Chapter 463: Chapter 462 Angel’s Tears
Chi Gui nodded, “Alright.”
After speaking, she didn’t waste any more ti. Her slender fingers picked up the engraving tool, twirled it between her fingertips, and then she bent her head down and focused on her carving.
The office quieted down for a mont.
Nobody spoke, just quietly watching Chi Gui carve.
It wasn’t out of respect or the intention not to disturb her, but because… Chi Gui’s carving movents were just too fluid and graceful, excessively beautiful.
Many people had said that the carving movents of top jewelers were like a performance, pleasing to the eyes.
So jewelers even perform jewelry carving live to attract more visitors.
But even soone like Luo Su, the head of the investigation team, had rarely seen a designer with such smooth and precise movents, each one as sleek and appealing as a performance.
Watching her, Luo Su couldn’t help but silently compare himself with Chi Gui in his mind and then he realized…
His movents… they didn’t seem as graceful as Chi Gui’s?
The only one in the room, the chairman, watched Chi Gui with a calm and collected smile, not at all surprised by the exceptional skill she displayed.
Soon, a ruby shaped like a water drop gradually took form in her hands.
In the center of the water drop, Chi Gui used a professional tool to cut out a diamond-shaped indent, clearly ant to embed sothing later.
Seeing this, Luo Su’s eyes suddenly sharpened, “Isn’t this the globally popular masterpiece from last year by Master Timothy—Angel’s Tears?”
Hearing him say this, the others also realized and their gaze towards Chi Gui suddenly changed.
It’s well known that although every piece by Timothy is highly representative and stylistic, the difficulty of producing them is also rated as the highest in the industry.
Even many high imitation counterfeit rchants would automatically steer clear of his works—it’s just too hard to replicate!
It was unexpected that Chi Gui would choose such a challenging piece right off the bat!
Could it be… she really was a hidden master?
Just as this thought arose in everyone’s mind—
“Ah.” Chi Gui suddenly let out a soft cry, and right after, a small crack appeared on the left side of the ruby.
This was clearly a mistake.
Everyone: …
Perhaps they had thought too highly of her.
Luo Su couldn’t help but raise his hand to touch his chest, not knowing why, but upon realizing that Chi Gui’s skills weren’t so extraordinarily strong, he inexplicably felt relieved.
Chairman: …
He couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Luo Su, “Chairman, what’s the matter?”
The chairman, eyes fixed on Chi Gui, lancholically said, “It’s nothing, I’m just wondering if my charm really isn’t effective anymore.”
Chi Gui paused her hand, and another crack imdiately appeared on the ruby.
Luo Su expressionless, “Chairman, please be mindful of the occasion. Don’t scare others.”
Chairman, “Ah…”
Two hours later.
Chi Gui finally completed carving the gemstone, finishing it by embedding a diamond in the center diamond-shaped indent.
Indeed, it was Timothy’s representative masterpiece from last year, Angel’s Tears!
But the piece in Chi Gui’s hands was much rougher, and various mistakes and scratches were also present; it couldn’t compare at all to the original.
However, she was just a designer participating in the Association’s entrance evaluation, and the investigation team didn’t really compare her with a master like Timothy.
After comparing Chi Gui’s work with other works, the head of the investigation team stood up and announced, “In terms of skill and capability, Chi Gui is indeed slightly better than the others, Chairman, allowing her into the Association is a standard procedure.”
