Chapter 360 A Beautiful Comeback
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ning smiled faintly.
"The time is almost ripe..."
Two weeks later, the short drama series starring Hei Dongzai, which was airing at the time, came to its finale, and at the same time, another short drama series adapted from a novel written by Hei Dongzai was launched.
At this juncture, JN Studio launched their new jewelry collection in collaboration with Black Hole across the entire internet.
silver.
The silver series is further divided into two sub-series—
silver-G and silver-S.
Silver-G is a premium product made using Jiangning's unique patented curved seamless fully hidden inlay technology. It is priced between one thousand and three thousand yuan and is targeted at young office workers with a certain income.
The Silver-S, on the other hand, was designed by Gu Qian and other designers. It is priced between 100 and 500 yuan and is mainly targeted at high school and college students.
Additionally, several pieces of jewelry designed specifically for men are available in these two sub-collections.
Jiang Ning's analysis suggests that male readers make up a larger proportion of science fiction readers.
When Lin Wanrong saw the news online, she laughed so hard she almost fell over in her office.
"Seeing that I collaborated with a Hugo Award-winning master author, Jiang Ning found a writer to collaborate with... That's incredibly low."
Just when she thought that Jiangning's market share in the jewelry industry would be quickly taken away by Lin's Jewelry in the short term, her assistant suddenly told her a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.
Online, several prominent science fiction bloggers unanimously condemned Zhang Quanyong, comparing his Hugo Award-winning novel "The Big Bang" with the works of QD (a popular science fiction writer) Black Hole Boy, from outline and structure to writing style and word choice.
They all believe that "The Big Bang" plagiarized the core plots of several of Black Hole's books.
Originally, after this incident, Zhang Quanyong came out to deny the rumors with great conviction.
His denial actually fueled the controversy.
Another online source claims that Hei Dongzai was actually one of Zhang Quanyong's assistants. Before his pen name became popular, he signed a ghostwriting agreement with Zhang Quanyong because he urgently needed money. The agreement contained a trap, and even after his writing became popular, he dared not leave Zhang Quanyong for fear of being sued, so he could only continue to work as Zhang Quanyong's ghostwriter.
More and more negative news about Zhang Quanyong has surfaced, and Lin's Jewelry, which originally intended to use Zhang Quanyong's award to tarnish its own reputation, has also become the target of public criticism.
Some independent media outlets even captured images of Lin Wanrong and Zhang Quanyong entering and leaving a hotel arm in arm.
In an instant, the condemnation of Zhang Quanyong reached a new level.
As a result, Lin's Jewelry suffered a setback, with its new products completely unsold.
The high prices of those jewels were already prohibitive for ordinary people, but at the time, the award-winning pieces served as a fig leaf.
However, it has now been revealed that the award-winning work was ghostwritten by an assistant, and there is also an unspeakable shady deal between the author and the female CEO of the Lin family.
Their various misdeeds have put Zhang Quanyong and Lin Wanrong in the spotlight.
Lin's stock price continued to fall, hitting a new low.
Many newly opened stores were forced to close down.
At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Black Hole's popularity soared, directly bringing greater benefits to his works, and the number of views for his short dramas tripled in one go.
JN brand jewelry, which chose to collaborate with Black Hole, has become a hot fashion item among young people.
Jiang Ning, as a BYC master, already enjoyed a high reputation in the jewelry industry.
This time, the Silver-G is once again touting its seamless, fully hidden tiling technology.
Many ordinary office workers cannot afford the high-end jewelry designed and made by Jiang Ning himself, nor can they afford the "Piano" series.
But they can appreciate and possess the exquisite beauty brought by that patented technology through Silver-G.
Therefore, the Silver G series became a best-selling product as soon as it was launched.
Although silver is the cheapest of all precious metals, it is highly compatible with science fiction styles, and with good craftsmanship, it can present a high-end feel that is no less than that of haute couture jewelry.
Silver-S is both stylish and inexpensive, making it very popular among students, especially university students.
JN Jewelry's resounding success directly boosted the stock price of the Lu Group.
Because shareholders know that both JN Jewelry and the Lu family are backed by Jiangning.
It was evening.
Gu Qian and Jiang Ning walked out of the company building one after the other.
Gu Qian couldn't stop smiling.
"Boss, you're really something! You pulled off this comeback brilliantly."
After Gu Qian slapped her arm, Jiang Ning couldn't help but complain, "I know you're excited right now, but I'm a woman after all. Can you be a little gentler?"
Realizing he had used too much force, Gu Qian quickly apologized.
"I'm so sorry, boss, I didn't mean it. How about this, let's have dinner together tonight, it's on me. You can choose the most expensive restaurant, I definitely won't mind."
"Tonight won't work, I have plans to meet someone tonight."
Seeing Jiang Ning's mysterious demeanor, Gu Qian couldn't help but tease, "Did you make an appointment with Lu Junyan? Or with Bai Yichen?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ning turned his head and saw two people walking towards him from the left and right.
The person walking from the left is Lu Junyan.
The person walking from the right is Bai Yichen.
Gu Qian immediately patted his mouth and muttered softly, "What, is my mouth blessed?"
Jiang Ning never expected that Lu Junyan and Bai Yichen would both come to her company building to wait for her.
As they approached Jiang Ning, Lu Junyan and Bai Yichen glanced at each other simultaneously.
Gu Qian immediately smelled the pungent smell of gunpowder in the air.
"Boss, I'm leaving now. See you at the office tomorrow."
After saying that, Gu Qian quickly ran away from the trouble.
To Jiang Ning, Lu Junyan and Bai Yichen in front of him were like two walls.
She was about to speak when Bai Yichen spoke first.
"Ah Ning, come have dinner with me tonight! Your new product has been a huge success, and Lanlan and I want to celebrate for you."
When Bai Yichen mentioned Gu Lanlan, Jiang Ning felt it was inappropriate to refuse.
After all, if Gu Lanlan were to come along, the meal would simply be a celebration between friends.
"sure!"
As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, Bai Yichen curled up the corners of his lips and glanced at Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan didn't look at Bai Yichen; his eyes were only on Jiang Ning.
"But not tonight, I have plans tonight."
Disappointment immediately appeared on Bai Yichen's face.
Who did you make an appointment with?
Lu Junyan's deep voice rang out.
Jiang Ning smiled.
She saw displeasure and impatience in Lu Junyan's eyes.
So, she deliberately replied with:
I won't tell you.
At that moment, the sound of a car horn rang out.
Lu Junyan and Bai Yichen turned around together, and a yellow Lamborghini from Orion came into view.
Bai Yichen might not be familiar with this car.
But Lu Junyan is very familiar with it.
The car stopped in front of Jiang Ning, and the person inside greeted Lu Junyan as soon as they got out of the car.
"Brother Lu, what are you doing here?"
Yuan Pei couldn't stop smiling.
