Early on Monday morning, Ye Yingning drove to Lingyan. Other employees in the design department had already begun taking turns to take vacations, but she was determined to go to work. Su Qingchi considered that someone should be in charge of the company, so he agreed to her request.

Along the way, Ye Yingning's thoughts were very confused, so she simply opened the car window to the maximum and let the wind blow across her face, as if this would blow away all the depression in her heart.

As expected, Zhou Yang left the villa early on Sunday morning. Before leaving, he left a message that he would stay in the army until the end of the military exercise and that if anything happened, you could call him.

Ye Yingning could only nod and say yes. The two of them seemed to have returned to the previous state of mutual respect and alienation. It was not considered hostile, but it was definitely not friendly.

With such a heavy heart, Ye Yingning stepped into the office. As soon as she entered the door, she found Su Qingchi, Miumiu and Stephy all there, seemingly waiting for her.

"It seems I'm not late, right?"

Ye Yingning put her handbag on the table with a faint smile and glanced at Su Qingchi. Sure enough, there were a few faint red marks on the other person's neck. Although she carefully covered them with loose powder, if she looked closely, she could still see them.

You can see it.

Duan Rui was not often in Zhonghai City, so when the young couple met, they were naturally affectionate and enviable. However, the episode on Saturday still made Ye Yingning feel a little unhappy.

Su Qingchi looked at Ye Yingning with a somewhat embarrassed expression, but she quickly handed over a white envelope in her hand.

"It was sent by the Jewelry Association. I also think you are the most suitable candidate. Besides, it is rare that this competition is held in Zhonghai City. In terms of strength and opportunity, you should give it a try."

Ye Yingning glanced at her in surprise, then took it and took out the letter paper inside.

It was full of English, and at the end was a signature signed by a dragon and a phoenix. It was a very elegant handwriting. She recognized it almost effortlessly and said in a voiceless voice: "Is it a letter from Ms. Laura?"

Belica Lola is a legend in the international jewelry industry. Her father is an oil tycoon, but she has been fond of jewelry appreciation and design since she was a child. The family has strong financial resources and extraordinary innate talents.

Her talent laid a good foundation for her, allowing her to sweep the world's major awards almost as soon as she became an adult. Now, at the age of 40, she has established a well-known jewelry company and hosts design competitions every year.

Although this event is held in her personal name, no one dares to underestimate the jewelry industry. The Rolla Group is a symbol of wealth and power throughout the European continent. Belica Rolla is the only daughter of the group’s chairman, Old Rolla, and also

First heir.

It can be said that as long as you can stand out in the competition, you have basically established a firm foothold in the field of international jewelry design.

Rebecca, who has always found her own way, also surprised her peers in the arrangement of competitions. The competition is held every year and is held all over the world, such as Cape Town, South Africa the year before last, Adelaide, Australia last year, and this year she chose China.

Zhonghai.

"Yes, she wrote a letter herself, hoping that I could convince you to participate. It seems that she is very well-informed and knows about your decision back then."

Su Qingchi spread his hands, knowing that Ye Yingning was terribly stubborn, but still couldn't help but want to give it a try.

That year, after receiving the Newcomer Award, Ye Yingning made a decision not to participate in any industry competitions.

No one knew the reason why she made this decision, but Ye Yingning quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, returned to China in a very low-key manner, and worked for the emerging Lingyan Jewelry instead of other senior and established companies.

"This opportunity... is indeed rare."

Ye Yingning didn't answer the question. After thinking for a while, she nodded gently, and the hand holding the letter was visibly shaking.

She used to be somewhat young and vigorous. After winning the Newcomer Award, she realized that these competitions were boring. Behind every seemingly perfect jewelry piece, hidden was the designer's deliberate flattery and craftsmanship, which made her

Feeling endlessly tired.

On the other hand, it was also because Luan Chi didn't like her high profile, and he wished that the whole world didn't know how good she was, and that he could only have her as his treasure, trap her by his side, and love and play with her at any time.

"Are you planning to compete?"

Hearing the gentleness in Ye Yingning's tone, Su Qingchi's eyes lit up, and there was unspeakable surprise in his tone.

Miumiu and Stephy on the side also quickly took the opportunity to persuade, and the two of them started to make insinuations.

Ye Yingning stood leaning against the desk, gently clasping his fingers on the tabletop, and seemed to be thinking carefully.

For any jewelry designer, this is a precious opportunity. Especially, Ms. Laura personally wrote a letter to invite, which already shows that she is full of interest in him and intends to cultivate him.

This industry is very cruel. The competition is about creativity, ideas, perseverance, and opportunities.

More importantly, international reputation is far more important than domestic status. Even though Ye Yingning is already a nationally famous emerging designer, in terms of world rankings, she can only be said to have just started.

Thinking of this, Ye Yingning felt that the pride she once felt was too childish.

And it is even more stupid to give up your career in order to cater to men.

She even felt very contemptuous of Ye Yingning's foolish decision. Now that she was living again, she would never be able to wear new shoes and walk the same old road again.

"Let's try it. Actually, I'm not sure."

The corners of Ye Yingning's mouth turned up, smiling a little bit. Su Qingchi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened in disbelief.

The two assistants, who originally had no hope, felt like they were waking up from a dream, and it took them a while to react.

"Mr. Su, the night director agreed. The recommendation letter you stayed up late to write last night was not wasted!"

Miumiu is a girl from Jiangnan. She usually speaks Mandarin, but when she gets happy, her voice is obviously sweet and coquettish, and her beautiful face can't help but be happy at this moment.

Stephy also nodded fiercely, took out his iPad to write down the key points, and said that he would sort out the award-winning works over the years and send them to Ye Yingning.

"Well, since you are so 'concerned' about whether I am participating in the competition, I will invite you at noon."

Ye Yingning waved her hand and decisively saw off the guests.

*****

At noon, Ye Yingning was really generous and booked a private room at a nearby Japanese izakaya.

"I remember that you liked the French oysters here. You said they were slightly sweet and crispy, and they were very authentic. Miumiu also ate grilled white eel last time and was full of praise. I specifically asked the chef to give you an extra layer of hand brushing today.

Grind the potato puree and see if it becomes smoother?"

The appetizers were brought out one after another. Ye Yingning, who was sitting cross-legged, looked at Su Qingchi and Miumiu sitting opposite with a smile. Then he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Stephy beside him. He said with concern: "I almost forgot, you

Last time I said I had a rash on my legs, can I still drink sake today? Do I want to switch to juice?"

Stephy looked at Ye Yingning in a daze, shook his head after a long time, and kept saying that it was okay and that he was no longer allergic.

Su Qingchi, on the other hand, stared blankly at Ye Yingning. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Yingning, you, why are you acting weird?"

She and Ye Yingning have known each other for many years. Roughly speaking, they must have been together for four or five years. All along, in Su Qingchi's heart, this friend was cold and indifferent to everyone, and would never express his thoughts.
