Lin Qingqian was instantly stunned.
The man was handsome and had prominent facial features, fair skin, delicate eyebrows, and a refined temperament.
Lin Qingqian had seen many men like Lu Qinshang, Gu Xici, and Jiang Yanshen, but she had never seen such a man before.
The moment she saw him, she couldn’t help but think of a saying— a refined lad is like treasured jade.
The man stood up and reached out his hand. His voice was gentle. “Hello,
Director Lin. I’m Han Liubai.”
Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and shook his hand politely. She then quickly let go of her grasp. “Mr. Han, are you here to apply for a job?”
Han Liubai nodded. “This is my resume. Director Lin, you can take a look.” Lin Qingqian took the resume from him and sat down to read it.
It was just a thin piece of paper. Other than the basic information, it also recorded his educational background, the places where he had worked, and the awards he had won.
“Mr. Han is an overseas Chinese?” Lin Qingqian put down her resume and sized up the man in front of her again.
Han Liubai pursed his lips. “I was born in Lan City but I grew up overseas.”
“The companies you used to work for on your resume are all very famous brands. Other than that, you were part of large styling teams. Why did you come back to China? You even came to an unknown studio like mine to apply for a job?” Lin Qingqian was not overwhelmed by his gorgeous resume. Instead, she was puzzled why such an outstanding talent would want to come to her place.
Han Liubai smiled and explained unhurriedly, “Although the development overseas is good, I’m Chinese after all. I also want to start a family and a career in the place where I was born. Moreover, everyone thinks that there are no good design studios in the country and no good designers. Hence, I want to break this perception.”
A trace of surprise flashed past Lin Qingqian’s eyes. “1 didn’t expect Mr. Han to be so patriotic.”
Han Liubai smiled faintly. “Director Lin’s first project was styling Luo Tianxue in a cheongsam. Aren’t you trying to prove to everyone that the country has beautiful culture?”
Nowadays, everyone reveres foreign fashion brands and trendy brands, but they forget that we have our own local brands. In China’s 5,000-year history, every dynasty has left behind countless treasures, such as the Hanfu and cheongsam.
Lin Qingqian’s heart skipped a beat. She did not expect this man in front of her to be able to see through her thoughts.
Initially, she asked her master to make a cheongsam for Luo Tianxue, but even Suisui did not guess the deeper meaning behind her actions.
Seeing that she was not saying anything, Han Liubai continued slowly,
“Director Lin, I really like your understanding of styling. Even though Shi Guang Studio is not the best styling team right now, I believe that one day, we will definitely become a top styling team.”
“Thank you for thinking highly of Shi Guang, but—” Lin Qingqian paused for a moment and said hesitantly, “You also saw that our team only has three people now. The studio’s funds are limited, so your salary…”
“Salary is not a problem.” Han Liubai said gently, “You can follow the rate newbies in the country are getting.”
“Then wouldn’t I be bullying you?” Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. Han Liubai’s gaze was gentle. “It isn’t. I’m just sacrificing myself for art.”
Lin Qingqian was silent for a moment before standing up and extending her hand. “Then, I welcome you to join Shi Guang Studio. I hope that we can work together happily in the future.”
Han Liubai stood up and held her hand. “I’m looking forward to it.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.. Just as they let go, Suisui suddenly pushed open the door and hurriedly said, “Qianqian, come out and take a look!”
