"What's so surprising? She's just a jewelry seller after all." Aunt Fang said this, but there was still a hint of arrogance on her face.
Clearly, she was also proud to work at MS, but what did that have to do with her? Xu Xinchen couldn't help but wonder, "Then Aunt Fang, why did you come here today...?"
Aunt Fang patted the batch of design drawings: "When Ning Sheng gave me these drawings, I was amazed. I kept wondering what the designer was like. In my imagination, the person who could design these drawings must be a very skillful person."
Xu Xinchen blushed slightly after being praised by Aunt Fang: "Then, Aunt Fang, do you know if I've disappointed you like this?"
Aunt Fang smiled and said, "You didn't disappoint me. On the contrary, your image does match this batch of designs in my opinion."
Aunt Fang is a person who has been through a lot in society and has experienced so much turmoil. She has a good eye for people. As soon as she saw Xu Xinchen, she knew that this girl was the kind of person who didn't have any bad intentions. On the contrary, she was very kind.
This positive first impression significantly improved my opinion of Xu Xinchen, especially since she is someone who is extremely passionate about jewelry design.
Xu Xinchen's designs were exactly to her liking, and combined with the other factors, Xu Xinchen now had an extremely positive impression of her.
"I won't beat around the bush with you." Aunt Fang picked up the batch of drawings, gently pointed to one of them, and asked Xu Xinchen, "Can you tell me about your design concept?"
Xu Xinchen turned her head and glanced at the design paper that Aunt Fang had picked up. The design was based on the weather changes at night. There was a full moon on top and a small boat-shaped dark cloud below.
“This one is…” Xu Xinchen glanced at it and recalled the reason why he designed this drawing in the first place. He quickly explained his design concept.
Aunt Fang listened and nodded repeatedly, her smile growing wider and wider. After Xu Xinchen finished speaking, she asked again, "So, do you think the design on this paper is positioned as high-end, mid-range, or even low-end?"
“Of course, it’s in the high-end category,” Xu Xinchen said without hesitation. “The reason jewelry is so precious and popular is because it can give people a unique charm. If it’s positioned in the mid-to-low-end category, then the materials used will definitely be mid-to-low-end…”
Xu Xinchen explained her thoughts to Aunt Fang in detail. The more Aunt Fang listened, the brighter her eyes became. When Xu Xinchen finished speaking, she couldn't help but applaud.
"Well said, very well said. I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of the jewelry industry. You are truly a promising talent."
Aunt Fang's tone sounded quite audacious. Originally, she thought that Xu Xinchen had designed this batch of pictures simply because she had seen a necklace somewhere and that's how these ideas came about.
To her surprise, Xu Xinchen really understood jewelry, and could explain all the intricacies of it clearly. She hadn't seen such a promising talent in a long time.
She had originally planned to consider Chen Ningsheng's suggestion further, but now she has made up her mind and can make a decision on the spot without further consideration.
Xu Xinchen originally felt that he had been showing off his limited skills by talking so much nonsense in front of a real design master.
To her surprise, after she finished speaking, the expert not only didn't laugh at her, but praised her for speaking well, which made her feel extremely shy.
"No, no, Aunt Fang, you flatter me. It's really my fault for showing off my little skills to experts like you."
Aunt Fang's smile deepened after hearing Xu Xinchen's words. It was rare to find such a promising talent, not only in jewelry design but also in such humility.
It's rare to find someone who doesn't boast or become arrogant just because they have a little more talent than the average person.
The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. Aunt Fang couldn't help but take Xu Xinchen's hand: "Your name is Min Shi, right? Would you like to consider coming with me to learn jewelry design?"
Xu Xinchen was stunned, her eyes widened suddenly, and her face was filled with disbelief: "Aunt Fang, are you joking with me?"
"Of course not, why would I joke like that with you for no reason?" Aunt Fang patted Xu Xinchen's hand, both amused and exasperated. "You have a great talent for design, and your design philosophy is very compatible with mine. I think you're a good person, so I'd like to take you on as my apprentice. Would you like to?"
"Yes, yes! Of course I'm willing!" Xu Xinchen nodded frantically. She had always loved drawing these kinds of things, although...
I drew these things before simply because I wanted to exchange them for money.
But she does genuinely like some of these things, otherwise she wouldn't have drawn them so well. Now, a top-notch designer has taken a liking to her work and wants to take her on as an apprentice, so of course she's willing.
However, considering that she still had a job, if she really wanted to learn with Aunt Fang, she would have to put her job aside.
For a moment, she hesitated again, stopped nodding frantically, and looked at Aunt Fang with a nervous expression.
Aunt Fang noticed the hesitation on her face and couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong? Weren't you just happy? Why are you frowning all of a sudden?"
Xu Xinchen hesitated before saying, "Of course I'd love to learn from you, but I still have a job. Even if I quit right now, I'd have to wait a while before I can leave..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but Aunt Fang could tell what she was worried about. Such an honest child is truly rare.
Aunt Fang smiled and patted the back of her hand: "So it's about work. Don't worry about that. Ning Sheng has already mentioned it to me. I can give you some time to go back and resign and hand over your work. Come back to me after you've finished. We're not in a hurry."
"And..." Aunt Fang seemed to remember something halfway through her sentence and couldn't help but laugh, but her laughter left Xu Xinchen completely confused.
"Aunt Fang, and what else?"
