Shi Yunnan had just sent Luo Lingsheng off after breakfast when he received a WeChat message from Lu Zhaoan—
The other party invited him to the Yuanshi Jade Design Studio at 3:00 in the afternoon, saying that there was something very important to announce.
Shi Yunnan calculated the time a little, and happily agreed.
He just finished the design draft of the first edition, and he just needs to discuss the details with Lu Zhaoan and the polishing master of the jade factory.
It was half a quarter to three in the afternoon.
Shi Yunnan arrived at Yuan's Design Studio around Linglong Market. He was just about to take the elevator upstairs when he heard a request from the door, "Hey! Please wait!"
Shi Yunnan recognized the owner of the voice and pressed the 'open door' button for the first time.
At the same time, Yuan Rui got in sideways, "Thank you..."
He met Shi Yunnan's familiar face, and said the word 'Xie' completely, and then his face showed an inexplicable blush.
Shi Yunnan poked, "Yuan Rui, why are you shy?"
"Nonsense! Can I be shy with you?" Yuan Rui denied.
Immediately, he faltered and said, "Then what, I was on the rooftop of the hotel the other night, Ma, trouble you."
"No trouble."
Shi Yunnan was a little joking, "But someone suddenly dirty my clothes like a small crying bag, it's tens of thousands of dollars."
"I'll pay!" Yuan Rui responded quickly, and suddenly remembered something embarrassing to add, "When I get paid, I'll definitely save money to compensate you as soon as possible."
The two can be regarded as 'no fight, no acquaintance'. After getting along for so many times, Yuan Rui's inherent bad impression of Shi Yunnan has disappeared. On the other hand, he feels that the other party is still a pretty good person.
It's a pity that the relationship between Xie Keyue and Shi Yunnan is not good, otherwise, Yuan Rui really wants to make this friend deeply.
Shi Yunnan pressed the elevator floor button, "Master Yuan agreed to your participation in the jade design?"
"Ok."
Yuan Rui responded, and his eyes rarely brought a light of excitement and satisfaction.
Last night, Yuan Puguang and Yuan Rui, the father and son, reached an unprecedented reconciliation, and the other party agreed to participate in Yuan's jade design work.
However, in order to prevent Yuan Rui from making a fool of himself, Yuan Puguang still froze his bank card, and asked him to only use the hard work of 'commuting' in exchange for wages.
Yuan Puguang, who has always scolded himself for being useless, finally gave him other jobs besides jade carving, and it was the jade design he had chosen before!
So Yuan Rui agreed to this condition without even thinking about it.
He was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night. After learning that the meeting was going to be held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he hurriedly rushed to the vicinity and waited after he even dealt with the lunch at will.
In order not to let others see his excitement, Yuan Rui deliberately waited until just now before stepping into the building where Yuan's Jade Studio was located, only to meet Shi Yunnan.
Shi Yunnan did not reveal his excitement, but it was difficult to tease him in his voice, "Young Master Yuan, come on."
"Well, of course."
Yuan Rui was afraid that he would be exposed, so he coughed twice deliberately.
The elevator door slammed open.
Lu Zhaoan went down the whole floor as Yuan's independent jade design work. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he could see the office lobby in the transparent glass.
Seeing Lu Zhaoan's tall and thin figure, Yuan Rui subconsciously paused, "Shi Yunan."
"What's wrong?" Shi Yunnan, who was walking in front, turned around and asked.
Yuan Rui glanced at Lu Zhaoan from the corner of his eye again, and then covered the corners of his mouth like a cover, "I talked to you that day after I was drunk, can I trouble you... Help me keep it a secret? At least, don't let me The family knows."
Yuan Rui approached him, and he seldom relented. "Please, just treat me as I owe you a favor, and I will pay it back next time!"
Shi Yunnan was keenly aware of what had happened, and raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, I don't like to get involved in other people's private affairs. I have heard what you said that night and forgot."
The second half of the sentence was obviously deliberately said to Yuan Rui.
