Chapter 410: The Proud Little Angel
There was only one major event at the end of the year: the International TTF Jewelry Contest. Due to certain circ.u.mstances, it met with Christmas Day. This was an international contest, and there were eight seats reserved for the appraising team. Everyone was fighting for it like crazy.
The boss said, “Qianshu, you have to attend. The New York lab wants to test you.”
“No, I can’t. It’s Christmas, and I have already made plans.” Shen Qianshu did not want to miss out on this opportunity at all, but the contest was at night.
On Christmas Day, there was an annual contest held in the underground casinos, and she could not miss out on it.
“What could be more important than this that made you give up on such a big opportunity? It’s going to be the first time you get to go onto the appraiser panel for an international compet.i.tion, and that is such an important thing for you, don’t you know? You can’t reject this.”
Shen Qianshu pointed at some people and said, “There are so many main appraisers in our lab. Just pick a random one. Stop pointing at me.”
Ah… Being exceptionally talented can be a bit of trouble sometimes.
This tells us that we should never do too well in our side job!
Seeing that she had rejected the offer several times, he could only accept it. There was only one seat offered to Gubelin this time, and the New York lab had given it to City A’s lab. An appraiser that was able to get into an international compet.i.tion was definitely someone of high status.
Shen Qianshu was just about to recommend someone when the Boss said, “Since Qianshu doesn’t want it, let’s have Mengxi go for it.”
Initially, Lu Mengxi did not want to agree to it. She felt a little enraged that the Gubelin Boss had thought of Shen Qianshu first instead of her for such an important opportunity. She was, after all, an internationally renowned appraiser while Shen Qianshu was just a little popular in the nation. She had never even attended a single international compet.i.tion, yet why did he consider Shen Qianshu before her?
“Sure!” After all, this was a huge opportunity. It would be a waste to miss it.
Lu Mengxi blocked Shen Qianshu in the pantry and stared at her coldly. “You actually don’t want to take part in such an important international compet.i.tion?”
“If I did, how would you get the opportunity? This is a gift for you. You’re welcome.” Shen Qianshu knew that Lu Mengxi was trying to hurt her by going against the Shen Family. She could not be bothered about having ‘face.’
Lu Mengxi’s face darkened. The girl in front of her was like a bright teen girl, yet the words that came out of her made her seem like a poisonous snake that always knew the specific place to bite that would hurt others most. “Shen Qianshu, don’t be too happy yet. Just you wait and see.”
“Anytime!”
She could not care less about the little tricks Lu Mengxi was trying to come up with behind her back. Either way, the Shen Family no longer had anything to do with her.
In the afternoon, Shen Qianshu received a call from Chen Wanwan.
The Movie Diva Guan Xiaoman was very satisfied with the designs she had made and even offered a deposit. Shen Qianshu was happily surprised. She had edited this design thrice according to Guan Xiaoman’s requests. Finally, she was satisfied.
When she ended work, she went to BG happily.
The ring on the Movie Diva’s order slip already cost twenty million. She was really rich, and BG earned a huge sum of money just from her order. When Guan Xiaoman eventually got married, she would definitely publicize this everywhere. Then, BG might explode from all the fame!
“Why won’t you use your name?” Chen Wanwan could not understand. “This is such a great thing. You are so multi-talented. When Guan Xiaoman gets married, we will have really huge free publicity! I have discussed it with her. Other than the ones she bought on her own, all the accessories she would be using during her marriage and the ones the bridesmaids would be using will be fully sponsored by us. Then, you would become famous in the designing world.”
Shen Qianshu smiled. “Sister Wanwan, I have some unspeakable reasons for doing so. Why don’t you put the name, ‘Sara.’”
“You’re going to use your English name?”
