She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.
Chapter 182 The Final Hymn
Summer sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Shen Qingge's office, illuminating her exquisite makeup.
She stared absently at the computer screen, browsing various jewelry forums and social media updates.
Ever since Gu Tingyu released those messages, the entire jewelry industry has been in an uproar.
Shocking! Chenxing Jewelry's "Radiant Splendor" collection may be its last!
Breaking news: Chief designer Su Maiqi is temporarily absent from work due to a car accident and will be unable to return in the short term.
An insider at Chenxing revealed that the newly appointed project manager, Amy, is taking over the relevant work.
Exclusive: El Encanto de España's collaboration with Chenxing may be delayed; a new date has not yet been set.
Interview: A leading collector discusses the collectible value of the "Radiant Splendor" series.
These messages spread like ripples across the internet, sparking wave after wave of heated discussions.
This topic has dominated discussion threads on major jewelry forums, and even some high-end buyer groups are discussing it enthusiastically.
"Oh my god! I absolutely have to buy a set of 'Radiant Light'; this might be designer Su's final masterpiece!"
"I've already instructed my Hong Kong buyers to keep an eye on Chenxing's stores; we'll buy them as soon as they're available!"
"I heard that some people are already buying it at a higher price. Isn't this the legendary 'when it's out of stock, it's at its peak'?"
"I just contacted the store in Shenzhen, and they've already started limiting purchases to two items per person."
"This is insane! My WeChat Moments are flooded with people asking to buy the 'Radiant Light' item. Someone's willing to pay 1.5 times the original price!"
"Not only the new products, but even the 'Endless Covenant' and 'Key to the Heart' series are selling like hotcakes."
Shen Qingge's gaze lingered on a data chart.
Within just one week, sales of Chenxing Jewelry's "Radiant Splendor" series surged by 300%, with nearly all items sold out both online and offline.
Even more surprisingly, this craze has led to a surge in sales of Sumaiqi's previously designed "Endless Promise" and "Key to the Heart" series, with many styles experiencing stockouts.
Her slender fingers tapped unconsciously on the solid wood desk, the originally steady rhythm gradually becoming rapid.
The cicadas chirped incessantly outside the window, seemingly echoing her restless emotions.
Although Shen's Jewelry has recently seen a good increase in sales due to the influencer marketing effect.
In particular, the "Violet Love" series sold very well through Su Wanyu's live broadcast room.
However, she was still extremely unhappy about Chenxing's surge in orders.
"Madam," the assistant knocked gently, "we just received the latest market update report."
Shen Qingge took the document and quickly browsed through it.
The report details the market response in major cities: at the K11 store in Shanghai, a collector purchased ten sets of "Radiant Light" in one go;
At Beijing SKP, the wife of a certain entrepreneur declared she was willing to pay a high price to buy out-of-stock items; even stores in second-tier cities were packed with people.
Industry experts have published articles analyzing the collection value of these works, saying that they perfectly blend the characteristics of Eastern and Western aesthetics, possessing both the understated elegance of the East and the luxurious grandeur of the West.
Su Maiqi was the most promising jewelry designer after Miss Y, but her career ended in a car accident.
"Damn it!" Shen Qingge muttered through gritted teeth, her knuckles turning white from the force.
She stood up and walked to the window, where people were coming and going on the street below.
Sunlight shone on the glass curtain wall, refracting a dazzling light that reminded her of the sparkling diamonds in the "Radiant Light" series.
However, thinking about Su Maiqi's current situation, she felt a little better.
The car rammed into the rear passenger side, originally intending to kill Su Maiqi.
Unexpectedly, he survived by sheer luck. The police report stated that he suffered a severe head injury and is likely to never be able to carry out his design work again.
My phone vibrated again, this time with a message from Hong Kong: Mr. Zheng, a famous jewelry collector, had just acquired a complete set of the "Radiant Splendor" limited edition jewelry at a high price through personal connections.
It is said that the offer is far higher than the original price, and they even said that if someone is willing to transfer the business, the price can be increased further.
"Heh," Shen Qingge sneered, her slender fingers lightly tracing the rim of the crystal glass, "They really know how to create hype."
"So what if she's the president's wife? She got injured, so isn't she just becoming a tool for Gu Tingyu to hype up and make money?"
A cold smile crept across her lips as she walked to the other end of the office.
There was a full-length mirror there, and the woman in the mirror was elegant and dignified, but her eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
She recalled Su Maiqi's experience; she was just an unknown designer at Chenxing, who was ostracized and only entered into a wealthy family through a marriage contract.
Now, things have gotten so good that the works are almost becoming "masterpieces passed down through generations".
But soon, she smiled again.
Since the person is already ruined, what's the use of cheering anymore?
This frenzied adoration is nothing more than the final glory.
A few white clouds drifted leisurely across the distant horizon.
Shen Qingge picked up her phone and continued browsing the online comments.
The hype has only grown, with various experts sharing their insights.
Some say this is a milestone in Eastern jewelry design, while others lament the loss of such a talented designer, which is truly a pity.
A senior industry commentator even published a lengthy article:
"Su Maiqi's designs have a unique personal style. She is adept at perfectly blending traditional Eastern elements with modern aesthetics. Each piece contains profound meaning and tells a moving story."
Now that she has temporarily left the jewelry industry due to injury, the artistic and collectible value of these works will be greatly enhanced.
In particular, the 'Radiant Light' series is very likely to be her final work, and its value is immeasurable.
Looking at these comments, Shen Qingge suddenly felt much better. Yes, what harm is there in letting the market go crazy for a while longer?
Anyway, the rival she was jealous of has been permanently eliminated from the competition.
As the sun sets, the light in the office gradually dims.
The distant sky was dyed a brilliant orange-red by the sunset, like a burning flame.
Shen Qingge remained standing by the window, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
As dusk settles outside the window, one bright light after another illuminates the bustling city that never sleeps.
Let Su Maqi's works shine one last time, and let the market sing her final hymn.
What does it matter how popular a designer's work is, if she can never return to her job? Let this final highlight be a farewell gift to her.
Since the person is already ruined, nothing else matters.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingge's depression vanished.
She returned to her desk, gracefully picked up the now-cold cup of coffee, and took a small sip.
The bitter taste spread across her tongue, but it only made her feel more cheerful.
She was very satisfied with this outcome. Extremely satisfied.
For a person who has lost their way, all their talents are now a thing of the past.
But Shen Qingge's opportunity was yet to come.
