She looked at Lu Fenglin. "Someone asked me to repair a bracelet before. I saw him. I'll go downstairs and give it to him."
"Okay, go ahead."
Although Lu Fenglin wanted to go with Xu Qingqing, he also knew that in the restaurant near the university campus, if no one was sitting at the table, it was very likely that the table would no longer be theirs when they came back.
Xu Qingqing picked up her bag and walked downstairs. By this time, Liang Kuan and the others had already ordered their meals and were waiting at the table.
Xu Qingqing took out a box from her bag and put it in front of Liang Kuan. "Your bracelet has been repaired. Check it. If there's no problem, transfer the money."
Liang Kuan had been playing with his phone. Suddenly hearing this somewhat familiar voice, he instinctively looked up and saw Xu Qingqing's unforgettable face.
Looking at the box placed on the table by Xu Qingqing, Liang Kuan's eyes sparkled with surprise. He quickly opened it.
The ice - type jadeite bracelet that had been smashed into pieces was now pieced back together. The cracked parts had been carefully repaired by Xu Qingqing with gold wires, making the whole bracelet look even more high - end.
Liang Kuan was satisfied on the surface. Before he could say anything, Xu Manman beside him spoke up. "I thought this repair master was really that good. Isn't it just patching up the broken parts of the bracelet with gold wires?"
Hearing this, Xu Qingqing was a bit unhappy. She had spent so much time carefully polishing this ice - type jadeite bracelet, but an outsider was here complaining that it was just a trivial matter.
Xu Qingqing never indulged others. Hearing Xu Manman's words, she sneered. "Since you're so capable, why don't you help classmate Liang Kuan repair it?"
Xu Manman stubbornly retorted. "I'm not in this profession. If I were, I'd definitely repair it for Liang Kuan for free."
Xu Qingqing retorted unceremoniously. "People like you who are all talk and no action will hardly excel in any profession. You neither understand how to repair an ice - type jadeite bracelet nor the great difficulty involved in the repair, yet you casually slander my hard work."
"Do you know that the ice - type jadeite bracelet in classmate Liang Kuan's hand is made of a once - in - a - century material? It's extremely difficult to find jadeite fragments of the same material. It's only because I have more resources at hand that I was able to repair the repairable parts. Only in places that were really hard to mend did I use gold wires to wrap around."
"Moreover, I've tried my best to design the overall aesthetic sense of the bracelet. Generally speaking, using gold wires to wrap and repair a bracelet is considered a relatively high - end method."
"Miss Xu Manman, you don't understand any of these. You neither understand the labor intensity I've endured nor know how to appreciate the beauty of high - end accessories. In my eyes, you're vulgar, short - sighted, and rude - mouthed."
"I suggest that Miss Xu Manman learn more about this field in the future, so as not to make a fool of herself when she opens her mouth."
Being ridiculed by Xu Qingqing, Xu Manman immediately blushed with shame and anger.
"Liang Kuan, look at how she's scolding me. Such a person is simply uneducated."
Liang Kuan frowned, not because he was dissatisfied with Xu Qingqing's attitude, but because he was a bit dissatisfied with Xu Manman.
After the incident at Xu Qingqing's shop last time, Liang Kuan already thought that Xu Manman was a bit brainless and stupid. He deliberately ignored her for a few days. Later, seeing her performance, he decided to give her a chance.
But he didn't expect that when they met Miss Xu Qingqing again, Xu Manman immediately showed her ignorance, rudeness, and stupidity.
Liang Kuan deeply felt that they were not from the same world.
He originally planned to at least maintain the decency among classmates during college. He usually ate and had gatherings with them. He generally didn't refuse when Xu Manman invited him. This had always been his principle of dealing with people, but now he felt a bit ashamed.
"Classmate Xu Manman, I think you should apologize to Miss Xu. It's very difficult to repair this bracelet. I've said before that I've visited many places, and they simply didn't have the ability to repair it."
"Just because you're jealous of Miss Xu, you casually say something to slander her. Classmate Xu Manman, if you don't apologize to Miss Xu, then there's no need for us to communicate in the future."
Hearing that Liang Kuan was threatening her for Xu Qingqing, Xu Manman's face was full of grievance. Her eyes immediately turned red, making it seem to others as if Xu Qingqing had bullied her.
"Liang Kuan, you're being too unreasonable. I'm your classmate, while she's just an outsider, someone who was paid to repair your bracelet. Why are you excluding me because of her?"
As she spoke, Xu Manman's voice got louder and louder. Her crying also attracted the attention of others in the restaurant.
Liang Kuan immediately felt annoyed.
This kind of attracting others' attention and being watched like a monkey made Liang Kuan feel very uncomfortable.
He immediately stood up and said to Xu Qingqing. "Miss Xu, let's go to another place to discuss how much to pay you. Don't let her words pollute our ears here."
"Okay."
Xu Qingqing was quite satisfied with Liang Kuan's attitude. The two of them then walked towards the other side.
Liang Kuan still looked sincere. "I heard from my mother that if this bracelet were to be sold when it was intact, its price wouldn't be less than 2 million yuan. Now that you've helped me repair it, how about I transfer 200,000 yuan to you?"
Xu Qingqing always welcomed those who were willing to pay more. She immediately nodded. "Okay."
Moreover, she had also used a lot of scrap materials. Although they were all taken from her own home, they would also be worth a lot of money if sold on the market.
At the same time, Liang Kuan added Xu Qingqing's contact information.
"If there's any work in this field, I'll still come to you, Miss Xu. Happy cooperation."
Xu Qingqing nodded and sat back on the second floor contentedly.
From her seat, she could just see Liang Kuan's table. Xu Manman seemed to be still crying and making a fuss, but Liang Kuan looked impatient. Obviously, he didn't comfort Xu Manman. Instead, the other two boys at the same table comforted her for a long time before she finally calmed down.
Lu Fenglin had also seen what had happened clearly. He took the initiative to say. "I saw you were in trouble just now. I was even planning to go downstairs and teach that unreasonable girl a lesson. I didn't expect Miss Xu to be so good at arguing. You even made her cry."
Xu Qingqing shrugged indifferently. "That's just her trick. She's good at pretending to be weak in front of boys, thinking that boys will feel pity for her."
