After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

After the specific decoration of the studio was completed, news came from Su Banxia soon.

[Ban Ge Xia Tian: Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, I just let you know that your studio is hiring, and a ton of painting students are already interested in joining you. I carefully screened them for you, and ultimately chose two outstanding painting majors, one male and one female. They both have excellent academic performance and excellent character. They often work part-time on campus, painting portraits for others, and have earned rave reviews from their classmates. I think they'd be perfect for you. What do you think?]

[D: Sure. Then ask them if they have time tomorrow afternoon so we can meet and discuss it in detail.]

[Ban Ge Xia Tian: OK, no problem. I'll contact them right away.]

【D: Okay, thank you for your hard work! 】

[Half Summer: Muah~ What's so hard about this? I love you!]

Qu Qingdai's face lit up with a smile. After sending Su Banxia a cute "I love you" emoji, she gently put down her phone. Then, she turned her attention to the stack of resumes for craftspeople Su Jingmo had sent her. These were candidates carefully screened by Su Jingmo's company's HR department. They had submitted their resumes along with their exquisite works of art. Now, these resumes, like precious treasures, had come to Qu Qingdai's care.

The number of craftsmen she wanted to recruit was relatively small, but the number of people who submitted resumes was countless. Su Jingmo's HR department had a relatively limited understanding of the craftsmen's skills and was unable to accurately screen them, so the final choice fell into Qu Qingdai's hands.

She looked carefully at the resumes in her mailbox and began to browse through them carefully, concentrating on finding those who met her requirements.

Once people have something to do, time seems to be accelerated, passing in a flash, and soon, the sky has darkened. At this time, Su Jingmo finished his day's work and returned from the company.

Su Jingmo stepped into the house, but did not see the figure he had been thinking about coming out to greet him. There were only a few sparse servants busy preparing dinner.

He frowned, looked at the housekeeper and asked, "Where is the madam?"

The butler replied respectfully, "Master, the Madam has been in the study since this afternoon, and seems to be looking over a resume."

Su Jingmo raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Have you seen it till now?"

"Yes." The butler nodded.

"Okay, I got it." After Su Jingmo finished speaking, he turned around and walked straight to the study with firm steps.

Qu Qingdai, immersed in her resume, didn't notice the study door opening and closing. She was concentrating on studying the craftsmen's works and carefully selecting them.

Su Jingmo tiptoed into the study. Seeing Qu Qingdai so focused, he couldn't help but slow down his steps, not wanting to disturb her. He stood quietly by her side, watching her sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes revealing a satisfied expression, his heart filled with tenderness.

After a while, Qu Qingdai seemed to notice something strange. She looked up and found Su Jingmo standing beside her, looking at her gently. A surprised smile appeared on her face and she quickly stood up.

"Amo, you're back!" Qu Qingdai said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Su Jingmo smiled and nodded, then walked over to sit beside her. Looking at the pile of printed resumes and works on the table, he said, "Haven't you chosen the employee you want yet? You were so engrossed that you didn't even notice me standing there for so long?"

"Hahaha, it's too difficult to choose. I have to choose carefully. I'm so conflicted. A-Mo, can you help me take a look?" Qu Qingdai picked up a resume and handed it to Su Jingmo, saying coquettishly.

Su Jingmo took the resume and read it carefully. As he read, he expressed his opinions from time to time and communicated with Qu Qingdai.

"The craftsman's skills seem very good, but the style may not be suitable for you. You are going for high-end quality, and this work is a bit popular." Su Jingmo said, pointing to a work.

Qu Qingdai nodded and said, "I feel the same way. However, we still need to take a closer look. Maybe there are other highlights."

The two of them flipped through the resumes one by one, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each craftsman, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes smiling, completely immersed in the selection process.

During the selection process, Su Jingmo discovered that Qu Qingdai had a unique understanding of the work of artisans. She was able to keenly capture the potential and value contained in every detail. He couldn't help but look at her with new eyes, and his admiration for her became even stronger.

"Qingdai, you are really amazing. Your understanding of these works is even deeper than mine." Su Jingmo said sincerely.

Qu Qingdai smiled and said, "No, no, I studied painting and have some knowledge of art. Plus, I enjoy these things, so I just look at them more carefully. However, I'm too conflicted about choosing the right person. You have more experience in judging and selecting people, so I'll have to rely on you!"

