Early the next morning, He Jingnian devoted himself fully to the drawing of the design drawings.For a whole week, I went to the studio before dawn, and stayed up late before going back.
Every day, Zhu Jingyuan could see Shen Tangfeng coming to pick him up, take him out for dinner, and when she was free, she would sit by his side to accompany him. With that gentle and considerate appearance, she was always envious of the dead.Looking at it, Zhu Jingyuan deeply felt that the curly-haired ex-husband really had no chance at all.
A few times, when Zhu Jingyuan went in to deliver things, she saw He Jingnian falling asleep on the table, Shen Tangfeng gently carried him to the sofa to sleep, and leaned over to cover him with a warm blanket.I just felt the atmosphere of this idol drama, and in a blink of an eye, I caught a glimpse of the "Peacock Prince" spread out on the table.
Could it be that he has been flipping through this book... Zhu Jingyuan thought so, and just as she walked over to put the book away, when she saw the cover, she suddenly had a subtle sense of sight, as if at this very moment, the room There is another person, the ghost is generally invisible, but does exist.
She shook her head, feeling really nervous.
A few days later, the studio visited an unexpected guest.Qian Mingquan came with four attendants, like a leader inspecting work, and came down with arrogance and arrogance.Two assistants opened the door for him, one on the left and one on the right, before he stepped in slowly.
Why just slap a bigger place?Qian Mingquan rolled his eyes and looked around.Not only is the place small, but the decoration inside is also very simple, not to mention comparing with my own, it doesn't even look like a custom-made jewelry.Moreover, the bare stone display cabinet is full of inconspicuous small particles. Come on, these crushed stones are good enough to be used as matching stones, right?
It seems that the real situation is not different from what I have investigated. The ex-wife of the chairman and her ex-husband have completely broken up.It's a pity that the mess is really not good, it can be described as miserable.
Thinking of this, Qian Mingquan couldn't help shaking his head, almost sympathizing with He Jingnian.As far as Yuan Cisheng's net worth is concerned, even if there is a leak between his fingers, it is enough for him to become a high-end independent brand in the industry. Why is it so poor and pitiful like it is now.
After a while, a young man came out with a girl.Qian Mingquan saw that the girl was an assistant, so he sat down unceremoniously and said, "Cappuccino with ice but no sugar, thank you."
Zhu Jingyuan looked at him.
Qian Mingquan knocked on the coffee table impatiently, "Designer's time is very precious, hasn't your boss taught you that?"
"Wait a minute." He Jingnian handed a small black metal box to Zhu Jingyuan, "You return it for me." Then he turned to make coffee.
Qian Mingquan's eyes flicked past the small box, he didn't pay much attention to it, and instead admired the way He Jingnian made coffee for him proudly.
Unexpectedly, at such a young age, this person is still knowledgeable about current affairs, knowing that a phoenix that has shed its feathers is not as good as a chicken, Qian Mingquan thought.After being kicked away by her husband and deprived of protection, how can such a person with no money and no background survive in the industry, can he earn a living just by relying on talent?
However, Qian Mingquan didn't know that in the small black box that was taken out just now, rows and rows of precious gemstones of various colors were embedded.
The original chairman didn't know what kind of bare stones his poor ex-wife, who was precarious in the eyes of outsiders, needed, so he could only pick out the big and full ones from the jewelry warehouse like picking peanuts for him.
From uniaxial crystals such as ruby, emerald, and sapphire, to biaxial crystals such as tanzanite, moonstone, and peridot, to homogeneous bodies such as diamonds and spinels, everything is available.Each one, regardless of color, fire or purity, is the ultimate in this category.This small box of things is definitely the unattainable dream of any big collector, and it is enough to make any designer crazy about it.
However, when He Jingnian heard that it was from him, he immediately closed the lid of the box coldly and pushed it aside.It seems that what is contained in it is not a rare treasure that others dream of, but a pile of broken stones.
"Please." He Jingnian put a cup of hot coffee to Qian Mingquan's hand, but Qian Mingquan didn't thank him, just nodded his chin slightly.He Jingnian sat down opposite him, and he didn't know what he was doing, but it definitely wouldn't be a good thing.
Sure enough, Qian Mingquan first put on the identity of a senior in the industry and commented on his previous design works.Then, he moved out his various glorious deeds and began to teach him some necessary life experiences.
He Jingnian looked at the big greasy and arrogant face in front of him, his mind was buzzing.Although he doesn't want to admit it, he has actually been a bit of a beauty control since he was a child, and he has always liked beautiful things and beautiful things.Now that such a face is turned on him, he is really uncomfortable, both physically and psychologically.
