"Xiao Qin, long time no see!"
Wang Lingyue approached and greeted Qin Tian with a beaming smile.
"Yes, it has been!"
Qin Tian nodded with a smile and then introduced Xia Nuannuan beside him.
"Hello, President Wang!"
Xia Nuan quickly greeted her proactively.
"Hello, hello!"
Wang Lingyue responded with a smile, sizing her up a few times before teasing, "You're even more beautiful than your design sketches, no wonder Xiao Qin treasures you so much that he asked for you back."
Xia Nuannuan was stunned and looked puzzled.
"That design sketch for the blue dress. This dress is now our company's hottest selling item."
Wang Lingyue explained with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan immediately understood, glanced at Qin Tian beside her, blushed, and lowered her head slightly.
"So cute. Xiao Qin, don't just stand there, please sit down."
Wang Lingyue praised and gestured downwards with her hand.
Qin Tian nodded, and he and Xia Nuannuan sat back down, while Wang Lingyue sat next to Wang Hao.
"You guys just finished your college entrance exams, right?"
"Yes!"
"How did you do?"
"It was okay."
"What do you mean 'okay'? Auntie, you don't know, our brother Qin is a super scholar. He's first in his grade at school. He scored over 740 in both mock exams," Wang Hao blurted out.
"Really?"
Wang Lingyue's surprise was evident.
She had always been a decent student when she was younger, but there was still a gap between her and the school's top scholars. She understood what those exaggerated scores meant.
"Then, Xiao Qin, are you planning to go to Tsinghua or Peking University?"
Wang Lingyue asked curiously.
Qin Tian smiled and shook his head, replying, "Neither. Nuannuan and I are planning to go to Jiang University. We want to visit it tomorrow."
"Jiang University?"
Wang Lingyue seemed quite surprised. She glanced at Xia Nuannuan beside him and seemed to understand something immediately.
"Jiang University is also a good choice, it's close to home. And this way, it will be more convenient for us to continue our cooperation in the future. Developing in Jiangcheng after graduation is also a good option. Although Jiangcheng isn't a first-tier city yet, its development potential is immense."
"Yes, I strongly agree with what President Wang said."
Qin Tian nodded seriously, expressing his agreement.
At this moment, the front desk girl brought Wang Lingyue a cup of iced coffee according to her preference.
After taking a sip of coffee, Wang Lingyue steered the conversation back on track.
"Xiao Qin, did you bring any new design sketches this time? Don't worry, the price won't disappoint you. Your previous designs brought considerable profit to my company."
"Of course!"
Qin Tian nodded eagerly and took out a USB drive from his pocket, handing it over. "I didn't bring printed copies this time, it's all in here."
"Good!"
Wang Lingyue took the USB drive and beckoned.
From not far away, the front desk girl who had just delivered the coffee quickly walked back.
"Go get the computer from my office."
Wang Lingyue instructed.
"Yes, President Wang."
The girl immediately nodded and hurried off to her office.
"Xiao Qin, you didn't have your girlfriend model for these designs this time?"
Wang Lingyue teased with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan's face instantly turned red again.
Qin Tian calmly smiled and said, "Not yet. She's my trump card, I can't just show her off casually."
"Yikes... Oh my goodness!"
Wang Hao made a face as if he had been creeped out, shaking his goosebumps off.
"Wow!"
Wang Lingyue covered her mouth with her hand, her smiling eyes lingering on both their faces.
Xia Nuannuan's face flushed even more, and she held the lemon tea given to her by the front desk girl, sipping it to hide her shyness.
"Can't handle it, can't handle it."
Wang Hao shook his head in disgust.
"Can't handle what?"
Wang Lingyue's smile instantly vanished as she glared at her nephew.
Wang Hao shrank his head and chuckled sheepishly.
"You should learn from Xiao Qin in this regard. Look at him, and then look at you. I asked you to find a girlfriend last time, and there's been no news yet?"
"Auntie, finding a girlfriend is easy. I'll bring one for you to see tomorrow."
"Get lost. Is that a proper girlfriend? I don't want to see it!"
"See, you can't blame me for this!"
"Heh, you just argue with me. I'll tell your mom, and she'll arrange blind dates for you."
"Auntie, you're my real aunt! Please don't!"
Wang Hao's face changed drastically, and he cried out loudly.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan exchanged glances, silently enjoying the show.
After the front desk girl brought the laptop, Wang Lingyue plugged in the USB drive given by Qin Tian. While elegantly sipping her coffee, she browsed through the clothing design sketches one by one.
"Qin Tian, President Wang is so elegant!"
Xia Nuannuan leaned into Qin Tian's ear, covering her mouth with her hand, and whispered enviously.
Qin Tian couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, saying softly, "Trust me, your elegance in the future won't be any less than President Wang's."
In his memory, Xia Nuannuan, wearing a red dress to a class reunion, had stunned everyone with her beauty and demeanor.
Xia Nuannuan shook her head slightly, her bright beautiful eyes filled with longing and aspiration.
As Wang Lingyue browsed through the sketches, her smile grew increasingly satisfied.
A total of twelve design sketches, their quality was no less than the previous ones, and their design ideas and styles were very fashionable and trendy, all novel designs that couldn't be found on the market.
Closing the laptop with satisfaction, Wang Lingyue looked up at Qin Tian and said directly, "Xiao Qin, name your price!"
This time, she had truly recognized Qin Tian's talent and value as a fashion designer.
Although the previous designs were good, they were few in number, and she was unsure if Qin Tian was purely lucky or if there were other reasons.
In the fashion design industry, there were quite a few talents who had run out of inspiration.
Even though Qin Tian had confidently stated last time that those designs were only half a month's worth of his work, and that he was a talent worth long-term cooperation, Wang Lingyue still had her doubts in her heart.
It wasn't until she saw so many excellent design sketches this time that the question mark could be removed.
Undoubtedly, Qin Tian's talent in fashion design was top-notch.
Moreover, he was highly productive, bringing more value to the collaborating companies.
Qin Tian pondered for a moment, then raised his right hand, fingers spread, and said seriously, "Five hundred thousand, plus 5% of the sales profit after your company launches these clothing styles!"
Wang Lingyue looked at him with some surprise and shook her head. "I'll add one million, one million five hundred thousand, to buy out these designs."
"No, President Wang, I hope to participate more directly. Five percent profit sharing is not much, but it can strengthen our cooperative relationship."
Qin Tian said with a serious expression.
