Chapter 304: Chapter 304: A Sudden Encounter

Now, when Mo Siyu says Tang Yue is the provincial top scholar, there’s not a hint of exaggeration in there.

"Ahem, it’s just luck." Tang Yue smiled and discreetly tugged at Mo Siyu’s sleeve. She didn’t want to attract so much attention.

Mo Siyu, carrying things, went upstairs first.

Tang Yue greeted everyone and then followed upstairs.

Only Jiang Beini was left standing in the corridor alone. The previous announcement had been loud and many had heard it. Ruan Xiuxiu had even purposely stepped forward to ask who was the provincial top scholar.

Suppressing the jealousy in her heart, Jiang Beini answered: "It’s Brother Mo’s girlfriend." Hmph, what’s so special about being a provincial top scholar...

"That’s amazing," Ruan Xiuxiu said excitedly and admiringly.

And so, the news spread as if it had wings. Everyone in the family building knew.

Brother Mo’s girlfriend was going to be a college student soon, and moreover, she was the provincial top scholar. Such an honor wasn’t for just anyone to have. In the family building, there were those who envied, those who were jealous, and those who congratulated. Many people were thinking that they should get on good terms with Tang Yue in the future.

Not to mention Brother Mo’s promising future, just Tang Yue herself, being a future college student with such good grades, was bound to have great prospects.

Tang Yue and Mo Siyu didn’t care about these external matters. As soon as they arrived at Mo Siyu’s place, Tang Yue clamored for a bath.

She felt there was an odd smell lingering on her after the train ride.

"Xiao Yue, I’ll bring you food later," said Mo Siyu as he quickly packed some clothes and went downstairs.

As an unmarried couple, Mo Siyu had to be cautious of Tang Yue’s reputation.

For dinner, Tang Yue ate a little and went to bed early at her lodging.

The fatigue from traveling made Tang Yue fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Perhaps it was Mo Siyu’s scent in the room, but she slept especially soundly.

A series of loud and clear whistles rang out.

Tang Yue woke up groggily and took a while to remember that she was now in a military setting.

The loud and clear whistle was extremely invigorating. As Tang Yue listened, she felt her mood brighten. Early in the morning, this was like a disturbing dream.

She lazed in bed for a while, staring at the familiar yet strange place, her mind went blank. Early mornings were supposed to be the clearest time of the day for the mind, and suddenly, inspiration struck Tang Yue. She quickly pulled out the notebook she always carried and began to scribble and draw.

Once she started, Tang Yue became so engrossed that she lost track of time.

It wasn’t until the urgent knocking that Tang Yue abruptly checked her watch – it was already seven-thirty.

As soon as she opened the door, someone rushed to her.

Tang Yue caught a glimpse of long black hair and instinctively reached out to steady them.

"Ouch." Qin Anyu almost threw her entire upper body into Tang Yue’s arms. If Tang Yue hadn’t supported her, she might have fallen straight to the ground.

"Xiao Yue, help me steady myself quick, my foot..." Qin Anyu lifted her foot, with one high heel still at the doorway.

"Sister An Yu, you’re really in a rush." Tang Yue immediately recognized that the person who showed up early in the fleet was Qin Anyu.

Tang Yue helped Qin Anyu put on her high heels properly, and only then did Qin Anyu turn around to the doorway, to pick up a big bag of snacks, most of which were quite nice, such as imported biscuits from abroad and some of the more expensive candies, as well as chocolates.

Qin Anyu said gleefully, "You have no idea, I heard from my brother yesterday that you came to the fleet. I was going to come last night, but it was too late, and grandpa wouldn’t allow it."

Qin Anyu pouted, looking pitifully and said, "Xiao Yue, really, you come to Jing City and don’t even call me."

"Cough." Tang Yue cleared her throat and said, "Sister An Yu, I was going to come earlier, but I got held up with some things. This trip was so rushed I didn’t get to tell you."

"Alright then, look, I brought you lots of snacks, there’s not much to eat in the fleet." Qin Anyu, being very familiar, brought the things over to the table, and instantly spotted the clothes Tang Yue had drawn. Seeing the little garments, her eyes shone with excitement as she exclaimed, "Xiao Yue, these clothes are beautiful, I want them."

The corners of Tang Yue’s mouth twitched as she reminded her, "Sister An Yu, you should hurry up and get married and have a daughter, then she can wear these clothes."

"Ah..." It took a while for Qin Anyu to realize, belatedly, that these clothes were meant for little girls.

"Xiao Yue, how come you thought of making kids’ clothes?" Qin Anyu pouted and said, "But I really think these clothes are so pretty, maybe you can make them bigger, then I could wear them?"

Qin Anyu now only wore clothes made by Tang Yue and even her hairstyle had normalized, making her beauty transcend more than just a little. There were not a few people coming to the Qin Family to ask for her hand in marriage, but Qin Anyu hadn’t agreed to any. She was in no hurry to get married. After all, her elder brother, Qin Anhao, wasn’t married yet, so she was even less rushed.

"This..." Tang Yue did think of mother-and-child fashion, which also had a market. Not to make a lot, just to launch them as a series, in limited editions, that should be pretty good.

Tang Yue said, "We can try it. But Sister An Yu, how is Star Bright Clothing Store doing now? Are there any orders for the studio this month?"

"Yes." Qin Anyu proudly told Tang Yue about how well Star Bright Clothing Store had done this past year, and about the orders they had received. Previously, they were investing money in other things, but now, the clothing store started to make profits.

"Xiao Yue, look, I brought you this." Qin Anyu handed a passbook forward and said, "It’s under your name."

Tang Yue opened it and laughed, "So much money?"

"Mmm-hm, Star Bright Clothing has started to profit, plus the money from the orders, it’s not that much. If there were more designs for the clothes, we could earn even more," Qin Anyu got excited just thinking about it and said, "Xiao Yue, now that you’re in university, do you have more time? So, going forward, there will be more designs for the clothing, right?"

"Mmm, theoretically, yes." Tang Yue nodded earnestly in response, but in her heart, she had another idea—she wanted to train her own designers.

Alone, it wasn’t just about running out of ideas, sometimes there were inevitable oversights. Having her own designers would be different. For example, Mingyue Clothing Factory could use designs from her own designers, which would significantly reduce her workload to a large extent.

Tang Yue put away the passbook and, after a quick breakfast, followed Qin Anyu to the store.

Many were curious to ask Tang Yue, the provincial top scorer, how she managed to achieve that title, but everyone came up empty-handed.

Some suggested asking Mo Siyu, but no one dared to do so.
