Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Tong looked at Qin Haodong and said, “Brother Qin, your suit looks good. How much is it? Where did you buy it? What brand is it? Could you please tell us?”

Qin Haodong smiled. They were really ignorant. Couldn’t they see the quality and craftsmanship of his suit? How dare they compete with him in clothes? Were they asking for humiliation?

In fact, he didn’t understand the thoughts of Zhang Tong and the others. The nouveau riche like Zhang Tong cared about the brand of clothes the most. They were unqualified to wear a handmade suit.

Although the suit made by Xi Youmi was of top quality, they didn’t take it seriously because there was no label on it.

Qin Haodong was puzzled, but he couldn’t be bothered to compare with these people. That would be too boring.

He smiled and said, “I didn’t buy this suit. It was given to me by someone as a gift. It’s handmade and has no label on it.”

Zhang Tong immediately laughed. “Oh, a handmade suit. There aren’t many handmade clothes nowadays!”

Zhao Pu said, “I thought Brother Qin bought this set of clothes from a flea market. I was wrong. After all, a suit bought from a flea market should also have a label on it…”

Jin Haiyang said, “Brother Qin, I don’t think you show us enough respect by wearing this kind of cheap handmade clothing to attend the gathering.

“You’d better have a good talk with Huihui and ask her to buy you a few sets of brand clothes. What a shame to wear cheap clothes on such a big occasion!”

They were all speaking with heavy sarcasm, and Jin Haiyang was the most impolite one. He directly regarded Qin Haodong as a toy boy of Su Hui.

“You… you’ve gone too far!”

Su Hui was so angry that her face turned red, and she was about to lose her temper. Qin Haodong patted her on the thigh, indicating that she should calm down.

Just then, the door of the private room was opened, and a little girl with glasses rushed in.

“Sorry guys, I’m late!”

The little girl was also their classmate, Xu Jiajia.

“Your timing is perfect. You’re a great designer, so it’s reasonable for you to be a little late to our gathering.”

Zhang Tong said as he ushered Xu Jiajia in. Then, he introduced her to everyone. “Guys, Jiajia now works as a fashion designer in Liusu Clothing. That’s amazing!”

A female classmate said in surprise, “Jiajia, is that true? The clothes of Liusu Clothing are so expensive. A suit may cost tens of thousands of yuan.”

Zhang Tong was very familiar with Xu Jiajia’s situation. He rushed to say, “Of course, the suits of Liusu Clothing are the most fashionable in our country. Jiajia is now a famous designer, and with her talent, the sky’s the limit.”

Xu Jiajia smiled and said, “You’re flattering me. I’m just a one-star designer now.”

Jin Haiyang said, “Jiajia, you are being too modest. You’ve already managed it the moment you were hired by Liusu Clothing. I guess that you may earn at least 10,000 yuan per month. Am I right?”

Xu Jiajia nodded and said, “Sort of.”

“Jiajia, you’re being modest again. We’re all classmates, what’s there to be embarrassed about?” Zhang Tong showed off on behalf of Xu Jiajia. “Jiajia’s monthly salary is seventy to eighty thousand yuan. If she becomes a two-star designer, she’ll earn hundreds of thousands a month.”

Xu Jiajia said, “The job offered by Liusu Clothing really pays well. But it’s really difficult to become a two-star designer. After all, everyone there is very outstanding. Now the competition is particularly fierce.”

She sighed slightly. Recently, she had been competing with several other designers for an advanced position of two-star designer, but now it seemed that the hope was very slim.

“Jiajia, you’re amazing now.”

Zhao Pu took the lead in clapping his hands.

They praised Xu Jiajia with ulterior motives. At this time, Zhang Tong said, “Designer Xu, Brother Qin said that his clothes are also handmade and are probably worth a lot of money. Please have a look.”

Xu Jiajia had been surrounded since she entered the private room. At this time, she saw Qin Haodong on the opposite side and said in surprise, “Are you also our classmate? When did I have such a handsome classmate?”

Hearing the classmate praising her loved one, Sui Hui chilled and said with a charming smile, “Jiajia, let me introduce him to you. This is my boyfriend, Qin Haodong.”

“Huihui, you are really more and more beautiful, and your boyfriend is so handsome…”

But Xu Jiajia suddenly stopped and stared at Qin Haodong with a dull look. After a while, she came to her senses and stood up. She stepped to Qin Haodong’s side and reached out to touch his black suit as if she was touching a rare treasure.

The girls on the opposite side were shocked by her behavior. “What’s going on? Did Xu Jiajia fall in love with this gigolo boy?”

Zhang Tong said, “Jiajia, do you see it clearly? You’re not scared by this set of clothes, are you? Are you surprised by its crude craftsmanship and its low price? If that’s the case, let’s all donate some money and help him buy a set of brand clothes.”

“Shut up!” Xu Jiajia, who had been laughing happily since entering the room, stopped Zhang Tong with a stern look.

“You hick, what do you know? These are clothes made by Xi Youmi, the boss of Liusu Clothing and the chief designer.”

Zhang Tong was startled. He didn’t even care that Xu Jiajia called him a hick and asked in shock, “Jiajia, how is this possible? Did you see wrongly?”

“This is definitely a masterpiece made by my boss. How could I be wrong?” Xu Jiajia turned back and said to Qin Haodong, “Mr. Qin, could I have a look at your clothes?”

Qin Haodong knew that it was impossible to keep a low profile now, so he nodded slightly.

