The next second she changed the subject, "Of course these are just my personal, unprofessional and superficial opinions.
Please just listen to it casually, sir. If there is anything inappropriate in what I say, please don’t take it too seriously.”
The man smiled, and the upturned corners of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood.
He said happily: "I think you understand it very well and express it very well. This necklace has been on display here for four days.
I have been observing this work from a distance for four days. Everyone who has seen it has described it as a sunset under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Today I finally encountered a different perspective. Only you have seen the other side of this work.
I am very happy to have met someone who can truly understand the intention of my work and express the design concept of the work perfectly."
Yan Ning was a little surprised. Just when he was about to speak, he saw that the man in front of him was dressed in a way that might mean he didn't want to be recognized.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Are you Master Bernard, the designer of this piece?"
Bernard smiled and said, "Yes, this is the work I am most satisfied with so far.
I'm so happy that someone finally saw the true meaning of this work today. I wonder what this beautiful lady's name is?"
Yan Ning smiled slightly. "My name is Yan Ning. This is my Chinese name. I am from China."
Bernard was a little surprised. He looked at the girl in front of him who was elegantly dressed and behaved gracefully and appropriately. It completely broke his traditional impression of Chinese people.
Bernard asked again: "Yan, are you also a jewelry designer?"
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Not yet, but I plan to set up my own jewelry brand and I'm currently learning about design."
Bernard was even more surprised that a beginner could observe the true artistic conception of his work. It seemed that this girl had great talent in art.
After being surprised, he said seriously: "Yan, you must study design seriously.
I believe you will become an excellent designer in the future, and I look forward to seeing your work soon."
Yan Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words. I will definitely work hard."
Bernard looked around and realized it was getting late, so he should leave.
He extended his hand to Yan Ning and said, "Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you today. I hope I'll have the opportunity to see your work at jewelry exhibitions and design competitions in Paris in the future."
Yan Ning extended his hand and shook his, "I'm glad to meet you, too. I hope we'll have the chance to meet again in the future."
Bernard left the exhibition hall in a low-key manner.
Apart from Yan Ning, no one at the scene would know that the famous Master Bernard had appeared in the exhibition hall these days.
Yan Ning glanced around the exhibition hall and saw Huo Jieyan and her female assistant at the pearl display case.
Coincidentally, Yan Ning walked towards Huo Jieyan.
"Aunt, do you want to buy pearls?"
Huo Jieyan nodded and pointed at the South Sea gold beads in the display case and said:
"I want to buy some South Sea pearls. These large gold pearls are too expensive, but smaller ones or light gold and rose red ones are also fine.
It’s also good to buy some smaller Ocaya, Melo, and Conch pearls to set in jewelry.”
Yan Ning thought about it. She wanted to participate in the jewelry design competition in Paris in November, so she needed enough gemstone materials.
The gemstones in her space are all raw stones, and it is too late to send them to the 21st century for cutting.
Might as well take this opportunity to buy some at the exhibition.
Yan Ning looked at Huo Jieyan and said, "Aunt, could you lend me some francs? I also want to buy some gem materials."
Huo Jieyan turned her head and looked at Yan Ning. "It doesn't matter what the family said about borrowing or not. If you like something, just ask the staff to write it down. I will pay for it later."
After that, she asked curiously, "But after you buy it, do you want to make jewelry yourself or do something else?"
Yan Ning smiled and said, "I heard there's a jewelry design competition in Paris in November.
I also want to design a work to enter the competition, so I want to take this opportunity to buy some gem materials here.
Later I will need to borrow my aunt’s factory to process some jewelry.”
Huo Jieyan smiled and said, "It's a good thing that you have this idea. Young people should be bold and energetic.
Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the money and the processing factory. Just go and choose the gemstone materials you need.
I'll pay for it later. If you don't have enough materials, you can use the gems in my processing factory."
She likes girls who are ambitious and have ideas.
Money is not a problem. The Ning family is wealthy enough to support all the children in the family to develop their own careers.
Yan Ning smiled and nodded, "Thank you, aunt."
Huo Jieyan accompanied Yan Ning to the loose stone area to buy many kinds of gemstones.
No red diamonds, blue diamonds, white diamonds, rubies or sapphires were bought.
The things that Yan Ning had previously taken to her uncle's processing factory in the 21st Century for processing should have been completed during this period of time. She would find time to go back and get them back in the next few days.
It was already past one in the afternoon when we finished visiting the exhibition. We left the exhibition and found a restaurant to eat.
Huo Jieyan and Cheng Jingyi discussed it and decided to buy a plane ticket back to Hong Kong City at 2 o'clock tomorrow.
In the afternoon, I went shopping in the center of Paris.
After dinner, the group took a car to the Paris department store in the center of Paris.
Crossing the Place de Ville opposite the department store, the Seine River suddenly appeared before our eyes, and Notre Dame on the left bank was not far away.
The department store has various famous brand clothing stores and some niche designer brand stores.
Yan Ning and his friends walked around the various brand clothing stores on the first floor.
Everyone bought a lot of clothes and bags, big and small.
They strolled around until around six in the evening and had dinner before getting in the car to return to the hotel.
After lunch the next day, the group packed their luggage and headed for the airport.
The flight from Paris to Hong Kong took off at two o'clock in the afternoon.
The return journey also takes about sixteen hours.
It was not until Friday the 24th, around 1:00 p.m. Beijing time, that the plane landed at the Hong Kong City Airport.
Yan Ning, Huo Jieyan and Cheng Jingyi said goodbye and got in the car back to the Ning family.
Having not rested well on the plane, Yan Ning went straight back to his room when he got home to rest and adjust to the jet lag.
The next morning at around eight o'clock, Yan Ning went downstairs to have breakfast and chatted with Sister Huo about jewelry design.
Huo Jieyan said, "I asked someone about the time of the Paris Jewelry Design Competition. Registration has already started.
The registration deadline is November 5th. The finalists will be compiled from the 10th to the 13th. The awards ceremony will be held on the 20th.
If you want to participate, excluding the time it takes to fly to Paris, you have until November 2nd to complete the design and produce the entry."
Yan Ning calculated that there were still seven or eight days left, so she still had time.
