Chapter 27 Chapter 27

There are at least eight hundred well-known clothing brands in North City, if not a thousand. Lan Qing can't even catch up.

SG’s marketing effect is good. It can get all kinds of labels such as Ziweixing, Dark Horse, etc. for clothing, and the water army pushes it to the front in one fell swoop.

SG gradually became known, but Lan Qing remained unknown.

However, Su Wanqing was not in a hurry. She was preparing for summer activities steadily.

Three designs were finalized: one set of casual wear, one set of fake two-piece dress, and one set of tube top miniskirt.

This skirt is not that complicated. The hem just goes above the knees, so it’s convenient to wear when going out and looks great in photos.

After deciding on these three sets, Su Wanqing always felt that something was missing. Sun Xiaoxiao's clothes were mostly luxury goods with high-end designs. Their Lan Qing has always focused on affordable prices, but in North City, if they want to make money, they can't give up luxury goods.

This is Su Wanqing's shortcoming. On the one hand, it is because she doesn't like it and doesn't study seriously. On the other hand, she is an ordinary person and has too little contact with the life of the upper class and her vision is not enough.

After traveling through the book, I understand a little, but not much.

Seeing that the deadline for the design draft was getting closer day by day, Su Wanqing had no other options, so she called Ji Yu to her office, explained the situation to her, and saw if she had any solutions.

Ji Yu said hi, "I thought it was something serious."

Ji Yu is just the opposite of her. She has a best friend in the entertainment industry who debuted as a child star and has now developed into a first-line star. The two have known each other since childhood. She walked the red carpet, took on endorsements, and came into contact with various fashion items. She benefited from her and learned a lot.

"Let me take care of the design."

It's like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Su Wanqing was happy to solve her problem, of course, "Then I'll trouble you."

"But..." Ji Yu said, "Since I accepted it, why don't I design it according to my best friend and let her be the spokesperson for us when the time comes."

Su Wanqing had heard of this star, who would appear on billboards from time to time. Thinking of her number of fans, Su Wanqing refused repeatedly, "No, I can't afford it. Our salary for the next quarter depends on these pictures."

If their grades aren't good, they'll be left with nothing.

"She dares to ask me for endorsement fees?" Ji Yu pouted, "It's free. If the company is good, I can be good too."

That’s not impossible. We’ll see about the endorsement when the time comes. There’s no rush to decide.

The biggest problem has been solved. For some reason, Sun Xiaoxiao's marketing seems to have stopped. There haven't been any internet trolls recently. If she can really invite that star, it might offset the impact of Sun Xiaoxiao's marketing.

Ji Yu had a strong execution ability and finished the first draft in less than three days. The two of them finalized the details and Ji Yu continued to improve it while she kept an eye on the other work.

One benefit of devoting herself to work is that she rarely thinks of Chu Mucheng, or rather, she is forcing herself not to think about Chu Mucheng.

The effect became more and more effective as time went by, but there was an aftereffect. Whenever she calmed down and thought about Chu Mucheng, the longing would double and almost devour her.

After that phone call, Chu Mucheng never called her again. He sent her a few messages, but the content was short and nothing special, which was in line with Chu Mucheng's usual style.

At night before the summer launch.

Su Wanqing lay on the bed, thinking about the next day's work schedule, like watching a movie.

There was no noise in the quiet bedroom, but for some reason, her heart was beating loudly, making her feel inexplicably nervous. Chu Mucheng hadn't sent her a message for a month. She opened her phone and looked at the dialog box between the two of them, reading through just a few sentences in a moment.

It should be morning there now. Do you want to send a message to ask?

I raised my hand and typed a few sentences, but then felt that they were not appropriate, so I deleted them and wrote them again. I was still not satisfied with them, so I deleted them again.

After a few times, she felt inexplicably angry. What was wrong with Chu Mucheng? He chatted for a few sentences but didn't finish the conversation. He just left her alone. What was his attitude?

After muttering to himself for a long time, he accidentally sent an emoticon package, an ordinary cat emoticon package. After sending it, Su Wanqing didn't think of withdrawing it.

After waiting for two minutes, there was still no response.

For some reason, although Chu Mucheng was a man of few words, he never failed to reply to her messages.

Su Wanqing felt that if she didn't hear from Chu Mucheng today, she would not be able to sleep. After realizing this idea, she sent a message to Xu Chengke.

Strangely, Xu Chengke didn't reply, so Su Wanqing called Xu Chengke directly.

On the other side, Xu Chengke saw the message that suddenly popped up on his phone. His heart skipped a beat and he held the phone in his hand, not knowing how to respond.

Su Wanqing usually wouldn't send follow-up messages if there was no reply. Xu Chengke was thinking about waiting, but the phone call came directly.

