Chapter 28(1/2)
After Cheng Lang left, Yu Jin did not return to the store immediately, but stayed in the coffee shop for an hour.
She was considering Cheng Lang's proposal.
The reason why she went from being rejected to being serious about it, putting aside Cheng Lang's excellent negotiation skills, more importantly, she found that Xu Qiao was unhappy here.
Not to mention career, she felt that Xu Qiao's current condition was very unhealthy.
If Cheng Lang hadn't come that day, she wouldn't have known at all. It turned out that Xu Qiao had just pretended nothing these days. It turned out that she was really happy and had a different look. She had a very big temper and had no place to scatter.
The fact that Xu Qiao was sick also made her realize that she and Ellio were not objects that Xu Qiao could rely on and trouble as much as she wanted. On the contrary, Cheng Lang seemed to be a garbage can that would allow her to pour all her negative emotions into her without feeling guilty.
From this point of view, in front of this man, she seems to have the upper hand that she will never suffer.
When Yu Jin returned to the store, Xu Qiao was sketching inside, her cell phone was vibrating, but she seemed to be focused.
Yu Jin sat down beside the easel: "The phone is ringing, why don't you answer?"
Xu Qiao stopped writing and said silently: "It should be my best friend who called someone else's phone number, and I blocked her number."
Yu Jin was stunned: "Is that Miss Zhu?"
Xu Qiao nodded.
The Zhu family was unwilling to get involved in the Xu family's chaos, so at the beginning, when the news of the Xu family's accident spread in a small way, Zhu's father immediately sent his daughter abroad.
Xu Qiao did not contact Zhu Li at that time because Zhu’s father asked Zhu Li to take charge of a project overseas. As long as it was done, he would no longer interfere in her marriage and would fully support her career.
Zhu Li, who had no idea, went abroad so enthusiastically. It was not until a few days later that he learned the truth that he understood his father's intention.
After that, Zhu Li, contrary to the family's intentions, insisted on contacting Xu Qiao under the obstruction of his father, and wanted to help her.
But Xu Qiao disappeared.
"Why block her? She should have no choice at that time." Yu Jin said.
"I know, so I have to reject her even more. She has put a lot of effort into her career over the years, and she has been going against the wind. She has finally improved. Don't be upset because I made her father unhappy, it's all empty." Xu Qiao said lightly.
Yu Jin was stunned.
"Do you think this is not like it was said from my mouth?" Xu Qiao looked at her.
"Yes, you shouldn't be so sensible."
"I didn't understand it before, but I suddenly understood it someday." Xu Qiao shrugged, "When I am on an equal footing with her, it doesn't matter if I eat her and use her. Anyway, I have the ability to repay her, but now I don't have anything, and she doesn't owe me anything. If I have a quarrel with my family, I will feel very uncomfortable."
Xu Qiao said this and smiled, and approached Yu Jin's ear like a little secret: "I am actually a little proud."
Yu Jin also laughed: "Then I'm very curious, do you have no such concerns about Cheng Lang? He traveled thousands of miles to deliver letters to you to visit you. Don't you feel psychologically burdened?"
Xu Qiao looked like "What international joke are you making": "Why should I have a burden? Zhu Li doesn't owe me, but he owe me!"
"What do you owe you?"
"I regretted running away after he flirted with him. This kind of scumbag, let alone traveling thousands of miles apart, is not a pity! And I touched his hand and touched his hand! Can my hand be touched casually? This trip was a huge profit!" Xu Qiao said this, and became angry again, "Dog man, it's better not to appear in front of me again. If it comes to the door, I will have to knock on him for mental loss!"
Yu Jin was so amused that he could not help but had an answer to Cheng Lang's proposal.
She walked to the outside room and sent a text message to Cheng Lang: "Mr. Cheng, if you want me to adopt your proposal, I also have a condition: I cannot transfer the studio directly to you, but ask to cooperate with you in the form of a 55-5 investment. Can you accept it?"
Cheng Lang quickly replied: "No problem."
This reply speed made Yu Jin feel that he might have expected this result a long time ago.
Xu Qiao was tired of painting in the inner room, so she took a cup of coffee and asked her while exercising her muscles: "Have you taken out again after taking up the order business?"
"No," Yu Jin turned around and said, "is talking to people about the jewelry studio in China."
"Hmm? Do you still have a studio in the country?"
"There is one in Beicheng. I invested a lot of money at the beginning and it was quite decent, but it was abandoned after I came to Italy."
"Wow, then I should have visited before."
Yu Jin looked at her for a while: "You can also visit now."
"Are you kidding? Air tickets are so expensive." Xu Qiao curled his lips.
"If it's publicly paid, will you go?"
"Public expense?"
Yu Jin nodded: "Elio and I have taken root in Italy. We didn't want to pick up that studio. After all, we have no clones, but now we have more you. Are you interested in taking care of it for me?"
Xu Qiao was stunned: "Are you serious?"
