Chapter 484: Low-Profile Miss Tang
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi walked gracefully into the elevator and went to Floor 4. As the elevator was transparent, she could see that all the designers were as busy as bees, except those who were receiving the customers. Seeing this scene, Tang Xi smiled in satisfaction. It seemed that she was going to succeed!
As the elevator stopped at Floor 4, Tang Xi went to Chu Ling’s office. Chu Ling took a look at Tang Xi and continued with his work.
Tang Xi was already used to Chu Ling’s indifferent attitude. She casually sat opposite of Chu Ling and asked, “Have you found a suitable new office building?”
“Not yet. I think we can rent the neighboring building and take this building as The Queen’s headquarters.” Chu Ling looked at Tang Xi. “Then we don’t have to bother with moving.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. She had no problem with this proposal. The space in this building was enough for them if they didn’t have so many customers. But now the customers had to wait in the lobby, so they needed a larger place. If they rented the neighboring building, they could receive customers in that building and provide special services to VIP customers who had spent at least one million Yuan on The Queen’s products.
“You can go talk to the owner. If there are no problems, you can just rent it. As for the rental, it’s up to you,” Tang Xi said. She took out a design drawing from her handbag and handed it to Chu Ling. “Have a look at this design drawing. It’s called ‘Blooming Flowers’.”
Chu Ling took a look at the design drawing and raised his eyebrows. “A wedding dress?”
Tang Ling smiled and Chu Ling nodded. “Not bad. Let me have a closer look at it.”

Tang Ling took out her laptop and showed him the digital design drawing, asking, “How do you think of it?”
Chu Ling nodded with a smile. “Very good. You can publish it in our Summer Collection.” Then he glanced at Tang Xi. “Why did you suddenly design a wedding dress?”
Tang Xi and Chu Ling had become friends because of Qiao Liang, so now they would make jokes aimed at each other. Hearing Chu Ling’s question, Tang Xi shrugged. “Of course it’s because I want to get married.”
“Okay, I can tell that to Qiao Liang for you.” Chu Ling put the design drawing into the drawer and laughed. “Anyway, Qiao Liang and his mother can’t wait to make you Qiao Liang’s wife.”
“Unfortunately, it’s not the right time yet.” Tang Ling shook her head in regret and turned her eyes to Chu Ling. “How about you? I heard that you cheated Sister Wanyi into playing as your girlfriend and was slapped by her?”
At the mention of He Wanyi, Chu Ling pursed his lips in embarrassment. “Okay, my bad. But I had to find a way to cope with my father!”
Tang Xi smiled. “Don’t worry. Your Miss Right is waiting for you. Just like Lu Li and Wen Ning. The two are so sweet now.”
“They are an exception. They should have been together ten years ago, but I’m curious about the ending of this Romeo and Juliet.” Chu Ling stroked his chin and looked at Tang Xi. “Why did you come here?”
“Well, I came here to tell you not to accept any orders in the upcoming days. We won’t accept any more orders before the Spring Festival holidays have ended. We haven’t given our employees any holiday so far, so I want to give them a long holiday.” Tang Xi smiled. “You know, I’m a good boss. And you should also go home to visit your family.”

Chu Ling stared at Tang Xi who was smiling like a fox, and narrowed his eyes. “Just for this?”
Tang Ling shrugged, stood up and looked at him. “Of course not. I have good news and bad news for you! Which one would you like to hear first?”
“Bad news.” Chu Ling folded his arms and looked at him expressionlessly. “Speak it out. I can stand any blow.”
“Well, the bad news is that Ning Yan has planned to make a movie and now the capital, crew and shooting set have already been finalised. The filming will start after the Spring Festival, so I will also be needed to start being filmed for the movie then. This movie has two female leads, so its filming won’t last long but is estimated to be three months, so during this period of time, I…”
“You won’t come to the company.” Chu Ling interrupted her coldly.
Tang Xi nodded.”Yes.”
“Then how about our Summer fashion show? You must appear in the fashion show in our featured clothes because you’re our company’s endorser. Don’t tell me you will be absent!” The Summer fashion show must be held in March, which was exactly when she will be shooting that damned movie!
Tang Xi said, “I’m sure Ning Yan will agree to me leaving at that time. I will surely attend my own company’s fashion show. I just came to tell you that I won’t come to the company frequently in the next several months.”
Chu Ling snorted. “You speak as if you come to the company frequently.”
Tang Xi, “…” Hey, buddy, save me some face, alright?!
Chu Ling rolled his eyes and asked impatiently, “And the good news is?”
“The good news is that I’ve designed several sets of clothes and sent them to your email. Please check them out.” Tang Xi said confidently. Although she had been very busy these days, she didn’t forget about her work. She spent a lot of time and energy on these design drawings. The one she showed Chu Ling just now was the one she liked the most. To her pleasure, Chu Ling had praised that design! Then the other sets must be no problem too!
Chu Ling logged in his email box, carefully looked at the design drawings that Tang Xi sent to him and raised his eyebrows. “Not bad.”
Tang Xi was very glad that her works were recognized by him. She said proudly, “Sure, I’m a talent.”
“Why don’t you just sign your name? If people know that Xiao Rou is not only the endorser of The Queen, but also its chief designer and boss, The Queen’s products will sell even better.”
Tang Xi shook her head in disapproval. “Don’t you think it’s a virtue to keep a low profile? I shouldn’t be too high-profile now. If I am too high-profile, only trouble will come to me.”