Xu Chengke had no choice but to answer the call, and with a bitter look on his face, he pressed the answer button, "Hello, Madam, why are you still awake so late?"

In his panic, he forgot to change the address, but Xu Chengke couldn't care less now.

"Where's Chu Muqing?"

"She's sleeping." Xu Chengke glanced at the boss who was still unconscious on the bed, and tried to make his tone more steady so that she wouldn't hear anything unusual.

"Then ask her to call me when she wakes up. Any time is fine."

Thinking about what the doctor said yesterday, Xu Chengke felt helpless. It would take at least a week for Chu Mucheng to wake up, so how could he call her back?

"Boss, she's been a bit busy lately. She worked all night yesterday and quietly carried out several businesses here. She may not have time to call you."

Su Wanqing was thinking, based on Chu Mucheng's personality, he would definitely not lie down abroad, which was also consistent with the fact that Chu Mucheng had not sent her any message for nearly a month.

Is she really going to develop abroad and never come back?

"Xu Zhu, is your work abroad very busy?"

“Somewhat.”

“Are you sure you want to develop there?”

"Not necessarily."

Xu Chengke was afraid that Su Wanqing would misunderstand. What if Su Wanqing misunderstood and thought that they were going to develop abroad and never return home, and then became disheartened, Chu Mucheng would skin him alive when she woke up.

There must be something wrong with Xu Chengke's hesitancy. It was Chu Mucheng who decided to develop a relationship outside, but he was embarrassed to tell her and kept trying to cover it up.

Or because of something else.

"Xu Zhu, you don't have to be like this. I don't have to pester your boss. If she doesn't want to contact me, then forget it. Just pretend that I never called you today. I wish you all the best in your new job."

After Su Wanqing finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

She had thought about the current situation before. Chu Mucheng should adjust his health and develop abroad, and it would have nothing to do with them anymore.

It’s just that Chu Mucheng sent her messages from time to time, and she thought Chu Mucheng didn’t think so, and would come back to Beicheng when she had the ability.

But now the result is obviously not the case.

When it comes to relationships, she never drags her feet. Since Chu Mucheng doesn't have that intention, she won't cling to him.

On the other side, Xu Chengke looked at the hung up phone, his mind full of thoughts: It's all over, it's all over. Why did these words sound like goodbye? No, no.

Before the operation, Chu Mucheng said that he would keep an eye on Su Wanqing's company and ask someone to resolve any issues. If there was really a misunderstanding, Xu Chengke's life would be in danger.

Without having time to think of any countermeasures, Xu Chengke simply called back.

Su Wanqing didn't intend to never contact her again. After all, Lan Qing was given to her by Chu Mucheng. Looking at Assistant Xu's phone call, she sighed lightly and answered the call.

"Xu Zhu, is there anything else?"

Good business tone.

"Madam, the boss just finished the operation and she hasn't woken up yet." Xu Chengke said, "Madam, don't be angry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. The boss warned me not to say anything."

Before the Chu family changed its owner, Su Wanqing rarely refused Chu Mucheng's temporary marking. After the two of them marked many times, Chu Mucheng's susceptible period was very stable, almost the same as a normal Alpha, so she didn't take it to heart.

Before Chu Mucheng went abroad, she asked Cheng Zhuo about her gland problem. Cheng Zhuo said that gland surgery abroad was more mature and her physical condition was not bad, so there would be no problem with the surgery.

She checked Baidu again and found that it was almost the same as what Cheng Zhuo said, so she never thought that there would be any problems with Chu Mucheng's health.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Su Wanqing was a little anxious.

"The boss didn't let me tell you. She just had the surgery last week." Xu Chengke felt aggrieved. He was worried about Chu Mucheng's health, and his mind was not working at all. His simple words could not fool Su Wanqing.

"Last week." Su Wanqing asked, "Why haven't you woken up yet?"

"The doctor said that her two glands were too fused together, and removing the glands would have a huge impact on her body. Since the surgery, she has only been awake for a few minutes every day."

“…”

"Send me your location." Su Wanqing began to search for flight information and booked the earliest one without hesitation. "I'll go there tomorrow."

"Madam, you can't come over. Isn't the company going to hold a press conference soon?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Su Wanqing hung up the phone directly. She had no idea what was going on through the phone. It would be better to fly over and take a look directly.

Su Wanqing was no longer sleepy. She threw off the quilt, got out of bed and started packing her luggage. She packed very quickly and finished packing the suitcase in half an hour. She climbed onto the bed and touched her cell phone.

Xu Chengke didn't say anything, but directly sent two messages, one was the name of the hospital in English, and the other was the coordinates he directly shared.

There was nothing else to do. Su Wanqing stared at the suitcase in the bedroom in a daze. Thinking of the press conference the next day, Su Wanqing edited a message to Ji Yu.

