Chapter 30 Graduation
In May, the sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly, which is the most beautiful time of spring.
In the Polit Institute of Design and Art, the fresh master graduates are soaking in the workshops, immersing themselves in the preparation of their graduation projects.
This school is the only art school in New York that offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in jewelry and metalworking. For the students here, how to complete the graduation project perfectly is of great significance.Because, only the works with grade A or above are eligible to be exhibited in the Polit Jewelry Design Exhibition.
As a grand event for new designers, the annual design exhibition will be attended by many industry leaders and collectors.Those excellent works are often bought and collected by VIPs, and many well-known jewelry brands will send people to inspect and discover potential rookies.
"Excuse me--"
The door of the workshop was knocked open suddenly, and He Jingnian walked in staggeringly holding a large box in both hands.The other three raised their heads from their workstations one after another. Zheng Hang glanced at him, then lowered his head and went back to his own work, "I was shocked, I didn't know how to knock on the door."
"Sorry." He Jingnian put the big box on the table with difficulty, "I'm really out of hands."
"Yoel, what good things did you find again?" Adrian came over to help him tidy up.He is a local student, he admires He Jingnian very much, and the relationship between the two has always been good.
"Well, I ran around the wholesale market all morning, and I finally gained something." He Jingnian laughed.
Studying jewelry design in New York, in addition to galleries, art museums, and fashion weeks can bring students a steady stream of inspiration, a wide range of material stores can also provide sufficient material protection for design.There are many material stores in the wholesale market that He Jingnian often visits. Although the store is like a small cubicle, you can find everything you want or unexpected here.
"Wow, what are these things you bought?" Zhu Jingyuan also came over and looked through each one curiously. "By the way, isn't your design draft not yet finished? Why did you buy a lot of materials first?"
"I just finished it yesterday." He Jingnian said, "I can finally start working today."
"There is no one else at this speed." Zhu Jingyuan admired, "As expected of you."
"Yoel is the most promising student in our school to get an S rating for his graduation project." Adrian was full of pride, "At that time, the only work with an S rating will definitely be placed in the most prominent position There will definitely be many big brands scrambling to send offers to Yoel.”
"Oh, I don't know if I have the opportunity to participate in the exhibition." Zhu Jingyuan was worried, "The modeling drawing that was revised only yesterday, but today I saw the cere that was poured out and thought it was not good. It's really annoying."
"If you don't mind, I can help you take a look together." He Jingnian said, "The Polit Jewelry Design Exhibition is very important for the start of your career. If you have the opportunity, you must strive for it."
"Really? You are an angel every year!"
"Please, what's the fuss?" Adrian shrugged, "When Yanyi first came in, Yoel helped us a lot, right?"
Polite's curriculum is very intensive, covering creativity, making, social responsibility in jewelry and metalworking, and more.Professors also have very high requirements for students. When they first enter school, they will face the high-intensity academic pressure of ten finished products in one semester.But they were also freshmen, Adrian and Zhu Jingyuan were tortured terribly, but He Jingnian handled it with ease. Everyone thought he was very good, not like a fledgling rookie at all.
"Yoel, you didn't work in any devil company before, did you?" A classmate once joked, "It turned out to be unlucky to meet an inhuman black-hearted boss."
"How is that possible." He Jingnian waved his hands quickly, "I was recuperating in the hospital the first year I came to the United States."
He was injured in a traffic accident, which caused brain damage, lost most of his memory, and even his mental level was seriously affected.Fortunately, his boyfriend never left him and brought him to the United States for treatment.After a year of intensive recuperation, he finally fully recovered.
It was also during this time that he fell in love with jewelry design, and when the situation was better, he couldn't help taking out a pen and paper to paint and draw.He didn't know why he fell in love with this thing suddenly, maybe he was aroused by the anklets on his feet.Every time he saw it, he felt that the ruby on it was so unbelievably beautiful that he even had the urge to cry.But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember its origin at all.
"This string of chains was something very important to me before, otherwise I wouldn't have worn them all the time." He asked his boyfriend, "Honey, is this a gift from you?"
"No." The boyfriend smiled and shook his head, "It's also the first time I've seen you."
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, his boyfriend gave him a big surprise.
"I organized the manuscripts you drew during your recuperation into a portfolio and submitted them to Polit School of Design and Art to help you apply for its master's degree. Just now, the school replied to the email, and your artistic accomplishment and professional potential were indeed recognized. It has been successfully admitted."
"Great, thank you!" He hugged happily with his boyfriend.To have such a gentle and considerate boyfriend makes me the happiest person in the world.
He Jingnian was chatting with Adrian and Zhu Jingyuan when Zheng Hang stood up suddenly, and the chair rubbed against the ground, making a loud screeching sound.He strode out and slammed the door shut with a bang.
