She's Hard to Get

Ning Caier held her own head, thinking that she was going to go crazy. Could it be that she really had to draw some bills from the different countries to wish everyone a great deal of money?

"Cai'er, let's go out and eat. Inspiration isn't something that can be found just by staying in the office."

When Xiao Ningyuan saw that she had kept him inside the house all this time, he casually picked up the papers. These drawings were not bad, and it would be enough if they were just gifts.

"Teacher Xiao, I can't eat anything now. I'll have to submit the script in two days."

Ning Caier leaned on her chair listlessly, she was regretting her suggestion of a male jewelry, if not, she would not have fallen into such a predicament, but if she had handed over some stuff casually, it would not be in accordance with her working style.

"If you want to design jewelry that suits the tastes of customers, you can look for inspiration based on the products they run, the LOGO they use now, and some ads that must be in the style these CEOs like."

Xiao Ningyuan saw that there were only thirty sets of jewelry that had been customized and the list had been given to Ning Caier. This way, he would be able to find a lot of things, and as long as Ning Caier could find the common interests of most people, this design should not be difficult to make.

"Thank you, Teacher Xiao. Why didn't I think of such a simple logic?"

She spent the entire morning in the office thinking about it, but did not think that she would have to learn more about these clients. Fortunately Xiao Ningyuan had reminded her in time, otherwise, she would not have thought of it even two days later.

"So hurry up and come eat with me. There's a free lunch today, in this hotel."

Xiao Ningyuan pointed to a name on the list. This person's name had three stars added behind it, indicating that he was extremely important.

Ning Caier happily agreed, but the moment she entered the restaurant, she discovered that Ouyang Jue was already sitting there. Recently, they had met a lot, every time Xiao Ningyuan went out with her, there was a 80% chance of them being able to bump into Ouyang Jue.

"Teacher Xiao, over here." When Ouyang Jue saw them, he waved his hand. He was sitting at a table for four, and he had already ordered the main course.

"Since the customer has something on her mind, let's just treat this meal as a staff benefit. Don't waste it."

Ouyang Jue could see the doubt in Ning Caier's eyes, and quickly gave a reasonable explanation. Although the two of them had gotten along quite well, she still refused to have any other meals or excursions outside of work.

Ning Caier knew that she was receiving a lot of attention in the company, she was afraid that Han Yuqi would misunderstand, so she purposely avoided getting into contact with him on an unofficial basis.

Therefore, Ouyang Jue had no choice but to find many excuses and create many chance encounters, so that he could stay a little longer with Ning Caier. Xiao Ningyuan was the best shield, so every time he ate, he would drag Xiao Ningyuan along with him.

"Our CEO has also learned to be thrifty." Ning Caier was surprised that the few words she wasted could actually come out from Ouyang Jue's mouth. Even with Xiao Ningyuan by her side, she did not forget to ridicule him.

"Opening the source is a method that every businessman has to master. I just don't like wasting my time on these little things. I don't like wasting it."

Ouyang Jue took Ning Caier's notebook and opened up her previous schedule, replacing the two unimportant parts of the journey with one of hers. As a manager who did not have any reputation, he had done his duty well, and had chosen the best way to advertise himself, so he did not hesitate to break the contract and decline the contract. He could even cancel the interviews that he had already agreed to shoot, since Tian Ao was an advertising business and no magazines dared to offend him.

"Do you see anything here?" Ouyang Jue casually asked as he watched the journey. This boss owned several restaurants, but all of them were decorated in the same style. He had heard that it was something that he had specifically seen when looking for Feng Shui.

"This restaurant is an ancient Roman style, the arched windows should be custom-made from Italy..."

Ning Caier's eyes swept across the restaurant once, she used the fastest way to summarize the decorations and styles, hoping to find some of the boss's special tastes.

Although the style here was filled with European style, on the bar outside, there was a huge Pi Xiu. This kind of Chinese style element inlaid here was especially out of place, but the boss used transparent crystal when he was building this Pi Xiu, minimizing the degree of non-fusion.

Moreover, there were also many decorations that reflected Chinese elements. However, all of them appeared to have been diluted. This must have been the idea of Feng Shui. He quietly set up a Feng Shui Formation here and at the same time kept the style of Roman architecture here.

"Colleagues? Why didn't you ask me before you went to the reunion? "

Ouyang Jue did not seem to hear Ning Caier's analysis, he pointed at the schedule for next Friday for Ning Caier to give an explanation. This was not the itinerary he had given her, why would he appear on her itinerary?

"I just received a call this morning. I saw that I had nothing to do that night, so I wrote it down."

