This kind of large-carat diamond was a test of the designer's ability. Large diamonds couldn't be shaped and could only be used as a single necklace pendant. Usually, small diamonds were used to make a support behind the large diamond, or to connect it with the necklace itself to make a whole shape.
But Xin Qing broke this tradition. She used 99 small black gems to make a black shelf, and 999 small diamonds to make a shape of intertwined branches for the whole necklace. The necklace extended to the back of the pink diamond, just connecting the black shelf and the pink diamond chain. The highlight was that on the black shelf, she made two little birds cuddling with each other and looking at each other affectionately with broken diamonds and gems of various colors.
"This is a pair of mandarin ducks!" Xin Qing's eyes were full of hope. "In China, there has been a long-cherished wish of a pair of mandarin ducks only since ancient times."
It was very simple, but it was a bold design that had never been done before. Daniel and the old woman were both amazed. For the first time, the old woman said to Xin Qing with a satisfied look, "I have to admit that you are a very good designer. Your bold ideas always brighten our eyes."
"Yes!" Daniel laughed so hard that his eyes couldn't be seen. "It's great to be able to perfectly embody the elements of China without leaving a trace!" He praised, "We are looking forward to seeing the finished product of the necklace!"
Xin Qing was not surprised by this result at all. Shi Qianqian said this after seeing her work this time.
"If you put your IQ in your professional field into your daily life, you can torture Ying Qingcang to death!"
Xin Qing also felt strange about this. When she was designing things, she seemed to become another person. She wouldn't be weak or cry. She felt that she was very brave and felt that she was the most powerful person in the world! She was full of confidence from head to toe.
In the evening, the two of them went to a very popular dessert shop to eat ice cream to celebrate. When they went in, they happened to see Diana coming out.
"What a coincidence, Xin Qing!" Diana took the initiative to greet her.
Xin Qing also said politely, "Yes, I didn't expect you to eat this kind of thing!"
"I'm also a little girl!" Diana said jokingly, "By the way, I will accompany you to the competition."
Xin Qing was a little surprised. Diana explained, "This is a tradition of CK. Every student who participates in the competition will be accompanied by the previous student."
"Maybe we are not familiar with the rules and will be nervous!" Xin Qing thought it was understandable. After all, she was going to participate in such a big competition for the first time and had no experience. Who knew what would happen?
"According to the rules, I won't be able to see your design in advance. I hope you'll be able to amaze everyone when the time comes," Dianne said with a smile before she left.
After they sat, Shi Qianqian's brows furrowed brows.
"What's wrong with you?" Xin Qing asked, noticing her absent-mindedness. "If you don't like this flavor, I'll switch with you!"
Shi Qianqian rolled her eyes. "You only know how to eat. You'd better stay away from that woman."
"You mean Diana?" Xin Qing was a little confused. "You don't like her?"
"Don't you think she looks strange?" Shi Qianqian tilted her head and thought for a while. "But I can't tell what's strange about her."
Xin Qing looked at her. "She and I are not even friends. Don't worry."
Shi Qianqian didn't agree with her observation skills. She believed in her own intuition more. That night, when she talked to Ding Lei, she asked him to tell Ying Qingcang to look into the woman named Diana. Xin Qing didn't know about this. She began to stay in CK's workshop all day, finishing the finished jewelry with the workers. It was Christmas in the blink of an eye. There was only one week left before the competition. Xin Qing handed the final product to CK. On the day of the competition, there would be a special security guard to escort the product to the competition.
The day before Christmas, Shi Qianqian finally went back. It was Ding Lei's mother who called her personally to ask her to go back. She finally knew that the current Đinh Clan didn't belong to her family. Although she hated her son for not listening to her and transferring the shares to her, she had no other choice now. Not only did she agree to the marriage between Shi Qianqian and Ding Lei, but she also urged them to get married quickly. Only in this way could the Đinh Clan's financial group be protected.
On the day Shi Qianqian left, Xin Qing was dragging a Christmas tree into the house. She saw Ah Chul's cute face.
"Miss! Merry Christmas! " Ah Chul said as he got out of the car to help her carry the tree. Then the car door was opened, and a baby voice was heard. "Ah woo … Ma … Ma!" Asha was wearing a pink bunny coat. She was in Ying Qingcang's arms and reached out to her.
"Baby!" Xin Qing happily rushed over, hugged Asha, and kissed her. Asha also happily smeared saliva on her face, giggling non-stop.
Ying Qingcang was wearing a black coat, standing there and looking at her. Xin Qing couldn't help but tear up again. She sniffed and said, "Let's … let's go in!"
"Are you very happy to see us?" Ying Qingcang said as he walked into the house.
