Zhuang Nainai was taken aback. âRed? Iâm not saying that... red isnât a good color, but summer apparels pay particular attention to embody cool and refreshing elements. Wouldnât red look too heavy? Itâs not a good idea to use red on summer apparels, isnât it?â
Si Jingyu nodded. âWe have already thought about this. Itâs true that red is seldom seen on summer apparels, but red is the national color of China. Furthermore, the trend now is retro. A classic red maxi dress would look very festive and retro. I believe the sales would be good.â
â...â
Afterward, Zhuang Nainai continued speaking. However, Mi Nuo had not heard any of it as she had already slipped away quietly. She was so excited and riled up.
Red.
So, the signature color of this summer was red!
She had thought that there was no hope left for today, but she had never expected the tables to turn! God was helping her!
â
After Mi Nuo left, someone working for Si Jingyu signaled to her from outside.
Si Jingyu could finally heave a sigh of relief. She looked at Zhuang Nainai and smiled. âAlright, she left. But do you think she would fall for our act?â
Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips. âYes.â
Si Jingyu was taken aback. âThis is such an obvious scheme. She will probably see through us, wonât she?â
Zhuang Nainai laughed. âMi Nuo did not come this far by relying on her own capabilities. She has always relied on her craftiness and taking advantage of others to get what she wants. Furthermore, we explained the reason behind why red is the signature color. What else would she suspect?â
Si Jingyu smiled. âOkay. Speaking of the color red, if not for you, I really wouldnât have been able to imagine how a row of red summer apparels would look like.â
Zhuang Nainai burst into laughter. âDonât worry. Red looks too stuffy. People in Beijing prefer comfort. It would be so warm to wear red in summer. Arenât they just torturing themselves?â
Si Jingyu continued nodding. âNot bad, Nainai. I havenât seen you in a month and you improved.â
When Zhuang Nainai heard this compliment, she pursed her lips and smiled.
Improved. Of course she improved.
Managing a design business with Cheng Sizhe had recently taught her many things that she wasnât aware of in the past. She also realized how difficult it was to manage a company.
Just as she was lamenting, her phone suddenly rang. Zhuang Nainai answered the call immediately, only to hear a certain voice on the other end of the call. âWhere are you?â
Stunned, Zhuang Nainai looked at the screen and realized that that voice belonged to Xu Dazhi.
Unknowingly, his usual deep voice sounded slightly different over the phone, and this caused her heart to stir slightly.
It was not the first time she had gotten this peculiar feeling.
For the longest time, she would feel an inexplicable urge to cry whenever she saw Xu Dazhi from the back.
She sighed and tossed all these thoughts out of her mind. She could not help but attack him. âIâm on the fourth floor of the Beijing Hotel. Why? Didnât you take a leave of absence today?â
Upon hearing this, Si Zhengting pursed his lips.
Recently, the company had been very busy. Si Jingyu could not handle everything by herself, so heâd visited the office these past two days. In addition, Zhuang Nainaiâs bewildering distaste toward him made him feel that he ought to figure out what was going on. Hence, he took a few days of leave.
However, after hearing that she was attending the designersâ social event, he could not help but worry for her. What if she was bullied at the event?
This woman seemed to be born to attract all sorts of trouble. She would land herself in several troubles automatically. Thus, after Si Zhengting finished his meeting, he gave her a call.
