Chapter 6 Relegated to Delivery Delivery
Chu Qingxue originally wanted to wait for Lu Junyan to arrive so that she could openly use the VIP passage. Although Lu Junyan did not have an invitation, his identity and face were her pass.
However, the banquet was about to begin, and Lu Junyan had not yet arrived, so she had no choice but to take Wang Yang and Song Lili through the staff entrance.
After entering the venue, she turned around and looked around, but couldn't find Jiang Ning anywhere.
"That Jiang Ning is definitely here to deliver food; the invitation is definitely not hers."
"Exactly, she didn't even graduate from university, how could they possibly invite her to the FY victory celebration party?"
Song Lili and Wang Yang chatted back and forth.
Chu Qingxue felt a little relieved. Her best friend was right. FY is one of the world's top luxury brands. The celebration banquet was held because the "Piano" series of jewelry launched four years ago used industry-leading patented technology, coupled with unique creativity and artistry, which made it an instant leader in high-end jewelry. It not only enjoys a high reputation in the industry, but also performs outstandingly among consumers, winning the sales champion title for four consecutive years.
"I wonder if I'll be able to meet that piano series design master here tonight..." Chu Qingxue blinked her big, watery eyes, which were full of longing and admiration.
"I heard that the master is very mysterious, and no one even knows whether he is a man or a woman."
"Qingxue, you're an employee of FY now, don't you know that?"
Faced with her best friend's curiosity, Chu Qingxue shook her head regretfully, "I only know that the master's signature is BYC, and as for the rest, not even my boss knows!"
In a private room on the second floor, Jiang Ning met Pete.
Pete is one of the founders of FY and is also the current executive director of FY.
"It's been three years since I last saw you, and you've become even more beautiful."
Pete handed a cup of coffee to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning knew that Pete was just being polite.
Married for three years, spending all her time surrounded by pots and pans, with no self and no time to dress up, such a woman will not become more beautiful; she will only have her radiance and charm worn away by the years.
Most importantly, her husband didn't love her.
A married woman without the nourishment of love is left with nothing but a mess.
Jiang Ning's situation was even worse.
She worked tirelessly as a housewife for three years, only to have her husband cheat on her with another woman, causing the death of her unborn child.
The thought of her child made Jiang Ning's knuckles turn white as she gripped the coffee cup.
"So, my dream master BYC, how about it? Are you interested in coming back to work for FY?"
Pete's voice distracted her. Jiang Ning looked up at Pete and saw that the expectation in Pete's eyes was exactly the same as it had been four years ago.
This time, however, the word "回" was used.
Jiang Ning has never actually worked at FY.
She met Pete when she was a freshman in college. By chance, Pete went to A University to look for talented new designers. As a result, Jiang Ning was sitting alone on the university campus, quietly drawing jewelry inspired by the piano.
Jiang Ning's design concept impressed Pete, and in order to turn the concept into jewelry, Jiang Ning developed new gemstone cutting and setting techniques.
At that time, Pitt invited her to work at FY, and she could work part-time so as not to interfere with her studies.
But Jiang Ning refused.
She had no passion for the jewelry industry and didn't want to be famous, so she adopted the stage name BYC and participated in the sales profit sharing of the "Piano" series.
Unexpectedly, this series became an instant hit, and Jiang Ning, under the stage name, transformed into a mysterious design master in the jewelry industry.
Judging from Jiang Ning's expression, it wasn't hard for Pete to guess that Jiang Ning's marriage was not happy, otherwise Jiang Ning wouldn't have agreed to let him attend the celebration banquet today.
"Master, please give me a chance."
Jiang Ning was amused by Pete. "You're exaggerating. The design of the piano series was just a flash of inspiration. You know, I don't actually like jewelry design."
"You're such a waste of talent! Do you know how many designers at FY dream of having even a fraction of your talent?!"
Jiang Ning smiled without saying a word.
"Anyway, you can come whenever you want. I've already prepared the contract. Fill in your salary however you like, and the bonuses will remain the same. FY's doors are always open to you." After Pete finished speaking, he noticed that Jiang Ning was turning his head to look out the glass window.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the private rooms on the second floor offer a view of the meeting room on the first floor.
Lu Junyan's late arrival at the venue caused quite a stir.
There are many business tycoons besides Lu Junyan, but it's rare to find someone who looks like him.
Today, Lu Junyan wore a sharp white suit and a black shirt. The striking contrast of the cool colors perfectly matched his noble and aloof aura. He deliberately didn't wear a tie, which added a touch of romance to his naturally ascetic style. Although his features were sharp and angular, his naturally smiling lips were alluring in an subtle way.
His appearance in the venue immediately drew gasps of admiration from countless women.
Chu Qingxue deliberately stood still, waiting for Lu Junyan to walk towards her, like a princess waiting for her prince charming.
Countless envious and jealous glances were cast at her, and she became the focus of the banquet.
Chu Qingxue's smile was one of pride.
Although she was just an intern at FY, she was always the center of attention in this kind of setting.
Jiang Ning was surprised that Lu Junyan would also come.
She watched silently as Lu Junyan walked straight to Chu Qingxue's side without glancing at him.
In her memory, during their three years of marriage, Lu Junyan had never taken the initiative to get close to any woman.
Jiang Ning once naively thought it was because Lu Junyan loved her, and that she was special.
Now she understood that Chu Qingxue was the one who was special.
The two of them standing there looked like a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
Jiang Ning suddenly felt superfluous.
The last time she had a bad talk with Lu Junyan at home, Lu Junyan tore up the divorce agreement. Even if they couldn't get a divorce, she would still be Lu Junyan's wife. But the excitement and well-matched couple below had nothing to do with her.
"You're not leaving so soon after you arrived, are you?" Pete asked cautiously.
He had his own agenda and was still determined to recruit Jiang Ning into FY.
However, the scene in the meeting room downstairs was too jarring for Jiang Ning to bear. If Jiang Ning wanted to leave early, he would not and had no reason to stop him.
Jiang Ning stared intently at Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue, who were chatting and laughing. After a long silence, she finally looked at Pete.
"If I asked you for a gift right now, could you give it to me?"
In the first-floor venue, Lu Junyan presented Chu Qingxue with a large bouquet of beautifully packaged pink roses, and Chu Qingxue smiled sweetly and shyly.
Beside them, Song Lili and Wang Yang were practically going crazy with envy, praising Lu Junyan to the skies.
"With a boyfriend as handsome, rich, and outstanding as President Lu, Qingxue, you must have saved the galaxy in your past life."
"The key is that President Lu really dotes on Qingxue. He even rescheduled an important meeting so that he could spend time with her."
"More than that, the latest Elie Saab haute couture dress that Qingxue is wearing costs $100,000, and it was a gift from President Lu."
Chu Qingxue, holding Lu Junyan's hand, listened to her best friend's praise and smiled radiantly.
"By the way, Junyan, I just saw Miss Jiang..."
Lu Junyan raised an eyebrow slightly, naturally knowing which "Miss Jiang" Chu Qingxue was referring to.
"Her clothes weren't very appropriate; she's probably here to deliver food..."
Seeing Lu Junyan remain silent, Chu Qingxue continued, "She is still your wife in name only. It's really pitiful that she's reduced to delivering takeout..."
“She brought it on herself,” Lu Junyan said coldly.
What kind of good job can a woman with no education or diploma who has been a housewife for several years find?
Delivering takeout was something he had expected.
At this moment, another commotion broke out in the meeting room.
"Hey, who's that gorgeous woman next to Director Pete? Do you guys know her?"
