Chapter 136: The difference is obvious
Since entering the venue, Xiaomai, the master and the apprentice, have carefully observed each piece of jewelry and felt the inspiration in them. Xiaomai has really benefited a lot, and the guidance of the master has made her suddenly enlightened. I believe that her design level will definitely improve in the future.
On the other hand, Yin Nana was also looking forward to seeing the works of famous designers. After all, she had studied jewelry design courses for three years and considered herself a rising star in the jewelry industry. How could she miss such an occasion?
She followed her mother and aunt, constantly introducing the value of each exhibit to them, and occasionally commenting on its pros and cons. Yin Meiyin looked up at Yin Nana and said, "Great! Nana, your university education was not in vain. Your comments are so accurate. Aunt is optimistic about you. You will definitely achieve great success in the future."
"Meiyin! Not only do you think highly of Nana, our whole family does. Grandpa said that after she graduates, he will send her abroad to study under some international masters, and she will become a great designer when she comes back." In the eyes of Yin's mother, her daughter has always been the best.
"Mom, aunt, I will work hard with your good wishes." Yin Nana has always felt that she has an extraordinary talent in design and will definitely achieve great success. The most urgent thing now is to get rid of Jiang Xiaomai and make herself the brightest new design star in Qingtian Group.
Xiaomai was immersed in the depths of the soul of "Redemption", feeling the unspeakable suffering of the creator. The mother and daughter of the Yin family also came to the "Redemption" display case and started to comment on it.
"Didn't they say that the third floor is the pinnacle of the masterpiece? What the hell is this! It's pitch black and looks worthless at first glance. What was the designer thinking? It's really hard to understand." Yin Meiyin curled her lips, looked like a nouveau riche, and said with a look of disdain.
"Aunt, jewelry design is not as simple as it seems. It has ideological implications. Look, the highlight is the sapphire, which is priceless!" Yin Nana stared at the gem with sharp eyes and boasted self-righteously, "I am a professional."
Sun Meng frowned and glanced to the side. It was the mother and daughter again. Old Yin was a legendary figure in the past. He was able to lead the Yin family to become a wealthy family, which showed that he had an extraordinary mind. But now the descendants of the Yin family are all this kind of people. Apart from the smell of money, they are really useless. Fortunately, she didn't take the idiot as her apprentice for the sake of Old Yin's face, otherwise she would regret it.
Xiaomai overheard the conversation between the Yin family's aunt and nephew. She felt annoyed when her masterpiece was interpreted by others and couldn't help wanting to vent. She muttered to herself while observing the exhibits.
"Woman! Gorgeous gold and diamonds, you are surrounded by the poison of snobbery and the fragrance of arrogance, a fragrance that can seduce and kill people... Woman, you have big breasts and no brains, you don't know the sufferings of the world, you only know how to squander the inheritance of your ancestors, how can you judge the right and wrong of others?"
Sun Meng, who was standing next to her, listened to Xiaomai's mumbling and couldn't help but burst out laughing. This girl was quite mean-spirited and didn't even use a single curse word when she was scolding people.
Yin Nana listened to Xiaomai's sarcastic words, heard Sun Meng's laughter, and the discussions around her, and her face immediately became embarrassed.
"Jiang Xiaomai, you and I both studied jewelry design. Why bother arguing? Why don't we analyze this exhibit and let everyone see who is qualified to comment on it." Yin Nana looked at Xiaomai provocatively.
She just didn't believe it. Jiang Xiaomai's family was poor. How many times had she seen jewelry since she was a child? Maybe she couldn't even tell the difference between platinum and silver. How could she analyze the value of jewelry? Last time she was lucky and won the competition. This time was different. Even someone like her who grew up in a pile of jewelry could barely see the sapphire in the material of this exhibit.
"Okay, I am never qualified to comment on any designer's work. I can only try to figure out his creativity and understand his mood when he was creating the work. You speak first!" Xiaomai agreed readily.
"Are you sure you're not trying to imitate me? Let's make a deal, you can't mention what I said again."
"Okay, you have the final say." Although Xiaomai didn't know Yin Nana, she knew that a young lady who was ignorant and only knew how to eat, drink and play all day long must have nothing in her head.
"Well, let me start by saying that this work is named Redemption because of the cross design in the middle. In Western countries, the cross symbolizes blessing and redemption. This work may look ordinary, but it is actually priceless. It uses a dirty metal ring to set off the precious sapphire in the middle, so it is a low-key luxury product."
After Yin Nana finished speaking, the wealthy ladies around her nodded slightly. This work was indeed low-key, but also priceless.
Yin Nana looked at Xiaomai proudly and said, "It's your turn to speak."
Xiaomai looked at the wealthy ladies nodding their heads around her and said slowly, "A good piece of jewelry is not only reflected by its appearance and price, but more importantly, it can reflect the mood of the creator and let people feel its soul."
“It’s called Redemption. Its grey ring design resembles a deep cage, the cross represents prayer, and the light of the blue gem symbolizes blooming. I can understand the designer’s sadness. He longs for a beam of light to take him out of the cage and bloom into the future. His soul longs for redemption.”
After Xiaomai finished speaking, everyone fell silent, staring at "Redemption" with eyes full of sadness.
"Aunt Sun, let's go! We've seen enough, there's nothing else to do." Xiaomai turned and looked at Sun Meng and said.
"Okay." Xiaomai took Sun Meng's arm and went downstairs, leaving her back to everyone.
What a clear-sighted girl! Her analysis is convincing. At this point in the competition, there is no need for words, the difference is obvious.
