Chapter 291: Chapter 291: The Mercenary Captain (2)_1

"Ah, oh, I’m on it." Startled by Situ Xin’s call, Murong Wanyu snapped back to reality, turned around, and went to finish the problem.

Situ Xin shook her head as she watched Murong Wanyu, then lowered her head again to continue reading the book in her hands. But in fact, she was studying the knowledge from the Jade Token in her mind.

Situ Xin found that each time she advanced a level, the knowledge within the Jade Token increased. This discovery delighted her immensely, and now she appeared to be attentively listening to the teacher’s lecture in class when, in reality, she was delving into the knowledge stored in the Jade Token.

"Situ Xin, someone’s looking for you outside." Just as Situ Xin was engrossed in studying the knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine from the Jade Token, she suddenly heard their class monitor approach her desk and inform her.

Speaking of the class monitor of Situ Xin’s class, the homeroom teacher favored Situ Jin, Yu Qihao, and Xiao Muli. However, none of those three was interested in becoming class monitor, and they were not the kind teachers could pressure, so the teacher had no choice but to give up.

Hearing that someone was looking for Situ Xin outside, Situ Jin and the other two immediately put aside what they were doing and turned their heads in unison towards the class monitor. Situ Jin was the first to ask, "Monitor, who’s looking for Baby?"

The class had long grown accustomed to Situ Jin’s nickname for Situ Xin.

"Uh, I don’t know her. She’s a woman around thirty," the class monitor replied, stumped by Situ Jin’s question. He had only just entered the classroom when that person stopped him and asked him to fetch someone. The woman had not mentioned her relationship with Situ Xin either.

"Brother, I’ll go check it out," said Situ Xin, her curiosity piqued about who could be looking for her, especially a woman around thirty.

"I’ll go with you," Situ Jin put down what he was holding, stood up, and prepared to accompany Situ Xin outside. Even at school, danger could lurk anywhere.

Situ Xin nodded. After all, she knew that even if she didn’t let her brother come with her, he would still be worried while sitting at his desk.

Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao also wanted to follow Situ Xin to see who it was, but since they weren’t officially related to her yet, it seemed inappropriate for them to do so rashly. So, they had to sit at their desks and wait.

Sitting at their desks, Yu Qihao and Xiao Muli exchanged glances, the meaning of which was clear only to them.

"Aunt Lu?" Situ Xin and Situ Jin exclaimed in unison as they stepped out of the classroom and saw the woman outside.

"Goodness, you don’t have to be so enthusiastic to see me," Lu Juan joked happily, surprised to see such expressions on the faces of siblings Situ Xin and Situ Jin.

"Aunt Lu, what brings you here to see me?" Situ Xin was curious, as family members, besides attending annual parent meetings, would not usually come to school. Therefore, for Lu Juan to come to her school must mean there was a reason.

"Yes, I am here for a reason. If it weren’t important, I wouldn’t bother you at school," Lu Juan said excitedly as she started to discuss why she had come to see Situ Xin.

Noting Lu Juan’s excitement and feeling it stood out a little too much in front of the classroom where students were passing by, Situ Xin led Lu Juan to the flower bed outside. "Aunt Lu, let’s talk over there," she said.

"Oh, Baby, I have to tell you that BL Fashion Week in Country F noticed our brand XIN’s new designs for this year, so they specifically sent an invitation to invite our chief designer XIN to attend the next Fashion Week," Lu Juan said, pausing to glance at Situ Xin’s face to gauge her reaction. Seeing no sign of excitement, she wondered whether she should continue.

"Aunt Lu, keep going, I guess you haven’t finished what you were saying," Situ Xin prompted, her face expressionless, yet she felt quite astonished internally. Her amateur fashion designs had actually gained recognition from BL Fashion Week.

"The invitation from BL Fashion Week also specifically asked whether our chief designer XIN would be interested in participating in the next Fashion Week and holding a SHOW. Baby, what do you say?" Lu Juan really hoped Situ Xin would accept BL Fashion Week’s invitation. Such a move would greatly benefit their XIN brand’s entry into foreign markets.

Over the past few years, with Situ Xin’s avant-garde fashion designs, combined with Lu Juan’s unwavering dedication, the XIN clothing company has grown rapidly. Now, the XIN clothing company has become a leading enterprise in the national apparel industry.

Moreover, under Situ Xin’s guidance, Lu Juan had taken to the international market with specially designed XIN clothing two years prior, signifying XIN’s move towards international integration.

With Situ Xin’s involvement, XIN had achieved excellent results as soon as it entered the foreign market.

Situ Xin was well aware of the benefits of participating in Fashion Week, but instead of agreeing right away, she thought for a moment.

Situ Jin listened on the side, completely baffled. He seldom paid attention to fashion-related matters. In fact, no man from the Situ or Loo Families concerned themselves with news of the fashion world.

If you asked them about Country F or BL, they had plenty of topics to discuss, but their discussions were unrelated to what Situ Xin and Lu Juan spoke about. They would talk about international relations, recent movements in Country F, or BL.

"Aunt Lu, Baby, what’s this Fashion Week you’re talking about? Is it famous?" Situ Jin took the rare opportunity to interject curiously.

"Fashion Week is, well..." Lu Juan began to explain to Situ Jin but then remembered how her own husband had once asked her about fashion, and after she had explained for half an hour, he showed only disinterest. With that memory in mind, she decided not to continue. "Never mind, you should just go back and look it up yourself," she said.
