Wang Jiao patted Xu Zhi’s shoulder again. “This beautiful woman is Shi Yi, the fashion design director of Yushu Buyi’s newly established fashion design department. You have to learn more from her.”

When Shi Yi heard this introduction, she immediately lowered her head shyly, and her soft long hair fell down. Shi Yi had gone overseas to study after graduating from university and had suddenly returned to the country because of the child in Chu Mei’s stomach, so her studies overseas had been postponed for a year.

Hence, Shi Yi was probably slightly younger than Xu Zhi. Wang Jiao was exaggerating when she said that she wanted Xu Zhi to learn more from Shi Yi.

Shi Yi said coquettishly, “Sister Jiaojiao, you’re flattering me!”

It was rare for Wang Jiao to see the usually feisty Shi Yi acting so bashful, so she was very amused.

Wang Jiao stopped teasing her and said to the two of them with a smile, “Let’s go to the hotel first. The room has been booked. Everyone else has already left. We can’t be late.”

Xu Zhi was also very attentive during the meal.

Their seats were next to each other. Xu Zhi would always pay attention to Shi Yi when she was picking up food and help her hold the spinning glass wheel. He would only let go after Shi Yi finished picking up the food. If there was no water in Shi Yi’s teacup, Xu Zhi would ask the attendant to pour water for her.

Other than being obsessed with fashion, Shi Yi was usually very capricious when it came to everything else, including making friends. Hence, her friends had very similar personalities to hers. None of them cared about these details, so Xu Zhi’s meticulousness was very charming in Shi Yi’s eyes.

Xu Zhi’s appearance was also very gentle. His eyebrows were relatively light among guys, and his skin was fair. He also had an approachable vibe.

From the conversation between Shi Yi and him, it was obvious that he was a man with a great thirst for knowledge. Even if it was someone he had just met today, as long as they hit it off, he would humbly accept the difference in their people’s opinions and would insist on reaching a conclusion.

Logically speaking, a person who insisted on reaching a conclusion after every discussion should be very stubborn, but he wasn’t stubborn. He was just serious.

Even though he and Shi Yi had different opinions about fabric this afternoon, no one got aggressive during their discussion. In fact, Shi Yi felt that she was being enlightened.

Shi Yi realized that Xu Zhi was indeed very suited for doing research.

Later on, during dinner, the two of them discussed a lot. In the end, Shi Yi even talked about some work-related matters.

Regarding the changes that had just happened to Yushu Buyi, as well as some problems that she had encountered, Shi Yi chose some things that could be revealed to tell Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi roughly understood that Yushu Buyi had just experienced a change. Currently, Yushu Buyi couldn’t occupy a place in the market, nor did it have a fixed customer base. Most importantly, it had not become famous yet, so consumers were unwilling to pay.

He suddenly remembered that he had just received an invitation to the fashion show, but he didn’t tell Shi Yi immediately. Instead, he comforted Shi Yi and told her not to worry about work. As long as she worked hard, there would be results.

Xu Zhi’s personality was very levelheaded. If he didn’t have full confidence in getting things done, he wouldn’t tell others about it in advance, lest he give them false hope.

After the meal, the two of them exchanged contact details and went home.

Although they had saved each other’s contact details, everyone had something of their own to do, so they didn’t chat until two days later. After Xu Zhi finally got an invitation to the fashion show, he sent it to Shi Yi immediately. Only then did the two of them have their first contact after the fabric exhibition exchange.

After that, in order to make a name for herself at the fashion show, Shi Yi would often ask Xu Zhi for his opinion, and the two of them invited each other out to eat and chat quite often. However, the two of them had never communicated with each other about the design draft because Xu Zhi was also one of the designers invited by the fashion show, so he had to use his design draft to participate as well..
