Chapter 3: Flirting With Food (1)

After arriving home, Ji Qingying bent over to change her shoes into slippers.

Chen Xinyu on the other hand casually took off her shoes and left them at the door, then turned back to look at Ji Qingying.

The beauty in a cheongsam, when wearing slippers, even her movements were elegant and graceful.

She stared at the curves of her friend’s body for a few seconds and stroked her chin, “That Dr. Fu was very cold, though.”

Ji Qingying looked up at her.

Chen Xinyu curled her lips and smiled, “But he indeed looks really handsome.”

Hearing that, Ji Qingying raised her eyebrows and said confidently, “Of course, my vision has always been good.”

Chen Xinyu was speechless.

“How sure are you about this?”

Ji Qingying smiled, she put their shoes into the shoe cabinet, went into the kitchen to wash her hands, and tied up her hair in passing, before saying, “Ninety percent!”

She shouldn’t be too full of herself.

Chen Xinyu really admired her for the level of confidence she had.

If anyone else were to say this, Chen Xinyu might think that she was quite narcissistic or just blindly confident, but when coming from Ji Qingying’s mouth, she just somehow believed that her friend was capable of it.

Watching her like this, Chen Xinyu suddenly remembered an incident.

When they were still in college, they had participated in a design competition. Right on the night before the competition, Ji Qingying’s work that she had been carefully preparing for a month was sabotaged by someone, making the original model not discernible when it was cut.

At the time, she and her other best friend were so desperate, frustrated and angry, that they bluntly stated that they would check the surveillance camera and call the teacher to investigate.

After listening to the two of them, Ji Qingying took Chen Xinyu’s phone and said calmly, “This is not the time to check the surveillance cameras.”

She looked at her ruined work and pursed the corners of her lips, “How about staying up all night with me? We’ll talk about the rest after it’s over.”

The two girls were stunned.

She raised an eyebrow and smiled with confidence, “I just got new inspiration, let’s hurry up and we should be able to get it out before the competition.”

That night.

Ji Qingying designed a new sketch, cut and tailored it herself, and made a new skirt out of it.

At that time, that pretty much D-1 made skirt won first place.

It was also from that time that Chen Xinyu suddenly believed that this seemingly beautiful and harmless girl had a unique ability.

As long as she said the words, she would be able to accomplish it 100%.

It was true for being a designer, and the same would go when pursuing a guy.

Emotions couldn’t be forced, but judging by tonight’s situation, she had a chance of succeeding.

What’s more, the two of them had just found out part of Fu Yanzhi’s circumstances from the mouths of doctors and nurses in that gathering——

This guy had never had a girlfriend, not even having a romantic interest.

Of course, there were many suitors, but they were all left frozen by Dr. Fu’s cold character.

“You have my full support regardless.”

Ji Qingying smiled broadly, “Thank you.”

“By the way, where are you going to live?”

Chen Xinyu continued, “Actually, I think you should just stay at my place, my boyfriend is on a business trip anyway.”

Ji Qingying shook her head, “I have taken this job, and my hectic schedule is indefinite, it will affect your normal routine at work.”

Chen Xinyu knew about some of her minor problems and didn’t force it, “Then I’ll have my friend help look for a place for you.”

“Ok.”

Both of them then washed up and rested early.

As for Fu Yanzhi, Ji Qingying was not in a hurry. She had to take her time to eat hot tofu, not worried the slightest.

–
The next day, Ji Qingying had a meeting with the film director.

“The Long Years” was a nationalistic film, not a fresh idea for a theme, but still a good story.

As a gesture of sincerity, the director even showed her part of the script in advance.

To be honest, Ji Qingying was a little tempted, but it wasn’t enough to make her take the job which would be very demanding.

The sincerity shown by the director was genuine, and he didn’t mention anything about making sure she took the job, he just invited her to come over and talk about it and stop by to see the location they had set up for the shooting.

So here she was.

When Ji Qingying arrived at the agreed location, Director Guan and the screenwriter had already arrived.

Director Guan looked at her with a smile, “Teacher Ji.”

Ji Qingying smiled and looked at the two in front of him, “Director Guan, just call me my name, I wouldn’t dare to use that title.”

Nodding his head, Director Guan asked quietly, “How does it feel to be here?”

This would be the place where Director Guan had set up as the town in the film, a very nationalist style.

Both the architectural and the surrounding buildings would give you the illusion of being in that era.

Ji Qingying became dazed as she felt the atmosphere of the place and didn’t speak.

Director Guan gave her a sidelong glance and said with a smile, “Ms. Ji, have you ever thought of having an actor wear a costume you designed and perform in front of the audience, then have the people know that you are the one who had created the wonderful cheongsam.”

He paused and continued, “Cheongsams have been out of fashion for a long time, doesn’t Miss Ji want this fashion culture, which is gradually being forgotten, to once again be popular?”

Certainly.

How could she not want to?