Yuan Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."
If nothing else, just based on his understanding of Shi Yunnan two or three times, the latter's words can be completely trusted.
Shi Yunnan curled his lips with a funny smile. He found that this guy Yuan Rui liked to say 'thank you' to himself more and more. He was a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the first time they met, and he was about to be promoted to a polite pioneer in an all-round way.
"Okay, let's go in."
Shi Yunnan said these words and entered the studio first.
Yuan Rui stayed in place for a few seconds, and saw Lu Zhaoan and other designers in the studio through the glass. This was the first time he was full of energy after giving up jade carving.
Check it out!
It turned out that he still had the opportunity to participate in his own business, and he still had the opportunity to stand side by side with that person.
Yuan Rui suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, and stepped into the design studio with a serious look.
…
In addition to inviting Shi Yunan and Yuan Shi to collaborate on the design, Lu Zhaoan also invited six other designers, three men and three women, half of which are young and experienced designers.
This is the first time Shi Yunnan has met with other design colleagues. In addition to being polite, they also look at each other secretly.
Seeing Yuan Rui who arrived at the studio on time, Lu Zhaoan breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke as a 'leader', "Everyone, since everyone is here, please take a seat in the conference room?"
"I'm going to announce three things today, but it shouldn't delay everyone for a few minutes."
"Ok, no problem."
Shi Yunnan heard other people's responses, but silently followed at the end. He actually doesn't like dealing with a bunch of strangers except when necessary.
Shi Yunnan originally wanted to find a place to sit at the back, but as soon as he entered the conference room, he heard Lu Zhaoan's voice, "Mr. Shi, are you sitting here?"
Lu Zhaoan was referring to the second seat in the conference room.
It looks like an ordinary position, but in the eyes of other designers, it represents the 'second seat' of the design studio.
Yang Sen, one of the designers, just opened the second chair when he heard these words. He kept his face calm, and stepped back half a step to give it to Shi Yunan, "Please."
Soon, Yang Sen sat in the ordinary vacant seat next to him, looking at Shi Yunnan, the unfamiliar face, in a low-key manner.
He has been in the jade design circle for fifteen years and has never heard of the name 'Shi Yunnan' before.
Compared with others, Yang Sen should be the leader of Yuanshi Jade Studio in terms of qualifications and actual performance.
In Lu Zhaoan's mouth at this moment, he was replaced by a little-known Shi Yunan, and it was false to say that there was no dissatisfaction.
Shi Yunnan pretended not to see Yang Sen's scrutiny, so he was at ease, after all, he was not lacking in strength.
Lu Zhaoan is not a person who can speak polite words. After a simple opening remark and introduction to the names of the designers, he cut into the theme succinctly.
"Today I mainly want to announce three important things on behalf of the Yuan family—"
"Although the cooperation agreement signed by Yuan's and everyone is free, but after all, the studio is here, and no matter what, there must be a bright-faced chief designer, which is convenient for everyone to communicate occasionally."
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
"This is the first point." Lu Zhaoan aimed his gaze at Shi Yunnan, and said quietly and steadily, "The Yuan family decided to let Mr. Shi Yunnan temporarily take over this position. I wonder what the intentions of Mr. Shi and other designers are?"
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Before half a minute, he didn't know that Lu Zhaoan and Yuan Shi had such thoughts.
Before Shi Yunan could express his position, the other six designers present murmured.
It is still up to Yang Sen to speak on behalf of everyone, "Excuse my ignorance. I don't know what masterpiece Mr. Shi has done before? Do you have connections in the jade circle and the auction house?"
Yuanshi's jade design takes two routes -
One is the popular new route, and the other is the luxury high-end route.
The former relies on online and offline shop promotion, while the latter relies more on auction houses or celebrity connections to sell.
Shi Yunnan smiled slightly, "I have been living abroad before, and I have been engaged in more diamond jewelry design. Speaking of domestic masterpieces, I'm sorry, but I really don't have them at the moment."
