Chapter 132 [Nymph’s Rebirth]
"Nothing, I've been busy lately and haven't had time to go back to see you. Is everything okay at home?"
"Okay, there's nothing to do at home, don't worry. Your Uncle De is cooking in the kitchen, and Ah Hao has gone to school. We are all fine." Zhang Xiufang spoke loudly and crisply.
At this moment, Lin Jianyan vaguely heard a voice calling "Boss, pay the bill" from the other end of the phone, and it seemed that the restaurant was very busy.
"Mom, you go and do your work first. I'll come back to see you in a couple of days when I'm not busy anymore."
"Okay, I'm really busy right now. I'll call you when I have time." Zhang Xiufang replied.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jianyan was stunned for a while, and suddenly chuckled: "It's great that everyone is busy."
When he was in a good mood at night, he would drink an extra bowl of soup, and his nighttime activities would become more vigorous, almost making Qin Wu unable to bear it.
Qin Wu held his sweaty back and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so passionate?"
Lin Jianyan took two quick breaths, his eyes slightly narrowed, the corners of his eyes raised, as if hiding endless emotions, and as his eyes moved, there seemed to be lingering threads of love.
Lin Jianyan's eyes lit up frighteningly, and he lowered his head and kissed her, "Don't worry about it, I'm happy anyway."
Qin Wu didn't care anymore and didn't have the time to care, so he started eating the meat.
The consequence of a night of indulgence was that Lin Jianyan almost couldn't get up in the morning.
Lin Jianyan held his waist and grinned, "As expected, people still can't indulge themselves."
He felt really uncomfortable, so Lin Jianyan asked Uncle Zhao to hire a masseur to come to his house. After two rounds of massage, his muscles and bones felt relaxed and he felt much better.
It was still early and there was still time. After Lin Jin had breakfast, he packed up and took a taxi to the building.
It was still the third floor. When he arrived, there were only two people in front of him. He waited outside for a while. Two people went in one after another. After a while, they came out with frustrated looks on their faces. It seemed that they had not passed the assessment.
Seeing that they all came out, Lin Jianyan went in.
Inside the room, the four examiners all had a look of obvious boredom on their faces, as if they had lost all their patience due to the lengthy interview process.
"Alas." Adair sighed, "This group of young students is not good enough. Only three passed this morning. Some of them graduated from prestigious schools and are not as good as these ordinary school students."
The older examiner nodded slightly, his face full of disappointment, and said in a serious tone, "Everyone is overconfident, even a little arrogant, and their own abilities do not match their academic qualifications and reputations at all."
A lady with gorgeous makeup next to her could not hide her fatigue. She complained, "Don't arrange for me to come next time. If it weren't for the day when Mr. Lin was due, I would have left when the first student in the morning was so disappointing."
A few people were chatting with each other, and suddenly, a crisp knock on the door interrupted the conversation in the house. Adair shouted loudly, "Come in."
Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes turned to the door, and they saw Lin Jianyan gently push the door open and step steadily into the house.
The fatigue they had been tormented with for the whole morning was swept away. The old examiner's frown gradually relaxed, and the lady with gorgeous makeup sat up straighter.
Lin Jianyan closed the door, walked over with a smile, and sat across from them. "Sorry for the long wait."
Adair said quickly: "Soon, soon, come over, that design you prepared..."
The four of them looked at him expectantly. They knew what the four key words were, which was neither difficult nor easy.
They had heard about Lin Jianyan's deeds a long time ago, and had looked up some information in the past two days, which made them even more excited. They had spent the past three days like a year, and could not wait to see the results.
Lin Jianyan nodded slightly, unhurriedly opened his briefcase, and took out a carefully bound design draft. He gently placed the design draft on the table, pushed it in front of the four examiners, and said with a smile: "Everyone, take a look. I won't explain it. There are detailed design concepts and breakdown details written by me."
When the four examiners heard this, Adair reached out and took the design draft first. He looked so anxious as if he was afraid that the exquisite creativity in the draft would disappear if he was late for a second.
The other three glared at him, then quickly gathered around him.
Adele was the first to open it, and the beautifully drawn skirt rendering on the front page instantly caught everyone's attention.
The delicate lace borders gently wrap around the skirt like layers of clouds. Each lace flower has a delicate texture, as if it is a flower that has just bloomed in spring, exuding a sweet scent.
The pleated design of the skirt is clever and layered. It seems to be dancing gently with the ups and downs of the lines, vaguely outlining the girl's slenderness and playfulness.
The older examiner looked at Lin Jianyan's unique and profound interpretation of the "Lolita" style, with surprise and astonishment in his eyes.
The two ladies were amazed by the color combination and whispered: "The combination of pink and light colors is like a girl's dream, sweet and elegant."
"The girl's color is matched with pearls and crystals. Although it is an abrupt accessory, it looks so harmonious. It is full of youthful vitality, yet dignified and noble."
The two of them murmured absentmindedly: "It's so beautiful."
Want to wear...
After a long while, Adair slowly raised his head, his eyes full of admiration, "Mr. Lin, this design is truly amazing. How did you come up with such an exquisite work in such a short time?"
Lin Jianyan smiled and shook her head, "Actually, this was not something I came up with. I was just lucky enough to have seen this type of skirt, and it happened to match what you guys wanted, so I thought of designing it in the "Lolita" style."
"I named this work [The Rebirth of Nymph]. What do you think? Are you satisfied? Can I pass the test?"
Adele and the two ladies nodded: "We are satisfied. Very satisfied. It is an absolutely perfect work."
The older examiner finally raised his head and showed a rare smile on his face: "It is said that Nymphs are minor goddesses in Greek mythology. More people understand them as fairies and elves. They are usually in the image of young girls, living freely between heaven and earth."
"Mr. Lin, I have to say that this design is quite outstanding. Your understanding of the girlish style and the clever combination of colors and pearls are eye-catching. From a professional perspective, both the creativity and operability have reached a very high level."
He took out his seal and pressed it on the blank space of the design. "I give it ten points."
The other three people also took out their seals and pressed them on the blank spaces.
"I give it ten points too."
"Me too."
"I would like to give it more points, but unfortunately, the perfect score is 10."
The four of them stood up and shook hands with Lin Jianyan with a smile. Lin Jianyan also stood up and extended his hand.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin, and congratulations on becoming one of the senior designers."
