Chapter 136: Extending an Offer

The theme of this fas.h.i.+on show was freedom, and the first element s.h.i.+ Yi could think of was wind. It was spring now, and thousands of pear blossoms were blooming, so s.h.i.+ Yi chose pear blossom white as the color of her clothes.

Not only did she have to design it appropriately, but the clothes also had to fit Yushu Buyi’s design concept. s.h.i.+ Yi had put in a lot of effort. In the end, she designed a s.h.i.+rt and skirt that was hollowed out at the chest and waist.

She and Xu Zhi were both going to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, so the two of them left the venue to prepare backstage. According to the rules of the fas.h.i.+on show, after the models walked down the runway, the designers had to go on stage to show their faces.

Before Xu Zhi went on stage, she even cheered s.h.i.+ Yi on. “Best of luck. 1’11 wait for you on stage.”

s.h.i.+ Yi nodded confidently.

That night, Xu Zhi got first place in men’s clothing, while s.h.i.+ Yi, as a new designer, got third place in women’s clothing. s.h.i.+ Yi could see the admiration in the eyes of the people below the stage when her clothes appeared on stage. She was confident that after Yushu Buyi’s first batch of designs entered the market, there would definitely be a good response.

s.h.i.+ Yi and Xu Zhi had only seen each other’s designs for the first time when they were on stage and were very impressed by the creativity of their designs. At the ball after the compet.i.tion, s.h.i.+ Yi suddenly had an idea. Yushu Buyi needed talents now. If she could recruit Xu Zhi, it would definitely benefit Yushu Buyi greatly!

Hence, after the ball ended at night, s.h.i.+ Yi took the initiative to send Xu Zhi back to school.

It was only April, and the weather had just cooled down. As soon as she left the hotel, a cold wind blew. s.h.i.+ Yi was wearing a thin gown, so she couldn’t help but hug herself and cower when the wind blew.

Xu Zhi took off her jacket considerately and draped it over s.h.i.+ Yi. Only then did s.h.i.+ Yi realize that the white s.h.i.+rt he was wearing had dark patterns. The faint cloud pattern made him appear more distant and not as gentle and approachable as usual.

s.h.i.+ Yi adjusted her coat. “Thank you.”

Xu Zhi opened the car door like a gentleman and let s.h.i.+ Yi sit in the back seat. Xu Zhi only got in after s.h.i.+ Yi tidied up her clothes.

The wind ravaged the trees on both sides of the road, causing the huge tree crowns to tremble. s.h.i.+ Yi turned her gaze back from the window and looked at Xu Zhi while asking, “As your mentor, did Sister Jiaojiao invite you to work at the w.a.n.g Corporation?”

Xu Zhi leaned against the back seat. His alcohol tolerance wasn’t very good, and because he got first place tonight, he was forced to drink a lot. Now, he felt a little dizzy, so he didn’t open his eyes.

The dim yellow light by the roadside cast lit up his face, making his side profile look angular.

For the first time, s.h.i.+ Yi realized that a person’s appearance could be so divided. From the front, he looked gentle and easy-going, but from the side, he looked resolute and cold.

Xu Zhi’s stomach churned a little. He endured it for a while before he suppressed a burp and said, “Madam w.a.n.g mentioned this before, but I’m still thinking about it. The w.a.n.g Corporation is already a very mature company. Although I’ll receive good treatment if 1 join them now, my value won’t be reflected.”

s.h.i.+ Yi understood this point very well. The most important thing for a designer was fame. The w.a.n.g Corporation was huge, and there were many outstanding designers. In a place with many talented people, it would be very difficult for a newcomer to stand out.

After s.h.i.+ Yi thought for a moment, she offered, “Then are you interested in considering Yushu Buyi? Yushu Buyi has just established the design department, and it’s a very new department. Although it mainly designs women’s clothing now, we will definitely set up a men’s clothing brand in the future. 1 feel that your design philosophy is very compatible with Yushu Buyi’s. And you aren’t only specializing in men’s clothing.”

Xu Zhi slowly opened his eyes. He didn’t look at s.h.i.+ Yi, but stared at the front row without replying for a long time..
