Chapter 124 Cheating
It was purely coincidental that she designed the piano series.
If it weren't for that accident she'd rather not talk about, she wouldn't have been able to come up with such unique inspiration.
Jiang Ning thought that this was probably what they meant by "a chance encounter leading to unexpected success"!
Miranda gave BYC a long rave review.
Jiang Ning's face grew increasingly red.
Seeing Jiang Ning blush, Mo Yan gave a cold snort:
"You still know how to blush, at least you have some sense of shame."
Jiang Ning was too lazy to pay any attention to Mo Yan.
She's in a pretty good mood right now.
Although she didn't want to claim the BYC identity, she still felt very proud to hear Miranda praise BYC so highly.
After all, Miranda Kerr is a top figure in the jewelry and fashion industry, and to be recognized by her is an honor.
Miranda didn't quite understand why Jiang Ning was smiling so broadly, as if she herself had been praised, after she had praised BYC for so long.
She genuinely didn't think much of Jiang Ning.
At least the emerald necklace that Mo Yan picked up from Jiang Ning's desk was beneath her notice.
The studio does use synthetic gemstones to make samples for practice, but aside from the materials themselves, the cutting, setting, and design are all subpar.
If this level of quality were to be shown at LD Jewelry Fashion Week, it would only lower the overall standard of the fashion week.
This is something Miranda absolutely cannot tolerate.
Jewelry is a symbol of status, position, and wealth.
Miranda is very intolerant of any imperfections.
Therefore, from the very beginning, she was determined to disqualify Jiang Ning from participating in LD Jewelry Fashion Week.
But now...
"I'll give you a chance because of your confidence."
Miranda lowered her eyelids, which were covered in a thick layer of mascara.
"If you want to go to LD Jewelry Fashion Week, unless... you can make use of this trash, waste."
She deliberately crushed the main stone of the already shattered emerald necklace with her high heels.
"That's going too far!"
Zhang Xiaofang couldn't help but feel indignant on Jiang Ning's behalf.
She designed the necklace herself, and Jiang Ning was innocently implicated. She already felt very sorry for Jiang Ning, but she didn't expect the other party to make even more outrageous demands.
“Excessive?” Miranda crossed her arms and sneered. “A designer who can’t even do this should probably change careers as soon as possible.”
"you!"
Zhang Xiaofang wanted to say something, but saw Jiang Ning wave her hand.
Jiang Ning squatted down and picked up the broken gems and metal fragments that Mo Yan had damaged and Miranda had trampled on even more.
Seeing Jiang Ning picking things up with such seriousness, Mo Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
"You look like a scavenger right now."
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at Mo Yan.
She picked up the broken gems and fractured metal, but no matter how she looked at them, they didn't seem like they could be repaired.
Beside them, Zhang Xiaofang and Yang Nan were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
They knew how important the qualification to participate in LD Jewelry Fashion Week was to Jiang Ning.
That was the investor's requirement for their studio.
If the deal falls through, the investors will withdraw their funding, and the studio will most likely go bankrupt, which will naturally lead to them losing their jobs.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaofang and Yang Nan were very nervous, appearing to be a hundred or a thousand times more nervous than Jiang Ning.
Mo Yan waited with great interest to see the joke.
Miranda's thoughts were similar, except that she had a slightly higher expectation for Jiang Ning than Mo Yan.
Jiang Ning took the waste materials into the operating room, and when he came out, the sun was almost setting.
She discovered that Mo Yan had somehow taken up her seat and was yawning listlessly. For the first time, he had taken off the gold-rimmed glasses that usually sat on his high nose bridge. She didn't know if he was about to fall asleep or had just woken up.
"I'm done."
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's voice, Mo Yan fumbled for his glasses on his desk and put them on.
To be honest, he felt that Jiang Ning's performance was a bit too realistic.
Everyone knew that the emerald necklace, shattered to pieces, was beyond repair. He thought Jiang Ning was just putting on an act and would soon come out of the operating room, crying and begging Miranda to be lenient.
As a result, Jiang Ning stayed inside for a whole day.
Mo Yan never expected that he would waste a whole day in Jiang Ning's studio, even scrolling through his phone became boring.
Yang Nan and Zhang Xiaofang weren't as bored as Mo Yan; they were extremely nervous.
Now that Jiang Ning has finally stepped out of the control room, the tension in their hearts has reached its peak.
Miranda, sitting in the chair, glanced at Jiang Ning and curled her lips into a smile.
“I won’t approve of it just because it takes a long time to pretend to repair it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ning suddenly took her right hand.
Miranda frowned.
However, his brows quickly relaxed completely as Jiang Ning followed up with his next move.
Jiang Ning put a ring on Miranda's finger.
Miranda already had a ring on that hand.
One on each of the index and ring fingers.
On her index finger is a Bulgari serpent ring, made of rose gold and black enamel, with the serpent entirely set with diamonds; on her ring finger is a Van Cleef & Arpels four-leaf clover ring, made of gold and carnelian, fully set with diamonds.
Both of these rings are top-tier globally, both in terms of brand and design.
However, Miranda was immediately drawn to her middle finger.
Everyone was drawn to Miranda's middle finger.
Mo Yan stood up, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, wiped them, and put them back on.
On the middle finger of Miranda's right hand, she wore a butterfly ring.
The butterfly has a three-dimensional, fluttering wing shape, as if a real butterfly has quietly alighted on Miranda's finger.
The broken emerald fragments perfectly formed the natural texture and reflections on the butterfly wings. To enhance the luster of the synthetic gemstone, each tiny fragment was also covered with a mirror-like reflective foil.
Miranda was stunned.
She waved her right hand, the butterfly on her middle finger was colorful and dazzling, no less impressive than the two priceless luxury rings next to it.
This is just a synthetic gemstone; what if it were set with a real, natural emerald?
Miranda simply couldn't believe it.
"Breaking free from the cocoon and being reborn..."
She uttered those four words softly.
Beside them, Zhang Xiaofang and Yang Nan couldn't help but scream. Their boss's design skills and level were so amazing that they admired him to the point of prostration.
Mo Yan believed that Jiang Ning must have cheated.
But he didn't say it.
The reason he didn't say it aloud was that he himself knew in his heart that Jiang Ning hadn't cheated.
If someone were to cheat, Miranda would be the first to notice.
Jiang Ning stood silently in front of Miranda, without saying a word.
Because Miranda didn't say anything either.
She just kept waving her right hand, as if admiring or examining the ring she had remade from the broken synthetic emerald.
"Butterfly……"
It represents both rebirth and symbolizes the tenacious vitality that rises after being trampled upon.
Both its symbolism and craftsmanship are impeccable.
"It's just so-so!"
Jiang Ning was taken aback when he heard Miranda's assessment.
She felt she could at least get a "not bad" grade!
Miranda stood up without taking off the butterfly ring on her right middle finger.
"This kind of clichéd idea is hardly going to stand out at LD Jewelry Fashion Week..."
As she was about to leave Jiang Ning's studio, she turned back to Jiang Ning and said one last thing:
Good luck!
A smile immediately bloomed on Jiang Ning's face.
It seems she has retained her qualification.
Mo Yan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, feeling that things had gotten so far that there was no point in continuing.
He started walking, wanting to follow Miranda away.
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, Jiang Ning called him to a stop.
