Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 351 Wang Churan's Self-Strategy
Shanghai Exhibition Center.

The banquet continued, with the light from the crystal chandelier flowing between the jewelry and the gowns.

Wang Churan's heartbeat was completely different from this glamorous rhythm.

She tried to calm her reluctance, tilted her head slightly, and looked at an exquisitely designed diamond brooch in the glass display case, trying to recall the knowledge points that the brand had instilled in her.

"Jiang Shen, look at this. It's said to be inspired by Byzantine mosaic art..."

She tapped lightly through the glass with her fingertip.

"The setting technique is very special; it uses a concealed setting, so the metal prongs are not visible, and the diamonds appear to be connected as one..."

Jiang Qing looked in the direction she pointed, and the brooch was indeed dazzling under the spotlight.

He nodded and gave his evaluation.

"Yes, the visual effect is very coherent. However, this setting method requires extremely high precision in diamond cutting, so the wastage rate must be quite high."

He paused for a moment, realizing that his angle seemed a bit off, then turned his gaze to Wang Churan and teased her with a smile.

"You remember it quite clearly, so it seems you didn't slack off."

Two blushes immediately rose on Wang Churan's cheeks, as if a soft-focus filter had been applied, and her voice became even softer.

"No, I just thought the design was very unique, so I took a second look."

She lowered her eyelashes, concealing the joy in her heart.

Being able to stand side by side with him like this, discussing trivial topics like friends, was already a great happiness for her.

She wished time could slow down, just a little bit more.

While Wang was basking in the sweet bliss of the moment, outside the banquet hall, the internet was in an uproar over photos and videos taken by some of the guests and media at the dinner.

A hashtag titled "Jiang Qing appears at Bulgari dinner" quickly rose to the top of the Bulgari-related celebrity hot search list, like a drop of boiling oil being thrown into water.

With an almost overbearing attitude, it quickly surpassed "Yang Yang's Bulgari suit look" and "Wu Lu Ke's escape to the top" and forcefully topped the Weibo hot search list.

Upon opening the entry, the first thing netizens see are several photos that were clearly taken secretly by guests or staff at the event.

In the first picture, Jiang Qing, wearing a light gray shirt, white shorts, and sneakers, stands in a glittering banquet hall, her head slightly turned, seemingly talking to Wang Cheran, who is wearing a gold dress next to her.

He appeared completely at ease, as if he were merely passing by a convenience store, creating a stark contrast with the elaborately decorated surroundings.

The second photo shows Bulgari Greater China President Mu Songze smiling broadly, leaning forward, and extending both hands to shake hands with Jiang Qing.

The photo was taken at an excellent angle, clearly showing the mixture of surprise and respect on Mu Songze's face, while Jiang Qing simply nodded slightly, maintaining her usual gentle politeness.

The third one is also the most intriguing.

Jiang Qing and Wang Churan stood side by side in front of the jewelry display case.

Wang Churan tilted her head slightly, turned her face to Jiang Qing, and smiled as she pointed to a piece of jewelry in the display case and said something.

Jiang Qing lowered her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the direction she was pointing, her expression focused.

The shards of light from the crystal chandelier fell upon the two of them, creating a strangely harmonious and well-matched scene.

The comment section below the entry has been flooded with comments.

"Holy crap??? Jiang Qing??? What's he doing at the Bulgari gala??? And dressed like that??? This is just too bizarre!"

"Help! He went there wearing shorts and sneakers??? Everyone around him was wearing haute couture! Dr. Jiang, you're a true big shot, so capricious!"

"Wait, that's... Wang Churan next to him? How do they know each other? And they're standing together? They seem quite familiar with each other?"

"The way Wang Churan looks at Jiang Qing... wow, she's got something, ladies!"

"Case solved! Case solved! I just dug up Wang Cheran's Weibo! When 'The Beginning' first aired, she posted a Weibo post with a promotional emoji! Nobody paid attention then, but now... she must have known Jiang Qing for a long time, right? Maybe they were friends?"

"She's definitely a fan! Look at the way she's standing next to Jiang Qing, she's completely different from her usual self, she's a total fangirl!"

"Upstairs +1! That look, that smile, it's exactly how a fan sees their idol! It's way too sweet!"

There were surprised reactions, people who were amused, and naturally, there were also some sarcastic or sarcastic comments.

"Heh, dressed like that to attend a top jewelry gala? Doesn't she know any basic etiquette? Her nouveau riche attitude is on full display."

"Exactly, even in the most prestigious settings, these occasions still represent the image of the individual and the company, right? This is extremely disrespectful to the brand and other guests."

