C63 Return

However, he knew that supporting such a brand was not something that a normal small company could do.

"I have always been willing to pay for talented people. If you are willing to join the Sky Origin Stage, we can discuss the terms again."

Ouyang Jue did not deny that he had invested a lot of money in Ning Caier, but to a potential designer, it was definitely a good investment. Even the board of directors would not object to this decision, others would naturally understand as well. As for Mike, we can give him one more chance to submit to the Blessed One.

"I don't want to be in cahoots with you. I want to maintain the independence of my brand so that I can compete with you."

Mike did not want himself to be bound by Ouyang Jue, especially with such a love rival around him. He needed to ensure his financial and personality independence, otherwise, in the pursuit of Ning Caier, he would be forced to act.

"It doesn't matter, you can compete with me fair, but I have already bought the shop opposite of yours, in a while I will make a dedicated shop for Ning Caier, but don't worry, I will not let Ning Caier appear in the shop alone."

Money was also one of his weapons. As long as he used this weapon correctly, it would definitely have the effect of doubling the results with half the effort. Mike would definitely lose this round.

Ning Caier did not stay in Milan with Ouyang Jue for long, they had just finished setting up their own brand name shop before they returned back to the Nation. It was just that by the time they returned to the Sky Ox Headquarters, her identity had already changed drastically.

Ouyang Jue had prepared a work room for Ning Caier on the same floor as the Design Department. Other than her own office, she could also bring a few people with his to be his assistants and specially make the line for the brand.

"If you are not satisfied with what they provide, you can also design it yourself. I will have the factory produce samples, but only on one condition. Every fashion show must be perfect."

Ouyang Jue had given Ning Caier enough space to create his clothes, so her design had already reached a high standard. Before they came back from Milan, there were already two to three other first-rate artists who wanted to find Ning Caier to customize their clothes.

Hence, there were two small rooms beside the studio. One of them was for the artiste to dress up and make up their face, and the other was for Ning Caier's temporary bedroom. Gradually, there would be more work to do in the future, so she would probably need to sleep in the office frequently.

"Tell me anything else you need to buy."

The last card that Ouyang Jue gave was a forbidden card. This card belonged to the bedroom, and only she had it. In addition, the studio's door was sealed with finger marks, so other than the few people that she brought, not even he and Xiao Ningyuan could enter.

"That's good enough. We don't have a lot of work to do right now. I feel that it should be enough to bring two people with us."

This place was even bigger than Xiao Ningyuan's workshop, it was obvious thathe was trying to snatch the limelight from Xiao Ningyuan. She was too embarrassed to go see Xiao Ningyuan, she felt that he had stolen the limelight from this design director.

"You are different from Xiao Ningyuan, he is Tian Ao's director of design, and you are the partner of the fashion design brand. There is no relationship between the two of you, so there is no comparison.

Ouyang Jue knew that Ning Caier was unwilling to exceed the standards that Xiao Ningyuan could enjoy, to show his respect for this teacher. Hence, he gave her such an explanation so that she could peacefully stay within the studio.

"The female celebrities who will be coming next week to book the clothes will be here one by one. As early as tomorrow, take a look at the information on her past attendance at the event and have a basic understanding of her preferences."

Ouyang Jue had already completed his data collection. Other than this female celebrity's personal information, there was also the award ceremony that she was going to attend which he had once obtained the best dress style. This was the first step of Ning Caier's journey back home.

"I know, thank you."

Ning Caier already had a candidate for an assistant in her mind. After seeing the information, she immediately called them to the new design room for a meeting, hoping that everyone would familiarize themselves with the information regarding this female celebrity in the morning. In the afternoon, she would receive a detailed analysis of her relationship with this female star, as well as the clothing traits that she had worn in the recent years.

After Ning Caier finished arranging the work, she started to investigate the parts that she needed to know. Although the award ceremony was of a selection nature, the ones making the decision were only a few alligator in the film and television world. Among them, Evil Woman was the leader of a fashion magazine.

Therefore, Ning Caier first looked through the articles written by Evil Woman this year, as well as the recommendations for the individual products. These were all things that she thought well of, if a female celebrity could have these, then it would definitely be worth it in front of her.

"You should once again investigate what kind of taboo this Evil Woman has, and definitely do not touch her fatal spots."

Ning Caier had been focused on her work and did not take into account what was happening behind him, this sudden voice startled her, but when she turned her head, what she saw was a warm smile, Han Yuqi had actually come looking for her. He knew she was going to design clothes for the actress, so he helped her gather some information so she wouldn't run out of time.

