Time flew by quickly, and soon it was the day for Lin Xian to be discharged from the hospital. No one knew what was going on in this guy's mind. He had been pestering to stay in the hospital for almost a month. In fact, although it was a car accident, he wasn't seriously injured. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get out of bed and take a shower by himself the next day.
Every time Ye Erlan proposed to get discharged, Lin Xian would come up with all kinds of excuses about being uncomfortable here and there. So Ye Erlan simply stopped bringing it up and just let him be.
Later, after thinking it over carefully, Ye Erlan realized that this guy just wanted him to accompany him more. Once he was discharged from the hospital, it meant that Ye Erlan would focus all his attention on EL, and Lin Xian himself would have countless announcements to attend.
To be honest, this period of time was the most relaxing and care - free for him. With Ye Erlan by his side, he could get enough rest. Most importantly, the food Ye Erlan cooked was delicious. To be honest, he felt an indescribable sense of happiness.
This really troubled Yu Nian. Besides being busy with her own wedding, she also had to deal with those advertisers, telling them about Lin Xian's situation and explaining that he couldn't work for the time being, so they had to keep delaying.
Fortunately, Lin Xian had a high status in the industry, and Yu's Entertainment was currently the most powerful entertainment company. So it wasn't easy for others to offend them. Except for a few endorsements that were given to other artists under Yu's Entertainment, most of them were still waiting for Lin Xian to be discharged from the hospital.
This was exactly why Lin Xian didn't want to be discharged. If he piled up all the jobs he had postponed these days, he would really be extremely busy. Moreover, the confession ceremony he promised Ye Erlan hadn't been carried out yet.
But after delaying for more than half a month, he couldn't delay any longer. So he was dragged out of the hospital by Ye Erlan.
"Stop looking so gloomy. You know Yu Nian has been worried about you these days."
Lin Xian smacked his lips. "Well, I was in a car accident after all."
"I know your situation better than you do. Hurry up and get yourself ready to finish your work."
Ye Erlan didn't want to give him a good look at all. If he hadn't known about Yu Nian's recent situation, he would never have known that this guy had left such a mess for Yu Nian. He should have made him be discharged from the hospital earlier, so as to stop him from bothering both himself and Yu Nian.
"What about you?"
"Me?" Ye Erlan paused for a moment and then said, "I have to go to the store. I haven't been there much recently. Although Ning Qian is in charge of EL, I'm still the boss after all. I need to go and have a look, and by the way, find out which styles are popular there."
Lin Xian originally wanted to keep Ye Erlan, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't say a word. He felt really sorry for delaying Ye Erlan's work for so long, because he always knew that Ye Erlan regarded EL as a spiritual pillar.
"Go ahead. I'm shooting this advertisement in the neighboring city. I'll be back the morning after tomorrow. Can you come and pick me up then?"
Hearing Lin Xian's tone, Ye Erlan suddenly felt like laughing. This guy sounded so much like he was acting coquettishly. It was quite interesting. This guy, really. They weren't officially together yet.
It was just that after that day, they understood each other's feelings, and Ye Erlan's attitude towards Lin Xian had become better and better. Anyway, he just followed his heart. Although he said he was waiting for a certain ceremony, in fact, that ceremony wasn't that important anymore. As long as the person was Lin Xian, that was enough.
After a while, He Yan came. She looked a little shy when she saw Ye Erlan, and then timidly called out, "Master L."
Ye Erlan smiled. This wasn't the first time he had seen He Yan, but before, he had just caught a glimpse of her. Later, Lin Xian didn't allow others to come, saying that he wanted to spend some time alone with Ye Erlan.
So actually, this was the first formal meeting between the two of them.
"My surname is Ye. You can just call me Brother Ye."
He Yan didn't expect that the legendary Master L would be so easy - going. People always said that love was blind, so she didn't really believe Lin Xian's words in her heart. After all, L was an internationally famous design master, a top - tier figure. Most people like this would be a bit arrogant, especially those at the top.
It was not until today's formal meeting that she knew that Ye Erlan was really as gentle and elegant as Lin Xian had described.
Seeing that it was getting a bit late, they said goodbye after greeting each other.
After the three of them said goodbye, Ye Erlan went straight to the store. As soon as he arrived at the store, he heard a commotion.
A woman with big curly hair said in a very arrogant tone, "Wrap this dress up for me."
"Sorry, miss. This dress has already been reserved. How about you take a look at other styles?" The shopping guide was a bit embarrassed.
The big - curly - haired woman obviously wasn't willing to give up. She showed the posture of a nouveau - riche who was ready to throw money around. "I'll pay double."
