Chapter 146 Could it be that Professor Si secretly received a private consultation?

The next morning, Su Nian, wearing a black forest-style cashmere dress and an oatmeal-colored lightweight coat, walked into the Chen's hall in high spirits.

Although she has a bare face, her skin condition is really good in the second half of her pregnancy - it is not the fake white created by liquid foundation, but the pink and transparent skin with its own filter.

The pair of beige flat shoes on her feet were light and steady - if it weren't for the slightly bulging belly that quietly "betrayed her identity", who would have known that she was a pregnant mother?

She had just said hello to the receptionist and hadn't even reached the elevator when she heard a whoosh.

Li Yue rushed over and carefully took her arm, her tone as warm as if she had ten suns in her arms: "Good morning... sister!"

She almost blurted out "Miss", but she slammed on the brakes and abruptly changed to a more down-to-earth name.

Su Nian was amused by her exaggerated posture: "Good morning! I'm not at the point where I need help after taking two steps, am I?"

She tried to stretch her arms slightly and felt that she was now flexible enough to run around the hall twice.

Li Yue wasn't listening at all, holding onto him tightly—regardless of whether she was a "young lady" or a "pregnant woman under key protection," she'd just help him first! This workplace survival instinct was even more dramatic than the screenwriters of melodramatic dramas.

It wasn't until Su Nian sat down at her workstation that Li Yue finally managed to utter the words she had been holding back. She leaned close to her ear, her voice low, her eyes blazing like searchlights. "Hey, that Cartier you're wearing! It's a limited edition? I saw it downstairs just now, and the logo was so dazzling—wow, it's starting at six figures! And you wear it so plainly to work?"

Su Nian was stunned by her series of exclamations and subconsciously raised his wrist to look.

When Si Yan put it on her yesterday, she only thought the style was nice and it made her wrist look thinner, and she never thought of asking the price.

Hearing Li Yue's words, the happiness in her heart was instantly mixed with a bit of "shock": "My husband gave it to me. It really is... Is it a limited edition? I didn't ask how much it was."

What, six figures?!

Good boy! Su Nian's expression remained unchanged, but she took a deep breath in her heart. Her fingers quietly rubbed the bracelet, and suddenly she felt that her wrist was too heavy to lift. She thought, with so much money, could it be that Professor Si had secretly accepted a private consultation?

Li Yue couldn't see the turmoil in her heart, but only saw this sister's calm face as if "it's just a bracelet", and couldn't help but respect her: a real wealthy Versailles Nian, she is wearing a year's salary on her hand, but her expression is as if she just bought a cup of milk tea from Mixue Bingcheng.

In the afternoon, Chen Ran called Lan Ting to his top-floor office and pointed at a document on the table. "We at Chen Corporation are currently discussing cooperation with a French design studio. They want to see a set of our concept designs first to test our capabilities."

He handed over a document and said, "Here are the requirements."

Lan Ting took the document and looked through it carefully, frowning slightly. "What do you think? Do you want each design team in our design department to submit a proposal for them to screen?"

She grumbled inwardly: Isn't this like asking all the contestants to reveal their cards and wait for the other side to pick the cabbage?

Chen Ran picked up the teacup, blew on it, and said slowly, "Wouldn't that mean we can just wholesale at the vegetable market? I want Su Nian to try it out. What do you think?"

He thought to himself: Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk.

In this way, the plan of "giving her a small project to play with at the right time" was actually fulfilled immediately!

Lan Ting's heart moved. This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for Su Nian.

He immediately agreed: "Su Nian's design style is inherently international. He's quick-witted, innovative, and youthful. His wild imagination hasn't been blunted by the client's 're-engineering' requirements. I think it's feasible! Maybe it'll give them a 'bright eye' or even a 'shocking shock'!"

Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction: "That's settled then. Give her a chance and see what this little girl can do."

He seemed to have seen Su Nian drawing frantically, and silently blessed her: Girl, hold on, your dad can only help you up to this point, the rest is up to you.

This is indeed a good opportunity. It allows her to be exposed to international design concepts and can be combined with her dream of studying in France. It can be regarded as a "preview".

Lan Ting thought for a moment and added, "Mr. Chen, this project is a good training for Su Nian, but the concept design requires frequent communication with the French team, and the requirements for the connection between language and design ideas are not low."

Chen Ran was well prepared, tapping his fingertips on the coffee table. "I've already arranged professional English training for her twice a week, so it won't interfere with her normal work. Besides, isn't she applying to schools in France? This project is a perfect fit. Once the project is finished, if her application goes well, maybe I can arrange for her to go to France directly."

He looked at Lan Ting, his eyes filled with hope for his daughter. "I know this will be hard for her, but she's not one to be afraid of hardship. The key is to allow her to move forward step by step in the field she loves."

Lan Ting put down her teacup and said firmly, "Don't worry, Director Chen. I will cooperate with you in planning the project. I will first discuss my ideas with Su Nian and then arrange for an experienced designer from the team to assist her to ensure the smooth progress of the project."

She felt inwardly: This is not a project at all, it is clearly a path for a rich family's daughter to gild herself!

Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction, stood up and walked to the French window, looking at the busy street below, his tone filled with emotion: "I have worked hard in my career all my life just to give my family back home a stable future. Now seeing this child have his own pursuits and can achieve them step by step, it is better than anything else."

He turned around and looked at Lan Ting. "I'll be thanking you for taking care of this matter. If you need any coordination, just come to me directly."

Lan Ting stood up and responded, "Mr. Chen, you're too polite. This is my job. I'll go back and talk to Su Nian first and come up with a preliminary project plan as soon as possible."
