Chapter 126: The disciple surpasses the master
So I made asymmetrical buttons on the neckline, one side is a grand straight button, and the other side is a small grape button, just like the two of them, with different personalities, but they can complement each other.
And the red isn’t that flashy red, it’s a darker wine red, which makes it look more calm and elegant.”
——This wave, this wave is the “Haute Couture Edition of My Parents’ Love Story”.
Lan Ting looked at the neatly arranged buttons on the design draft, and then listened to Su Nian's explanation, and suddenly she felt that these cold drawings came alive.
Behind every pattern and every color lies Su Nian’s observation and emotion, and this is the most touching aspect of the design.
This child, as the next generation leader of Chen's Garment Company, is likely to surpass his father and has unlimited potential!
"Su Nian," Lan Ting raised her head and spoke solemnly, "I personally think this traditional Chinese style series is excellent. Don't share the designs of this series with your clients. Please complete them as soon as possible. I want to show them to Mr. Chen. I hope it can become the core clothing of our Chen brand."
——The implication is: Your design deserves a “C position debut”!
When Su Nian heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Really? Thank you, Director Lan! I will definitely improve it!"
She tightened her grip on the design draft, her heart filled with joy - it turns out that putting the beauty of life into design can really be seen and recognized by others.
Inner thoughts: Sure enough, showing off your parents’ love and your husband’s home can earn you KPIs!
Lan Ting commented on other designs one by one and gave very professional suggestions, which benefited Su Nian a lot.
It is truly a pleasure to work with professionals and do professional things - commonly known as "the workplace happiness index is maxed out."
After coming out of Director Lan’s office, Su Nian just sat back at his workstation when his fingertips touched the missed call notification popping up on the phone screen - several calls, along with several text messages, all from his biological father Chen Ran.
"What's the emergency?" she muttered to herself.
Su Nian called back immediately, her tone still carrying a hint of excitement from having just been reviewed: "Dad, I just came out of the director's office, and Director Lan was discussing the design plan with me!"
Chen Ran's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Niannian, come home for dinner tonight. Your mother is already preparing it."
"Okay, is there something special?" Su Nian asked curiously.
"Your mother moved in with me, and today is our first family reunion dinner. Remember to tell Si Yan to come too."
After hanging up the phone with her father, Su Nian immediately called Si Yan: "Professor Si, come with me to my parents' house for dinner tonight."
"Hmm?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little confused, "Which parents?"
Su Nian couldn't help but laugh: "Your parents-in-law! I'll go with my dad, you can just go directly."
"Okay." Si Yan's voice immediately became bright.
"By the way, don't go to the wrong place. This is my first time going to my dad's house. I'll send you the location later." Su Nian suddenly remembered this.
In the evening, Su Nian sat in Chen Ran's car, and the father and daughter chatted casually.
"Niannian, are you satisfied with the house I picked for you last time?" Chen Ran suddenly brought this up.
"I haven't had time to see it yet." Su Nian replied.
"Your house is in the same complex as ours—Wanjing International. Take some time to go and look around with Si Yan. If you're satisfied, you can move in sooner rather than later. It's closer to us, so it'll be easier to take care of you." Chen Ran paused, then added, "By the way, the house I live in now has been transferred to your mother."
"Just make it up between you two. I won't get involved in your property transfer plan." Su Nian said with a smile.
"No, that won't do. These will all be yours from now on." Chen Ran's tone was filled with unquestionable seriousness. "If you like anything, go ahead and buy it. We're not short of money right now. I've also told your mom not to work so hard making clothes anymore. If you really like them, just do them as a hobby to pass the time. You've worked hard all your life, it's time to rest."
Listening to his father's words, Su Nian felt warm in his heart: "I fully agree with this, Dad, thank you."
After a pause, she couldn't help but share the good news from the day, "By the way, Dad, Director Lan even praised my design today!"
Chen Ran's voice was immediately filled with pride: "Of course, my daughter is already excellent!"
They arrived just as Si Yan did.
When Si Yan saw this large flat, he thought it was really nice and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - the environment of this community and the distance between buildings, it's no wonder that his father-in-law doesn't like his house.
It turns out that old ginger is wise, and my father-in-law’s house is bigger!
When the elevator door opened, I was greeted by the aroma of food.
Su Hong was wearing an apron and was standing at the entrance looking out. When she saw them come in, she immediately came over with a smile and said, "Finally you're here! The dishes are just about to be served."
She reached out and took the coat from Chen Ran, then called to Si Yan and Su Nian, "Come in quickly, I have new slippers for you. They are on the second shelf of the shoe cabinet."
——Even the slippers are couple’s styles. My mother-in-law has an amazing attention to detail.
After changing his shoes, Si Yan couldn't help but look around the living room - the high ceiling, the floor-to-ceiling windows with the dazzling city night view, the light grey sofa matched with the natural wood coffee table, it was as warm as the cover of a home magazine.
He secretly exchanged a glance with Su Nian, and both saw a look of "not bad" in each other's eyes.
——The two people’s inner thoughts: From now on, the environment for eating for free will be perfectly comfortable!
"Si Yan, Nian Nian, come and sit down." Chen Ran invited them to sit on the sofa. Su Hong brought two cups of hot drinks, "Freshly brewed red date tea."
"Thank you, Mom." Su Nian took the cup, took a sip, and her eyes lit up. "It tastes good."
Chen Ran looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Your mother has moved here to live, and this will be your home from now on. Your mother has specially cleaned up your room. If you don't want to go back to your own home in the future, you can live here. You are welcome to come here for meals often."
Si Yan put down the cup and looked at Chen Ran and Su Hong seriously: "Mom and Dad, thank you. You two should live a good life and don't worry about us all the time."
"Why worry? We're relieved when you're all well." Su Hong smiled and waved her hand, then turned and walked towards the kitchen. "I'll go get the last dish out and we'll get ready to eat."
The table was already filled with dishes that Su Nian and Si Yan loved to eat.
——This is not a home-cooked meal, this is clearly a practical lesson on “How to win the hearts of children with delicious food”!
Chen Ran took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured a glass for Si Yan, and poured himself half a glass: "I'm happy today, have a drink with me."
"Okay." Si Yan picked up his glass and clinked it with Chen Ran's. "Dad, I wish you and Mom a happy life in the future."
Su Nian looked at Si Yan and thought, this guy, with his chatterbox, is quite good at talking!
Si Yan: This is the first time I drink the wine poured by my father-in-law, I must be sensible!
"Thank you for your good wishes." Chen Ran took a sip of wine and the smile on his face became even more intense.
The meal was lively. Chen Ran and Si Yan talked about work and fishing, while Su Nian and Su Hong talked about fashion and TV series. The laughter in the room was louder than the comedies on TV.
After a few drinks, Chen Ran and Si Yan, who were slightly tipsy, started talking and were discussing enthusiastically where to go fishing next time.
Su Nian listened silently, thinking to herself: Fishing? I've never seen this guy mention it before? Could it be a new hobby he just discovered?
Or... is this a compulsory subject in the "crash course on gaining favorability with father-in-law"?
Si Yan agreed earnestly on the surface, but inwardly he was madly complaining: "I don't really want to go fishing! I'm just going to go wherever my father-in-law's topic leads me!"
Could I say, “Dad, I actually want to stay home and write my paper?” — My desire to survive made me fall in love with fishing instantly.
