Chapter 1240 Is The Designer Still Alive?
"Miss Qiao is really too much! She actually wanted to snatch President Xia's designs. Fortunately, Chairman Xia appeared in time and explained this matter. Otherwise—"
Xia Mengyan pretended to be sad and interrupted that person. "Don't blame Xi Xi. This isn't her fault. She was very close to Aunt Yunqiu. When she heard that Aunt Yunqiu stole my father's designs, she was unable to accept it for a moment. It's understandable. If my father hadn't said it today, I wouldn't have known about this either."
That person continued, "Even if she was on good terms with Xia Yunqiu, she can't be indiscriminate and snatch someone else's things!"
Listening to everyone criticizing Qiao Xi and Xia Yunqiu, Xia Ji and his daughter revealed proud smiles.
On the other hand, Xia Cheng was talking to the Luo family's representatives. He wanted to let Xia Ji, as the designer, speak during the official ceremony and show his face in front of the Luo family. If he could obtain the Luo family's recognition, Xia Ji's future would definitely be limitless. The Xia family would also receive preferential treatment.
After everyone chatted for a while, the butler's assistant got to the main topic. "Our young master likes these designs very much and wants to personally carve and restore these exquisite designs. Are there any other designs?"𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏𝓃𝑜𝚟𝙚𝑙.𝒄o𝑚
Xia Cheng explained with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Assistant. He only has a few designs in his hands, but don't worry. He's in the lobby now. I'll introduce him to you later. I promise that he'll design more outstanding works in the future. They'll definitely satisfy Young Master Luo!"
Actually, Xia Cheng knew very well that Xia Ji did not know how to draw designs, but he had to say that now. As long as they signed the contract with the Luo family, everything would be fine. If it really did not work out, he could hire someone to draw the designs at a high price.
However, as soon as Xia Cheng finished speaking, the butler's expression changed. His assistant understood and hurriedly asked, "Chairman Xia, you said that person is inside?"
They looked up and searched the crowd.
Xia Cheng did not expect the Luo family to value these designs so much. He was extremely excited. "Yes! He's waiting in the lobby. I'll get him to come over now."
The assistant suddenly asked in surprise, "Chairman Xia, do you mean that the designer has always been alive? Young Master will be very happy to know about this!"
His voice was very loud and entered the lobby on the first floor. Everyone was stunned for a long time and showed curious expressions. What was going on? Xia Ji was, of course, living well!
The corners of Xia Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, but the other party was from the Luo family, after all. He naturally did not dare to say anything and could only smile helplessly. "Assistant, you must be joking. Of course, the designer is still alive! It's a good thing as he can always draw designs for Young Master Luo."
The assistant was pleasantly surprised. "I see! I remember hearing rumors that the designer has been dead for many years. Young Master and the head of the family even sighed for a long time when they mentioned this. It turns out that it's just a rumor. It's good that the designer is still alive."
Xia Mengyan's heart thumped violently in the hall. From the moment the assistant asked if the designer was still alive, she had a bad feeling.
Xia Yunqiu passed away many years ago. Could it be that the Luo family knew Xia Yunqiu?
It did not matter. It did not matter even if they knew Xia Yunqiu. Xia Yunqiu had already passed away for so many years. She could not get up from the grave and tell everyone the truth. They could still use what they had just said to explain it to the Luo family.
Of course, Xia Cheng also sensed that something was wrong. He knew that the designer the assistant was talking about was his daughter, Xia Yunqiu. However, Xia Yunqiu passed away many years ago. How could she have known the Luo family? Xia Cheng had heard that Young Master Luo was only in his 20s. When Xia Yunqiu died, Young Master Luo was still a child who could not remember anything. It was absolutely impossible for him to know Xia Yunqiu.
Thinking of this, Xia Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
The assistant then asked indifferently, "Chairman Xia, our young master didn't intend to come at first, but now that he knows the designer is still alive, he decided to come and take a look. Young Master will arrive later. Please wait for a moment. Our young master will personally complete the collaboration ceremony. You don't mind, right?"
Of course, Xia Cheng did not dare to mind. The arrival of the Luo family's butler had already brought light to the Xia family's humble dwelling, making everyone present jealous. Now that the person who was coming was the young master of the Luo family, Xia Cheng wouldn't complain even if he had to personally pick the young master up, not to mention waiting for a while.
Xia Cheng hurriedly nodded in agreement. Under everyone's burning gazes, his face was filled with pride.