"Well... May I ask if you have anything else to do?" He Jingnian couldn't help but said, "I have something to do later."
Qian Mingquan's face darkened, very unhappy.This young man really doesn't know what is good and what is bad, he thought he was relying on such a big tree as Shengheng?I don't know who has the final say in the designer circle now!
"I'm here today. Firstly, I want to meet you. After all, you are a young talent whom both Eudora and Qi Wei are full of praise." Qian Mingquan said, "Secondly, it's because of this auction. You now Do you have an idea, an idea?"
He Jingnian said: "I have been reading Troitsky's works before, and I just started drawing design drafts a few days ago."
"Why are you looking at those? Isn't it a waste of time?" Qian Mingquan sipped his coffee loudly, "Hey, it's your first time to participate in such a grand event. It's understandable that you are young and inexperienced."
He Jingnian frowned, "But, since it's an auction designed for a birthday, you should know more about it beforehand, right? Isn't it disrespectful to the writer?"
"What do you know?" Qian Mingquan waved his hand impatiently, "Are you designing jewelry or playing word games, please figure it out!"
He is used to bossing around the staff around him, and he will not take He Jingnian seriously. "Forget it, you just take out the design draft first, and draw wherever you want, and I will give you pointers."
He Jingnian was taken aback for a moment, this man is really sick, not only seriously ill.How can a designer lightly ask people for a draft?What's more, two people have to participate in the same event.It's too late for normal people to avoid controversy, okay?
"Dong Dong!" Qian Mingquan tapped on the tea table, "What are you thinking, let me talk to you."
"My design draft is not worth your time, if you have nothing to do, please come back." He Jingnian stood up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.
Qian Mingquan leaned back, put his arms on the armrest of the sofa, and said displeasedly: "I want to help you out of good intentions, why don't you know how to flatter me? When the time comes to design a messy finished product, it will make everyone in the industry Where do you put your face?"
As he spoke, he raised one eyelid to observe He Jingnian's reaction, and felt that the more he looked at the other, the easier it was to bully him.Sure, otherwise, how could he be swept out of the house by that black-hearted and unscrupulous foreign devil?
However, it must be a soft persimmon, which is easy to handle and control.
"Xiao He, I am also a newcomer, and I know how difficult it is to walk along the way, so I have to cherish my future more, don't I?"
As he said that, Qian Mingquan reached out to pat He Jingnian's shoulder, but was avoided calmly.He immediately became angry, his face sank, and he said: "I am willing to teach you to save face, and you are considered talented. I don't want to waste time for ordinary people."
"What do you mean?" He Jingnian said angrily, "Why do you have to read my design draft? This is a violation of the regulations."
Qian Mingquan sneered, "Do you know how difficult it is to fight alone in this circle? Now, I am willing to let you join my studio to provide you with a reliable platform and give you a chance to stand out. I will correct Your design, which will be the work of our studio, will amaze the industry at this auction."
He Jingnian was speechless, "So... you want to recruit me to draw a design draft for you, and finally sign your name to make it your work?"
"Why, do you find it difficult to accept?" Qian Mingquan said, "But for most newcomers, this is the best and only choice." After a pause, he smiled: "No matter where , The law of the jungle is the same rule. You have to believe that I have many ways and know many people, enough to make your efforts go to waste, and you will no longer be able to gain a foothold in this industry.”
This is really not a threat. So far, he has obtained works full of aura and imagination that he will never be able to design from several newcomers who have just left the campus.Including the one that made him on the power list this time, it also came from a young designer.
That silly boy has been working hard since he entered his studio, and he was so happy knowing that he was going to declare his work for the award, but on the day of the award ceremony, when he heard that the winner's name was not his, he burst into tears .
He Jingnian nodded, "Finished?"
Qian Mingquan's face turned cold, and he announced a series of names of famous people, all of whom were leaders of industry associations and other big figures. "Don't think too highly of yourself, do you think that Qi Wei's appreciation is enough? Anyone here can make you unable to hang out in this circle anymore. One wrong step and one wrong step, understand? "
He Jingnian lowered his head and remained silent for a while.Qian Mingquan knew that he was about to succumb, and he was proud of himself. When he thought that the other party was the foreign devil's ex-wife, his pride doubled.
At that time, he wanted to put the studio under the name of Sheng Heng, but he was rejected again and again, and he didn't even touch the side of the gate.Now it's all right, even if he can't take revenge on the foreign devil, he can finally vent his anger on the foreign devil's ex-wife.
"I understand." He Jingnian said in a low voice.
"Just understand." Qian Mingquan stretched out his hand, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation..."
