Chapter 135: Signing The Contract

Chu Huan Jing stared at Xiao Yun without a word. In his eyes as a designer, he was noting down Xiao Yun's office clothing that looked formal yet chic at the same time and thought of how the color balance fit perfectly to Xiao Yun's skin color. 

However, because his face was hidden under his hair, Xiao Yun couldn't get a clear look at his expression at the moment and couldn't read his thought at all. The only impression that Xiao Yun received from him was rather faint, his presence was unlike the person next to him. He was the type of person who could leave the room without being noticed by anyone. 

Unlike the unreadable Chuan Huan Jing, the person behind him was akin to an open book. Zhu Yi Nian blatantly showed his judging eyes at Xiao Yun's appearance. Xiao Yun guessed that in his brain at the moment he was counting the total to Xiao Yun's overall clothing and accessories. 

Zhu Yi Nian didn't know what kind of brand Xiao Yun's clothing was nor her bag. However, he noticed the Xiao Yun's accessories worth three luxurious houses altogether and immediately showed a face that thirst for money.

Seeing Zhu Yi Nian's eyes that turned green from her accessories, Xiao Yun's whole guessed was instantly confirmed. 

Snapping out from his thoughts, Chuan Huan Jing who almost forgot to greet Xiao Yun immediately spoke. "Excuse me, lady are you Ms. Yu?"

Xiao Yun's eyes gave off a more matured gaze from her usual eyes. "Yes, I am."

"Ah!" Chuan Huan Jing was about to reach out his hand when Zhu Yi Nian took the first step and spoke. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Yu, I'm the head designer of Azure Company Zhu Yi Nian and this is Chuan Huan Jing, my fellow designer. "

Xiao Yun slightly lifted her brow. 'He introduces Chuan Huan Jing only as a fellow designer even though their positions are the same- no in a sense, Chuan  Huan Jing was the one who starts the company. Meaning he has a higher position than Zhu Yi Nian and yet, he didn't respect him in a way that he must-'

Xiao Yun smiled, gave a slight handshake to Zhu Yi Nian before doing the same to Chuan Huan Jing with slightly more time in the latter. "My name is Yu Xiao Yun. Nice to meet you two."

Xiao Yun paused for a moment with a meaningful look and gazed around the lounge before praising. "This building's design is very beautiful. " She started. "The atmosphere of the whole company is very well-designed. The woods that were used, the simple furniture that gave the color needed for the room and especially the Bougainvillea flowers on the entrance. It was very beautiful and warmly welcomed the guests to the company. May I know the person who designed this building?"

Xiao Yun started a small flame that was enough to turn Zhu Yi  Nian's face into solid rock. 

Chuan Huan Jing's eyes hidden beneath the hair almost sparkled from Xiao Yun's words. He was the person who initially designed the building with so many thoughts and contemplation. His main idea to design the building was to make a good impression and greet the guests to the company. 

He never expected his hard works to the small details would be greatly praised by Xiao Yun.

"I was the one who designed the building... Thank you very much for the praises, Ms. Yu." Chuan Huan Jing gratefully thanked Xiao Yun from her praises. His voice was deep and unlike his slender figure, he had quite a bit of a very husky voice.

Xiao Yun smiled. "I was speaking my thoughts out. I could see that you are very good at designing, Mr. Chuan."

Feeling as if he had just beaten by Chuan Huan Jing, Zhu Yi Nian forced a smile and chided. "Ms. Yu, should we talk inside?"

"Sure." Xiao Yun replied and followed them to the meeting room. Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan continued to follow her as she entered the room and stood behind her chair with a blank yet stern expression. 

Chuan Huan Jing and Zhu Yi Nian sat next to each other in front of Xiao Yun with a frightened expression. The reason for their fear was none other than her bodyguards behind her. Xiao Yun sipped the tea that was prepared by the very thoughtful Chuan Huan Jing and thought that her idea of bringing Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan sure worked very well, especially to Zhu Yi Nian. 

If Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan weren't here, Zhu Yi Nian would have done many things in order to lick Xiao Yun's boots, making her look at him with eyes of disgust. 

