The morning light gradually spilled between the tall buildings of the city as Bai Huaiyu arrived early at the small conference room of the publishing house, preparing for her first formal meeting with Jiang NanJin. She wore a soft white shirt paired perfectly with light gray suit pants, embodying simplicity without losing elegance, highlighting her blend of professionalism and feminine grace. Her hair was neatly pinned back, but a few stray strands playfully fell across her forehead, adding a touch of fresh sweetness to her serious demeanor.
She walked gently to the whiteboard, carefully arranging the presentation materials. Her movements appeared somewhat clumsy, her fingers trembling slightly, and there was a hint of sweat on her palm gripping the marker. In her eyes flickered a mix of anticipation and nervousness, as if an intense battle was raging deep within her.
She occasionally looked towards the door, seemingly anticipating the arrival of Jiang NanJin. There was a slight sound at the door, and her heart couldn't help but beat a little faster. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a certain someone who was late walked into the meeting room.
Jiang NanJin stands there like a carefully conceived painting, with every detail exuding delicacy and elegance. His tall and well-proportioned figure, broad shoulders, and graceful posture give off an air of ease. The black casual jacket he wears is both fashionable and casual, complementing his unique mixed-race charm. The simple yet well-fitted jeans on his lower body showcase his long and slender legs. The canvas shoes he wears are simple yet tasteful.
His slightly long hair naturally falls on his shoulders, exuding a wild and artistic temperament. This free-spirited hairstyle complements his overall style, making him appear both individualistic and refined.
The most striking feature is his pair of violet eyes, deep and mysterious, as if they hold infinite stories and emotions. His gaze is profound, seemingly able to see into the depths of the human heart, yet with a touch of elusive detachment from the world. These eyes shimmer in the sunlight, like ancient gems, emitting a captivating radiance.
When a faint smile appears at the corner of his mouth, his entire face seems to light up. It's a restrained and charming smile, as if he holds a unique perspective on the world, both profound and transcendent.
Jiang NanJin was like a unique light, attracting the attention of those around him. His presence was not only due to his captivating appearance but also because of an indescribable charm and aura that made him stand out in any situation.
Bai Huaiyu's heart raced as she hurried forward, awkwardly offering a polite greeting, "Mr. Jiang, welcome. We are very pleased to be working with you." Her voice trembled slightly, and the whiteboard marker in her hand nearly slipped from her grasp.
Jiang NanJin slightly nodded, his gaze sweeping over Bai Huaiyu, a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm in his smile. "Miss Bai, I've heard that you are very interested in my work. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Bai Huaiyu felt a flush on her face; her confusion and nervousness were particularly evident in front of Jiang NanJin. She bit her lip, trying to suppress her inner unease, and began to introduce the collaboration plan.
As Bai Huaiyu introduced herself, her voice gradually became steady as she elaborated on every detail of the collaboration, showcasing her expertise at that moment. However, Jiang NanJin's reaction was unexpected; he only nodded occasionally, mostly remaining silent and listening, with an air of subtle indifference in his gaze.
Halfway through the meeting, Jiang NanJin suddenly interrupted Bai Huaiyu's explanation. His tone was direct and cold: "Miss Bai, your plan sounds perfect, but I am more concerned about the practical implementation. I do not want my work to lose its original soul in this collaboration."
Bai Huaiyu's heart sank suddenly, and an uncertain expression appeared on her face. She tried to remain calm and replied, "Mr. Jiang, I completely understand your concerns. We will do our utmost to maintain the original spirit of the work while innovating upon that foundation."
After the meeting concluded, Jiang Nanjin was the first to leave the conference room, leaving Bai Huaiyu standing alone. She felt a twinge of frustration but quickly regained her optimistic attitude. She murmured to herself, "It's okay, Huaiyu, this is just the beginning; you still have many opportunities to prove yourself."
Bai Huaiyu gathered her meeting materials, took a deep breath, and then left the conference room. As she walked home, her heart was filled with complex emotions, but more than anything, there was a sense of determination and hope for the future. This collaboration would be a tough challenge, but she was resolved not to let any difficulties stand in her way.
Upon returning home, Bai Huaiyu's gaze inadvertently lingered on the blue sky outside the window. She recalled Jiang NanJin's seemingly indifferent yet sharp eyes, stirring a wave of feelings within her. She thought to herself, "Although Jiang NanJin's attitude is hard to grasp, his dedication and standards for his work are truly admirable." While she felt a bit disheartened, there was even more respect for this exceptionally talented artist in her heart.
After leaving the conference room, Jiang NanJin returned to his studio. He sat there, holding the collaboration proposal provided by Bai Huaiyu, his gaze deep in thought. His impression of Bai Huaiyu was that of a passionate yet somewhat confused young woman. Her expertise impressed him, but her noticeable nervousness and lack of confidence also concerned him. Jiang NanJin thought to himself, "This collaboration seems to be more challenging than I expected."
The next day, when Bai Huaiyu arrived at the workplace, she felt much calmer. She decided to treat yesterday's meeting as a learning opportunity to gain experience. She sat down at her desk and began to carefully organize the content of the previous day's meeting, contemplating how to improve her plan to meet Jiang NanJin's expectations.
Meanwhile, Jiang NanJin sat in his studio, holding a paintbrush, staring at an unfinished painting. Images of Bai Huaiyu and her passionate proposal flashed through his mind. He secretly decided to give Bai Huaiyu a chance to see if this promising girl could bring new life to his work.
Jiang NanJin settled down in the studio, facing his latest piece, but his thoughts were not on the canvas. He picked up his phone and dialed a number, and the voice of his friend Li Feng came through on the other end.
"Hi, NanJin, what's wrong? You sound like you swallowed a fly," Li Feng's voice came through the phone, teasing.
Jiang NanJin leaned back in his chair, took a deep breath, and lazily said, "Today I encountered a quite 'special' situation. Remember the collaboration project I mentioned before? I met with the person in charge today, a typical 'scatterbrain'."
Li Feng curiously asked, "Oh? What kind of 'scatterbrained spirit' is that? Is it pleasant to work with?"
Jiang NanJin chuckled lightly, with a hint of playfulness in his voice, "Pleasant? That depends on how you define it. She's a passionate girl, and her knowledge is decent, but she lacks confidence. In the entire meeting, she was like a startled little deer."
Li Feng was silent for a moment on the phone, then said, "Does it sound like her work has an impact on you?"
Jiang NanJin shook his head, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "Impact? Her proposal is okay, somewhat interesting. She just needs to learn to be more confident, otherwise, isn't this collaboration playing with fire?"
Li Feng smiled and said, "It sounds like you've encountered someone who can give you trouble again."
Jiang NanJin sighed and said with a critical tone, "Maybe. But I'm worried that she can't handle my straightforward style. I'm not here to do charity. What I need are works that are worth showing."
Li Feng comforted, " NanJin, you are always so harsh. But don't forget, even the best diamond needs to be polished."
Jiang NanJin listened quietly, then smiled coldly, "Maybe. Thank you for your 'kind words', Li Feng."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang NanJin's gaze fell once again on his canvas. He gently picked up the paintbrush and began to continue his creation. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, his anticipation for Bai Huaiyu was slowly growing. The girl's confusion and nervousness, along with his laziness and frankness, created a wonderful contrast. Perhaps it was this difference that could spark new ideas in their collaboration.