This was Ji Yu's first time participating, and Su Wanqing was worried that she didn't have enough experience, so she told Cheng Zhuo about the situation again. She knew that Cheng Zhuo would not ignore her.

After finishing all this, it was already two o'clock in the morning, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

I stayed up all night until dawn, then went downstairs with my suitcase and called a car to go to the airport.

Before boarding the plane, Su Wanqing sent a message to Xu Chengke, asking her to be careful.

After a thirteen-hour flight, we landed in Country M at seven o'clock in the evening. When we left the airport, we saw twinkling lights outside, which at first glance looked no different from the North City.

Su Wanqing didn't have time to look around and took a taxi directly to the hospital. She repeated the name of the hospital to the driver twice.

In the car, Su Wanqing took out her cell phone and sent it to Xu Chengke, first the location coordinates, and then the license plate number.

Chu Mucheng is now in the intensive care unit and does not need to be watched all the time, but Xu Chengke has nothing to do, so he waits outside and talks to Chu Mucheng for a few minutes when he is awake.

Calculating the driving time, Xu Chengke put on his coat and went to wait at the hospital entrance.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Xu Chengke looked at the license plate number and waved from a distance, then walked forward in small steps and helped her carry the suitcase.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Su Wanqing has become very different. Her appearance is not much different, but her temperament and a feeling that is hard to describe are different.

She looks mature, steady and reliable. Xu Chengke was a little surprised that she really works hard to manage Lan Qing.

"Ma'am, are you tired?"

"good."

"I've booked a hotel for you nearby. You can go there and rest if you're tired."

"Did she wake up today?"

"not yet."

The two went upstairs together, and Xu Chengke told her about Chu Mucheng's situation. Su Wanqing listened quietly and asked questions whenever she remembered.

The inpatient department is on the seventh floor. At seven o'clock in the evening, there were a lot of people in the elevator, mostly caregivers, coming and going for dinner.

The elevator had seven floors, stopping at each floor. Every second passed in agony. Su Wanqing stared at the rising number, counting every second.

The elevator opened and Xu Chengke led the way for her. It was a key ward, with one room per person. The space was very spacious. Xu Chengke put the suitcase behind the door.

There was a nurse in the room recording data, and Xu Chengke asked, "Did she wake up just now?"

Xu Chengke spoke in broken English, and the nurse frowned, then shook her head.

While the two were talking, Su Wanqing's eyes fell on the bed. Chu Mucheng was lying there with two tubes connected to her body. She had been unconscious and could only rely on liquids to supplement her nutrition.

The person hasn't changed much. He still lay there with a cold look on his face, as if nothing had to do with it. His face was a little pale, his cheeks were sunken, and he had lost a lot of weight.

"Are my pheromones useful? Aren't our pheromones highly compatible?"

Xu Chengke raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He had never thought about this at the beginning, and the doctor had never mentioned it. He just asked briefly about unmarried Omegas.

Xu Chengke: "I'll go ask the doctor."

Xu Chengke trotted out directly.

Su Wanqing moved her chair and sat next to Chu Mucheng. Not knowing whether the pheromones would work on her, Su Wanqing did not dare to release them rashly.

Control your own pheromones.

Chu Mucheng has been almost unconscious these past few days, and his memory is fragmented and he can't form a complete story.

She felt her body was light and after waking up she could talk a few words to Xu Chengke, then she felt sleepy. She couldn't resist the sleepiness at all and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.

That day, she was in a daze and actually smelled a hint of the scent of the camellia flower. It was Su Wanqing.

As soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Chu Mucheng. It seemed that she was really seriously ill. Su Wanqing was far away in North City, how could she smell her pheromones?

[Chu Muqing, wake up.] 】

This voice is so familiar. Not only does it have Su Wanqing's pheromones, but I can also hear her speaking.

【Chu Muqing…】

This voice...why does it sound so sad?

Chu Mucheng really wanted to sit up and tell her that she was fine and not to be sad.

But her limbs seemed to be cut off from the brain. She could not control her body at all, and even opening her eyes was very difficult.

In the early morning, Su Wanqing stayed up all night and took a flight for more than ten hours. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep near the hospital bed.

When Chu Mucheng woke up, she could only move her eyes. She looked at the person lying next to her, with long hair covering her eyes. It was not Xu Chengke.

Thinking about the intermittent dream last night, she thought about it several times in her mind, but still couldn't believe it, so she raised her hand and touched her hair.

Su Wanqing was a light sleeper to begin with, and when he touched her she sat up immediately, her eyes half asleep.

Su Wanqing looked at the hand in front of her, and slowly turned her gaze to the owner of the hand.

Their eyes met.
