Chapter 203: Cheng Hao’s choice!
Cheng Hao saw Su Mengxue appear in front of him in good health, holding a large bag of things in her hands. It was obvious that she had just returned from the supermarket.
It turned out that he was overthinking. He stopped where he was, sighed deeply, and scratched his head unnaturally: "Mengxue, you went to the supermarket, I thought you..."
Su Mengxue carried the things in her hand to the kitchen, squatted down, and put things in the refrigerator while saying, "Cheng Hao, are you afraid that I will commit suicide?"
Cheng Hao walked behind Su Mengxue and answered truthfully, "Yes, I was afraid something might happen to you, so I went to the property management and asked someone to pry the lock."
Su Mengxue paused, then looked at him and said calmly, "Don't worry, I will live a good life in the future and will never commit suicide again. Also, this is a smart door lock, which is expensive. Remember to compensate me with a new one."
Cheng Hao saw her current state and knew that she was serious. But he didn't expect her to come out so quickly.
His face was filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Mengxue say, "I had a very long dream last night. I dreamed of Gu Yunting and Zihao. They said that no matter where I am now, they hope that I can live well and that they will live well too, because as long as we are alive, we will meet again one day."
He could see that Su Mengxue's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy when she said this. The reason why she lived well was that she was looking forward to reuniting with the person she loved in that time and space.
He felt a little sad in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mood.
As long as she is willing to live a good life, stop giving up on herself, and stop seeking death, why should he care about who she is thinking about in her heart? Anyway, he knows in his heart that she can never go back.
He then curled his lips and smiled at her: "Then you must live well in the future and don't do stupid things again."
Su Mengxue stood up and looked at Cheng Hao. After hesitating for a few moments, she asked seriously, "Cheng Hao, do you still mean what you said before?"
Seeing Su Mengxue's tone, Cheng Hao blurted out, "What?"
"I want to make a comeback. Would you like to open a studio with me? If we make money in the future, we can split it 50-50."
Seeing that she had the idea of starting a business, Cheng Hao instantly felt that the Su Mengxue he knew before had returned. This was right. He smiled and said, "Of course I am willing."
He paused and added, "However, a 50-50 split is a great advantage for me. I know your strength, so a 30-70 split is fine."
Su Mengxue replied with a firm tone, "You've helped me so much, I have no way to repay you. Just split it 50-50 as I said, or this cooperation will be cancelled."
Seeing her say this, Cheng Hao quickly added, "Okay, okay, let's do as you said, fifty-fifty."
In fact, he didn't care how much money they could make from the partnership. He just wanted to support her in doing what she wanted to do, to watch her get back on her feet step by step, and then be tied to her.
Even if it is not an emotional bond, an economic bond is fine.
They quickly reached a consensus on cooperation. Su Mengxue even invited him to have dinner at her home for the first time and talked to him about some details of the cooperation and her ideas.
Su Mengxue has always been decisive and efficient in her work, and the studio that the two of them jointly opened was quickly prepared. This time they adopted an online + offline model.
Su Mengxue is not a professional in business management, so she left the promotion, publicity and recruitment matters to Cheng Hao, and she was only responsible for clothing design.
Because she has a unique taste in clothing design and has won many domestic and international design awards, her name itself is influential and persuasive.
Coupled with the inspiration she gained in the 1980s, their clothing brand "Yimeng" was immediately sought after by celebrities and people from all walks of life as soon as it was launched.
In just half a day, more than half of the main designs among the first 30 styles of their clothing that were launched online were shown to be "out of stock", and the comment sections of their brand's official account and marketing account were flooded with messages from netizens such as "I didn't get it" and "Please replenish stock".
Long queues formed as soon as the offline store opened. In less than two hours, all 5,000 items in their brand's entire series were sold out, and messages from customers urging orders kept popping up on the customer service computer background.
Not only that, various media have also exposed their brand, which has further increased their brand awareness.
In just half a month, the app they founded, "Yimeng", became completely popular.
In the studio late at night, the computer screen reflects Su Mengxue's focused profile. She is very busy every day, busy communicating with the design team about the details of the clothes, busy coordinating with the factory about the fabrics, following up on the production progress, and busy participating in various clothing competitions.
She was even sent to the hospital twice in half a year due to excessive overtime and staying up late. People in the industry have long known that she is a workaholic. Although they don't understand it, it is also within their expectations.
Only Su Mengxue knows herself best. The reason why she founded this clothing brand is that she wants to keep herself busy, because only in this way can she temporarily forget the concerns buried deep in her heart and live like a human being.
Time flies. Two years later, the most anticipated China Cup National Design Competition for fashion designers arrived as scheduled. Su Mengxue's work was also in the final selection, and she was the favorite to win the first prize.
In the end, she lived up to everyone's expectations and won the first prize of the competition. After she received the award and stepped down from the stage, all the flashes and microphones focused on her. Naturally, the media reporters would not miss this good opportunity and began to gossip and ask questions.
"After receiving such an important award, who would you most like to share this good news with?"
"Are you and Cheng Hao just partners? Is it possible for you to become lovers in the future?"
"Cheng Hao is such an outstanding and successful person. Is he waiting for you because he hasn't gotten married yet?"
"You're now of marriageable age. Do you have anyone you'd like to marry? Or do you insist on not getting married?"
………
"What was the inspiration for this dress? I noticed there's a heart print on the inside of the dress you designed, which is only visible to the wearer and close friends. What's your intended message?"
When Su Mengxue heard this, the smile on her lips froze, and her hands holding the trophy began to tremble.
After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and said with tears in her eyes:
"The inspiration for my work, including every line and every small design on the clothes, comes from love. I hope that every couple who truly loves each other, even if they are not by each other's side or separated by a sea of people, can eventually overcome all obstacles, hold on to each other tightly, and never separate again."
Cheng Hao was sitting on the sofa watching the live broadcast. He originally wanted to celebrate with Su Mengxue after she came back, but after hearing what Su Mengxue said, he lost his enthusiasm.
Then he concentrated on thinking for a long time, until night fell and until the sun rose again.
At ten o'clock in the morning, he stood up from the sofa, rubbed his sore eyes, and after thinking for a while, he sent a message to Su Mengxue.
[Mengxue, let's have dinner together at Junlin Hotel at 8pm. I have something to tell you.]
After sending the message, he picked up the suit jacket beside the sofa, quickly picked up the key at the entrance, and drove straight to the temple.
