In a strange country, it was important for Xin Qing to have someone who trusted her. She did not know what kind of situation she was about to face. Landa would not let her go easily. Since he dared to steal her work, he would never let her stay in CK.
Mayr's trust gave her some courage. Xin Qing pushed open the door of the classroom. Sure enough, the teacher called her to the office and handed her a piece of paper. "This is from the headquarters. It says that your conduct is not good and you can no longer stay in the school."
Xin Qing took the paper and opened it. It was a statement of expulsion. She found that the middle-aged teacher who had been teaching them did not look at her with discrimination. Instead, he grinned at her. "Now you know that hard work will not be recognized by others. Sometimes, it takes wisdom and courage to achieve one's dream." He stood up and reached out to Xin Qing. "I will announce that you are on sick leave. I hope to see you before the exam!"
Xin Qing walked out of the school in confusion. Then, she suddenly saw the light. She looked back in the direction of the classroom. The teacher named Elson must not be a simple person. He was telling her to find a way to save herself, and he believed that she could do it!
Xin Qing's uneasiness had completely disappeared, leaving only her fighting spirit. She strode in the direction of her home. A few days later, she received a call from Landa. This time, his tone was very polite.
"Xin Qing! You're much smarter than I thought. "
"Haha, you flatter me. If I were really smart, I wouldn't have been expelled."
Landa said directly, "I won't beat around the bush. Tell me what to do, and I'll let you go back to school."
"Mr. Landa, do you think you can make me give you my painstaking work?" Xin Qing sneered. "I want the work to be signed by Xin Qing, and only by myself."
Landa said angrily, "Who do you think you are? You're just a little girl. How dare you threaten me? "
"I'm not threatening you. I'm just taking back what's mine. Think carefully before you come to me!" Xin Qing hung up the phone. She lowered her head and saw her shoulders shaking slowly. Then she fell onto the sofa laughing.
Hehe! Do you really think I'm a fool?
Xin Qing's inspiration for this design came from her childhood. She designed the whole necklace as branches and leaves, and then there were several half-open water lilies in the back half of the necklace. Butterflies and small dragonflies were resting on the water lilies. Furthermore, he used a bright lacquer coating on the water lilies, which made the light and shadow of the aquatic plants swaying in the water very exquisite. She used diamonds for the leaves of the water lily, amethysts and rubies for the pistils, and blue Mediterranean gems for the base. Every leaf was inlaid with two particles. The design of this piece of jewelry fully reflected CK's high level of craftsmanship and skill.
However … Landa had a headache. Once the lacquer on the water lilies was applied, it would affect the effect of the rubies and make the gems look a little black. He thought of all the ways to solve this problem, but he couldn't. He even replaced the gems with red crystals, which had a brighter luster, with no effect. In desperation, he could only ask Xin Qing. He didn't expect this Chinese girl to have a trick up her sleeve. She must have known that this problem would occur.
For the next few days, Xin Qing rode her bicycle around the streets. She went to the legendary luxury street and bought gifts for Zhang Mi and Shi Qianqian. There were three days left until the final exam. Xin Qing knew that CK would come looking for her immediately. Randa had shown the client the final product design and quoted the client the price based on the gems on the design. Randa was supposed to hand in the final product today, but he was unable to produce the same effect. This was something that CK would not allow. The designer would have to pay a painful price for his own mistakes. For example... he would have to compensate for all the gems used in the jewelry. According to Xin Qing's estimation, the necklace she designed would cost at least eight million yuan to make.
Unless Landa was prepared to pay for it himself, he could only ask her for help.
Unexpectedly, before Landa called, Xin Qing received a call from CK.
"Miss Xin, may I ask you to come over now?" The other party asked her very politely.
"Oh," Xin Qing said. "Didn't you guys fire me? What's there to go?"
"I think we might have a misunderstanding. There must be a mistake. You should come over first. Let's talk about it. As for the college, you can go back to class tomorrow!"
Xin Qing hung up with a smile. She deliberately dawdled on her way to CK. When she arrived at the entrance, she saw Guy and a middle-aged man standing there. They walked up to her as soon as they saw her.
"Xin Qing! You're finally here. Come on in. "
It turned out that Landa had decided not to look for her. He handed the final product to the customer and told the customer that the gems would have the same effect. However, the customer didn't believe him. Landa insisted that it was impossible to achieve the same effect as the design draft. In the end, the customer took out an original design draft that was exactly the same as his. However, it was noted that special treatment had to be done to ensure the original luster of the gems.