"What happened to him?" Zhu Jingyuan frowned.
"Don't pay attention to him, he hasn't always been like this." Adrian sneered, "Do you think it's great to start a jewelry business at home? Isn't the result not as good as Yoel's."
"Yeah, I used to think he was targeting Niannian, it's just jealousy." Zhu Jingyuan elbowed He Jingnian, "Do you still remember the scholarship selection? The professor favored your creativity even more , and finally voted for you, which caused him to keep worrying about it."
He Jingnian was a little embarrassed, "It was so long ago, it's not like that."
"Whoever said that, you can have as long as you can." Zhu Jingyuan hated iron and steel, "Do you know that Zheng Hang also took the initiative to ask Ying to be the curator in charge this time. He was so busy that he went to pick up this again. It's a hard and tiring job, I suspect that he's playing tricks, and maybe he's going to use some crooked brains on the layout of the exhibits on site."
"Tuk Tuk."
At this moment, there was a polite knock on the door outside.
Several people turned their heads, and saw a tall, thin and handsome man leaning against the door with a bouquet of roses and a faint smile.
"Tang Feng?" He Jingnian took off his denim apron and ran over in surprise. "Why are you here so early?"
"Aren't you happy to see me earlier?" Shen Tangfeng took off his hat and handed the flowers to him.He Jingnian took it, his cheeks turned red, "Thank you, I like it very much."
"Let's go." Shen Tangfeng stretched out his hand towards him, "I've already made a reservation for the restaurant."
Maybe he is still not used to being so intimate with his boyfriend in front of other people, He Jingnian is a little hesitant.Shen Tangfeng smiled lightly, and took the initiative to hold his hand.
Adrian and Zhu Jingyuan were watching an idol drama.Damn, every time He Jingnian, a super perfect boyfriend with good looks, good family background and good personality, comes, they will be sweetened severely.
After arriving at the restaurant, Zhuang Manyin was already sitting there waiting.Seeing He Jingnian, she immediately smiled, "Sit down quickly, Niannian. Are you hungry? I've ordered all the dishes you like, and I'll eat more later."
Squeezing the back of the young man's hand, she complained, "Look at you, why have you lost weight after a few days? Is it because Xiaofeng didn't take good care of you?"
He Jingnian was embarrassed, "No, Tangfeng treated me very well, but I was busy with my graduation project and didn't pay attention to rest."
"Isn't it just a jewelry design exhibition?" Zhuang Manyin felt distressed. "When you return to China, we can do as many games as we want, and we need to find the most powerful Sheng Heng..."
"Mom, let's eat first." Shen Tangfeng pushed a plate of fried sea bass with black truffle in front of his mother, "Try it, I think it's very good."
Zhuang Manyin knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly moved on to other topics.
In the past three years, because of He Jingnian, she recovered from her illness miraculously.The doctor said that her illness was essentially heart disease, and He Jingnian was her heart medicine.
After waking up, she remembered many things from the past, and knew that the young man she had always thought of as Xiao Yu was not actually her lost eldest son.However, she still likes him.In her heart, he has long been her real child.
Therefore, she hesitated again and again, and agreed to Shen Tangfeng's request, and together concealed his past from He Jingnian.On the one hand, as Shen Tangfeng said, she did not want those unpleasant memories to hurt He Jingnian again.
On the other hand, out of her selfishness, she resolutely does not want the relationship between He Jingnian and Shen Tangfeng to be damaged.Only if they get married smoothly, can He Jingnian stay in Shen's house justifiably, call her mother, and be her child.
The gods took pity on her and sent Xiao Yu back to her, and she would never let Xiao Yu leave her again.
After dinner, He Jingnian and Shen Tangfeng sent Zhuang Manyin to the airport.Zhuang Manyin was reluctant to leave. If her husband hadn't missed her and urged her so hard, she would have never wanted to go back early.
"If you don't check in, you won't be able to catch up." Shen Tangfeng said, "It will only take more than a month, and we will return to China when we graduate every year."
"Anyway, I'm not here, so you must take good care of my baby." Zhuang Manyin never forgot to tell him, "He has always been weak, so don't let him get tired and sick again, do you understand?"
Shen Tangfeng smiled and nodded, "Don't worry."
"Then I'll go first." Zhuang Manyin waved his hand, "Remember to come back early, my father and I are still waiting to prepare for your wedding."
Time flies, and it is already June in a blink of an eye.Without any suspense, He Jingnian's graduation project "Birds" became the only S-level work in the academy.
The necklace was inspired by his hospitalization experience.At that time, he was like a bird trapped in a cage, not free.But thanks to the love and support of his boyfriend, he can finally welcome a new life.
For Shen Tangfeng's devotion, he was really grateful beyond words.
