After the auction, Zhu Qianying was busy for two more days. On the third night, she and Yan Han went to Mr. and Mrs. Lei's house as promised.
Before going, Zhu Qianying asked Yan Han what gifts he needed to prepare. Yan Han himself was a person who was not good at etiquette. After all, with his status, etiquette was something that others did for him rather than him doing.
As for those things he was forced to do, they were mostly done by the elders in his family.
He always knew how to give gifts to his elders in a way that suited their tastes, after all, they were people he cared about very much, and he did a very good job in that regard.
As for those outsiders who insisted that he perform certain formalities, most of them were prepared for him by his good stewards and subordinates, such as Uncle Hai, Qin Xiu, Ke Kai, and Ma Peng.
It was precisely these good subordinates and housekeepers of his that had spoiled Young Master Yan so much that he was no longer an earthling.
"There's no need to prepare anything. I ordered two bottles of rare red wine, and I'll just pick them up on my way tonight."
Zhu Qianying nodded without saying anything more.
But when they arrived at the Lei family home that evening, as Yan Han presented the two expensive bottles of red wine to the Lei couple, Zhu Qianying also took out two exquisitely packaged small boxes from her bag and presented them to her hosts.
"Mr. Lei, Mrs. Lei, this is just a small token of my appreciation."
Mr. and Mrs. Lei opened the small boxes, and inside each box was a jade brooch.
However, Mr. Lei's design is simpler and more stable, while Mrs. Lei's design is more elegant and noble.
"Hey, Shadow, you're amazing! This brooch is so beautiful, it's exactly what I wanted, I love it!"
Mrs. Lei seemed to really like her, and she opened her arms and hugged Zhu Qianying tightly.
"Really? I'm glad you like them! I noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Lei seemed to prefer Chinese-style clothing the other day, so I'm giving you these two early-designed brooches. I hope you don't mind my clumsy skills back then."
It's obvious that Zhu Qianying's pair of jade brooches are definitely not as expensive as the two bottles of red wine that Yan Han brought.
But her strength lies in her sincerity, and in her ability to cater to people's preferences better than mass-market products like red wine.
She's probably the kind of scheming girl that's all the rage online. But her scheming isn't annoying; on the contrary, it's quite delightful.
This reminded Yan Han of the first time this girl met his parents, she brought two pots of auspicious plants worth tens of yuan. Anyone else would have dared not have done that.
But she just came so openly and naturally, and her parents treated her and the two pots of grass like treasures!
No, he himself treasured that pot of grass immensely.
Even now, his lucky grass is still in his bedroom. Every few days, he takes it out to see the sun and rain, and it grows incredibly lush and healthy!
"Shadow, you're being too formal. You keep calling us Mr. Lei and Mrs. Lei all the time. It's hurting my ears. Just call us Brother Lei and Sister-in-law Lei like Xiao Yan does!"
Mrs. Lei affectionately led Zhu Qianying to sit down, then lowered her head and began to examine the brooch again. Meanwhile, the two bottles of red wine that Yan Han had brought over had already been taken away by the maid and placed in the wine cabinet.
“Sister Lei, do you really like this style of brooch? I also have a pair of amethyst brooches, which were designed around the same time. If you don’t mind, I can bring them over another day.”
Zhu Qianying has always been full of inspiration, but after all, the market's acceptance is limited. Therefore, some of her works are only made as archives for her own use and are not promoted to the market.
"Shadow, so you mean these two brooches are unique, with absolutely no duplicates?"
Mrs. Lei seemed even happier upon realizing that the treasure she possessed might be one of a kind on the market.
"Yes, this style of product has a relatively small audience, and our Ying Jewelry brand is not yet famous enough to lead fashion. Therefore, I keep some of the designs that cannot be accepted by the public as my private collection."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lei became even more enamored with the brooch in her hand.
Zhu Qianying and Mrs. Lei whispered to each other for a while before Yan Han finally managed to get a chance to come closer.
"Ying'er!"
Zhu Qianying turned to look at him and was a little frightened by his serious expression.
Because, in the past two days, Young Master Yan has rarely faced her with such a blank expression.
"Um?!"
Yan Han glanced at Mrs. Lei, who was still happily studying how to wear the brooch to look good, and although she tried her best to suppress it, she still asked sourly.
"You've never given me a gift before, have you?"
Zhu Qianying paused for a moment, tilted her head and thought about it. It seemed that it was indeed the case.
"No? I forgot..."
Although she herself couldn't remember whether she had given him a gift or not, she would never admit it, even if it meant death.
Anyway, he's never given me anything, has he?
Oh... except that I gave her a little tadpole, and then it took root and sprouted on her.
Fortunately, the tadpole sprouted and developed into a surprisingly good product, so it's not unreasonable to give it a gift!
"I never sent it in the first place, what do you mean by 'never sent it'? What do you mean you forgot!"
Young Master Yan looked indignant, as if Zhu Qianying owed him not just a gift, but hundreds of billions of dollars in cash.
"Okay, if you don't have any, then you don't have any. You can choose whatever you like when we get back. Is that alright?"
Zhu Qianying's collection is not small, but its value is not necessarily extremely high.
As for whether there is anything that suits Young Master Yan's taste, or whether it can catch his eye, she really doesn't know!
Even though she made such a generous promise, Young Master Yan was still very dissatisfied.
He seemed to have been holding back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but say, "Can't you design one for me again?"
Zhu Qianying took a deep breath to calm the frustration in her heart. "Pushing an inch only makes you want a mile," she thought, "that's exactly what you mean by shameless people like Young Master Yan!"
“Okay…” Zhu Qianying let out a deep breath.
She may not be a famous designer, but she has style, you know!
It's not like you can just design something for someone else and expect them to do it well!
However, Zhu Qianying never said these words!
Because she knew that with Young Master Yan's personality, he would do everything he could to get what he wanted.
Rather than having to fight him and then ultimately devise a plan for him, it would be much easier for both of them to just agree to his proposal from the start!
With this thought in mind, Zhu Qianying agreed verbally, but in her heart she was thinking that she would just design something casually and give it to Young Master Yan when she got back to appease him.
