Lord! Give up, my wife is a black and white vest

Chapter 159: Constant testing; suspecting that Wen Li is Grey’s apprentice; Wen Li: Did you poison m

Wen Yan returned to the design department in a daze.

Unwilling to respond to the smiling faces of her colleagues in the department, she locked herself in the independent office she had just been assigned to and checked Grey's information.

Grey, a dark horse in the industry, emerged five years ago as the chief designer of LUCY.

After that, she became a well-deserved famous designer with her strength and works in a short period of time, and also made LUCY, which was far inferior to the major brands of Jinbolin at that time and was stuck in the mid-range and competing with a bunch of luxury brands, achieve a comeback.

It ended the era when several other major brands dominated luxury goods.

He quickly became the new king of the jewelry industry who was unchallenged.

Grey is known for his creativity.

Each new work can give people a refreshing and amazing effect, and over the years, his inspiration seems to be inexhaustible. He has left no way out for his predecessors in the industry and no chance for his juniors to catch up. He is a leader in the industry.

His works attracted royal families and collectors to compete for them.

Grey has been deified by newcomers in the industry.

Wen Yan was naturally well-known for Gery.

She already knew everything she could know from the information released.

After much investigation, Grey's information is still as mysterious as a state secret. His appearance, gender, age and nationality are all unknown.

There is no way to know whether Grey has accepted any disciples.

In the evening, Wen Yan returned home and went upstairs to find Wen Ming.

"Sorry, brother. I have something to talk to you about, so I came up without saying hello." Wen Yan knocked on the door of Wen Ming's study and apologized.

When he was young, Wen Ming did not welcome his father's adopted new sister, nor did he like his father's new stepmother.

He occupied the third floor and did not allow them to come up.

He was not happy with them, including Wen Baixiang.

She also insisted on going to find Wen Li who had been sent away, and took action to do so. She packed up her things and left home, but was intercepted by Wen Baixiang halfway.

Later, he insisted on going abroad and did not return home for several years. It was not until he passed his rebellious period that his relationship with his family began to ease.

"I didn't know much when I was little."

Wen Ming said this.

But there is always a sense of distance between them. Although they seem gentle and polite, it is impossible for people to get close to them.

"looking for me?"

"Can we go in and talk?" Wen Yan pointed into the study.

Wen Ming opened the half-open door and let her in.

He poured a glass of water for Wen Yan who was sitting on the sofa.

"Thank you, brother."

Wen Ming sat down on the other side, waiting for Wen Yan to speak.

"Brother, I want to ask about Grey."

Wen Yan held the water cup in both hands, sat dignified, and said with a smile: "Haven't you been a consultant at -LUCY- for three years?"

Seeing Wen Ming looking at her, Wen Yan continued, "I have always aspired to become a famous designer like him."

"I'm now Lu's chief designer, and I've been collaborating with Jin Bolin for a long time. I've also become a competitor of -LUCY-. I want to get to know Grey better, so I can know myself and my enemy better and win every battle."

Wen Ming said calmly, "His information is available online."

Wen Yan said helplessly: "Almost none."

Wen Ming: "Anything that can be made public can be checked online. Anything that cannot be made public is industry secrets. Although I am no longer with -LUCY-, I still have to maintain professional ethics, let alone leaking his information to -LUCY-'s rivals."

These words made Wen Yan feel a little embarrassed.

Wen Yan lowered her head, stroking the cup with her thumb, and whispered, "Can't you even say whether it's a boy or a girl..."

She put the cup down and stood up dejectedly.

"...Then, I won't bother you anymore, bro."

Wen Ming looked at her dejected look as she walked out with her head down, and finally said, "It's not that I can't tell you, it's that I don't know either."

Wen Yan turned around.

"I've been in -LUCY- for three years and I've never met him. Neither have anyone else. Only the chairman of -LUCY- knows his information."

"So, has he ever accepted any students?"

Wen Ming: "I don't know."

Seeing that Wen Ming didn't seem to be lying, Wen Yan had no choice but to give up.

This Grey is really mysterious.

Wen Ming: "You..."

Hearing the voice, Wen Yan came back to her senses: "What's wrong, brother?"

Wen Ming: "Nothing."