"Wang Churan, don't you feel it's beneath you to look at jewelry with someone wearing sneakers?"

……

However, these sour comments were quickly drowned out by a much stronger wave of criticism.

"Are the people upstairs just being sour grapes? Look at how much the Bulgari president bends and bends! The brand itself doesn't feel offended, so who gives you the right to point fingers?"

"Hilarious! The CEO personally went over to shake hands with them warmly, and some people are still agonizing over whether or not to wear formal attire? Do they even know what real prestige is?"

"Quick, go watch the video! There's a video of the scene leaked! Mr. Mu's attitude was just unbelievable! Jiang Qing is the real guest they wanted to invite, right? What are the other celebrities doing? Oh, they're selling jewelry (doge)."

"Ouch, that hurts! Our older brothers and sisters are working hard to meet KPIs, while Dr. Jiang is playing the role of the client! The class difference is just too much... (facepalm)"

"Exactly! Look at other celebrities' fans, they're still comparing whose sales are higher, but as soon as Jiang Qing appeared, she was chatting and laughing with the brand's CEO. The difference is amazing!"

"So the conclusion is: when you're awesome enough, no one will dare to say anything if you wear slippers. Jiang Qing is a living example."

"As for Wang Cheran... she's quite pleasing to the eye! They're a perfect match, and Wang Cheran is clearly a big fan of Jiang Qing; their interactions are so sweet! Who can resist Dr. Jiang, the pinnacle of intellectual homosexuality!"

"Excuse me, I need to chat with Chu Ran for a bit... Ahhh!!! That line is so sweet it'll break your legs! Jiang Qing, how many more surprises do you have in store for us?"

"Why is this chemistry so inexplicably intoxicating? A high-IQ tech genius x a beautiful female celebrity fangirl? I'm shipping them now!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Eating everything will only make my nutrition balanced! Jiang and Chuan are a good match too!"

Wow! The person upstairs really has a knack for making connections!

……

While the online storm was raging, time continued to flow in the banquet hall.

Just as Wang Churan was mustering her courage to take Jiang Qing to see another emerald necklace that she found very special, a figure walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang!"

Zhu Long's voice was loud and clear as he patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder.

"We've had enough of chatting, shall we head out? Old Li and the others are still waiting for us at the door for our late-night snack."

His gaze swept over Wang Churan beside Jiang Qing, his smile deepened, and he nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Churan nodded in response with a dignified smile.

Seeing that the two had greeted each other, Jiang Qing nodded to Zhu Long without hesitation.

"it is good."

He turned to Wang Churan, his tone gentle.

"It's getting late, Mr. Zhu and I will head out first. You... should finish up early too, don't overwork yourself."

His gaze lingered on her face for a moment, tinged with concern.

Wang Churan felt as if an invisible hand had gently squeezed her heart, and a huge sense of loss surged up instantly.

But a perfectly poised, even radiant, smile immediately bloomed on her face, and her voice was clear and melodious.

"Okay, Jiang Shen! You go ahead with your work! Be careful on the road!"

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling, trying her best to maintain that just-right fan-like joy and obedience, without revealing the slightest bit of lingering reluctance. "Okay, goodbye."

Jiang Qing nodded and smiled at her, then nodded to Mrs. Zhu not far away, before calmly walking side by side with Zhu Long through the still noisy crowd toward the exit.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, many people came forward to say goodbye, and Mu Songze also quickly walked forward from the crowd to see them off.

His casually dressed figure gradually faded into the distance amidst the glamorous attire of the crowd, eventually disappearing at the entrance.

Wang stood frozen in place, his perfect smile seemingly paused for a few seconds.

The surrounding noise, music, and laughter seemed to vanish instantly, leaving only the direction in which the figure disappeared in her eyes.

The world seemed to suddenly fall silent, with only her heart silently falling inside her chest.

She even forgot to sit down, and just stood there blankly, her fingertips unconsciously twirling the folds on the hem of her gold dress.

"Sister Churan?"

The female assistant cautiously approached, her voice low and tinged with worry.

She knows her artist too well; she knows how much disappointment lies behind that brief moment of distraction.

Wang Churan seemed not to hear, still staring at the doorway.

Just then, a staff member dressed in a Bulgari black uniform with a name tag pinned to her chest walked up to Wang Cheran with a professional and respectful smile on her face.

"Miss Wang Churan."

The staff member's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Wang Cheran and his assistant to hear clearly.

He handed over a beautifully designed folder with both hands, inside which were several receipts.

