Chapter 31: Where Are You Now?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From all the details, Qiao Sisi could tell that this Grandma Chen seemed somewhat affiliated with jewelry design.
She just wanted to know the answer from Zheng Zeyi.
Qiao Sisi thought that the book should have something to do with this. She wondered what Zheng Zeyi intended to do with the book since he had put in so much effort to obtain it.
“Yes,” Zheng Zeyi said without looking back. He had no intention of hiding anything.
“Alright, then I won’t ask. I’m going back to work now.” Qiao Sisi raised her eyebrows slightly. At that time, the two of them had already left the building.
With that, she prepared to part ways with Zheng Zeyi.
She still had to submit a work report tonight, but she had yet to attend to her work. If she had been a little later, everyone would probably have returned to the hotel.
She had just taken a step when a warm hand grabbed her fair wrist.
Qiao Sisi was stunned. He did not use too much force, but it was enough to make her heart tingle. She quickly broke free from Zheng Zeyi’s grip and pretended to be calm. “What is it now?”
Zheng Zeyi pushed the bag in his hand to Qiao Sisi without explanation and smiled. “Take it, baby. Don’t panic.”
“Nonsense, who’s panicking?” Qiao Sisi quickly retorted. She was about to return the thing in her hand to Zheng Zeyi when he walked away quickly.
Qiao Sisi could not regain her senses and chased after him with the bag.
“Zheng Zeyi, wait for me! Your things are still with me. Come back and take them away! Bastard!”
She ran after him for quite a while but eventually lost him. He had long disappeared.
Qiao Sisi muttered something about him being an ass. She hugged the bag and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was exhausted.
She touched it casually. There was a box in the bag. It was probably the bracelet, Light Smoke, that Zheng Zeyi had obtained at the auction.
Is that guy… really giving it to me? she thought.
Qiao Sisi’s face was full of doubt, but her ears turned red. This gift is too expensive for me.
Qiao Sisi found a huge rock and sat down. She was still panting. She took out her phone from her pocket and found Zheng Zeyi in her contacts list. She sent a text message.
The text message read: [Zheng Zeyi, you left your things with me.]
Sigh… Qiao Sisi put away her phone in exasperation. Not long after she put it back in her pocket, her phone vibrated.
She picked it up and saw that it was a reply from Zheng Zeyi.
Zheng Zeyi: [Baby, don’t be surprised. They’re a gift for you.]
Qiao Sisi was dumbfounded.
She turned off her phone in disdain. This guy is really asking for a beating, she thought.
Qiao Sisi looked at the gift bag from the auction. It was very pretty and had a pink ribbon tied around it.
There seemed to be something else.
Qiao Sisi felt that something was wrong. She opened it and saw a box and a book inside.
Isn’t this the book that Zheng Zeyi got from Grandma Chen’s house just now? Why is it here? she wondered.
Looking puzzled, Qiao Sisi ignored the bracelet and took the book out of the bag.
This book was very heavy. It was smooth to the touch and the quality of the paper was very good.
She opened it and was shocked by the content. It was about jewelry design and the making of jewelry.
Qiao Sisi quickly flipped through a few more pages. The cutting and polishing techniques here were very different from what she knew. There were also some design suggestions.
There were also some examples. There were also pictures with captions.
Could Grandma Chen be this book’s… Qiao Sisi widened her eyes. Grandma Chen looked like she could not bear to part with this book.
This book must have been written by Grandma Chen, she thought.
Qiao Sisi was flabbergasted. She wanted to know the truth now.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Zheng Zeyi nervously. He was not busy now and replied quickly.
Zheng Zeyi: [Grandma Chen used to be a jewelry designer.]
It was just as she had expected. Without replying, she put her phone in her bag and walked toward the jade museum.
However, a myriad of thoughts crowded into her mind. The information in this book was precious and would be of great help to a newbie like her.
Moreover, Grandma Chen had spent half her life writing this book and sharing her valuable experience. It would be difficult to repay this favor.
Perhaps Grandma Chen would not have thought that Zheng Zeyi would give me the book.
Qiao Sisi thought to herself, but she did not know that Grandma Chen had known about this long ago. She just did not point it out.
Zheng Zeyi’s family business had nothing to do with jewelry design, so he naturally had no use for this book.
But it was different for Qiao Sisi. She was Jinyu’s jewelry designer, and she specialized in this area. What she lacked most was guidance from her seniors.
Everything happened for a reason.
However, Qiao Sisi did not know about Zheng Zeyi’s past.
…
Time gradually passed and it was almost evening. Darkness began to cover the land, but the lights on Jade Street made it bright as day.
After about five or six minutes, Qiao Sisi arrived at the jade museum with a bag in her hand.
The book in the bag was too precious. If not for the fact that she could not put it away now, she would have hidden it in her suitcase.
“Hum… Hum…”
Her phone rang. Qiao Sisi opened it and saw that it was a call from Lin Ya. It seemed like everyone had left the jade museum.
“Hello, Sisi, where are you now?”
As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard the commotion on the other end.
“I’m at the entrance of the jade museum. Have you all left?”
Lin Ya said, “That’s right. We went to another place just now. As it was getting late, Assistant Li and Manager Ye suggested having dinner at this restaurant. I’ll send you the address. Come over quickly.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Sisi hung up and received a text message about the venue from Lin Ya.
It was a nearby restaurant. It was not very far away and only took about 10 minutes on foot. Qiao Sisi hurried over.
There were many people in the restaurant. She walked through the hall and came to a stretch of private rooms.
The private room that Ye Chen and the rest had booked was 0088. Qiao Sisi found the private room by the staircase on the second floor effortlessly.
The moment she opened the door, her colleagues’ gazes were fixed on her.
Qiao Sisi was a little embarrassed as she closed the door and walked in. She said, “Assistant Li, Chairman Ye, I’ve already settled my work.”
Seeing the strange gazes of her colleagues, Qiao Sisi felt even more awkward. Why are you looking at me like that? she thought. It’s not like I’m neglecting my work. Zheng Zeyi was the one who insisted on taking me out.