The tone that is neither arrogant nor humble, in exchange for more secret doubts from others.
Shi Yunnan didn't think the position of 'Chief Designer' was so important.
After all, he is only a person who needs to come forward when he encounters design troubles, and the cooperation agreements signed by all the designers present are equal.
"Mr. Shi is too modest, Lou's design is quite famous in the circle." Lu Zhaoan added Shi Yunan.
Of course, about Shi Yunnan's true wealthy identity, he did not deliberately disclose it to outsiders.
Lu Zhaoan added an exit, but Yang Sen and the other designers stopped for a while.
After all, Lou's design involving jade beads has attracted a wave of popularity a while ago, and even caused many similar industries to follow suit.
They work as jade designers, but have heard of it.
But Shi Yunnan looks so young, once the design is successful, it is luck at best! How can it represent all the strength
This is too sloppy!
The other six designers did not agree with it, but they wanted to be good people and good-natured, and they were not willing to be the first to speak out against it.
Lu Zhaoan continued to ask, "Mr. Shi, what do you think about yourself?"
Shi Yunnan felt the 'contempt' gathered in secret around him, and suddenly felt that sitting in this position was not for nothing.
He slightly hooked his lips, "Thank you everyone, I can accept it."
Shi Yunnan never denied that he had bad roots in his bones—
The more others show dissatisfaction or malice towards him, the more he has to secretly fight for a win or loss.
What is there to say? He just likes to see other people dislike him and can't fight him.
As soon as the voice fell, there was a loud support in the conference room—
"I have no opinion!"
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, only to find that Yuan Rui, who was sitting at the end, made a sound excitedly.
Yuan Rui met Shi Yunan's gaze and applauded slowly to show his sincerity, completely ignoring the doubts and displeasure in the eyes of other designers.
joke!
He only knew Shi Yunnan as the designer of the audience. From the level of familiarity, he would definitely choose each other!
"Mr. Lu, who is this?" Another young designer asked.
Lu Zhaoan replied, "This is the second thing I want to tell you. From today, Yuan Rui will take over my position and become the core person in charge of Yuan's Jade Design Studio."
This is the result that he and Yuan Puguang have negotiated unanimously.
As soon as everyone heard Yuan Rui's surname, they understood the general identity of the other party, and immediately had no opinion.
"Please rest assured that the content of the contract signed before is still the same, you are responsible for providing the design draft, Yuanshi is responsible for providing the materials and processing, and the subsequent profits will be divided according to the signing."
"Whether it's me or Yuan Rui, I'm responsible for everything after the design for everyone, and it won't affect your design performance."
"Of course, I still hope that your designs follow the standard line of originality. In addition, if you encounter any unnecessary troubles in the future, we Yuan and Mr. Shi will be the front line to solve them for everyone."
When Yang Sen and the others heard this, they had to acquiesce to the first two points. After all, this 'design business' is really not a loss for them.
Among all the people, only Shi Yunnan noticed something was wrong. His eyebrows crossed his doubts, "Mr. Lu, did you just say that Yuan Rui took your position? Instead of assisting?"
"What about yourself?"
Following this question, the audience unconsciously reacted.
Yuan Rui, who was sitting at the end, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously aimed his gaze at Lu Zhaoan in the main seat.
Lu Zhaoan was silent for a moment, then calmly said, "This is the third thing I want to say, from now on, I will withdraw from Yuan's Jade Studio and the management of Yuan's, and I hope that everyone can abide by the previous agreement, and Yuan's Together we will get better and better.”
"..."
For a while, everyone was silent.
Shi Yunnan glanced at Yuan Rui at the end, and saw the smile on the corner of his mouth freeze instantly.
Shi Yunnan turned his gaze back to Lu Zhaoan's face again, and understood in time within two seconds—
No wonder in the original text of his dream, no matter how well Yuan Rui and Xie Keyue did in the field of jade design and sales, Lu Zhaoan never existed.
It turns out that before everything officially started, Lu Zhaoan chose to quit automatically