Xin Qing pretended not to hear him. This was indeed a surprise. Originally, she didn't have any thoughts about Christmas. After all, she wasn't a foreigner. But these days, the streets were filled with the atmosphere of a family reunion. Everyone was rushing home. When she went to the supermarket in the afternoon, even the supermarket had to close early. For foreigners, today was New Year's Eve. She didn't want to be alone, so she cut a small pine tree from the door and wanted to decorate it. After all, it was a holiday.
"Ah Chul, you stay tonight. Let's celebrate together!" Xin Qing saw Ah Chul busy decorating the Christmas tree and walked over to help.
Ah Chul looked at Ying Qingcang, and Ying Qingcang nodded.
Fortunately, Xin Qing bought a lot of food, including a Christmas special roast chicken. The three adults and one child ate dinner around the Christmas tree. Asha was the most excited. She could already stand up and walk a few steps, so she ran around the Christmas tree with all her might. Ah Chul was afraid that she would fall, so he followed behind her like an old hen. Xin Qing looked at the warm firewood in the fireplace, and then at the man who was leaning on the sofa and drinking red wine lazily. She felt so happy!
Although this happiness was temporary, like Cinderella's crystal shoes, it would return to its original state after 12 o 'clock. But at least it was a beautiful night, leaving behind a beautiful dream.
Ying Qingcang didn't stay for long. On the third day, he took Asha back to China. Before he left, he said to Xin Qing, "I'm busy recently.
I'm afraid that I won't have time to come over until New Year's Eve. Let me know in advance when you go back. I'll ask Ah Chul to pick you up. " Ying Qingcang saw that she wanted to say something, so he interrupted her directly. "You'd better stay in Ying's residence. You can spend more time with Asha and Le Le."
When they got in the car, Ying Qingcang said to her again, "I wish you success in the competition in advance!"
"Thank you!" Xin Qing kissed Asha and waved to them.
One day before the competition, CK sent her the plane ticket. Xin Qing packed her luggage and specially brought China style clothes. The next morning, when she arrived at the airport, Diana was already waiting for her. In the end, she saw William at the boarding gate.
"Miss Xin! I knew I'd run into you. " They hadn't seen each other for a few months, but William still looked like a rich young master. He walked towards Xin Qing with a smile on his face. Diana saw this and whispered, "I'll go in first." Then she left without waiting for William to come over.
Xin Qing couldn't help but think, "She's really a rich young lady. She doesn't even look at a man like William."
"Mr. William, are you going to participate in the competition too?" Xin Qing asked jokingly.
"Haha, I want to, but I don't have the ability." William took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Xin Qing. Xin Qing took it and looked at it. She was surprised and said, "Special Guest Judge?"
William purposely nodded his head mysteriously. "Hmm … Do you want to bribe me?"
"Okay, if you give me first place, I'll make China dumplings for you!" Xin Qing joked with him.
The two of them couldn't help but laugh. William looked at the time and said, "Let's get on the plane first. We'll talk after we get off!"
"Okay!" Xin Qing nodded. William definitely wouldn't sit in the same cabin as her. Sure enough, when they got on the plane, she entered the business class cabin and William entered the first class cabin. The two of them waved in the air.
At the same time, Childe Shen pushed open the door to Ying Qingcang's office.
"No." He looked worse than before, as if he hadn't slept for a few days.
Ying Qingcang frowned. "You mean, it's the same as what we found before?"
"Yes." Childe Shen poured himself a glass of red wine and leaned on the sofa. "It's clean. I even dug up what happened in his university. William is the most outstanding heir of his generation in his family. He's been a popular figure since he was in school, but he's always kept a low profile. It's said that his IQ is as high as 180. When he was in school, his grades were always the best. "
"Could it be that we're going in the wrong direction …" Ying Qingcang thought for a moment. "What about Diana?"
Childe Shen yawned. "That woman is even less of a problem." He threw a file over. "Here, it's all in there. Take a look."
Ying Qingcang opened the file. There was only one piece of paper. She was the daughter of a declining aristocratic family. She went to school and lived a well-behaved life. Her family hoped that she would marry a rich aristocrat, so she was raised to be a lady since she was young.
"Are you suspecting that William is the one who kidnapped Xin Qing?"
Ying Qingcang shook his head. "He's not. I've checked his entry and exit records. There's no record."
"What about illegal immigration?" Childe Shen said. "As long as you spend a little money, you can definitely get in."
"That would be very embarrassing." Ying Qingcang raised his eyebrows. "You've seen him before, right? Do you think a person like him would try to smuggle himself into the country?"
"Indeed, he wouldn't." Childe Shen thought of William's appearance. "So, now we have to reanalyze it."
Ying Qingcang suddenly looked at him and asked, "Do you think we're wrong from the beginning? Since the person who kidnapped Xin Qing is after me, then he might not be by Xin Qing's side at all. "
"You mean, he's by your side?"
