The next morning, after having breakfast, Chen Xihua and Chen Xiaoliu went to Old Man Qin's house.

"Hello, Boss Wu! Congratulations on being the top scorer in the college entrance examination!"

Miao Huizhu, who had just arrived at the door, was both happy and a little guilty when she saw Chen Xihua and her brother.

It's like saying: I'm sorry.

"Hello, Xiao Liu."

Chen Xiaoliu politely replied, "Sister Huizhu."

"Hye-joo, thank you. Also, it wasn't your fault. You've learned your lesson, and you already apologized before."

Chen Xihua smiled and comforted her, saying that Sister Huizhu was still feeling guilty about what had happened and wanted to apologize whenever she saw her.

At that time, she returned to school from Shanghai and spent the last two days handling work handover. The design drawings she brought back were for Li Shisheng to pick up at the school.

The landscape painting by Miao Huizhu was something she brought to Old Man Qin's house at the end of May, on a long weekend when she returned to Gaoyang County.

When Old Man Qin finished reading, his eyes lit up with excitement. Since he hadn't yet met Miao Huizhu, he couldn't decide whether to take her as a student.

In June, Chen Xihua prepared for the college entrance examination; while Miao Huizhu was busy with graduation matters at school, so she didn't get to finish until early July.

The day after Chen Xihua returned home after the college entrance examination, she first called Miao Huizhu to explain things clearly.

"Sister Huizhu, I brought some of your traditional Chinese paintings to show my teacher, and he really liked them. He's a professor of calligraphy and painting, and he used to teach at a university in Southern Province..."

"Boss Xiao Wu, I'm willing, I'll go right away."

At this time, Miao Huizhu had already traveled from Haishi to Yunshi in Nan Province and had been officially working at the No. 2 Garment Factory for half a month.

That evening, she rushed over and met with Old Man Qin. The two got along very well and established a teacher-student relationship.

And so, Miao Huizhu moved into the Fanghua Garment Factory office in Gaoyang County.

During this time, her heartbreak has gradually subsided, and Miao Huizhu is eager to improve and refine herself.

Because prior to this, in early June, another incident occurred that caused Fanghua Company to lose three million.

Before Miao Huizhu showed her design drafts to Chen Xihua, Chen Yuanyuan, her childhood friend and fellow student who also got into the Academy of Fine Arts, had secretly seen them.

Chen Yuanyuan and Miao Huizhu's boyfriend Ye Chao betrayed Miao Huizhu together.

Following Miao Huizhu's design, they secretly drew new sketches and, within two days, registered a clothing design studio called "Ni Hua".

At that time, Chen Xihua was still on the train with the design drafts.

Two weeks later, 'Ni Hua' turned around and sued Fang Hua Company, claiming that Miao Huizhu, the intern designer they hired, had plagiarized their studio's design concept.

Although Chen Xihua also participated in the revision of the design drawings, the final product was very different from the original drawings, but there was still a 50% overlap.

Fanghua Company was still ordered not to produce or sell those two clothing items anymore.

Although this matter is not directly related to Fanghua Company, it was still a designer hired by Fanghua Company.

Moreover, Lihua Garment Factory had already been sewing clothes for a week, two sets of autumn clothes.

The two Lihua Garment Factories in Gaoyang County and the provincial capital produced a total of 20,000 garments, but their production was immediately halted.

Chen Xihua originally intended to destroy these clothes directly, but fabric is also a resource and cannot be wasted.

She instructed Factory Director Yang and Factory Director Zhang to publicize the origins of the clothing in a grand manner, and then donate it directly to impoverished and backward people in remote areas.

They can give it to the local villagers to wear directly, or disassemble it and alter it into other clothes, since the fabric is of very good quality.

At the time, Chen Xihua also said that he would fully support Miao Huizhu in collecting information and fighting a lawsuit against 'Ni Hua'.

However, Miao Huizhu suffered a double blow from her best friend's boyfriend's betrayal, which also caused Fanghua Company to lose so much money. She felt extremely guilty and regretful, and almost couldn't hold back her emotions.

