This Damned Sweetness

After Cheng Lang left, Yu Jin did not return to the shop immediately, but stayed in the coffee shop for an hour.

She is considering Cheng Lang's proposal.

The reason why she went from refusal to serious consideration, aside from Cheng Lang's excellent negotiation skills, and more importantly, she found that Xu Qiao was unhappy here.

Leaving aside her career, she feels that Xu Qiao's current state is very unhealthy.

If it hadn't been for Cheng Lang's arrival that day, she would have no idea. It turns out that Xu Qiao was just pretending to be nonchalant these days. It turns out that she is really happy in a different way. It turns out that she is very temperamental, but she has no place to sprinkle.

The fact that Xu Qiao was ill also made her realize that she and Elio were not objects for Xu Qiao to rely on and have trouble freely. On the contrary, Cheng Lang seems to be a trash can that allows her to pour all the negative emotions in without feeling guilty.

In this way, in front of this man, she seems to have the upper hand that will never suffer.

When Yu Jin returned to the store, Xu Qiao was sketching inside. Her phone was vibrating, but she looked thoughtless.

Yujin sat down at the easel: "The phone is ringing, why not answer it?"

Xu Qiao stopped writing and said silently: "It should be my girlfriend who borrowed someone's phone to call, and I blocked her number."

Yu Jin was taken aback: "That Miss Zhu?"

Xu Qiao nodded.

The Zhu family did not want to interfere with the Xu family's troubles, so at first, when the news of the Xu family's accident spread to a small area, Zhu's father immediately sent his daughter out of the country.

Xu Qiao didn't contact Zhu Li at the time because Zhu Li's father asked Zhu Li to go overseas to take charge of a project. As long as it was completed, he would no longer interfere with her marriage and fully support her career.

Unknowingly, Zhu Li left the country so eagerly. He didn't understand his father's intentions until he learned the truth a few days later.

After that, Zhu Li went against the meaning of the family and insisted on contacting Xu Qiao under his father's obstruction, and wanted to help her.

But Xu Qiao disappeared.

"Why black her? She should have been involuntarily at that time." Yu Jin said.

"I know, that's why she has to refuse her. She has put a lot of effort into her career over the years. She has been on the road against the wind, and finally got better. Don't make her dad upset because of me. Qiao said lightly.

Yujin was startled.

"Do you think it doesn't seem to come from my mouth?" Xu Qiao looked at her.

"Yes, you shouldn't be so sensible."

"I didn't understand it before. I don't seem to understand it someday." Xu Qiao shrugged. "When sitting on an equal footing with her, it doesn't matter if you eat her and use her. Anyway, I have the ability to repay her, but I There is nothing now, and she doesn't owe me. If I have a stalemate with my family, I will be very uncomfortable."

Xu Qiao smiled at this point, and leaned to Yu Jin's ear like a little secret: "I am actually a little proud."

Yu Jin also laughed: "Then I'm curious, don't you have such concerns about Cheng Lang? He sent you a letter all the way to visit you, don't you feel a psychological burden?"

Xu Qiao said, "What are you kidding about internationally?" "Why are you burdened? Zhu Li doesn't owe me, but he owes me!"

"What do you owe you?"

"I regretted that he ran away after he had teased him. This kind of scumbag, not to mention traveling thousands of miles, is not a pity! And I gave him his hand, and I touched his hand! My hand can be given casually. Did people touch it? He made a lot of money this trip!" Xu Qiao said, and became angry again, "Dog man, it's better not to show up in front of me again. If you still bring it to the door, I will knock on him. No mental damage fee!"

Yu Jin couldn't laugh or cry, but he had an answer to Cheng Lang's proposal in his heart.

She walked outside and sent a text message to Cheng Lang: "Mr. Cheng, if you want me to adopt your proposal, I also have one condition: I cannot directly transfer the studio to you, but ask you to buy shares in the form of a fifty-five Partnership. Can you accept it?"

Cheng Lang quickly replied: "No problem."

This response speed made Yu Jin feel that he might have expected this result long ago.

Xu Qiao was tired from painting, took a cup of coffee and walked out, while moving her muscles and bones, she asked her: "Just went out and took orders again?"

