13 Who is important
◎Who is more important, Chen Lin or Jiang Suiyun?◎
Jiang Suiyun arrived at the agreed coffee shop early.
I chose a seat by the window and took out my portfolio.
The door to the cafe opened, and she looked in the direction of the voice. After two years, Teacher Wen was still the same as she remembered, her brows gentle and relaxed. She was about to stand up and greet him when her eyes were drawn to the slender figure behind her.
Zhou Chengze wore a dark grey casual suit with a pure white shirt underneath and no tie. He looked both formal and casual.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Suiyun was a little surprised.
——Senior Zhou.
The other party was not surprised at all when he saw her, obviously he had known it was her.
Jiang Suiyun never expected to meet Zhou Chengze under such circumstances.
When Zhou Chengze confessed his love to her in the restaurant, she rejected him and they lost contact. When she heard from Zhou Chengze again, he had already gone abroad.
Coming back to his senses, Jiang Suiyun looked away.
Zhou Chengze was still as gentle and refined as he remembered.
However, Jiang Suiyun didn't notice that the pair of eyes that always contained a gentle smile became noticeably brighter when they saw her.
"Xiao Jiang, you're here really early." Teacher Wen walked over with a smile and pointed at the person next to him. "I brought Xiao Zhou with me. He's now the chief designer of DY. I heard you two know each other and are from the same hometown. It's a good opportunity for you to chat together."
When Jiang Suiyun heard about Zhou Chengze's current status, he felt a little emotional for a moment. When the two of them were washing dishes together in the restaurant, they said that they both wanted to become famous designers in the industry, but unfortunately, things changed.
Jiang Suiyun thought this in his heart, but his expression did not change: "Hello, Teacher Wen, hello, Senior Zhou."
Zhou Chengze nodded slightly: "Junior Jiang, long time no see." His voice was still as gentle as he remembered, but a little more steady.
Jiang Suiyun smiled and replied, "It's been a long time indeed. Didn't you go to Country S? I thought you would settle there."
Zhou Chengze stared at her: "It's mainly because... there are people I care about back home."
Jiang Suiyun felt a little uncomfortable under this gaze, and then heard Zhou Chengze say, "My parents are old, and it's not good to always make them worry."
Suddenly she understood, no wonder, she remembered that her senior's father was not in good health and had to take medicine all year round.
She is a grade younger than Zhou Chengze. When she first entered the school, she was not familiar with the surrounding environment.
The two met through a group of fellow villagers from Jianan County.
Later, Zhou Chengze introduced her to part-time jobs from time to time. The two of them came and went, and often worked in the same store, so they became familiar with each other.
After exchanging pleasantries, they began to get down to business.
Teacher Wen looked through Jiang Suiyun's portfolio and showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
But then, he said with some hesitation, "Xiao Jiang, in previous years, I would have made the final decision on designer recruitment. But this year is different. You should know that our studio has recently partnered with Cielo, and during this period of cooperation, all aspects of recruitment will need to be considered by them."
Jiang Suiyun was a little disappointed, but it was understandable: "So what are the requirements this year?"
"This year's international jewelry competition requires a finalist, that's the bottom line."
Wen Yin forwarded the registration form to Jiang Suiyun: "Teacher, I believe in my own vision. DY looks forward to your joining."
Jiang Suiyun said sincerely: "Thank you, teacher."
Having said that, one can imagine the high level of participation in international jewelry competitions, and one can’t help but feel nervous.
Zhou Chengze seemed to have noticed it as well, and he livened up the atmosphere just in time: "Jiang Xuemei has no idea how much Teacher Wen likes you. Ever since you messaged her yesterday, she hasn't stopped talking about you."
As soon as these words were spoken, several people instantly relaxed again.
It's like we're really chatting.
Teacher Wen: "Regarding the charity exhibition, it is also a charity fundraising event. It is an international touring exhibition jointly organized by the studio and Cielo. The works on display will be auctioned, and the proceeds will be donated to welfare organizations around the world."
"The next destination is Country A, which will officially begin in a month. We are still collecting entries, and there are only two spots left."
"Cielo headquarters attaches great importance to this event. It would be great if you could participate."
Of course Jiang Suiyun did not refuse. This was the best result at the moment.
Moreover, she also wants to go to Country A, so this arrangement is tailor-made for her.
It was almost noon when everything was settled.
Wen Yin can't drive, so she is usually picked up by a driver when she goes out. Today, Zhou Chengze brought her here.
She looked at Zhou Chengze again: "Xiao Zhou."
"Xiao Zhou?"
After shouting on both sides, people finally reacted.
But his eyes unconsciously looked to the other side.
Jiang Suiyun went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he found that there was a hint of meaning in Teacher Wen's eyes.
She glanced at the two of them teasingly and said, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Zhou is mainly responsible for Country A's July special event. You two can discuss it."
She checked her watch and said, "Oh, I have a meeting to attend, so I have to go." She pretended to be in a hurry to pack her bag. "You old classmates can meet and catch up. I'll see Xiao Jiang off later."
Then he pushed Zhou Chengze and said, "Go away."
Zhou Chengze's ears turned red: "Jiang Xuemei, I..."
Looked very embarrassed.
Jiang Suiyun said calmly, "Then please wait for me to pack my things."
Wen Yin glanced at the two of them one last time before leaving. Zhou Chengze stood half a step behind Jiang Suiyun, maintaining a polite distance while remaining ready to take a step forward at any time.
