s.h.i.+ Yi and Xu Zhi hadnt seen each other for a long time. Now that they met face to face, she was stunned.

The two of them stared at Xu Zhi for a long time before remembering to greet each other. s.h.i.+ Yi, long time no see.

s.h.i.+ Yis heart was in turmoil, but she clenched her fists and calmed down. Then, she replied in a calm tone, Long time no see.

Seeing that everyone was there, w.a.n.g Jiao welcomed them warmly. Its been a long time since the three of us sat in the same room. Then, she saw Yuan Shu, who came with s.h.i.+ Yi, and hurriedly greeted her. h.e.l.lo, Madam s.h.i.+. Seeing is believing. Youre even more beautiful and elegant than the rumors say you are.

Yuan Shu had heard this compliment many times, but w.a.n.g Jiao was sincere. When she spoke, she looked into Yuan Shus eyes seriously, as if she was really admiring Yuan Shus beauty.

No wonder s.h.i.+ Yi was so close to w.a.n.g Jiao despite s.h.i.+ Yis arrogant personality. When people interacted with w.a.n.g Jiao, she would make people forget their family background and feel that it was an interaction between ordinary people.

s.h.i.+ Yis expression was a little stiff, but she forced a smile and asked, Sister w.a.n.g, you said that theres good material. Wheres the material?

w.a.n.g Jiao said, Youre still as impatient as ever. Ive already prepared it for you.

w.a.n.g Jiao walked to the table in the reception room. There was a wooden box wrapped in cloth on the table. After w.a.n.g Jiao lifted the cloth and opened the wooden box, she carefully opened another layer of cloth before the brocade inside was revealed.

The layers of packaging were enough to show how expensive this batch of cloth was.

When Yuan Shu saw the light and dark patterns reflected by the silver threads intertwined on the cloth, she felt that it seemed familiar. This cloth seemed to be silk fabric that could only be made by the craftsman of the palace in the past. The embroidery patterns also required a lot of time to make.

When s.h.i.+ Yi saw such good fabric, she couldnt help but feel amazed and surprise flashed across her eyes.

For a fas.h.i.+on designer, good fabric was something that could only be chanced upon by luck. A piece of fabric could even stimulate the designers unlimited creative desire. Fabric, like models, was called the source of their inspiration.

When w.a.n.g Jiao saw the amazement in everyones eyes, she said in satisfaction, I obtained this piece of cloth by chance. Actually, I couldnt bear to take it out today, but I wanted to see you guys compete even more. The two of you are my favorite students and friends.

Compet.i.tion? s.h.i.+ Yi couldnt help but repeat. However, it was obvious that Xu Zhi wasnt surprised by this.

w.a.n.g Jiao explained, Xu Zhi told me that he got a partic.i.p.ation ticket for an international design fas.h.i.+on show and wants to compete with you. The winner will obtain this ticket.

This was an international fas.h.i.+on compet.i.tion. If they could win an award in this compet.i.tion, it meant that the designers fas.h.i.+on design career would thrive. Any fas.h.i.+on designer would be tempted by such a ticket.

Xu Zhi continued, s.h.i.+ Yi, the two of us will design a gown for each other and the winner will get this ticket. How about that?

s.h.i.+ Yi looked at him. This face was still as familiar as she remembered, but his gaze had become unfamiliar and no longer as innocent as before.

s.h.i.+ Yi rejected him. Theres no need to compete. Since you were the one who got the ticket, of course you have to go yourself.

However, Xu Zhi said firmly, I promised to give you a ticket to the fas.h.i.+on exhibition, so 111 definitely do it. I know that with your temper, you definitely wont accept it, so lets compete and rely on abilities to win this ticket.

s.h.i.+ Yi recalled the first time the two of them met. Xu Zhi said that he would watch s.h.i.+ Yi standing on the stage of the international fas.h.i.+on design compet.i.tion. It turned out that he remembered everything

s.h.i.+ Yi clenched her fists and said firmly, No need.

After s.h.i.+ Yi finished speaking, she wanted to pull Yuan Shu away, but Xu Zhi stopped her. s.h.i.+ Yi, do you not want to compete with me, or do you not dare to design clothes for me?

Xu Zhi understood s.h.i.+ Yis temper, so he provoked s.h.i.+ Yi by saying that she didnt dare to. s.h.i.+ Yi turned around and looked at Xu Zhi, her eyes burning with anger. Alright, lets compete! But theres no point in designing clothes for each other. You and 1 are proficient in different things. Why dont we design clothes for others and see whose design is praised more?!

Okay. Whos your model?

My sister-in-law.

Then Ill choose my cousin, Jiang Chen..
