C52 Muse in the Dark Night

However, the power source displayed on the notebook became fewer and fewer. Finally, when the candle went out, the laptop's power supply was completely used up. The already dark room became pitch black. Ning Caier could only use the light from her phone to find the position of the curtain and open the entire curtain.

The moonlight outside helped to lighten the light in the room, but at the same time it brought in something else, a shadow, a huge shadow of a tree on the floor of the room, its leaves swaying slightly in the wind.

At first, Ning Caier was very afraid, but after watching it for a long time, she actually felt that this tree's shadow was very beautiful, very peaceful and mysterious.

Ning Caier opened the window and let the wind in. The only things that could create shadows were not the tree, but the terrines, books and the old projector. She seemed to sense something in these shadows and immediately rang the bell on the headboard.

"Cai'er, what happened to you?" In less than ten seconds, Ouyang Jue arrived. His room was right next to hers, and he couldn't hear anything else in the bell, only the room he was sleeping in had a reaction, this was a device used to take care of children, and now it was just right for Ouyang Jue to take care of Ning Caier who was over his age.

"I'm fine. I suddenly thought of something. Do you have a pen and paper for drawing?"

Ning Caier excitedly stood inside the room, after she obtained what she wanted, she immediately pushed Ouyang Jue out and told him not to turn on the light, because she was going to cultivate in seclusion.

"We're leaving on time tomorrow morning at seven, don't forget."

In this mysterious fortress, it was easiest to find the source of inspiration. Ning Caier probably felt that it was what she wanted, so she wanted to draw a picture in the middle of the night. However, he really wanted to know, what would she use as her muse.

Ning Caier's brush never stopped. She sat on the balcony and used the moonlight outside as the light source. She quickly changed into a new set of clothes and went to wait at the entrance of the castle. She didn't look like she hadn't slept at all.

"Can you show me what you drew last night?"

When Ouyang Jue saw Ning Caier taking out the blueprint, he was extremely curious. He knew that she wanted to exchange some pointers with Mike, but this made him even more curious about the contents inside. Otherwise, with Mike's personality, he would definitely flatten everything that didn't belong to him.

"This is for Mike to see. Maybe he thinks we're connected and wants to be proud designers."

Ning Caier was very confident, she told Ouyang Jue to give the initiative to her today, for her to negotiate with Mike, then she would help her clean up the mess.

She and Ouyang Jue had arrived at Mike's shop. It was not even the opening hours yet, and the entire shop's door was locked with a thick velvet curtain, making it impossible to see the design of Mike's shop. She rang the doorbell a few times but didn't see anyone open the door. She thought Ouyang Jue had found the wrong place.

"Just you wait, haven't you heard what 'Three Mushrooms of the Three Mushrooms' is?"

Ouyang Jue pointed to a coffee shop at the side. He had come here several times, and each time, he would have to wait for half an hour before this designer would be willing to come down.

But the more it was like this, the more Ouyang Jue wanted to take down the designer. There was no one in this world that he, the No master, couldn't get his hands on, and if the money couldn't solve all the problems, then he could only use patience and sincerity to move him.

"This lady is very pretty, but she's not my type."

Ning Caier and Ouyang Jue sat in coffee shop for forty minutes until they found a small man. He wore shorts and a long-sleeved flowery shirt with a striped bow at the collar. His hair was combed extremely high, and was fixed in the shape of a cloud with hairstyle gel.

He smiled at Ning Caier, then turned to Ouyang Jue with a stern face: "Mr. Ouyang, I will not go to your company, please do not come back."

The man immediately walked away after saying his piece. Ning Caier did not expect that the negotiation time would be so short, she did not even bother to introduce herself before Mike announced the outcome of the negotiation.

When Ning Caier saw him open the door, he did not hesitate to follow. Just as he was about to close the door, she reached his hand in, so this action was enough to turn her hand into a bear's paw. But when Mike finally opened the door, he looked at Ning Caier and did not know what to say.

Are all the people from the TiaoAo Group so stubborn? Ouyang Jue had come here several times already, and now this girl actually dared to barge in.

"I just want to see your design. Can I go in?"

Although Mike did not like people breaking into his place, but because he had hurt Ning Caier by mistake, he still let her in. However, he did not want to talk about design with her, but wanted to bring her a medicine box.

