Chapter 454: The Old Lady with a Strong Old-Family Smell
"Grandma Xu, please stop busying yourself. There's nothing to see over there. Even though there are so many people, they were all paid to create excitement." Wei Zhuer grabbed Xu An's arm again.
Xu An was already afraid that the little girl would pull him, and fearing that his arm would be dislocated, he quickly moved away. He just wanted to scare the father and daughter, and had no intention of really going.
Seeing Xu An sit down again, Wei Changjiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and unconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Teacher Xu, Zhu'er has designed several works. They have passed the review of the design department and are ready for launch. They are here. Would you like to take a look?"
"Okay." Xu An walked over to the jewelry display case, but was very disappointed by the result. Wei Zhuer had no talent at all in jewelry design, and her style was a mess.
Wei Zhuer herself was very proud. "Teacher Xu, looking at all the jewelry products on the market, there has never been a dark style like mine. Do you think I am very unique and have an alternative talent?"
Xu An sneered silently. Just piling up black gems and adding a few skulls is the dark style? His knowledge is too superficial.
"It is indeed rare." Xu An did not want to explain too much, for fear that if he said too much, the father and daughter would learn something new.
Wei Changjiang took the opportunity to speak: "Teacher Xu, haven't you been looking for a successor in recent years? Do you like Zhu'er's style? If you choose her as your successor, she will definitely be able to carry forward your jewelry design style, and Wei's Jewelry will back her up."
"This is not something I can decide on my own. Let's not talk about this now, lest someone hears and thinks I'm giving you two a backdoor."
"How can you call it a backdoor? Grandma Xu, you are the designer of Wei's Jewelry. If you directly choose me as the successor, others will just think it's natural. If anyone objects, then they have ulterior motives."
"These are two different things and cannot be confused. You are still young and don't understand. Ask your father for advice. Oh, I can't do this when I am old. I am thirsty again. I won't read it anymore. I need to sit down and rest."
Xu An sat back on the sofa, leaned against the back, closed his eyes and dozed off.
Wei Changjiang is such a shrewd person, how could he not see that Xu An did not consider Zhu'er as her successor.
Zhu'er's designs are actually very niche, and if they are put on the market, the sales will not be optimistic, but he has only one daughter, and he must let her be responsible for inheriting Wei's jewelry in the future.
"Teacher Xu." Wei Changjiang frowned. "We have known each other for many years. Back then, you fainted on the track and I took you to the hospital. You were impressed by my design. After that, we worked together for many years. I have long regarded you as a family member, and so does Zhu'er. My wife and I only have one child, Zhu'er. In the future, this huge group will be inherited by Zhu'er, but this child doesn't seem to be very capable. Teacher Xu, can you help me train her? Accept her as an apprentice, but don't announce it to the public. This way you can continue to look for a true successor."
"Chang Jiang, you are abusing the elderly. I am too old to teach young people. If you really want your daughter to inherit the group, change your approach and teach her how to run a company."
“It’s not easy to run a company.”
Wei Changjiang has watched the jewelry group rise step by step, and he knows very well that the secret of success is Xu An's fame. As long as Zhu'er becomes Xu An's apprentice, she will naturally become famous, and Zhu'er will become the trump card of the group. At that time, there will be many professionals to help Zhu'er run the company.
Seeing that Wei Changjiang was still targeting him, Xu An raised his butt again, "There are really too many people over there, I'm too curious, Changjiang, how about you help me go and take a look?"
Wei Changjiang panicked and quickly supported Xu An, "There are too many people over there, and the air is messy, so it's better not to go there."
At this time, the president of the Jewelry Design Society and others came out of the SUMING exhibition hall and came to Wei's side.
The president came over with a large group of people and said, "Master Xu, can you please raise your left hand so that I can see the jewelry you are wearing on it?"
Hearing this, Wei Changjiang subconsciously looked at Xu An's left hand. When he saw it, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Xu An casually raised her left hand to let everyone see the black diamond ring on her hand.
The president smiled and said, "I was right. Master, the black diamond ring on your hand was bought from SUMING, right? Master, you knew this brand a long time ago?"
"No. My family bought this for me when they went shopping. I thought it looked nice, so I put it on. It turns out this ring is from a brand next door. It's fate." Xu An was stunned. Even though she said this, no one could tell she was lying. Because no one thought a great master would lie over such a small matter.
Wei Changjiang's heart was in turmoil, and he watched Xu An anxiously.
The president continued to tell Xu An, "This brand has just moved to Jinghai. Their products are very elegant and stylish. Master, you should go and take a look."
"Let's do it another day. There are too many people there. Chang Jiang told me not to go because the atmosphere is mixed." Xu An picked up the words that Wei Changjiang used to coax her to fool the president.
The president looked at the nose and the heart, secretly mocking Wei Changjiang for being narrow-minded.
"Master, the brand next door is cooperating with the Fuhuang Group. It has a strong background. It is estimated that its future development will move towards high-end and luxury goods."
Wei Changjiang's face looked very ugly. Isn't this similar to Wei's?
"Not bad, not bad." Xu An did not comment much, which made people feel that she was not interested in this new jewelry brand in Jinghai.
Xu An said to the president: "Take me to the office to rest for a while. I will meet with major brands during the conference."
"Okay." The president of the Jewelry Association and his wife accompanied Xu An away.
Wei Zhuer was very angry, "Dad, what is this? Hasn't she seen my jewelry? Why doesn't she accept me as her apprentice? Is she too old and outdated? What jewelry master? I think she is just an old lady with a strong old-fashioned smell."
