"This is my costume design draft for this cover..." Xi Liu arrived at the hotel on time as agreed, handed the design draft to Qin Leyan, and introduced it, "Does Miss Qin have any suggestions?"

Qin Leyan looked at the design draft in his hand for a long time, put it away and put it in the bag: "I will seriously consider the design draft of you two, it's getting late, why not eat first." After realizing it, Qin Leyan had already invited An Ran and his party in, so she didn't say anything else.

He said it was a meal, but it turned out that it was just a meal. After Qin Leyan accepted the design drafts of the two, he stopped mentioning this matter. Xi Liu tried to ask something, but was distracted by her.

Xiliu was a little depressed. After talking with An Ran for so long, why didn't she have any problems at all?

"Xiaoxi, do you want to walk together?"

The meal was quite pleasant, except that Xiliu was a little depressed, Qin Leyan came out with them, and when Xiliu was about to get in the car and go back together, Qin Leyan called to stop her.

Xiliu looked at An Ran, hesitated for a few seconds and then shook her head: "No, I..."

"Are you avoiding suspicion?"

Xiliu was speechless, was she trying to avoid suspicion?Yes, she was afraid that after she was selected, people would spread some gossip, so she kept avoiding personal contact with Qin Leyan.

But looking at Qin Leyan's calm eyes, she couldn't speak for sure.After dodging his eyes slightly, he looked at her firmly again.

"You don't need to avoid suspicion." Qin Leyan took a few steps forward, hugged Xiliu, and smiled at An Ran, "I'm wasting your time, Xiliu, I'll stay first."

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go first, and look forward to Miss Qin's reply."

Xiliu wanted to speak but was pinched lightly by Qin Leyan, she stopped struggling and watched them leave, then followed Qin Leyan to a coffee shop.

"I……"

"When you were in the restaurant, didn't you always want to ask me something?" Qin Leyan pushed the coffee in front of Xiliu, "I didn't give you a chance, and I didn't even comment on your design draft. Because At that time there were outsiders, but now it’s just the two of us, so I won’t hide it anymore.”

Xi Liu held the cup, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, her intuition told her that the next words might not be so good.

Sure enough, Qin Leyan opened his mouth slowly, but what he said was more piercing than Han Dong: "No matter whether I made comments at that time, whether I gave you a chance, what kind of questions you asked, I only have one sentence, I will not Use your design draft."

I will not use your design draft.

For a designer, this sentence is a negative, a stamp of failure, and a worse evaluation than an unqualified design draft.

Even though Xiliu had already made enough mental preparations, when she really heard the negative answer, she still couldn't help being disappointed.No, compared to being lost, she now feels that she has been hit.

She has envisioned many scenes and sentences of being eliminated, but she never thought of such a sentence that I will not use your design draft.If there is no comment, this sentence can also be replaced with 'Your design draft is a piece of waste paper, worthless. '

"Are you ok?"

Xi Liu wanted to raise her head, but felt the moisture in her eye sockets. After recovering, she realized that her vision was blurred. She could only continue to maintain her current posture, even blinking cautiously.

In fact, being denied is the normal state of an intern designer. Before entering the current design department, she was also an intern in the general design department. Every nine to five, she and her seniors meet with clients and make design drafts.

I can't remember the number of times I was scolded. There were critics, all kinds of dissatisfaction, different things every day, and there were even people who had to be scolded every time they met to submit a manuscript.

At first, she would cry bitterly under the covers because of being scolded, but she gradually got used to it, and her attention changed from the flying judgments and negatives to understanding the needs of customers.

She thought she would no longer shed tears because of those denials, but when the client became Qin Leyan, she still couldn't help it...

The cranky thoughts were pulled back by a tissue, Xiliu subconsciously covered the tissue, a large piece was soaked with tears.Qin Leyan sighed slightly, and patted Xiliu on the shoulder: "I'll go to checkout first, you wait here."

"Ah."

When the sound of Qin Leyan's footsteps faded away, Xiliu panted hurriedly, took a few breaths of air, wiped away her tears indiscriminately, and took deep breaths to adjust her emotions.

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"go home."

·

Xiliu sat on the sofa with her pillow in her arms, the blush from crying still remained at the end of her eyes, and she shrank awkwardly.Qin Leyan came out with a fruit plate, put it on the tea table, sat next to Xi Liu and hugged her: "Are you still crying?"

