Chapter 63 Campus Gossip
The application process for the school's independent internship was simpler than I thought. Following what Teacher Zhang had told me yesterday, I downloaded a form, filled it out according to the requirements, and then had the internship unit stamp it.
Su Nian's position at Chen's was a designer, not an intern. She planned to wait until she became familiar with Chen's work before deciding on this chapter. There was no rush anyway.
The next morning, Si Yan sent Su Nian to the gate of the Fashion Institute as usual and made an appointment to pick her up for lunch.
I made an appointment with Zhang Qiuyan to meet in the classroom. As Su Nian walked into the Fashion Institute in the morning light, she was still thinking about Zhang Qiuyan's rapid-fire gossip last night, her mouth almost grinning from ear to ear.
Speaking of the gossip from yesterday afternoon, it was even more addictive than milk tea.
Zhang Qiuyan's gossip was so loud it could heat the phone line: "You didn't see the scene when Li Yuan was recruiting interns!" She sighed on the other end of the line, "The requirements are as high as selecting astronauts. They need to be able to do 3D modeling, be able to independently produce garment drafts, and understand the fabric market. But when I asked about the salary, it wasn't even enough for subway fare!
At that time, someone directly asked, "Senior sister, are you just recruiting volunteers?" He Qian's face immediately became embarrassed.
Thinking about He Qian's harsh and harsh expression during the interview, I'm afraid that she has ruined the good image that Li Yuan has worked hard to maintain in the past few years.
The scene was so exciting at the beginning and so awkward later on, it was like a roller coaster - the kind with broken tracks.
Thinking of He Qian's empty-handed look when she left, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She probably won't come here again to pollute everyone's eyes.
What’s even more amazing is that Zhang Qiuyan actually ran into Zhou Xiaomeng’s financial sponsor yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon after school, the old man was actually waiting for her at the school gate with a bouquet of flowers. The scene was as grand as a proposal, but he looked... well, Su Nian stroked her chin and thought, maybe God took a nap when creating man, and understood the saying "concentration is the essence" too well. He is old, short, and a little "bloated", just like a walking glutinous rice dumpling.
"No wonder Zhou Xiaomeng looked at Si Yan with such a complicated look!" Zhang Qiuyan suddenly realized something and almost laughed out loud, "So he's seen 'pearls and jade before him', no, he's seen 'dumplings before him'! Judging from the look on his face, Zhou Xiaomeng might be after him because he has more money in his pocket than on his body, right?"
The funniest thing was that it was the peak time for school to be dismissed, and there were many people around. Zhou Xiaomeng's face changed faster than the face-changing in Sichuan Opera, red and white, and in the end she had to force a smile to accept the flowers. Her expression was like she had swallowed a fly and had to pretend it was honey.
What's even more terrible is that when getting in the car, the old man frivolously touched Zhou Xiaomeng's butt. Zhou Xiaomeng's shoulders obviously stiffened for a moment, but she didn't dare to dodge.
Oh my god! Su Nian secretly said "Yeah" in her heart when she heard it - this wave of onlookers was worth the price of admission!
Si Yan saw how happy Su Nian was. It turned out that this girl was so cute when listening to gossip.
When Su Nian arrived at the classroom, Zhang Qiuyan had already arrived.
"Niannian, here!" Zhang Qiuyan waved to Su Nian excitedly.
Yesterday’s gossip was so explosive that many students are still whispering about it.
The two chattered and replayed last night's gossip until the bell rang, then they sat up straight, covering their mouths and holding back their laughter.
No one knew that Liu Ying and Zhou Xiaomeng were hiding in the dormitory at the moment and did not dare to come to the classroom.
Speaking of which, Liu Ying was also implicated by Zhou Xiaomeng.
After what happened at the school gate last night, everyone in the school now knows that Zhou Xiaomeng is being "kept" by an old man. Even Liu Ying has been pointed at and talked about. She always feels like someone is watching her from behind when she walks on the street, as if she is involved in something shameful.
"Xiao Meng, you never told me before that your boyfriend was so...mature," Liu Ying said, feeling frustrated. "You kept telling me how capable and amazing he was, and I foolishly helped you brag about him. But then, what happened last night... so many people came to ask me about it, I don't know how to explain it!"
When Zhou Xiaomeng heard this, her face turned green, and she said in a very aggressive tone: "I'm telling you my story, why don't you just listen? Why are you running outside and yelling?"
"You've been telling me over and over again how good he is to you and how capable he is," Liu Ying said, her voice rising. "But he was so disrespectful to you yesterday..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Xiaomeng interrupted her hastily, a trace of panic flashing across her face, "That's not my boyfriend, he's my distant cousin, he just came to see me."
Liu Ying curled her lips. Who was she trying to fool?
She didn't believe it at all, but now that things had come to this, she could only follow Zhou Xiaomeng and keep up the lie.
She lowered her voice and muttered with a bit of confusion: "So what's the matter with cousin...touching your butt?"
Zhou Xiaomeng glared at her fiercely, her tone anxious and annoyed, with a bit of forced toughness: "What do you know? He's just like that, what can I do?"
Liu Ying couldn't help but want to get to the bottom of the gossip: "By the way, Xiao Meng, you keep saying you're living out here. Where exactly do you live?"
"What do you care!" Zhou Xiaomeng stood up suddenly like a cat whose tail was stepped on, grabbed the bag on the table and rushed out, slamming the door shut, shaking the posters on the wall.
Liu Ying thought, her reputation is ruined, yet she's still so arrogant! She'll have to stay away from her from now on.
This class was Professor Wang’s “National Culture and Creative Product Design”. Unexpectedly, Professor Wang brought some old items into the classroom, including the Manchu jacket buttons from the Qing Dynasty, which Su Nian was particularly interested in.
In addition to this course, Su Nian is also interested in other elective courses this semester, including "Performance Costume Design" and "Tie-Dye and Batik". She has to pay attention to the class schedule and thinks that she will come to school to attend classes if she has time in the future.
Since school started, Chen Ran has been going to Su Hong's tailor shop more frequently.
He first came to pick up the clothes because the last order was not finished. Unexpectedly, he came to order two more sets the next day.
Later, when he came, he would simply move a small stool and sit aside, watching Su Hong cut cloth and sew, and occasionally say a word.
Su Hong teased, "Brother, your clothes are all autumn clothes, and you don't even have time to wear them. Do you really need to come here so often to urge us to work?"
"Well, as long as you know what's going on."
Su Hong was thinking that Chen Ran's health was not good. He was alone in Jiangcheng and was probably afraid to face it alone.
So she no longer bullies Chen Ran like before. Meeting each other is fate, so she should try to be more tolerant.
Afen knew everything about Su Hong. The sisters of many years had already become family. She had only one wish, which was that Su Hong could truly open her heart, whether to Chen Ran or to others, and find someone who understood her and could live with her.
Amid the humming sound of the sewing machine, Su Hong looked up at the door. Chen Ran was squinting his eyes and holding an old magazine, flipping through it slowly.
