The man was suddenly "knocked on the chair" by his fiancée. He raised his hand to push up his sunglasses to hide his embarrassment, then slowly reached out to the girl's lower back, "You mean, I asked Aunt Zhang to help me prepare the side dishes..."

"Don't give me a perfunctory answer! You know I'm talking about a competition!" Bai Shuiru quickly slapped the man's big hand away and pinched his nose. "Answer my question seriously, Hei Huo Mian!"

Bai Shuiru raised her eyebrows slightly, but kept muttering in her heart:

You should quickly say "I didn't, I didn't, stop talking nonsense!" Quadruple denial!

Say it quickly!

Hei Huomian tilted his head slightly, with his lips of moderate thickness curved upward, as if waiting for something.

Sure enough, Bai Shuiru pouted his lips in an instant, grabbed Hei Huomian's tie, lowered his head and muttered in frustration:

"Hei Huo Mian~, I know you want to create an opportunity for me to enter the design center legitimately, and I understand your good intentions. However, it was me who proposed to participate in the open competition, so I can naturally accept any result of the competition; and I don’t have to enter Ming Xin’s brand design center. I have enough food and clothing, but others may need the opportunity to help them realize their dreams more than I do."

"The most important thing is that my dream is just a dream. Other people's dreams also take time and effort, and carry all their hopes for life." She raised her eyes to the man, and asked softly with expectation but caution:

"Hei Huo Mian~, you can definitely understand me, right?"

Hei Huo Mian kept smiling, hugged the girl's waist, and made her sit on his lap. Then he replied solemnly and slowly:

"They really should have their salary, performance and year-end bonuses docked for leaking the results of the game in advance. This way you won't have any surprises on Monday."

"Are you admitting it now?!" Bai Shuiru quickly struggled out of the man's arms, angrily jumped onto the desk, kicked away the leather chair where Hei Huomian was sitting, and kicked it twice more, causing the man to spin around 3 or 4 times on the swivel chair before stopping.

The little girl casually grabbed the grapes that Hei Huo Mian had prepared for her on the table, threw seven or eight at the man, and then snorted:

"If you, the chairman, hadn't asked someone to manipulate the situation behind the scenes, would the champion be me, a rookie who is always scolded by the director?" She pouted her lips and bit off two grapes, chewing and mumbling:

"I've seen Qin Xi's design, it's better than mine!"

Hei Huomian confirmed that his family member had calmed down a little, then he stood up and strode towards her, held her face in his hands, tilted his head and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"Bai Shuiru~, do you have so little confidence in yourself? Do you also have so little confidence in the character of Hei Huomian?"

She jumped off the table, grabbed his tie and pulled him to the table, stuffed the mouse into his hand, and ordered:

"I don't care, the champion must be Qin Xi! You must let him enter the design center and get the designer position with an annual salary of 60."

"It's not easy for the three of them." Bai Shuiru hugged Hei Huomian's arm and shook it, begging, acting coquettishly:

"They deserve to be rewarded for their hard work, and God should compensate them."

"God?" Hei Huomian raised his dark eyebrows and followed Bai Shuiru's gaze to the ceiling. "Yes, God should compensate them, then let God compensate them. I am just an evil capitalist who is profit-seeking, has no conscience, and vows to squeeze the last drop of blood and sweat of the poor working people. What does it have to do with me~?"

Bai Shuiru quickly jumped off the table, hugged Hei Huomian's arm and shook him, coaxing him in a tender voice:

"My Mengmeng is not that kind of person! You are upright, kind, filial, loving, caring for your country, benevolent and compassionate. You are a gentleman with a bright and clear mind."

Hei Huomian's eyes slowly turned back to his fiancée's face, and he pointed his index finger at his right cheek, pecking it lightly and swiftly.

Heihuo Mian then tapped his left cheek, the center of his eyebrows and his lips in turn, and Baishui Ru followed suit without missing a single point.

The young couple looked into each other's eyes and couldn't help but hug and kiss each other repeatedly. Finally, they both ended the kissing game with red faces and slight panting.

Hei Huomian glanced at the message Li You sent him, handed the phone to Bai Shuiru, and signaled her to check the information of Qin Xi and the other three.

Bai Shuiru pushed the phone away without even looking at it, put her hands on her hips, raised her head and said proudly:

"Listen to the verdict I saw. It was full of twists and turns and very touching!"

Hei Huomian stretched out his arms and motioned the little girl to come into his arms.

He held the tender and soft girl in his arms with one hand and stroked a strand of her hair with the other, listening to her tell a more sad and touching story:

Fifteen years ago, Wanlan and Wanche's mother was one of the top five computer hackers in the world at the time, and their father was a Michelin three-star chef.