"I finally understand how your award-winning excellent designs came about." He Jingnian looked at him and smiled, "How could a vulgar person like you design such works. Relying on yourself Don’t you feel ashamed to deceive, suppress, and use those young people who really love jewelry design? Don’t you feel disgusted and shameful when you see your own face in the mirror?”
"You...!" Qian Mingquan's complexion changed drastically, turning pale.He was scolded by a soft persimmon!Even his father never scolded him!
"When I think of participating in this auction with you, my design will be placed with your stolen goods, I feel that my hard work has been tarnished." He Jingnian raised his hand and picked up the coffee cup on the coffee table , Throw it into the trash can with a "bang".It's so dirty, so dirty!
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for using stolen goods for charity? Being a thief and doing it confidently, I really opened my eyes, aren't you afraid that one day everyone will know about it!"
"If you have the ability, sue me!" Qian Mingquan stood up, his face turned purple, and he felt that his whole body was going to burst in the next second.He pointed at He Jingnian with his index finger, and cursed: "What are you! You are worthy to blame me? You think you are the chairman's wife? Bah! It's just a rotten person who was tired of being played by that foreign devil. It's just dirt! How much do you think you're worth?"
Several people behind him surrounded him with unfriendly expressions, approaching He Jingnian step by step, and intimidation like this was also one of his usual methods.The rookie designers he targets are often the ones who come to big cities alone to work hard. They have no one to help, and they can't help being intimidated. They don't need to do anything to completely scare people.
"I warn you, if you dare to talk nonsense outside, don't blame me for breaking your hand!" Qian Mingquan yelled viciously, trying to push He Jingnian against the wall and grab his wrist.
At this moment, the glass door was smashed open, and a group of well-trained security guards descended from the sky, completely blocking the inside and outside of the studio.They were all tall, athletic, and well-trained. With lightning speed, they firmly controlled Qian Mingquan's group and pressed them down in front of He Jingnian in a row.
He Jing was dumbfounded, and Zhu Jingyuan, who came across this scene just after returning, was also dumbfounded.Is the quality of shopping mall security so high now!Aren't these tower-like men really retired special forces or professional bodyguards who were former Sanda champions?
"My God, Shen Tangfeng didn't hire a group of people to ambush you in the mall 24 hours a day to protect you?" Zhu Jingyuan walked over tremblingly, "This is too exaggerated. Besides, we don't have any valuable stones here that people will miss. ?”
"Protecting the safety of every lessee is both a duty and a mission." The chief security guard said in a loud voice, and Zhu Jingyuan felt that he gave her a big eye in displeasure.
Qian Mingquan and the others were still screaming and struggling desperately, but it was useless. The big security guards treated them as if they were playing games. They only needed one hand to treat them like the prisoners before beheading. Press firmly on the coffee table.
At the beginning, Qian Mingquan was still stubborn, cursing at the top of his voice: "I'm going to find the owner of this mall! Let him fire all of you watchdogs!" As soon as he said this, the security guards were shocked. The buddies all laughed, and the air was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.
Qian Mingquan was furious, "You...what are you laughing at!"
The big security guard was even happier, and with a little force on his fingers, Qian Mingquan's wrist joints squeaked, causing his face to contort in pain, and he began to howl loudly.
"Mr. He, how do you want us to deal with these people?"
"Take them all out, don't let them in again." He Jingnian said.Qian Mingquan was only a verbal threat, he didn't really do anything, and he couldn't do anything to them
The big security guard nodded, accurately implementing He Jingnian's meaning, and with a wave of his thick and powerful arm, he threw the men out in a parabola shape, stacking them one on top of the other into sandbags on the ground.
The rest of the security guards didn't leave either, they took out their aprons and gloves from their bags in unison, dressed them neatly, took out mops, rags, disinfectant and air fresheners, and cleaned the studio for He Jingnian .After a while, the tiles on the walls were shining brightly, and there was no trace left by Qian Mingquan and others. It was hard not to suspect that their job was probably cleaning...
"Then let's take our leave first." Just as the security guards were about to leave, He Jingnian stopped them, "Wait."
The leading security guard turned around, "Is there anything else you need us to do?"
"Tell your boss, don't let you follow me in the future."
The security brother froze, "Did you misunderstand something? I don't understand what you mean."
Misunderstand?He Jingnian really thought it was funny.He saw the small black box in Zhu Jingyuan's hand intact, and Secretary Jin must have obeyed the imperial decree of the original speech, and he would keep this box of stones with him to death.Sure enough, the subordinates and the boss are all the same, stubborn and stubborn, just can't listen to others!