Ouyang Jue was shocked when he saw Ning Caier enter the store. He knew that Mike's temper wouldn't allow anyone to enter during a non-business hour, so he followed closely behind. Originally, he wanted to knock on the door, but he was afraid of spoiling Ning Caier's plans.

Ning Caier did not let Ouyang Jue down. As soon as she entered the room, she impatiently presented her own work, and immediately explained her creation concept in uninterrupted English. At the same time, she described how she felt about Mike's work, and the clothes he designed looked more like a struggle under pressure.

Ning Caier had seen from his documents that he had Jewish blood, and it was probably that kind of blood that made him insist on designing this set of clothing. Although he was a weirdo, she was also a weirdo that had been painstakingly blooming through the cracks of the cliff.

"Your English is not very good. There is no pause at all that makes it hard to hear what you are trying to say."

Mike looked at Ning Caier's design. Although she spoke very quickly just now, he had heard most of it. His design did indeed have the intention of breaking free, but it had nothing to do with his bloodline.

Both he and his mother had once suffered from a very grave domestic abuse, so he had always hoped that he could grow up quickly, possess the power to fight against violence and break free from such a miserable life. However, as the first person who saw him for the first time, it wasn't easy for Ning Caier to see this point.

"Are you using the shadows of various objects as a theme? Are they your muse?" Mike was extremely talented, he only needed a glance to understand Ning Caier's design, but he actually made Ning Caier sit on a chair, "Tell me again slowly."

"Have you heard of Boya and her offspring?"

Ning Caier began to explain her unfathomable story again. She actually told a European the story of high mountains and flowing water, telling Mike that it was rare to meet a good friend in the fashion industry. And the TiaoAo Group was his best choice.

As long as he was willing to join the Sky Origin, he would have a wide design space. Moreover, breaking free from the constraints was a good idea and should be recognized by everyone, not just him.

"Miss Ning, I really like being friends with you, but I don't want to join any company. That way, it will suppress my inspiration for design. Moreover, this brand has an important meaning for me, I don't want it to slowly disappear after becoming a sub-brand of a certain brand."

Mike sat down and chatted with Ning Caier, but that did not mean that he would change his own principles. He gave Ning Caier a business card with his private number on it.

"Especially regarding the cutting techniques, I think that the Miss Ning is a single-legged horse. You probably wouldn't be able to make such a complicated cutting, right?"

Just by looking at Ning Caier's hands, Mike knew that she had not been a tailor for long. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her hands to not have a single indentation from a thread. And today, she had drawn this design for at least three years.

"Why don't you consider it a little more? Why don't you go and take a look?" Ning Caier wanted to try again, but she finally came in, she didn't want to just take her name card and leave.

But Mike had already opened the shop's door, he looked at Ouyang Jue who was standing at the door, "Miss Ning, your boyfriend seems to be anxious waiting."

"He's my boss."

Ning Caier knew that Mike had misunderstood, and quickly explained the situation. She quickly left his shop, and this Mike actually closed the door without asking any questions, as if he was not the least bit interested in the relationship between Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier.

"What did he tell you?" You guys can actually chat for half an hour, the amount of time I've spent together with him these few times isn't that long. "

When Ouyang Jue came out, he couldn't stop asking questions. Although she hadn't managed to persuade Mike, to be able to get his personal phone number and even have a long chat with him was already a big step forward. Tian Ao and his cooperation would definitely be just around the corner.

"Actually, Mike just couldn't bear to part with his brand. He could consider hiring him as a guest designer to design clothes for a season to try, which would also avoid the risk of us buying his brand."

Ning Caier had already started to have a sense of management. Although she could understand Mike's design concept, she was still worried that his clothes did not suit the public, and rashly buying them might cause the company to lose some money.

"He has never been a part-time designer, especially one like Mike. Although he is talented, he needs to spend a lot of time and money to wrap it up and promote it. If we spend that much money on a part-time designer, our losses will be even greater."

Ouyang Jue touched the top of Ning Caier's head. It was a good thing that she was able to think of a way to change the topic when he was facing an obstacle in the negotiation, proving that she was finally enlightened on the matter. It was just that she still needed to train with specific techniques properly, so he gave her a list of books.

"All in English?" When Ning Caier saw the titles of the books, her head started to swell. Oral and professional books were two completely different concepts, and it would take her a long time to understand them, so she looked at Ouyang Jue brilliantly, "Is the Chinese version okay?"

"No." Ouyang Jue replied very straightforwardly.