Because An's father unfortunately suffers from a rare terminal illness and requires a large amount of medical expenses.

In order to quickly earn enough commission to treat her lover, Wan's mother reluctantly accepted the employment of a wealthy foreign businessman:

Stealing business secrets and unethical privacy secrets of business rivals.

However, Wan's mother was unexpectedly caught by Qin Xi's designer mother during the stealing process, and she had to stop stealing.

However, what is dramatic is that Wan's mother's second and third actions were still not completed due to the unexpected appearance of Qin's mother.

Wan's mother suddenly realized:

It seemed that she had successfully demonstrated her talent and earned glory; but in fact, she could not appear in front of the world with the glory and enjoy the worship and cheers; those "great achievements" she created were, without a doubt, against morality and law; so God sent Qin's mother to stop and rescue her;

At the same time, the conflict in An's mother's heart intensified: if she gave up the rich businessman's commission, she would not be able to save An's father's increasingly shorter life, and would not be able to continue her relationship with her husband, her children and their father; if she could earn this last commission, not only would she have enough money to temporarily postpone and alleviate her husband's pain, but she could even use it as research funds to give hope to those who have or may suffer from the same disease in the future.

Qin's mother, who had become close friends with Wan's father and mother, felt guilty for interrupting their plans. She begged for forgiveness and gave all her savings to the Wan family for medical expenses, and at the same time asked Wan's mother to give up her employment.

The wealthy businessman was furious about this, and not only did he betray Wan's mother, causing her to be arrested and imprisoned, but he also framed Qin's mother, who had been scolded for his failed pursuit, and fabricated false evidence to disgrace her and imprison her for plagiarism and selling business secrets.

Wan's father, who had just managed to control his illness, ran around to rescue Wan's mother and Qin's mother, and was so exhausted that he died suddenly of his illness.

The rich businessman still felt unsatisfied, so he sent people to rape Wan's mother and then killed her in prison.

Bai Shuiru paused here and wanted to leave a suspense, but was interrupted by Hei Huomian:

"Wait, when can you see it again?" Hei Huomian quickly corrected:

"I mean, can you see their verdict?"

Bai Shuiru blinked, suppressed the doubts that quietly rose in her heart, and smiled:

"Want to know?" She reached out and pinched the other person's cheek. "Just listen to me finish this story first, and I'll tell you slowly some other day~!"

In the days that followed, the three children, Qin Xi, Wan Lan and Wan Che, were adopted by different families and suffered severe abuse; Wan Che in particular, who was only 2 or 3 years old, was repeatedly forced to drink strong liquor by his "sister" who returned to her mother's home after the divorce, until he fell into a coma from alcohol poisoning.

Fortunately, after waking up from the rescue, Wan Che showed unparalleled talent for computers, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.

At the same time, fortunately, Qin Xi had prepared a watch phone for Wanlan and Wanche respectively, and asked them to try their best to hide them.

Qin Xi escaped the sexual harassment of the adoptive family many times, and used his time to help the neighbors deliver newspapers, buy cigarettes and other odd errands to save some money, which enabled him to arrive in time to stop the adoptive family who intended to molest Wanlan's brother and sister.

The three children were reunited after great difficulty. They fled their adoptive family and reported the case, which enabled law enforcement agencies to intervene in the investigation and eventually convict and sentence the suspect.

In order to avenge her best friend and herself, Qin's mother found the rich businessman and sent a message requesting a meeting.

Qin's mother was thus successfully released from prison in a low-key manner. She pretended to please the rich businessman, trying to find evidence of his crime, but the rich businessman was alerted and imprisoned again.

After waking up, Qin's mother realized that the culprit was not the wealthy businessman, but his powerful wife. It was the evil desire of the wealthy businessman's wife in the political circle that caused her...

Qin's mother eventually died tragically for the same reason as her best friend.

From then on, the three children, whose youngest was no more than 8 years old and whose oldest was no more than 12 years old, began to depend on each other for survival and share each other's joys and sorrows.

Five years ago, the three children worked out a sophisticated plan and eventually found the evidence of the wealthy couple's guilt, which was quickly announced to the world. The solid evidence not only caused the wealthy couple's political party to lose the election, but the couple were also thrown into prison and finally committed suicide.

After everything was settled, Qin Xi and the other two used their jia passports to return to Biluo Country to settle down and return to ordinary people's lives.

"A sophisticated plan?" Hei Huomian sneered, and as he spoke, he brought the last bite of orange cake on the small silver spoon to Bai Shuiru's lips, "That's just because they haven't met anyone with the means."

"Oh my!" Bai Shuiru punched Hei Huomian on the shoulder coquettishly, and was about to stand up from his legs and leave, but was quickly grabbed by the man and pushed back onto his legs.

