "Tell me about it?"

Wen Ran nodded and walked closer: "This white ice jadeite has a round shape, so I think it can be inlaid with a classic style, which is versatile for daily use and will not go out of style, and then make a bamboo ring to add a sense of uniqueness and fashion.

."

Ding Yao nodded and agreed: "Simple, but not simple, quite interesting."

She looked at Wen Ran with admiration in her eyes: "Wen Ran, it's rare for a designer of your age to have this idea of ​​simplifying complexity."

Is this a compliment?

Wen Ran curled her lips: "Thank you."

Ding Yao seemed to like this design very much. She picked up the drawing and looked at it again: "The name is also very good, 'Yuzhu'."

Ding Yao put down the drawing and smiled at Wen Ran: "This is my favorite among the drawings I have received so far."

Wu Yunshan has already submitted a work. In other words, is it better than hers?

Wen Ran's eyes were so happy that she said, "Thank you."

"Wait for the good news." Ding Yao raised her eyebrows meaningfully.

Wen Ran felt reassured.

She thanked her twice more before leaving Ding Yao's office.

When she came out, she felt that many people in the office were looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, but she had no time to pay attention to these scrutinizing eyes. She was so happy that she seemed to be floating.

Ivy saw Wen Ran's triumph in her eyes, and gossiped: "Are you so happy?"

Wen Ran pursed her lips and nodded: "Yes."

"Did you praise me?"

Wen Ran nodded again.

Ivy was also happy for Wen Ran and grabbed her wrist: "Congratulations."

Wen Ran felt that the quota should be exhausted, and the next step would be the entries.

However, Chen Xing suddenly assigned work tasks to Wen Ran, so time became tight again.

After such a busy time, it’s a new Monday.

In the first round of commercial design, the director will eliminate less creative works.

Wen Ran is confident that she will not be removed.

So when the results came out, Ivy and Li Wan were more surprised and excited than she was.

Wen Ran was also happy inside, feeling that things were developing in an orderly manner towards the goal. She felt relieved and wanted to go home, so she booked a flight back to Country M at 8pm on Friday night.

During lunch on Friday, Li Wan chatted with her blind date on her mobile phone, and then shyly said: "My blind date..."

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Ivy was very interested.

Li Wan: "Didn't I say last time that you would accompany me to meet him? Then...is that okay this Saturday?"

Ivy said cheerfully: "Okay."

"Li Wan, I can't." Wen Ran apologized, "I have to go home this week."

Li Wan curled her lips in disappointment: "That's it."

Ivy: "Can't I help you see it? I'm not telling you, Wen Ran has never been in love, what can she help you see?"

Li Wan picked up the phone: "I'll ask him."

After a while, Li Wan put down the phone: "I mentioned to him last time that I wanted to bring two friends. To avoid embarrassment, he said he also brought two brothers, so how about we make an appointment next weekend?"

Ivy grunted: "Is his brother single?"

"should be."

"Okay." Ivy raised her hand and put it on Wen Ran's shoulder, "Wen Ran, would you like to make an appointment in advance next week?"

Wen Ran nodded, his eyeballs dark and bright: "Actually, you can call me Ran Ran, my family and friends all call me that."

"Then you can call me Weiwei." Ivy looked at Li Wan, "What about you? Wanwan?"

Li Wan shook her head: "My mother calls me Xiaowan."

Ivy joked: "Xiao Wan? Small basin? Small bucket? Hahahaha——"

Li Wan pretended to be angry: "Then you should call me Teacher Li!"

Ivy's smile didn't stop and she waved her hand to refuse: "Now I can't say the three words "Teacher Li".

Wen Ran acted as peacemaker: "Xiao Wan is very nice."

"Yes." Li Wan replied, "Ran Ran sounds good too."

The change of names made Wen Ran feel that the relationship between the three of them had really been classified from colleagues to friends.

Wen Ran slept on the plane, and it was around four o'clock in the afternoon in country M when he landed.

She said hello in advance, but neither Zhai Chengjing nor Zhai Xinyi came to pick her up. The family driver came to pick her up.

Wen Ran got in the car and asked, "Uncle Zhao, is the company very busy recently?"

"That should be true. Mr. Bai often goes to the company, and Mr. Zhai sometimes comes to the house to see Mr. Bai in the middle of the night."

Wen Ran knew nothing about all this, so he just replied Nunuu: "Oh."

"But knowing that you are coming back, Mr. Bai asked the kitchen to cook a big meal today, and Mr. Zhai and Miss Zhai will come."

After hearing this, Wen Ran felt a warm feeling in her heart.

After arriving home, the first thing Wen Ran did was to go to Bai Weiliang's studio: "Teacher!"

Bai Weiliang turned his head and smiled kindly: "I'm back."

"Well, teacher, what are you doing?"

"necklace."

Wen Ran lifted a chair and sat about three meters away from Bai Weiliang. She quietly watched him work.

The studio was so quiet that you could hear the sound of tools polishing metal. Wen Ran hadn't heard this sound for a long time.

Bai Weiliang was buried there, and the light shone from the front, clearing all the wrinkles and marks on his face.

His hair seems to be longer, but not there at all; it seems to be whiter, but not there at all...

Wen Ran didn't know what he was feeling in his heart.

Bai Weiliang lifted the metal on his hand and checked the gloss and curves. As if he was satisfied, he put it aside.

Bai Weiliang turned around and said, "If there's anything fun, tell me."

Wen Ran's affairs in Shanghai were all secret and she couldn't go into details. She could only say coyly: "It's nothing interesting."

"What about the 'Southern School' jade carving craftsmanship? Didn't you say you were interested?"

"Learning."

"So there are no results yet?"

Wen Ran lowered his head: "..."

Every word she says feels like Ling Chi.

Bai Weiliang knew Wen Ran's temperament. She was interested in jade carving when she was thirteen years old. At that time, she studied with a jade carving master from the "Yang School". She had a good grasp of theory and everything, but she couldn't do it once she got started. These crafts require special attention.

She was talented, but the master later declined and stopped teaching her.

But this little girl is confused, she practices persistently.

With no one to teach or guide me, I persisted for more than two years relying solely on the theoretical knowledge I learned.