He wanted to ask about Lu Zicheng, but they were two adults socializing normally, so what could he ask?

Wen Yan went downstairs in a state of anxiety. When she met Wen Li who had just returned, she couldn't help but pause. Her calm face hid nervousness and panic.

Seeing that Wen Li ignored her as usual and was about to go back to her room as if nothing had happened, Wen Yan calmed down and called her.

"Xiao Li, I asked someone to make some bird's nest and shark's fin soup. Would you like to have some?"

Surprisingly, she agreed: "Okay."

in the restaurant,

Wen Yan stirred the bird's nest in the bowl, taking a small bite from time to time, her attention completely focused on Wen Li sitting opposite her.

"Why do you keep peeking at me?"

Wen Li's sudden words almost startled Wen Yan.

"what?"

Wen Yan's psychological quality is definitely good enough, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to maintain such a good image for so many years.

Wen Li raised his eyes: "Did you poison me?"

She asked, putting another mouthful into her mouth.

Wen Li said it half-jokingly with a calm expression, so calm that she looked serious. Coupled with her personality of being wary of everyone, this made the thief Wen Yan mistakenly think that she was serious.

Fortunately, I reacted in time.

Wen Yan forced a smile: "Xiao Li, what are you talking about?"

She lowered her head and took a small bite. Soon, she raised her head again and asked, "Xiao Li, do you know Grey?"

Wen Li replied slowly: "Designer, I've heard a little bit about it."

Wen Yan observed Wen Li's reaction. "You've only heard of him vaguely? The design you entered in the last campus competition was somewhat similar to Grey's style. Was it an imitation, or are you actually Grey's student?"

Wen Li raised his head to look at her, without saying a word, just staring at her while eating.

The restaurant was uncomfortably quiet.

Under Wen Li's gaze, Wen Yan appeared calm and had a standard smile on her face, but her palms were already sweating.

She naturally lowered her head to eat, avoiding Wen Li's sight.

He said, "If it's not convenient to disclose, forget it. Grey himself is mysterious, and the matter of accepting a disciple must be..."

Wen Li: "Plagiarism."

The sudden words made Wen Yan's heart skip a beat.

She almost lost her composure, but she controlled herself.

"What?" Wen Yan looked puzzled.

Wen Li: "I said that my work for the campus competition actually used Grey's earlier work, so it can be considered as reference."

outside the door,

Wen Xin, who had come over to follow the sound, widened her eyes when she heard this.

You're such a good fellow, Wen Li! You actually have the nerve to laugh at her for cheating when you yourself were just plagiarizing others!

I'm telling you, how could a country-raised amateur like you beat Tang Tan?!

The impatient Wen Xin was about to rush in and accuse her.

She withdrew her feet in time at the critical moment.

Because she thought of a more extreme way to kill someone with someone else's knife.

Wen Xin's eyes were filled with excitement.

Wen Li, just wait.

See how Tang Tan will deal with you!

Wen Xin left quietly.

Wen Li glanced lazily in the direction of the door and ignored it. She continued to speak to Wen Yan nonchalantly, "Grey and I are somewhat acquainted, and he also said that I'm quite talented."

Wen Yan nodded suddenly: "So that's how it is..."

If the two knew each other, then the strange incident of Grey's work appearing in Wen Li's trash can seemed to be explained.

Although there are still some unreasonable aspects, Wen Yan can't think of any other possibilities. It's impossible that Wen Li is Grey, right?

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Wen Yan's attention was so focused on this that she ignored the small loophole in Wen Li's words.

"Take your time eating. I'll go upstairs first." Wen Yan got up and left.

She thought to herself: It seems that Wen Li doesn’t know that “Grey is trying to scam her”.

Wen Li was the only one left in the restaurant.

She was eating alone.

The more I eat, the more bland and tasteless it seems.

But she did not waste the food and ate it all.

She put down the spoon, leaned back lazily, tapped the table with her fingertips, and curled her lips in boredom.

He sent people to Mingcheng to check her background, and took the initiative to get close to her and please her. I thought he was planning some big move, but it turned out that he was guilty of stealing her design draft... He's not even as good as Wen Xin.

Not interesting.

Let’s see how long Wen Yan can struggle.
