After hearing this, Huo Anan was reluctant to give the team leader an appreciative look. The corners of her mouth raised, "Killing with a borrowed knife, this is a good trick."

"The design department works according to the rules. Since she wants to take over this task, remember to complete the process." Huo An'an said lightly, "Don't leave any tails that shouldn't be left behind."

"Yes, yes." The team leader nodded and bowed in agreement.

Huo Anan laughed and walked out of the reception room first.

The team leader immediately followed closely behind him.

Neither of them noticed that the noise in the reception room gradually became smaller.

Mr. Xing looked at Zhu Jin suspiciously, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Zhu Jin had a vague guess in her heart, but she needed to see the necklace to be sure of her thoughts.

"As long as you can show me the necklace and take a few photos, I can give you the necklace before your anniversary."

Mr. Xing frowned, still hesitating.

Zhu Jin raised his hands, "I won't touch this necklace, I just want to see it."

Seeing her like this, Mr. Xing gritted his teeth and spread his hands.

I saw a silver pocket watch lying in his palm.

The surface of the pocket watch looks shiny, obviously it is often held in someone's hands and rubbed.

"Open it, I want to see inside." Zhu Jin said.

Mr. Xing tremblingly opened the cover of his pocket watch. Inside the pocket watch was a ticking pendulum, and on the other side of the cover was a small oil painting.

The painting shows a girl in a white skirt holding up her skirt and running among the flowers.

Sky, birds, flowers.

Zhu Jin confirmed his guess——

Mr. Xing’s idea for the necklace came from this pocket watch, which was handmade by his wife.

"Can I talk to your wife in person?" Zhu Jin asked, "After all, she knows best what style of necklace she likes."

Mr. Xing sighed and shook his head, "She has passed away."

This answer made Zhu Jin silent.

"Sorry, I'm not..."

"It's okay." Mr. Xing interrupted her, "I didn't make it clear before."

Mr. Xing's hand gently rubbed the surface of the pocket watch, and his tone was full of nostalgia, "This year is the 60th wedding anniversary of me and her. I hope to give her the best gift. But I don't know what to do."

"Have you never considered customizing it in advance?" Zhu Jinchi asked.

"I have customized more than a dozen pieces, and each one is beautiful, but none of them are what I want."

Mr. Xing looked at the pocket watch, "I want to give her the best things in the world. Oh, forget it. I won't embarrass you, a little girl. If you really can't design it, forget it."

"Wait a moment."

Zhu Jin stood up and walked towards the other party, "Can I take some photos with your pocket watch? I want to give it a try. Maybe I can design the necklace you want."

Whether it was for his own future in the design department or for the infatuation of the old man in front of him, Zhu Jin wanted to give it a try.

Mr. Xing did not agree immediately, but looked at Zhu Jin steadily for a long time before letting go, "Okay. Let's sign the contract now?"

"After I finalize the preliminary design, if you are satisfied, can we sign it again?"

"Okay." Mr. Xing spread his hands and opened his pocket watch, "You can take a picture."

……

Half an hour later, Zhu Jin sent Mr. Xing downstairs and watched him get into the car before turning around and planning to return to the company.

"Sister-in-law." Huo Sitong, who was wearing a light white dress, smiled and waved to Zhu Jin, running quickly to her side, "I didn't expect to see you here."

"By the way, was that customer just now?" Huo Sitong asked hesitantly.

Zhu Jin nodded after getting off the elevator, "Yes."

Huo Sitong bit his lower lip lightly, with a tangled look on his face.

When the elevator reached the design department floor, Huo Sitong followed Zhu Jin and got off the elevator.

"Sister-in-law, you may not be very clear when you first arrived at the design department. The customer just now is the chairman of the Xing Group, and he has very strict requirements on design."

"Many experienced jewelry designers couldn't satisfy him."

This was a subtle reminder to Zhu Jin that this guest was difficult to deal with.

"It's okay." Zhu Jin shook his head.

As a jewelry designer, she hopes that she can fulfill the client's wishes and create a design that the client likes.

But Huo Sitong obviously didn't think so.

She looked around, bit her lip and said, "Sister-in-law, if someone deliberately makes things difficult for you, you can tell me. I will do my best to help you."

"Hmph, what a loud tone." Huo Anan's figure appeared in front of the two of them. She crossed her arms across her chest and glanced at Huo Sitong arrogantly.

"Why don't I know when ordinary clerks in the human resources department will be able to interfere in the affairs of our design department?"

Huo Anan deliberately emphasized the word "ordinary clerk" very hard.

Huo Sitong's face suddenly turned pale. She clutched the documents in her arms tightly, not daring to refute.

The position of the Huo family's house is particularly embarrassing within the Huo family and the Huo Group.

Except for Huo Zhigao, who holds the position of general manager in Huo Group, Huo Sitong and Huo Siyuan are just ordinary employees.

"You don't want your uncle to know that you are nosy, Sitong." Huo An'an glanced at her contemptuously, "What should you say and what shouldn't be said? It's best to use your brain."

After saying that, Huo Anan turned and left.

Huo Sitong's hand holding the document was shaking with anger.

"This matter is not your fault. I can help you explain it to your uncle." Zhu Jin said.

"It's okay." Huo Sitong pursed his lips, forced a smile, and said with red eyes, "Sister-in-law, I'm going back first."

Before Zhu Jin could answer, Huo Sitong got on the elevator back to the personnel department and left.

Zhu Jin didn't take this matter to heart. After returning home, she plunged into the workroom and didn't submit the design draft to the email address of Shen's competition until one o'clock in the morning.

She stood up and stretched before walking out of the workroom.

Zhu Jin was slightly startled when he turned the door handle of the room.

The light in the room is bright, and the man is sitting on the bed reading a book.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Zhu Jin asked in surprise.

After all, Huo Jingcheng had gone to bed very early in the past few days except for doing exercises before going to bed.

"Can't sleep, reading a book." Huo Jingcheng replied without raising his head.

"It's good for your health to rest early. I'm going to take a shower first." Zhu Jin rummaged around in the closet for a change of clothes.

She didn't look back until she walked into the bathroom. Naturally, she missed the man's burning gaze on her.

When Zhu Jin came out of the shower, there was only a dim lamp beside the bed in the room.

She reached out to turn off the light, and as soon as she lay down, she was held in the man's arms.

The warm embrace enveloped her with the scent of a man.

Zhu Jin put his arms around the other person's waist, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

"Yes." The man said lazily in a low voice, "Waiting for you."

Three simple words made Zhu Jin's heart feel warm.

"Do you have any plans for this Saturday and Sunday?" Huo Jingcheng asked.

"No."

"You just want to accompany me back to Shen's house. Grandpa and grandma want to see you."
