At the end of November, the Dijing Cultural Exchange Market.

As soon as Shi Yunnan entered the venue, he saw Yuan Rui who was looking forward to it at the door. The other party rarely wore a three-piece suit. After a little hair care, he faded away and looked like an elite.

"Yuan Rui."

"Ancestor, you can count as coming!" Yuan Rui ran up, his eyes couldn't hide his nervousness.

When Shi Yunnan heard this name, he immediately laughed, "Isn't I late for this?"

"Check in first!"

Yuan Rui pulled him to the front desk, carefully supervising Shi Yunnan's signing and licensing, and then secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Shi Yunnan hung the work badge he received on his neck, and followed Yuan Rui into the venue simultaneously.

The Dijing Jewelry Auction Charity Gala has been held for nine consecutive years, and there have been jewellery designs of cutting-edge designers that cost tens of millions in the gala, and they became famous in one fell swoop!

Therefore, more and more designers are attracted.

Where there is jewellery design, there are many luxury merchants and ladies who come here, and the total price of jewellery auctioned out has been higher than once, and has even become the vane of Huaguo jewellery design.

The auction banquet hall has a large area, divided into an auction area and an exchange area.

With half an hour before the official auction, Shi Yunnan went to sit in no hurry, grabbed a thin auction brochure, and took Yuan Rui to the exchange area on the right.

A total of 22 design works were auctioned for the 9th charity gala, but the most interesting of them were the last two ‘x designs’.

In other words, it is the design that does not show the true appearance in the auction book.

"The designer (group) who participated in the auction for the first time, the only two best designs?" Shi Yunnan read out the rough rules about'x design', and raised his eyebrows slightly. "I remember you told me, our works are just Selected as the'x' design."

Yuan Rui was busy with his studio's participation in auctions, and he understood these things very clearly. After hearing this, he replied, "The organizer has played tricks, and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing."

Shi Yunnan asked, "How do you say?"

Yuan Rui explained, "This can be regarded as a recognition of our design by the organizer's selection team? But it was arranged at the end of the auction."

On the one hand, it is to suspend the appetite of the guests for the auction and prevent them from seeing all the auction exhibits leaving the venue early.

But on the other hand, the curiosity of the guests has been caught to the highest point. If the actual jewelry on display does not meet their expectations, it is likely that the auction price will not rise.

After all, as the auction progresses to the end, many guests who really like to collect design items are likely to clear up their ‘budget’ early, sitting for two hours, and where is the patience to shoot ‘not as good as expected’ works?

"Don't you want your design and our studio to gain popularity and reputation in this auction?"

Yuan Rui quietly expressed hope, "I listened to my mother this morning and went to the temple in Keling next door to worship."

When Shi Yunnan heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but chuckle. He glanced at the people around him and teased, "Do you still believe this?"

"Well, begging is always good." Yuan Rui was a little embarrassed and changed the subject, "Anyway, I also hope your design will become famous in the first battle! Isn't that good for our studio?"

Shi Yunnan asked again, "Whose other x-designed work is from?"

"The road to the enemy is narrow!" Yuan Rui subconsciously grinds the molars and reports a familiar name, "Lingyu Jade Design."

Although Lingyu Design is an established company in the jade design industry, they have never participated in a charity auction before.

This time don’t know what the reason is, also took the design works to participate in the offline screening, and was selected as ‘x design’ at the same time.

Compared with other design exhibits that have been printed on the auction book, the two exhibits selected for ‘x Design’ form a silent competition——

Who is more liked by the wealthy guests at the scene? Whose works can be auctioned at a higher price?

If there is a comparison, there will be winners and losers. If you win or lose, you will inevitably step on it.

What's more, Lingyu and Yuanshi themselves had peer competition and festivals before this.

Shi Yunnan asked, "I don't know the design style of their home yet?"

"Well, it's all confidential." Yuan Rui replied, "but I was stuck at this afternoon to hand in our work, and I also specially asked someone to guard it, so there is no mistake."

Once bitten, twice shy.

