CHAPTER 49: 049: CONTRACT

"Let me introduce you." Yun Qi nodded with a smile, stood up, spread his hands, and continued, "These two are the designers from the ’Story’ wedding dress design studio. This is Cen Jin, and that is Miss Ye Lingran. Cen Jin, Miss Ye, this is my cousin Yun Xi, who currently holds the position of Design Director at the Yun Group."

"Hello, Director Yun." Cen Jin and Ye Lingran smiled, stood up, and shook hands with her in greeting.

Yun Xi gave a sweet smile and gently shook hands with both of them, "Please just call me by my name! It feels kind of strange to be referred to as Director. My brother mentioned you to me last time, so I specially searched for your studio online. Your wedding dress designs are truly beautiful, and I also really like the name ’Story’ for your studio. I hope we have a pleasant collaboration this time and that I can learn something about wedding dresses from you. If there’s anything I don’t understand, please feel free to guide me."

Yun Xi has always been straightforward, never hiding her thoughts or words, which took Cen Jin and Ye Lingran by surprise. After all, the moment she walked in, they felt an overwhelming presence that indicated she might not be easy to get along with.

"Miss Yun, you’re being too modest. If anyone should be learning, it should be us learning from you." Ye Lingran replied with a gentle smile, calm and unhurried, her delicate gaze drifting to Yun Qi. After a brief pause, she asked again, "I wonder, what kind of collaboration are President Yun and Miss Yun referring to?"

Ye Lingran is naturally a courteous and steady person. When Cen Jin mentioned that Yun Qi wanted to discuss a collaboration, she searched for information on the Yun Group’s design department, having some basic knowledge about Yun Xi. After all, this concerns the interests of the studio, and she wanted to be well-prepared.

In matters of socializing and discussions, Cen Jin usually leaves it to Ye Lingran, so she didn’t speak but instead looked at Yun Qi with curiosity.

"Brother, you haven’t told the young ladies yet?" Yun Xi, a bit surprised, widened her eyes, finding it a bit unbelievable.

Yun Qi gestured for them to sit down, then looked at Cheng Jie. Understanding the cue, Cheng Jie turned, set down the tray, and went to the desk to retrieve the prepared documents to hand to Cen Jin and Ye Lingran. "Miss Nie and Miss Ye will know after reading this."

Cen Jin and Ye Lingran took the documents and seriously perused them, feeling quite surprised. Cen Jin looked at Yun Qi, "Is your company looking to secure this order?"

Yun Qi nodded, "Exactly. This is a great opportunity to expand into Milan. However, in terms of wedding dress elements, our company is somewhat lacking in ideas in this area, so we thought of ’Story.’ Cen Jin, Miss Ye, your designs for wedding dresses always bring a refreshing perspective, and personally, it’s also a new challenge for you. For ’Story,’ the benefits extend beyond that. What do you both think?"

Cen Jin pursed her red lips, turned her head to exchange a glance with Ye Lingran. Yun Qi chuckled and continued, "Rest assured, the credit for the design and benefits have already been considered." With that, he took another contract from Cheng Jie and handed it to them, "This is the contract. You can review it, and if there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, feel free to raise it."

Cen Jin took the contract and only gave it a cursory glance, trusting Yun Qi’s character in this regard.

"Ladies, don’t hesitate! This is beneficial both publicly and privately, without a single downside! Also, such an excellent opportunity shouldn’t be missed! Cheng Jie, bring a pen quickly, or the ladies might regret it if we’re any later." Seeing their hesitation, Yun Xi couldn’t help but directly grab the pen from Cheng Jie and press it into their hands, smiling cheerfully, "Sign it! Ladies, I wish us a happy collaboration and please guide us more."
