Xu Qiao spent this 24th birthday with satisfaction, which he would laugh when he remembered.

The birthday has passed, but the influence of the fashion show that sparked a thousand waves has just begun. While Pande's fashion was successful, the name Yuli has truly gained a reputation in the jewelry industry and is well-known to more and more people in the circle.

After the jewelry works at the fashion show were officially released, Xu Qiao quickly received an invitation from several domestic and foreign fashion publications, and an olive branch from many brands in the fashion industry.

From summer to autumn, Xu Qiao has received new cooperation and has traveled to major shows in various countries during the four major fashion weeks, attending various fashion brand activities.

The scale of Berger Jewelry Studio is gradually unable to bear the halo brought by the name "Yuli". After discussing with Yujin, Cheng Lang and Yujin officially renamed it "Yuli Jewelry Studio" in early October and were preparing to relocate the studio to the center of North City.

Xu Qiao originally thought that such a complicated matter as relocation would have to wait until next year to achieve it from site selection to decoration. As a result, Cheng Lang let the entire studio carry his bags to the Central Business District in mid-October.

Everyone in the studio walked into the business office building standing in the prime area of ​​Beicheng and found that the three consecutive high-rise buildings on the roof belonged to them completely. They were shocked.

"How much does it cost to build such three floors in such a place?" Su Shan asked curiously, "I think the headquarters of Lanchen Group is diagonally opposite the building. This is a valuable area."

Xu Qiao shook his head inexplicably.

Don’t ask, the boss’s own office building, I will just dial three floors for you.

When everyone walked in, they found that the interior was exquisitely decorated, and had already improved equipment upgrades and recruited new employees, they were stunned again.

Money can make the devil pushing the mill well, but the mill is too fast.

"It's not so fast to buy soy sauce in the supermarket. Did the boss do magic?" Rosa sighed.

Xu Qiao sighed in disbelief again.

Don’t ask, the boss had expected her girlfriend to be successful today. She started preparing a year and a half in advance, and moved her to the next door, which was only a few hundred meters away from him in a straight line.

Now, the two of them are tired of going home at night, and they can still stick to them at any time when they get the chance during the day.

Xu Qiao could already foresee that if they don’t go on business trips and stay in the office building, their daily routine will be for lunch break after work - "Baby, are they going to your place or me today?"

Cheng Lang also said that he had already left her a C counter at Lanchen Department Store and was waiting for her to settle in the future.

This man probably wants to show his presence in all aspects on her career.

Xu Qiao shook her head and sighed, with a far-sighted vision, and she deserves to be Mr. Lang.

——

The day after moving into the new studio, Xu Qiao received an invitation from Milan, inviting her to visit the 9th Biennial Vanzer Awards for the vanzer next month.

The news that comes with this invitation is the nomination list for the major awards of this Biennial Award. The name "Yu Li" appears among the best new designers.

The value of the vanzer high-end jewelry design biennial award in the jewelry industry is definitely not comparable to that of the folk jewelry design competition that Xu Qiao once participated in. If he could really break through the siege of this biennial award, even if it was just a newcomer award, it would be worth bragging about for three or five years.

After all, half of the designers who won this title later became leaders in the industry.

As soon as the news spread, Xu Qiao immediately received congratulatory messages from all parties.

She was wrapped in a sense of lightness and unreality. Her fingers softly dialed Cheng Lang's phone number. Before she could speak, the person on the other end laughed: "I have also received an invitation letter. I will accompany you to Milan next month?"

"You are busy with yours, don't attend it on purpose..." Xu Qiao touched his nose, "Maybe it's just a nomination. If you attach so much importance to it, you will be able to accompany me. If I lose my name, how shameless it will be!"

In recent months, Xu Qiao has been on several occasions to watch the show, and Cheng Lang is so busy that he has no time to accompany him. This time he has a very persistent opinion: "Even if it is just a nomination, it is already amazing. What's the shame?"

Xu Qiao pondered the implicit sound of his words, and it seemed as if he was comforting her in advance, and tentatively said: "So you already know... I'm just nominating?"

"I don't know." Cheng Lang laughed, "Do you need me to ask for internal information for you?"

Although this award is of great value, it is not as authoritative as confidential. With Cheng Lang's network of relationships, it is not difficult to find out the result in advance.

