Chapter 453: Chapter 453 Mrs. Fu, Please Check Your Gift!

Wei Chengran was among the first batch to resign from Dane.

The day after returning from Mo Du to the Imperial City, he submitted his resignation.

There was not even a hint of trying to retain him; Dai Qingzhou approved it readily.

On the day Wei Chengran left Dane, he ran into Dai Qingzhou in the elevator. With a face full of sarcasm, Dai Qingzhou said, "Wei Chengran, with your minimal skills, rising to a senior designer at Dane was already your highlight moment of this lifetime. Do you really think that with your scant talent, you can achieve great things like Xie Chenlu?"

Because of Dai Qingzhou’s words, Wei Chengran wallowed at home for several days.

Thinking about his age, approaching forty.

Looking at his uninspiring works on his computer, he couldn’t even compare to Wan Mingyi, let alone Ye Li and Xie Chenlu.

Wei Chengran began to doubt his life: Maybe he really wasn’t cut out to be a jewelry designer?

Until he saw that interview in Paris VG.

Editor Bella asked: Ye, when it comes to jewelry design, do you think innate talent or hard work is more important?

Ye Li answered candidly: Both are important, of course. But compared to talent and effort, a heartfelt passion is the most important.

That’s right, it’s passion!

Because of his passion, he persevered in this field for over a decade, even when he felt like he accomplished nothing.

Because of passion, he struggled at Dane all this while; otherwise, he would have left when someone tried to poach him years ago, why would he stay till today to be ridiculed by Dai Qingzhou?

He came to Ye Li’s Studio with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety, mentally prepared.

If Ye Li rejected him, he would take a break before making further plans.

With summer vacation arriving, he could take his wife and son to Meng City for horseback riding, to Jiang City to climb snowy mountains, to...

"Hire! Must hire!"

Wei Chengran’s thoughts were still nervously swirling when the beautiful girl in front of him extended a smiling hand, "We’re honored that President Wei would grace us with his presence. Ye Li’s Studio is thrilled to have you join!"

Wei Chengran: ??? So... straightforward?

Mu Qingning:... good thing she ran fast enough!

Xie Chenlu:!!! Is this what they mean by great minds think alike?

Wan Mingyi:... Mr. Ye is mighty! What did she just say? Oh right, if I bloom, the butterflies will come!

"Chengran, welcome!"

"Welcome, Chief Designer Wei!"

"Ah, today is truly a wonderful day. Boss, whether it’s for welcoming newbies or team building, we must have a good meal today!"

"Let’s go!"

The endless retrospective summary meeting was canceled.

All the parting sadness and anxiety vanished.

A group of people bustled noisily towards the Imperial Building.

As Ye Li called out, Xie Chenlu glanced back, falling a few steps behind to walk beside her.

"At Dane Studio, are there still any designers familiar with and appreciated by President Xie?"

"??? You mean..."

"Throw them an olive branch. If they’re willing to come, Ye Li’s Studio will welcome them wholeheartedly!"

"!!! Poaching?"

"Uh... isn’t it allowed?"

"Absolutely allowed! I’ve been dreaming of this day! Just wait for the good news from me!"

When he first arrived at the studio, he was in a depressed slump.

Later, he was the cool, silent, sharp-tongued type.

Who would have thought that one day Xie Chenlu could show such a lively and spirited side?

Ye Li:...

I don’t know if it’s Xie Chenlu’s charismatic personality or his overpowering summoning strength.

Or perhaps Ye Li’s Studio was already famous, attracting talented people in droves.

Before they even finished a lavish seafood feast, Ye Li’s Studio had already gained several brilliant designers.

They arranged to discuss details at the studio the next day.

Halfway through the feast, Ye Li’s phone started ringing.

Seeing "Mr. Luo" on the screen, Ye Li paused.

Showing the phone to Wan Mingyi, "Sister Mingyi, could your Mr. Luo have dialed the wrong number?"

Checking her phone, Wan Mingyi didn’t have a missed call from Luo Changchuan.

Suddenly, possibly guessing something, Wan Mingyi smiled, her eyes curving.

Ye Li answered the call, not even getting a chance to say "Hello, brother-in-law" before...

Luo Changchuan’s exasperated yet amused voice came through, "Mr. Ye, we originated from the same root, so why rush to compete? Isn’t your pace a bit too fast?"

A "Radiant" event where Dane aimed to shine was completely overshadowed by Ye Li, who stole the spotlight entirely.

A vindicating "Shaoguang" saw Dane utterly trampled by Ye Li’s Studio.

Before the Mo Du competition ended, Imperial City’s jewelry studios and headhunters sensed an impending storm and began their poaching with great fervor.

Little did they know, Ye Li’s Studio had only just returned from the Imperial City and was already poaching with such seasoned skill.

Luo Changchuan huffed over the phone, "Either you return my wife to me, or you narrow the scope of your olive branch. Give me a definite answer!"

"Mr. Luo, I could hear your abacus clicking from the top floor of the Imperial View!"

Ye Li chuckled, "First there was Ye Li’s Studio, then came your wife, you know? As for the wide range of my olive branch, that’s not my fault, is it? This is just a long-overdue mutual effort where money can’t buy willingness, don’t you agree?"

Can’t out-poach her!

Can’t out-talk her either?

Luo Changchuan: !!!

The meal lasted until evening.

Ye Li and Wan Mingyi planned to return to the studio to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting with the senior designers.

Xie Chenlu and Wei Chengran, caught up in reminiscing, decided to continue in the office.

The rest like Qiao Li An Morning looked at each other and tacitly followed along.

Once again, the group swarmed back to Jingyue Building with warmth and excitement.

They waited a long time for the elevator, and when it opened on the 16th floor, they saw workers coming in and out.

It seemed some company was moving out or in.

Exchanging glances, Ye Li pulled Wan Mingyi along to check it out.

Given the current scale of Ye Li’s Studio.

Xie Chenlu was the chief designer.

Ye Li, Wan Mingyi, Wei Chengran, and the others coming tomorrow were considered senior designers.

Yan Ziqing, Ling Xiaohan, Morning, Qiao Li An, and Mu Qingning were intermediate designers, just a step away from senior level.

Recruit some talented, creative newcomers to nurture.

The current studio was just right.

An opportunity not to be missed.

If any other companies or studios on the same floor moved out and the location was suitable, Ye Li wouldn’t hesitate to take that spot immediately.

You never know, maybe one day the entire floor would be Ye Li’s Studio?

Who knows?

Right?

Rounding the screen wall, the entire row of studios on the left was bright and clean, freshly painted.

Looking around, they were all empty.

Next step was probably the soft decor.

"I remember there was an advertising design company here... and over there was an influencer incubation base?"

As they walked forward, looking at the cleared-out studios, Ye Li was wide-eyed with excitement, "Sister Mingyi, let’s rent this place?"

???

Wan Mingyi was stunned.

Ye Li had already taken out her phone to call the property management.

Upon hearing it was already rented, Ye Li frowned, full of eager anticipation.

Jingyue Building was in Fu Family’s domain.

As Mrs. Fu, cutting a bit of a backdoor deal to poach a location wasn’t too much, right?

At worst, just offer the other party some compensation!

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Ye Li searched for Xiang Yang’s contact in her phone.

Before she could call, her phone chimed with a WeChat message.

It was from Fu Yanci.
