chapter 349-- proud

"Girl, to be honest, we have thought about this. But the problem is that using such low-grade jewelry to do promotion activity will affect the brand image of our company. After all, our company always focuses on high-end jewelry. If we suddenly sell a batch of defective product, I am afraid... "Ji Jun's initial idea was also to sell the defective products at a low price, but the quality of these raw materials is very poor. Ji Jun even wants to directly destroy these products. If they sell these products, it will definitely have a huge bad impact on the company.

After the words of Ji Jun are finished, the room suddenly returns to silent. Everyone is hanging head and meditating. Just when everyone has no idea what to do, Wang Pengxuan suddenly says "Wood carving."

After Wang Pengxuan finishes speaking, all the people's eyes in the house fall on Wang Pengxuan. Tang Ningshan knows the meaning of Wang Pengxuan. After that, she thinks about it carefully. Pu Jiayi's woodcarvings can definitely be said to be competitive products. Although such things are not as expensive as jewelry, for some crafts collectors, these things are invaluable. What's more, Pu Jiayi's carving skill is really consummated. The only problem now is that the mainstream of the market is not these traditional crafts, so Tang Ningshan is not sure whether this idea will work.

"This is the case. I know what Pengxuan means. Jiayi is very good at carving, but the problem is that he usually carves wood. He rarely touches jewelry, so I don't know if this method is feasible." Tang Ningshan hesitates for a moment and still decides to say out her thoughts.

After Tang Ningshan finishes her words, the room once again comes into a quiet state. Ji Jun, Xuan Yun, and Qu Bo look down for a while and then look at each other. Tang Ningshan, Wang Pengxuan, and Yu Huan are quietly sitting in the living room without making any noise. After all, in the current situation, what they can do is to give them some ideas, and the people who can make the final decision are the three of them.

After a while, Ji Jun says "Girl, can you let Pu Jiayi come down? We have to ask him if he can carve the jewelry. After all, this is a technical problem." Tang Ningshan nods and stands up from the sofa, going upstairs. Fortunately, Pu Jiayi is not carving now; otherwise, Tang Ningshan thinks that she has no way to talk to Pu Jiayi. After all, when Pu Jiayi buries himself in carving, no one could bother him. Pu Jiayi is a little shocked when seeing Tang Ningshan. Tang Ningshan takes Pu Jiayi downstairs, letting him sit next to her, and then she tells Pu Jiayi what they were just discussing about.

Sure enough, after Tang Ningshan explains it, Pu Jiayi shows a confused expression. He doesn't seem to understand what jewelry is. Tang Ningshan can only go upstairs to find some jewelry to show to Pu Jiayi. Pu Jiayi takes the jewel and puts it in his hand. He stares at it for a long time before he nods and says, "This... very... easy..."

After they hear the words of Pu Jiayi, they all breathe a sigh of relief. After that, Xuan Yun says to Tang Ningshan "Girl, I need your help." Tang Ningshan raises her eyebrows and motions Xuan Yun to continue.

"My idea is that we can design some new styles. I mean, we can combine two different elements-- woodcarving and jewelry. For example, inlaid jewelry in wood carving, in which way, we can hide those defective places of jewelry in the wood perfectly." Xuan Yun finishes his words, and both Ji Jun and Qu Bo nod. Tang Ningshan also nods and says, "That's a fantastic idea. If this is the case, I can help you design, but you need to give me some ideas."

After that, they start a new round of discussions. However, in the end, no one could provide an amazing idea. Tang Ningshan suddenly says "Otherwise, I think we can design some retro style jewelry. Only in this way, can we combine modern elements with classical elements. For example, we design flower shape jewelry, we carve the wood into a flower shape and then inlaid the petals in the middle with different jewelry. How do you guys like this idea?"

After Tang Ningshan's words are finished, Ji Jun's eyes light up immediately. This is indeed a good idea. Although the mainstream of the market is not these classical elements, if the carving skill of Pu Jiayi is sufficiently exquisite, they are likely to allow these classical elements to return the eyes of the public. This will not only help them successfully survive from this crisis but also open up the future jewelry market for them.

"Girl, I agree with you. Just make the design style as retro as possible, try to show some classical elements to the public. As for the design thing, I really appreciate your help, girl." The perfect solution has come out; Ji Jun finally breathes a sigh of relief. Of course, everyone's mood is getting better. The oppressive atmosphere inside the house disappears instantly.