"Excuse me. These are the purchase receipts and related material testing documents for the Serpenti Viper white gold and diamond necklace, the matching white gold and diamond earrings, and the Divas' Dream rose gold and diamond watch that you wore tonight."

Wang Churan's gaze finally returned from the doorway, a hint of bewilderment at being interrupted, and landed on the folder.

She didn't react for a moment and asked instinctively.

"Purchase...receipt?"

The staff member maintained a smile and began to explain.

"Yes, Ms. Wang. These three pieces of jewelry and watches you are wearing have just been purchased in full by Mr. Jiang Qing. Mr. Jiang specifically instructed that these three pieces of jewelry are a gift to you. Later, we will send the cleaned and maintained jewelry, along with the complete packaging box, certificate, and warranty card, to the address you designated. Please check the receipt information."

He handed the folder forward a little further.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Wang Churan's beautiful eyes widened little by little.

The disappointment and confusion I felt just now were like a thin mist blown away by a strong wind, instantly replaced by ecstasy!

Her heart pounded wildly like a drum, her blood rushed to her head, and her cheeks became burning hot.

"Given...given to me?"

His voice trembled noticeably; he could hardly believe his ears.

Wang Churan subconsciously looked at the serpent necklace around her neck, which was cool to the touch but now seemed to be burning hot, and then at the exquisite watch on her wrist.

"Yes, Miss Wang, Mr. Jiang specifically instructed that it is a gift for you."

The staff member repeated this with great certainty, a kind smile on their face that said, "You're so lucky."

An indescribable joy exploded in my mind like fireworks!

It wasn't because of the value of these jewels, although they are indeed very valuable.

It's because Jiang Qing bought it!

He specifically requested that it be given to her!

On such a night, when she thought the parting was the end, he left behind such a heavy, shining echo!

Wang Churan felt lightheaded, as if she were walking on clouds.

An overwhelming sense of happiness mixed with a feeling of unreality made her almost dizzy.

She suppressed her almost overflowing joy, trying her best to maintain the last shred of composure, and reached out to take the folder, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She didn't even open it to take a closer look; she just held it tightly as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

"OK, thanks."

His voice was filled with barely suppressed joy, and the last syllable rose slightly.

The staff member completed the task, nodded politely, and left.

The assistant, who had been holding her breath, finally let out a gasp, her face instantly filled with excitement. She leaned close to Wang Cheran's ear, her voice high-pitched with excitement.

"Sister Churan! My God! President Jiang is so generous! This...this performance is amazing! The brand must be ecstatic! You're absolutely..."

The assistant's words came to an abrupt halt.

Because she saw the smile on Wang Cheran's face disappear like the receding tide the moment she opened her mouth.

Her face, which had just been radiant with surprise and shy blush, was instantly covered with a layer of icy frost.

She turned her head, her gaze sharp as a knife, and coldly swept over her.

There was no warmth in his eyes, only a chilling warning.

The assistant was so frightened by that look that he shuddered, and all the words he was about to say about "performance" and "brand favorability" got stuck in his throat, and his face turned pale instantly.

She lowered her head abruptly, silent as a cicada in winter, daring not to utter another word.

She realized that she had made a grave mistake.

The surrounding area was still bustling with noise and the clinking of glasses.

No one noticed the sudden change in the atmosphere that occurred in that corner.

Wang withdrew his cold gaze as if nothing had happened.

She lowered her head, her gaze falling on the folder she was clutching tightly in her hand; the cold touch now felt incredibly warm to her.

This was the first gift Jiang Qing had ever given her.

No wonder he asked those questions before.

It turns out he had already made up his mind.

He... is so good to me.

Wang Chran slowly raised her fingers and gently stroked the cool snake necklace around her neck. Her fingertips lightly caressed the winding snake and the cold diamonds, her movements filled with tenderness and an almost morbid infatuation.

In the shadows where no one could see, the corners of her lips curled upwards little by little.

It was no longer the shy and obedient demeanor she displayed when facing Jiang Qing, or the dignified and proper manner she showed when facing outsiders. Instead, it was an extremely strange curve, tinged with satisfaction.

A smile bloomed on her radiant face, breathtakingly beautiful, yet also sending a chill down one's spine.

She tilted her head slightly, as if listening intently to the silent pulse beneath the cold diamond, or perhaps savoring the warmth of Jiang Qing's fingertips, her eyes hazy and fervent.

Her red lips moved silently, uttering a sweet, trembling murmur that only she could hear.

"Jiang Shen...you also...have a little bit of a crush on me, right?"
