Republic of China Designer [Transmigration Book]

On this day, Xia Jinting was packing up the shelves when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Young Master Song, welcome."

He turned around and saw that Song Kailin was wearing a white suit with a light blue tie around the collar.

Song Kailin looked around and walked straight towards Xia Jinting with a soft smile on his face: "Mr. Xia, do you work here?"

Every time Xia Jinting sees Song Kailin, he feels like a huge white lotus blooms in front of him. It looks gentle and harmless on the surface, but poisonous juice seeps inside.

The best way to deal with such a person is to hit a straight ball: "As you can see."

"That's just right, I want to make a suit, show it for me." Song Kailin took out a month card from his suit pocket, on which was a picture of a man in a light blue suit with a white rose pinned to his chest.

Xia Jinting frowned and said, "I can't do it."

"Can't do it? How could it be?" Song Kailin's eyes widened, "Yimingfang is the leading suit shop in Haicheng. Didn't my cousin recruit you because of your talent?"

Look at what I said, first questioning Xia Jinting's ability, and second questioning the relationship between Xia Jinting and Gu Que, which is full of lethality.

Sure enough, as soon as Song Kailin finished speaking, everyone in the store looked at Xia Jinting with subtlety.

"I mean, the picture is wrong, so the clothes can't be made." Xia Jinting said bluntly.

Song Kailin looked surprised, frowned and said, "But this painting was made by Qi Xuan..."

In the minds of Haicheng people, Qi Xuan is Ma Liang with a magic brush and a superb painter. Song Kailin means that there is no problem with painting, but Xia Jinting has problems.

Unexpectedly, Xia Jinting was not intimidated by Qi Xuan's name, but instead sneered: "It was made by Qi Xuan, so what?"

Seeing Song Kailin's puzzled expression, Xia Jinting raised his voice: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Song studied design when he was studying abroad."

Song Kailin nodded unsuspectingly.

"That's weird, don't you know that clothing renderings can't be compared with ordinary illustrations?" Xia Jinting asked sincerely.

Song Kailin's face turned pale, and he said softly: "Mr. Qi's painting has good details, it should be fine if you follow it..."

"The details are good? Didn't you see that the human body is distorted? The folds of the clothes are not drawn, and the key elements are missing. Can you try to do it?" If an ordinary customer said such a thing, Xia Jinting would not be angry. But Song Kailin was different. When he was studying abroad, he majored in design. There was no reason why he didn't know the difference between clothing renderings and ordinary illustrations. Holding an illustration and clamoring to make clothes, it was clearly Sima Zhao's heart.

Song Kailin didn't expect Xia Jinting to attack suddenly, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he squeezed out an ugly smile: "Sorry, I just... just made a joke."

The scene was very embarrassing for a while, Zhou Hou knew that Song Kailin was the cousin of the big boss, so he had already planned to flatter him, so he saw the opportunity and shouted at Xia Jinting: "Young Master Song is a guest, what is your attitude?!"

"I'm just telling the truth. Master Zhou disagrees, but he must be confident that he can make the suits on this month's card. Then I'll wait and see." Xia Jinting replied while digging a hole for Zhou Hou.

"This... this..." Zhou Hou was so blocked that he couldn't speak, his face flushed and he said, "I...can't do it either, why don't Song Shao find another master?"

The two big-tailed wolves wanted to embarrass Xia Jinting, but unexpectedly they fell into the pit. Zhou Hou and Song Kailin looked at each other, speechless.

Song Kailin didn't want to stay in Yimingfang as a joke, so he prevaricated a few words and left with an excuse.

As soon as he left, Zhou Hou started to play tricks again, and smiled maliciously: "You know the identity of Young Master Song, but he is the third master's cousin, if you offend him, you will definitely not be able to eat it!"

It was Gu Que again, a trace of impatience flashed in Xia Jinting's eyes, if his emotions could be expressed through numbers at this moment, there would definitely be a row of "favorite -10" on his forehead.

Every time something has something to do with Gu Que, it must be bad.If Mr. Gu is a lucky star to him, Gu Que is a perfect disaster star.

Song Kailin originally wanted to make things difficult for Xia Jinting by making clothes, but later found an excuse to get the steward to fire Xia Jinting, but he didn't expect that Xia Jinting turned against the general and lost face in front of others.

He could still maintain his demeanor outside, and when he got home, he vented his anger with teapots and cups, and smashed everything in the room to pieces.

"Oh, my son, what are you doing!" Song Kailin's biological mother, Lan Shi, was startled by the movement as soon as she entered the room.

Song Kailin kept venting his anger: "Xia, what are you, you dare to face me in front of others?!"

Lan looked at her son worriedly. She was used to Song Kailin's temperament. On the surface, she looked gentle, docile, and reasonable, but in private she had a different face.

Lan himself is aloof from the world, so he gave birth to such a son.

Song Kailin had a fit, grabbed Lan's hand suddenly, and said in a loud voice: "Mother, go and ask my aunt to let me enter Yimingfang!"

Lan frowned and said: "It's very good, what to do to make such a fuss." Song Kailin was determined, and Lan slackened his words before giving up.

----------

Gu Que sat behind the table, listening intently to the assistant's report.

"Song Kailin went to Yimingfang today." The assistant was very well informed.