Yuan Rui was afraid of another situation like Xie Keyue's spirit jade and jade, so he took extra care to protect his own design, and even the money he asked to be guarded came from his own pocket.

Shi Yunnan smiled and said nothing.

In less than a month, Yuan Rui was ‘mature and stable’ in all aspects, a lot, although the milk fat on his face has not been completely wiped out.

The two walked forward a few steps, Yuan Rui stopped walking with a look of dislike, Shi Yunnan followed his gaze and saw three figures——

Two men and one woman.

One of the young men is the designer Yang Sen who jumped from his studio to Lingyu.

Standing in the middle of the three is a man about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a three-piece dark gold suit, a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, and thin lips staring at the surrounding movement with a smile, always giving people. An indescribable taste of calculation.

Another woman is wearing a black wrap-around skirt with long curly hair, exquisite makeup, and big red lips. At this moment, she is very close to the man in the dark gold suit, and it can be seen that the relationship between the two is unusual.

In comparison, Yang Sen is more like a worker following the leader.

Looking briefly at the time, the other party also noticed the existence of Yuan Rui and Shi Yunnan.

The man in the dark gold suit walked over first, slid a little joke on the two of them, and said with a smile, "The former young master, I will treat you with admiration for three days."

"Is this the designer of your studio?" He gestured slightly to Shi Yunnan, "Designer Shi Yunnan? I have looked up to the name for a long time."

Yuan Rui did not show overly obvious disgust, and whispered to Shi Yunnan, "Gu Jue, the Lingyu design that only took over last year."

His identity in the Gu clan is similar to that of Yuan Rui’s jade in the original clan, except that he took over the Ling Jade Design Department two years earlier.

When Shi Yunnan heard this name, he finally had some reaction

In the original book, after Xie Keyue and Yuan Rui made Yuan’s jade design bigger, they merged and acquired Lingyu Design, whose performance was declining, and Gu Jue was also one of his many ‘admirers’.

Unexpectedly, the current situation is reversed.

Xie Keyue and Gu Jue reached an investment cooperation, but they became rivals in an open and secret fight with the original clan.

Shi Yunnan quickly calmed down her emotions, showing a little politeness, "Mr. Gu, you are polite."

Gu Jue didn't speak, but stared at Shi Yunnan with interest.

Maybe it was Gu Jue's gaze that stayed on Shi Yunnan's face for too long, Yuan Rui and the black skirt girl next to Gu Jue reacted at the same time——

"Mr. Gu, don't you introduce me?"

"Gu Jue, what do you look at!"

Women in black dresses are jealous and want to regain their sense of existence;

Yuan Ruichun belongs to the ‘rabbit guarding the radish’, and he is afraid that Gu Jue wants to ‘poach Shi Yunnan’ and is always on guard.

Gu Jue withdrew his thoughts, and gave an indifferent introduction, "This is the design supervisor of our Lingyu Design No. 1, Song Miaoke."

"I heard that Mr. Shi's design is also one of the final'x designs'?"

Song Miaoke raised his chin slightly, and said something that seemed friendly, but his eyes flowed with disdain, "I look forward to seeing your work at the auction dinner later."

Shi Yunnan glanced at the corner of her lips, but did not answer.

Song Miaoke probably felt that he was folded and stuck in his throat. She hurriedly looked sideways at Gu Jue, as if she hoped that the other party could help him with a word.

Yang Sen, who was standing on the side, saw the woman's small movements, and his expressionless expression flashed by.

Song Miaoke is said to be in charge of designing the first one, rather than the little lover Gu Jue brought with him.

I heard the gossip of the employees in the company saying that the other party took Gu Jue as soon as he graduated from an unknown design school. He clearly didn't have much design ability, but he took a rocket to the top position of design supervisor.

My favorite thing to do is to take the draft of the intern’s design and make a little “modification” to turn it into his own work. But because of Gu Jue’s favoritism with one eye closed, no intern dared to interact with it. She contends.

Gu Jue naturally noticed the little lover's intentions, but he didn't really care about it.

