"Brother Qin, please take the gifts back to Sister Shan and the children. If you have time on Saturday, we'll go back to the seaside villa for two days. We'll invite Brother Ke and the others to come over for a get-together then."
Qin Xiu nodded, but dared not say anything more because of his master's sharp warning gaze. He waved to Zhu Qianying, picked up the plate, and quickly returned to the Yanhuang Brigade.
The employees of Han Zhiying, whether they were starving or more sensible than Qin Xiu, rushed to the self-service area to get food as soon as they entered. Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying, on the other hand, leisurely got a cup of hot milk, found a two-person table and sat down. Only after Zhu Qianying drank half a cup of milk did the two of them get up to get food.
When Zhu Qianying had just finished her postpartum confinement, she gained ten pounds. Of course, considering her height and weight ratio, gaining ten pounds actually made her look more plump and gave her a unique charm.
As for Yan Shao, he loves her no matter what. In any case, as long as it's Zhu Qianying, no matter how fat she gets, he can still find something cute about her.
But Zhu Qianying couldn't stand it. After finishing her postpartum confinement, she intensified her exercise for several months and has now finally regained her pre-pregnancy figure.
However, despite her weight loss efforts, she never reduced her food intake.
For example, right now, she can still take whatever she wants to eat. Anyway, as long as Yan Shao is happy, he will never stop her. In fact, remembering that she had mentioned wanting lamb skewers several times while she was abroad, he specially instructed the manager to go next door and buy a few freshly grilled lamb skewers.
"Hmm, the grilled lamb skewers here are really good, they taste just as good as the ones at the barbecue skewer shop next door!"
Zhu Qianying was very satisfied as she pulled on the fragrant lamb skewers, but she forgot that this was a Western-style buffet restaurant, so where did the lamb skewers come from?
Yan Shao didn't reveal anything, and as always, he slowly cut his steak and drank his coffee, but his eyes were glued to Zhu Qianying's face and body and he hardly looked away.
It is said that the honeymoon phase has an expiration date; once it's over, the feelings will fade.
But Yan Shao felt that his feelings for Zhu Qianying seemed to grow stronger as they spent more time together.
For example, the two of them can sit facing each other and have lunch almost every day, but he still can't get tired of looking at her.
Zhu Qianying, from the day she met him, has always been this unpretentious and authentic self.
But it was precisely this unpretentious, most authentic self that he found precious.
Generally speaking, an adult who lives to their twenties or thirties will inevitably become vulgar and pretentious.
Learn to say one thing and mean another, learn to arm yourself to please others.
But she was always very frank with him, which was probably one of the reasons why he loved her more and more.
"Is it really that delicious? Let's go to the border for a few days in a while. The grilled lamb skewers there are really good!"
Yan Shao looked at her with doting eyes and voiced the thought that had just flashed through his mind.
"Okay, we'll go after you finish what you're doing and when Xiaoxiao is a little older!"
Now, Zhu Qianying would never be willing to leave her precious daughter behind to go so far away to play.
"Yes, I will speed things up and try to complete this project as quickly as possible."
Yanhuang hadn't even submitted a bidding proposal yet, so the project was practically still in its infancy.
However, Yan Ting would bring this up with Yan Shao, saying that in China, it would be impossible to find a company more suitable than Yanhuang to complete this project.
Because the project involved too many confidential matters, the two changed the subject after exchanging a few words.
When the topic turned to the studio, Yan Shao suddenly remembered something.
"Ying'er, I just asked around and found out that the reason Han Zhiying received the invitation from the organizing committee this time is because of you."
Zhu Qianying was skeptical. "Because of me? I don't think I'm famous enough to receive an invitation."
Typically, attendees at these exhibitions are divided into two categories.
One type is those specially invited by the organizing committee, and the other is those who apply on their own.
These two types of members receive different treatment.
Members specially invited by the organizing committee must be well-known jewelry companies or famous designers in China. These individuals do not need to go through the review process and can directly secure a place at the exhibition.
Those who submit their applications themselves will need to be reviewed by the organizing committee to confirm their eligibility before they can participate in the exhibition.
Based on what Zhu Qianying had heard in the past, the chance of ultimately qualifying after this review is about 10%.
Before going abroad, Zhu Qianying had already planned to prepare materials and submit her application to the organizing committee after returning to China. Unexpectedly, she received a special invitation notice before she even started preparing.
This is why Zhu Qianying's first reaction upon seeing the message was to ask Yan Shao the same question.
Now that Yan Shao said it was because of her, she found it even more unbelievable.
Yan Shao didn't rush to answer her. He took a tissue and handed it to her to wipe the grease from the corner of her mouth before calmly explaining the reason.
"Didn't Mom and Dad's wedding rings get exhibited abroad before?"
Zhu Qianying nodded. Although some time had passed, she could not forget it, because those rings and the rings her mother got for her wedding were among the three pieces she was most satisfied with for the time being.
"Do you remember? I told you later that if your work hadn't been withdrawn, winning a second or third prize would have been no problem at all."
Zhu Qianying nodded again.
"The chairman of this organizing committee served as a judge at that exhibition. He remembers you and your design work. So, when he learned that you had returned to China and opened the Han Zhi Ying Studio, he gave the special invitation spot he had to Han Zhi Ying!"
After hearing what seemed like a simple matter but actually involved a very complicated process, Zhu Qianying remained silent for a moment and then let out a long sigh.
"So, you're right!" Yan Shao's words sounded a bit nonsensical.
Zhu Qianying didn't immediately grasp the meaning behind his words, and looked up at him in confusion, "What?"
"Don't you remember? When I found out about it later, didn't I feel sorry for you?"
Zhu Qianying hummed in agreement.
"You said back then that as long as you have talent, you will be recognized sooner or later, it's just a little later. You are still young, you can wait, and you can endure it!"
Zhu Qianying didn't quite remember those words.
Of course, that wasn't the exact wording, but Yan Shao conveyed the general meaning.
Zhu Qianying tilted her head and thought for a moment, vaguely remembering that she had indeed said such passionate words at the time.
"Okay, I was just trying to comfort you, and you actually took it seriously?"
Zhu Qianying's words seemed both true and false, but Yan Shao knew that what she said was the truth she believed in.
That's why she has been working tirelessly and making progress in the field of jewelry design since she was a teenager.