"Tell him not to bother me any more, and to leave my affairs alone!" He Jingnian gritted his teeth, "I don't want to see him, this sinister, cunning, rotten person again!"
The big security guards were collectively silent, looking up at the ceiling, why is it so difficult to get a job!
He Jingnian sat down on the sofa, there was still a cold smell of disinfectant in the air, not pungent, but very annoying.He hammered the cushion hard, very very nasty!
"Niannian, don't be angry, it's not worth it." Zhu Jingyuan comforted.
"I'm not angry with people like Qian Mingquan."
Zhu Jingyuan's eyebrows twitched, "Who is that for?"
He Jingnian stood up without saying a word, hid in and continued to draw the manuscript.
A week later, the organizer sent an email, saying that there will be an exchange meeting this weekend, and two designers need to go in person to share the design drawings of the current auction.At that time, there will be many big names in the industry, and more importantly, a group of collectors will be there, and they will choose the one they are interested in to support the bare stone.
Before departure, Qian Mingquan was still angry, but he was looking forward to it.Today is his home field, those collectors and prominent figures in the industry are quite friendly with him, and he has been very careful to maintain the relationship with these people.He has no doubt that they will all praise their design drafts and donate all the rarest and most beautiful bare stones for their own selection.
On that day, Qian Mingquan arrived at the hotel early, first greeted the distinguished guests, and then exchanged pleasantries with them.Over the years, his design level has become worse and worse, but his flattery skills have become more and more sophisticated, and a few words can make those people laugh out loud.
After a while, a person walked into the lively and noisy living room, with a very inconspicuous and thin figure, but it made the distinguished guests who had gathered together to drink and drink together to silence immediately, and they all turned around and walked towards him.
Qian Mingquan, who was about to toast someone, froze suddenly.
"Good evening, Mr. He."
"Mr. He, I have been admiring you for a long time."
"Mr. He, nice to meet you, please take care of me in the future."
"Mr. He, I know you will participate, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
He Jingnian was crowded into the center, surrounded by a group of high-ranking figures in the industry who had only seen it on TV and magazines, and even only heard of it. Mr. He was long and Mr. He was short, which made him dizzy up.
Qian Mingquan was dumbfounded. The big shots he worked so hard to curry favor with, those people who tried their best to fit into their circle, kept begging for pity on that young melon who wanted money but no money, no qualifications and no qualifications. ?What a joke... what a joke!Those people... those guys, what did they think of him!
"Mr. He, I offer you a toast."
"I respect you too."
"Mr. He, please."
"Mr. He, I'll do it first as a respect, you can do whatever you want."
Holding the wine glass, Qian Mingquan watched He Jingnian being respected and worshiped by all the stars, and felt a transparent slap, which kept slapping his face back and forth.He didn't know why this happened, could it be that Yuan Cisheng intervened?
However, Yuan Cisheng was extremely resistant to this auction, even just hearing the name Troitsky, and his face was scary for several days. How could he help his ex-wife who had been abandoned by him for this matter?
No matter what, I still have a trump card.When Qian Mingquan thought of his design draft, a glimmer of hope suddenly revived.
This design was polished by him with several of the best designers in the studio.For this blueprint, those young people were scolded by him countless times, and worked overtime and stayed up countless nights.He believed that this design would definitely amaze the industry and become the most dazzling lot at the auction, completely crushing He Jingnian.
Finally, it's the final communication session.Qian Mingquan straightened his tie and walked onto the stage confidently. "Deng", the huge screen behind him lit up, showing a beautiful design.Immediately, there was a commotion among the distinguished guests below, and expressions of admiration appeared in their eyes.
"As you can see, this is the intaglio necklace of Troitsky profile that I want to create for this auction." Qian Mingquan said proudly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other with unconcealable surprise on their faces.
The method of engraving gemstones was used long before the development of modern cutting methods.For example, Empress Josephine of Napoleon collected many beautifully carved jewelry.The most famous of these is the Gonzaga gem relief engraved with the faces of Caesar and Livius.
However, among these handed down antique jewelry, there are very few jewelry using intaglio techniques.
The so-called intaglio is to engrave the pattern into the gemstone, below the highest part of the surface.This not only requires the craftsmen to have strong professionalism, but also a very time-consuming and labor-intensive technique.
It has been described as being "totally blind" for most of the working day making intaglio jewelry.Because the surface of the gemstone is transparent, after the water engulfs the gemstone, you can’t see any details of the gemstone. You can only take the stone out of the water every time you carve it, check it and then put it back into the water to continue carving.