Tang Ningshan nods. Tang Ningshan thinks since she has promised them, she should finish the design as soon as possible, and then lets Pu Jiayi carry out the carving work according to her design. After all, manual engraving takes a lot of time. And the inlay work is also not easy. It seems that time is very tight now. Tang Ningshan says, "In this case, I am going upstairs to draw designs. You guys also go back to the room to have a rest. After I complete the design, I will go to your room to find you. If you think my design is feasible, we can immediately let Pu Jiayi start carving."

After Tang Ningshan finishes her words, she goes straight upstairs. After entering the bedroom, she begins to find information related to this aspect online. After all, she is only good at designing some of the jewelry that is now popular, and she doesn't know much about classical elements. She hopes that some materials on the Internet will give her some design inspiration.

Tang Ningshan spends a whole night to do this design. She keeps drawing and keeps modifying. Not until the next morning, Tang Ningshan puts down the pen with satisfaction. However, she finds that she already has no time to sleep. Tang Ningshan can only take her design downstairs. As soon as she goes downstairs, she sees Xuan Yun and Qu Bo sitting on the sofa in the living room. It seems that they have been sitting here for a long time.

Tang Ningshan walks over with a smile. "How would you get up so early? Don't tell me you guys didn't sleep last night." Qu Bo and Xuan Yun look at the smile on Tang Ningshan's face and the design paper she is holding, the original serious expression on their faces disappear. Xuan Yun says with a smile, "We slept for a few hours, and then I was discussing the company affairs with Qu Bo just now. Although we have come up with a solution, we must find the root of the problem. If we don't find out who replaced our raw materials, we can't solve the long-term problems, so Qu Bo and I were discussing this issue." After Tang Ningshan listens to Xuan Yun's words, she just nods faintly. Although she suspects that this was done by Shao Xingsheng, she does not have any evidence, so she does not intend to talk about her views.

Tang Ningshan hands the design drawings directly to them "Here you go. This is the design that I completed last night. You guys take a look. If you think it is fine, you can hand it over to Jiayi. If you have any opinion, feel free to tell me. I browsed online for a long time about the design of classical jewelry, but the information is not sufficient, so I can only design according to my own ideas, I don't know if it works. The jewelry I designed contains some other materials. I have made detailed notes on the design drawings about these materials. I believe that finding these materials is not a difficult thing for you guys." After Tang Ningshan finishes her words, she goes straight to the kitchen. She is going to work soon, so she needs to have breakfast first.

Tang Ningshan just starts to have breakfast, and her cell phone rings. The call is from Zhang Yan. Tang Ningshan could only helplessly put down the fork in her hand and answers the phone. She says "If you haven't had breakfast yet, just come in. If you have already eaten, then just wait for me outside." After that, Tang Ningshan hangs up and continues to eat, which makes them shocked. Although they havn't get along with Tang Ningshan for too long, they all know that Tang Ningshan has no other friends except for Yu Huan. Now Tang Ningshan suddenly invites other people to come to her villa, so they feel shocked, and also they are very curious about who this person is.

In less than two minutes, Zhang Yan, wearing a suit, walks in. Seeing so many people in the house, Zhang Yan's eyes flash a hint of confusion. However, he also knows that he does not have the right to ask Tang Ningshan's private affairs, so Zhang Yan only faintly nods to these people. He sits next to Tang Ningshan and does not say anything. Tang Ningshan can only stand up and goes to the kitchen to take a pair of tableware and hands it to Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan sits quietly beside Tang Ningshan and begins to have breakfast, completely ignoring everyone's gaze.

Yu Huan and Wang Pengxuan also have breakfast quietly. From time to time, Yu Huan will put some dishes on Tang Ningshan's plate. Then, Wang Pengxuan will immediately glance at Tang Ningshan with a look of resentment. Of course, he would immediately take back his glare before Yu Huan looks to him.

Finally, Qu Bo could not help but ask "Manager Zhang?" After the words of Qu Bo are finished, Tang Ningshan shows a surprised expression. Obviously, she did not expect that they would know Zhang Yan. She looks at Zhang Yan in confusion and asks "Do you guys know each other?"