It's worrying just looking at it.
This kid usually looks calm and reliable, but why is he so stupid when it comes to emotions?
She sighed in her heart: "You are still young."
After standing on the roadside for a while, she finally stopped a taxi.
—
The lights outside the box were dim, and the scarlet cigarette butt flickered between my fingertips.
A face with sharp features suddenly appeared behind the white mist.
He Chifeng half closed his eyelids.
Through the crack in the door, a flattering laugh came from inside: "Brother Li is still smart."
"But, Brother Li, do you think it won't be discovered if I tamper with this contract?"
"Go away! I'm calling you an idiot." Mr. Li raised half his pinky finger and said disdainfully, "With just these few tricks, that He guy definitely won't be able to see it. He's been abroad for so long and just returned, so he's definitely not familiar with the situation back home. We just need to make some use of it..."
"The problem with that land is quite serious, so why are we still asking such a high price?"
"If he opened too little, it would arouse suspicion. They were just trying to lower the price for him."
When the younger brother heard what Mr. Li said, he immediately flattered him: "Brother, this is such a big hot potato, it's really thanks to your wide network of contacts, otherwise there would be no one to take it over."
He gave a thumbs up.
"Tsk, this is all thanks to Madam Shen's disclosure."
"He Lao Er really didn't lie to me. I heard him say before that his sister-in-law favored her eldest son. I never thought that this wasn't just partiality! This is her heart being biased to the point of tickling..."
Bang--
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.
The moment they saw who was coming, everyone inside became as quiet as a chicken.
He Chifeng's eyes were frighteningly dark, his jaw was tense, and the cigarette between his fingertips was crushed into pieces. Sparks mixed with tobacco residue fell from between his fingers, and the atmosphere in the entire box fell to the bottom.
Almost all the people inside were veterans who had been in the business world for many years, but they were still frightened by the brutality that emanated from his bones.
He Chifeng sneered: "Why don't you continue?"
…
Just as He Chifeng finished dealing with the group of people next door, You Zhuo came out of another box with He Chifeng's suit jacket in his hand.
"Have you taken action?" You Zhuo was a little anxious, not because of anything else, but mainly because he had just heard the sound of someone in the next room obeying orders, and he was afraid that He Chifeng would really take action and beat someone to death.
"No." He Chifeng unbuttoned his shirt and impatiently threw the two contracts in his hand to You Zhuo with a cold tone.
You Zhuo was not annoyed. As brothers for so many years, he certainly knew that He Chifeng was really in a very bad mood.
In fact, it doesn’t matter even if we beat up that group of people. It’s their own fault for setting up a trap to cheat others, so they deserve it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." He flipped through the contract and laughed, "This contract really makes the other party lose both the wife and the army."
"However, I didn't expect your second uncle to act so quickly. I heard my mother complaining to me yesterday that your second uncle has been going to the Ye family every day recently, and he brought his son to promote his products."
"It's hilarious. Everyone in the industry knows that He Chuan is impotent and a playboy. His reputation is utterly ruined. And guess what, He Chuan's mom heard that my mom knows a great Chinese medicine practitioner who specializes in men's health, so she even brought some stuff to her house to inquire about him."
"It's really Sima Zhao's intention, everyone knows it."
"This time they've set their sights on you."
He Chifeng felt even more disgusted when he heard You Zhuo's words, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief in disgust.
At the same time, thinking of what the group of people said just now, Shen Lin really didn't even bother pretending anymore.
They are obviously both her sons, but they are two extremes.
He sneered: "Someone has to give them the opportunity."
Speaking of this, You Zhuo looked at He Chifeng's expression cautiously.
Suddenly I don’t know what to say.
The You and Chen families are old friends. He has been playing with He Chifeng since he was a child. Naturally, he knew that Aunt Chen has always been partial to Brother Linchuan, but he didn't expect her to be partial to this extent.
“Ding Di——”
Two messages appeared on He Chifeng's phone.
Perhaps the person just now had passed the news to her, one of which was the explanation sent by Shen Lin.
After all, this was the collaboration she was trying hard to make happen.
The second one is still about his elder brother.
He Chifeng narrowed his eyes and tapped the table unconsciously with his fingertips.
“Crack—”
The crisp sound of a lighter was heard, he lit a cigarette, took a puff, and suddenly found himself laughing.
The rage he had been suppressing was about to consume his sanity. So, he could actually get angry about something like this? He had thought he had gotten over it...
As for Shen Lin, she certainly didn’t do it on purpose, because it was intentional.
You Zhuo also saw the message. His usually cheerful expression suddenly darkened. "Does your eldest brother still need to send the canaries abroad?"
"Why don't you just stay in China? I think your eldest brother likes her very much, and it's a good opportunity to disgust your mother at the same time."
"Why not?" He Chifeng fiercely extinguished his cigarette butt. "Not only that, I also want to let my brother know who sent it."
After all, in front of He Linchuan, Chen Lin has always been the image of a gentle and loving mother. He Chifeng really wants to know, if his brother finds out, will Chen Lin still just give a bland explanation like she did when facing him?
Or maybe, he wanted to take a look too.
In his brother's heart, who is more important, Shen Lin or Jiang Suiyun?
He sent a message to his assistant, asking where Jiang Suiyun was now.
The original plan was the day after tomorrow, but he decided to send the person out tomorrow.
