273: Chapter 274: Understanding a Bit 273: Chapter 274: Understanding a Bit Back then, Shen Zhigang and Tang Shuzhen had just established a clothing company primarily focused on silk, which only grew and expanded over the next decade. Now, Xingyue Group had become the largest clothing corporate group in Jiangnan Province, specializing primarily in women’s lingerie, renowned nationwide. When Ye Qiu followed Shen Yueru inside, he noticed the garden villa complex, which, although somewhat old, indeed had a strong garden-style allure. In this regard, it looked much better than the garden villa where Li Qianqian’s parents lived. There were garden-style villa buildings, artificial mountains and fish ponds, pavilions, artificial rivers, lotus ponds, and more—all very beautiful indeed. The area totaled two thousand square meters, which back then would have been calculated at thirty million, roughly fifteen thousand per square meter. Ye Qiu thought that was about the right price. But now, it had appreciated by almost tenfold, if not more. Now in the Shen Family’s garden villa, originally lived Shen Zhigang, Tang Shuzhen, Shen Yueru, along with a maid, a chef, a Pug, and a tabby cat—certainly much better than the old apartment Ye Qiu lived in. By now, when Shen Xingru had returned here, the baby boy had also been brought back, along with the nanny who looked after Shen Xingru. There were only a few more people, but in a garden villa of over two thousand square meters, it still felt very spacious. When Ye Qiu was just following Shen Xingru toward the main villa hall, Shen Zhigang and Tang Shuzhen had already come out to greet him. Shen Zhigang said with a smile, “Dr. Ye, welcome.” Tang Shuzhen also greeted Ye Qiu who nodded in response, and after entering, took a seat on the sofa in the hall. When a maid brought tea, Shen Zhigang said, “Bring over the best West Lake Longjing.” While the maid went to get the West Lake Longjing for brewing, Ye Qiu surveyed the interior decoration, finding it very luxurious and featured typical garden-like characteristics. Shen Yueru brought Ye Qiu in and then left. While in the room watching Zhang Zhizhi, when Shen Xingru heard Ye Qiu had come, she handed the baby boy to her younger sister and said, “I’m going out to greet Dr. Ye.” Regardless, Shen Xingru knew that Ye Qiu had saved her life twice; had it not been for Ye Qiu, she would have died the last time, and this time, when she was again close to death, she was saved by Ye Qiu. After Shen Xingru straightened her clothes and came out of the room, she saw Ye Qiu chatting with her parents. Usually, Ye Qiu spoke very little, but with the “soul consciousness” he had absorbed, he knew astronomy and geography—as if he were a living encyclopedia. Shen Zhigang soon realized that Ye Qiu was not only skilled in medical skills, but also very knowledgeable in other areas. “Dr. Ye, from the conversation just now, you seem to know a lot about silk?” “Fairly well.” Ye Qiu was naturally familiar with silk, having absorbed soul consciousnesses of several people who had worked with silk. When Shen Xingru came out and greeted Ye Qiu, then sat next to Tang Shuzhen, she realized that when Ye Qiu spoke about the development of silk, he was not merely reciting history; he was speaking offhand. Ye Qiu was still a high school senior, a fact the Shen couple knew, and they thought he was particularly knowledgeable about these humanities subjects. After Ye Qiu finished speaking, the maid had already brewed the Longjing tea. When Shen Zhigang personally poured the tea for Ye Qiu, he took a sip and found it truly excellent. He had tasted tea since coming to this world, but this was the first time he had tasted such good tea, even when he had visited Li Qianqian’s parents’ house, the tea there was only average. “I heard you also understand something about clothing design?” Shen Zhigang asked curiously again. “Some,” Ye Qiu replied. When Ye Qiu casually mentioned some knowledge related to clothing design, not only did it surprise Shen Zhigang and his wife, but it also surprised Shen Xingru. The three of them couldn’t understand how the young Ye Qiu, aside from his impressive medical skills, also seemed to have a broad understanding in other areas. Ye Qiu had originally wanted to discuss the current situation in the clothing industry with Shen Zhigang and his wife, but another maid busy in the kitchen came over and said, “Mr. Shen, the meal is ready.” Since that was the case, Shen Zhigang thought it best to go and have lunch first. As Shen Zhigang called Ye Qiu, then headed to a separate dining room, Ye Qiu followed Shen Zhigang, Tang Shuzhen, and Shen Xingru to this private dining area. Ye Qiu found it was beside a lotus pond, offering a beautiful view of the lotus pond beside it and a chance to enjoy the breeze. After Shen Yueru handed the baby boy over to the nanny, she then came over to sit down. However, she didn’t know why her parents were so cheerful talking with Ye Qiu moments ago. As Shen Yueru took her seat, Shen Zhigang said, “Yueru, don’t think Ye Doctor is younger than you, he knows much more than you do.” “Dad, is it about medical skills? If it’s medical skills, of course, I don’t understand anything.” Shen Yueru thought her father was speaking about medical skills. “Of course not, but clothing design. I fear you, a top graduate in the fashion design field, can’t compare to Doctor Ye.” Shen Yueru had initially studied fashion design at Jinling University and then joined her father’s company, learning clothing design from senior employees before gradually moving into management. However, in terms of clothing design, Shen Yueru felt she could tell whether the clothes produced would have a market or not, as long as she saw the design drawings and samples. Thus, even though she was now the president of the company, whether to proceed with production still needed her final decision. “Impossible, I don’t believe it,” Shen Yueru said outright. If it were about medical skills, Shen Yueru knew she definitely couldn’t compare to Ye Qiu since she knew nothing in that area, but when it came to fashion design, she felt it was impossible for Ye Qiu to match her. So, hearing her father speak like that, she thought he was just flattering Ye Qiu intentionally. Given her personality, she definitely wouldn’t accept it. Ye Qiu just smiled and said nothing. “Let’s eat first, and then we can talk.” Tang Shuzhen said. Ye Qiu noticed that the chef had prepared what seemed to be typical Jiangnan family dishes, which were quite plentiful. The large rotating table had almost fifteen dishes and two additional soups. Neither the chef nor the two nannies were going to join them at the table, so now, with just Ye Qiu and the Shen family, five people in total, the table was indeed richly laden with food.