"Please rest assured that the craftsmen in my studio have mastered the intaglio technology proficiently, and with the improvement of modern technology, they can definitely create perfect finished products beyond the collection level."
After Qian Mingquan finished speaking, he smiled and looked at the audience.Sure enough, those people were already looking forward to it, especially those few big collectors.How can you not be tempted?You know, intaglio technology is almost on the verge of disappearing in modern society. How rare and proud it is to own a string of unique intaglio gemstone necklaces!
Well, I am in the front position, and I am in the front position with full advantages. Let's see how He Jingnian overwhelms me!Among other things, as far as the level of craftsmanship is concerned, it is absolutely impossible for him to beat himself.As for design creativity...he is also full of confidence!How could the creative integration of so many excellent designers be no match for He Jingnian's brain alone!
Staring at He Jingnian's figure on the stage, Qian Mingquan felt a sense of pleasure.He knew that he was a person without talent, and for a time he suffered a lot from it.But later I figured it out and it was fine.So what if you have no talent?Then take away other people's talents for your own use, and then trample those hateful talented people under your feet!
All eyes were on He Jingnian.In fact, their thinking was similar to that of Qian Mingquan, who believed that He Jingnian could not produce a design that could shake the minds of picky collectors more than intaglio gemstones.
Maybe more beautiful, but not more exotic.It may be peculiar enough, but it will inevitably miss the beauty of the jewelry itself.It is extremely difficult to have both, not to mention the need to create a greater impact on people in the disadvantaged rear position.Even if it is Eudora who is standing here at this moment, I am afraid that there is no way to recover, and he can only accept the cruel reality of being compared.
"Then... please take a look at my design draft first." He Jingnian opened his mouth, calmly and calmly. "If there are any deficiencies, everyone is welcome to help and correct them."
"Okay." Qian Mingquan took the lead in clapping his hands, "Young people may not be strong, but they must be humble and down-to-earth."
He clapped his hands again and again, laughing while clapping, his triangular eyes glowing proudly.But the strange thing is that the people around did not applaud with him, but looked at him with strange and complicated eyes, as if they were watching a mental patient.
"Ahem." He put down his hands in embarrassment, unaware that all those people were thinking in their hearts: This person is begging madly, and his life is too long.
"Let's get started, we are all ears." Qian Mingquan raised his chin.
"Den."
The big screen behind He Jingnian lit up, two pages of design drafts, black and white colors, hand-painted lines - he has now returned to the habit of hand-painting.Some things thought to have disappeared, but in fact they are only temporarily lurking, which does not mean that they really do not exist.
That's it, that's all, unlike Qian Mingquan who meticulously simulated the finished product, with bright colors and saturated light, the design draft he brought was black and white.
But even so, the visual impact caused by this black and white hand drawing is far stronger than Qian Mingquan's highly completed work.Even if the carved and inlaid finished product is brought to the stage at this moment, it may not be more attractive than this design draft.
"A brief introduction, this design is inspired by Troitsky's masterpiece "The Peacock Prince", and the overall design refers to the book-turning stick that was popular in the [-]th century."
"However, if you pull out the scabbard," He Jingnian stretched out his right index finger, wrapping it around from the outside to the inside, and touching his left atrium. Love'. In the teachings of the Orthodox Church, it means the supreme happiness and love that transcends all rules."

The author has something to say:
The related description of intaglio gemstones refers to "It is said that Empress Josephine is a loyal fan of cameo jewelry, but I want her collection of intaglio gemstones"

As he said that, Qian Mingquan reached out to pat He Jingnian's shoulder, but was avoided calmly.He immediately became angry, his face sank, and he said: "I am willing to teach you to save face, and you are considered talented. I don't want to waste time for ordinary people."
"What do you mean?" He Jingnian said angrily, "Why do you have to read my design draft? This is a violation of the regulations."
Qian Mingquan sneered, "Do you know how difficult it is to fight alone in this circle? Now, I am willing to let you join my studio to provide you with a reliable platform and give you a chance to stand out. I will correct Your design, which will be the work of our studio, will amaze the industry at this auction."
He Jingnian was speechless, "So... you want to recruit me to draw a design draft for you, and finally sign your name to make it your work?"
"Why, do you find it difficult to accept?" Qian Mingquan said, "But for most newcomers, this is the best and only choice." After a pause, he smiled: "No matter where , The law of the jungle is the same rule. You have to believe that I have many ways and know many people, enough to make your efforts go to waste, and you will no longer be able to gain a foothold in this industry.”
This is really not a threat. So far, he has obtained works full of aura and imagination that he will never be able to design from several newcomers who have just left the campus.Including the one that made him on the power list this time, it also came from a young designer.
