Two years later.

early morning.

The first thing Wen Ran did when she woke up was to turn on her laptop and check her email.

The transnational email has been replied.

The reply word is very polite, but it turns out to be cold "can't help you".

Wen Ran opens the video saved on the desktop.

This is an interview program she accidentally browsed last week.

The protagonist interviewed is "Carlisle" Cmo Yan Wangshu.

Wen Ran had an impression of this man's black diamond and his name, so he looked at the show twice more.

Yan Wangshu was interviewed in a private residence to display his precious collections. Among them, there is a traditional incense box called Fugui Mantang.

The house is full of wealth and honor, and it is the work of Grandpa Wen Ran.

Grandpa Wen Ran is the inheritor of traditional filigree craftsmanship. When he was a child, he used this exquisite incense box to put colored stones on her to play with.

Wen Ran’s father does not have this talent, which is a pity for Wen Ran’s grandfather. For Wen Ran, who can see his talent since childhood, he is not good at it.

He always held her in the wooden rocking chair, saying that he would teach her the silk craft in the future, and said that Ranran would grow up as soon as possible.

But the illness is incompetent and does not wait for others to grow up.

Wen Ran hurried to M Country back then, and didn't know how to deal with grandpa's relics, so he actually let the incense box flow to Yan Wangshu.

Wen Ran wants to buy a reinvention box.

She called the customer service department of 'Carlisle' and said she wanted to buy the incense box. The reply there was "Incense box is not in the sales rules, so I need to ask."

Wen Ran waited for two days, and replied that it would not be sold, and did not say the reason.

She didn't give up and tried to write an email to the headquarters of 'Carlisle', but she got the reply from the email just now - it couldn't help you.

Wen Ran was depressed and sat in the studio all morning without any thoughts on anything.

In the afternoon, she went to find Bai Weiliang.

Bai Weiliang's studio is very large, with seven workbenches alone.

Wen Ran helped to clean up the workbench: "Teacher, I heard that Xinyi is back. I want to go and play with her. I may not come back tonight."

When Bai Weiliang heard this, he put down his tools and pretended to be serious: "You should just walk around more often. What do you think if you stay in the studio all the time?"

Bai Weiliang seemed to remember something and waved: "Come here, I'll tell you something."

Wen Ran walked over and sat down.

Bai Weiliang: "Ranran, the company plans to enter the domestic market, you should know?"

"Know."

"The road has been paved, it's only been two years. This is my dream." Bai Weiliang sighed in a deep breath, "Ranran, you have grown up and you have to be ready to go to the company."

"good."

"I am older and my health is getting worse day by day. If I can't see that day, you and Cheng Jing should not let my expectations down."

Bai Weiliang was never married and had no children in his life. He treated Wen Ran as his granddaughter.

Compared with Zhai Chengjing, he was tolerant and indulgent to Wen Ran’s teachings.

For example, when Wen Ran was not used to school life in M ​​Country, Bai Weiliang directly hired a tutor; Wen Ran mentioned that he wanted to learn jade carving, Bai Weiliang asked a professional jade carving master to teach...

Regarding her career, he thought he had paved the way for her, but he was still worried.

Wen Ran looked at Bai Weiliang's mottled face, and walked up to him, arched his waist and hugged him: "Teacher, don't say that, you will live a hundred years of life."

Bai Wei patted Wen Ran's back kindly: "Didn't you say you want to find Xinyi? Don't be too late with me."

After saying that, Bai Weiliang turned around and arched his back and carefully polished the wax mold on his hands.

Zhai Xinyi will join the company next week. She took advantage of the reason for joining the company and pulled Wen Ran to accompany her to buy new clothes and do new manicures.

After Wen Ran's repeated urging, he returned to Zhai's house after dinner.

Wen Ran asked when he entered the door, "Have you been back?"

"I don't know." Zhai Xinyi answered casually, and suddenly changed his shoes and paused his hands, looking at Wen Ran with wide eyes, "Wen Ran, don't you like my brother, right?"

How is that possible?

