This order is indeed very special. It represents an unfinished love, even if it doesn't need to be stated clearly, it is necessary to design a ring, an engagement ring or a proposal ring.
Xiao Yu in the previous life also thought so.
It was supposed to be a ring, the ring the girl was wearing before she got on the ferry.
After Xiao Yu learned the contents of this order, he asked for leave and went to the country in the story. After decades, the port has changed its appearance, and there is no ship on the calm sea, only wandering seabirds, singing leisurely . Xiao Yu spent some thought and found local people to collect information. No one had any impression of this ordinary couple back then, but there were people from the older generation who knew where the jewelry store near the port had been relocated.
This is a tricky way, avoiding the design with the theme of love, and instead looking for the memories of the year, in the end Xiao Yu's work is not considered a design, it is just an ordinary carving with a heart engraved on the inside The silver ring, without any decoration, stands out in a unique way among the design works.
That jewelry store didn't only sell silver rings, but Xiao Yu probably guessed through investigations and his own guesses that the rich man was a penniless poor boy at the time, and that the girl was going home to see her seriously ill father, and the boat ticket was only enough to buy one. Zhang's, there is no money to buy expensive rings, so he designed an ordinary ring in a different way.
Another point, Xiao Yu looked at Lin Zhou's familiar face, and his memory began to slowly return. If he remembered correctly, this order should have been secretly won by si. He said it was a fair competition, but in fact, si's people I have already done my tricks and bought Mr. Ji to let Mr. Ji say something nice in front of the old man.
It was Lin Zhou who told him about this matter, and Xiao Yu looked down on this kind of backdoor thing the most, and then Lin Zhou took the responsibility for this order from him smoothly on the grounds that he would relieve his worries.
At that time, Xiao Yu was very grateful to Lin Zhou. He understood the principle of not doing to others what you don't want to do to others. He felt very embarrassed to push things that he didn't like to Lin Zhou. For this, he felt guilty for a long time. , invited Lin Zhou to eat several times, thinking about it now, I really want to slap myself to death at that time.
Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart, but he is the only one who is still being played around in this unwise game.
Lin Zhou desperately wanted to prove to the si people that he was better than himself, but he foolishly provided Lin Zhou with countless opportunities.
…
After the old man finished telling the story, he still didn't mention "that designer", but asked Mr. Ji to release everyone's design drawings on the screen.
Xiao Yu saw his work at a glance, and it was no different from the one in his memory. It was still the ordinary silver ring. Due to the limitation of the screen size, only the front view was shown in each picture. The carvings on the surface were not conspicuous. The love in the heart is even more non-existent. If you don't look carefully, it seems that it doesn't exist at a glance. It is extremely abrupt in the colorful design drawings.
Among the many design drawings, Xiao Yu's design drawing with the si watermark was the first to attract everyone's attention.
The low-pitched sarcasm echoed in the conference hall, and was quickly drowned out by other voices.
If this ingenious design is favored by customers, it will naturally be praised, if not, it will only be ridiculed.
For the name of the genius of the twenty-five-year-old designer fish, there are far more people who are jealous and doubtful than those who admire and admire him.
You can be the chief designer at such a young age, is there someone behind it
I don’t even have a diploma from a foreign university, is my level average
It's just a vase, looking at the design, even a new intern can't compare to it.
Xiao Yu couldn't hear these discordant voices from the video, but he just knew that these people on the screen must have said so.
Because he heard these words more than once when he was in Si, and each time, the speaker had a similar expression on his face.
Disgusting look.
Xiao Yu couldn't even understand his design, but he thought he had found out the flaws of a genius's distorted face, Xiao Yu had seen it many, many times.
If it was the original Xiao Yu, he would probably have been sulking for a long time seeing this scene, but the current Xiao Yu—
Squatting in front of the ipad and eating melon seeds leisurely, it's like watching a comedy drama.
What is there to care about with this gang of rabble.
The next thing Xiao Yu saw was Lin Zhou's design.
Xiao Yu, who was staring at the screen, snorted coldly - he thought he had snorted coldly, but in fact he only let out a strange "squeak".
He had said earlier that Lin Zhou's design style was different from his. This ring was made from the most expensive materials from head to toe, and it was Lin Zhou's unique gorgeous style.
After being inspired by Xiao Yu's sketches, Lin Zhou figured out that this time the design had to start with simplicity, so in the end, his final draft was a platinum ring decorated with a white flower inlaid with diamonds, and the shape of the ring was slightly lower. After some effort, it was not carved, but made into the shape of petals and ringed up and down. The groove of iloveu was dug out on the inside of the ring, and then filled with expensive sapphires.
This is not the first time Xiao Yu admires this design method that doesn't consider the feeling of wearing at all. What makes him uncomfortable is that the leader is quite like Lin Zhou. When he first joined si, most of the press conferences were It was supported by Lin Zhou's flashy designs, which led to him always being the one to give in first when he and Lin Zhou disagreed.
At that time, the order was not taken by si in the end, so Xiao Yu didn't pay much attention to it later, and he didn't notice the strangeness of Lin Zhou's design drawing. Now that he has a close look at Lin Zhou's design, Xiao Yu can guarantee it. It was entirely the result of the horrible modifications made on the basis of his design drawings.
It's really appalling, it's obviously going to be gorgeous, but it's going to look simple, the final result, at least in Xiao Yu's view, is too cumbersome and lacks charm.
Xiao Yu knew that his evaluation was not objective at all. Not only did it mean that his peers looked down on each other, but Xiao Yu now completely put Lin Zhou on the opposite side of himself, and he judged his enemies with colored glasses. It's just too normal.
...However, this seemingly inexplicable design to Xiao Yu has instead aroused the favor of customers.
It is placed in the very center, several times larger than other pictures, and proudly welcomes the baptism of eyes.
The design director secretly gave Lin Zhou a thumbs up, and several designers around said in a low voice, "As expected of Brother Lin", which made Lin Zhou unable to restrain the joy on his face, and began to think for a while How to speak to appear flattering.
All of this was clearly seen by Xiao Yu, and now he finally felt that the joy on Lin Zhou's face was so disgusting.
Plagiarized plans and stolen victories can still make people feel sincere joy.
Lin Zhou must have thought that the reason for his victory was his modification, which not only retained the charm that Xiao Yu's original work wanted to convey, but also satisfied the design trend.
However, Xiao Yu now knows that this is not the case at all.
Lin Zhou's victory was completely by mistake. He didn't dare to copy Xiao Yu's design completely, he had to make changes, and he also knew that it would be easy to be discovered if only the details were changed, so in order to deceive people, he specially added white flowers that were forcibly buckled on the ring as decoration. In the introduction, it was specifically mentioned that this white flower can be disassembled. It can be said that the only function of this white flower decoration is to make his design drawings look different from Xiao Yu's.
He really succeeded, no one would doubt that this gorgeous ring came from the same design as Xiao Yu's ridiculous silver ring.
However, I'm afraid Lin Zhou himself didn't think that it was this white flower that made up the numbers that the old gentleman took a fancy to.
The reason why Lin Zhou didn't add a love heart or a drop of water as decoration, but added a white flower, was actually because the ring designed by Xiao Yu was engraved with patterns of flowers.
He couldn't understand why Xiao Yu did this, but it didn't hinder his plagiarism, and if it really had a special meaning, he wouldn't miss it—
So he added a single rose.
Xiao Yu sighed.
The flower pattern engraved on the ring does have meaning, but it doesn't have such a profound meaning as others think.
Designing something like this actually pays attention to inspiration, and something like inspiration is even more unreasonable than eye contact.
At that time, Mr. Ji said that he was only the adopted son of the old man. He had never met the lady and could not provide any useful information, so he sorted out some collections and photos of the old man for designers to find inspiration.
In those photos, there is a group photo of a young man and a girl. The two held hands above their heads. They stood under the huge clock tower, their smiles were brighter than the sun, and the hour and minute hands overlapped, as if even time was for them. Love stagnates.
Most of the designers drew the design drawings through this photo, so the clock series rings accounted for half of the country, and the other half noticed the jade bead bracelet on the girl's hand, and chose colorless jadeite rings or Tianyu ring.
But Xiao Yu didn't get any inspiration from it. He felt that this photo couldn't explain anything. The two people in the photo were very well dressed, and they seemed to have a lot of money. , after several years.
This idea seems completely unreasonable to others, but some people will firmly believe in a sudden idea, and they will fight against all opinions and stick to their hearts.
Xiao Yu is exactly such a person, he can be called stupid or stubborn.
He thought this way at the time: no one likes parting, why didn't the young man go home with the girl to visit her family who was seriously ill
Xiao Yu thinks the most reasonable explanation is that at that time, the two of them couldn't afford another boat ticket. The young people who left home for love were finally held back by daily necessities.
This also explains why there are so few photos of young people and girls. Under the oppression of life, they have no extra money for romantic affairs, and even no money for marriage.
Eventually, the girl had to go home alone to see her parents—perhaps with the idea of getting some funding.
This is not a fairy-tale love story at all, but a helpless trifle of life that has faded from youthful frivolity.
Soon, Xiao Yu found out that there used to be a big casino in that small town, and he immediately realized that this was definitely not a coincidence.
This casino has lifted the rosy veil of this memory hidden under time, revealing a cruel and philistine appearance.
Xiao Yu at that time was already very close to the truth, but unfortunately, just when he was about to connect all the clues together, he learned from Lin Zhou that Si had connected with Mr. Ji, disappointed, Xiao Yu immediately went back home.
This made Xiao Yu's final design drawing incomplete, or in other words, incomplete.
The reason why the roses were engraved on the ring was that on his return trip, he looked down from the plane and found a huge red rose flowerbed in the middle of the city.
The broken petals danced against the wind, whining, as if crying.