To be honest, he was tired of Song Miaoke and was just waiting to dump people after the charity auction was over.

However, Hara, as their long-time ‘rival’, has finally caught the opportunity, how could he easily let go of this opportunity to ‘humiliate’ his opponent?

Gu Jue turned his gaze at Yuanrui again, and said lightly, "I heard that Lu Zhaoan resigned from Yuanrui?"

"..."

In a word, he squeezed Yuanrui's fateful door, "What does it matter to you?"

"It's a pity."

Gu Jue shook his head regretfully, "Yuan's is in Lu Zhaoan's hands, and maybe there is still a way to survive, but if we change someone to take over, our Gu's is likely to be short of a competitor."

These words were both overt and dark, all referring to Yuanshi's bankruptcy in Yuanrui's hands.

Yuan Rui's face became stiff, and tried to suppress his anger in public, "Gu Jue, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Mr. Gu's meaning is not very clear?"

Song Miaoke opened his mouth softly, and there was a needle hidden in the cotton. "The original jade carvings that the original family has kept are not made, so he halfway changed to make jade designs and participated in such charity auctions. The original young master and Mr. Shi Isn't the design progressing so that I want to rely on this dinner to win a wave of fame?"

She has been able to stay for so long beside her always fond of the new and disgusted with the old, naturally she has a set of skills that she touts and caters to.

Sure enough, Gu Jue raised his lips when he heard this, and he was even more interesting to see Yuan Rui's gradually flushing angry face——

In the past, when the two sides met on jade occasions, Lu Zhaoan came forward to deal with it.

Lu Zhaoan is a man who doesn't eat hard or soft. Gu Jue feels like a fist hitting the cotton every time he tries, and he can't provoke the slightest reaction from the other party. It is extremely boring.

But Yuan Rui is much more fun.

They are all born in a jade family. Does Gu Jue know how many catties the other party has? It is the arrogant young master who is too well protected by his parents and elder brother! How much real ability can you have?

Yuanshi has no Lu Zhaoan, and he is doomed to fail in Yuan Rui's hands! Now that changed route and started jade design, was just struggling.

I heard that after Yang Sen and others were dug into Lingyu by Xie Keyue, Shi Yunnan did this ‘x design’ alone?

No matter how good Shi Yunnan is, can he match the success of their Lingyu design department?

Looking at Yuan Rui's suffocation but unable to vent, he has the pleasure of playing his opponent between his palms.

Yuan Rui fell on both sides and clenched his hands into fists, his chest hidden under the suit was rising and falling rapidly.

If he could, he would have punched Gu Jue in the face a long time ago, but not now. Charity auctions strictly prohibit fights between designers and design studios. In severe cases, they will be directly disqualified for auction of exhibits. .

There are surveillance around this hall, and he will definitely be caught once he takes a shot!

Yuan Rui's fist was clenched, but he told himself over and over again in his heart to calm down——

It's okay for him to be targeted by Gu Jue for insults, but he can't hurt Shi Yunnan!

The jade works that good friends have worked so hard to design and create must not be disqualified for auction due to their own irrationality.

During this period of time, when Yuan Rui invited designers, he had closed doors and heard too many ridicules. Why should he care more this time?

Yuan Rui reluctantly held his mind, and looked at her friend with a smile on her side, "Yunnan, let's go, it's almost time, let's sit down and wait for the start."

Shi Yunnan looked at Yuan Rui's eyes and desperately suppressed the mist, grabbed his wrist involuntarily to stop him from leaving, "Yuan Rui wait a minute, I have something to say to Mr. Gu and the others."

"what?"

Gu Jue's narrow and long phoenix eyes dazzled the joy of the winner, as if he had already reaped a victory in all aspects of the next auction that had not yet begun.

Look at Yuan Rui, who didn't even dare to refute his words.

Their works can be shortlisted for ‘x design’, maybe it was Hara’s fight for the face, and they paid money to buy it.

"Mr Gu, our jade studio has just started. We need to find ways to accumulate contacts, gain fame, and expand the market."

Shi Yunnan did not conceal the purpose of their trip, because every new career requires a beginning process.