Su Jingmo held Qu Qingdai's hand and said, "Okay, let me help Daidai find the best craftsman."

As time went by, the two had already selected some resumes that they were more satisfied with. However, they did not relax at all and continued to carefully examine each work.

Suddenly, Qu Qingdai picked up a resume, a look of surprise on her face. She excitedly said to Su Jingmo, "Look, this craftsman's work is truly outstanding! His skills are superb, and his style is unique. I think he's a perfect fit for my design philosophy."

Su Jingmo took the resume, looked at the work carefully, and couldn't help but smile in appreciation. He said, "It's really good. It seems that our vision is very similar."

Qu Qingdai said excitedly, "Then let's choose him! I'm really looking forward to working with him."

Su Jingmo nodded and said, "Okay, that's settled. However, we still need to carefully consider other candidates. One person is not enough!"

"Okay, then choose again!"

"Ok!"

During the subsequent selection process, the two discovered some craftsmen with great potential. They exchanged their ideas with each other and discussed the strengths and weaknesses of each person.

Before I knew it, it had become completely dark.

"Oh, time flies so fast. I didn't even realize it's so late." Qu Qingdai looked at the time and said.

"Yes, it was already very late when I came back. The housekeeper and the others were already preparing dinner. Is Dai Dai hungry? The housekeeper said you didn't leave the study all afternoon."

"I... was watching so intently that I forgot the time. But now that you mention it, I'm a little hungry." Qu Qingdai touched her stomach and said to Su Jingmo.

Su Jingmo smiled, covered Qu Qingdai's hand with his, and said, "Then let's go to dinner. We have already selected a lot of excellent candidates, and we will just have to select them when the time comes."

"Okay, let's go downstairs and eat!"

Su Jingmo considerately tidied up Qu Qingdai's messy hair. The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of tenderness and tacit understanding.

They walked down the stairs hand in hand and came to the dining table. Su Jingmo pulled out a chair for Qu Qingdai, who sat down gracefully with a happy smile on her face. The two began to enjoy their dinner...

Qu Qingdai was enjoying her meal when she suddenly remembered something. She put down her chopsticks, looked at Su Jingmo, and said, "Jingmo, tomorrow afternoon I'm going to meet the two painting students that Su Banxia recommended to me to interview them to see if they're suitable for assistant positions."

Su Jingmo thought for a moment and said, "Recommended by Su Banxia? That shouldn't be bad. That girl has good taste."

Qu Qingdai nodded. "Yeah, I think they're good too. But I still need to interview them to see if their abilities and personalities are suitable for my studio."

Su Jingmo nodded, "Then you should investigate carefully."

Qu Qingdai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits."

As she spoke, Qu Qingdai picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat her dinner. Su Jingmo looked at her with eyes full of doting.

The next afternoon, Qu Qingdai arrived at the interview location as scheduled. She was dressed in a simple long dress, her hair casually tied up, looking elegant and calm. From a distance, she saw Su Banxia waving at her.

"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you are here!" Su Banxia saw Qu Qingdai, ran over to her side, and quickly took Qu Qingdai's hand.

"You, your second brother told me yesterday that you were reliable. Seeing how reckless you are, I'm a little skeptical!" Qu Qingdai said with a smile in her eyes.

"Oh, I just saw my second sister-in-law was excited! She can't doubt my choice just because of such a small matter!"

"Hahahaha, you're just kidding! Let's go. Don't keep those two students waiting for too long."

"Yeah, follow me!"

Su Banxia took Qu Qingdai into the small box. The moment she opened the door, Qu Qingdai saw two classmates, one boy and one girl, both dressed appropriately. When they saw her, the two students immediately stood up straight nervously.

Qu Qingdai smiled, her eyes revealing gentleness and expectation. She observed the two students carefully, capturing some details from their behavior and expressions.

"Don't be nervous. Let's treat today as an artistic exchange. Please sit down." Qu Qingdai said softly.

The two students sat down nervously, their eyes a little reserved. One of them stammered, "Hello, Teacher Grace. I'm glad to have the opportunity to interview you."

Qu Qingdai smiled and responded: "Don't be nervous, just relax."