Xiao Yun glanced at their eyes, staring at it with a smile and broke the silence. "Don't mind these two that much. Unless there is anything for them to become weary of, they wouldn't do anything."

"U-Uh... I understand" As Chuan Huan Jing spoke, his hair that kept on covering his upper half face swung as he nodded.

"Well, this company was just opened within this year. Most of our designs include gowns, accessories, and also this type of article of clothing. Our main aim is to design clothes that would make the wearer comfortable while still maintaining the elegance of the clothes. This is the sales for last month when we first open the company and this one is the estimation of future sales." Chuan Huan Jing explained. 

His eyes were unlike the unfocused Zhu Yi Nian who kept on staring at Xiao Yun. While looking down at the paper and speaking with all his best while hoping that Xiao Yun would invest in their company to flourish his company and achieved his dream. 

Seeing how hard Chuan Huan Jing worked to persuade her, Xiao Yun now could understand why his designs were breathtaking and mesmerizing, so beautiful that his own friend wanted to covet everything. 

Xiao Yun tapped her fingers on the side of the table, it was a habit that she got after being beside Wang Li Lei for a long time. "I'm very interested in the designs of the gowns... I wonder do you have some to show me now?"

Chuan Huan Jing nodded as fast as he could before taking a file beside his left hand and gave it to Xiao Yun. "All I have at the moment is this... this isn't that much, however, I still have some more in the other room."

Xiao Yun raised her hand to Chuan Huan Jing who was about to step out of the meeting room in haste and spoke softly. "No. That wouldn't be needed. This is far than enough." 

The gown designs were simple and light, however, each of the colors chosen for the hem of the skirt was far than beautiful. The off-shoulder dress was adorned with embroidery in a red-colored thread, giving a beautiful shadow to the curve. 

Certainly, the gowns that Chuan Huan Jing made were all constructed with careful considerations. The gown was able to hide the curves of the wearer in a beautiful manner, making it pleasing to the eyes while bringing their quality to life. 

'No wonder the girls in the whole capital would fight for just a piece of the dress. It was beautiful, flattering the wearer's figure, and even though the colors he used in this other gown were rather strong, it never fought with each other. Instead, it became even more beautiful. This man is very skilled.'

Just as she finished praising the gown, Zhu Yi Nian also placed his designs next to Xiao Yun. "And this is mine-"

Even though Xiao Yun knew how the future would play out, she couldn't carelessly show her disgust to Zhu Yi Nian and kept her place neutral. 

She took the papers and stared at the designs with complex eyes. Zhu Yi Nian's designs weren't bad nor ugly. Rather it was beautiful on its own worth and it was higher in degree than a normal designer. However, if someone had seen Chuan Huan Jing's designs first, his designs would worth much lesser. 

Xiao Yun placed both papers with a satisfied expression. "These designs are surely very beautiful... Mr. Chuan and Mr. Zhu, I could see the potential of this company. Everything that you two have done must have been a fruit of your hard work. Working together with you two would surely be a pleasure. "

Chuan Huan Jing instantly stood from his seat and the same goes for Zhu Yi Nian. For the first time, Xiao Yun could see Zhu Yi Nian's eyes devoid of his flattery or envy. His eyes were sparkling as how a kid would have when they had just won a competition. 

After Xiao Yun signed the contract and ended the meeting, Chuan Huan Jing and Zhu Yi Nian accompanied Xiao Yun to the entrance and once again bowed. 

"Thank you very much for believing us, Ms. Yu."

"No, need to thank me. I could see that not soon this company would reach the top. Please continue your hard work." Xiao Yun replied before exiting the company. 

Chuan Huan Jing had an eye of admiration for Xiao Yun. Although Xiao Yun looked young, she spoke well with confidence and composed herself very maturely. Not only that, but Xiao Yun was also able to see the tiny details that he put and even praised him. 

"Let's get back inside." Zhu Yi Nian spoke before entering the company. 

"I agree. Yi Nian, how about we eat BBQ, today? For a celebration?"

Zhu Yi Nian nodded. "Let's do that."

Thinking that they had just ascended another step to their dream, the two entered the company with a bright expression.
