She's Hard to Get

Ning Caier tried to beat her chest with difficulty, and felt that she was about to choke to death. However, Ouyang Jue was just watching from the side, and would say a few words from time to time, "Seems like it's already a little dirty."

It was intentional! This fellow must have done it on purpose!

Ning Caier pointed her finger at Ouyang Jue, but she was choked with words. Her face was flushed red, and it was only by relying on the cup of water the waiter passed her that she could barely swallow down all the food in her throat.

"I know you can't afford it, but there's a way to make up for it, and I'm not that kind of inhumane boss." Ouyang Jue looked at Ning Caier's sad expression and praised himself. He had completely established his lofty image in front of this assistant.

Ning Caier stood at the side and did not say a word, but saying nothing did not mean that she agreed with him. Ouyang Jue was indeed not the inhumane boss, but the unhumane boss!

"What remedy?" Ning Caier interrupted Ouyang Jue's narcissistic speech. She was anxious to know how she could avoid losing her salary because that was the most realistic idea.

"Let's make a bet."

took out a document from the chair beside her for Ning Caier to sign on. According to the rules of the company, the person in charge of each family could take charge of the sales for the current season, and she could use this money to pay the bill. But due to Ning Caier's identity as an assistant, she could not mention 1% of the profit, only 1% of the net profit.

Of course, Ning Caier understood the difference between gross profit and net profit. Tian Ao's gross profit on jewelry was around forty percent, but after deducting the fees for manpower and shop, her net profit was less than ten percent. If she increased the reward by this percentage, then her bonus would be reduced by at least three-quarters.

However, Ning Caier had always thought that the person in charge of the sub-family didn't have the qualifications to make profits, so no matter how she looked at it, the agreement that Ouyang Jue had made her sign was beneficial for her. Sure enough, she flipped to the next page and saw the conditions attached to this agreement.

If her commission at the end of the season exceeded the price of the clothes, she could directly rise to become a designer. However, if she did not exceed this standard, it would mean that her design ability was insufficient and she would have to automatically become Ouyang Jue's personal assistant.

It really was premeditated!

Just a moment ago, Ning Caier was wondering why Ouyang Jue would be so kind to buy a set of clothes for him.

"You can also choose not to sign and directly pay for the clothes."

Ouyang Jue acted as though he respected his employees' choices, but Ning Caier had no other choice, she did not have that much money to use to compensate his for a luxury item, furthermore, the position of the designer was too enticing for her.

"I can sign the contract, but I have another condition."

Ning Caier recalled the data she had seen yesterday. She was going to choose the raw materials and diamonds herself, and then set the retail price according to this sub-series's market location.

"Choose for yourself? How long have you been trying to price the market? Do you know how much professional data is needed to support that? "

Ouyang Jue never thought that Ning Caier would raise this request. She, as a designer, actually wanted to take over the matters of the Market, did she know that there was a huge gap between them? Furthermore, every piece of jewelry that was given by the company had a fixed price formula to calculate, so if she set the price too outrageously, it would break Tian Ao's rules.

"The difference between the price that I set and the formula is not more than 10%. I know that this is the limit that the company can adjust according to the market situation."

Ning Caier had a good memory. She remembered every single piece of data she had seen before, that was 10% the maximum discount for the company's activities and also the maximum increase in the company's price when the price of the jewellery went up. Naturally, her pricing wouldn't exceed this range.

Ouyang Jue knew that Ning Caier was an expert in analysing data, but this power was indeed a little too much for an assistant designer. Furthermore, Xiao Ningyuan had already more or less decided on the materials used in this sub-series, he only needed to wait for the factory to draw up a sample before making any adjustments.

"Regarding the sample set of jewelry, you and Xiao Ningyuan will each make one set. If the final set is yours, the price will be decided by you, but if the final set is Xiao Ningyuan's, the price will be given to the Market Department."

Ouyang Jue took a step back. He also wanted to see how much potential this Ning Caier had, but he would not use her own company's performance as a wager. Hence, he gave a very fair idea.

"Alright, I agree."

Initially, Ning Caier was worried that this Ouyang Jue did not keep his promise, but after seeing his serious expression, she felt that it was all true, so she happily signed her name on the agreement, which took effect immediately.

When Ning Caier signed her name, Ouyang Jue knew that she had been tricked. Although her analysis of the data was not bad, she had obviously not turned the corner yet.

Currently, in the TiaoAo Group's jewelry chain, every season, the sales would be around 300 million, and the sales for the new jewelry chain would be around 30 to 40%.

