Back to 90s small fishing village

Chapter 68 A friend in need is a friend indeed

Qiao Chu was so angry that everyone felt happy and worked more energetically than usual.

As soon as he arrived downstairs, Qiao Chu felt dizzy, and his assistant Zhao Luoming quickly supported him.

"Stop holding on and go to the hospital for surgery."

"No need, I know my body myself. What's more, at my age, even if the operation is successful, it will cost half my life. I'm afraid I can only lie in bed and hang up for the rest of my life. Just live with one breath."

"But you should at least tell the lady and ask her to spend more time with you."

"Why tell her in advance? Make her upset early and cry all day? Now is the time for her to hone her skills and prepare for taking over in the future."

"Then at least..."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything." Qiao Chu raised his hand and interrupted Zhao Luoming, "I understand what you mean, but I always have my own way of doing things, so you don't need to persuade me anymore."

"Yes." Zhao Luoming sighed and said nothing more.

But they didn't know that their conversation was heard by Qiao Qiao behind them.

Because she had just been rejected by her grandfather, Qiao Qiao was in a bad mood. In order to relieve her emotions and devote herself to the design in a full state, she originally planned to go for a walk in a nearby small park. Unexpectedly, she heard Qiao Chu's words as soon as she came downstairs. .

For a moment, Qiao Qiao didn't know whether he should be sad or sigh.

Even at this time, does Grandpa still stubbornly follow his own business model and apply this set of outdated ideas to himself?

Even at the expense of his own time for medical treatment?

She went upstairs in despair.

"What's wrong?" Elaine came up to him with concern and asked.

"I'm fine." Qiao Qiao tried his best to smile.

"Stop lying. Your eyes don't deceive. Is something wrong?"

Qiao Qiao hesitated for a moment, but still told the matter.

"In this case, you should make this exhibition go smoothly." Zhao Fengmin said suddenly.

After wiping his eyes and raising his head, Qiao Qiao realized that everyone had gathered around him at some point.

"But my mind is very confused now. I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to design."

"It doesn't matter, the most important thing now is to adjust your mood." Xu Caimei said, "You are the organizer of our exhibition and our backbone. You are the key to the success or failure of our exhibition. Don't worry, we will help you. .”

"But grandpa said that this exhibition is a competition, and I can't lose to you. Although I don't intend to listen to him, I really don't want to lose to you when it comes to design."

"Don't worry, we don't mean to compete with you. What is your theme this time? Wouldn't it be great if we centered on your theme works and designed works with the same theme to complement you?" He Yifan shrugged , casually said, "Old Song, what do you think?"

"Agree."

"But you... don't do this. I don't like uncompetitive works. Works must be full of tension to be called good works."

“Tense and aggressive, I think they are two different concepts, and I think if the three of us jointly hold an exhibition, it will show a harmonious and win-win situation rather than fierce competition, which also expresses your ambition as a future successor. New style and new determination?" He Yifan said.

"It makes sense." Zhao Fengmin nodded.

"I know." Qiao Qiao's eyes were red and he motioned to Elaine to show everyone his design sketch.

"The theme of the design is new era, new design."

He Yifan and Song Ke looked at several design drawings and nodded repeatedly. Then, the two returned the design sketch to Elaine.

"Let's just design it together." Song Ke suggested, "It just so happens that the boss said he wants to cooperate with you once? I think now is the right time."

"I can do anything. I mainly listen to Caimei."

"Of course it's no problem." Xu Caimei said with a smile.

"It seems we have reached a consensus, do you want to join?" He Yifan turned to Qiao Qiao and asked.

"Well..." Qiao Qiao nodded, tears welling up in his eyes, "Thank you."

With everyone's cooperation, the original design time was one month and the preparation time was one month.

Now in less than a month, everyone has completed all the preparations.

"I applied to reserve the venue time in advance. Once approved, we can distribute invitations. With luck, we can start the event next week," Qiao Qiao said.

"Fortunately, we did not invite guests in advance for this joint exhibition. I sent out the invitation notice yesterday. As for how many people will actually come, we have no idea." Elaine said, "We really have to rush it. ?"

"It's better to be early, so that Qiao Qiao can spend more time with Mr. Qiao." Zhao Fengmin said.

"After the exhibition is over, I will take my grandpa to see a doctor abroad. No matter what he says, I will definitely take him there." Qiao Qiao said firmly.

As expected, the exhibition opened on Saturday, two weeks later.

Qiao Chu originally wanted to go to the site one day in advance to check the layout, but was stopped by Qiao Qiao.

"It's just a small collection room. We'll finish it in a moment. Besides, this is my exhibition, and I don't want others to interfere. Grandpa, I hope you understand."

Qiao Chu looked at her granddaughter with firm eyes in front of her and felt relieved, "Okay then, I'll just wait to enter with the invitation letter tomorrow."

The exhibition entered at ten o'clock, and Qiao Chu was the first to enter and sign in.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, he was surprised——

The layout of the exhibition was not clearly differentiated by brand or designer as he expected.

All kinds of exquisite accessories are displayed together, and each display cabinet is slightly tilted, like a road sign guiding visitors to the center.

In the very middle of the exhibition space, a simple pearl necklace is displayed, and the title of the work is "Grandpa".

Qiao Chu looked at the necklace carefully and remembered that it was the first gift given to Qiao Qiao.

At that time, I just thought that it was for children, and the design should not be so fancy, so I simply kept it simple and made a pearl necklace for her.

I thought Qiao Qiao had thrown away this necklace long ago or had it dismantled and redone, but she didn't expect that she still kept it.

It's just that this necklace seems smaller than the impression?

Qiao Chu didn't have time to lament how time flies when he was stopped by Qiao Qiao.

"Grandpa, today's exhibition is for you." Qiao Qiao said, "There are a total of eight works on display in this exhibition, and each work contains a pearl from the necklace in front of you."

It turns out it's not my psychology... Qiao Chu thought to herself.

"These works were jointly designed by me, Zhao Fengmin's team, and Xu Caimei's team. I hope you will be satisfied."

"I'm not satisfied." Qiao Chu said with a cold face, "Qiao Qiao, you disappoint me so much."
