Chapter 452 - 314: _2
As they walked and snacked along the way, Tang Xi enjoyed a skewer of roasted gluten, and looking at Fang Yuan who was equally delighted, Fang Yuan said, "I rarely came here in the past, especially during high school, when I would go home after school to study late into the night. Once I started university, I had much more freedom. Every night in university, my roommate and I would come here to eat. We did this for a month straight, eating until we grew tired of it, yet it still wasn’t enough. But it’s been a long time since I last came here to eat. Tang Xi, were you originally from North City as well?"
Two tall student athletes ran past quickly nearby. Tang Xi slightly sidestepped, and her skewer almost slipped from her hand. She grasped Fang Yuan’s arm, watching the students running nearby with a slight smile, her eyes carrying a hint of longing and reminiscence, "I went to North City University."
Fang Yuan exclaimed, "North City University, wow, that’s a really, really good school. Did you study in the medical faculty? My mom graduated from North City University. If I were to study medicine, I would apply there too."
Blinking her eyes she continued to ask, "So, you didn’t stay in North City after graduation?"
"Well, I worked here for some time then moved to other cities. Not long ago, I returned with my daughter."
Fang Yuan is not a gossipy person, but she was a bit curious, "Then how come you ended up at the Fu’s design department?"
Tang Xi looked at this naive girl and replied without hiding anything, "A friend introduced me here, plus some domestic chores."
Fang Yuan didn’t dwell on the topic, "Tang Xi, this is what you call talent."
She had seen on Tang Xi’s computer the design drafts and sketches because You Lili had asked everyone to submit two complete drafts, and Tang Xi had already prepared hers. Fang Yuan took one look and felt that Tang Xi was naturally talented. Having previously been a doctor and now a jewelry designer, she seemed exceptional. Fang Yuan thought her designs were much better than those by Gao Minjia and Qian Lin.
Tang Xi smiled, "I’ve had some exposure before, my family, my relatives, are in the jewelry business. As a child, I used to go to the factory with them and watch how the master craftsmen cut, designed, and constructed."
"With your amazing skills, Tang Xi, you’ll definitely face no issues staying at Fu’s," Fang Yuan bought a serving of grilled cold noodles and started eating on her own, "But you should be careful of Minjia, once she becomes the deputy director, she will definitely make things difficult for you. I’m young, but I understand that offending a superior makes life tough."
