Chapter 454: The Old Lady with a Strong Old Smell
"Grandma Xu, please stop bothering me. There's nothing to see over there. Don't be fooled by the large number of people. They were all paid to create hype." Wei Zhuer grabbed Xu An's arm again.
Xu An was already afraid that the little girl would pull him, afraid that his arm would be dislocated, so he quickly moved away. He just wanted to scare the father and daughter, not really intend to go.
Seeing Xu An sit down again, Wei Changjiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and unconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Teacher Xu, Zhu'er has designed several pieces. They've passed the design department's review and are ready for release. They're right here. Would you like to take a look?"
"Okay." Xu An walked over to the jewelry display case, but was very disappointed. Wei Zhuer had no talent in jewelry design and her style was a mess.
Wei Zhuer herself was very proud. "Teacher Xu, looking at all the jewelry products on the market, I've never seen a dark style like mine. Do you think I'm very unique and have an alternative talent?"
Xu An sneered silently. Just piling up black gems and adding a few skulls is the dark style? His knowledge is too superficial.
"It's indeed rare." Xu An didn't want to explain too much, for fear that if he said too much, the father and daughter would learn something new.
Wei Changjiang took the opportunity to speak: "Teacher Xu, haven't you been looking for a successor in recent years? Do you like Zhu'er's style? If you choose her as your successor, she will definitely be able to carry forward your jewelry design style. Moreover, Wei's Jewelry will back her up."
"This isn't something I can decide on my own. Let's not talk about it now, lest someone hears and thinks I'm giving you two a backdoor."
"How can you call it a backdoor? Grandma Xu, you're the designer of Wei's Jewelry. If you just choose me as your successor, others will just take it for granted. Anyone who objects would have ulterior motives."
"These are two different things and cannot be confused. You are still young and don't understand. You should ask your father for advice. Oh, I can't do this when I am old. I am thirsty. I won't read anymore. I need to sit down and rest."
Xu An returned to the sofa and sat down, leaning against the back of the sofa and closing his eyes to take a nap.
Wei Changjiang is such a shrewd person, how could he not see that Xu An did not consider Zhu'er as her successor.
Zhu'er's designs are actually very niche, and if they are put on the market, the sales are not optimistic, but he only has this one daughter, and she must be responsible for inheriting Wei's jewelry in the future.
"Teacher Xu." Wei Changjiang's face fell. "We have known each other for many years. Back then, you fainted on the expressway and passed out. I passed by and took you to the hospital. You took a different view of my design. After that, we worked together sincerely for many years. I have long regarded you as family, and so has Zhu'er. My wife and I only have one child, Zhu'er. In the future, this huge group will be inherited by Zhu'er, but she doesn't seem to be very capable. Teacher Xu, can you help me train her personally? Take her as your apprentice, but don't announce it to the public. That way you can continue to look for the real successor."
"Chang Jiang, you're abusing the elderly. I'm already so old, how can I teach a young person? If you really want your daughter to inherit the group, change your approach and teach her how to run the company."
“Running a company is never that easy.”
Wei Changjiang had watched the jewelry group's rise steadily, and he knew full well that the secret to its success lay in Xu An's fame. As long as Zhu'er became Xu An's apprentice, fame would naturally follow, and she would become the group's trump card, with plenty of professionals to help her run the company.
Seeing that Wei Changjiang was still plotting against him, Xu An raised his butt again, "There are really too many people over there, I'm so curious, Changjiang, why don't you help me go take a look?"
Wei Changjiang panicked and quickly supported Xu An, "There are too many people over there, and the air is chaotic, so it's better not to go there."
At this time, the president of the Jewelry Design Society and others came out of the SUMING exhibition hall and came to Wei's side.
The president came over with a large group of people and said, "Master Xu, could you please lift up your left hand so I can see the jewelry you are wearing on it?"
Hearing this, Wei Changjiang subconsciously looked at Xu An's left hand. When he saw it, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Xu An casually raised her left hand, letting everyone see the black diamond ring on her hand.
The president smiled. "I was right. Master, you bought the black diamond ring on your hand from SUMING, right? Master, you've known this brand for a long time."
"No. My family bought this for me when they went shopping. I thought it looked great, so I put it on. Turns out this ring is from a brand next door. What a coincidence." Xu An was stunned. Even when she said this, no one could tell she was lying. No one thought a master like her would lie over such a small matter.
Wei Changjiang's heart was in turmoil, and he looked at Xu An anxiously.
The president continued to tell Xu An, "This brand has recently moved to Jinghai. Their products are very elegant and stylish. Master, you should go and take a look."
"Let's do it another day. There are too many people there. Chang Jiang told me not to go because the atmosphere is mixed." Xu An picked up Wei Changjiang's coaxing words to fool the president.
The president looked at Wei Changjiang's heart and secretly mocked him for being narrow-minded.
"Master, the brand next door is cooperating with the Fuhuang Group. They have a strong background. I think their future development will be towards the high-end and luxury level."
Wei Changjiang's face looked very ugly. Isn't this similar to Wei's?
"Not bad, not bad." Xu An did not comment much, which made people feel that she was not interested in this new jewelry brand that had just settled in Jinghai.
Xu An said to the president, "Take me to your office to rest for a while. I will meet with the major brands during the conference."
"Okay." The president of the Jewelry Association and his wife accompanied Xu An away.
Wei Zhuer was very angry. "Dad, what's this? Hasn't she seen my jewelry? Why doesn't she accept me as her apprentice? Is she too old and out of date? What jewelry master? I think she is just an old woman with a strong sense of old age."