That silly boy has been working hard since he entered his studio, and he was so happy knowing that he was going to declare his work for the award, but on the day of the award ceremony, when he heard that the winner's name was not his, he burst into tears .
He Jingnian nodded, "Finished?"
Qian Mingquan's face turned cold, and he announced a series of names of famous people, all of whom were leaders of industry associations and other big figures. "Don't think too highly of yourself, do you think that Qi Wei's appreciation is enough? Anyone here can make you unable to hang out in this circle anymore. One wrong step and one wrong step, understand? "
He Jingnian lowered his head and remained silent for a while.Qian Mingquan knew that he was about to succumb, and he was proud of himself. When he thought that the other party was the foreign devil's ex-wife, his pride doubled.
At that time, he wanted to put the studio under the name of Sheng Heng, but he was rejected again and again, and he didn't even touch the side of the gate.Now it's all right, even if he can't take revenge on the foreign devil, he can finally vent his anger on the foreign devil's ex-wife.
"I understand." He Jingnian said in a low voice.
"Just understand." Qian Mingquan stretched out his hand, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation..."
"I finally understand how your award-winning excellent designs came about." He Jingnian looked at him and smiled, "How could a vulgar person like you design such works. Relying on yourself Don’t you feel ashamed to deceive, suppress, and use those young people who really love jewelry design? Don’t you feel disgusted and shameful when you see your own face in the mirror?”
"You...!" Qian Mingquan's complexion changed drastically, turning pale.He was scolded by a soft persimmon!Even his father never scolded him!
"When I think of participating in this auction with you, my design will be placed with your stolen goods, I feel that my hard work has been tarnished." He Jingnian raised his hand and picked up the coffee cup on the coffee table , Throw it into the trash can with a "bang".It's so dirty, so dirty!
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for using stolen goods for charity? Being a thief and doing it confidently, I really opened my eyes, aren't you afraid that one day everyone will know about it!"
"If you have the ability, sue me!" Qian Mingquan stood up, his face turned purple, and he felt that his whole body was going to burst in the next second.He pointed at He Jingnian with his index finger, and cursed: "What are you! You are worthy to blame me? You think you are the chairman's wife? Bah! It's just a rotten person who was tired of being played by that foreign devil. It's just dirt! How much do you think you're worth?"
Several people behind him surrounded him with unfriendly expressions, approaching He Jingnian step by step, and intimidation like this was also one of his usual methods.The rookie designers he targets are often the ones who come to big cities alone to work hard. They have no one to help, and they can't help being intimidated. They don't need to do anything to completely scare people.
"I warn you, if you dare to talk nonsense outside, don't blame me for breaking your hand!" Qian Mingquan yelled viciously, trying to push He Jingnian against the wall and grab his wrist.
At this moment, the glass door was smashed open, and a group of well-trained security guards descended from the sky, completely blocking the inside and outside of the studio.They were all tall, athletic, and well-trained. With lightning speed, they firmly controlled Qian Mingquan's group and pressed them down in front of He Jingnian in a row.
He Jing was dumbfounded, and Zhu Jingyuan, who came across this scene just after returning, was also dumbfounded.Is the quality of shopping mall security so high now!Aren't these tower-like men really retired special forces or professional bodyguards who were former Sanda champions?
"My God, Shen Tangfeng didn't hire a group of people to ambush you in the mall 24 hours a day to protect you?" Zhu Jingyuan walked over tremblingly, "This is too exaggerated. Besides, we don't have any valuable stones here that people will miss. ?”
"Protecting the safety of every lessee is both a duty and a mission." The chief security guard said in a loud voice, and Zhu Jingyuan felt that he gave her a big eye in displeasure.
Qian Mingquan and the others were still screaming and struggling desperately, but it was useless. The big security guards treated them as if they were playing games. They only needed one hand to treat them like the prisoners before beheading. Press firmly on the coffee table.
At the beginning, Qian Mingquan was still stubborn, cursing at the top of his voice: "I'm going to find the owner of this mall! Let him fire all of you watchdogs!" As soon as he said this, the security guards were shocked. The buddies all laughed, and the air was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.
Qian Mingquan was furious, "You...what are you laughing at!"
The big security guard was even happier, and with a little force on his fingers, Qian Mingquan's wrist joints squeaked, causing his face to contort in pain, and he began to howl loudly.
"Mr. He, how do you want us to deal with these people?"