Xin Qing found it strange when she heard this. She had lost a design draft before, but she had always thought that it was at home. How could it be in someone else's hands? And that someone else was coincidentally the customer this time? In short, Landa had bumped into an iron plate this time.
"Did he say who designed the gems?" Xin Qing asked Guy.
Guy smiled awkwardly. "He only said that you were in charge of that part." After that, she no longer dared to look at Xin Qing. Xin Qing had already known the truth of the matter from the very beginning. In her heart, she was also impressed by this Chinese girl. She had actually tampered with the jewelry and forced Randa to ask for her help.
The man who came to pick up Xin Qing seemed to be at odds with Landa. He led the way and told Xin Qing enthusiastically, "Don't be afraid. If you have any problems, just say it. The boss will help you."
Xin Qing was taken into a luxuriously decorated conference room. When she entered and saw the man sitting at the head of the table, she was stunned. Then she understood why her original design draft was here. It turned out that someone had picked it up.
"Miss! We meet again. " The man greeted her gently. It was the handsome man who had seen her cry at the entrance of CK.
Sitting to the right was an older woman. She was dressed in a high-class suit and had a shrewd look on her face. She had been scrutinizing Xin Qing from head to toe. When she heard the man's words, she asked in surprise, "Mr. William, you know our student?"
"Not really. We've met twice." He picked up the draft on the table. "The second time, she lost this."
The older woman smiled and said, "No wonder Mr. William insisted that there was a problem with the design. It seems that you and this piece of jewelry are destined to be together!"
"Haha, how about I say that I'm destined to be together with your young and capable designer?" The man named William still had a kind smile on his face. Then he looked at Xin Qing. "Then, this excellent designer, can you tell me now how to make the gem look like the one in your draft?"
Xin Qing glanced at Landa, who was sitting aside with a dark face. She grinned and said, "It's very simple. You just need to coat it with a layer of yellow stone water."
"Yellow stone water?" The middle-aged man who had brought her in asked uncertainly, "Is it yellow stone from China?"
Xin Qing nodded. "Yellow stone is a very rare ornamental stone in China. It used to be used by the royal family. Yellow stone is melted into transparent yellow water at high temperature. Ruby is soaked in it and then inlaid in it to avoid color distortion.
"China's things are really magical!" The middle-aged man who had brought her in was very supportive. After listening to Xin Qing's explanation, his face was full of admiration.
Xin Qing smiled. "There's nothing special about this process. You can find any worker to do it."
"How can we do it casually?" Landa suddenly said. "Mr. William, don't worry. Xin Qing and I will do it ourselves. She's in charge of the design this time. It will be foolproof this time."
William glanced at him. There was still a smile in his eyes, but Xin Qing felt that the smile had turned a lot colder.
"So, Miss Xin Qing also participated in the design this time? Why didn't you tell me before? "
Landa was stunned for a moment. He looked at the old woman, who was obviously the so-called senior management. She glared at Landa and said to William with a smile, "Xin Qing is a new student of the college this time. She participated as a student. According to our usual practice, their names will not be written in." She smiled at Xin Qing again. "However, you did a good job this time. We will make an exception and write your name in. Also, you don't have to take the exam this semester. This design will be your result. We will give you a special A! "
Xin Qing looked at the old woman, who had an obvious warning in her eyes. She lowered her head and thought for a moment. When she looked up again, she smiled at everyone. "Thank you. I will continue to work hard!"
With the exception of William, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The old woman nodded at Xin Qing in satisfaction. "Alright, you may leave now! The college will tell you where to visit during the summer vacation! "
Xin Qing raised her head and pushed open the door of the conference room. Behind her, Landa's defeated expression deeply pleased her. At this moment, she felt like a fledgling that had grown feathers and was ready to fly into the unknown sky.
She was even excited. She rushed out of CK and jumped on the street. Then she suddenly sat quietly on the bench by the street and did not move for a long time.
"Why did you hide it for them? That design was designed by you alone, right?" A gentle voice came. Xin Qing looked up and wiped the tears on her face.
"Ah! Mr. … Mr. William? "She hurriedly wiped her tears.
William raised the corner of his mouth and teased her. "Why do you cry on the street every time I see you?"
"Er …" Xin Qing did not know what to say. She changed the topic and asked him, "Are you satisfied with the design this time?"
William nodded. "I like it very much. I believe that its owner will like it in the future, too." He smiled. "You haven't answered my question. Why did you hide the truth?"
"If I really fall out with them, no one will benefit from it. Besides, it's true that I got the inspiration after I saw Randa's design. So..." Xin Qing shrugged. "The outcome now is for the best, I guess!"
