Xu Yaxin was the most active among these designers. She had only just come on stage when she rushed to Xu Xinchen's side and asked her a question with a nervous expression.

"Ms. Lu, we had already arranged to attend a dinner party today, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Xu Xinchen nodded calmly and began packing her things. She wouldn't easily forget what she had promised others, especially since it was something that would benefit her future career, so she was even less likely to forget it.

When Xu Yaxin saw Xu Xinchen nod, the tension in her heart finally eased. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and a strange light flashed in her eyes: "That's great, I'm glad you haven't forgotten."

Xu Xinchen was busy packing her things and didn't see the malicious glint in Xu Yaxin's eyes. She quickly finished packing.

He then picked up the bag, stood in front of Xu Yaxin, and asked, "I'm all packed. Where are we going next?"

Xu Xinchen knew that Xu Yaxin was likely playing a leading role at this gathering, so asking Xu Yaxin was definitely the right thing to do.

As expected, Xu Xinchen nodded very quickly to Xu Xinchen, and then led Xu Xinchen outside: "People here don't like private, enclosed spaces, so the entertainment methods we used to have in China aren't very popular here."

Xu Xinchen listened silently. What Xu Yaxin said was indeed true; the people here really didn't like enclosed spaces. "So what's the main purpose of our gathering this time?"

Xu Yaxin's eyes revealed a hint of a smile: "We simply decided to hold this gathering at a designer's house, mainly for barbecue. This designer was originally a citizen of our country, but his whole family immigrated here a few years ago, so holding it there makes us, the designers from our own country, feel more at ease. The other designers also had no objections."

At this point, Xu Yaxin even turned her head to look at Xu Xinchen with feigned concern: "Ms. Lu, since we made the arrangements a long time ago, we didn't ask for your opinion when we approached you before. Please don't mind."

Xu Xinchen shook her head calmly. She didn't think there was anything to mind. It was just a party, and there was no need to be so fussy.

But just as she was about to step out of the venue, Xu Xinchen turned back to look at Lem: "Mr. Lem, could you please tell my boyfriend that I'm going to this address? Please tell him to come pick me up if I don't get back by then."

Lem took the piece of paper from Xu Xinchen and nodded to her, "I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely get this to your boyfriend."

Xu Xinchen gave a grateful smile. The country's security has always been a concern for foreigners, and Xu Xinchen is no exception.

Even in the era when Xu Xinchen lived, public security in the West was always a problem, which is why Xu Xinchen made a point of writing down the address just in case.

As expected, Lem did not disappoint Xu Xinchen. After watching Xu Xinchen and Xu Yaxin leave, he immediately went to the hotel that Xu Xinchen had mentioned to look for Chen Ningsheng.

When Lem found Chen Ningsheng, he was studying a new contract in the hotel. He was slightly surprised when he took the note that Lem handed him.

After looking at it, Chen Ningsheng asked Lem, "Did Min Shi ask you to give this to me?"

Lem nodded and replied in broken Chinese, "Yes... Miss Lu..."

Because he doesn't speak Chinese very often, Lem's Chinese is broken and indistinct.

Chen Ningsheng reached out and fiddled with the note in his hand, saying in a calm tone, "It's okay, you can speak English, I can understand it."

Lem visibly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rattled off a string of words in English: “She went to a designers’ party. Tell you to pick her up at this address if she doesn’t come back by late.”

Chen Ningsheng nodded slightly, said thank you to Lem in a calm tone, then ignored the curious expression on Lem's face, turned around and went back into the house, picked up his suit jacket and went outside.

Lem had only just left Chen Ningsheng's room when he saw Chen Ningsheng catching up. Feeling a bit strange, he walked up to Chen Ningsheng and asked.

"Are you going to go find her now? But she just went to a party, it shouldn't be over so soon, why don't you wait a little longer?"

Chen Ningsheng was originally quite anxious to bring Xu Xinchen back, but after hearing what Lem said, he immediately realized that what he was doing was indeed inappropriate.

Xu Xinchen has finally found something she enjoys and is doing it seriously. Now that she has found it...

If it's an opportunity to connect with like-minded people, then perhaps he can go later and give her a chance to have a proper chat.

Thinking of this, Chen Ningsheng slowed down, turned his head to look at Lem walking beside him, and began to talk to Lem casually.

Although Lyme grew up in a wealthy family, his simple family dynamics and his parents' strong desire for control meant that everything was arranged for him from childhood, which made him somewhat naive.

Lyme would never presume malice in the motives of those who did not show their worst side to him.

Therefore, when Chen Ningsheng struck up a conversation with him, he didn't realize that Chen Ningsheng was subtly inquiring about their design competition.

He also enthusiastically shared many interesting stories about the design competition venue. The two hit it off immediately, and Lem decided not to rush home for dinner. Instead, he went with Chen Ningsheng to the restaurant of the hotel where they were staying.

Chen Ningsheng originally wanted to find out how Xu Xinchen had spent the whole day at the competition venue, but now that Lem had come to him on his own initiative.

So naturally, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. In this way, with one person being interested and the other being naive, the two of them reached a strange consensus.