"Miss, it's not about the money. I'm really sorry."
"What's wrong with you? You don't want to make money? Call your boss out right now."
Her attitude became even worse. Ye Erlan wanted to step out. He really couldn't stand people who used their money to do whatever they wanted. But when he heard her say that she wanted to call the boss, he thought that Ning Qian or Ai Fo should come out. Then he suddenly remembered that the two of them should have gone to Haicheng and hadn't come back yet. There was really no one in charge in the store at the moment.
The shopping guide also said in accordance with the rules, "Our boss isn't here."
Just as the big - curly - haired woman was about to say something else, an older aunt walked in. "Girl Wang, can I pick up my dress?"
The shopping guide quickly greeted her. "Auntie, you're here. Sit down quickly. I'll pack it for you."
After saying that, she was about to go and get the dress, which was exactly the one the big - curly - haired woman had taken a fancy to.
"Is this old woman the buyer?" The big - curly - haired woman's tone was full of disdain. "Humph, I thought it was someone important."
After saying that, she stepped forward and said directly to the old lady, "Hey, old woman, I like this dress. Tell me how much you want to sell it for."
The aunt obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen. She quickly shook her head. "I'm not going to sell it."
The big - curly - haired woman obviously didn't expect to be rejected. She was furious, especially being rejected by an old woman who didn't look wealthy.
"Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
After saying that, she even seemed to be about to take action. The aunt wasn't very steady on her feet and fell directly. Ye Erlan was a bit shocked. He thought that if he had known this would happen, he should have stepped out earlier.
As soon as he stepped out, the shopping guide recognized him. Although she didn't know that this was Master L, she knew that he was a high - level person and a senior designer. Seeing Ye Erlan, she finally found someone to rely on.
"Auntie, are you okay?" He helped the old woman up and let her sit on the chair beside her.
"I'm okay, I'm okay."
The big - curly - haired woman obviously didn't expect this to happen. She was extremely angry. Especially when she looked at Ye Erlan, she couldn't figure out what connection this guy had with any wealthy family. She directly said something very unpleasant, "Who do you think you are?"
"Who I am isn't important, miss. The shopping guide has already said that this dress has been reserved by this aunt. If you're really willing to buy something, you can take a look at other clothes."
Before the woman could retort, Ye Erlan continued, "You pushed this old lady. It would be better for you to apologize."
"Shut up! This old woman just didn't stand steady. Do you think I'll apologize? What are you dreaming about?
I just want this dress. So what?
Double the price is not enough? How about triple? Quadruple?
EL can't just ignore the money, right?"
Hearing what this woman said, the old woman was obviously anxious. She was also worried that EL would resell the dress to someone else, after all, the highest bidder usually got it. But she didn't have the money to compete with this rich young lady.
She tightly held the young man's hand beside her. "Young man, this dress is my granddaughter's favorite. She'll turn eighteen tomorrow. I'm just an old woman who has achieved nothing in my life, but I still want to give my granddaughter a good gift.
Young man, I..."
Her voice got smaller and smaller. She knew that her words were useless. She couldn't expect this young man to help her. Buying this dress had already cost her a large amount of savings. Her family wasn't wealthy, and this luxury dress was really something she had to grit her teeth to buy.
Ye Erlan didn't expect such a thing to happen. But as a person in the design industry, he could clearly tell that the old woman's clothes weren't made of good materials, and her family's condition should not be very good.
But thinking about it this way, it made sense.
Even if it wasn't this case, it didn't matter. EL wasn't short of the money from this one dress anyway. In any case, it was first - come, first - served.
"Pack this up for the aunt."
As soon as he said this, the shopping guide continued what she was doing. The big - curly - haired woman was obviously anxious. She stopped the shopping guide. "How dare you!
Do you know who I am?
Call your boss out right now. Who is this guy? You just listen to whatever he says?
How much money did he give you?"
Ye Erlan smiled. This woman was really stupid and arrogant without knowing it.
"I'm the designer of this dress and also a shareholder of EL. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
As soon as Ye Erlan said this, the woman was obviously shocked. How could she meet a high - level person from EL just like this? It seemed really difficult to handle things now.
Immediately, she changed her tone. "Little brother, I really like this dress. Please give it to me."
Ye Erlan felt a bit numb all over. This woman was simply crazy. Her coquettish appearance was really disgusting.
Actually, if it was Lin Xian saying this to him, it should sound quite nice. Suddenly, he was a bit in a daze.
The woman saw his expression and thought that she had persuaded him.