Wen Ran's face turned red suddenly, and her tone was strong: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Look, your face turned red." Zhai Xinyi poked Wen Ran's arm with his finger, and was very excited. "No wonder he was coming to play with me, no wonder he always urged him to go home. Ranran, don't hide it from me. You said, do you like my brother? Do you like my brother?"

This time, Wen Ran even had her neck red, and she reached out to cover her mouth, a little annoyed and angry: "Don't talk nonsense! I don't!"

The two of them were chasing and fighting, and the entrance to the hall was pushed open.

Zhai Chengjing looked at the two of them: "What are you doing?"

Zhai Xinyi pushed Wen Ran with red cheeks: "Brother, Ran Ran has been waiting for you for a long time."

Wen Ran staggered with the force two steps. She didn't know if her senior brother heard Xinyi's nonsense. She was embarrassed and explained her purpose directly: "Senior brother, I have something to ask you."

Zhai Chengjing nodded: "Go to the study and say."

When he arrived at the study, Wen Ran said from beginning to end that he wanted to buy a silk fragrance box.

After hearing her say, Zhai Chengjing said, "I will ask for you."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Zhai Chengjing reminded: "But there is little hope. You know, 'Carlisle' has expanded the North American market in the past two years, and our company is going to enter the domestic market. Our two companies are competitors. I can't judge whether Yan Wangshu will sell me this favor, unless the teacher will try it out?"

Wen Ran shook her head.

People with a teacher's status have never been selling favors for decades.

She is not so ignorant yet.

Zhai Chengjing looked at Wen Ran and said, "By the way, the teacher will arrange for you to join the company in the second half of the year. Have you told you?"

"Yeah, mentioned."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Wen Ran shook her head. She had no idea, trusted and accepted all the teacher's arrangements.

"You just care about the design and don't pay attention to anything else. Don't think too much about your own company." Zhai Chengjing saw that she was a little worried and said, "I will ask you for your help on Yan Wangshu. It's okay to pay, don't worry."

Wen Ran nodded absent-mindedly.

Two days later, Zhai Chengjing told Wen Ran that Yan Wangshu refused to sell the silk fragrance box because "Carlisle" has used the fragrance box as the prize for the next "apollo Jewelry Competition".

Wen Ran checked the "Apollo Jewelry Competition" online, which is the internal jewelry designer competition of "Carlisle" company.

The winning works will be auctioned publicly, which is considered a promotional method of ‘Carlisle’ and a gimmick, and it is also a stunt to promote and display the design of the new season.

This incident reached Zhai Xinyi. She slapped her hands and came up with an idea: "Will you just go to the competition?"

Zhai Xinyi said it, but Wen Ran heard it.

One month later.

Wen Ran went to Zhai Xinyi and told her that she had submitted the design work to "Carlisle" and got the offer.

Zhai Xinyi choked by the coffee and coughed several times before he recovered.

"You really go? That's the right company." Zhai Xinyi's worry flashed and she smiled again, "But it sounds quite exciting, Ranran's little spy."

"What spy? Don't talk nonsense. I must work properly and come back after getting the incense box."

"Just kidding." Zhai Xinyi calmed down, "But if you really want to go, you can't tell Grandpa Bai and my brother, they won't agree."

"I know, so I came to you to discuss it."

Zhai Xinyi paused, picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Discuss me? You obviously have an idea, come and join me."

Wen Ran did not deny it.

She has been docile since she was a child and has never done anything rebellious.

Now I feel a little guilty and a little scared.

Zhai Xinyi looked at Wen Ran with a finger and smiled: "Ran Ran, I support you."

“…”

"I just like to see you look bad." Zhai Xinyi thought she was so cute now.

Wen Ran: "...you have to help me."

Zhai Xinyi responded very generously: "Okay! Don't worry about giving it to me in Country M."

The night before returning to China, Wen Ran made cinnamon rolls that Bai Weiliang liked.

Bai Weiliang ate cinnamon rolls with black tea, but didn't know the purpose of Wen Ran's trip, so he said a lot:
