Luo Chenxi instantly choked. “Cough, cough!”
“Chief Sheng, you’re seriously overthinking this. I just… Said it on a whim at the time. You mustn’t take it seriously!”
Sheng Yu looked at her slightly flustered little face and pursed his lips.
‘I almost blurted it out and asked her if the man with a good figure and good looks was the man who hung up on me that night. Also, he even swore his sovereignty on WeChat.
‘But, I ended up stopping myself after having second thoughts.
‘I don’t want to scare her away.’
“I was just joking as well, relax. Right, allow me to give you a toast. Congratulations on having your designs appear on the cover page of TREND and even receiving a lot of praises because of it!”
Sheng Yu personally poured two glasses of red wine.
Luo Chenxi raised her glass and clinked it with his.
“I should be the one toasting to you! If you didn’t help me so much, I wouldn’t have achieved what I did today.”
After that, the two of them started to eat.
When they were almost done eating, Sheng Yu suddenly said, “Xing Chen, have you thought about what your next step is going to be?”
“My next step?”
Luo Chenxi put down her knife and fork as she looked up at him.
Sheng Yu nodded. “That’s right. You’ve won the first prize in the Huafeng Competition and you’ve also been on the cover page of TREND. For a rookie designer, you’ve got a very good head start. Now that you’ve become somewhat famous in the fashion industry, you should take this opportunity to try and develop yourself further. Have you considered this before?”
Hearing him mention this matter, Luo Chenxi became serious.
“I have indeed thought about it. My first choice is to build up my personal brand, of course. But, I’ve calculated that opening an independent store with a million yuan as my capital isn’t going to be enough. So, I haven’t thought about how I’m going to receive a sponsorship of this amount yet.”
Sheng Yu was a little surprised. “What’s the matter? Don’t you have enough funds to open up a store?”
Luo Chenxi nodded. “Yes, someone in my family is sick and the medical expenses incurred is very high. So, I still need to save this money rather than spending it all.”
Sheng Yu frowned slightly and felt that something was even stranger.
‘The other day, I clearly saw her walking into the most luxurious villa district in T City.
‘So, she should be from a family background with pretty good conditions.
‘Even if the wealthy person is just the man behind her, he’s already allowed her to live together with him as her boyfriend. So, could he actually be unwilling to take out a small amount of money to support Xing Chen’s career?
‘Did she find this man from the trash can?’
Sheng Yu looked at Luo Chenxi with a hint of pity.
“In that case… Are you willing to work for SL Corporation?”
Luo Chenxi blinked. “Chief Sheng, are you extending that offer to me right now?”
“You can say so.”
“But I heard that SL Corporation has a very high recruitment threshold. Only those who have graduated from more than one school can get in.”
Sheng Yu smiled. “That applies for ordinary freshmen. Now that you have enough qualifications, you’re more than qualified to join SL Corporation. Moreover, I can directly appoint you as a senior designer to be in charge of a new series. How about it? Are you interested?”
Luo Chenxi was very tempted when she heard that.
Such an opportunity was definitely a dream for a newly graduated designer!
However, she thought for a moment and said, “Chief Sheng, I’ll need some time to consider this.”
‘I’ll be able to learn a lot of things if I’m in a big company, but I won’t be able to have as much freedom when I do my designs since I would be subjected to a lot of restrictions.
‘This won’t be suitable match for my personality.’
However, Sheng Yu did not try to persuade her anymore and merely looked at her deeply.
“Alright then, give me a call anytime after you’ve decided then.”
…
Luo Chenxi’s passion for work was ignited once again.
For a few days in a row, she was engrossed in drawing drafts and had even bought a new drawing board.
The apartment was very empty anyway, plus she was the only one living in it. Hence, she could decorate it as she pleased.
‘This new apartment is very comfortable, but it’s a little empty.
‘During the day, the little dumpling won’t be following behind me, calling me Big Sister with her soft and pleasant voice.
‘During the night, he’s not…
‘Pui pui pui!
‘Sleeping on a huge bed alone at night is simply exhilarating!’
…
In the morning at the Mu Family’s Villa, the little dumpling was sitting at the dining table, holding a fork in her hand as she looked around.
Tan Yueru looked at her chubby little face and said, “Tang Tang, why aren’t you eating? This is your favorite strawberry pudding.”
The little dumpling pouted and her little face fell.
“Grandma, why isn’t Big Sister back yet? Does she not want Tang Tang anymore?”