On the day when the rating results were announced, all the students gathered together and happily celebrated the new year.If He Jingnian's works can shine in the design exhibition and amaze the industry, it will not only become the pride of their school, but also the glory of the whole school.
"Hey, you don't know yet, do you?" A student raised his voice excitedly, "I heard from the dean that there will be a very important person coming this time, and it must be a super important one. In order to invite him Come here, the school has spent a lot of effort."
"Hmm... Isn't the list announced earlier? Who else can there be?"
"That's right, all the most powerful bosses in the industry can be invited!"
"You can't guess that it is the original speech of Shengheng's chairman! Then he will give a speech at the graduation ceremony!"
As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar.
"How is it possible! How could he come?"
"That's right. I heard that the school wanted to invite him before, but I couldn't invite him at all."
"This time it happened to coincide with the school celebration. The school wanted to invite him no matter what. For this reason, several school directors went to the city hall to discuss with the mayor. In the end, the mayor took the initiative to invite him, so he reluctantly sold his face."
"My God, doesn't that mean we can meet Yuan Cisheng in person?"
"I don't know if I have the opportunity to take a photo with him. If possible, I will definitely cherish that photo for a lifetime."
"Let me have a dream, I hope my work can be selected by him."
"Oh, me too. What designer doesn't dream of joining Shengheng? It's just that Shengheng's recruitment standards have become more and more abnormal in recent years. Not only must he be able to draw, but he must also be able to master every step of jewelry production. It’s really hard for newcomers to get an offer from it.”
"Maybe Yoel can."
"I think so too! Didn't Yoel's work get the S grade? It will definitely be placed in the most important position at that time, and Yuan Cisheng must have seen it at first glance."
"Yoel, I believe Yuan Cisheng will not miss you. As long as he has seen your design, he will do everything possible to lure you to Shengheng."
He Jingnian was dizzy from what they said.In the past few years, he has paid little attention to the outside world. He only heard about Shengheng's near-dominant status in the jewelry industry, but he didn't know Yuan Cisheng at all, let alone why his classmates were so excited about him coming.
"Is the original chairman you mentioned very powerful?"
As soon as the words were finished, the students all looked at him in unison in an instant, their eyes were extremely shocked.
"You...you're not kidding, are you?"
He Jingnian bit the straw nervously, "Yes."
So, everyone introduced the original voice to him one by one.From the noble and legendary life experience, to the glorious achievements since taking over Shengheng, all these are talked about with great relish.
At the end, another student talked about the emerald ring on Yuan Cisheng's hand, Argos, who is well-known in the entire jewelry industry.At this point, He Jingnian, who was stunned for a while, finally reacted, and said with yearning: "If there is a chance, I really want to see such a gem."
"Hmph, people who only know how to find cheap goods in the wholesale market really dare to think." Zheng Hang, who had been keeping a cold face, suddenly made a sound, and slammed the cup on the table.
"My family has received a lot of top-quality loose stones in recent years, the largest of which is only 23 carats. Argos weighs [-] carats and comes from the Moso mining area in the Andes Mountains. The color is bright and saturated. Uniform, it can be said to be the most precious emerald in the world. Unfortunately, I am afraid that you will never have the chance to see such an emerald in your life."
He finished the chatter like a cannonball, and the originally lively atmosphere of the scene suddenly froze.The classmate sitting next to He Jingnian quietly said: "Don't pay attention to him, it's just his virtue. Because he lost to you in his graduation project, he was so angry that he was jumping behind his back. I think he still has a lot of sourness."
"So what? Yoel can make S-level works with ordinary materials. Didn't you just get APlus with your noble bare stones?" Some students were annoyed and responded unceremoniously.
These words hit Zheng Hang's sore spot, his face darkened instantly, he stood up, turned around and left.Before leaving, he did not forget to give He Jingnian a hard look.
Just wait and see how long you can be proud.
The next day, the graduation ceremony was officially held.The spacious and bright stepped auditorium was full of people, and it was dark from a distance.
On the stage, the principal was giving an emotional speech, and his voice was pulled by the microphone to create a buzzing echo.
"Finally, let us invite Mr. Yuan Cisheng, Chairman, President and CEO of Shengheng Jewelry Group, to deliver a speech on stage."
The audience burst into applause.
In the flashing spotlight, a man walked slowly up the steps onto the stage.The moment he appeared, it was like a supernova explosion at the end of a star's evolution, and an incredible light filled the entire auditorium.
Is this person the original voice?He Jingnian sat very far back, stretching his neck and looking forward.The contrast between the man on the stage and his imagination was too sharp. What he sketched in his mind was the image of a middle-aged and wealthy entrepreneur.And the person in front of him is not only too young, but also too beautiful, and even reveals a fragile feeling like a doll.
