Chapter 38
Stepping on a Minefield
Gu Yang slowly ate her food while constantly putting pork liver into Feng Jue’s plate, but in reality, she was in a daze.
Caroline was a famous jewelry designer. Every piece of jewelry she designed could be auctioned for an astronomical price and had a widespread impact.
Xue Yao Jewelry, which was run by Ruan Xueling, had been suppressed by Mrs. Xu’s jewelry company. Many capable jewelry designers had been poached by Mrs. Xu. If this continued, Xue Yao Jewelry would only decline and go bankrupt.
Therefore, Caroline, who had come to Jin City at this time, was Ruan Xueling’s life-saver. If she could get a design draft from Caroline, Xue Yao Jewelry would be revived and attract many outstanding designers who admired Caroline.
In the original book, Ruan Xueling had been intercepted by Mrs. Xu when she invited Caroline, so she naturally did not get Caroline’s design draft.
After that, in order to fight with Mrs. Xu, Ruan Xueling took the wrong path in order to win. She even obtained a batch of jewelry containing radiation in excess. It also buried the roots of the Gu family’s bankruptcy.
Gu Yang felt that since she had encountered the matter, she naturally couldn’t watch Ruan Xueling go down the wrong path.
If she could help Ruan Xueling get Caroline’s design, perhaps Ruan Xueling wouldn’t have gone astray in a moment of desperation.
However, Caroline’s designs were hard to come by and she had a stubborn personality.
She pursued perfection and had a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder. For example, she was designing the Angel series jewelry. Before this jewelry design was completed, she would not start the next one. She hated being told to put aside her existing work and prioritize another design.
She loved art and did whatever she wanted. She had always disdained designing jewelry for money and hated being forced by others.
Ruan Xueling begged Caroline, “Ms. Caroline, the Angel series is a big project. I’m sure it will take some time for you to complete it, right? My company only needs a bit of your time to design a piece of jewelry. It won’t take too much of your time…”
Gu Yang, “…”
Ruan Xueling had stepped on a minefield.
She clearly saw Caroline frown.
Caroline said, “Ruan, there’s a saying in your country that goes, ‘finish what you start’. I always finish what I start.”
Ruan Xueling said, “Ms. Caroline, you don’t have to reject me so quickly. Don’t worry. As long as you design a piece of jewelry for my company, I’ll pay you double the design fees.”
She was the wife of the Gu family, a wealthy family in Jin City. She was also the daughter of the Ruan family. Naturally, she did not lack money. The main reason why she ran Xue Yao Jewelry was not to earn money, but to fight with Mrs. Xu.
Caroline’s face darkened. “Ruan, this isn’t about money.”
Seeing that Caroline was stubborn, Ruan Xueling thought that the money was not enough and continued, “Three times the design fees then!”
Gu Yang touched her forehead. With every word, Ruan Xueling was accurately hitting the minefield.
Caroline was so angry that her face turned green. She grabbed her bag and was about to get up and leave.
Afraid that Ruan Xueling would use the Gu family’s power to threaten Caroline, Gu Yang pressed Ruan Xueling’s hand and said gently to Caroline in French, “Ms. Caroline, I can give you inspiration for the Angel series.”
If there was anything that could attract Caroline now, it was the Angel series jewelry that she kept thinking about.
Sure enough, when Caroline heard this, she sat back down and looked at Gu Yang with a sharp gaze. She smiled arrogantly. “Gu, if you can really give me inspiration and let me complete the Angel series, not to mention designing a piece of jewelry for you, I can even give you the entire Angel series.”
