Chapter 153 Making a Diamond Ring
Beijixing not only designs clothing, but also jewelry. Zhou Xingyang brought back a complete set of professional equipment from abroad.
Zhou Xingyang heard the voice and glanced at him with some disdain, "What big business? Can I still take Tangtang's money?"
"Sister Xingyang!" Shen Chutang trotted over and took her arm, "Sister Xingyang, time is a bit tight, let's ignore them for now."
Zhou Xingyang was pulled forward by her, turned his head to look at the two of them, and smiled suddenly, "Okay, everything is ready, someone will teach you later."
When Shen Chutang was in the car just now, he had already drawn a sketch of the concept. After arriving at the design studio, he held a tablet and communicated with the designer.
"You can also design jewelry?" Qiao Qingyan asked as she looked at the design drawing. It didn't look like it was drawn by an amateur.
Shen Chutang smiled shyly, "I learned a little bit before, can you help me see if this design of this place is correct?"
"Well... this is OK, but it will be a little difficult to do."
Zhou Xingyang: "How long will it take to make this?"
The designer took the tablet and looked at the sketch carefully. "The setting is not difficult. The main thing is the polishing and design of the diamonds. It will probably take several hours. Has Miss Shen chosen the diamonds?"
"I've picked it out. It'll take a while for it to be delivered," Shen Chutang said.
"Please wait for me for a moment. I will refine the drawing. Can we make the ring setting first?"
"Of course." The designer returned the tablet to her. "I'll prepare the things first."
Shen Chutang sat down at the table, thinking and painting for a while, immersing himself in his own world.
In the office next door, Shen Sichen sat on Zhou Xingyang's office chair, swaying from side to side, "Tsk, are you guys going to throw the bouquet then?"
"Brother, this is an engagement, not a marriage." Shi Chengyu sat on the sofa by the window and smiled faintly, "If you want it, I'll throw it to you when the time comes."
"When? I feel like you guys are not in a hurry at all." Shen Sichen asked.
The curve of Shi Chengyu's lips rose even more, "Because I know Tangtang will definitely marry me."
Shen Sichen: ...was injured.
Just as he was about to scold him, the phone on the table rang. Shen Sichen picked it up naturally, "What's the matter?"
The man on the other side was stunned for a moment, "The diamonds have been delivered downstairs. Would you mind coming down to pick them up?"
"Got it." Shen Sichen hung up the phone, "Well, you stay here to accommodate me, and I still have to go get the diamond for you."
"Thank you, second brother."
Shen Sichen walked out the door, then turned back and leaned against the door frame, "Don't you really want to take a peek?"
"No, second brother." Shi Chengyu refused with a smile, and urged, "Go quickly, Tangtang will be waiting anxiously later."
Shen Sichen turned around and went downstairs swiftly. The owner of the auction house was carrying a password box and was followed by several bodyguards.
Seeing Shen Sichen coming down, he opened the password box and took out the box containing the diamonds. "Mr. Shen, the diamonds have been delivered. Would you like to check the goods first?"
"No, I need it urgently." Shen Sichen took it and looked at it. "I believe Boss Chen will not lie to me. I will ask Wei Chuan to pay for it later."
Boss Chen nodded repeatedly, "Okay, take care."
Not to mention cheating him, he wouldn't even dare to fool him with something of inferior quality. When the goods were delivered, Boss Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Sichen returned upstairs with the diamond and knocked on the door. Seeing that it was Zhou Xingyang who opened the door, he immediately smiled and said, "The diamond has been delivered."
Zhou Xingyang took it and said, "Sit in my office and don't mess with my things."
"I know." Shen Sichen smiled and looked inside. "What's going on?"
"We're making the ring setting. It will probably be a little later." Zhou Xingyang lowered his head and saw the diamonds inside through the transparent box lid. He was startled. "Okay, go out and wait."
"Okay, let's eat together after you finish cooking." Shen Sichen closed the door for her with a smile and walked to the next room humming a tune.
"Tangtang, come and look at the diamond first."
After more than two hours, most of the ring setting was completed. There was plenty of time, and Shen Chutang was not as nervous as at the beginning.
She looked at the ring Zhou Xingyang handed over. It was a little bigger than she expected. "Can this be cut smaller?"
Qiao Qingyan was so frightened that she dropped the tools in her hands to the ground. "Grandfather, this diamond is worth at least 100 million. It would be a shame to cut it!"
Shen Chutang smiled awkwardly. She didn't pay much attention to the price. "This one is too big. After cutting it, it can be made into two pieces, one big and one small. It won't be awkward to wear it daily." Just like the one on her hand.
Qiao Qingyan just noticed the blue diamond on her hand. She thought she could only see it on the Internet in this life, but she didn't expect to see it in real life.
She was envious and heartbroken. She looked at the finished ring setting, which was exactly the size of half the diamond. "Okay, you designed it, so you have the final say."
"Well, please, half of it needs to be square, as we'll be using it later, and the other half needs to be round."
After Shen Chutang finished speaking, she began to polish the ring setting. Diamond cutting requires extremely high technical skills, and she had no way to do it, so she could only ask Qiao Qingyan to do it.
Qiao Qingyan put on gloves and observed carefully for a long time, writing and drawing on paper, calculating, and finally choosing the best cutting angle.
After Shen Chutang finished making the ring setting, Qiao Qingyan started cutting it, and she engraved two more letters on the inner wall of the ring.
The ring was wide, with space for setting diamonds. Shen Chutang picked it up and looked at it under the light, feeling very satisfied.
After sitting for a long time, Shen Chutang stood up and stretched. She picked up her phone and found that Shi Chengyu had sent her many messages, asking her if she was okay and asking her to eat first.
Shen Chutang replied with an emoticon that said "no", and then said: No, it's almost done, wait a little longer, and eat after it's done.
This wait lasted another four hours, and Shi Chengyu's original anticipation and joy were replaced by worry.
By the time Shen Chutang came out, it was already dark, and Shi Chengyu had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Shi Chengyu." Shen Chutang's voice was a little tired. She walked towards him and hugged his neck.
Shi Chengyu felt distressed but couldn't bear to blame her. He didn't want her to work so hard. "It took too long."
Shen Chutang raised his head and said, "Of course I have to make it well for you. I'll show it to you tomorrow."
Shi Chengyu put his arm around her waist and took out a bag of chocolates from his pocket. "I like everything Tangtang makes. Eat some first, then go back to eat and rest."
After returning home, Shen Chutang finished his meal despite feeling sleepy. Shi Chengyu helped him take a shower, and he fell asleep while he was still blow-drying his hair.
She was sleeping soundly, and Shi Chengyu looked at her intently in the soft light, kissing her eyebrows, eyes, nose tip, and gently kissing the corners of her lips.
The heat from his breath brushed across his face, telling him that this was not a dream.