He was covered in dark materials from head to toe, and even his dark chestnut-colored half-length curly hair was tied with a jet-black ribbon.And his face was as white as the shallowest layer of new snow on the top of the mountain, with thin cheeks and deep eyebrows, shrouded in a shadowy beauty full of sadness.
He Jingnian looked at him and felt that just by standing there, he turned the originally lively and festive graduation ceremony into a solemn and solemn funeral ceremony.Although this kind of occasion needs to be more solemn and formal, isn't he going too far?With that attire, that look, those who didn't know would think he was attending the funeral for someone.
However, Yuan Cisheng's speech is still quite good.He didn't say those false words at all, and what he shared was some practical experience that fresh graduates can use after they enter the workplace. Many students took out their notebooks and wrote them down.
After the presentation, there was a free question-and-answer period.The opportunity was rare, and the students rushed to raise their hands to ask questions.Considering that there are many international students from all over the world among the graduates, the school specially equipped several translators.However, the original speech is not needed at all. He is proficient in using various languages to deal with the problems of students from different countries. His diction is elegant and decent without losing his sense of humor.
"Why is he so powerful!" Adrian was extremely excited, "I swear I've never seen anyone more attractive than him."
Zhu Jingyuan nodded desperately, "Does he look like the heroine in Charlotte Bronte's novel? He is the ideal type in the world!"
"Yoel, don't you have any questions you want to ask him?"
He Jingnian shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll just listen."
At this time, Zheng Hang raised his hand high.
Yuan Ci's eyes flicked in their direction, froze for a moment, and then returned to normal, "This classmate, please."
Zheng Hang stood up abruptly, and asked the question that he considered to be profound and meaningful that had been rolling in his mind countless times.
After listening to the original speech, I smiled, "Is the significance of gems to human beings... I'm sorry, I'm not a scholar, but a businessman who sells gems. I'm afraid I can't answer your question very well. However, I remembered that my lover once asked I don’t know if what I have said can give you some inspiration, including all students who are interested in jewelry design.”
"That's what my lover said, whether it's the giver or the wearer, compared to the value of the gem itself, the most precious thing is the sincere heart."
"Gems are beautiful, rare, and can be preserved forever, so human beings pursue them and are obsessed with them. However, if they are not carefully carved, made, and gifted to someone, they are just slightly more beautiful colored stones, completely meaningless. "
"Although the human heart is invisible, it is better than everything tangible. Our heart is something far more precious than any gem."
The deep and elegant voice of the original speech slowly echoed through the entire auditorium through the microphone and audio equipment.His expression became very soft, as if immersed in a sweet dream, it was almost doubtful whether his lover was sitting at the scene, listening to his affectionate confession.
"Sure enough, she's showing her affection in the air again." Adrian whispered.
He Jingnian was confused, "What do you mean?"
"Yuan Cisheng has a very good relationship with his wife, and he often mentions his wife." Zhu Jingyuan said, "Last week, when the media interviewed him, he also said that what he looks forward to most every day is to go with his wife. Kindergarten picked up his daughter from school. You didn't see his expression at that time, let alone how happy he was."
"Wow..." He Jingnian's eyes widened.The degree of affection between the former chairman and his wife was comparable to that of himself and Shen Tangfeng.
"Hey, did I impress Yuan Cisheng just now? I feel like he has been staring at us." Zheng Hang was so excited after asking the question. "Look." He proudly pointed to the brooch on his clothes, "I also specially wore Shengheng's new high-end jewelry series today."
Zhu Jingyuan rolled her eyes, "It's funny, people's faces can't be seen clearly from such a long distance, let alone a brooch."
Zheng Hang shrugged, "It's okay, there will always be a chance to see it."
"what does it mean?"
"The design exhibition will open tomorrow. As the person in charge of the exhibition, I will take on the tasks of receiving exhibitors, introducing the basic situation of the exhibition hall, and assisting guests in communicating with designers." Zheng Hang deliberately paused, "Of course, it includes the original Resignation."
"Tch." Zhu Jingyuan rolled her eyes even more fiercely.
The enthusiasm of the students was too high, and the question and answer time had to be extended.
"I'm leaving first." He Jingnian pointed to the time on his phone, "I have an appointment tonight."
"Go, go, I'll cover you." Adrian turned sideways to help him cover.So, He Jingnian stooped and slipped out the back door.
Soon came the final guest group photo session.At this moment, the man who had been following Yuan Cisheng suddenly walked down the steps and hurried towards the seat.
"Hi, I'm the secretary of the former chairman." The man scanned the faces of Adrian, Zhu Jingyuan and Zheng Hang, and his eyes fell on the vacant seat. "Excuse me, where did the classmate sitting here go?"
