“Little kitty? Wow! So cute!”

The female colleague next to him looked at Lin Xian's simple drawing, unable to put it down:

“Lin Xian, why didn’t you give such a good design draft to Sister Juan?”

Huh???

Whoosh—

Instantly!

All eyes in the meeting room shot over to this side.

Especially the colleagues from the design department, who were casting pleading glances!

"What? Let me see!"

Thump, thump, thump!

Li Juan strode over.

Right now, she was just putting on a show of strength, using her anger to cover up her panic.

In fact, she was more nervous than anyone!

Although General Manager Zhao was sitting in her chair without saying a word, everyone could tell that she was very dissatisfied! Very angry!

Snap.

Li Juan snatched Lin Xian's draft paper.

Gradually…

Her breath became calmer, her breathing even, and the raging fire on her head seemed to extinguish.

“You… you this…”

Li Juan scratched her head and smacked her lips:

“You this… I think it’s not bad!”

???

!!!

To make the picky Li Juan instantly speechless and say such affirmative words directly shocked everyone in the meeting room!

Li Juan put the draft paper in front of General Manager Zhao:

"General Manager… General Manager Zhao, take a look, this is the image Lin Xian designed for our new brand.”

After the draft paper was put down.

Everyone lifted their butts off their chairs, craning their necks to see.

On the white A4 paper, there was nothing extra.

Only a cartoon cat head drawn with a few simple strokes.

Simple.

Refreshing.

The ultimate in lines.

But it cleverly grasped every inch of expression.

Although it was just a simple drawing made with a black water-based pen… the cuteness and vitality of the cat jumped off the paper like a living thing!

For a time, everyone was discussing:

“Wow… this cat head drawn by Lin Xian is good! Really, there is an unspeakable cuteness and refinement.”

“This, this looks even more adorable than Hello Kitty to me. Kitty Cat is actually too ladylike and doesn't have a mouth. And Lin Xian's cat really gives people a more youthful and energetic feeling!”

“Young, girly, age-reducing, vitality… the cat drawn by Lin Xian perfectly matches the keywords of our new brand! Lin Xian is so amazing, why didn’t you take out such a good design draft earlier?”

“A good brand image should be simple enough, so that it can be more recognizable and more conducive to communication. I think in this regard… Lin Xian's cat has something in common with Kitty Cat, Mickey Mouse, and Doraemon."

……

This cute and simple cat head received unanimous praise from the design department colleagues!

Li Juan, whose heart had been hanging in her throat, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at General Manager Zhao timidly…

Waiting for her to speak.

Zhao Yingjun.

Is the founder of this MX company, and also the current chairman.

After returning from studying abroad, she founded MX Beauty Company, and in just less than two years, she has become a little famous among young people.

Beautiful, with temperament, and with means and talent, just like the heroine who came out of an urban novel!

At this time, she was staring at the draft paper in front of her, lost in thought.

Everyone was waiting for her to speak!

Finally…

Zhao Yingjun's willow eyebrows relaxed:

"Not bad."

“Right… right, General Manager Zhao! Hahaha, look, our design team still has talented people!”

When Li Juan saw that her crisis was resolved, she frantically praised Lin Xian:

“Lin Xian is our team's secret weapon! The cornerstone! The sea-stabilizing needle! Ahem… Generally, for this kind of artistic talent, I give them absolute creative freedom, never interfere, and don't ask too much.”

"Lin Xian, quickly tell General Manager Zhao how you designed this cat image? What is the source of inspiration?"

Zhao Yingjun also raised her head, looking at Lin Xian with a hint of expectation.

“I dreamed about it.”

Lin Xian told the truth.

“Lin Xian, you! Sigh…”

Li Juan sighed with disappointment.

Really… what a good opportunity to show off! This silly child doesn’t know how to cherish it at all!

Many colleagues were amused by Lin Xian’s words, he really dared to say it.

But Zhao Yingjun smiled and nodded:

“You think about it during the day, and you dream about it at night. Many great inventions and creations in history have been completed in dreams.”

“The chemist Mendeleev, after working hard for three days and three nights, put together the *Periodic Table of Elements* in his dream.”

“Einstein also dreamed of himself skiing and was inspired to begin thinking about the influence of the speed of light, and then he proposed the *Special Theory of Relativity*.”

“But it is undeniable that without early efforts and accumulation, just dreaming will definitely not produce results. Presumably, Lin Xian… usually puts a lot of effort and hard work into this project.”

Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap! ! !

Not knowing who started it, the entire conference room burst into applause for Lin Xian.

Making Lin Xian a little embarrassed.

He didn’t deserve it.

“But…”

After the applause subsided, Zhao Yingjun picked up the draft paper again and looked at the cute cat head and said:

“Just a cat head is definitely not enough. Whether it’s printing packaging, making posters, or doing brand tie-ins… we need a full-body image.”

“Including limbs, clothes, shoes… Although these can be changed later, we must have an original plan for reference.”

Zhao Yingjun put down the draft paper and looked at Lin Xian:

“Lin Xian, could you please draw the cat’s body and clothes as well?”

After hearing Zhao Yingjun’s words, everyone suddenly felt that they were happy too early.

Indeed.

You can't just have a head!

What is the body of this cartoon cat like? What is the proportion? What pose? What clothes to wear? What shoes?

Everyone looked at Lin Xian expectantly.

And at this time Lin Xian… was tactically drinking water.

This…

He took a sip of tea.

The Da Lian Mao (Big-Faced Cat) mask only had a cat's head, who knows what the cat's body looks like!

But this didn't stump Lin Xian.

The one who tied the bell must untie it.

Go to the dream again to find Da Lian Mao and ask him clearly about the origin of the mask on his face.

"No problem."

Lin Xian put down his teacup:

“The design drafts are all at home, I’ll bring them over tomorrow.”

……

In the evening.

After washing up.

Lin Xian glanced at the bedside clock, it was 21:01 now.

Through yesterday’s dream, Lin Xian had already figured out the complete context of the matter—

The cause was that Da Lian Mao and the female cryptography expert agreed to rob a bank together.

They didn't know each other, so they agreed on a [secret code].

The one wearing the cat mask is Da Lian Mao.

The one wearing the Ultraman mask is the cryptography expert.

Yesterday, it was because Lin Xian picked up an Ultraman mask and put it on, so Da Lian Mao mistakenly thought he was the cryptography expert and took him to rob the bank.

“Therefore, today I only need to wear the Ultraman mask like yesterday… Da Lian Mao will definitely appear again.”

Lin Xian closed the window.

He had already experienced the cold winter wind yesterday, so he had to cover himself with another quilt today.

He set the alarm clock, put his phone on the bedside table, and turned off the light.

"Sleep."

……

……

Whoosh!

A hot summer breeze brushed past, and Lin Xian smelled a unique fragrance of tender green branches and leaves.

He opened his eyes.

In the brightly lit square, children chased each other.

“Hehehehe! Catch me! Catch me!”

“Take this! Ultraman sliding tackle!”

“I want candied haws! Waaah waaaah wooo wooo!”

“I don’t want to go home! I still want to play!”

“Mom! I want to ride a bike!”

Lin Xian looked up at the electronic bulletin board standing in the center of the square. The upper right corner showed the time—
