Chapter 79: The End and the Sequel (2/2)
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: It’s looks great right now. If YL is able to properly utilize this opportunity, they won’t have to worry about sales for the next six months.
[Nannan]: Oh, oh, that’s great.
[Nannan]: Guru…
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: If you have something to say, just say it.
[Nannan]: It’s nothing big, I just saw on the news that SI didn’t seem to do so well this time.
Xiao Yu froze for a second, suddenly feeling a moment of crisis.
He was well aware of the tragic outcome SI faced this time and did not need Nanan to evasively hint at it to him. But for Nannan to specifically bring it up now, could he have discovered something?
There were many pictures and videos from the Autumn Release Conference. He could not guarantee that the human Xiao Yu was not filmed at the event. The human Xiao Yu’s enmity with YL was very apparent, yet Xiao Yu always had a caring attitude towards YL whenever he spoke to Nannan. This contradiction might seem off to others.
Xiao Yu pondered a bit before deciding that a conservative responsive would be better.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: SI was caught a bit unprepared this time, but their foundation is still there. You don’t need to worry.
This was a complete lie; one without even a hint of truth. Xiao Yu understood very well from his past life that this time’s Autumn Release Conference laid the groundwork for SI’s downward slump.
To be mediocre in this industry was to be eliminated. Although SI had not fallen to the point of being mediocre, unfortunately, YL was boosted to a stunning level. One mountain cannot house two tigers. After the Autumn Release Conference, YL went from being cautious and low-key to actively baring its teeth and claws against the old established brand of SI. YL would suppress the unprepared SI up until the day Xiao Yu got into his car accident.
Only Xiao Yu himself knew about these future events, so his diplomatic words were enough to fool others.
[Nannan]: Oh, so it’s like that.
This was a case of Xiao Yu overcomplicating things. Truthfully, Nan Wei only asked about SI on account of Xiao Yu being his future sister in-law (?). He really didn’t have any intentions of questioning Xiao Yu’s motives.
He was suspicious at first when Xiao Yu sent the initial design drawing to him, since he could not be sure if Xiao Yu was telling the truth. Now that he had witnessed how Xiao Yu was able to help YL rise to the top with his own eyes, he knew that his suspicion was not warranted.
Actually, the reason he contacted Xiao Yu today had nothing to do with to the Autumn Release Conference. Instead, he felt awkward bringing up the real matter he wanted to speak about, so he was just warming up to the main topic.
[Nannan]: Oh, that’s right Guru. Are you busy at the moment?
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: No, I’m not. Do you need something?
[Nannan]: It’s like this. My store is coming out with a new jewelry series soon. If Guru is not busy, can you please help me take a look? As for your consultation fee, I-I have money.
After Nan Wei sent out that message, his palms started sweating. He was so embarrassed. FISH-guru was an elite in the industry and the orders FISH usually handled would be priced at one to ten million dollars at least. Nan Wei’s plagiarized designs using cheap materials would only be considered un-displayable second rate goods in front of him.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: No problem. I can do it anytime. Right now, I have a lot of free time.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: I have seen your design drawings before. Even compared with designers in the industry, they’re not bad.
Xiao Yu was extremely enthusiastic. After the Autumn Release Conference, there would be a long period of time in which YL would definitely concentrate their energy on sales. For YL’s employees, this wasn’t a rest period. They were still as busy as usual. On the other hand, Xiao Yu was very free. After all, when YL did not require any drawings from him, there would be no opportunity to display his strength..
Naturally, he wouldn’t refuse work that came knocking on his door, especially when it was right up his alley.
[Nannan]: Thank you Guru!
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: It’s nothing. You also helped me a lot. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do.
When Nan Wei saw Xiao Yu’s reply, he felt very touched and warm.
Guru didn’t look down on my design drawings because of my small business. Instead Guru said that I was very capable……
Even if he was being diplomatic, just being able to get FISH’s recognition was an honor, not to mention the sincerity in Xiao Yu’s word.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Oh right, I can help you look over your design drawings but I can’t help you edit it. How about I teach you during this time and give you some pointers on your technical skills?
Earlier, Xiao Yu had requested that Nannan to put his own inspiration into the design. Now, he wanted to add another layer to it. He wanted to help Nannan bring his own design ideas to life, increasing the quality of his work.
[Nannan]: Thanks a lot Guru. Really, thank you.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Hah, I’m very strict, you know.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: stern.jpg
[Nannan]: I will definitely work hard.
Xiao Yu could no longer hold back his desire to be a teacher. He was about to ask Nannan to hurry up and send his design drawing over when QQ suddenly rang to indicate that he had a new message.
Xiao Yu’s good mood disappeared when he saw the familiar screen name.
“Hn,” he said coldly, before accepting the chat.
It was finally here.
