Amused by Qiao Liang’s words, Tang Xi reached out to pat Qiao Liang on the shoulder, and then lowered her head to continue to design the invitation card, saying, “What are you talking about? Although I hit the headlines twice and have had certain visibility in City A, my appeal is still small. Not many people know me. How can I be the endorser of my company?”
“I didn’t mean Xiao Rou.” Tang Xi gazed deeply at Qiao Liang. Seeing Tang Xi looking at him in puzzlement, he raised his eyebrows before saying, “I mean, let Tang Xi be the endorser. You know Tang Xi is somebody in the fashion industry.”
Tang Xi paused and was at a loss at what to say. She stared at Qiao Liang with wide eyes, for quite a while before she found her voice. She pointed at herself, asking, “Tang Xi?”
“Yes.” Qiao Liang said with a smile. “You know how many friends Tang Xi has in the fashion industry. Design directors of famous fashion companies lined up to design clothes for her, and many well-known designers whom even A-listers try to make friends with are her good friends. She is a fashion icon, and any clothes she wore will become popular. If Tang Xi becomes the endorser of The Queen, people will rush to buy the products of The Queen!”
Tang Xi took a deep breath. To be honest, she thought what Qiao Liang said made sense. Especially, if she herself served as the endorser, she didn’t have to pay the endorsement fee and could gain a lot of resources and channels with the identity of Tang Xi. Besides, she could recommend The Queen to the top magazines in the world. Once The Queens obtains international visibility, then…
“And I’ve contacted some famous models. They have agreed to work the show of The Queen, including the hottest Chinese models. Wenjie, the best model in Asia, will step out first in the show. This will…”
Tang Xi had to admit that she had been convinced by Qiao Liang who solved a big problem for her in a few words, but she still had a lot matters to deal with. The cloth and jewelry used in the show were bought with a bank loan. Both Qiao Liang and her family had offered to financially support her, but she wanted to depend on herself…
That would be a totally different story if this show succeeded. She would be able to pay back the loan and wouldn’t have to worry about money.
Tang Xi pondered, then heaved a breath and looked at Qiao Liang, saying, “If I become the endorser, I’ll have to show up in each show of The Queen in the fashion week. I’ll attend The Queen’s show Next Tuesday. Although there won’t be many celebrities in that show, it might attract some eyeballs with the presence of me and Sister Wanyi.”
“But Sister Wanyi is the endorser of Chanel. Will she be violating the contract with Chanel, if she shows up in my show?” Tang Xi said worriedly. Although she hoped He Wanyi could come to support her, she didn’t want to get her in trouble. In any case, Chanel was a top fashion brand. It would be a serious issue for Sister Wanyi if Chanel sued her.
“Her contract with Chanel has expired two days ago, but I heard that Chanel has sent a contract renewal request to He Wanyi.” Qiao Liang took out a credit card and handed it to Tang Xi. “Tomorrow…”
“I don’t need your money. I’m in Paris, so I don’t need to buy any clothes.” Tang Xi said. With that she took out her cell phone and walked aside before she dialed a certain number. After the other side picked up the call, she said in French, “Hey, Roy, I’m in Paris now. I got here the day before yesterday. I was wandering around so I didn’t contact you. I’m going to watch some shows. Can you prepare me some clothes?”
“Oh? Yes? That’s great. I’m in my apartment in Paris. Just come over tomorrow. Ok, bye.” Tang Xi hung up the call and turned her eyes to Qiao Liang, saying, “Tang Xi doesn’t need to buy anything in Paris.” She continued, “Although I don’t mind using your money, I don’t want people to get the wrong idea and think that I’m with you for your money. That’s why I’d rather get a loan from the bank than turn to you for help.”
She wanted to prove herself, and she didn’t want Qiao Liang’s friends to look down upon her.
Qiao Liang gazed at Tang Xi and said, “I’m going to Marseilles Provence with Lu Li this evening. It may take me three days roundtrip so Little Six will accompany you before I come back, okay?”
Tang Xi frowned, asking, “Why are you going there?” She looked at Qiao Liang and asked, “You came here to accompany me, right? Why are you going to Marseilles? Do you have to go there?”
Qiao Liang was pleased to see Tang Xi trying to keep him with her. He rubbed at Tang Xi’s hair with a smile, explaining, “Nothing serious. We’ll just go to visit a plant of ours where an accident happened. Since we are already in France, we should go visit there. Don’t worry about me.”
Tang Xi took a deep breath, gazed at Qiao Liang and nodded after quite a while, saying, “Remember to send me messages. Tell me about your whereabouts. Otherwise, I’ll be worried about you.”
Qiao Liang hummed in response, and rubbed at her hair again. “Go to sleep.”
“Wait.” Tang Xi took his hand. “Go take a shower. I have to design the invitation card first. I’ll stay with you tonight. Then you can have a good rest. Otherwise I’ll be worried if you go to Marseilles tomorrow.”
Qiao Liang paused and smiled, saying, “It’s alright.”
“It’s not alright! You’ll be absent-minded without sufficient sleep. You are going to Marseilles to work not to travel. What if you run into danger? If you have enough sleep, at least you will be quicker to respond to any emergencies that may occur and won’t be so easily injured.” Tang Xi said seriously, “I’m too busy to go with you. Can’t you just take my advice and not make me worry about you?”
After knowing the other identity of Qiao Liang, she was so worried about him every time he went somewhere alone. She feared hearing bad news about Qiao Liang and had been worrying about him.
Qiao Liang felt warm yet guilty when he saw Tang Xi so worried about him. He hid his feelings and just said, “Okay, I’m going to take a shower. Don’t work too late.”