"Hahaha, yes, my second sister-in-law is not a man-eating tiger. Don't be afraid, just show your best attitude!" Su Banxia said with a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"Yes, Xia Xia is right. Relax and don't panic. Who of you would like to introduce yourselves first? And then tell us your views on applying painting to jewelry." Qu Qingdai looked at them gently and said.

"Me, I'll go first!" The girl wearing large black glasses took a deep breath and began, "Hello, Teacher Grace. My name is Bai Qing. I have a strong interest in painting, especially oil painting, so I chose to major in painting. I have been working hard to learn and improve my skills. Whenever I have free time, I will go to crowded places to set up a stall and help tourists paint for free. This not only improves my painting skills, but also allows me to record beautiful moments. I think painting can be combined with jewelry making. By drawing unique patterns on jewelry, it can add artistic charm to the jewelry. I hope you can consider me."

After the girl finished speaking, another boy introduced himself: "My name is Ling Xiao. I like all forms of painting and have participated in some painting competitions. Although my rankings are not very high, the most important thing is that I participated, and I have gained a lot from the competitions. I think there are many ways to incorporate painting elements into jewelry design, such as using enamel to create exquisite patterns, or inlaying gemstones to create a painterly effect, which can make jewelry more personalized and creative. This is my introduction and opinion."

Qu Qingdai nodded and said, "Well, your ideas are very good. Did you encounter any difficulties in your creation? How did you overcome them?"

Bai Qing thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes I run out of inspiration. I'll look at some excellent works to get inspiration, or go out for a walk to relax."

Ling Xiao also said: "I also encounter technical difficulties, and I will solve them through continuous practice and asking teachers for advice."

Qu Qingdai then raised some practical painting questions and asked them to create on the spot. She stood quietly by and watched them pick up their brushes and devote themselves to their creations with full concentration.

During the creative process, Qu Qingdai would occasionally whisper, "The colors here could be richer," or "The composition could be adjusted."

The two students listened carefully to her suggestions and worked hard to adjust their paintings.

After they finished their work, Qu Qingdai carefully examined the two pieces of work, sometimes leaning in to observe details, sometimes stepping back to examine the whole, her expression sometimes pensive, sometimes revealing a satisfied smile.

Afterwards, Qu Qingdai had some exchanges with them on artistic concepts and creative ideas.

Qu Qingdai asked, "Do you have any plans for your future painting career? Do you have any further ideas about incorporating painting into jewelry making?"

Bai Qing said firmly, "I hope to continuously improve my painting skills and create more excellent works. I want to use more painting techniques and elements in jewelry making to create a unique jewelry series."

Ling Xiao also said: "I want to delve deeper into the field of painting and explore more possibilities. At the same time, I will strengthen my study of jewelry making techniques, better integrate painting and jewelry making, and create works with greater artistic value."

Finally, Qu Qingdai smiled and said to them, "Today's interview ends here. Thank you for participating. I will seriously consider your performance and give you a reply later."

The two students stood up, thanked Qu Qingdai, and left the room.

At this point, only Qu Qingdai and Su Banxia were left in the box. While Qu Qingdai was interviewing the two students, Su Banxia had been watching quietly from the side. After the two students left, Su Banxia approached Qu Qingdai, nudged her gently with her elbow, and whispered, "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, what do you think of them?"

"Well...what do you think, Xia Xia?" Qu Qingdai smiled slightly and deliberately threw the question back to Su Banxia.

"This...how would I understand? I'm not a professional." Su Banxia scratched her head and continued, "But seeing that you two are having such a pleasant chat, you should be satisfied with them, second sister-in-law..." As she spoke, she looked at Qu Qingdai tentatively.

Qu Qingdai looked at the cunning Su Banxia in front of her, reached out her hand unhappily, gently tapped her forehead, and said, "I'm indeed quite satisfied, and this is all thanks to you!"

"Hahaha, do they both pass?" Su Banxia asked excitedly.

"Of course, we will inform them later that their interviews are successful. Once the studio is settled, we will notify them to come to work." Qu Qingdai said in a firm tone.

"Yeah! That's great, long live second sister-in-law!" Su Banxia danced with joy.

"You, you, come on, I'll take you back to school!" Qu Qingdai said helplessly.

"Yeah!" Su Banxia nodded repeatedly, a happy smile on her face.