"Take them all out, don't let them in again." He Jingnian said.Qian Mingquan was only a verbal threat, he didn't really do anything, and he couldn't do anything to them
The big security guard nodded, accurately implementing He Jingnian's meaning, and with a wave of his thick and powerful arm, he threw the men out in a parabola shape, stacking them one on top of the other into sandbags on the ground.
The rest of the security guards didn't leave either, they took out their aprons and gloves from their bags in unison, dressed them neatly, took out mops, rags, disinfectant and air fresheners, and cleaned the studio for He Jingnian .After a while, the tiles on the walls were shining brightly, and there was no trace left by Qian Mingquan and others. It was hard not to suspect that their job was probably cleaning...
"Then let's take our leave first." Just as the security guards were about to leave, He Jingnian stopped them, "Wait."
The leading security guard turned around, "Is there anything else you need us to do?"
"Tell your boss, don't let you follow me in the future."
The security brother froze, "Did you misunderstand something? I don't understand what you mean."
Misunderstand?He Jingnian really thought it was funny.He saw the small black box in Zhu Jingyuan's hand intact, and Secretary Jin must have obeyed the imperial decree of the original speech, and he would keep this box of stones with him to death.Sure enough, the subordinates and the boss are all the same, stubborn and stubborn, just can't listen to others!
"Tell him not to bother me any more, and to leave my affairs alone!" He Jingnian gritted his teeth, "I don't want to see him, this sinister, cunning, rotten person again!"
The big security guards were collectively silent, looking up at the ceiling, why is it so difficult to get a job!
He Jingnian sat down on the sofa, there was still a cold smell of disinfectant in the air, not pungent, but very annoying.He hammered the cushion hard, very very nasty!
"Niannian, don't be angry, it's not worth it." Zhu Jingyuan comforted.
"I'm not angry with people like Qian Mingquan."
Zhu Jingyuan's eyebrows twitched, "Who is that for?"
He Jingnian stood up without saying a word, hid in and continued to draw the manuscript.
A week later, the organizer sent an email, saying that there will be an exchange meeting this weekend, and two designers need to go in person to share the design drawings of the current auction.At that time, there will be many big names in the industry, and more importantly, a group of collectors will be there, and they will choose the one they are interested in to support the bare stone.
Before departure, Qian Mingquan was still angry, but he was looking forward to it.Today is his home field, those collectors and prominent figures in the industry are quite friendly with him, and he has been very careful to maintain the relationship with these people.He has no doubt that they will all praise their design drafts and donate all the rarest and most beautiful bare stones for their own selection.
On that day, Qian Mingquan arrived at the hotel early, first greeted the distinguished guests, and then exchanged pleasantries with them.Over the years, his design level has become worse and worse, but his flattery skills have become more and more sophisticated, and a few words can make those people laugh out loud.
After a while, a person walked into the lively and noisy living room, with a very inconspicuous and thin figure, but it made the distinguished guests who had gathered together to drink and drink together to silence immediately, and they all turned around and walked towards him.
Qian Mingquan, who was about to toast someone, froze suddenly.
"Good evening, Mr. He."
"Mr. He, I have been admiring you for a long time."
"Mr. He, nice to meet you, please take care of me in the future."
"Mr. He, I know you will participate, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
He Jingnian was crowded into the center, surrounded by a group of high-ranking figures in the industry who had only seen it on TV and magazines, and even only heard of it. Mr. He was long and Mr. He was short, which made him dizzy up.
Qian Mingquan was dumbfounded. The big shots he worked so hard to curry favor with, those people who tried their best to fit into their circle, kept begging for pity on that young melon who wanted money but no money, no qualifications and no qualifications. ?What a joke... what a joke!Those people... those guys, what did they think of him!
"Mr. He, I offer you a toast."
"I respect you too."
"Mr. He, please."
"Mr. He, I'll do it first as a respect, you can do whatever you want."
Holding the wine glass, Qian Mingquan watched He Jingnian being respected and worshiped by all the stars, and felt a transparent slap, which kept slapping his face back and forth.He didn't know why this happened, could it be that Yuan Cisheng intervened?
However, Yuan Cisheng was extremely resistant to this auction, even just hearing the name Troitsky, and his face was scary for several days. How could he help his ex-wife who had been abandoned by him for this matter?
No matter what, I still have a trump card.When Qian Mingquan thought of his design draft, a glimmer of hope suddenly revived.
This design was polished by him with several of the best designers in the studio.For this blueprint, those young people were scolded by him countless times, and worked overtime and stayed up countless nights.He believed that this design would definitely amaze the industry and become the most dazzling lot at the auction, completely crushing He Jingnian.
