Chapter Twenty-Two: Nannan’s Whispers (2/2)

Plus, even if SI’s chief designer really fractured his bones, no one would believe that FISH did not have at least eight or ten assistants behind him. Yet, FISH had approached an unknown person like him for help. What did that mean?
Something was definitely wrong.
When something unusual happened, there had to be some devil behind it. Nan Wei’s vast experience since youth immediately allowed him to sense it –
It was the scent of a troublemaker!
FISH still did not know what his real identity was, so even if he had directly went to SI’s boss to tell on him, it wouldn’t be a difficult task at all. But why would he do that?
SI was his cousin’s adversary; Nan Wei shouldn’t help the outsiders. If SI’s chief designer was in trouble, then of course, his cousin would be happy as well.
At first, Nan Wei aimed to reject FISH’s request. But he suddenly recalled his cousin’s recent troubles.
FISH was SI’s ace. If Nan Wei could get close to FISH, then wouldn’t he be able to get more information for his cousin?
Fine, let us all be pretentious and create chaos, let us all become spies!
So, when FISH offered him five hundred thousand for a single draft, Nan Wei happily agreed.
A draft for five hundred thousand? FISH sure was bold.
The most expensive design that Nan Wei ever purchased was about five hundred dollars. It was from the neighboring shop owner that also sold replicas of clothing brands for those who requested them. The target was NN’s latest coat. Ultimately, that coat generated a few thousand dollars worth in of sales. Nan Wei did not feel that he was on the losing end. His standards were there: the real NN coat only sold a few selections per month and could easily generate around the same amount as the fake one.
Tsktsktsk. With money, one could do whatever one pleased.
The next day, at about the same time, Nan Wei received a folder from FISH. It included a sketch and a long list of files.
Oh right, FISH had a side account. What was it called again? Fish and Hamster – you can’t have both? That name was seriously hilarious. Anyone could easily realize that it was named by a bottom in the relationship.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: I’ve sent you my instructions. How long will it take you to finish it?
[Nannan]: Dear, the delivery only happens after 24 hours~
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]:… Good luck to you then. I’ll go offline first.
[Nannan]: No, Guru wait! Reachout.jpg
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: What’s wrong?
Nan Wei did not forget his goalof obtaining more information. This guru had gone offline at about six in the evening yesterday, saying that he needed to take a bath and sleep. Seriously, what the hell was that? That was the reason why Nan Wei could only quickly chat awhile more, while FISH was still online.
[Nannan]: Did you draw the sketch? Isn’t it quite decent?
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: My bones weren’t fractured then.
[Nannan]: Okay then. Oh yeah, this isn’t the seasonal fall product design, right?
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Nope. This is an order that SI and YL are competing for.
Nan Wei was shocked. Wasn’t this the order that his cousin was talking about?
With that conjecture, Nan Wei quickly opened the instructions in the folder. The more he read, the more he felt that it was that mysterious millionaire’s order.
Nan Wei’s standards were indeed lacking, but considering that he had already plagiarized so many major brands in the market, he did judge drawings. This sketch that he was looking at was high-class, but the amendment requests were surprising.
For a moment, Nan Wei couldn’t tell if those strange amendments were good or bad choices. But his sixth sense told him that this was it – it was that mysterious millionaire’s order. This was SI’s ace, that young designer that had become famous with his outstanding talent. This was FISH’s authentic draft.
Gosh… if such things were leaked to his cousin……
If FISH’s drawings were revealed to his cousin, it was technically illegal. But FISH gave him this drawing and requested him to finish it. Without any concrete evidence like how the two of them did not have any sort of business contract, if he finished the drawing and gave it to his cousin instead , then wouldn’t that mean the SI was done for?
By then, no matter how FISH looked into it, it would be hopeless. Even if he dared to reveal that he had used a substitute artist, who would believe such fairy tales?
Nan Wei quickly drank a cup of coffee to calm himself down.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Oh yeah, I can tell you the truth, but you must not tell anyone else.
[Nannan]: Enlighten me, Guru.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: This drawing was meant for YL. I’m preparing to be an undercover designer for YL.
Nan Wei spurted his mouth full of coffee onto his computer screen.
As the brown liquid dripped onto the keyboard, Nan Wei even forgot to save that two hundred eighty dollar mechanical keyboard that he had just purchased from some xxxbao shop.