He paused, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "And some companies' jade designs are already going downhill."

"..."

The Lingyu trio, who heard this, looked stunned at the same time.

"Mr. Shi, did you say this incorrectly?" Song Miaoke retorted, looking smoothly towards Gu Jue.

"Did I refer to your spirit jade? You don't have to substitute yourself, right?" Shi Yunnan asked with a smile, "Designer Song, dare you ask why your spirit jade came to this auction dinner?"

"You are such a big company, you have been in the jade design industry for so many years, how come back to the same starting point as our studio now?"

When Shi Yunnan looked at Song Miaoke's question, he was actually hitting Gu Jue's face.

The charity auction has progressed to the ninth year. Before, Lingyu Design didn't bother to participate. How could it be that after two years in the hands of Gu Jue, he regressed to grab a spot with a new jade studio like them?

Isn't it even more embarrassing to spread this out?

Obviously there was no heavy sentence, Shi Yunnan analyzed Lingyu's current situation, and also squeezed the opponent's life gate.

The joy in Gu Jue's eyes immediately dissipated, and Yuan Rui, who was standing aside, caught the corners of his stiff lips, and suddenly felt sick.

"Also, Yuan Rui is very good, Yuan Shi will not fall in his hand!" Shi Yunnan silently squeezed Yuan Rui's wrist, secretly giving support and affirmation.

"On the contrary, Mr. Gu, who wants to mock others, might as well reflect on himself."

"Although it is the first time I have seen Lingyu's design director, Miss Song really made me shine."

Shi Yunnan learned from the other party's ‘open mockery’, and before leaving, he didn’t forget to add a ‘praise’ to Gu Jue, “Mr. Gu, good foresight.”

"..."

Gu Jue's face was completely pulled down.

Song Miaoke also heard the ridicule in the words, and his face turned red on the spot.

It's a pity that Shi Yunnan didn't want to give them any more eyes at all. He pulled Yuan Rui's head and walked to the auction area on the left without looking back.

Song Miaoke stared at the distance between the two of them, and immediately complained to Gu Jue for acting like a baby, "Mr. Gu! Look at these two of them, I..."

"Shut up!"

Gu Jue yelled at her infrequently, his pupils pressed down with hostility.

Xie Keyue was right.

Shi Yunnan is indeed a man with a knife in his smile.

Gu Jue adjusted the neckline of his suit, and asked in a low voice, "Yang Sen, how about the things I'm going to do for you?"

"Relax, President Gu, I have already arranged it."

Yang Sen, who had been silent all the time, stepped forward and asked respectfully in a low voice, "Or? I will contact them again to ensure the smooth progress of the next step?"

"Ok."

Gu Jue nodded and explained cautiously, "This is related to the position of our spirit jade in this auction. Let them all be careful."

Yang Sen replied, "Okay."

Gu Jue reluctantly suppressed the stubborn energy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth became curved again-wait, what can be the verbal act? The real contest has not yet begun!

Only then did Gu Jue pay attention to Song Miaoke, who had just been reprimanded in the cold, and took her to the auction area to take a seat.

Yang Sen, who was left on the spot, put a smile away, and could no longer suppress the aggrieved and unwilling look——

He and the other five designers thought that after hopping into Lingyu, they were directly assigned to the newly established "Design Department 2nd Group", and he was promoted to the second group leader at the same time.

I thought that would get better treatment and room for improvement than the Hara family, but what happened? It turned out to be directly into the cold palace and sit on the cold bench!

Their designs cannot be reused, they will always be required templated, and occasionally a good inspiration point will be directly expropriated by a group of designs.

In the second group, designers expressed dissatisfaction, but Lingyu's senior management ignored them.

Two days ago, someone asked to resign, but Lingyu’s Personnel Department told them——

"It's okay to resign, but the work agreement they signed with Lingyu could not be completed and they need to pay liquidated damages."

The old design company is like that, and there is no humanity and morality at all.

Until this happened, Yang Sen and others realized afterwards: Lingyu didn't really value their design at all, but just wanted to force the Yuanshi to retreat from this hidden competitor!

