After handing the question to Chi Yanchen, Ye Mingqian suddenly felt relaxed all over her body. She lay on the bed to hold on to her sleepiness, and called Liu Fulong to ask about Li Chengxi's recent schedule.
I've been hanging around Huo Jili for the past two days, but I haven't done anything to help this international weirdo officially get over.
"Ms. Ye, it's a coincidence. I wanted to call you just now."
Ye Mingqian was surprised, "What?"
"After Chengxi came back, he felt guilty for his rude behavior that day. He asked me to call and ask if Miss Ye was free recently. He wanted to apologize to you in person."
"Mr. Liu's words are serious." Ye Mingqian and Liu Fulong declined a few words and decided on a day for dinner. "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Then let's do it tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, I'll send the location to Miss Ye later."
Liu Fulong agreed wholeheartedly.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Mingqian turned over on her back and smoothed out the wrinkled facial mask caused by talking.
"So annoying."
she complained.
Li Chengxi is a tough nut to crack, so you can imagine how difficult tomorrow's dinner will be.
It is impossible for those noble families to sit in the back row, even if there are people from the Huo family. This time is the best time to show the strength of the family, especially the young ladies and gentlemen, wearing the most decent and beautiful clothes Sitting inconspicuously in the back? If they really do this, Huo's show of behavior will become a laughing stock.
And she will also personally ruin the path of marrying into the Huo family.
Still thinking about how to deal with Li Chengxi's statement tomorrow, her eyelids were already falling down. Ye Mingqian pulled off the mask and threw it into the trash can. She couldn't hold on anymore and fell into a deep sleep.
In the evening of the next day, Ye Mingqian carefully designed her makeup, matched her clothes and arrived at the appointed place as scheduled.
She stood under the huge signboard, looked up at the large red and black characters "Kawaweichuan" on it, and her facial expression twitched.
She never expected that Li Chengxi asked her to come to a hot pot restaurant. When she heard the name, she thought it was a Sichuan restaurant at first.
Walking into the store, ignoring the smell of the hot pot base inside, I found Li Chengxi through the smoky environment. He was leaning half of his body on the sofa chair, with his legs resting on it and shaking his legs comfortably.
"Hello Mr. Li."
Ye Mingqian walked up and said hello politely.
"Sit down." Li Chengxi greeted casually.
She lowered her head and looked at herself. She was wearing a designer vest over a well-tailored long skirt. She originally wanted to meet Li Chengxi. He was a fashion designer and she wanted to dress more appropriately.
well.
Ye Mingqian sat down resignedly.
"Where's Mr. Liu?" She looked around the hot pot restaurant and didn't see Liu Fulong.
"I asked him not to come." Li Chengxi finally sat upright and handed over the menu, "You order what you want to eat."
"Just order it, Mr. Li."
Ye Mingqian pushed the menu back.
"Just call me by my name. You are Xiaobai's friend, and we will be working together next time. It's not good to call me too polite."
Li Chengxi didn't hesitate, picked up the menu, waved his hand, checked out about 20 dishes and handed them to the waiter.
"Let's talk first." He turned to Ye Mingqian and continued to say: "For Xiaobai's sake, let me remind Miss Ye that I am straight-talking and you can scold me if there is a conflict, but don't scold me in front of me."
Ye Mingqian nodded indifferently, "Okay, I will scold you behind your back so you don't hear it."
Li Chengxi laughed loudly, "I finally understand why Xiaobai is willing to be friends with you. There are not many interesting people like you in the country."
"I just get along with Sister Bai Ge."
The meat dishes ordered were placed on the table in plates, and Ye Mingqian put what he wanted into the pot without any courtesy.
When Bai Ge was mentioned, the relationship between the two seemed to get closer silently, and they were not so hesitant to speak.
"The hot pot in China is still delicious, but the ones in Chinatown have been improved and don't have the same taste." Li Chengxi is a person who can eat spicy food. The butter pot bottom with millet and pepper seasoning is so spicy that he will sweat profusely.
"Do you want coriander?" Ye Mingqian asked him, holding up a large pot of coriander.
Li Chengxi nodded repeatedly: "Yes."
Put the coriander into the pot, and the unique flavor of the coriander will immediately come out.
"Invigorating." Li Chengxi squinted his eyes intoxicated by the smell, "It smells green."
Then, as if inspired, she took out her notebook and sketched out a knee-length skirt with a few strokes.
Ye Mingqian leaned over and took a look. It was an artificial vegetable stem, with tassels in the shape of coriander leaves floating outward. They were staggered from thick to thin, from long to short and then long, giving the illusion of flowing water ripples.
"It looks good." She praised.
"It's ordinary, the lines are not pretty." Li Chengxi threw it aside with dissatisfaction and picked up the meat slices again to eat.
"It's a good thing to have high requirements." Ye Mingqian also joined the hunt for meat, "I heard that you are very sensitive to sorting?"
Li Chengxi took out all the vegetables from the pot and called the waiter to add soup, "It's just okay."
"Can I ask for advice?"
Ye Mingqian showed an attitude of learning with an open mind.
"I've seen your work." Li Chengxi pointed out her shortcomings pointedly, "You are very talented, but you haven't studied design systematically, right?"
"yes."
Ye Mingqian answered calmly.
Her ability to complete works alone comes partly from her mother's influence on her since she was a child, and partly from her interest in self-study.
"It's very good. Your designs are very smart. If you had followed the steps step by step, you might not have achieved what you have now. So this is also one of your advantages. The sorting of lines is not important. After all, not every piece of clothing can be used. I figured it out on my own when it comes to large-area thread shops. If you really want to learn, I can show you the way."
Ye Mingqian sat upright and said he was all ears.
"Just find an embroidery teacher."
The soup base was boiled again, and Li Chengxi poured vegetables and noodles into it this time.
"I understand." Ye Mingqian thanked him.
Li Chengxi concentrated on cooking noodles and ignored her movements to raise his glass.
If Bai Ge hadn't specifically told him to stir Ye Mingqian a little bit, he wouldn't have wasted his time.
Ye Mingqian didn't care that she hit a soft nail. At the end of the hot pot meal, she slowly mentioned the seats at the main show in the sky.
"Since you are so proficient in the arrangement of clothes lines, you should also be knowledgeable about the arrangement of items in the scene, right?"
Li Chengxi looked up from the noodle bowl in confusion.
"for example?"
Ye Mingqian went straight to the point, "For example, the arrangement of seats on each level of the main show."
"Wait for me here."
Li Chengxi threw away his chopsticks with anger on his face, "Miss Ye, I do it for Bai Ge's sake, otherwise you won't be able to see me in person until the rehearsal day."
The implication is, don't be shameless.
Ye Mingqian also lost her temper. She called up the photo album on her mobile phone, enlarged one of the forms and handed it to Li Chengxi, pointing to the numbers in it and asked him:
"Lee Seung Suk, have you ever calculated how much it costs to hold a show?"
