On the bus
"Luo Luo, are you free tonight? There's something I need to discuss with you. Come to Youlan, Yueyue and I will be waiting for you in the private room."
"Okay, I just finished eating and was about to go home. How about we head over now?"
"OK!"
"Ayan, I won't go home first. Will you take me to Youlan?"
"Youlan?" What's this girl doing here?
"Feifei and Yueyue invited me to meet them there to discuss something."
“Okay.” Lan Jingyan immediately turned around and drove in another direction. It turned out that the two girls were looking for Luo Luo.
Twenty minutes later, the azure sky appeared.
"Mr. Lan, what brings you here today?"
When Manager Yang Zhiyao of Youlan saw Lan Jingyan arrive, he hurriedly came over to greet her, after all, this was his boss!
"What? Can't I come?"
"No, no, this is all yours. You can come whenever you want."
"Miss Lin, you've come too?" Yang Zhiyao looked at Yan Xiluo.
No way, Mr. Lan and Miss Lin came together? Could it be... hehe, it's not impossible, they're a perfect match.
"Yes, you can call me Miss Yan from now on. I've changed my surname."
Yan Xiluo did not intend to hide the fact that she had returned to the Yan family.
"Okay, Miss Yan."
Could it be the Yan family, with the surname Yan?! Doesn't the Yan family only have one daughter?
Miss Lin? Luo Luo used to be surnamed Lin, but even Yang Zhiyao remembers her, so Luo Luo must have come here quite often before.
"Manager Yang, please give Miss Yan one of our Azure Black Gold Cards."
Wow! President Lan must have a thing for Miss Yan, otherwise why would he give her a Black Gold Card! With a Black Gold Card, all expenses at Youlan are free. So far, he's only given one to Miss An, but she's President Lan's cousin, so it's normal for him to give her one.
Yang Zhiyao looked at Lan Jingyan with a gossipy expression. "Hehe, okay, I'll go and get it done for Miss Yan right away."
Lan Jingyan originally wanted to say that there would be no charge for seeing Yan Xiluo, but Yang Zhiyao wasn't always there, and the staff on duty were different every day. In order to ensure that Yan Xiluo wouldn't have to pay any money, she gave her a black gold card.
“Ah Yan, you don’t actually need to give me a card. I always come with Fei Fei and Yue Yue. Yue Yue has a black gold card.”
"My fiancée, you don't need to spend any money at our store. Whoever you bring, just swipe your card!"
"All right."
"Miss Yan, the card is ready." Yang Zhiyao handed the card to Yan Xiluo with both hands.
Yan Xiluo took the card. "Okay, thank you."
"Well... Ah Yan, I'll go up to the private room to find them first? Drive carefully on your way back!"
Luo Luo is starting to care about me? Lan Jingyan was secretly delighted.
"Since you're already here, I've come to see how Blue's sales are this month. I'll take you back after you're done."
Lan Jingyan made up an excuse to stay, just so he could spend more time with Yan Xiluo.
"Okay, I'll go up first."
"Okay, go ahead."
VIP Box
"Luo Luo, you're finally here!" Li Mufei rushed over happily and hugged Yan Xiluo.
"Let go of your claws, they're squeezing me a little too tight, cough cough."
"Oh, okay, haha." Li Mufei laughed awkwardly, realizing she had probably used a bit too much force.
An Xinyue shook her head with a smile, her eyes full of doting affection for Li Mufei.
"Why did you call me here?"
Yan Xiluo wanted to finish the conversation quickly so she could go to the lab to study Grandma Lan's medicine, since she had other things to deal with tomorrow.
"Here's the thing, today Xinxin received an invitation to a fashion design competition in Country F. They hope that designers from our design department can participate. The winning designs will not only be able to participate in a fashion show, but also receive a large cash prize. What do you think? Should we participate?"
An Xinyue told Yan Xiluo about the news from that afternoon.
"Why not participate? Winning an award means being able to participate in a fashion show, which can boost the designer's profile and benefit our company. I've worked so hard to train them, isn't it all to help them achieve results? Giving them a chance to shine is a good opportunity for me to see the results."
"That's true. Putting you aside, I think they really want to participate. This is a great opportunity for them to develop."
An Xinyue agreed. Although she didn't know much about design, she knew that every piece of work was the result of the designer's hard work.
"So, who do you plan to send to the competition? Or all of them?"
Li Mufei was curious, after all, the company had quite a few designers, if not many, and they were all quite capable.
"Participation is voluntary, not mandatory. We'll issue a notice tomorrow, and registration will close in three days. Give them three days to consider."
Yan Xiluo knew the importance of this level of fashion design competition for a fashion designer, and that such opportunities weren't always available. To become a renowned chief designer, not only did one need outstanding work, but one also needed to win competitions to gain wider recognition and increase their visibility.
Even if they don't win an award, their abilities can still be honed and improved, since many well-known designers in the industry will serve as judges, pointing out their shortcomings and giving them advice.
"Okay, then I'll have Xinxin issue the announcement tomorrow."
"Ms. Li, you have your own assistant, why do you keep exploiting my Xin Xin?!"
"Ms. Yan, you haven't forgotten that my assistant resigned more than half a month ago, have you?"
More than half a month? That long?
"Then why haven't you hired an assistant yet? And Yueyue too, your assistant has been on leave for a week, hasn't she? When is she coming back?!"
Yan Xiluo was dissatisfied. Whose assistant was Zhang Xinxin anyway?! Ever since these two people didn't have assistants, they've been exploiting her assistant. Luckily, Xinxin is capable and can handle the workload.
"Tomorrow! I'll hire an assistant tomorrow. I've been looking before, but I just haven't found a suitable one."
"I guess I'll have to hire an assistant too. Today my assistant said her mother is seriously ill and she needs to resign and go back to find a new job so she can take care of her mother."
Sigh~ I feel sorry for Xin Xin for three seconds. She'll have to keep being exploited until these two find assistants.
"I don't care, you have to compensate Xinxin. Give her triple her salary this month."
Yan Xiluo felt sorry for Zhang Xinxin. After all, Zhang Xinxin had been with Yan Xiluo for many years. When Zhang Xinxin was at her lowest and most desperate, it was Yan Xiluo who pulled her out of her predicament. That's why Zhang Xinxin has always stayed with her.
"Okay, okay! Absolutely! Look how worried you are."
Li Mufei and An Xinyue also knew about Zhang Xinxin's story.
"Then it's settled. We'll issue a notice tomorrow. I have to go to the lab tonight to prepare medicine for Grandma Lan, so I can't stay out too late with you guys. I have to go now."
"Is Grandma's illness difficult to cure?" An Xinyue was also very worried.
"With two months of medication and subsequent conditioning, you will gradually recover, don't worry."
"Thank you, Luo Luo." An Xinyue looked at Yan Xiluo gratefully upon hearing the reassuring answer.
"There's no need for us to say thank you. Your family is my family."
"Uh-huh."
"Yueyue, Feifei, I really have to go, otherwise it will be too late."
"Okay, then be careful. I'm going to play with Yueyue for a while longer."
Be careful!
"OK."
