Back to 90s small fishing village

Zhao Fengmin was very surprised. He stood up and wanted to follow him to ask why, but was stopped by his assistant.

"Ms. Zhao, please come back. After all, cooperation is something that you and I are willing to do. Otherwise, it will be a forced sale. I will pay the travel expenses for both of you to the account you reserved later. It's really helpful." Sorry."

Zhao Fengmin glared at him, then pulled Xu Caimei away.

After hearing the "ding" of the elevator and confirming that they had really left, the assistant picked up the sketch left by Xu Caimei on the table, crumpled it into a ball, and prepared to throw it away.

"Wait a minute!" The old man suddenly came out of the study, took out the design drawings from his assistant, unfolded them carefully, and began to taste them carefully.

What is drawn on the drawing is a pair of hollow hands, holding a pearl, and thorns with flowers in full bloom stretch out from the gap in the hands.

Beautiful, but also cruel.

"Her design is too low-level. The meaning she wants to express can be seen at a glance, just like a layman." The assistant couldn't help complaining at the side.

"Yes, I am still very green. I can tell that I am a layman who has just started. However, he was able to make such a careful design based on the concept in such a short period of time, and at the same time, he took good care of his own innovation - Shang The set of cheap accessories that caused a sensation last time was also made by her, right?
"She seems to be very good at combining pearls with hollow designs. Different from traditional designs that deliberately emphasize the grand and luxurious beauty of pearls, her works enhance the overall sense of coordination. Although they reduce the overall sense of luxury, they still Make the work feel intimate.”

"Yes, but what does this mean? The exhibit clearly expresses that pearls are gifts from the depths of the waves, and they are works of art from nature. What does she understand? She has gone through all kinds of tricks and painted such a thing, and you actually And you praise her? Let me tell you, since you have already decided to give the agency to the young master and just make a phone call to refuse it, why do you still need to meet them? "

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"If she is really as useless as you say, why are you angry with her?"

After saying that, the old man took the crumpled design and returned to the study.

"I'm sorry, Sister Feng Min, you brought me here with good intentions, but I messed up your situation..."

Zhao Fengmin sighed, "It's not your fault. In fact, I had a hunch a long time ago. The last time I received an invitation call, the other party's tone was a little strange and asked me to call you, but I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to Regarding the cooperation order, now that I think about it, maybe he asked to see us just because of the last batch of jewelry."

"You haven't told me yet, what is this old man's identity?"

"He is the largest jeweler in Hong Kong and was once a top jewelery designer. Previously, his brand was only sold abroad. Didn't Hong Kong return to the motherland last year? It just so happened that the international economy was not very prosperous this year. He wanted to take this opportunity to enter the mainland market. That’s why I’m looking for an agent.”

"Ah? Then didn't I look extremely embarrassed just now?! An amateur, in front of the king of the industry..." Xu Caimei swallowed, her cheeks burning.

"Don't forget, he named you to accompany him this time, and he must have recognized you. Fortunately, I didn't tell you in advance. Look at how cowardly you are now." Zhao Fengmin smiled.

"Really, if I had known this person's identity in advance, I would definitely not have dared to say anything. I just felt that this old man was so gibberish, talking about nothing and nothing, and he looked like he was trying to embarrass us. Like, that’s why I dare to contradict him.”

They originally planned to go shopping after discussing business, but now they both lost interest and simply went home.

The two said goodbye in Shenzhen, and Xu Caimei returned home.

Passing by Xu Ping'an's door, I saw him sitting in the courtyard, staring at a small red box in trance.

Xu Caimei pushed open the courtyard door, and the old wooden door made a "squeaking" sound. Xu Pingan raised his head and looked away when he saw it was Xu Caimei.

"What's wrong, Ping An? These days, you always seem to be avoiding me."

"No, it's just that you are too busy, and I don't want to distract you..." "Then why don't you look at me? I remember that you used to always stare at me, with bright eyes, always looking very happy. "Xu Caimei walked to Xu Pingan, pulled up a small stool and sat down, "Is it because I didn't give you an answer that day?"

"You don't need to say it, I understand it all. I was just thinking about how to deal with this thing better. After all, time has passed and there is no way to retreat." Xu Ping'an smiled bitterly and played with the small box in his hand.

"Do you want to regret your marriage? Or were you just joking about the proposal that day?" Xu Caimei asked in surprise.

"Didn't you disagree?" Xu Ping'an was even more surprised.

"I just said that your proposal was too sudden. I was not mentally prepared. Why didn't I agree?" Xu Caimei said, "Isn't it because Pingyi came too suddenly and I didn't have time to finish telling you?"

"Then you..." Xu Pingan handed the box over, and Xu Caimei snorted and turned her face away from him.

Xu Ping'an was startled, then happily knelt down on one knee in front of her and asked, "Caimei, will you marry me?"

"Yes, I am willing, but you haven't told me yet, why are you so eager to propose to me?"

Xu Ping'an told her about overhearing her chatting with Li Meiyan that day.

"We were just joking, and how could I say anything about proposing? Why did you never mention this matter, so I can only say that." Although Xu Caimei blamed her words, her hands were silent. He honestly stretched out his hand in front of Xu Ping'an and let him put the ring on the middle finger of his left hand.

"You quite understand." Xu Caimei couldn't help but joke, "I thought you were an old antique and didn't know these foreign rules."

"Taught by Ping Li." Xu Ping'an stood up, scratched his head, and then looked around, "It's so hasty that we didn't even prepare a meal... How about we go to town to eat?"

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood..." Xu Caimei told Xu Ping'an roughly what happened during her trip to Hong Kong, but she deliberately omitted the encounter with the robbers.

"By the way, let me tell you something new, maybe you won't be bothered anymore -" Xu Ping'an said, "Do you know what the stock market is?"

"I've heard of it, what's the matter?"

"I heard from the employees at the breeding farm that they heard from people in Yao Village that Zhihua made a lot of money from stock trading."

"What?"

"Zhihua stock trading - buying and selling stocks, made a lot of money."

"Isn't it a good thing to make money?" Xu Caimei asked.

"It's a good thing, so I want to ask you, do you want to go stock trading together?"

"You fired with him?"

"No, none of us do. The farm is so busy, how can we have this free time? However, among the newly hired people in our farm, some follow him in stock trading, and many of them have resigned recently."

"Everyone is here to make money, so there's nothing to say." Xu Caimei said, "But I'm not good at this kind of luck-making thing, so forget it." (End of Chapter)