"No," Yu Jin said back, "I'm talking about the jewelry studio in China."

"Huh? Do you still have a studio in China?"

"There is one, in North City, where I invested a lot of capital and looked decent, but it was abandoned after I came to Italy."

"Wow, then I should have visited before."

Yujin looked at her for a while: "You can also visit now."

"Are you kidding? The ticket is expensive." Xu Qiao pouted.

"If it's public expense, can you go?"

"Official expense?"

Yujin nodded: "Elio and I have taken root in Italy. We didn't want to pick up that studio. After all, we are lack of skills, but now we have more of you. Are you interested in taking care of it for me?"

Xu Qiao was stunned: "Are you serious?"

"Of course. It's a pity for me to leave it so deserted. For you, Beicheng is just a place you are familiar with. Compared with groping in a strange foreign country, you can only stay in my store every day. It’s also a good start there. You can lay the foundation there first, and then come to Italy for further development. During this period, I will provide you with teachers, board and lodging, hardware equipment, etc., part of which is deducted from your salary and part of it is recorded in the account. Come on, pay me back after you generate income. What do you think?"

"It's too sudden..." Xu Qiao was a little confused, thinking for a long time, "I can't even take care of myself, how to manage a jewelry studio, I will smash it!"

"Trust me," Yujin said amused. "Compared with your low blood sugar and feverish body, it is stronger than you, and you can't break it."

"but……"

"But you are worried, when you return to North City now, you will meet someone you don't like?"

"how do you know?"

"Maybe it is the artist's keenness? Don't worry. The geographical location is relatively biased. I will also prepare a temporary stage name for you in the studio." Yu Jin pondered for a moment. "There is a character for'Yu' in'Alice', last name. How about Yu?"

Xu Qiao blinked slightly: "You let me think about it."

——

Half a month later, North City Airport.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the golden winter sun fell on the tarmac, and the plane from Milan slowly stopped on the runway.

The cabin door opened, and a young female passenger wearing a beige woolen coat, black sunglasses and a mask walked into the bridge first, her waist-length curly hair was blown by the draughty wind, so that passers-by in the arrival hall paid attention. ——I thought I was lucky, I met a female star who just got off the plane.

But the fantasies of passers-by were quickly disillusioned.

When they saw this woman slid down the **** of the twenty-four-inch suitcase because of two disobedience, and stepped on high heels in the airport lobby to chase wildly, they withdrew their gazes.

How can there be such a miserable female star.

Xu Qiao was also thinking right now, how could she be such a miserable future jewelry designer.

Someone used to carry the luggage for her, how could she know how to push this thing so that it is not easy to run!

Fortunately, her tragic situation was quickly discovered by the people who came to pick up the plane.

A woman slightly older than her rushed over, held two large suitcases for her, and asked: "Hello, is it Miss Yu?"

"Do you recognize..." Xu Qiao almost blurted out "You recognized the wrong person", remembering that this is a stage name that he is not accustomed to, and changed her words, "I recognize the right person!"

The other party stunned and laughed: "Hello, Miss Yu, I am Lin Bai from Burg Jewelry Studio. From today I will be your assistant, responsible for your daily life and daily work in Beicheng."

"Oh, hello." Xu Qiao looked at her through sunglasses. "You can recognize me when I'm dressed up like this. I'm so beautiful and recognizable?"

"Ah, I recognized it because Mr. Yu took pictures of your outfit when you went out to show me." Lin Bai finished speaking, "Oh, of course you are beautiful and recognizable."

Xu Qiao looked around vigilantly, and raised his hand to say hello: "Then it is not suitable to stay here for long, let's go."

Lin Bai was taken aback again, swallowing "why" into his stomach: "Okay, you come with me."

Xu Qiao followed Lin Bai into a Porsche.

Lin Bai looked back in the passenger seat and asked, "Mr. Yu said that you want everything to be low-key in Beicheng. Can you see this Cayenne?"

"Yes, this is the one for ordinary trips." Xu Qiao nodded, turned his gaze out of the window, and looked at the familiar airport road, suddenly feeling like a world away.

Half a month ago, she was moved by Yu Jin's proposal.

