His mean words left Tang Xi speechless. She looked helplessly at him and a helpless gleam flickered across her eyes. “In fact, linen sack is not the symbol for simplicity, and peacock feathers don’t look that gorgeous.”

Chu Ling narrowed his eyes, and gazed deeply at Tang Xi. Tang Xi felt as if his stare had left a hole in her face and could only surrendered, “I’m sorry. Please tell me the problems of my design and I will modify it.”

Chu Ling threw her design drawings back to her as he said coldly, “Your first design is called phoenix nirvana, but I can only see a phoenix but nothing about nirvana. You adopted golden hollow-out design. That’s good, but there isn’t any trace of nirvana in this dress. This is a big failure! Nirvana means a metamorphosis after pain, but what I can see from this dress is only an arrogant peacock…”

“A phoenix.” Tang Xi looked at Chu Ling.

Chu Ling cast a cold glance at Tang Xi and she shrugged. “Please continue.”

“I suggest you adopting the black sequins on the upper body to highlight the phoenix’s pre-nirvana state, and then use a rainbow of black and gold on the skirt to highlight her beauty…” Tang Xi suddenly raised her hand to interrupt him before he finished. “I know you think it’s important to highlight nirvana,” she said, “but such a design would make the whole dress look so contradictory. I bet it won’t look good at all…”

Tang Xi suddenly stopped, blinked, stared at the design drawing that Chu Ling put in front of her eyes, and went totally speechless…

She stretched out a hand to take the design drawing from Chu Ling and looked gaping at the dreamlike dress. It was so beautiful that she could imagine the beautiful scenes when angel and devil wore this dress. She looked at Chu Ling in shock and asked in surprise, “Did you draw this?”

“Do you find it beautiful?” Chu Ling didn’t answer her question, but asked her.

Tang Xi immediately nodded. “Yes, it’s so beautiful!”

Chu Ling smiled and raised his eyebrows. “Then do you think what you just said is right?”

Tang Xi shook her head. “No, I was wrong. You’re right about everything. It should be like this!”

The corner of Chu Ling’s eyes twitched when he listened to Tang Xi’s flattery. She took the design drawing back from Tang Xi’s hand. “So which do you think will be more popular in Milan Fashion Week, your design or this one?”

Tang Xi said out loud without any hesitation. “Yours!”

Chu Ling smiled, put down the design drawing in satisfaction, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xi. “Now do you feel you don’t deserve to be a designer?”

“No.” Tang Xi smiled at Chu Ling and raised her eyebrows. “I just think I need to learn more, but I don’t think I don’t deserve to be a designer, but if you are willing to be my company’s designer, Mr. Chu, I will definitely give up design from then on.”

“You wish.” Chu Ling snorted. “I’m very expensive!”

With that, he smiled and looked at Tang Xi as he said, “But you’re not utterly useless. At least you still have one or two designs worthy of a look. You just need to study hard and one day, you can become a qualified designer.”

Tang Xi smiled. Now she believed that Chu Ling was truly a genius, not only a management genius, but also a design genius! She looked at Chu Ling and asked, “How do you think of my company’s designers?”

Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and his eyes had a gleam of disdain. “Them?”

Tang Xi was a bit angry at his reaction. She squinted at Chu Ling and the latter shrugged. “In fact, not that bad. their design ability, just like your company, is still to be developed.”

Tang Xi smiled faintly when she heard Chu Ling didn’t disdain her employees. She looked at Chu Ling. “How about the cheongsam I designed?”

“I made some change to that cheongsam. Otherwise I can’t get it on the stage this time.” Chu Ling passed Tang Xi the revised design. Tang Xi took it and found the dark blue cheongsam she designed had become a gorgeous traditional Chinese dress after revised by Chu Ling. This dress didn’t only look gorgeous, but also had a touch of elegance. From the design drawing, she could imagine that in this dress, a girl would look as lively and cute as a princess, and as elegant and beautiful as a queen.

Tang Xi shook her head, looked admiringly at Chu Ling and exclaimed, “You’re truly a genius.”

Chu Ling raise his eyebrow. “So don’t let me see those ugly designs again. Although I help you modify your designs this time, I don’t hope this happens again. As for… design style, I hope you can have a breakthrough. Fashion design has no limit. You have to make a breakthrough. Breakthrough means being avant-garde, understand?”

Tang Xi smiled at Chu Ling. “A genius is a genius. I see, Mr. Chu. Since the two dresses were actually designed by you, they will be released in your name…”

“No need.” Chu Ling looked at Tang Xi and coldly said, “I am the CEO of your company. For your designs, of course I can give you some advice. If you don’t agree with me, I will immediately tear this design drawing up, but you agreed, which means you took my advice. My modifications are based on your work, so these are not supposed to be my designs. Since they are not my designs, I don’t want to see my name on them.”

Tang Xi looked at Chu Ling in surprise and the latter stood up. “Okay, it’s alright now. We’ll know whether we can attend this fashion week tomorrow. Go home. ” He raised his hand and took a look at his watch as he pursed his lips. “It’s late. If you stay with me in the company, some bastard will be jealous, and then I will have a hard time.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xi laughed. She looked at Chu Ling and asked, “May I ask you a question? In your circle, is Qiao Liang or you stronger?”

Chu Ling was speechless and his face darkened. He stared darkly at Tang Xi and said sullenly, “If I’m stronger, do you think I’ll be coerced by him to serve as the CEO of this stupid company?”

Tang Xi shrugged. “No, you wouldn’t have been.”

Chu Ling snorted and coldly said, “Get the hell out of my office before I get angry. Otherwise I can’t guarantee…”

“Okay!” Tang Xi raised both hands and immediately turned to walk towards outside. After taking two steps, she looked back at Chu Ling. “In fact, people are good at different fields. Although I’m reluctant to admit it, I can’t deny that you are stronger than me in management and design, but Qiao Liang is stronger than you in some other fields, so don’t feel inferior and take it easy…”

“Tang Xi! Get out!”