In the TiaoAo Group, no one dared to not give him face. He wanted to let her know, sooner or later, that the person he wanted would be him.

"If you don't want to eat, then leave. Stop wasting time here."

When Ouyang Jue saw Ning Caier holding the spoon in a daze, he knew that her brain was calculating the price. However, he and Xiao Ningyuan had already calculated the sales of the sub series in the market before this, the total sales wouldn't exceed ten million.

Ning Caier was stupefied all the way, only reacting when they were on the boat, "Aren't we going to the factory, where are you bringing me to now?"

"I'm going to sell you." Ouyang Jue was impressed by the length of Ning Caier's reflective arc. He only realized that something was wrong after sitting on the boat for more than ten minutes, how did this kind of person manage to survive.

"Ouyang Jue, let go of me!" Ning Caier shouted from the cabin, immediately attracting the attention of others, but they quickly turned around, as though they could not see anything, "Bastard, you are all in the same group!"

"Between the bad track of you jumping off the car, I have to tie you up, and I know you can't swim, I don't want to go into the water to save you."

Ouyang Jue used all his strength to push Ning Caier down onto the chair, and forced her to read the information again. Everyone in the Heavenly Ao Design Department knew that the jewelry factory was on a small island, only Ning Caier would make a big fuss.

However, his violent actions caused the chairs in the cabin to creak. The people outside didn't dare to turn their heads back, but they all secretly exchanged looks. They sent a message to the person in charge of the factory. This Miss Ning was not simple.

"Isn't it just a gold mining factory? Why would it be so mysterious on the island?"

Ning Caier re-examined the contents of the information, and immediately knew that she had been foolish, thus she sat obediently in the cabin, not resisting at all.

But when the boat arrived, Ning Caier knew that there were huge differences between the gold mining factories. Tian Ao's gold mining factory was guarded extremely closely, it was like a military base.

Huge searchlights and cameras were scattered all over the factory. From the entrance to the operating workshop, there were five gates, and each one was identified by the pupil, making it impossible to fake it. The layers of inspections were more like filming an American movie.

The person in charge of the factory saw the surprise in Ning Caier's eyes, so he explained in an attentive manner. The raw materials for the jewelry that were being processed and stored in the factory numbered in the billions, so such security measures were essential.

"You don't need to explain to her that she's only an assistant."

Seeing the manager of the factory bowing his head and looking at him, Ouyang Jue immediately berated him. In Tian Ao's territory, he only needed to obey one person, the others did not need to bother about him.

"What are we checking out this time?"

Ning Caier had already gotten used to Ouyang Jue's bad temper, so she was already completely immune to his actions just now. She saw that the people following him were becoming fewer and fewer, until the last room, where other than the two of them, there was only, the person in charge of the factory.

"I'll show you something good."

Ouyang Jue made Chen Sheng open the door of a room made of titanium alloy. This was the processing area for the top quality jewelry, a few hundred square meters of room only had one Chest Armor, it was made from gold and had thousands of colored diamonds embedded on it. The conservative estimate was that the price was over ten million. It emitted a strange luster under the soft and gentle incandescent light, causing Ning Caier to unconsciously walk over.

"An Italian underwear brand was specially made for us. It will be the best work of art since the creation of the Tianxiong Jewelry."

Ouyang Jue stood in front of the Chest Armor and admired his masterpiece. Every diamond here was personally picked by him, the most important thing in making this art was the combination of color and luster. This finished product undoubtedly reflects his artistic talent and his level of appreciation for jewelry.

If he did not already sign the contract, Ouyang Jue would not even be willing to send it to Italy.

"So beautiful!"

Ning Caier's praise was sincere, she did not know that this Chest Armor was designed by Ouyang Jue himself. She had followed the Italian brand for a whole year before they were willing to hand over the business of entering their brand's museum to Ouyang Jue.

Ning Caier picked up the magnifying glass and looked carefully at the way every diamond was inlaid. Although it looked the same from a distance, but if one looked carefully, they would see that there were at least three types of diamonds here: track inlay, boundless inlaid, and micro inlaid. Other than track inlaid being slightly simpler, the other two required a high level technician who had worked in it for many years to do it.

"Since you can see how the inlay method is, do a count of the inlay method, diamond cutting technique and grade. Then tell me why it is designed this way. Only after you pass this stage can you go to the warehouse to pick materials."

Ouyang Jue knew how complicated the production of this Chest Armor was, so he deliberately treated it as a question to ask Ning Caier. In this gold mining factory, there were no more than three people who could see his intentions, and as long as Ning Caier could answer sixty percent correctly, he would consider it his victory.
