Back to 90s small fishing village

According to Qiao Chufang's request, Xu Caimei, Zhao Fengmin and others went to Hong Kong again with their respective design sketches and required materials.

Originally, Qiao Chu wanted to send someone to pick them up, but Zhao Fengmin didn't want to see their people right after getting off the plane, so she declined.

Seeing Qiao Chu's building again, Zhao Fengmin sighed deeply.

"Every time I see this place I feel bad... I get rashes all over my body when I think about staying here for a month."

Also coming with her was Xu Qiang.

Because Qiao Chu said that tools and professional jewelry-making masters would be provided here, so in the end the two of them brought only their confidants and designers.

"Be more open-minded. This time we can get back the capital and profits and it will be over." Xu Pingli consoled him.

Because the exhibition was mainly about the work of the "Shark Dream" studio, the only people who came with Xu Caimei were Xu Pingli and He Yifan.

The only thing that surprised Xu Caimei was that the person waiting for them at the door was none other than Elaine.

"Old guy, you're so old and you still want a little girl to be your assistant." Zhao Fengmin complained to Xu Caimei in a low voice.

"That doesn't seem to be the case. I remember the last time we met, she introduced herself as Yi Lian and she was Qiao Qiao's assistant." Xu Caimei said.

Zhao Fengmin raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

"What's the point of selling this?"

Following Elaine, several people took the elevator upstairs and came to the conference room.

Pushing the door open, the person waiting for them in the conference room was not the annoying old man, but his granddaughter Qiao Qiao.

"Hey, why is it you?" Zhao Fengmin asked, "Why didn't Mr. Qiao come?"

"I haven't told you yet, I am in charge of planning this design exhibition." Qiao Qiao said with a smile, "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Qiao Qiao, and as you said, my grandfather is Qiao Chu. "

Zhao Fengmin realized her gaffe and introduced herself.

After everyone got to know each other, the meeting officially started.

Qiao Qiao skillfully operated the computer and showed everyone the slides on the projection screen.

Looking at the carefully crafted slides and listening to Qiao Qiao's serious and smooth explanation, the expressions of several people slowly changed from doubt and distrust to appreciation.

After introducing the expected arrangement of the exhibition, Qiao Qiao paused and said, "As for the studio, I rented another flat floor elsewhere, and the equipment and personnel are ready. Although the three studios are together, they are all Each one is independent, so you don’t have to feel any pressure, just use it the way you like.

"In addition, accommodation has been arranged for everyone. It is at a hotel not far from the studio. We will pay for it. There are shopping malls, parks and other places nearby. You can arrange your own itinerary."

"But didn't Mr. Qiao say before that we live in the group's employee dormitory? Otherwise, we have to pay for it ourselves?" Xu Pingli asked.

"That's his opinion, but now, I'm in charge, so I think I still have the right to arrange these little things, right?" Qiao Qiao said.

After the meeting, Qiao Qiao led everyone back to the hotel room, put away their things, and then walked to the studio together.

The studio is on the top floor of a financial center, with a wide view and very quiet. The space on the entire floor is evenly divided into three parts, leaving only a rest area in the middle.

"There are cameras in the public areas and at the entrance of each studio on this floor, but not inside - mainly because we want to balance security and privacy. I will not pry into your design secrets, so please don't worry." Qiao Qiao introduced. , "The rest area in the middle is equipped with a self-service coffee machine and a water dispenser. Please feel free to grab and eat the snacks in the cabinet without being polite."

Zhao Fengmin couldn't help but glance at Xu Caimei and hesitated to speak.

Seemingly sensing that they didn't really want to stay with him, Qiao Qiao made some brief introductions, told them the time for the reception banquet in the evening, and then let them move around freely.

As soon as they left the studio building, a few people who had been silent for the whole scene suddenly came to life and gathered together to discuss.

"Caimei, which show do you think this is now?" Zhao Fengmin asked.

"Hard to say."

"It seems quite friendly, and Qiao Qiao is very kind to others," Xu Qiang said.

"Pull her down, you have never seen her smashing people's things at the exhibition." Xu Pingli curled his lips, "I think she is acting like this now, to make us let down our guard."

"Yes, yes, and what she said, 'I will never pry into your secrets'! It sounds false." Xu Qiang added.

Seeing that He Yifan was still silent, Xu Pingli lost his temper.

"Why don't you talk anymore? Don't you think you've lost your soul again after seeing how pretty the girl is? Are you planning to pursue true love again?"

He Yifan ignored his sarcasm and said calmly, "What she said is actually somewhat credible. I have seen the situation you mentioned before when I was exhibiting in Paris, but it is true that the things she smashed - —I can only say it’s something, because strictly speaking, something shoddy like that cannot be called a ‘work’.”

"How do you know they're inferior products?" Xu Qiang asked.

"Just like a jade carving, the craftsman may have made a mistake somewhere, causing a certain part to crack or fall off. The damaged part will be glued up with glue, or inlaid with gold and silver, and it is called the 'finishing touch'. This is What I said is that inferior pearls are passed off as good pearls, and there are also cases where hollow bad pearls are used as good pearls, with the good parts exposed and the bad parts covered with supports. This phenomenon is not unheard of."

"Is there such a thing? But isn't it normal to make up for mistakes?"

"That's true, but it's not good that such defective works still appear in top jewelry exhibitions, and take advantage of the designer's reputation to fetch high prices, right?" He Yifan said.

"Well...it makes sense for you to say that."

"Qiao Qiao is just a person who pursues perfection and abides by the rules. There is nothing wrong with this in itself." He Yifan analyzed, "Since she is a person who values ​​rules, she would not steal our designs or designers casually. "

"So are you defecting before the battle?" Xu Pingli asked again.

"I'm just kindly reminding you that we don't have to think about how to deal with her all the time. After all, the purpose of our coming here is to make good works. Let's take this opportunity to increase our popularity, right? Let's pay more attention to the design."

"Yes, I agree with this view." Zhao Fengminfang's designer, a man named Song Ke, said, "It's a rare opportunity to compete with the famous He Yifan. I don't want to lose."

"The two designers can devote themselves wholeheartedly, and we will fully support you." Zhao Fengmin said.

"Yes, we will take care of other things. You two can just concentrate on the design." Xu Caimei nodded.