The main issue is that only Chen Yuanyuan knew about the design drawings Miao Huizhu made. Chen Yuanyuan said that she herself started designing around that time.

Miao Huizhu didn't want Fanghua Company to be in trouble anymore. She said that she would find those two people herself and take revenge.

The Miao family was relatively well-off; both Miao's parents were educated and cultured university teachers, and the money the Miao family had saved could compensate Chen Xihua.

Of course, Chen Xihua wouldn't accept it, not because she was generous, but because she had her own reasons.

She was involved in revising the design, but she completely forgot that after finalizing the artwork, she didn't register the copyright immediately.

"Chen Xiaowu, are you guys acting as door gods at the gate? Why aren't you coming in?" Old Qin, who was inside, was getting impatient and started to berate people.

"Teacher, I knew you missed me too." Chen Xihua immediately smiled and walked into the living room.

She calmly approached Old Man Qin, who was pretending to read a book, and deliberately scrutinized him from head to toe for a while.

"Teacher, you look more and more energetic in just half a month. It seems you have new students and I, the old one, am being neglected."

"Hey, you know that much!" Old Qin wasn't angry at all; the corners of his mouth turned up, and his face was visibly smug.

He was indeed very satisfied with Miao Huizhu, a traditional Chinese painting student that Chen Xiaowu had found for him a little over a month ago.

Old Qin was quite content, and then looked at Chen Xihua with a touch of arrogance.

"Not bad, my college entrance exam results are barely acceptable, not too embarrassing for me."

"Yes, how could I dare to embarrass you?" Chen Xihua forced a humble expression, then suddenly remembered something.

"Teacher, I'm going to Peking University in September. Will you be going with me? My older sister has already had the courtyard house cleaned again, so it's ready to move in."

"Ah? No, no, I won't be going back to Beijing for now." Old Qin's expression suddenly became unnatural, and the evasiveness in his eyes was too obvious.

However, he realized he had overreacted, his eyes flickered, and he immediately gestured with his chin toward Chen Xiaoliu.

It's like saying: I also need to keep an eye on Chen Xiaoliu for you, to make sure he doesn't dare to play games anymore. If I find out, I'll break his legs for you.

Chen Xiaoliu subconsciously shrank his neck, his legs still feeling chilly: Teacher Qin is really something, he even knows he was wrong.

Furthermore, my fifth sister said that it's okay to explore and learn about computer games, toys, etc., but you have to learn to control yourself.

Old Qin's eyes darted around, then he turned to Miao Huizhu instead of looking at Chen Xiaoliu.

"Huizhu just came to learn traditional Chinese painting from me. If I go to Beijing, it will be very inconvenient."

Xiao Wu, don't you think so? I'll go again in a year or two.

And more importantly, you'll definitely be very busy in your first two years of college, where will you find the time to learn calligraphy from me?

Tsk tsk tsk, listen to this, Old Man Qin is blaming her. He knows very well how lame his excuse is.

However, Chen Xihua didn't expose him. She was genuinely curious about what Old Man Qin's family did.

"Alright, anyway, now, in your eyes, there's only Sister Huizhu as your student."

That's enough, Chen Xihua stopped asking and just waited for her to go to Beijing first and settle everything down.

She also wanted to learn more about the Qin family; she had a vague feeling that Old Man Qin might be a member of that family.

Two hours later, Chen Xihua and Chen Xiaoliu left first to go to Yangqing Hotel for dinner. "Teacher, Sister Huizhu, are you really not coming with us?"

"No, your Chen family can celebrate as you wish," Old Man Qin waved his hand dismissively.

He has come to understand the elders of the Chen family very well over the years, but he doesn't make any judgments.

There are no parents who are always wrong, and no matter what, he would never speak ill of Chen's parents in front of Chen Xiaowu and her brother.

Moreover, he also believed that Chen Xiaowu, that girl, could handle it well.
