Chapter 649: Chapter 645: We’ll Talk After Work
Gu Liancheng returned to her seat, staring out the window in a daze, feeling as if her heart was tightly bound by fishing line, indescribably complex and chaotic.
Her hand holding the pencil paused on the design paper, and for over ten minutes, she hadn’t started to draw even a single curve.
"Sister Liancheng, do you think it’s okay to design it this way? Most rings use pure circles or arcs, but what if I combine these two elements and then make the ring square, wouldn’t it be particularly unique?"
A colleague had brought a newly drawn design sketch to show Gu Liancheng, but she didn’t react due to her unsettled mind.
Seeing this, the colleague waved a hand in front of her eyes and tentatively called out, "Sister Liancheng?"
Gu Liancheng came back to reality, quickly concealing the unusual look in her eyes, and smiled, "Hmm, what is it?"
Her smile was clear and genuine, without a hint of pretense or falsehood.
"I wanted you to take a look at this design sketch of mine."
The colleague repeated the design methods and principles that had been mentioned before.
After listening, Gu Liancheng reached out to take the design sketch handed to her, and at a glance, her brows furrowed. Then, circling several areas on the sketch with her pencil, she said, "This shape is indeed unique, but there’s a flaw in the design concept."
The colleague’s brow furrowed in response, "Sister Liancheng, what do you mean by that?"
"The reason square rings are rare isn’t because there are no designers who can make them. It’s because they are very likely to cause injuries to the fingers, and they can easily scratch others. A ring with such safety hazards cannot pass the inspection and go to market."
With Gu Liancheng’s guidance, her colleague suddenly realized, "Right, how could I have overlooked that..."
If the ring is made square, then the position of the diamond on the ring must be done in the same way; the square setting indeed makes it uncomfortable to wear.
"Thank you, Sister Liancheng. I’ll go ponder over it some more."
Gu Liancheng returned the design sketch to her, giving a light smile, "Go ahead, and if there’s anything else you’re unsure about, just come and ask me."
The colleague nodded at her and turned back to her own seat, continuing to work on the sketches.
Glancing around and seeing that everyone was busy with their work, Gu Liancheng got up and headed to the restroom.
She pushed open each restroom stall to make sure no one was inside, then took out her phone and dialed a number.
The call connected, and Ye Jin’s voice came through, "Hello, Liancheng? What’s up, do you need something?"
"Auntie." Gu Liancheng called out to her and then fell silent.
After a long while of hearing nothing else, Ye Jin asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
In response, Gu Liancheng softly said it was nothing, and after a quiet moment, she slowly began, "Auntie, didn’t you say that it was Xiao Yu who acquired Nan’an Chief? Why..."
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Ye Jin understood what she meant.
"Liancheng, I actually only found out about this myself this morning. I really didn’t expect that Xiao Yu would just readily give away a company worth billions to that woman."
"So you mean, Xiao Yu might not come here to the office? Or say, he might not deal with Nan’an’s affairs at all in the future?"
Gu Liancheng was smiling, yet her voice could not hide the sense of loss. What she found amusing was the inability to pinpoint the source of this loss.
Ye Jin’s voice came again, "Liancheng, don’t dwell on this for now. How about this, after you get off work, let’s go have a coffee together, and we can talk in detail then."
Gu Liancheng pursed her lips, "Mhm."
