Chapter 187 That Rabbit Lamp is so ugly (3)
When Li Yang received Xu Feng's invitation, he was looking for a house with his wife and daughter! They planned to find a house in F City that was closer to F University. If Li Ansu really came here to study for a master's degree, he would not live on campus, but would go to school as a commuter.
Li's mother, Wu Xinyu, doesn't care where she lives. She is a freelance illustrator who works from home.
I was quite productive before I became famous. Later, when I became more famous, my royalties increased. Now I receive manuscripts regularly. My income may not be higher than Li Yang's, but it's okay.
"Xiao Su, that was the Professor Xu I mentioned just now. His wife is Meng Yi, your teacher's classmate." Li Yang said with a smile, "He asked our family to have dinner together tomorrow. But don't be too nervous, just treat it as a family dinner. Did you bring any formal clothes this time?"
Li Ansu shook her head. When she was packing her luggage today, she found a lot of light-colored dresses in her closet. They were all gauze and lace. They were too childish.
In fact, she didn't quite understand the previous aesthetic and why people liked those clothes that looked cumbersome.
After hearing what her daughter said, Wu Xinyu suggested: "Then let's go to the mall and buy you some suitable clothes later."
Li Ansu nodded. After all, the person she would meet tomorrow might be her graduate supervisor, so it was necessary to leave a good impression on him.
"Don't worry, Xiaosu, everything will go smoothly." Wu Xinyu saw that her daughter seemed a little too nervous, so she comforted her, "It's just an ordinary family dinner, don't be too restrained."
"Okay, I understand, Mom." Although Li Ansu was still a little nervous, she felt that tomorrow was just a relatively ordinary lunch party.
Afterwards, the family of three came to a large shopping mall nearby.
Unlike her previous habits, Li Ansu chose a simple and elegant dress this time, and also bought a few simple shirts and matching pants.
The color is no longer pink, but white.
Instead, the colors are relatively bright green, yellow, or even bright red.
These clothes are appropriate for formal occasions without being too serious.
Finally, Li Ansu also matched it with a pair of versatile black mid-heel shoes.
To be honest, Wu Xinyu still likes this change in her daughter.
After all! She is at a young and beautiful age, and her daughter is so pretty, why should she dress to please others?
What do you mean by "the lanterns are bright enough, so I should wear something plainer"? What kind of talk is that! Since he dislikes bright colors, he should just paint his own lanterns white with black characters.
When I was making lanterns, I liked all kinds of colors, but I wanted my daughter to wear plain colors. What a thing!
What's the best thing about girls being without makeup? Then why does his sister's face look like it's painted white? Such a double-standard "dog" should just spend the rest of his life with his lantern and sister, and never "enter" society to harm others again.
No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I have to think of a way to cause some trouble for their family, or at least prevent them from coming to visit during this period of time.
Before going to bed at night, Wu Xinyu talked about this matter with her husband Li Yang.
Who knows
"Don't worry, their family will probably be in chaos for a while!" Li Yang explained, "My position has been officially terminated, but I asked the person who will replace me not to tell the headquarters that I came.
And he also told us to handle future matters impartially, and to use the Qu family's goods if they can be used, and to change suppliers if they cannot be used."
In fact, generally speaking, the quality of Qu's lanterns is still good, and the design is also okay, but due to the high cost, compared with other suppliers, their advantages may not be obvious, and the cost performance is slightly worse.
When Li Yang was around, he would lean on both sides when signing the contract and try to create a win-win situation.
However, the person who replaces Li Yang may not be so kind. Perhaps he will still use the Qu family's lanterns, but the profit margin will probably continue to be squeezed.
Of course, these are not things that the current Li family would consider. After all, Li Yang has realized over the years that unequal efforts cannot be exchanged for true friendship.
It's the same at all times.
In the evening of the next day, Li Ansu changed into her newly bought dress and put on light makeup at her mother's suggestion. She looked much more mature and confident than before.
Li Yang and Wu Xinyu also put on appropriate clothes, and the family went to the agreed restaurant.
After arriving at the restaurant, Li Ansu saw Xu Feng and Meng Yi and their wife, who warmly welcomed the three members of the Li family.
Although Li Ansu had never met Professor Meng in person, she had seen her photos in some professional academic magazines, so she recognized this outstanding scholar at a glance.
"Hello, Professor Xu and Professor Meng!" Li Ansu greeted them with a smile.
The gentle voice made Xu Youcheng, who had been sitting in the corner of the private room, suddenly raise his head.
