CHAPTER 51: 051: LOOKING AT EACH OTHER AND SMILING

After hanging up the phone with Jiang Baizhou, she walked into the restaurant and saw Yun Qi coming out. Cen Jin paused for a few seconds before walking over again and asked with a soft smile, "What’s up?"

"I saw you didn’t come up, so I came out to check. Is everything okay?" Yun Qi replied with a warm smile.

"Uh... I just got a call, sorry about that..."

"No worries, let’s go sit down! See what you want to eat."

"Okay."

After they sat down, Yun Qi pushed another menu on the table to her. Sitting opposite them, Yun Xi propped her chin with one hand, casually flipping through the menu in front of her, while her eyes kept glancing in their direction. Her elegant brows raised slightly, as if she had noticed something on Yun Qi’s handsome and gentle smiling face, but she didn’t seem like she was going to say anything.

After ordering, Yun Xi looked at the always gentle and quiet Ye Lingran and curiously asked, "Ling Ran, I saw a very beautiful Korean-style wedding dress on ’Story’s’ website a few days ago. It had your name on it, right? Can I take a look tomorrow?"

"If Miss Yun likes it, of course you can."

"Didn’t I tell you already? Just call me by my name! We’re going to be collaborating for three months, don’t make it so formal!"

Ye Lingran nodded with a smile, "Okay."

"Yun Xi, you seem quite interested in wedding dresses?" Cen Jin looked at her enthusiastic expression and asked with a smile.

Yun Xi nodded vigorously, "Yeah! You know, I’m kind of regretting now why I didn’t choose wedding dress design back then but chose fashion design instead. Recently, I’ve been searching for a lot of videos and books on wedding dress design online, but I always feel like something is missing in the conception. The wedding dresses on your website are truly stunning, no wonder my brother praises your studio highly, saying there’s a 90% chance of success in collaborating with you."

Cen Jin looked at Yun Qi in surprise and teased with a smile, "Didn’t expect President Yun to have such a high opinion of our studio; it’s really flattering."

"’Story’ is quite renowned here in Nancheng, not lower than our Yun Family. Your design and craftsmanship are indeed top-notch." Yun Qi was never stingy with praise. He truly admired Cen Jin and Ye Lingran’s talent in design and had once considered poaching them for the company. However, there is a certain difference between fashion and wedding dresses, and both of them are very independent thinkers, so they would surely refuse, and thus he didn’t bring it up.

Wedding dress design mainly has five styles: the most traditional style, the Japanese style, the Korean romantic and aesthetic style, the French romantic and sexy style, and the youthful, academic fairy tale style.

Cen Jin and Ye Lingran can easily switch between these five styles, each having their own unique style. Their versatility in wedding dresses has made ’Story’ increasingly famous in Nancheng. Many from other places come from afar to have a unique wedding dress and happiness tailored for them here.

"President Yun, you’re being too modest and polite. We’re just a small studio; how can we compare with the Yun Family?"

"Yes! But we’re still very grateful for you giving our small studio such a good opportunity," Cen Jin echoed Ye Lingran’s words, raised her water glass with a smile, "I toast you with water instead of wine."

Seeing her holding the water glass, Yun Qi chuckled, shook his head helplessly, and also raised his cup to gently clink glasses with hers, "Among friends, there’s no need for thanks."

"Do you guys have to be so formal? Can’t you chat more freely and normally? It’s hard to watch. Oh, the food is here, I’m starving," Yun Xi pouted, unable to stop herself from commenting as she listened to their mutual politeness.

All three of them exchanged a smile at her words.
