In the following month, Xin Qing spent her afternoons in Landa's workshop, except for studying in the morning. Unfortunately, a month had passed, and she still had no chance to touch the design. Landa still made her do odd jobs every day.
Strangely, a few days ago, Eva was suddenly allowed to participate in the design by Landa. Xin Qing wondered if doing odd jobs was also a test. Eva passed, but she didn't, so she worked harder to make coffee and take out the trash.
Until one night, when she went to a nearby flower shop to buy flowers, a car drove past. Landa was sitting in the driver's seat, and Eva was sitting next to him.
When Landa's hand was still on Eva's chest, Xin Qing instantly understood. When she got home, she went online to complain to Shi Qianqian and the others.
"What do you think I should do?" The three of them started a voice chat. Xin Qing heard Zhang Mi crunching on an apple.
Shi Qianqian wasn't surprised at all. "It's normal. You either bow to evil or resist."
"Haha," Zhang Mi continued, "with that little bit of fighting power of hers, she won't be able to resist."
Xin Qing grabbed a handful of her own hair. "I thought China was the only country with unspoken rules..."
"It has nothing to do with race, it's human nature." Shi Qianqian told her, "It's said that the designers' circle is similar to the entertainment circle. It's very dirty."
"I'm very clean!" Xin Qing disagreed. "Besides, not all designers are like that!"
Zhang Mi gloated. "That's none of your business. You're dealing with scum now. You should solve your own problem first!"
"How?" Xin Qing felt that she shouldn't have participated. "Should I report it?"
Shi Qianqian wanted to pull Xin Qing over the phone and open her head. "Are you stupid? Do you think CK will offend a designer for a nobody like you? "
"Exactly!" Zhang Mi chimed in, "Who knows, that Lan-something scum might even bite you back. By then, you might not even be able to stay in the academy anymore."
Xin Qing broke out in a cold sweat. She was still too naive. In this situation, no matter what she did, her life was still in Randa's hands. If Randa said that she was not a good student at the end of the job, then CK would also think that she was not a good student. Then, the academy might really expel her.
"So, I can only keep this matter to myself." Xin Qing punched the pillow, "Then I can only watch this design."
Shi Qianqian said seriously, "Don't be careless. Now it's not a matter of whether you participate or not, but whether they will let you finish the design successfully.
"You mean …" Xin Qing's face turned pale. "If it goes well, then it's okay. But if something goes wrong, I'll be the cannon fodder!"
"That's right!" Shi Qianqian praised her. "You're not completely stupid."
"When you left, I told you that many things will come to you even if you don't provoke them. You have to be 120% alert to deal with everyone around you. "Shi Qianqian said worriedly," Previously, the Xin family's affairs were all out in the open. Then, Ying Qingcang protected you, so you didn't have to deal with these dirty things at all. Now, you're on your own. No one can help you. You have to grow up and face all kinds of intrigue in the workplace. Otherwise … you'd better come back as soon as possible. "
Zhang Mi also shouted, "That's right. Come back! Before Ying Qingcang has a change of heart, come back and be a young mistress! "
"Bah!" Xin Qing rolled her eyes. "Then I'm too useless!" She looked at the time. "Okay, it's too late. I'll hang up. I'll be careful. At least I won't be framed first!"
"Be careful of that adulterous couple!" Zhang Mi still warned her when she hung up. "Adulterous couples are the most terrible."
Xin Qing, who knew the truth, walked into the studio the next afternoon. She had a feeling that the wind was blowing and the water was cold, as if the hero would never come back. Especially when she saw Eva staring at her with a faint smile on her face, this feeling was even stronger. For a moment, she even wanted to rush out and shout, "I don't want to play anymore!"
"Xin Qing, can you do me a favor?" Eva came over with a stack of drawings.
"You … tell me." Xin Qing sorted out her thoughts. This was her own battle. Even if she couldn't win, she had to stay alive!
Eva looked at her embarrassedly and said, "Landa asked me to edit these first drafts, but I have something to do tonight and want to leave early. How about … I do it for you?"
"This is the work he gave you." Xin Qing looked at her with some surprise. She dared to make decisions on her own? Or did Landa acquiesce to this?
"It shouldn't matter! We're here to learn together. It doesn't matter who does it. Besides, you haven't had a chance to touch it. I'm giving you a chance. Are you going to refuse? "Eva looked at her as if she was giving her alms. She should agree quickly if she knew what was good for her.
Did she really want her to agree? Xin Qing thought about it and took it. "Okay. Does Landa have any requests?"
"These are some of the details that Landa drew for this design. You just have to color them!" "This is a rare opportunity. If you perform well, Randa might let you take part in the design." Eva shook her head and said, "This is a rare opportunity."
