Chapter 71 Unspeakable
She knew there was a reason why Lu Junyan was here today.
"So you deliberately scared away my investors..."
Facing Jiang Ning's wide-eyed questioning, Lu Junyan calmly ate his steak and said, "Am I that scary-looking? Besides, he just doesn't want to eat with you, he didn't say he was going to withdraw his investment."
Jiang Ning pursed her lips.
"I must open a studio."
"Grandpa supports you in pursuing your own career, so I won't stop you."
Lu Junyan's words relieved Jiang Ning.
"However, Qingxue is also opening her own jewelry design studio, so you will become competitors."
Lu Junyan had finished his meal and stood up.
Looking down at Jiang Ning, his gaze was arrogant.
"I'm doing this for your own good. You have no chance against Qingxue. But if you don't appreciate it, then so be it."
After saying this casually, Lu Junyan left the Western restaurant.
Jiang Ning was the only one left in the seat.
I have some free time.
Jiang Ning picked up the knife and fork, then put them down again.
She was clearly not full, but had no appetite.
Chu Qingxue also opened a jewelry design studio, becoming her competitor, but she wasn't afraid.
She and Chu Qingxue had worked together for a considerable period of time.
Chu Qingxue has some talent and ability in design, but her design concepts and style are not the type she likes.
She didn't think she would lose either.
Jiang Ning was unhappy because she thought that by opening her own studio, she would no longer have any contact with Chu Qingxue.
However……
With a sigh, Jiang Ning didn't want to waste the food, so she packed up the rest. When she went to pay the bill, the waiter told her that her table had already paid, and that the gentleman who had been dining with her had paid for it.
Jiang Ning realized it was Lu Junyan.
Could this be considered a form of thoughtfulness from Lu Junyan towards her?
Jiang Ning tapped his head and thought that he would be better off posting job advertisements than wasting time on such wild thoughts.
In the end, she chose the Zhongqing Building, which Li Mingyu recommended to her, as her office location, and also posted her information on various recruitment websites.
Sitting in his newly renovated office with all the windows open for ventilation, Jiang Ning felt a strange sense of pride.
When she married Lu Junyan, all she wanted was to be a good wife and mother, manage the household, and be a competent full-time housewife and Lu Junyan's virtuous helper.
Jiang Ning stood up and went to the window, taking a deep breath.
The beautiful scenery of the industrial park is spread out before your eyes.
Now, she has her own career.
Thinking about his career, Jiang Ning took out his phone.
Now is not the time for her to be carefree.
She's an experienced jewelry designer, but a complete novice when it comes to being a boss. She wants to call Pete to learn from his experience.
Before she could even dial the number, Pete called first.
Purple Aura Manor.
This is a residential area of detached villas in the style of a Chinese garden.
Pete drove the car into the underground parking lot.
Jiang Ning sat in the passenger seat.
Pitt was better informed than she thought; he knew she had started her own jewelry design studio before she even spoke up.
Jiang Ning found it somewhat difficult to tell Pete about going it alone.
Because she also holds the identity of BYC, and after establishing her own studio, she is in competition with FY.
However, Pitt is very supportive of her going solo and said he would provide her with resources.
The premise is that she continues to release new models in the piano series.
After parking the car, Pete led Jiang Ning to the ground.
This is the home of jewelry collector Luo Zhongshi.
Jewelry designers who open their own studios often find it difficult to compete with established brands for market share due to issues such as funding and scale.
Therefore, most of them will take the high-end route that focuses on design concepts and specializes in the collector's market.
Jiang Ning thought so too.
First, establish your reputation in the field of high-end collectibles before considering the next step.
Pete agreed with Jiang Ning's plan, and bringing Jiang Ning to meet Luo Zhongshi this time was to pave the way for Jiang Ning.
As the two walked, Luo Zhongshi's impressive villa came into view.
However, Jiang Ning stopped.
Pete also stopped, and the two silently gazed at the entrance of Luo Zhongshi's villa.
There were two people standing there.
Pete glanced at his watch.
"We arrived half an hour early, but we didn't expect that he had made an appointment with someone else before us."
The villa door opened, and Luo Zhongshi, dressed in a Tang suit, walked out.
"Mr. Lu, is this the up-and-coming designer you recommended to me?"
Luo Zhongshi looked at Chu Qingxue beside Lu Junyan.
Today, Chu Qingxue wore a conservative and elegant, slightly mature pink-gray business suit, with light makeup, an outfit that would appeal to older people.
"Hello Mr. Luo, my name is Chu Qingxue."
Chu Qingxue took the initiative to extend her hand and shake hands with the other person.
Not far away, Jiang Ning watched this scene and knew that Lu Junyan, like Pete, wanted to use this collector as a stepping stone.
The only difference is that Pete's ally is her, while Lu Junyan's ally is Chu Qingxue.
Just as Luo Zhongshi was about to let Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue in, he happened to catch a glimpse of Pete and Jiang Ning out of the corner of his eye.
"Mr. Pi, what brings you here so early?"
Seeing that they were being seen, Pete simply led Jiang Ning over.
Suddenly, there were four people at the villa entrance, making it seem crowded.
"Mr. Lu, what a coincidence." Pete took the initiative to greet Lu Junyan.
"Hmm." Lu Junyan replied indifferently, his gaze falling on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning is wearing an asymmetrical chiffon blouse today, paired with a stylish and sophisticated bow tie and black wide-leg pants. It has a formal feel, but more importantly, it exudes a designer vibe.
Lu Junyan raised an eyebrow.
As far as I can remember, Jiang Ning rarely dressed like this before.
"Is this the girlfriend you mentioned on the phone?"
Luo Zhongshi looked at Jiang Ning and asked.
The air fell silent as soon as he said that.
Pete was the first to smile and casually replied:
"yes!"
Since Pete has said so, Jiang Ning can't deny it.
She thought that Pete's way of introducing himself to Luo Zhongshi was probably to pave the way for her.
Subconsciously, she stole a glance at Lu Junyan.
She wanted to see how Lu Junyan would react.
Lu Junyan did not react.
It was as if they hadn't heard what Luo Zhongshi and Pete were saying.
It was as if it had nothing to do with who her girlfriend was.
Jiang Ning's heart sank.
He also felt that this was in line with Lu Junyan's style of doing things.
Beside her, Chu Qingxue pinched the hem of her skirt.
Pete said Jiang Ning is his girlfriend, and she has nothing to mind.
However, even Pete can say that Jiang Ning is his girlfriend, but when Lu Junyan introduces her, he only says that she is his high school classmate and a promising new designer that he values highly.
The atmosphere among the four people in front of him was somewhat subtle. Luo Zhongshi noticed something amiss and asked Lu Junyan, "What's wrong? Does President Lu, like President Pi, also come here to recommend his girlfriend?"
Lu Junyan smiled gently.
They neither said yes nor no.
Seeing Chu Qingxue lower her head shyly, Jiang Ning took the initiative to hold Lu Junyan's hand.
