Shi Yi stared at his fluttering eyelashes.

She had only known Xu Zhi for half a month, but she felt a sense of familiarity, as if they had known each other for a few years. For example, at this moment, his eyelashes were trembling slightly, so she knew that he was very tempted by this invitation.

Hence, Shi Yi didn’t ask further. Instead, she leaned against the seat and focused on looking out of the window.

When the car stopped at the entrance of Z University, Xu Zhi said, “I’ll consider it.” Then, he got out of the car.

Shi Yi smiled and said goodbye to him. “I’ll send you the clothes after washing them tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

At noon the next day, Xu Zhi received a call from home saying that there were guests at home and they asked him to go home for a home-cooked meal.

After tidying up, Xu Zhi remembered that Shi Yi had said she would send his clothes today, so he sent Shi Yi a message. [I have something on today, so 1 won’t be in school.]

After receiving the reply, Xu Zhi rushed home immediately. The guests were already there.

Although they were guests, they were still considered Xu Zhi’s family.

The people who came were Xu Zhi’s uncle’s family, his cousin Xu Xin, Xu Lang, and cousin-in-law Jiang Heng. As the only child of the Xu family’s second branch, people had high hopes for Xu Xin.

Xu Zhi’s father hoped that he could learn pany management and manage the pany in the future to inherit the family business. However, Xu Zhi resolutely chose fashion design and even fell out with his family for a long time over this matter.

When Xu Zhi rushed back, the food was already placed on the dining table. Everyone was already in position, leaving only an empty seat for Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi hurriedly took the towel from the servant and wiped his hands clean before sitting down at the dining table. Only then did the home-cooked meal officially begin.

Xu Zhi’s eldest uncle’s family must have specifically e for Xu Zhi today because they kept asking about Xu Zhi’s work throughout the meal.

First, his cousin-in-law, Jiang Heng, asked, “Cousin, you’ll be graduating in June this year, right?”

Xu Zhi hurriedly swallowed the spicy beef in his mouth and looked into Jiang Heng’s eyes as he replied, “Yes, I’m currently in the midst of applying for graduation.”

Xu Xin picked up a piece of fungus and placed it on Jiang Heng’s plate. Then, she said, “Then you’ve probably thought about where you want to work, right? I heard that your mentor is Wang Jiao from the Wang Corporation. She’s very good at designing clothes. Are you planning to continue following her?”

Xu Zhi and Shi Yi had just discussed this question last night, so it was very easy to answer it.

Xu Zhi replied, “Madam Wang has already invited me, but I think the Wang Corporation has too many outstanding designers. Even if I go, it’ll be very difficult for me to showcase my skills. Now, there are a few other panies that have invited me. I’m still considering it.”

“Oh really?” Xu Xin continued to ask, “But entering the Wang Corporation is an affirmation of your ability. Not everyone can enter the Wang Corporation just because they want to.”

Jiang Heng interrupted her. “You don’t understand. Clothing designers don’t rely on time to accumulate experience. They rely on their work. There are so many outstanding designers in the Wang family, so Xu Zhi’s designs might be very difficult to adopt.”

Xu Lang added, “Yes, and 1 heard that at the fashion show last night, Xu Zhi won first place in men’s clothing design. There must be many people extending offers to him, and there must be many outstanding panies, right?”

As he said the last sentence, Xu Lang looked at Xu Zhi, obviously waiting for his answer.

Xu Zhi explained humbly, “There are a few good panies, and of course, there are also a few new panies, but I’m not in a hurry to answer them now. Anyway, there’s still some time before graduation, so I can carefully figure out the development of these panies.”

Jiang Heng nodded, expressing his affirmation of Xu Zhi’s words. Then, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. “By the way, your cousin Xu Lang has just bought over a pany, Down Ridge Clothes Workshop. It’s a shortage of people now.. Why don’t you go to his pany for an internship?”
