After Transmigrating, I Married the Male Lead’s Sister (GL) - Chapter 45
Li Suimei’s eyes lit up. She looked at the boy and instantly imagined the scene of a wealthy woman keeping a young lover.
“Excuse me,” Qin Qing said.
Li Suimei moved aside in small steps and winked at the boy, mouthing, “Hello!”
“…….”
Qin Qing pursed her lips, “Let’s go.”
The boy bowed to Li Suimei and then left quickly with Qin Qing.
As soon as they were gone, Li Suimei immediately took out her phone to gossip with Fu Yanxiao. How should she put it? Should she say that Qin Qing was keeping a young lover? That wouldn’t be appropriate.
She hovered her thumb over the send button for a long time, worried about shattering Fu Yanxiao’s idol dream, and finally didn’t send it.
The 21st floor was a mess. As soon as Li Suimei walked in, she could hear at least five people arguing.
“I want this room… I’ll put a desk here, a sofa here, and exactly ten shelves for my figures!”
“I want a circular bar…”
“There has to be a massage chair!” someone else said, “My back hurts.”
“We should paint murals on the walls, using the prototypes of our company’s game characters, don’t even spare the toilet…”
Li Minglang: “…”
“We should also have an activity room, not too big, just the size of four basketball courts. An arcade, billiards, electric motorcycles…”
Everyone chatted together, “Isn’t that too extravagant? I heard that the rent here is very expensive!”
“I think a basketball court-sized activity room is really too much!”
“Isn’t it even more extravagant to have a separate rest room with a king-size bed for each person?”
They argued back and forth, and no one was willing to give in. Finally, they all turned to blame Li Minglang, “Why don’t you rent two floors?”
Li Minglang: “…”
Someone kindly reminded them, “The office is provided by President Qin, the fiancee of Miss Li’s sister, for free.”
This person gestured with five fingers, “The annual rent is this much!”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they started discussing enthusiastically again. They didn’t want the office anymore, nor did they want to work. They would just rent out the house and make millions in a year!
Everyone could split the money evenly, and Mr. Li could get an extra 20,000 yuan as a hard-working fee, so they wouldn’t have to work hard to make money anymore, and they could all live a carefree life.
Li Suimei: “…”
Maybe people who make games are a bit silly, Li Suimei comforted herself, and then knocked on the office door.
Several men and women turned to look at her. The next moment, they turned their heads and rubbed their eyes vigorously. When they looked again, Li Suimei was standing there, looking more eye-catching than a big star!
“Meimei, come here.” Li Minglang waved. Li Suimei walked over with a smile and looked at the silly group.
Li Minglang introduced them one by one. They were all small leaders in the team and had come to see the company with Li Minglang first. The rest of the staff would move in after the office was renovated.
Li Suimei smiled sweetly, “Long story short, just give me a brief introduction to your needs.”
The few rough men suddenly became reserved in front of Li Suimei.
“You’re the professional, you decide.”
“Different fields are like different mountains. You decide.”
“You’re more beautiful, so beautiful people get to decide.”
Li Suimei: “…”
“Cough, I think we can make a place for the girls to have afternoon tea.”
Li Suimei smiled, and her smile was so dazzling that the men’s demands became less excessive.
“As for the activity room, we can simply put in a few entertainment facilities, enough for everyone to de-stress. It doesn’t need to be too big, just ordinary.”
“I don’t need that massage chair.”
“Ten figure shelves? Even I think that’s exaggerated, hahaha.”
Li Minglang kicked him, “You’re so useless!”
They had a short meeting, and after that, everyone wanted to take a photo with Li Suimei.
Li Suimei readily agreed, and everyone took out their phones. Li Suimei originally thought that one photo would be enough, but these silly guys were picky and didn’t want to take photos with each other. They only wanted to take selfies with Li Suimei, treating her like a tourist attraction. They lined up in an orderly manner to take photos and then post them on social media.
Li Suimei: “…”
Li Minglang laughed loudly, casually saved the pictures from his circle of friends and forwarded them to Li Suimei.
“Don’t argue with these idiots, all they care about are games.”
Li Suimei nodded and put the floor plan given by Li Minglang in her notebook. She closed the notebook and said, “Then I’ll go first.”
Several people sent Li Suimei off together, and when she was out of sight, they gathered together and screamed loudly.
“Goddess!!”
“So cute! So beautiful! It’s such a contradiction!”
“I don’t have any impure thoughts at all!!”
Li Minglang: “…”
A burly man stepped forward and punched Li Minglang in the chest, “Boss Li, your sister is really amazing. You said before that she wouldn’t help!”
Li Minglang coughed, “Ouch! Damn it, can you be a little gentler!”
He muttered to himself, “I find it strange too. This girl has changed a lot. Did she suddenly become sensible because she’s getting married?”
Li Minglang briefly explained the reason, and his subordinates all sighed.
The renovation of Li Minglang’s office took more than a week just to finalize the initial draft. There were too many designers, and each one had a rich imagination. Li Minglang was so overwhelmed that he had to constantly ask Li Suimei to come to the company to keep his subordinates in line.
Back and forth, he went to Li Minglang’s company more frequently than to Qin Qing’s design company.
Fortunately, Li Suimei didn’t have to go to the building materials market herself. Li Minglang arranged for others to do the dirty work. In the blink of an eye, the plan was finalized. When Li Suimei relaxed and came to her senses, a week had already passed.
“It’s done!”
In the morning, Li Suimei was half-asleep while brushing her teeth, her black hair hanging down messily. In a half-awake state, she suddenly remembered Mr. Yan!
Li Suimei hurriedly picked up her phone and scrolled through the sea of messages to find Mr. Yan’s WeChat. Sure enough, there were several unread messages from a few days ago. She had been so busy at that time that she hadn’t replied to many.