"Of course. For me, it's a pity to let it go so deserted. For you, Beicheng is just a familiar place. Compared to exploring in a foreign country, you can only stay in my store every day, and it's good to start there. You can lay a solid foundation there first, and then come to Italy to develop in depth. During this period, part of the expenses I provide to you for teachers, food, accommodation, hardware and equipment, etc. will be deducted from your salary, and part of it will be recorded in the account, and you will be paid back after you generate income. What do you think?"
"This is too sudden..." Xu Qiao was a little confused, and after thinking for a long time, a sentence came out, "I can't even take good care of myself. How can I manage a jewelry studio? I will smash it!"
"Believe me," Yu Jin said hilariously, "It is stronger than your body that is always low in blood sugar and fever, and you can't ruin it."
"But……"
"But are you worried that when you return to North City now, you will meet someone you don't like?"
"How do you know?"
"Maybe it's the artist's keenness? Don't worry, the geographical location is relatively remote, and I will prepare a temporary stage name for you in the studio." Yu Jin pondered for a moment, "There is the word "Yu" in 'qiao'. How about the surname Yu?"
Xu Qiao blinked gently: "You ask me to consider it."
——
Half a month later, Beicheng Airport.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the golden sunshine in winter fell on the apron, and the plane from Milan slowly stopped on the runway.
The cabin door opened, and a young female passenger wearing a beige tweed coat, black sunglasses and a mask walked into the bridge first. Her long curly hair at her waist was blown by the wind in the hall, so that passers-by who arrived at the hall were watching - they all thought they were lucky and met a female star who had just got off the plane.
But the fantasies of passers-by were quickly shattered.
When they saw this woman slid down the slope of the 24-inch suitcase because of two disobedient ones, and chasing her wildly in high heels in the airport lobby, they withdrew their eyes.
How could there be such a miserable female star?
Xu Qiao was also thinking in her heart that there was no such miserable future jewelry designer as her.
In the past, someone was running her luggage for her, how could she know how to push this thing so that it would not be easy to run!
Fortunately, her miserable situation was soon discovered by people who came to pick her up.
A woman who was slightly older than her hurriedly ran over, stabilized her two huge suitcases, and asked, "Hello, is it Miss Yu?"
"You recognize..." Xu Qiao almost blurted out, "You recognize the wrong person." Thinking of this stage name that he was not used to, he changed his words, "Recognize the right person!"
The other party was stunned and smiled: "Hello Miss Yu, I am Lin Bai from Berg Jewelry Studio. From today on, I will serve as your assistant and be responsible for your daily life and daily work in Beicheng."
"Oh, hello." Xu Qiao looked at her through her sunglasses, "You can recognize me as if I dressed like this. I am so beautiful and recognizable?"
"Ah, I recognized it because Mr. Yu photographed you showing me the outfit you went out for me." Lin Bai finished speaking, "Oh, of course you are also very beautiful."
Xu Qiao looked left and right with caution, raised his hand and greeted: "Then it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go."
Lin Bai was stunned again and swallowed the "why" into his stomach: "Okay, come with me."
Xu Qiao followed Lin Bai to a Porsche.
Lin Bai turned around in the passenger seat and asked: "Mr. Yu said you hope to keep a low profile in North City. Can you see this Cayenne?"
"Okay, this one is the only one to travel normally." Xu Qiao nodded, turned his gaze out the window, and looked at the familiar airport road, and suddenly felt like he was a different life.
Half a month ago, she was moved by Yu Jin's proposal.
The reason why she promised to return to Beicheng was not that she was too greedy for the city, but that Yu Jin mentioned the "new identity", which made her feel a fresh sense of expectation for life.
In the past half a month, she has made some preparations in Milan, and until now she returns to this city. Looking back on the past twenty days of suffering, it is as long as a whole century.
But no matter what, it passed.
Yu Jin split the word "Yi" meaning "New Day" and combined it with part of the word "Qiao" to give her a stage name "Yu Li".
It is not a feather that drifts with the wind and has no support, but a feather that has no roots and no self-reliance.
It sounds a bit cool.
The voice from the passenger seat interrupted her vision for the future: "Miss Yu, should we go to your residence first, or to the studio first?"
"Studio." Xu Qiao was already impatient for the hardware equipment that Yu Jin said that "invested a lot of capital".
The Cayenne fell off the airport road and drove in the opposite direction from the city center.
Xu Qiao said "Huh": "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 Beicheng City are too high. Mr. Yu didn't have much money at hand back then, and he invested all of them in the studio hardware, so the geographical location was not that ideal."
That's really a bad fate.
Xu Qiao wondered if she became famous in the future, could she write an autobiography called "The Legend of Xinglin Bay" - from a highway toll collector to a generation of jewelry masters, let us open the title page and read Ms. Xu's amazing life together...
After thinking about it all the way, Cayenne drove into an entrepreneurial park and finally stopped in front of a small three-story gray villa.
Lin Bai took Xu Qiao upstairs.
Xu Qiao followed her through the reception hall, heading up from the white spiral staircase, looking at the retro murals on the four walls and exclaimed: "I really like your Mr. Yu's taste."