Finally, it's the final communication session.Qian Mingquan straightened his tie and walked onto the stage confidently. "Deng", the huge screen behind him lit up, showing a beautiful design.Immediately, there was a commotion among the distinguished guests below, and expressions of admiration appeared in their eyes.
"As you can see, this is the intaglio necklace of Troitsky profile that I want to create for this auction." Qian Mingquan said proudly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other with unconcealable surprise on their faces.
The method of engraving gemstones was used long before the development of modern cutting methods.For example, Empress Josephine of Napoleon collected many beautifully carved jewelry.The most famous of these is the Gonzaga gem relief engraved with the faces of Caesar and Livius.
However, among these handed down antique jewelry, there are very few jewelry using intaglio techniques.
The so-called intaglio is to engrave the pattern into the gemstone, below the highest part of the surface.This not only requires the craftsmen to have strong professionalism, but also a very time-consuming and labor-intensive technique.
It has been described as being "totally blind" for most of the working day making intaglio jewelry.Because the surface of the gemstone is transparent, after the water engulfs the gemstone, you can’t see any details of the gemstone. You can only take the stone out of the water every time you carve it, check it and then put it back into the water to continue carving.
"Please rest assured that the craftsmen in my studio have mastered the intaglio technology proficiently, and with the improvement of modern technology, they can definitely create perfect finished products beyond the collection level."
After Qian Mingquan finished speaking, he smiled and looked at the audience.Sure enough, those people were already looking forward to it, especially those few big collectors.How can you not be tempted?You know, intaglio technology is almost on the verge of disappearing in modern society. How rare and proud it is to own a string of unique intaglio gemstone necklaces!
Well, I am in the front position, and I am in the front position with full advantages. Let's see how He Jingnian overwhelms me!Among other things, as far as the level of craftsmanship is concerned, it is absolutely impossible for him to beat himself.As for design creativity...he is also full of confidence!How could the creative integration of so many excellent designers be no match for He Jingnian's brain alone!
Staring at He Jingnian's figure on the stage, Qian Mingquan felt a sense of pleasure.He knew that he was a person without talent, and for a time he suffered a lot from it.But later I figured it out and it was fine.So what if you have no talent?Then take away other people's talents for your own use, and then trample those hateful talented people under your feet!
All eyes were on He Jingnian.In fact, their thinking was similar to that of Qian Mingquan, who believed that He Jingnian could not produce a design that could shake the minds of picky collectors more than intaglio gemstones.
Maybe more beautiful, but not more exotic.It may be peculiar enough, but it will inevitably miss the beauty of the jewelry itself.It is extremely difficult to have both, not to mention the need to create a greater impact on people in the disadvantaged rear position.Even if it is Eudora who is standing here at this moment, I am afraid that there is no way to recover, and he can only accept the cruel reality of being compared.
"Then... please take a look at my design draft first." He Jingnian opened his mouth, calmly and calmly. "If there are any deficiencies, everyone is welcome to help and correct them."
"Okay." Qian Mingquan took the lead in clapping his hands, "Young people may not be strong, but they must be humble and down-to-earth."
He clapped his hands again and again, laughing while clapping, his triangular eyes glowing proudly.But the strange thing is that the people around did not applaud with him, but looked at him with strange and complicated eyes, as if they were watching a mental patient.
"Ahem." He put down his hands in embarrassment, unaware that all those people were thinking in their hearts: This person is begging madly, and his life is too long.
"Let's get started, we are all ears." Qian Mingquan raised his chin.
"Den."
The big screen behind He Jingnian lit up, two pages of design drafts, black and white colors, hand-painted lines - he has now returned to the habit of hand-painting.Some things thought to have disappeared, but in fact they are only temporarily lurking, which does not mean that they really do not exist.
That's it, that's all, unlike Qian Mingquan who meticulously simulated the finished product, with bright colors and saturated light, the design draft he brought was black and white.
But even so, the visual impact caused by this black and white hand drawing is far stronger than Qian Mingquan's highly completed work.Even if the carved and inlaid finished product is brought to the stage at this moment, it may not be more attractive than this design draft.
"A brief introduction, this design is inspired by Troitsky's masterpiece "The Peacock Prince", and the overall design refers to the book-turning stick that was popular in the [-]th century."
"However, if you pull out the scabbard," He Jingnian stretched out his right index finger, wrapping it around from the outside to the inside, and touching his left atrium. Love'. In the teachings of the Orthodox Church, it means the supreme happiness and love that transcends all rules."

The author has something to say:
The related description of intaglio gemstones refers to "It is said that Empress Josephine is a loyal fan of cameo jewelry, but I want her collection of intaglio gemstones"