"What is he going to do?" Gu Que quickly browsed through the documents at hand, and signed them after confirming that they were correct.

"On the surface, it's making clothes."

"On the surface? What about the reality?" Gu Que glanced at the assistant.

"Song Kailin is going after Mr. Xia." The assistant has followed Gu Que for many years and understands the boss's mind best, so he only picks the key points to report.

Hearing this, Gu Que put down his pen and finally gathered his energy: "How is the battle going?"

"Song Kailin was scolded by Mr. Xia in public and ran away."

"Interesting." Gu Que chuckled, and took the brocade box on the table. Inside the brocade box was a set of ruler drawing tools.

This is the birthday gift that Gu Que prepared for Xia Jinting.

When Xia Jinting arrived home, Gu Que was busy in the kitchen as usual. If he hadn't known that Mr. Gu was a real estate developer, Xia Jinting would probably regard him as the "house husband".

Today's dishes are all Xia Jinting's favorite, but the staple food has been replaced with a bowl of egg noodles.

The eggs are red, Xia Jinting was stunned: "Is someone's birthday today?"

"Shouxing even forgot his birthday?" Gu Que looked at him with a smile.

Looking at the red egg, Xia Jinting felt mixed emotions in his heart, he really forgot, or in other words, he really didn't know when the original owner's birthday was.

A child without a mother is like a grass, even in the Xia family, no one celebrates the original owner's birthday.

Unexpectedly, the first birthday since transmigrating the book was actually helped by Mr. Gu.

"Are you still used to the new job?"

"It's okay, I can handle it." Xia Jinting smiled.

Gu Que: "Is someone making things difficult for you?"

Xia Jinting: "If someone makes things difficult for me, will Mr. Gu stand up for me?"

Gu Que: "Of course."

Gu Que's tone was so natural that Xia Jinting didn't know how to answer the words for a while.

After a while, he shook his head: "No one made things difficult for me, but Mr. Gu, why... treat me so well?"

Mr. Gu has helped him many times since he was in the book. Xia Jinting is an adult who has been polished by society, so he naturally knows that there will be no good things for no reason in this world.

However, Gu Que's words and deeds were too open and aboveboard, Xia Jinting felt offended even by speculating on his thoughts unilaterally.

"We are destined." Gu Que's answer was ambiguous.

Of course they are predestined, they have the fate of being friends, and the blessing of being confidants, Xia Jinting dare not think about the rest.

He raised his glass first to conceal his ups and downs: "Thank you!"

Gu Que pushed the brocade box in front of Xia Jinting: "There is no need to thank you between us."

Xia Jinting drank up all the wine in his glass before mustering up the courage to open the brocade box. The moment he saw the curved ruler, he was both surprised and delighted.

The curved ruler is a special tool for drawing curves in cutting design drawings. Xia Jinting remembers that there was no such auxiliary tool in the domestic market during the Republic of China. Mr. Gu must have found a way to get it from abroad.

This is the most thoughtful birthday gift that Xia Jinting has ever received. It may not be as precious as gold and silver in the eyes of others, but Xia Jinting can appreciate the intention behind the curved ruler.

Xia Jinting, who received the birthday gift, was immersed in excitement, unknowingly drank a few more glasses, and the blush gradually crept up his cheeks.

At this moment, the phone in the living room rang, and Gu Que got up to answer it.

The call was from Gu Que's stepmother, Lan Shi. The two hadn't spoken for a long time, and they were very strange to each other.

"How are you?"

For this eldest son in name, Lan's fear is more than closeness. She has not read many books, and she is not as capable as Gu Que's biological mother, Jiang Wanqiu. Since the birth of Gu En, her life has revolved around her husband and son all day long.When Gu Que was brought back home, he was already sensible, and Lan knew the truth that the child would not be familiar with it when he was older, so he didn't want to spend much time on Gu Que.But after all, it is a family in name, and they are still kind to each other.

"Speak directly." Gu Que heard the noise from the dining room, worried that Xia Jinting was drunk.

"Kailin has already graduated, see if you can... arrange an errand for him in Yimingfang?" Lan asked tentatively.

Gu Que was surprised, Song Kailin had finished making a fuss in Yimingfang with his front foot, and then he had to rely on his connections to enter Yimingfang.

"Your cousin wants to go to Yimingfang with all his heart. For my sake, please help him." Lan's seldom interacts with Gu Que on weekdays. When encountering things, he always asks Gu Cheng. Only Gu Que can take charge of Mingfang.

"The design Kailin learned abroad will definitely help you. If it doesn't work, you can just send him back." Lan tried her best to persuade, for fear that Gu Que would not agree.

Although Lan is not Gu Que's biological mother, after all, the two have lived together for a long time, and there is still some affection after all. Thinking that Lan has never asked for anything before, Gu Que sighed softly: "Give it a try, but Yimingfang has the rules of Yimingfang, if he causes trouble and doesn't abide by the rules, I will definitely fire him."

Gu Que can probably guess Song Kailin's intentions in entering Yimingfang. His cousin in name is proud and arrogant. Seeing Xia Jinting enter Yimingfang this time, he is unwilling to be inferior to others.

However, although Song Kailin has a high spirit, his strength is not good. When he meets a straight ball player like Xia Jinting, he will definitely not be able to take advantage of it.
