Bai Liang, with a sour face, said, "Go get me a cup of coffee! Cold! No sugar! Hurry up!"
Seemingly embarrassed that his assistant had witnessed such a thing, Bai Liang hurriedly chased the person out. Seeing this, Song Lin didn't dare to linger and also rushed out.
"How could this be? Why don't they agree? There's no reason!"
Bai Liang was unwilling and left the office in a hurry. When Song Lin returned with the coffee, the office was empty and there was no one there.
Meanwhile, Bai Liang was sitting in the vice president's office.
He looked at the vice president in front of him with a fawning smile.
“Vice President, would you like to take another look? While China certainly has many outstanding designers, you can’t deny G’s abilities. Inviting him to China for exchange and learning will also benefit Chinese designers!”
Bai Liang leaned forward, clearly very concerned about the matter. Before the person opposite him could speak, he opened his mouth again.
"There's nothing wrong with doing this. May I ask why you refused my request?"
At this point, the vice president finally looked up, his somewhat weathered eyes staring straight at Bai Liang, a gaze that seemed to see through everything.
"Before you applied, our Chinese Design Association had already planned to invite G to China for a study visit. We did not refuse G's invitation to China."
Bai Liang was taken aback, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. "Then you..."
"What we reject is your idea."
As he spoke, the vice president pulled up his application and turned the screen to face Bai Liang. "What we are rejecting is the invitation to G to visit University A in your name."
Seeing that his little scheme had been exposed, Bai Liang felt a little embarrassed, but he still couldn't help but ask for the reason, just in case there was some luck involved.
"Vice President, why is that? In our guild, I'm the only one who teaches design at University A, and I think it wouldn't be a bad thing if those design students at University A could learn like this..."
The vice president chuckled, "We have to report G's visiting scholar process clearly and thoroughly. We have to be rigorous at every step. Even if he goes to University A, it's our decision. It can't be done in your name. G won't agree, and neither will we."
As he spoke, he put down the pen in his hand.
"Do you think G is some unknown little designer? The whole world is watching. G is a guest, and in the end, you're letting her go to University A with a personal invitation? Where does that leave the China Design Association? You can leave now. This is non-negotiable."
In the end, Bai Liang left the vice president's office. Although he looked somewhat unwilling, he ultimately couldn't say anything.
Seeing Bai Liang return with a dark expression, Song Lin didn't dare to say a word and just stood there.
As time passed and the sky outside gradually darkened, Qi Jiu finished her classes for the day. Back in her dormitory, Qi Jiu smiled as she looked at her two roommates huddled together watching TV.
"Didn't you guys say you wanted to try the desserts from this place? I brought you some desserts, they're on the table."
As the weather turned cooler, Chen Yueqiu and Gong Rui had changed into thicker pajamas and were now snuggled up on the bed, eating snacks and watching TV.
The two little ones stuck their heads out, showing off their big white teeth, and looked at Qi Jiu. "Thank you, Qi Qi."
"By the way, Qiqi, Ruirui and I bought pajamas for our dorm. I left yours on your desk. Go check if they fit. If they don't, you can exchange them."
The girl was taken aback, and sure enough, she saw a package on the table.
After a long while, Qi Jiu stared into the full-length mirror in the dormitory, lost in thought. Her expression was somewhat complicated, and she hesitated to speak.
Gong Rui lay on the bed, looked at herself in the mirror, and smiled. "I knew this outfit would suit Qiqi perfectly. The black cat design is mysterious and noble, making her look aloof, but it also makes Qiqi look cuter!"
Qi Jiu looked at the pinkish cat paws on her chest and the tail behind her onesie, and pursed her lips.
Yeah?
Do you like it?
Chen Yueqiu got out of bed at some point and came to Qi Jiu's side, silently helping her put on the slightly fluffy hood of her pajamas.
Looking at her pink and fluffy ears, my conflicted feelings eventually gave way, and I reached out my wicked hands to pinch them.
Qi Jiu watched his actions and pursed her lips. "...I like it."
Chen Yueqiu's actions hadn't stopped; in fact, she seemed somewhat addicted. "I absolutely have to give this store a good review! The feel is amazing! The quality of these pajamas is pretty good too!"
Gong Rui was also itching to join in, "I want to too!"
The final scene shows Qi Jiu sitting at a table, her hands deftly organizing experimental data on the keyboard, while Chen Yueqiu and Gong Rui reach out their claws, each grabbing a cat ear and patting the girl's head.
Qi Jiu: "..."
Sometimes when I'm alone in a dormitory, I really want to call the police.
Really, especially now.
After some time, their interest seemed to have waned, and they returned to their seats. Looking at the empty seats beside them, their faces fell.
"When is Ruoruo coming back? I haven't seen her in so long." Gong Rui rested her chin on her hands, her eyes looking at something unreadable.
Speaking of Leng Ruo, Chen Yueqiu nodded in agreement, "Has that girl run into some trouble? Since the start of the semester, she's been taking more days off than she's actually attending classes. Is something wrong?"
No one noticed that the girl's hands, which had been moving very nimbly on the keyboard, suddenly paused.
"Don't worry, I've been to the Leng family once. If something happens abroad, I might not be able to come back this semester, but I will be back later."
"The Leng family?" Gong Rui was taken aback by what Qi Jiu said, and then they all looked at the girl.
The Leng family doesn't seem to have a good reputation in the industry... I heard that the young master of the Leng family is a playboy who loves to have fun, and the Leng family is becoming more and more secretive, and I heard that the family is not harmonious.
Is it really good for Ruoruo to be born into such a family?
"Qiqi, is the Leng family the same as the rumors...? Is Ruoruo's personality related to the Leng family?"
Qi Jiu pursed her lips, turned to look at them, and smiled. "Don't worry, it's not as bad as the rumors say. Ruoruo's brother loves Ruoruo very much."
As for whether he is a playboy, that question cannot be answered, at least not now.
Upon receiving this answer, the two people on the other end breathed a sigh of relief.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the phone started vibrating on the table, making the table creak.