Watching Eva walk away, Xin Qing was very glad that she found out about their affair. Otherwise, she would have thought that this was an opportunity. But now, she sneered in her heart. She didn't want this opportunity …
When Landa came back, he found that Eva wasn't there. He just asked, and Xin Qing said that she had something to do and left. Landa thought about it and said, "Oh, right.
She asked for leave from me yesterday. " He frowned and looked at Xin Qing. "Then you'll finish her work. Let's work overtime today!"
Xin Qing nodded. "I understand. I'm doing it."
"Let me see." Landa reached out and picked up the original draft that she had just filled in. When he saw the color on it, his eyes lit up. "Hey! Why did you color the leaves pink? "Xin Qing quickly said," Didn't the customer say that it was designed for 20-year-old girls? Pink is the color that best represents this age. It's wasteful and full of childishness. "
"What about the flowers?" Landa looked at the draft that she was about to color. It was a pencil drawing of a sunflower.
This kind of custom-made jewelry design was very complicated. They would first draw all the patterns that they could think of, then combine them, and finally decide on the most satisfactory finished product. If the finished product didn't look good, they would have to do it again, overturn all the previous designs, and find a new way of thinking.
Xin Qing had a set of flower patterns in her hand. She colored the leaves pink. The flowers were originally bright, so she couldn't use the same color.
Hearing Landa's question, Xin Qing picked up a blue and rose red color pen and said, "Let's use rose red as the base, and then add two layers of blue."
"These two colors?" Randa frowned. "Why don't you paint them for me to see?"
Unhurriedly, Xin Qing smeared the two colors onto the flower. Randa picked up the pink leaf and placed it on top of the flower. After a long while, he asked, "Can a gemstone achieve this effect?"
"There's a kind of gem in China called tourmaline. It's an ornament that only ancient kings could wear. It's this color."
Landa looked at her. "No wonder your recommendation said that you have a very unique grasp of color." He threw the draft to her. "From tomorrow onwards, you'll be responsible for filling in all the colors." Landa finished speaking and turned to leave. Xin Qing heard him whisper in a low voice.
"China's things are really strange. They even have gems of that color. It seems that I'll have to go and cram my knowledge of China."
Xin Qing stuck out her tongue at his back. "Country bumpkin, how can a country with a history of a few hundred years understand our five-thousand-year culture?"
The next day, when Eva saw Xin Qing at school, she stared at her for a long time before saying, "Are you … okay?"
Xin Qing twitched the corner of her mouth. "What do you think I'm not okay?"
"You went home after painting yesterday?" Eva looked at her from head to toe and asked suspiciously.
Xin Qing saw her reaction and knew that there must be something fishy yesterday. "What else? Where would I go? "
"How is that possible …" Eva muttered.
Xin Qing sneered. "You knew that something would happen to me, didn't you?"
"What do you mean? I'm just concerned about you." Eva saw that Xin Qing seemed to be okay and said in a bad tone.
Xin Qing ignored her and turned to leave. In the afternoon, the two went to the studio. When Eva saw Xin Qing sitting on the design desk and painting, she pushed her away. "This is my job. What do you mean?"
"Landa asked me to do it. If you have any questions, you can ask him." Xin Qing pushed her hand away and sat back.
Eva couldn't believe it. "Nonsense! He wouldn't … "She suddenly stopped talking and just stared at Xin Qing with a strange smile." Haha, I was wondering how could nothing happen. No wonder you were involved in the design. Humph … It seems that you're not a rich girl. I'm afraid you've done this kind of thing many times before. That's how you get your branded jewelry, right? "
Xin Qing frowned. What was she talking about? Then her face suddenly darkened. When she was about to explain it to her, Landa's voice came from the door. "What are you doing? Don't you want to work? Eva, come out with me for a while. "
Eva looked at Landa sadly and glared at Xin Qing before leaving with Landa. Xin Qing held her trembling hands and kept telling herself in her heart, Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's her business what she thinks. As long as she has a clear conscience …
Xin Qing kicked the chair out of the way. She wanted to go to the bathroom to wash her face and clear her head. However, when she passed by the staff lounge on her way back, she suddenly heard a woman's scream coming from inside. The latter half of the scream seemed to have been blocked by something.
She curiously peeked in through the gap of the door that wasn't closed tightly and saw Eva's skirt belt falling to her waist. She was hugging Landa.
"You … What you said just now … Was it true? You didn't lie to me, right? "Eva didn't forget to ask at a time like this." Did you succeed yesterday? "
Landa didn't have time to answer at this time. He just said perfunctorily, "Of course, she's not as good as you. I only like little vixens like you. But … She … She's in the wrong time. I changed my mind. She's still useful."
What a pair of scumbags!
