Chapter 2122: Earrings

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t refuse; she knows best how to mix milk tea. Yue Yu can’t really help much, but after spending so much time together, she somewhat knows Jiaojiao’s taste. Sometimes, as soon as Jiaojiao reaches out her hand, she hands her the little ingredients Jiaojiao wants.

Nan Jiaojiao quite envies Yue Yu for her good connections. She’s indeed just a fresh graduate who joined the company, full of passion towards everyone, with an appearance that is charmingly clever. When she wears glasses, she has an academic air, and her fashion sense is not outstanding but never wrong. Women seasoned in the workplace are all sharp; no one wants to be overshadowed. So, Yue Yu’s personality and image are best for compliments. Being around her is quite pleasant, and over time, the initial prejudices and petty thoughts gradually soften. Now, quite a few people genuinely consider Yue Yu a friend.

Nan Jiaojiao thought, she usually doesn’t like to talk much, so few people proactively make friends with her. But there’s no need to make the work relationship awkward, so she took the initiative to start the conversation, “What were you all discussing just now? I heard it from outside. You sounded really happy!”

Yue Yu chimed in, “Anna bought a pair of pearl earrings; they are especially beautiful. I heard they’re designed by some master.”

The colleague named “Anna,” along with several other colleagues, leaned in closer without moving their seats. “It’s Rose, who won the International Master Designer Competition for three consecutive years. Her resume is filled with countless awards big and small, and she became famous early on. But suddenly, she faded over these years. This is her first work in three years, supposedly a full set of jewelry. The earrings were released the day before yesterday and sold out immediately. If I didn’t have connections, I wouldn’t have been able to order them.”

Anna’s family is well-off, and her boyfriend is a second-generation rich. She’s not lacking herself except for talent in design and consistent effort, which is why she’s still just a junior designer. Long durations without works don’t matter; after all, her family is wealthy, and it’s irrelevant whether she gets this performance bonus or not.

A colleague who knows her well glanced outside, “Not appropriate to bring it to the company. We are jewelry designers, after all. If Director Qin sees you wearing another designer’s works, you’ll be scolded.”

Anna lifted her chin slightly, “It’s fine. Rose signed a collaboration with a domestic perfume company to design themed pieces for their new fragrance. Her previous studio account even revealed a few sketches. The perfume company has promoted her online extensively. But they are not in this field, so if they intend to switch industries, and we at E.Y. don’t respond, other companies will tear them apart. They’ve already been in contact with Director Qin. Very soon, the news of the collaboration will be released, so even if Director Qin sees it, he won’t get angry.”

“No wonder, it’s understandable. They’re promoting the perfume, not trying to offend anyone in another industry. If E.Y. cooperates with them, it will make things easier.”

Anna nodded, “Indeed. I hear the bracelet and rings will be announced this afternoon, with the necklace last. Reportedly, the necklace design is Rose’s masterpiece after three years of silence. The topic is already heating up. I’ve already pre-ordered it, just not sure if I’ll secure one.”

Her colleague envied her, “You’re lucky, you have a fiancé who loves you so much. He’ll definitely secure one to cheer you up.”

Anna proudly raised her eyebrows, “If it weren’t so rare, I would buy some to gift you all too. But since I haven’t secured any, I won’t boast.”
