936: Chapter 936: Sudden Incident 936: Chapter 936: Sudden Incident After lunch, Ye Qiu returned to his room.
Just as he was about to play on the computer, he noticed it was his father, Ye Weidong, calling.
International phone calls are expensive; in the past, Ye Weidong would have been reluctant to make such a call.
Seeing his father’s na on the screen, Ye Qiu assud it was about the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant’s branch.
“Dad, what’s the matter?”
“There’s trouble at the restaurant.
When are you coming back?”
“What kind of trouble?”
On the phone, Ye Weidong explained everything in great detail.
Ye Qiu hadn’t expected to run into this kind of problem so soon.
Of course, he could call Li Qianqian directly and have her father resolve it with just one phone call.
But Ye Qiu didn’t want to owe Li Zhiguo another favor, especially since it wouldn’t be appropriate for Li Zhiguo, the mayor, to get involved in such matters.
“Dad, I’m coming back soon.
I’ll deal with it when I get ho.
In the anti, feel free to shut down the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant temporarily if needed.”
Ye Qiu replied.
Since they had the audacity to stir up trouble for him, Ye Qiu certainly wouldn’t let those people off easily.
“Co back quickly, then.”
After hanging up the call with Ye Weidong, Ye Qiu sighed helplessly.
It seed the world was still full of greedy people.
When he left his room and went to Zhou Wenting’s, he found Zhou Wenting and Helena playing on the computer together.
The two won didn’t speak the sa language and couldn’t communicate.
When Zhou Wenting saw Ye Qiu approaching, she asked, “Ye Qiu, are we going sowhere to have fun?”
“There’s been an incident in Jinling.
We’re planning to go back ho earlier than expected.”
Ye Qiu had planned to wait until the first ferntation of the wine was complete before returning ho, but now, with this sudden developnt, it seed he had no choice but to leave early.
“What happened?”
“The matter with the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant.”
“Let check flights for you.”
Zhou Wenting opened the airline ticket website and quickly found flights departing for Jinling tonight or tomorrow.
“There are flights available tonight or tomorrow.”
“Let’s go tomorrow!”
Zhou Wenting booked the flight tickets in advance.
“Ye Qiu, what’s going on?”
Helena ca over and asked.
“Helena, I’m planning to go back to Jinling tomorrow.
You can either continue vacationing here or return to Sicily yourself.”
“So soon?”
Helena hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to leave so quickly.
Of course, she wanted to go to Jinling with Ye Qiu, but it wasn’t possible without a visa.
Even if she boarded the plane, she’d eventually have to return to her country, making the trip futile.
She resolved to wait for another opportunity to visit Jinling.
“Didn’t you want to design so clothes for you?
I’ll sketch them for you now.”
“Of course.”
Helena imdiately followed Ye Qiu to his room.
Once inside Ye Qiu’s room, Helena sat on a chair and waited while Ye Qiu began designing several autumn and winter outfits for her.
“Do you want Paris-inspired designs or Milan-inspired ones?”
The styles from these two fashion capitals are distinct—Paris leans toward luxurious, trendy, and bold designs, while Milan takes a more vintage approach.
Italy and France have very different interpretations of fashion; Italy tends to be more conservative.
“Can I have both?”
Helena asked expectantly.
“Sure.”
Currently, Ye Qiu didn’t have design supplies ready, so he asked an older maid to fetch them from Housekeeper Eugene.
Soon, the maid returned with sketching paper, pencils, and other tools.
When Helena sat down, Ye Qiu glanced at her and imdiately determined her size and the styles that would suit her best.
Sitting at the table, Ye Qiu began sketching designs while Helena watched intently nearby.
Ye Qiu designed outfits ranging from outerwear for autumn and winter to lingerie.
For Paris-inspired designs, he created four pieces, and for Milan-inspired ones, another four pieces.
The eight designs were stunning and carried an ineffable sense of vitality.
The Paris-inspired pieces emphasized fashion, boldness, trendiness, and luxury, while the Milan-inspired ones were vintage, conservative, with hints of Renaissance elegance.
Though the two styles contrasted sharply, both evoked a strong emotional response from the viewer.
“Ye Qiu, these are beautiful!
How did you co up with them?”
“Inspiration, of course.”
Helena hugged Ye Qiu and gave him a kiss, her admiration for him growing even deeper.
It seed like soone as outstanding as Ye Qiu was one-of-a-kind—impossible to find another like him.
As Helena carefully collected the design sketches, Ye Qiu reminded her, “Don’t lose them like Louise did.”
“I won’t.”
When Zhou Wenting entered after Helena, she was also amazed by the clothes Ye Qiu had designed for Helena.
If it had happened just once or twice, Zhou Wenting wouldn’t have thought much of it.
But over ti, she was utterly surprised.
She had no idea how Ye Qiu managed to do all of this.
After all, excelling in one field in a lifeti was already impressive.
Yet Zhou Wenting realized that in every industry she knew about, Ye Qiu was already a leader.
“What about mine?”
She asked.
Since their last conversation, Ye Qiu had yet to design anything for her.
“Wenting, I’ll design yours once we’re back.
How about that?”
“I’m worried you’ll forget as soon as we get ho.”
Zhou Wenting responded sourly.
Ye Qiu chuckled but didn’t say more.
After Helena and Zhou Wenting left his room, Ye Qiu made a call to Louise, who was busy in her CEO office.
Her company had just been established, and there was a lot to handle.
“Ye Qiu, what’s up?”
Louise asked.
“I’m heading back ho tomorrow morning.”
“Didn’t you say it’d be another half month before you left?”
Louise found it strange.
When Ye Qiu first arrived, he had said he’d stay for an entire month.
“Sothing ca up over there that I need to handle.
I’ll co back next ti.”
“Alright, I’ll head to the Eastern Castle tonight.”
After hanging up with Louise, Ye Qiu stared at the view outside the window, which included the sprawling estate, before turning his attention back to his desk.
Sitting down, Ye Qiu decided to sketch more autumn and winter designs for Louise’s newly founded company, ensuring she had them before he left.
Around seven in the evening, Louise returned in her red BMW, where Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting were waiting for her.
After parking her car and stepping out, Louise asked, “Ye Qiu, do you really need to leave so urgently?”
“My dad can’t handle it.
Only I can resolve it when I get back.”
Hearing this, Louise didn’t press further.
After washing up, she joined them for dinner.
Later that evening, she followed Ye Qiu to his room.
“Louise, here are so new clothing designs.”
Louise was astonished Ye Qiu had designed so many pieces so quickly.