Li Suimei typed on the keyboard and tentatively asked, “[Teacher, are you in the studio now?]”.
After sending it, she breathed a sigh of relief that she hadn’t been blocked. Li Suimei started a face mask.
Half an hour later, while Li Suimei was basking in the sun, she still hadn’t received a reply. Li Suimei sent another message.
“[…strict friend verification is enabled…]”
Li Suimei: “…”

“Hahahaha, I told you the old man has a strange temper! You didn’t believe me!”
Fu Yanxiao laughed loudly, sent Li Suimei Mr. Yan’s address, and mocked Li Suimei over the phone.
Li Suimei opened the address, called a driver, and expressionlessly hung up the phone, cutting off the laughter on the other end.
The driver: “…..”
In a hurry, Li Suimei received another message from the school on the way.
In mid-to-late August, the fourth year was about to start, and the school sent a message to remind the students, especially those studying art, not to be too carefree or have too much fun and forget that they had to return to school.
At the same time, the long-silent class group became active.
Li Suimei blinked and looked at the key information in the next day’s message…
“School anniversary?”
Li Suimei looked up at the sky, “…I almost forgot I was still a student.”
The group was discussing enthusiastically. The school anniversary would be held at the beginning of the school year, and the school hoped to find a famous and prestigious figure to give a speech.
Li Suimei tapped the screen, and soon someone started tagging each other, discussing the big shots they knew.
“The mayor is coming!”
“Who else? I know the director of Feiyang, but he doesn’t really match the atmosphere of our school.”
The students in the art school came from well-off families. They knew at least four or five CEOs.
Everyone discussed back and forth, and they all felt that the big shots they knew were either too old or too young and bald or middle-aged and overweight.
A figure flashed through Li Suimei’s mind.
Soon, someone in the group tagged her.
[Meimei, aren’t you Qin Qing? Aren’t you about to get engaged to Qin Zhan?]
[Ah, congratulations!]
For a moment, the group was filled with joy and excitement, like a wedding scene.
[Since that’s the case, it shouldn’t be difficult to invite Qin Qing to say a few words at the school, right?]
Li Suimei turned off her phone, pinched the bridge of her nose with her thumb and index finger, imitating Qin Qing’s usual gesture, and thought, are you crazy or am I crazy? Asking Qin Qing to come to school and play house with a bunch of kids?
The car stopped at Mr. Yan’s residence. The location was in a more upscale villa area, and at least as far as the eye could see, the villas were not as densely packed as the previous row houses.
Li Suimei rang the doorbell, and a voice with a slight accent came from the intercom, “Who is it?”
“Hello, I’m Li Suimei. I’m here to see the teacher.”
The door opened, and the person inside gestured for Li Suimei to come in. As she walked, someone said, “Sorry, miss, we’ve neglected you.”
Li Suimei nodded, “It’s okay, I’m the one who broke my promise. Please take this to the kitchen for the teacher to nourish his body.”
She handed the servant a fruit basket and a small thermos, which contained a thick soup she had packed from a five-star hotel.
“Mr. Yan is entertaining a distinguished guest.”
Li Suimei: “A distinguished guest?”
Li Suimei bypassed the escalator and went straight to the 3rd floor by elevator.
Mr. Yan was a workaholic. His home was practically a mini-office, with the same interior design as his other workspace.
“Your talent is undeniable. The group has decided to allocate a portion of its funds to the design field this year. On the one hand, we want to promote our brand name, and on the other hand, it’s also a way to repay the teacher for his guidance…”
Mr. Yan’s voice softened. “The last competition was a fluke. You didn’t need to come all this way.”
Qin Qing was sitting directly opposite the door and could see Li Suimei as she entered. She closed her mouth, and Mr. Yan turned around to see Li Suimei.
Li Suimei hurriedly said, “You stinky girl!”
Li Suimei raised her hand in surrender, scolding herself before Mr. Yan could, so the old man felt too dignified to say anything more.
Mr. Yan said, “You’re so clever!”
Li Suimei smiled and waved to Qin Qing.
Their laughter, scolding, nods, and gestures clearly showed their close relationship.
Qin Qing frowned, “You know Teacher Yan?”
Li Suimei nodded, “I’ve met him twice. He’s my teacher now.”
Qin Qing snorted and sneered, “Is this the third time now?”
Li Suimei nodded.
The atmosphere was awkward. Li Suimei didn’t know why she had upset Qin Qing.
“Qin…”
“Call me sister, or Huaiyan,” Qin Qing said.
Li Suimei: “…Why are you here?”
Mr. Yan said proudly, “As the organizer of Victoria, Ms. Qin came to visit me, the champion.”
It turned out that was it. Li Suimei smiled and pointed to the work area next to her, “Then I’ll go busy?”
“Okay,” Mr. Yan nodded.
Li Suimei went to draw, and Mr. Yan and Qin Qing chatted in a small meeting room separated by a wall.
Who should she design the dress for? For herself? Li Suimei held her face in her hands and stood in front of the dressing mirror. She was indeed beautiful, but would it seem too narcissistic for a designer to make clothes for herself?
The designed clothes were usually put on models, but there always needed to be a lively reference for the clothing making process.
Next door, Qin Qing’s clear voice came through, “Yes, it would be best if you could come as a judge.”
“Yes, you’re welcome…”
Qin Qing finished talking with Mr. Yan and got up to leave. As she walked towards the entrance, the side door of the studio was open, revealing Qin Qing’s tall and slender back. Li Suimei almost subconsciously began to imagine Qin Qing’s measurements in her mind…
Li Suimei’s eyes lit up!