"I didn't cry!" Xiliu stared at Qin Leyan fiercely, and then thought of that sentence again, her grievance surged up, her fierce look dissipated instantly, and her mouth was flattened again, "Bad guy."

"Am I a villain again?" Qin Leyan pinched the tip of Xiliu's nose, "If you have anything to say or ask, just ask."

"Is my design really that bad? I don't even have any comments on revisions." Xiliu was not reconciled. No matter how bad her drawing was, ESIO agreed with it. How could it be so bad that she didn't even have any suggestions for revisions.

"It's not bad, but it's true that there is no revision opinion. As Qin Leyan, I will not use your design draft and I have nothing to comment on. It is really inappropriate from the inside to the outside. As a girlfriend, I like your design very much, whether it is the style or the design concept, it is very attractive to me."

"Where is it inappropriate?"

Qin Leyan took out Xiliu's design draft: "The theme revolves around summer, what do you think of in summer? Heat, coolness, vitality, leisure, beach, ice, sunshine, sex...these can all be the theme of summer. "

"Of course, your selection and creation did not deviate from the theme, and it is very appropriate to the theme, but you have to know that a qualified design draft must fit all aspects."

"Do you think this design draft is really suitable for me?" Qin Leyan held up Xi Liu's draft, "I'm already 30 years old, I'm not your [-]-something youth, do you really think this kind of clothing is suitable for me? "

"Do you think this kind of color scheme is suitable for the cover of a magazine? Your audience is adults, mature adults with a high quality of life, not young people who are full of vitality in adolescence."

Xiliu pursed her lips and said nothing, she couldn't refute, everything Qin Leyan said was right, she was wrong from the beginning.Her design only fits the theme, but ignores the most important object - the model.

"sorry."

"You don't need to say sorry to me." Qin Leyan kissed Xiliu's forehead, "Xiliu, you said you want to grow up, and it has been nearly two years now, do you think you have grown up?"

Xiliu was stunned, she seemed unable to answer this question, did she grow up?What counts as growth?

Can you face obstacles in life alone?She doesn't seem to be doing well.

Is it able to withstand the pressure?She can't do it either, Qin Leyan just said a true and non-serious sentence before, which made her cry.

"You can't answer, because you don't know what growth is. Your hard work has paid off, and your painting skills are more mature and excellent than before, but is your goal just like that?"

"You said you wanted to stand by my side, just like me. I thought you wanted to be a mature adult first, so do you think you are a mature adult? Or, do you think you are an adult now? ?”

Xiliu bit her lips and did not answer, but Qin Leyan kept staring at her eyes, so she had to answer the question: "No. But I am trying to change myself..."

"A person's growth is not only about ability, but also interpersonal relationship, vision, and experience, all of which are indispensable. Your ability is already very strong, but you are still at the level of a year ago in other aspects, and have not improved at all. .”

"Xi Liu, I don't know if An Ran has taught you, don't fix your life in a frame, painting is not the whole of your life, you haven't reached the realm of a great painter, you can't leave society prematurely, Immerse yourself in the painting."

"Don't waste your talent too early."

·

Xiliu and Qin Leyan went back after eight o'clock, and Anran looked at her in disbelief as soon as they entered the room: "You, you, why are you back?"

Xi Liu looked at her suspiciously: "Why can't I come back? Your reaction is very strange. You won't be hiding people secretly."

"Are there any Tibetans, no, you don't want to stay with your girlfriend for one night? Isn't there an old saying that a little friend is better than a newlywed?" An Ran didn't understand, but Xiliu came back. She hadn't seen her for more than a year, so it shouldn't be difficult. Is it hard to give up, "You can't do it."

"You can't!" Xi Liu threw the pillow over, "I didn't say anything to her."

"What did you talk about? Why do I feel that you are a little depressed now."

"It's not so sluggish. It's just that I'm a little disappointed." Xiliu took out the design draft and put it on the bedside table. "She doesn't need my design draft. She has already decided to ask for yours."

Looking at the design draft on the bedside table, An Ran couldn't even say words of comfort, what could she say?Said there is still a chance?Even the design draft has been returned, so what chance is there?

"You don't need to comfort me, she has already comforted me, this time, I really failed." Xi Liu was relieved, her nonsensical efforts have now been abandoned, and she has a clearer direction, "I want to understand, I can't just focus on painting, I should go out and see more, understand the society, learn more things, and broaden my horizons."

"I went to have a heart-to-heart talk with the two of you."

"What's the problem? I think it's fine. Anyway, she was my guide before I grew up."