Xu Qiao was about to say "Okay", but when he said something, he stopped in a tangled way: "Hey, let's forget it. If the result is not good, I will not be in the mood to go to Milan!"

Cheng Lang was silent for a moment and suggested: "Actually, it is not necessary to fly to Europe for the award ceremony. I will just go home next month. The time can be arranged two days before the award ceremony. You can accompany me to London first. After that, we will go to Milan. Even if we don't win the award, we won't lose money, right?"

This idea sounds quite reasonable, but...

"You guys, just talk about it if you want to take me home, you're all-rounder and sound!" Xu Qiao held his phone and complained to him.

Cheng Lang smiled: "Only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light the lamps? You can test whether I know the results of the award. Why can't I test whether you are willing to go home with me?"

It is not scary to meet a hooligan, but it is afraid that the hooligans are educated.

Xu Qiao snorted: "Look at your performance in the next half month!"

——

Xu Qiao just took Qiao in his mouth. Two days before the award ceremony, he still followed Cheng Lang to fly to London.

She had always felt a little guilty about the fact that the elders of the Cheng family were released on New Year's Eve. This time, when Cheng Lang brought a gift to her, she was highly focused and her whole body was tense at 360 degrees without any blind spots.

But in fact, Cheng Lang's emotional intelligence has long confirmed the emotional intelligence of Cheng's parents. Cheng's father and Cheng's mother welcomed her enthusiastically, and did not mention the last appointment she had missed. They prepared all the dishes she liked for dinner, and specially arranged a new room for her instead of letting her live in Cheng Lang's bedroom directly.

Although Xu Qiao had already had sex with Cheng Lang six months ago, it didn't matter such details, but the details were clear and considerate. Such considerate and thoughtful arrangement made her feel that Cheng's father and Cheng's mother seemed to have hurt her into her own daughter.

During the two days and one night at the Cheng family, she was not as reserved as she imagined. Xu Qiao slapped her mother out shopping one afternoon, and almost became like-minded girls with her.

When she left, she even felt a little reluctant to part with Cheng's mother.

However, the award ceremony was about to come, and the two could not stay for a long time and still flew to Milan as planned.

——

At 6 o'clock in Rome that night, the auditorium of the Scala Opera House, and the site of the 9th Biennial Awards of the vanzer High Jewelry Design Awards Ceremony. On the dome that is nearly 20 meters high, crystal chandeliers composed of more than 300 small lamps were shining brightly, setting off the entire red and golden lobby. Under the six-story building, the central horseshoe-shaped pool was filled.

On the left side of the stage, two hosts, a man and a woman, were speaking enthusiastic opening remarks in English.

Xu Qiao sat alone in the front row of the seat.

As a giant in the luxury department store industry, Cheng Lang sat behind as an invited guest. Xu Qiao was not sure about his specific location and could not have any eye contact with him. He could only be nervous alone.

Fortunately, like many movie awards, this type of award ceremony does not take the serious route. The hosting is a humorous and funny style. The award presenter is also full of jokes. When a well-known jeweler who is the award presenter sang a rap on the stage, Xu Qiao finally gradually relaxed in such an atmosphere.

Awards are awarded one by one, from work awards to individual awards.

Xu Qiao's awards were arranged in the second half of the journey. When she was so relaxed that she couldn't remember the order of awards, she heard the host begin to nominate the best new designer.

Xu Qiao's heart hangs up again.

The guest presented was a famous jewelry designer who won this award at the first Biennial Awards. Perhaps it was the second half of the awards, considering that the audience was a little tired, the host and the awards presented guests talked about English crosstalk, which caused constant laughter.

If it were other awards, Xu Qiao would still smile with her. At this time, she really couldn't laugh. She could only pursed her lips into a emotional curve. Until the guest finally announced the winner of the award in English: "The one who won the Best Newly Designer Award at the 9th Biennial Vanzer Award for High Jewelry Design was Yu Li from China!"

The tense string in Xu Qiao's head loosened in an instant, and as the spotlight came the instantaneous soaring adrenaline.

She suppressed the urge to be so happy that she wanted to jump into her arms immediately, got up in front of everyone, and walked towards the stage in a pair of diamond-filled crystal shoes.

