SCHS - Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Qin Zhen's tone was exceptionally certain, her expression as serious as ever, as if she were discussing a matter of utmost national importance.
After spending this time with Qin Zhen, Wen Shixue had successfully restrained the urge to make physical contact with her, refraining from patting her shoulder. She stood with her arms crossed, her reaction much more relaxed and at ease compared to Qin Zhen's.
Qin Zhen was right; they definitely wouldn't fall in love. Wen Shixue wanted to focus on her career and be beautiful alone, while Qin Zhen was paid to do her job well. Romantically, the two of them were miles apart. Most importantly, neither she nor Qin Zhen liked women.
Even putting gender aside, Qin Zhen's serious personality wasn't her type. She had always believed that dating required someone with an interesting personality to make life fun, just like her parents, who were that kind of interesting people.
Her tone was light and airy, carrying a hint of inscrutable amusement: "Mm, Vice President Qin is right." She took a step forward, then paused, turning back with a bright, sincere smile to add, "Also, thank you."
If it weren't for Qin Zhen, she would have definitely been knocked into a sorry state by those unruly kids just now.
Qin Zhen lowered her eyes to look at her. As she spoke, her gaze subtly shimmered, like scattered diamonds of sunlight falling within, illuminating those pure eyes. Her face was like peach blossoms, vibrant but not vulgar, faintly revealing a touch of youthful inexperience. This face possessed a unique charm; if she wished, she could capture anyone's heart with it.
Qin Zhen calmly responded with an "Mm," not lingering too long on that captivating face. She quickly and subtly shifted her gaze, perhaps looking at her fair earlobes tinged with red, or her fair, slender neck. Although unadorned by earrings or necklaces, it didn't prevent her from naturally exuding her own beauty.
No accessories...
Qin Zhen's eyelashes fluttered. She suddenly recalled Jiang Manwei's lingering gaze on Wen Shixue as they left the coffee shop, which had briefly rested on these very areas. At the time, she hadn't realized what Jiang Manwei was looking for, but now she fully understood—she was looking for Wen Shixue's jewelry.
If even Wen Shixue didn't use her own company's jewelry and accessories, how could she convince others to use them?
Fortunately, Wen Shixue wasn't wearing anything today, so she didn't give Jiang Manwei any ammunition.
However, after spending time with Wen Shixue, Qin Zhen had noticed that Wen Shixue rarely wore any accessories. She came and went every day unburdened, almost the most minimally accessorized young lady she had ever seen.
Wen Shixue noticed Qin Zhen's gaze seemed to be sweeping over other parts of her body and directly asked, "Vice President Qin, what are you looking at?"
Qin Zhen calmly replied, "President Wen seems not to like wearing accessories."
Hearing this, Wen Shixue turned and walked forward, saying as she went, "I really don't like wearing them. I only wear them when the weather is comfortable or for important occasions."
Summer was too hot; she didn't like adding anything extra to her body, not even a tiny earring. Winter was too cold; the moment accessories touched her skin, it sent shivers down her spine, so she didn't like that either. She simply didn't wear them. It wasn't a problem to go without accessories; she believed her beauty didn't need any embellishments.
Wen Shixue: Don't ask, just know I'm confident!
After speaking, she paused, turned back, and narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Qin Zhen: "Vice President Qin, you're not right."
The usually serious Vice President Qin was actually secretly paying attention to her clothing and style... She smelled an unusual scent!
Seeing her straying further down the path of misunderstanding, Qin Zhen's eyes remained as calm as ever. She calmly explained, "President Wen is overthinking. When we left the coffee shop, Miss Jiang looked at your ears and neck. I thought she might be looking to see if you were wearing Chenfeng's jewelry. That's when I remembered I rarely see you wearing accessories."
Wen Shixue readily agreed: "Then she's not right."
At that moment, she had been contemplating the most difficult question in the world, "What should I eat later?" Because she was thinking too seriously, she hadn't noticed where Jiang Manwei's eyes were darting—just leave, why look at someone's ears and neck? This female lead wasn't quite proper.
However, she thought about it carefully. It was understandable for the female lead to do this. They were at an age where they liked to dress up. If even she, the CEO, didn't use Chenfeng's products to enhance her own appearance, how could she better convince others to use them?
Moreover, everyone loves beauty. People not only love their own beauty but also all beautiful things. If wearing these jewels could better showcase their beauty and exquisite craftsmanship, wouldn't it stimulate customers' desire to buy and earn money for Chenfeng?!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, her mental abacus clicking loudly. Finally, she stopped at the store entrance, her eyes smiling as she looked at Qin Zhen, who had given her this information: "I've decided to give the design department a task: have them design a series of pieces for each of us."
Hearing this, Qin Zhen's brow furrowed slightly: "...Us?"
She knew what Wen Shixue wanted to do, but why was she involved in this matter?
Before Chenfeng had a brand ambassador, wasn't the face of Chenfeng just President Wen Shixue? Why would she, the Vice President, be involved in promoting and showcasing products?
Wen Shixue smiled, revealing a cunning capitalist grin, her tone exceptionally amiable: "Make the best use of people and resources. Vice President Qin is intelligent, capable, and beautiful; I cannot waste that."
Qin Zhen's position was Vice President, serving as both her assistant and one of the company's managers. In the future, she would also go out to negotiate business for Chenfeng. At those times, Wen Shixue might not be by her side. Given this, why not just have her wear Chenfeng's pieces when she goes out? It was just a matter of switching jewelry stores; she wouldn't lose anything.
One more opportunity to showcase means one more opportunity to make money. When it comes to building a business, Wen Shixue was serious!
Qin Zhen: "..."
For the sake of Chenfeng, she truly stopped at nothing.
...
Wen Shixue was a woman of her word. That same day, she called a meeting with the design department and assigned the task, giving them ample time for creative freedom. She required them to complete all the pieces by the deadline without delay and explicitly stated that she and Qin Zhen would both wear the designed pieces. Therefore, she divided them into several major series, designing jewelry and accessories suitable for various occasions, such as evening parties, client meetings, daily wear, and so on...
After the meeting, Zhu Ziming caught up with Wen Shixue and Qin Zhen and asked them to step aside for a word.
Once they reached a secluded spot, Wen Shixue asked, "What is it?"
Zhu Ziming smiled brightly, asking sincerely and seriously, "I just wanted to ask you two, since you'll both be wearing them, do you need... couple's styles designed for you?"
Qin Zhen: "..."
Wen Shixue: "?"
This male lead, you really don't need to be so considerate...