Hei Huomian coaxed Bai Shuiru a lot, and Bai Shuiru just opened her mouth and ate the cake. After chewing and swallowing quickly, she put her hands on her hips, raised her chin and asked:

"So, are they unfortunate and worthy of sympathy?"

Hei Huomian put down the empty plate, put his hands on the armrests of the leather chair, and gently tapped the leather with his long, well-proportioned fingers, smiling, "Bai Shuiru, if you want to talk to me about fairness, justice, and openness, then we should put aside all personal family and experience factors, and only look at whether the other party can, after going through all kinds of things, wrap the sharp sand, that is, the wounded heart, with pearl, that is, strength and optimism, and turn it into a pearl shining with rainbow light - that is, the design work itself."

"Look if you want~!" Bai Shuiru turned her head away in anger, but the man gently pinched her round chin and turned her face to look at her, "Bai Shuiru, please tell me the conditions that a qualified jewelry design must have."

The little girl glared at the man, turned her head away, puffed out her cheeks, pouted her lips, and responded:

“The purpose and significance of jewelry design is to show its decorative beauty through design, to become a carrier of emotions, to give jewelry a soul, and to increase the value of gemstones.”

"Jewelry design should be based on the customer's occupation, personality and other individual characteristics to design jewelry that completely suits the customer, and also set off the customer's temperament, connotation and aura. This is the beauty of the jewelry."

“Emotional carrier: Life will pass away, but the perfect jewelry design will carry his/her story forever, passed down from generation to generation, and sung forever.”

“Designers put their heart and soul into designing, and gem craftsmen carefully craft it, and naturally this gift from nature - jewelry - will contain a unique soul in the world.”

“Nature has spent tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years to create unique natural gemstones, and it also presents us with a challenge when we discover them. Only with unique design, ingenious cutting and inlaying can natural stones that are not very valuable be transformed from decayed to magical works of art, thus increasing their value by a hundred times and attracting the attention and admiration of the world!”

Hei Huomian nodded and praised:

"Very good answer. Then let's take a look at the entry by Qin Xi, which you regard as a classic."

Hei Huomian opened the internal system of Ming Xin, logged into his account and retrieved Qin Xi's entry. "Let's not talk about the main entry, how do you think he did with the additional questions?"

At the beginning, Hei Huo Mian could not resist Bai Shui Ru's decision to open the competition to the public and invite social personnel other than Ming Xin employees to participate for selection, so he specially designed and added a condition for participation:

Additional question on “Scenario”.

In addition to submitting a design that they are most satisfied with, the contestants must also randomly select a design "scenario" topic:

According to the needs of customers in this scenario, one of three groups of different materials is selected to customize jewelry that meets the corresponding functional requirements.

The additional question Qin Xi drew was:

Design an engagement ring that can make the person being proposed to feel eternal happiness, family warmth, infinite security, and a vow that lasts until death.

The ring designed by Qin Xi is a platinum ring inlaid with black opal, crushed diamonds, turquoise, and a lake shape surrounded by castles and mountains.

The castle is dotted with spires and its stained glass windows are magnificent. The rolling green mountains make the lake sparkle even more beautiful, making you want to live here forever.

After Hei Huomian's reminder, Bai Shuiru was already embarrassed when she appreciated this work again. She pursed her lips and thought about what she thought when she first saw this design:

In fact, when I was discussing the design with Qin Xi, I noticed the flaws in the design of this additional question, but I was not able to point it out to him directly at that time.

So, am I really too subjective, just sympathizing and praising Qin Xi's works by stepping on myself?

Bai Shuiru heard Hei Huomian's knuckles tapping lightly on the armrest of the chair. She quickly glanced at him, stuck out her tongue quickly, picked up a pen and pointed at the screen. She cleared her throat and began to introduce Qin Xi's work:

“I chose this free-form opal as the main stone because the person I am proposing to is an eternally brilliant, dreamy and precious existence in my mind. She is the beautiful “lake” that is forever protected and cherished by the mountains and castles. Its gorgeous color change is exactly what I firmly believe:

If she lives with me, it will be the safe, warm, stable and wonderful home she dreams of. "

"In order to create a mirror-like lake, I cut and polished the originally random black opal into a mirror-like surface, and made good use of the scraps and mixed them with broken diamonds to inlay on the castle, which became a warm and romantic stained glass window through the lights. The mountains are inlaid with turquoise with undulating patterns, highlighting the green and steepness of the mountains."

Bai Shuiru paused here, changed his role, returned to the perspective of a bystander, and sighed with regret:

"But he didn't take into account one problem in his design, and this is fatal."
