By the time the two of them came out of the meeting room, an hour had already passed.
Zhou En’s stomach was now full from the waiter’s offerings. She noticed that even the snacks in Qingge Clothing Store were of high quality.
Seeing Xia Wan come out, Zhou En’s eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over to Xia Wan. However, she held back and didn’t immediately inquire about how the discussion went. Nonetheless, judging by the expressions on Xia Wan and Mingri’s faces, it was evident that their collaboration was going well.
As they left, Ling Yan personally escorted Xia Wan to the door, and they even exchanged contact information.
After they departed, a waiter asked Ling Yan, “Boss, is Miss Xia our future business partner? She looks so young.”
Ling Yan stopped smiling and replied solemnly, “Don’t underestimate her. She’s very talented at such a young age. I believe that in a few years, she’ll become a renowned designer. Right now, we’re providing her with a platform to showcase and sell her clothing. In the future, we may even benefit from her success.”
The waitress widened her eyes, surprised by Miss Xia’s capabilities. She didn’t know Xia Wan well, but she respected her boss’s judgment. If her boss said that Xia Wan was capable, then she must be very capable.
“How did it go? How was the collaboration?” Zhou En asked Xia Wan excitedly.
Xia Wan smiled and nodded. “It went better than I expected. Many of Sister Lingyan’s ideas align with mine. I believe we can have a successful collaboration.”
Zhou En’s smile grew even brighter. She was genuinely thrilled for Xia Wan.
“Then let’s go to my school. I know that area well, and there are many delicious eateries around.
“You’ve been busy with business this time and haven’t had a chance to relax. I’ll show you more about the current situation in the capital.”
Xia Wan didn’t refuse and instructed the driver to take them to Zhou En’s university.
It had been more than a year since Zhou En graduated. She felt nostalgic as she returned to her alma mater.
Back when she was in school, she was a popular figure, with many admirers. However, she was focused on her design studies and had little time for relationships.
Zhou Qiao took her to a nearby restaurant and ordered a chicken hot pot for dinner.
As they were enjoying their meal, four girls entered the restaurant.
When one of the girls saw Zhou En, she exclaimed, “Senior Zhou En, why are you back? Didn’t you graduate already?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhou En’s smile stiffened.
Xia Wan noticed something was amiss and asked, ‘What’s wrong? Is it someone you don’t like?”
Zhou En nodded stiffly. “She’s a junior. She used to have a crush on a guy, but he pursued me, and I turned him down. After that, she resented me and felt embarrassed.”
Xia Wan frowned and consoled her. “Well, that’s not your fault. You don’t need to feel awkward. She’s the one who should be embarrassed.”
At that moment, the girl approached and sat down beside Zhou En. She said, “Senior, you were so outstanding during your time here. Why didn’t you find a good job?
“Didn’t your artwork win an award?
“I heard you’re tutoring now, but your skills aren’t that great, are they?
“Senior, sometimes a person’s background is still very important, especially in the field of art. Who wouldn’t want their child’s art teacher to be refined?” Zhou En put her bowl down and glared at her.
Seeing her anger, Li Ru smiled even more broadly. “Senior, I was just making casual remarks. Why are you getting upset? Did I say something hurtful?
“Senior, we all know about your situation. You don’t have to hide it. You’re facing criticism from the parents of the students.
“Who asked you to come from a less privileged background?”
Zhou En snorted coldly. “Even though I don’t come from a privileged family, I’m still better than you. I couldn’t win over the man I liked, so I didn’t resort to making life difficult for others..”