Xu Jiajia rolled up his sleeve and saw that there were three gold stars embroidered on his cuff, which immediately confirmed her guess.

She raised her head and said, “In our Liusu Clothing, the clothes designed by a one-star designer will have a silver star embroidered on the cuff; and if the designer makes the suit all by himself, there will be a golden star.

“The same rule also applies to a two-star designer. A suit made by them will have two gold stars on the cuff. The cuffs of Mr. Qin’s suit are embroidered with three gold stars. And the only three-star designer in our Liusu Clothing is our boss, Miss Xi.

“There is no doubt that this set of clothes was made by our boss herself.”

Hearing her explanation, another classmate said in surprise, “The clothes of Liusu Clothing are so expensive. The suit made by your boss must be even more valuable. How much is it? Is it worth more than hundreds of thousands of yuan?”

“Hundreds of thousands of yuan?”

Xu Jiajia smiled gently. It was true that poverty could restrict one’s imagination.

“Our boss, Miss Xi, is the top designer in Huaxia. She can even make it into the top 10 in the world. She often gets the first prize in major design competitions.

“The clothes she designs cost one million yuan. And the boss rarely makes clothes by herself. So the clothes made by her are worth at least millions of yuan.”

“Oh my god, millions of yuan for a piece of clothing. It’s too extravagant…”

“Just now, I said that their clothes were expensive as pickup trucks, but Mr. Qin’s clothes are equivalent to super luxury sports cars. That’s completely different…”

“Zhang Tong is really asking for an insult. Their clothes look awesome, but compared to those of Mr. Qin, they’re nothing…”

Xu Jiajia seemed to be excited still. She continued, “Even an ordinary rich man can’t make our boss make the suit herself with tens of millions of yuan, so the suit made by our boss is a symbol of high status. It’s not just a matter of money.”

Zhang Tong, Zhao Pu, and Jin Haiyang were completely dumbfounded. They were so embarrassed that they even wanted to kill themselves now.

They didn’t expect that Qin Haodong’s suit, which had no labels on it, was actually made by the top designer in Huaxia. The price of one of its sleeves was the same as that of their entire set of clothes.

If they had known this before, they would not have competed with him in clothes. They were actually asking for humiliation.

Xu Jiajia finished speaking, turned to Su Hui, and said, “Huihui, you’re so lucky to find such an outstanding boyfriend like Mr. Qin!”

Since they arrived there, Zhang Tong and the others had been trying to insult Qin Haodong, which made Su Hui very angry. Now Xu Jiajia helped her vent her anger, and she was very delighted as if she had eaten ice cream in the dog days of summer.

“It’s not a big deal. You can find a better boyfriend in the future.”

Xu Jiajia hesitated for a moment and then said to Qin Haodong, “Mr. Qin, can you do me a favor?”

Qin Haodong also had a good impression of this little girl with glasses. He said, “Please feel free to say it. I’ll definitely offer help if I can.”

Xu Jiajia was a little embarrassed and said, “Our company has been checking on designers recently, and some can be elevated to two-star designer. But there are few vacancies. Could you please put in a good word for me?”

She was a very smart girl. And she realized that Mr. Qin had to be close with Xi Youmi since she made the suit for him.

Zhang Tong and the others immediately widened their eyes. They hoped that Xu Jiajia had made a mistake and this suit was not made by Xi Youmi. And they didn’t want Qin Haodong to have anything to do with Liusu Clothing.

But to their disappointment, Qin Haodong smiled and said, “No problem. I’m willing to help a friend of Su Hui.”

It was a big deal for Xu Jiajia to be promoted to a two-star designer, but Qin Haodong didn’t care about it at all. He directly took out his mobile phone and called Xi Youmi.

Xi Youmi asked with her pleasant voice, “Haodong, why are you calling me so soon? Is there anything wrong with your clothes?”

Unconsciously, she called him Haodong instead of Qin Haodong, and it sounded quite intimate.

“No, the clothes are very good. They fit well,” Qin Haodong said. “Sister, I have a friend who works in your company. Her name is Xu Jiajia. If it’s convenient, please take care of her.”

Xi Youmi said softly, “Why are you being so polite? It’s my company, and there’s nothing inconvenient. Since she’s your friend, I’ll definitely take good care of her.

“Well, we’ve been considering promoting some designers. I’ll have her be promoted to a two-star designer directly.”

“Well, thank you so much.”

Qin Haodong hung up and put his mobile phone away.

The private room was very quiet when he made the phone call. The people nearby heard the conversation between Qin Haodong and Xi Youmi clearly. Xu Jiajia was very excited after hearing Xi Youmi’s words.

It should be noted that there was a huge difference between one-star designers and two-star designers. She would take a huge step forward if she could be promoted. Her salary would be doubled or even tripled, and on top of that, her status would also be greatly improved.

Originally, there was no hope for her to be promoted, but she didn’t expect to meet Qin Haodong at a classmates’ gathering. Qin Haodong solved the problem that had troubled her for a long time with just a phone call.

“Thank you, Mr. Qin. Thank you so much!”

She was so excited that she didn’t know what to say.

Su Hui said, “Jiajia, you’re being too polite. We’re all classmates. I should help you.”

The gathering was organized by Zhang Tong, and he didn’t expect that the limelight would be taken away by that toy boy in the blink of an eye. He immediately said with jealousy, “Jiajia, don’t be so naive. There are many scammers now. Who knows if it’s true or not? Maybe the one he called was not your boss.”