"Welcome to the design team of the Ning University. Hello, I am the vice president of the Sky Ox Empire, Han Yuqi."

Han Yuqi placed a bouquet of lilies on Ning Caier's table. He once again introduced himself to her to show that Ning Caier had a different identity when she returned back to Sky Ox City. Right now, she was a partner in a fashion design, which meant that she was also his equal to being a partner. Naturally, she couldn't treat her like a subordinate, so this bouquet of flowers was both a congratulation to Ning Caier and a welcome to her new identity.

Han Yuqi liked to send flowers. He felt that this was a form of courtesy, no matter if it was to friends or customers, this kind of courtesy would always be able to give others a favorable impression. However, in Ning Caier's hands, the meaning of this gift far exceeded its original meaning.

"I like it very much. Thank you. Why haven't you replied to my text recently? Is the company very busy?"

Ning Caier stood up from her seat excitedly. From the moment she came back to the present, Han Yuqi had not paid any attention to her, and this caused her confidence to gradually dissipate. She did not expect that she would receive such a huge surprise upon returning to the country. She took the bouquet of flowers in her arms and buried her face in the flowers, breathing in their fragrance.

However, it's fine now. After the CEO returns, he can go back on the right track, and in the future I will be responsible for the operations of the Milan Branch. Perhaps after a period of time, he will come back. "Don't worry, I'll take a good look at the store over there."

Han Yuqi explained to Ning Caier in a simple manner. During this time, he was tortured badly by the people on the board of directors and happened to go to the Milan to rest, as well as to admire the clothes that Ning Caier had designed. Although there were also in the country, he felt that the flagship shop s there would be better than the ones in his own country.

This news caused Ning Caier's smiling face to freeze. She did not expect that right after she returned to her hometown, she would have to leave. Between the two of them, there seemed to be an invisible wall.

The flowers that Ning Caier was holding were slowly put down, the other two designers had already left when they saw Han Yuqi coming in, so only the two of them were left.

Ning Caier took out her handbag. Actually, she had made a present for Han Yuqi when she was at Milan, an armband that she had specially designed for him.

This was an extremely obvious way of confessing his feelings. Ning Caier knew that once she gave it away, it would be equivalent to confessing to Han Yuqi face to face. If he refused, it would be hard to retain the two's identity as friends.

"Did you watch my finals?" Ning Caier still planned to test her out. She knew that the competition would be broadcasted to the entire country, but she didn't have much hope. Han Yuqi was already too busy to even sleep, how could she have the time to watch the competition.

"I saw it. The match was very exciting." Han Yuqi actually nodded his head, he told Ning Caier that he had watched every single one of her matches. She had indeed grown a lot in the competition, and was now an outstanding designer.

Han Yuqi actually understood Ning Caier's last words to be her thanks to Mike the instructor. This kind of explanation did indeed make sense, but Ning Caier didn't want him to misunderstand her relationship with Mike at all.

"Actually, I want to say that you are the person I want to thank." After Ning Caier mustered up her courage and said these words, she knew she couldn't let Han Yuqi leave. Once he went to Milan, she didn't know when the two of them would meet again, and in that incomparably romantic country, it was very likely that he would meet his Muse Angel.

"Thank you, this is a gift from me in return." She did not even dare to breathe too loudly. She directly gave the pair of cuffs to Han Yuqi with her eyes closed.

Han Yuqi opened it and took a look. It was a picture formed by two abbreviations, he picked up the cuff knob with N on it and looked at it under the sunlight.

"This is Teacher Xiao Ningyuan's sketch, Cai'er. You're saving too much materials, so you should make a pair for each of us. Right now, there's only one person for each of us to wear."

Of course, Han Yuqi could see through Ning Caier's intentions, but he had only treated her as a friend and had no intention of letting their relationship progress further. Even if he did not reply with a text, he did not know how to handle their relationship, so he used the excuse of being busy with work to evade her.

But he knew that it wasn't easy for a girl to muster up the courage to confess, so she didn't expose Ning Caier's identity. Instead, she cleverly changed the topic and explained the 'N' that represented Ning Caier as her middle name.

"I'll leave this pair of cufflinks with you first, then we'll give it to Teacher Xiao and me after we finish it. You are currently a partner in clothing design, you can't be so petty."

Han Yuqi placed the pair of cuff links on Ning Caier's table, and found an excuse to leave her studio. He was still elegant and reserved in his gentleman manner.