The reason she agreed to return to Beicheng was not because she was greedy for the city, but because Yu Jin’s "new identity" in her mouth gave her a fresh sense of anticipation in life.

In the past half month, she has made some preparations in Milan until now, when she returns to this city, looking back on the twenty days of suffering in the past, it is like a whole century.

But no matter what, it passed.

Yujin took apart the character "Yi" which means "new day", combined with part of the character "Alice", and gave her the stage name "Yu Li".

It's not a feather that floats in the wind and has nothing to rely on, but a feather that can stand on its own.

It sounds a bit cool.

The voice from the passenger seat interrupted her vision for the future: "Miss Yu, shall we go to your residence or the studio first?"

"Studio." Xu Qiao could not wait for the hardware equipment that Yu Jin said "invested a lot of capital".

Cayenne turned around after driving off Airport Road and drove in the opposite direction to the city center.

Xu Qiao said, "Isn't this the way to Xinglin Bay?"

"Yes, the studio is not far from Xinglin Bay. The housing prices in the central area of ​​the North City are too high. Mr. Yu didn't have much money at hand, so he invested all in the studio hardware, so the location is not so ideal."

That is really evil fate.

Xu Qiao secretly wondered if he would become famous in the future, could he write an autobiography called "The Legend of Xinglin Bay"-from a high-speed toll collector to a generation of jewelry masters, let us open the title page and read Ms. Xu’s amazing and stunning life together...

After thinking about it all the way, Cayenne drove into a business park, and finally stopped in front of a small three-story gray bungalow.

Lin Bai took Xu Qiao upstairs.

Xu Qiao followed her through the reception hall and went all the way up the white spiral staircase. He looked at the retro murals on the four walls and exclaimed: "I really like your taste."

Lin Bai smiled and led her into a room on the second floor, then opened the door and said, "You like it. This is an independent studio. Mr. Yu said that you are polishing your painting skills recently and have a higher demand for the studio, so we deliberately renew The arrangement is tidied up."

Xu Qiao looked at the open and surplus space in front of him and the huge transparent glass curtain wall, and nodded with satisfaction: "The lighting is good." After a glance, he followed Lin Bai into the next craft room.

"The craft room is the most valuable place here. We didn't dare to open the lock before you came." Lin Bai took the key and opened the door, and Xu Qiao walked in and stopped.

A large metalworking table, professional first-class lighting, cutting, quenching, welding, grinding, polishing equipment, complete chemicals and hand tools, a dazzling array of semi-finished products-this is simply a heaven for jewelry designers.

There is no jewelry lover who can not be moved by such a scene.

Just like meeting love, Xu Qiao's heart was pounding and she was dull for a long time before she said with tears: "Fortunately I'm here..."

Lin Bai laughed and watched her wandering around every corner of the room, saying, "Such good equipment is ruined, it's a violent thing. Fortunately, I'm here..."

It took half an hour for Xu Qiao to finally walk out of this paradise reluctantly, pointing to the upward spiral staircase and asking Lin Bai: "What is the third floor? Is it my office?"

"Ah, no." Lin Bai was a little embarrassed, and pointed to the room on the other side of the second floor. "Your office is there, and the third floor is the office of another partner of Yu Zonghe's studio."

Xu Qiao was taken aback: "Do you still have a partner?"

"Yes, it's a new boss who bought shares a while ago."

"Who?"

"I don't know too well. The new boss is a bit mysterious. He hasn't shown up these days, but he is here today and is waiting for you to sign the contract."

Xu Qiao nodded suspiciously, a thought flashed through his mind, but it was a pity that he couldn't catch it for a while.

Lin Bai led her to continue walking up. She walked slowly and slowly, and felt that something was wrong as she walked.

When Lin Bai knocked on the door of the independent office on the third floor, she stopped suddenly: "Wait, what is your new boss's name?"

At the same time, there was a sound of "in" inside the door, and Lin Bai removed the frosted glass door.

Standing outside the door, Xu Qiao looked inward, and saw the man in a neat suit sitting on the boss chair, looking at her with a wait-and-waiting look.

"Miss Yu, I have been waiting for you for a long time." He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a faint smile.