The fluffy hem of the white gauze smoky sleeves and the fluffy skirt of the dress, as well as the long black hair with low tie, made her walk onto the stage with a dignified dress, look like a beautiful and noble white swan.

Someone at the pool was amazed by this scene and started to talk softly.

Xu Qiao walked to the center of the stage, bowed and took the trophy held by the guest, and stood in front of the wheat.

For a few seconds, her eyes quietly fell off the stage, searching for Cheng Lang's figure nervously. But because she didn't know where he was, when the host reminded her to give up when she gave her a speech on the award.

After a moment of loss, Xu Qiao smiled back, holding the crystal trophy in one hand, adjusting the microphone with the other, and speaking the lines prepared in English in English.

"Good evening, I am Yu Li, a Chinese jewelry designer. I am very honored to be able to stand here and hold this heavy trophy. First of all, I want to thank the organizers and the judges for this affirmation given to me. Secondly, I want to thank my senior friends who have been in the industry, my work partners who have been with me through thick and thin, and my family who have been behind me and have been giving me material and spiritual support, including..." Xu Qiao paused when she said this, and in the spotlight, she did not use the term "boyfriend" in the plan, but solemnly called her, "Love."

The rustling sound suddenly became louder.

Xu Qiao didn't quite understand where this said could have poked everyone. After being stunned, he continued, "In addition, I also want to thank a special thing, that is suffering, the suffering that had come to me and my family. A year ago, I received bad news in this prosperous fashion capital - my jewelry company went bankrupt. I went from a daughter who came to clothes and opened her mouth to a clown who was separated from relatives and was penniless. Apart from that little jewelry design ability, I had nothing."

The audience's attention was pulled back by this passage and looked at her with a breath of concentration.

"For life, I entered the jewelry design industry, from picking up the most basic painting skills to this day. At this time a year later, I stepped onto this prosperous fashion capital again, and was fortunate to stand in the spotlight to tell everyone about my unlucky experience-" Xu Qiao said this, and changed the subject, "I used to think that it was not glorious."

"I used to think that suffering would only bring me pain, but now looking back, I find that it is because of that suffering that I can stand on this stage, and it is because of that suffering that I have gained precious love. It turns out that suffering not only brings pain to people, but also gives gifts to those who defeat it. So today, I can tell everyone with a smile about everything that has happened to me."

Xu Qiao said this and smiled: "Share these with everyone, like all the people who are experiencing suffering, just like me, say, persevere and overcome it, life has prepared the most beautiful gift for you in the future."

After a moment of silence, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Xu Qiao left the microphone and bowed to the audience.

The host seemed a little surprised. He could hear such a scar in the mouth of such a glamorous jewelry designer, so he was stunned until Xu Qiao was about to turn around and step down. He seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly called her: "Wait."

Xu Qiao stopped and looked at the two hosts in confusion.

The host smiled and said, "This excellent jewelry designer, this beautiful and charming lady like a princess, I think there will be a gift from you tonight on this stage."

Xu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and something vaguely flashed through her mind. When she mentioned the word "love" just now, the audience below reacted particularly strongly. Her heart pounded and she looked to the side of the stage as if she was aware.

Cheng Lang smiled with a smile on his lips, stepped up the steps step by step, and walked towards the center of the stage.

In his hand, he was holding a dark blue velvet jewelry box.

Xu Qiao did a cheesy move that countless women would do when they saw this scene - they covered their mouths because of surprise.

She didn't know that this was happening. Even the winning results were told on the spot, and Cheng Lang hid her so much that he could not miss it.

With a premonition that something was about to happen, Xu Qiao's hands and feet suddenly lost their power of movement, and could only watch him walk to her in a daze.

Cheng Lang paused in front of her, took a step back with his left foot, slowly knelt down on one knee, held the jewelry box in front of her, and gently opened the lid.

The whole audience was in an uproar.

A diamond ring carved into a crown fell into Xu Qiao's eyes.

There were dazzling diamonds reflected in Xu Qiao's eyes, and tears flashed even brighter than diamonds.

"This excellent jewelry designer, this beautiful and charming lady like a princess..." Cheng Lang looked up at her, repeated the host's words in Chinese, and said with a smile, "After twenty-four years, do you want to try it? From now on, be my Mrs. Cheng?"