Ning Caier felt that this matter was of no big deal. She could have her own private life when she wasn't working, but Ouyang Jue had directly crossed out these two words.

"Director Wu's batch of cuff knob is going to give out samples next week, so you have to come with me to the factory for a business trip over the weekend." Ouyang Jue unceremoniously threw Ning Caier's notebook back to him, "In the future, you must tell me whatever private arrangements you have, you definitely cannot have any conflicts with official business."

Ouyang Jue's tone was extremely overbearing, as though Ning Caier was his personal property. Originally, it wasn't that important whether that fellow student went or not, but right now, Ning Caier couldn't wait to protect her own authority.

"We're just working. I don't have to tell you about my personal matters." Ning Caier's voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely resolute. Seeing that the two were about to argue, Xiao Ningyuan quickly tried to smooth things over.

"CEO, look at how well-prepared Cai'er is. Just relax for a bit and let her have a night of rest to meet her old friends."

Ning Caier was already the most dedicated designer Xiao Ningyuan had ever seen. Others working eight hours a day, she would work sixteen hours at least.

"Teacher Xiao, help me get a bottle of wine from the wine cellar. I'll bring it back later."

Ouyang Jue intentionally sent Xiao Ningyuan away, he knew how much this teacher protected his student, but as an outsider, he didn't understand the main point of's anger.

He got up from his seat, walked to the corner, and sent Ning Caier a message, telling her not to go against Ouyang Jue. After all, he was the CEO of a company.

"Xiao Ningyuan is clearer than you. You must learn from him on this point." When Ouyang Jue saw that Ning Caier's phone had a text message, he could guess what was inside. However, when Ning Caier saw this text message, she did not show any signs of being weak, and it made Ouyang Jue even angrier than before, to the point that he could not speak properly, "Do you want to meet your classmate, or your former boyfriend?"

He had investigated him before and knew that he was Ning Caier's junior high school classmate, so he was afraid that after she went to the reunion, she would be pestered by that man again and he wouldn't be able to accompany her on such occasions.

Furthermore, Ouyang Jue was not willing to accept this in his heart. A diaosi like him was able to meet Ning Caier for private matters, but he, a high quality young man, had to think of a reason every day to have a meal with her.

Ning Caier and Ouyang Jue's lunch disliked each other and she took a taxi back to the company alone before Xiao Ningyuan returned. She hated this life that was controlled by Ouyang Jue, she could not make a decision with her own consciousness every minute.

Ever since Ning Caier had been promoted to designer that day, she was already too busy to look for Han Yuqi, and even greeting him from the elevator became a luxury. As her commute time was not fixed, it would always depend on Ouyang Jue's arrangements.

When Ning Caier returned to the Design Department, she did not greet anyone but only locked herself in her room angrily. However, she did not go to this restaurant for nothing, after investigating the businesses of these bosses, she discovered that they all had a common hobby, which was to enjoy a luxurious European style, but at the same time, want to keep Chinese feng shui theory.

Therefore, in terms of the arrangement of the cuff knob, Ning Caier planned to use two different materials to make it. When there was sufficient sunlight or light, he could see patterns similar to that on the Italian window, but under the dim lighting, she could see talismans related to the theory of feng shui.

Ning Caier had designed the ten hidden patterns of cuff knob to be the ten most ancient Divine Beasts. They were: Bai Ze, Xie, Phoenix, Qilin, Tao Wu, Yao, Hou, Heavy Ming bird, Bifang and Tao Tie, these patterns were simple and concise, but they were vivid and lifelike. Each of them had a different meaning, allowing the guests to wear different cuff knob according to the needs of the occasion.

With the inspiration, Ning Caier drew pictures very quickly. When there was still an hour before work time, she finished ten sets of designs.

Originally, she wanted to ask Xiao Ningyuan to send the blueprints up, but since Teacher Xiao was not there, she knew that the other colleagues did not need to ask him to know that they were not willing to help. Therefore, Ning Caier could only brace herself and knock on the door to Ouyang Jue's office.

"Do you know what your design idea is? Do you know how much the company costs to create this kind of cuff knob?"

When Ouyang Jue saw those diagrams, he had felt that Ning Caier's design was extremely ingenious, but he did not want to give her any praise.

However, Ouyang Jue was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for long, thus he swiveled his chair to the side, and used a side view of his face to face with Ning Caier. Many people felt that Ouyang Jue's side profile was even more handsome than his front face, because this angle could more easily reveal his sculpture-like appearance.

However, Ning Caier clearly did not notice these things, her answer was very formal, causing Ouyang Jue to feel a bit cold. When would this woman have any interest in him?
