Bai Qinghuan felt a tightness in her chest, as if she had difficulty breathing.
Her eyes felt a little sore, an experience she had never had before.
"I won't wait for you," Bai Qinghuan said stubbornly.
The two only spent a few minutes together; Gu Ting gave her a final hug before being led away.
Looking at his retreating figure, Bai Qinghuan could no longer control herself.
Holding back her tears, Bai Qinghuan turned and left, her fists clenched tightly.
Yu He is not in City A, but he has people here, so Bai Qingzhi cannot appear for the time being.
After returning home, Mo Yunze did not tell his sister that Bai Qingzhi was still alive.
With two people suddenly gone from the studio, Qiao Shanshan and Jiang Yan felt anxious all the time, but they still tried their best to complete the orders they had left behind.
Bai Qingzhi, who had been staying at home for several days, was really worried about her studio, so she had her sister disguise herself and went there.
As soon as I entered, I saw Qiao Shanshan and another person chatting in the lobby, both of them looking tired.
But when they saw the strangers come in, the two still smiled.
"What would you like to order, Miss?" Qiao Shanshan greeted her warmly.
Bai Qingzhi hadn't been back for several days. She looked around and found that the studio was exactly the same as when she was there.
With no intention of watching the two make progress, Bai Qingzhi ordered a simple style of earrings.
The price is not high and the construction period is short.
Then she watched as Jiang Yan neatly placed the orders into her office.
Through the glass window, Bai Qingzhi noticed that her desk was already piled high with order contracts.
Seeing the two smile, Bai Qingzhi felt a sense of pride.
I knew I hadn't made a mistake in choosing the right person.
Before she could leave, she heard footsteps approaching again, turned around and met the eyes of the person who came.
Mo Yuze.
“Miss Mo.” Qiao Shanshan was clearly very familiar with the other party.
Mo Yuze nodded, then sat down on the sofa by himself.
She was also surprised to see Bai Qingzhi here. After chatting for a while, Bai Qingzhi learned that she had been coming here often since she "died".
Sitting all day without doing anything.
Qiao Shanshan and the other woman were used to it and let her just stand there in a daze.
“They are both very good. Since Qingzhi died, all the orders they received have been placed there.” Mo Yuze said, pointing in the direction of Bai Qingzhi’s office.
"But what's the use of leaving them there when they're all dead?" Bai Qingzhi had wanted to ask that earlier.
"They said they'd burn some for Qingzhi later," Mo Yuze laughed.
Knowing that she and Bai Qingzhi were cousins and that she knew Mo Yuze, Qiao Shanshan stopped taking care of them and turned to designing her work.
The office wasn't locked, and Bai Qingzhi, out of curiosity, pushed the door open and went inside.
To her surprise, the place was very clean, with a bouquet of fresh roses on the table and her usual coffee.
“The two of them would come over every day to make a cup of tea. According to them, it would make them feel like Qingzhi was still here.”
Mo Yuze was clearly familiar with the office layout; after walking around, he sat down in a chair.
"To be honest, I was initially thinking of coming here to work together."
The contract on the table was placed in the most conspicuous place. Bai Qingzhi glanced at it and then discovered that the one on top was someone she knew.
Qi Shang.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Qi had ordered a set of jewelry for middle-aged women a month ago.
A question flashed through her mind: Qi Shang was clearly a designer himself, and he had such a big brand under his own name, so why would he place an order in her small studio?
Before I could figure it out, someone walked in from outside.
A white suit, spotless.
Bai Qingzhi thought to herself, "I can't help but keep thinking about it."
Jiang Yan had already taken the prepared jewelry over, and Qi Shang picked them up and checked them one by one without saying a word.
Then I saw his brows furrow.
"It's a bit too ornate, which makes it less authentic than what I expected." Qi Shang shook his head and put the jewelry back in the box.
This design was created independently by Jiang Yan, and it was the first time she had independently handled such a large amount of money.
For this order, she worked for two consecutive days without rest, revising the design hundreds of times before finalizing it.
Hearing Qi Shang's words, he was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
After all, Qi merchants have a certain status internationally, so their words are certainly authoritative.
Suddenly, Jiang Yan became insecure.
"The lines are smooth, the design is gentle, it's very beautiful," Bai Qingzhi said from the side.
Qi Shang's brows furrowed even more.
“I’m a customer, I like it very much, and I think other women would like it too,” Bai Qingzhi said with certainty.
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing her words, and the confidence she had just lost seemed to return somewhat.
“Yes, I think it looks great too,” Mo Yuze said, following behind Bai Qingzhi.
Hearing their conversation, Jiang Yan's eyes shone brighter and brighter, and finally, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
“Your preferences are important, but this jewelry set was custom-made for me. I am not satisfied with what she has made, so I have the right to refuse to pay the remaining balance.”
Qi Shang spoke with a gentlemanly smile throughout, giving no impression of being aggressive.
This time, Bai Qingzhi remained silent.
What Qi Shang said is correct. Ultimately, designers are also there to serve their clients. If the clients are not satisfied, then it is their failure.
Perhaps it was the conversation between the two that gave Jiang Yan confidence. She picked up the box containing the jewelry and began to explain the meaning behind the design of the set with a serious look in her eyes.
When he earnestly discussed jewelry design with Qi Shang, after a few minutes, he impressed Qi Shang somewhat.
He smiled and nodded, then instructed the person who brought him to put away the jewelry.
"Ms. Jiang is indeed very talented. Would you be interested in working for my company?"
Qi Shang stood up and asked seriously.
Bai Qingzhi's eyes widened immediately. Good heavens, so this was his real purpose all along!
Qi Shang's company is world-renowned, and being able to work there as a designer is the dream of most designers.
They usually don't hire people, and those they do hire are usually well-known individuals. Direct invitations like this are almost unheard of.
Although Bai Qingzhi felt that Qi Shang was being unfair, since the seventh day after her death hadn't even passed yet, he was already blatantly trying to poach her.
But she also knew that if she were in Jiang Yan's position, she would probably agree eighty percent of the time.
"I noticed your talent during the competition. This was also a test for you. Congratulations, you passed."
If Jiang Yan remains silent after receiving his rejection today, then he will have to reconsider.
Qiao Shanshan, who was standing to the side, was also happy for Jiang Yan and held her hand, urging her to agree quickly.
Jiang Yan was also very happy. Receiving a personal invitation from Qi Shang was enough to demonstrate her ability, and this feeling of being recognized made her happy.
But to everyone's surprise, Jiang Yan refused.
Qi Shang was clearly surprised; he couldn't understand why.
