Back to 90s small fishing village

"Did you drink ginger water after you went back? Did you fill a moxa stove for moxibustion at night? Why did you hide it from me? At least tell me that I will go to the market to buy some old ginger and come back." Xu Ping'an continued.

"That happened many days ago. Everyone was busy at that time, so I didn't distract you." Xu Caimei said with a smile, "Don't worry, I took good care of myself, and I won't get sick and make you anxious. "

"Caimei, why did you switch sides in the face of battle? Didn't you agree to hide it from everyone? Why did you do it yourself?" Li Meiyan sighed.

"Come on, don't you really think that we can't tell that these are collected by Caimei? If you are really so awesome, we won't have to worry about it." Xu Pingyi rolled his eyes at her and joked.

After gathering the pearls, things became simple for them. They only needed to hand over the prepared materials, tools and manpower to He Yifan to arrange it.

In order to prevent the leakage of design content from happening again, the offices of the breeding farm were cleared out for the masters responsible for jewelry production to live and work.

Those who come to participate in jewelry production are all capable people selected by Zhao Fengmin personally.

She was surprised for a long time when she heard that He Yifan was working under Xu Caimei. Then she was very happy and immediately made an appointment for the joint design. Seeing that He Yifan was not as cold as the rumors, she agreed easily. This made her very happy, and she readily allocated people and tools for him to use for free.

Time turned and the New Year's Day jewelry exhibition opened as scheduled.

Because they were worried that Emma's family would be involved in this exhibition, Xu Caimei and Xu Pingli were involved in the entire process from registration to participation in the exhibition.

"Is it really okay for us two anonymous people to go on your behalf?" Xu Pingli was very uneasy.

"What are you afraid of?" He Yifan raised his hand and straightened his long hair, "If I just change my name and no one cares about my works, it only means that I only have a false name."

Feeling uneasy, the two came to the exhibition hall, where the receptionist looked at them suspiciously.

"Is this invitation really sent to you? Do you know what this place is for, right? It's not a farmer's market."

Xu Pingli resisted the urge to curse and repeatedly explained that he was here to participate in the exhibition.

Xu Caimei was carrying the box and noticed a slightly fat man looking here frequently.

The man also had a sign hanging around his neck, the same as the receptionist responsible for receiving them, with a red border.

So Xu Caimei walked towards him.

"Hello, how can I help you?" the fat man asked with a polite smile.

"Hello, I'd like to find the person in charge of this jewelry exhibition."

"I am Liang Sheng, the organizer of this jewelry exhibition. Who are you..."

"Xu Caimei, it's nice to meet you. We were entrusted by a friend to participate in the exhibition on his behalf - I heard him say that he had already greeted you in advance?"

"It's indeed you." Liang Sheng smiled, "I've been waiting. I don't know who the designer's friend is. After all, I promised to keep this matter a secret for him, so it's hard to ask everyone. Let's go, follow I come."

Xu Caimei greeted Xu Pingli, and the two entered the exhibition hall under the surprised look of the receptionist.

Liang Sheng took them to a remote corner.

"Sorry, I can only arrange you here - after all, in the eyes of others, you are just grassroots newcomers coming to the exhibition for the first time." Liang Sheng explained a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay, we understand. After all, you are also our friend. Thank you for taking the trouble to pick us up." Xu Pingli said.

"I also apologize to you again for my employees and wish you a smooth participation in the exhibition." After saying that, Liang Sheng left.

Xu Caimei opened the glass showcase, put on gloves, opened the portable safe in her hand, carefully placed the exhibits on the stand, and finally locked the glass cover.

In the glass showcase is a set of pearl jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. “It’s broken,” Xu Pingli kept rummaging in the bag.

"what happened?"

"I seem to have left that sign with the name of the exhibit at home."

"Ah?" Xu Caimei also rummaged through her bag, "I don't have one here either, so what should I do? It's definitely too late to make one now, and it would be too hasty to write one by hand."

"Why don't you let go?" Xu Pingli asked. "Our location is so remote, it's unlikely that anyone will come here. If anyone is really interested, let's introduce it in detail."

"Also."

After the preparations were completed, at ten o'clock, the jewelry exhibition opened on time.

As soon as it started, many well-dressed and luxuriously dressed people came in, with small blue-framed badges hanging around their necks.

Xu Pingli looked at the crowds coming and going in the distance, and felt a little anxious when he heard the sound of quotations and the applause of successful transactions from time to time.

Xu Caimei kept looking at the exhibits in the display cabinet, and her eyes unconsciously fell on the black pearl in the middle of the necklace.

"Such a beautiful black pearl, even if sold individually, would probably cost tens of thousands of yuan." Xu Pingli came over, "I don't know if someone will be able to discern pearls and take it away today."

"hope so."

"Oh, what a beautiful pearl." The two of them were talking and didn't notice someone stopping behind them.

"Sorry, we didn't notice you." Xu Caimei said with a smile.

This is a woman with a somewhat stout body, about forty years old, and well-maintained.

She was wearing very good pearl jewelry and she seemed to be a person who liked pearls.

The woman's eyes also stayed on the black pearl in the middle.

But she seemed very dissatisfied with the other pearls gathered around the black pearl.

"I'm quite satisfied with this black pearl, but the pearls around it are really not in good condition. I don't think this exhibit has a name. Do you have any explanation?"

"The name is 'Suffering and Rebirth'." Xu Pingli said, "Our negligence was that we forgot to bring the name tag of the work."

The woman stared at the work, looking at it again and again.

"I don't see any connection between the work and the theme of the design. Although the work is good, I think it's a bit average." She gave the two of them an encouraging smile, "Or, if you are willing, I can offer you [-]. You guys sell me that pearl, and I’ll find someone else to make the jewelry, do you think it’s okay?”

"No, thank you." Xu Caimei refused before Xu Pingli could say anything.

"That's a shame." The woman said and left the showcase.

"Caimei," Xu Pingli leaned close to Xu Caimei and whispered, "Actually, I think one hundred thousand is quite a lot..."

Xu Caimei glanced at him and said seriously, "Don't mention this kind of thing again. It's our fault for not wearing a name tag. We'll just admit it if no one appreciates it. If you still insult his work like this, you have the nerve to go back and see him him?"
