Chapter 34. Its Impossible That He Likes Me (1/2)

Xin Qing wondered if there was something wrong with Ying Qingcang.

Recently, Ying Qingcang came back every night and pestered her as soon as they finished the dinner. He was also very gentle and knew how to restrain himself, even though he still didn't say anything before leaving. However, compared with being crazy and speaking something to make her feel embarrassed, it was already much better.

”Do you think that he was stimulated by the striptease he watched last time?” Xin Qing, Zhang Mi and Shi Qianqian sat in the sweet shop in front of the school gate and had their afternoon tea. Xin Qing was unable to understand Ying Qingcang's recent actions. So she asked for help from her best friends.

”Hehe, he became insatiable after watching that kind of show. Did he touch those women?” Zhang Mi said with an evil smile.

Xin Qing shook her head: ”He won't touch those women.”

”How do you know? He told you? ”

”He didn't. But I just don't think he will. ” Xin Qing didn't know how this thought came up. She just felt that Ying Qingcang had never touched those women.

Shi Qianqian also agreed. She stared at Xin Qing for a long time before saying, ”Maybe he likes you!”

”Haha, stop joking.” Xin Qing waved her hand, ”It's impossible that he likes me.”

”Why is it impossible?” Zhang Mi caressed her face, ”You are our school beauty!”

Xin Qing did not want to talk about this topic and quickly took the two back to school. In her opinion, Ying Qingcang would never like her. Because she knew very well that Ying Qingcang hated this relationship even more than she did. He had said very clearly that it would be better if she didn't appear.

That was why he treated her so brutally in the beginning. As for now, Xin Qing couldn't figure out why, so she stopped thinking about it. Her design draft was completed, and she made an appointment with the jewelry company today. She wanted them to review her works, and more importantly, she wanted to make sure what materials they could offer and then she would take them to the factory.

Ah Che sent her to her destination. It was a jewelry shop in the old city. It wasn't too big and looked quite old. Compared to those luxurious jewelry shops on the market, it was really …

Xin Qing was a little worried. When she walked into the shop, she found that half of the counters were empty. There were only one or two waiters who were sleeping behind the counters, let alone customers.

”Ah Che, do we come to the wrong place?” This place was definitely out of business.

Ah Che seriously shook his head. ”Miss, this is the place. The jewelry shop which is called Beautiful Love.”

It's alright. Xin Qing took a deep breath. Since she had arrived, she should stay and find someone to ask first.

”You must be Miss Xin!” A middle aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked out in a hurry and extended his hand towards Xin Qing.

Xin Qing shook hands with him, and politely said: ”Nice to meet you. This is Xin Qing, and this is the certificate issued by my school.”

The man took it and checked it politely: ”You can call me Manager Lu. Shall we go to the back and see the factory first?”

”Thank you, Manager Lu. I am sorry to trouble you.” Xin Qing heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid originally that she would hear something like ”we've already stopped our business”. But when she entered the production plant at the back, she was completely stunned.

”Miss Xin? Miss Xin?” Manager Lu called her a few times before she finally regained her senses. She stammered as she pointed at the jewelry on the table.

”What ... what are all these? ”

Manager Lu chuckled: ”Miss Xin, you are kidding me. You should know them!”

Yes, she actually knew. Xin Qing's eyes were wide open. The jewelry at the edge was from the Royal Family of 17th century. They looked very familiar, because they were the ones that she and Young Master Shen bought on the auction previously. The jades in the front row were all of high grade and glass types. And there were a few necklaces behind them. The diamonds on them were almost as big as the eggs of pigeons.

Any one of them could save the shop in front which seemed to be going to close down at any time.

”These are yours?” Xin Qing tried her best to speak normally.

Manager Lu nodded: ”Yes, we bought them not long ago.”

”Then... the shop …” She spoke incoherently.

”Oh! The shop. ” Manager Lu said carelessly, ”Our company is preparing to move, so we closed the shop.”

Xin Qing was relieved that her works for the competition would be guaranteed. So, after seeing a few boxes of high-quality diamonds and gems, she calmly picked out what she needed. Then, Manager Lu called two men over. Xin Qing gave them her draft and explained some details to them.

”You want me to take it back?” Before leaving, Xin Qing was shocked again. Manager Lu asked her to bring one of the royal jewelry away.

Manager Lu said seriously: ”Miss Xin, we think highly of you and believe that you are a very promising designer. This piece of jewelry is kind of guarantee deposit. If you design a few works for us after you graduate, we will give it to you, but if you don't meet our requirements, then we will take it back.”

Xin Qing felt that something was wrong, ”Then why did you give it to me now? It's too valuable.” If she remembered correctly, this necklace could was auctioned for over ten million yuan.

”Hehe, we're investing!” Manager Lu explained to her: ”If you become famous and turn up your nose at our small company, how should we get you? So please take it as the payment we make to you in advance.”

In the end, Xin Qing gave in. She didn't dare to take it, so let Ah Che carry the box while Manager Lu politely sent them to the door. Just as they were about to go, two people came in. Xin Qing glanced at them and her face changed suddenly.

”Why are you here?” Xin Pengfei did not expect to meet Xin Qing here.
