Chapter 753 - Asking for Humiliation (1/2)
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.
