Although the first place in the designer competition was given to me, I have been in Paris for three years, but I still can't compare to you.
Stop pretending, you must be laughing secretly in your heart."
Ruan Xingwan said: "You are quite funny. I have never thought of being superior to you. It's just you who have been secretly competing with me.
On the one hand, you know that your own strength is not as good as mine, but on the other hand, you feel that you went to Paris to study abroad and came back with a layer of gold, so I should be inferior to you."
She continued: "Whether it was the first place in the designer competition or the opportunity to study abroad in Paris, it was already three years ago.
The one who keeps making trouble about this is you."
Wen Qian said: "Don't talk about yourself as if you are righteous. Who doesn't know that you gave up this opportunity just for money? Do you still think you are nobler than me?
I don’t think that the works I designed are inferior to yours, I’m just not as lucky as you.”
Ruan Xingwan smiled lightly, turned and left without arguing with her.
Thanks to Wen Qian, otherwise she would never be able to hear the words "she is lucky" from other people in her life.
After Ruan Xingwan left, Wen Qian bit her lip, looked at the necklace in the trash can, and narrowed her eyes.
…
As soon as he reached the door, Ruan Xingwan was stopped by Lin Si.
Lin Si said: "Ruan, you came just in time, I have something to ask you."
The Ji family organized a charity jewelry dinner and collected jewelry from many wealthy ladies for auction. All proceeds from the auction will be used for charity.
As the first-tier jewelry magazine in China, Shengguang Magazine naturally received this invitation.
Lin Si discussed with the boss. First, Shengguang would bring out a long-cherished piece of jewelry to attend the dinner, and then let Ruan Xingwan and Wen Qian each bring out their own works. This would not only help Shengguang Magazine gain favor, but also
It can help the two designers gain visibility in the domestic jewelry industry, and they will have more high-end customers in the future.
It's just that the charity dinner is next weekend, so time is a bit tight.
Linsidao: "The works participating in the auction can also be ones you have designed before, and any category is acceptable."
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "I understand."
…
After returning home, Ruan Xingwan first sat at her desk and revised Lin Zhiyi's design draft. As she revised it, she thought of what Lin Si said today.
After marrying Zhou Cishen, she never touched a paintbrush again until she divorced and went to Shengguang Magazine, so she had no works in the past three years, and those three years ago... Looking back now, she is not satisfied with anything.
.
However, when she has inspiration, she will record it in her scratch pad.
Ruan Xingwan flipped through it, and the most vivid memory in his mind was the torn page in the notebook.
She sighed quietly. She didn't need to think about it to know the fate of that artwork. It must have been thrown into the trash can on Anqiao Long Street by Zhou Cishen.
Ruan Xingwan rummaged around on the table without any clue, but accidentally knocked something off.
When he reached out to pick it up, he found that it was the pocket watch found in Ruan Jun's place.
Ruan Xingwan opened his pocket watch, looked at the photo of the three people on it, and gently rubbed the edge with his fingers, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, she suddenly put down her pocket watch, opened her drawing book, and began to sketch.
After finishing the sketch, Ruan Xingwan stretched himself.
She looked at the time and saw that it was eleven o'clock.
After what happened last time, Aunt Zhang didn't call her, she just put the dinner in the pot and kept it warm over low heat.
It was just the right time for Ruan Xing to go out to eat in the evening.
By the time she finished eating, it was already half past eleven.
Zhou Cishen hasn't come back yet.
Ruan Xingwan hesitated for a moment, but still sent a message to Lin Nan: [Is Zhou Cishen still working overtime in the company?
】
Lin Nan quickly replied: [Here.
】
Ruan Xingwan: [Have you eaten yet?
】
Lin Nan: [No.
】
Ruan Xingwan thought that no matter what the reason was for Zhou Cishen to take action regarding Li Ang, he still gave Pei Shanshan a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to owe him this kind of favor all the time.
Ruan Xingwan got up, made a thick egg roll and a sandwich, put them in a thermal box, went upstairs to get a coat, and went out.
Zhou Group, President's Office.
After Lin Nan got his mobile phone back from Zhou Cishen, he said, "Don't you want Mr. Zhou to leave?"
Zhou Cishen said calmly: "I still have a few documents to process, you go back first."
"yes."
Just as Lin Nan was about to leave, Zhou Cishen said: "When Ruan Xing comes over from the party, tell the security guard downstairs to let her in directly."
"……OK."
Feelings are waiting here.
Lin Nan felt that since going to Anqiao Long Street, Mr. Zhou was not as aggressive, sharp-tongued, and sarcastic towards his wife as before.
This is a good start.
There is a high probability that he will not have to rack his brains to find excuses and steps for Mr. Zhou in the future.
After Lin Nan went downstairs, he went to explain to the security guard on night shift that the CEO's wife would be coming soon and let them go directly.
The security guard nodded in greeting.
But Lin Nan never expected that Shu Siwei would come not long after he left.
Although Shu Siwei had been praised for a period of time before, she didn't know how to restrain herself. Not only did she covet the position of Zhou's CEO's wife, but the recording of her later playing a big name and slandering the brand was also released by the brand, which ruined most of her popularity with the public.
Zhou didn't care about her and could only keep a low profile for a while.
In fact, she had come to Zhou's many times to find Zhou Cishen, but she was stopped by the front desk and security every time. This time she heard that there was a charity jewelry dinner next week that was looking for models, and she originally wanted to go there.
Little did she know that the organizer rejected her directly.
Although Shu Siwei was angry, she had no choice but to ask Zhou Cishen to give her a chance with the idea of giving it a try.
But she didn't expect that she would get in so easily this time.
The security guard on duty today is new. He has never seen Shu Siwei. He just heard from Lin Nan that the CEO's wife will be coming soon. Seeing that Shu Siwei is so beautiful and well-dressed, I thought it must be okay.
But what I didn't expect was that ten minutes later, another woman wearing loose clothes but more beautiful came.
I was immediately dumbfounded.
Who is the CEO’s wife?
When Ruan Xingwan entered the door, he saw the security guard looking at him several times. He hesitated a little and asked in a low voice: "Are you not allowed in?"
She remembered that the Zhou family had a rule not to let designer Sheng Guang in, but she hadn't reported her family name yet.
The security guard was also confused and asked cautiously: "Are you the president's wife?"
Ruan Xingwan: "...I'm not."
"Then what are you doing here so late?"
Ruan Xingwan looked at the thermos bucket in his hand. He originally wanted to say that he was here to deliver food to Zhou Cishen, but when the words came to his lips, he abruptly changed his words: "I was passing by."
