The next day Tang Xi spent the day in school as usual. Afterwards she went to see Qiao Yuxin and then went to the airport. When she arrived at the airport, Chu Ling and the others were already waiting for her. Tang Xi quickly walked up to them, saying, “Sorry, I’m late.”
Li Manyan had learnt from the news that Tang Xi was still in school. She really admired her, so she said, “It’s alright, President Xiao, we’ve just got here. The check-in procedures have been done. This is your boarding pass.”
Tang Xi took the boarding pass, took a look at it and said in appreciation, “Thank you. Time’s up. Let’s go through security.”
“No.” Chu Ling suddenly said to her, “Get a refund for the tickets. Someone has prepared an airplane for you. On the plane, give free rein to your imagination and design a set of clothes with the theme of freedom.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, when Xiao Jing hurriedly came up to her, saying, “Rourou, didn’t I tell you I was going to France with you? Why didn’t you wait for me? I went to your school only to find you had already come to the airport.”
Tang Xi looked at Xiao Jing and her eyes had a gleam of surprise as she said, “Jing, I’m not a kid. I can handle my own business. And… I…” Then she suddenly saw Qiao Liang walking towards her. She stared wide-eyed, and hurriedly went up to him, asking, “What are you doing here? Don’t you have to deal with your own company’s affairs?”
“I will be worried about you if you go to France alone, and…” Qiao Liang took a deep glance at Tang Xi and smiled as he said, “The Qiao’s International Group also has a show in the Fashion Week, so I must go there.”
“And me.” At this time, Lu Li appeared from behind Qiao Liang and said, “Our jobs have almost been completed. Since this is your first show, I think I should go watch it. After all, I’m somebody in the fashion industry.”
Although Tang Xi’s company’s name was The Queen, it also designed men’s wear.
Tang Xi was much flattered. Lu Li said, “I wondered why Qiao Liang’s fashion taste is improving now. Now I know the reason. His clothes are designed by you. So may I ask The Queen to design all of my future clothes if your show is successful in this fashion week?”
“Sure, thanks for your patronage.” Tang Xi was very happy to hear his words and said gratefully. Chu Ling watched the two of them and took a step forward, asking grumpily, “Are you going or not?”
The plane is going to take off. Let’s go.” In his usual gentlemanly manner, Lu Li gestured Tang Xi to start moving. Tang Xi took Qiao Liang’s arm and walked towards the airport security. Someone else will handle the refunding procedures for her.
On the way to the plane, Lu Li had been looking at Jin Han. The latter noticed it and frowned before looking back at Jin Han, asking coldly, “Hey, what’s up?”
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a smile. “Nothing.”
Jin Han took a glance Lu Li, and took Li Manyan to the departure gate. Walking ahead of Jin Han and Li Manyan, Tang Xi heard their conversation. She looked back at Jin Han and Li Manyan, and continued to walk ahead. Tang Xi had her own private airplane and had taken Qiao Liang’s private airplane, but to her surprise, this plane was so big, in which there was almost everything. Besides bedrooms, there were even several meeting rooms. Tang Xi took a surprised look at Qiao Liang, and the latter looked back at Lu Li. Lu Li walked up with a smile, and asked Tang Xi, “Do you like the airplane? Miss. Xiao, are you satisfied with what you see?”
Tang Xi shook her head in shock, exclaiming, “God, this… Brother Lu, is this plane… the only one in the world?”
“Yes, this model isn’t for sale yet, although it had been put into production two years ago. Only the management of our group can use this model of airplanes.”
Tang Xi smiled, and Lu Li covered his mouth and whispered to Tang Xi, “Your boyfriend also has one. He just doesn’t want to use it.”
Tang Xi smiled. Seeing this, Jin Han was surprised. He felt this man looked familiar to him, but he couldn’t recall who he was. This man seemed to be very rich… But why did he look at him with that look?”
An idea suddenly popped up in Tang Xi’s mind on the plane. She designed a leather jacket, decorated with some rivets. The one who wore it would look energetic and confident. Then she designed a pair of jeans, adopting an irregular design. The set of clothes looked special and attractive. Tang Xi put the pen on the table, and showed the design drawing to Lu Li, asking, “What do you think of this?”
Lu Li took a look at the design drawing, and looked deeply at Qiao Liang, saying, “Hey, your girlfriend is really talented in design. I can’t believe a random design of hers can be so great. Although the two colors don’t match… or to be exact, we usually don’t put the two colors together… they look so harmonious in her designs!”
Tang Xi was relieved to hear his words, and she said, “Okay, then let’s make five sets of these clothes first. Launch them to market as limited edition.”
Chu Ling had been frowning when he watched Tang Xi drawing. Now seeing her finished works, he suddenly asked, “Are you still in the mood to design?”
Tang Xi didn’t understand what he meant. She looked at him in surprise and blinked. “Hum?”
“I mean can you design more men’s wear?” Chu Ling took the design drawing from Lu Li’s hand, saying, “It seemed that you’re more talented at designing men’s wear. The men’s clothes you designed are better than the women’s wear you designed. They seem to have soul!”
Tang Xi felt like walking on air being praised by Chu Ling. She couldn’t believe one day Chu Ling would praise her works like this!
“Yes, I’m in the right mood to design. Give me some time.” Tang Xi said, “If you think the men’s wear I design is okay. May I add them into the collection of our show?”
“Sure. I’ll be your model.” Chu Ling looked seriously at Tang Xi,saying, “The men’s wear you design is indispensable to the show, if we want to make a hit.”
“Okay!” Tang Xi said happily, “How much time will I have?”
“It will take eight hours from City A to Paris. Is eight hours enough for you?