In contrast, they knew that the original ‘cooperation agreement’ was given by the Hara family to truly give them respect, and that’s what they really valued their ability and design!

By now, they have no turning back.

It is impossible for the Yuan family to want them to be like a wall of grass, and it is not that simple to want to leave Lingyu.

Regret it?

Regret, regret is so green!

Shi Yunnan took Yuan Rui and walked back to the auction area to find their corresponding position and sit down.

The chair was not stable yet, Yuan Rui burst into tears on Shi Yunnan's body, twitching, "Yunnan, thank you."

"..."

Shi Yunnan was stunned when he heard Yuan Rui's cry. Because he was suddenly embraced, he couldn't help but pat the other party's back, "What's your nerve? I'm not afraid of others watching jokes."

Yuan Rui withdrew, and quickly wiped the water in his eyes, "Yuanshi will definitely rise in my hands! Your investment will not lose money! So you must not believe that Gu Jue's nonsense!"

While wiping his eyes awkwardly, he was afraid that his ‘radish’ would be pried away by others.

Shi Yunnan was speechless and funny, "Save you, why didn't I see that your lacrimal glands are so developed before?"

"No, don't talk nonsense." Yuan Rui denied, and began to look around and change the subject.

Only ten minutes before the official start of the auction, most of the seats were filled with wealthy businessmen and women who came to participate in the charity auction.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure at the door, "Yunnan, isn't that your husband?"

"..."

Shi Yunnan was taken aback, and immediately followed the direction of his fingers.

Luo Lingsheng controlled the wheelchair to enter the hall, and beside him, besides Yuan Meng and Qin Jian, their working partners, there was also a familiar figure—Yu Shuo standing beside him.

Maybe it's because there is telepathy between couples.

Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng were tens of meters away, and they were able to aim their eyes accurately.

Shi Yunnan curled her lips and stood up immediately, "Sit down first, I'll go look for him."

See husband, lost friends.

Before Yuan Rui had time to answer, Shi Yunnan strode towards Luo Lingsheng in a stride.

"Didn't you say you can come here later?"

"End the meeting early." Luo Lingsheng replied.

He glanced at Yu Shuo beside him, as if he was afraid that Shi Yunnan would be as unhappy as last time, "I met him temporarily."

Yu Shuo heard a little bit of ‘rearing ears’, but was shocked and found it funny, "Yeah."

"Let me see if there are any good items in this jewelry auction today, buy a birthday gift for my mother, and be a charity by the way..."

He paused slightly, his tone low, "I think she should be happy."

When Luo Lingsheng heard this, he cast a short but complicated gaze at him, and Shi Yunnan immediately turned his attention back, "How many rows are you sitting in?"

Qin briefed out the seat number, "Sit in eight rows in a row."

Yu Shuo answered casually, "I'm in row seven."

These positions were all close to the original positions of Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui, and the group quickly found their positions and took their seats after adjustment.

"What's the date of your design?" Luo Lingsheng only cares about his lover's work.

"On the twenty-first, it's not very good." Shi Yunnan replied.

He suddenly remembered something and seriously exhorted, "Don't bid blindly when you come, I also want to see the true level of my design works in the minds of these guests."

"..."

It is Luo Lingsheng who intends to participate in the auction and is bound to win.

He was silent for several seconds before answering, "Okay, then you will also design a little thing for me in the future?"

Shi Yunnan smiled, tilted his head and bit his ears, "May I design a ring for us?"

Luo Lingsheng was about to respond, and there was movement from three or four seats away.

Shi Yun looked at the south side and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He said to his friend beside him, "Yuan Rui, you are really right, Yuanjia has a narrow road."

Shi Yunnan sat next to Luo Lingsheng and Yuan Meng and Qin Jian deliberately changed the positions where he and Yuan Rui were just sitting.

Unexpectedly, the chair hadn't been hot yet, they actually met Gu Jue and Song Miaoke in the same row.

The eyes of the two sides met, and an invisible contest began.
