Chapter 71 Home? My heart was gently stirred.



Chapter 71 Home? My heart was gently stirred.

Pei Jinwu dawdled.

Finally, the jewelry design was completed within sixty minutes.

On a piece of white draft paper of extremely poor quality, there were several pencil drawings of jewelry designs.

The light and simple sketch, without any color embellishment, has smooth lines, exquisite conception, and is breathtakingly beautiful.

call.

Pei Jinwu put down his pen, rubbed his wrist, crumpled the draft paper into a ball, and casually tossed it into his pocket.

These jewelry pieces are quite nice; I estimate their sales should reach several hundred million.

Not bad, enough to keep the base from losing for a while.

"Sister Wu, let's go."

Xu Qingye raised his chin and said with a grin.

"Um."

Pei Jinwu arranged the answer sheets, chatted with Xu Qingye and Zhao Qianqian, and then left.

"Sister Wu, you're amazing! You guessed so many key points in advance..."

Xu Qingye's voice was quite loud, and Qin Jiao, who was not far away, could hear it.

Did you guess the key point?

As Qin Jiao walked out, she deliberately glanced at Pei Jinwu's exam paper.

His eyes widened instantly?

The answer sheet, including the last two particularly difficult questions, was completely filled out.

How can someone who never attended high school (grades 11 and 12) solve these problems?

Don't make it too funny.

She remembered that during the exam, Zhao Qianqian's test paper accidentally fell to the ground, and Pei Jinwu picked it up for her.

Could it be...?

Did Zhao Qianqian stage this whole thing so that she could copy the answers?

Tsk tsk.

Cheating by copying answers, and even daring to copy the entire exam paper?

That's amazing!

Huagao's tradition is to grade exams on the same day they are administered.

Teachers hate cheating the most, and they'd probably be furious if they saw Pei Jinwu's test paper.

She'll definitely be expelled from school immediately, right?

The more Qin Jiao thought about it, the happier she became.

——

The exam is over.

Pei Jinwu didn't go straight back to Yunshangzhi, but went to J.Five Studio instead.

The director called to say that the jewelry he designed for Madam Shang was finished and needed her final confirmation.

"boss."

Upon seeing her appear, the other designers stood up and greeted her respectfully.

"Where's the jewelry?"

Pei Jinwu, dressed in a school uniform, held a thermos in her left hand and had a candy in her mouth. Her youthful face stood out among the group of older designers.

Yet his aura was so powerful that it intimidated those around him, who dared not look him in the eye.

"The jewelry is in the safe."

When the supervisor saw the backpack and cup in Pei Jinwu's hands, he sensibly reached out and respectfully said, "Boss, let me carry them for you."

"Need not."

Pei Jinwu stepped aside, avoiding the director's hand, opened her backpack, and put the thermos inside.

"?"

The director's hand froze in mid-air, somewhat bewildered.

He didn't see wrong, did he?

The boss is the kind of person who can casually throw away diamonds worth hundreds of millions, so why is he so treasuring a cup?

There's more.

When did his boss start drinking warm water?

——

Inside the safe room.

Wearing gloves and glasses, Pei Jinwu sat in front of the light, making final adjustments to her jewelry.

"..."

The director stood behind him, bending over, not daring to breathe.

The boss told me that this order is very important.

Therefore, from production to completion, we hired top-notch craftsmen to oversee the entire process, fearing any mistakes.

Surprisingly, the boss was able to spot problems even in the smallest details.

If I remember correctly, this order was placed by Shang Shiyan, the president of the Shang Group.

Didn't the boss have a grudge against him before?

She took this order too seriously.

There are no problems.

Pei Jinwu removed her gloves and glasses, looked around, and finally her gaze fell on a magnificent emerald necklace.

We've invited her to the birthday banquet for the "suburban old lady" next week.

We can't go empty-handed.

"Let's package this necklace nicely; it's a gift," Pei Jinwu said casually.

To give away?

The director was quite shocked when he looked at the price.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand...

So many zeros.

Such a valuable item, the boss just gave it away so casually?

"Boss, it's all packaged."

The supervisor didn't dare to interfere, after all, he was just an employee.

"actually……"

He picked up his bag, glanced at the staff working overtime, and said calmly, "You don't have to work so hard."

She doesn't like employees working overtime, perhaps because she pays too much?

The employees were so enthusiastic that they accused her, the boss, of being unprofessional!

It's frustrating.

"Thank you for your concern, boss, we're not tired."

The employees stared at her with smiles, their faces clearly saying: "I'm here to work for you!"

"Forehead."

Pei Jinwu was speechless. After a few seconds, she said helplessly, "Give them some desserts. This month's salary... will increase by fifty percent."

"Okay, boss."

The director's face broke into a bright smile, and his voice became loud and clear.

Pei Jinwu looked away and was walking out when her phone suddenly rang.

Caller: Shang Shiyan.

"Hello."

Pei Jinwu paused for two seconds before answering the phone.

She usually turns off her phone during work hours.

If you forget that someone lives with you and you're not going back, you need to inform them in advance.

"Wuwu hasn't come home yet. Is something holding her up?"

Shang Shiyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his tall figure shrouded in a thin layer of mist, his handsome face full of worry, and his tone was frighteningly gentle.

School ends at 5:30, and it's 8:00 now...

When he got home and didn't see anyone, and their phone was off, Shang Shiyan was so anxious that he didn't even have time to change his clothes.

Just as they were about to check her whereabouts, the phone rang.

"Something came up and I was delayed."

Pei Jinwu quickened her pace slightly, her voice unconsciously sounding a little timid.

after all--

Normally, no one would call to ask if she was coming home.

"It's alright." Shang Shiyan's tense nerves gradually relaxed, his tone gentle and doting. "Shall we go home now?"

Home?

Hearing this word, Pei Jinwu's heart was gently stirred.

"Yes."

Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, her tone unconsciously softening.

When I get home, there's delicious food made by Aunt Wang, and lots of snacks too...

She quite likes coming back to this house.

"Send me the address, I'll come pick you up." Shang Shiyan said, picking up his car keys and walking out, softly instructing, "It's raining a bit, find a place to wait in the rain, okay?"

"good."

Pei Jinwu ended the call and obediently sent the address to Shang Shiyan.

Turning around, I was caught off guard by the designers' puzzled gazes.

Pei Jinwu: "?"

Staff members: "??"

"What's up?"

Pei Jinwu's expression returned to indifference, and her tone became somewhat indifferent.

"..."

Everyone sat down in unison, heads bowed, not daring to speak.

"..."

Pei Jinwu withdrew her gaze, put on her hat, and walked outside.

No sooner had she left than the designers in the studio stood up and gathered around to watch the drama unfold.

"Who did the boss answer the phone? He looked so nervous."

"Yeah, yeah, I was a little timid when I first met the boss, it seemed like..." The female designer paused for a few seconds, then said slowly, "My girlfriend was cheating on me and got caught by her boyfriend."

"I thought the boss would only say 'get lost,' but when he said 'okay,' he was actually quite cute and adorable."

good?

Cute?

Upon hearing those two words, the other designers looked at him with shocked expressions.

Are you a new employee?

I'll share my thoughts after some time has passed.
