Su Nian, a third-year fashion design student, got drunk after a breakup and stumbled into a hotel room, having a one-night stand with a stranger. After sobering up, she fled in a panic, intending t...
Chapter 149 Team formation is successful
Su Nian was afraid that it would be too awkward for Fang Xia to handle the situation alone, and she was even more afraid of missing the opportunity to help Li Yue talk, so she cleared her throat and took the initiative to speak: "Liu... No, Teacher Zhihao, where are you from?" As soon as she said that, she realized that she was still embarrassed to call out the name directly, and she secretly stuck out her tongue.
Liu Zhihao didn't care and replied with a smile: "I'm from Jiangcheng. I studied in France before and worked there for five years after graduation. My parents have not been in good health recently, and I was worried about them, so I came back." He spoke frankly, without any concealment.
——With a background of returning overseas and a filial piety, this configuration is simply perfect.
Fang Xia's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this. She took the opportunity to find a topic to talk about, not feeling embarrassed at all: "Oh, that's a coincidence! Su Nian's husband is a very famous Chinese medicine doctor. His family runs a Chinese medicine clinic. If uncle and aunt need treatment, they can go there to see a doctor!"
This sounded like an advertisement, but she was not afraid at all - for Li Yue's lifelong event, this little embarrassment was nothing.
A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Zhihao's eyes, and he immediately looked at Su Nian: "Really? Thank you Fang Xia for reminding me. When I have time later, I will definitely bring my parents over for consultation."
Although this wave of assistance only temporarily brought Liu Zhihao and them closer, it also gave Su Nian's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic a potential VIP customer. Fang, the marketing genius Xia, is now online.
Next, they added each other on WeChat - this assist moved things forward a little bit.
During the meal, the atmosphere, which was originally a bit unfamiliar, became completely warm.
Liu Zhihao did not have the airs of a returnee. He spoke gently and down-to-earth, and before he knew it, he became friends with them.
Fang Xia secretly observed Li Yue and saw that although she didn't say much, she was always involved and the smile in her eyes could not be hidden. Liu Zhihao did not ignore any of them.
Fang Xia was secretly happy: Great, the little flame of love is ready to ignite, and I am the one who hands over the lighter!
After dinner, Su Nian took advantage of the time when his companions returned their plates to quickly glance at his phone. There was a text message from his father, which simply said, "Come to the rooftop after dinner."
After delivering the food trays, the group was walking out when they suddenly heard footsteps behind them.
Su Nian turned around and saw Wen Xiaoqiao and Li Ruoyi. They ignored them and tacitly played the "we are not familiar.jpg" game.
When they reached the lobby on the first floor, Fang Xia suggested taking a walk to help digest the food as usual, but she turned to Liu Zhihao and said, "Zhihao, we need to go for a walk to help digest the food. You go up first."
She knew what was going on. She had just noticed that Liu Zhihao was clearly impatient with those two people.
Su Nian originally planned to go upstairs directly, but seeing this, he followed Fang Xia and Li Yue out.
"Wait, let me go for a walk with you too." Liu Zhihao responded immediately. At the moment, he just wanted to get rid of Wen Xiaoqiao and Li Ruoyi as soon as possible.
Watching the backs of the few people walking away, Wen Xiaoqiao and Li Ruoyi were filled with anger, but they didn't want to follow them, so they had to turn around and walk towards the elevator silently, with the words "it was a wrong choice after all" written all over their backs.
After walking a few steps, Liu Zhihao suddenly stopped in front of the dessert shop: "Ladies, would you like some dessert?"
These people are the kind of people who can't walk when they see desserts, so naturally they won't refuse, and their eyes are instantly locked on the cupboard.
Liu Zhihao warmly invited them to choose whatever they wanted, and even bent down to ask Su Nian: "Can you eat sweets? Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Su Nian stared at the Matcha Melaleuca in the cupboard, her heart fluttering, but her mind was still struggling: "Uh, actually..."
Fang Xia's hands were as fast as lightning. "Pah" she stuffed a box of low-sugar osmanthus cake into her hand and said, "Pregnant woman, just taste it, just for your consideration. The rest is up to your willpower... Oh no, just leave it to us!"
Well, this wave of digestion exercise really helped me get rid of my loneliness!
A few of them returned to the design department carrying desserts. Su Nian whispered in Li Yue's ear: "I'm going to slip away first. My dad is calling you." After that, he slipped to the top floor.
In Chen Ran's office on the top floor, he saw his daughter walk in. He took out a paper bag from the cabinet next to him and handed it to Su Nian. Inside was a thermos bucket. "This is the bird's nest that your mother stewed this morning."
"Dad—you asked me to come up here just for this?" Su Nian blinked, "I thought there was some wealthy family secret you wanted to tell me in private."
"I still want to see my daughter." Chen Ran looked like a daughter slave.
Su Nian smiled when he heard that, then slowly turned around, "Your daughter has no figure now, she's really not that good looking. Are you...ok with this? I have to go down."
Chen Ran smiled and shook his head, pointing to the sofa in the lounge area next to him. "Such a chatterbox! Why are you in such a hurry? Sit down for a while before leaving. Did you have dinner with those young people today?"
Su Nian couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth: "Yes, Fang Xia asked Li Yue and me, and the new teacher Zhihao to join us to eat. He is a designer who returned from overseas. He is very gentle and filial. He came back from France specifically to take care of his parents." The tone of her voice carried the background sound of thumbs-up.
"Well, you will be in the same group with him in the future. Be humble and learn more from him." Chen Ran said to his daughter seriously.
What is going on?
Chen Ran looked at his daughter's puzzled eyes, but he didn't intend to spoil the story in advance. "Director Lan will talk to you this afternoon."
Su Nian returned to the design department carrying the paper bag, and her inner barrage of comments filled the screen: My dad's plot foreshadowing is even more suspenseful than that of a TV drama.
Sure enough, as soon as I got to work in the afternoon, I was summoned by Director Lan.
When Su Nian heard about the French project and that she was actually going to form a new design team with Liu Zhihao, she wondered how such a good thing could happen! She was already going off fireworks in her heart: What kind of shitty luck is this?
He immediately expressed his determination like a chick pecking at rice, thanking Director Lan for giving him the opportunity and promising to work hard under the leadership of Teacher Zhihao. His attitude was as sincere as if he was speaking as a representative of the freshmen.
Lan Ting was very pleased to see that this young lady was humble and a studious student. She handed her a stack of information and told her to go back and start planning the clothing design that the other party requested.
The little girl came out of the director's office excitedly. Li Yue, the sister, had found someone she liked in this office, and now her gossipy heart had subsided: she didn't even come over immediately! As expected, when faced with beauty, best friends step aside.
Su Nian sat down at her workstation, pulled out her phone, and found the WeChat account of Liu Zhihao she had added at noon. She sent him a message: "Teacher Zhihao, please give me more guidance in the future! Happy working together!" #twoflowersemoticons#
The moment I clicked send, I felt like I had sent an invitation to the highlight of my life.
She couldn't help but look at Liu Zhihao's workstation. After he finished looking at his phone, he looked up at her. Their eyes met and Liu Zhihao smiled and nodded.
There seemed to be a "ding" sound in the air - the team was successfully formed!
