Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Qin Xinying opened her eyes only to see herself in a ward. She blinked, and gave a cold smile. Since she had paid such a heavy price, no one could stop her from succeeding.
A nurse who was guarding outside came in and said with a smile when she saw Qin Xinying wake up, “Miss Qin, are you awake?”
Qin Xinying unconsciously gave the nurse her gentlest smile and nodded. “Yes, may I ask where President Xiao is…”
“Mr. Xiao received a call as soon as he took you here, so he left and hasn’t come back. I overheard that he seemed to have something urgent to attend to.” The nurse explained with a smile.
Qin Xinying nodded. “I know President Xiao is really busy. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Please take a rest. You don’t have to hurry to pay the hospitalization fees.” With that, the nurse left and considerately closed the door of the ward for Qin Xinying.
Qin Xinying stared at the ceiling in a daze. What? Hospitalization fee? Damn you, Xiao Jing!
…
A week soon passed. Tang Xi had been giving acupuncture to Qiao Yuxin and Lin Ru during this time. Lin Ru had been able to sit up and eat by herself. She could even speak simple words, such as thank you and okay. As for Qiao Yuxin, she had been able to stand up using a crutch.
Tang Xi’s company had almost finished its renovation. The company could formally recruit employees as soon as the smell of paint dissipated.
At this time, Tang Xi was having afternoon tea with He Wanyi. He Wanyi looked at Tang Xi who looked stunningly beautiful as she sat opposite her, and said with a smile. “Rourou, you rarely ask me out. Why did you ask me to have afternoon tea with you today?”
Tang Xi smiled and looked at the big star sitting opposite her as she said, “Haha, as the saying goes, one never visits unless they need something. I do have something to ask of you and it requires your help, Sister Wanyi.”
He Wanyi looked at Tang Xi who suddenly became serious, and joked, “Do you want me to do the homework that you can’t finish?” Then she laughed and continued, “If so, I can’t help you. I’ve totally forgotten what I learned in school, so I really can’t help you…”
Tang Xi was speechless. She took a sip of coffee. “I don’t have any homework…”
“No homework?” He Wanyi widened her eyes and said in surprise, “That’s unfair! Why don’t you have any homework?! I remember when I was still in high school, I had to stay at home doing homework even in the holidays! Sometimes I hadn’t finished my homework even when the holidays are over, so I never looked forward to holidays at all!”
Tang Xi shook her head and smiled. “Let’s get back to the point. I need your help, Sister Wanyi. I would like to invite you to be my company’s image spokeswoman, to be exact, its endorser.”
“Me?” He Wanyi looked at Tang Xi in surprise. “Your company?”
Tang Xi nodded. “My garment company is about to open, but I need to garner more attention from the public. I want to develop it so that it becomes a top brand, not just a flash in the pan. So I need you, a big star, to lend a hand.” Tang Xi paused, looked at He Wanyi and continued, “I know I’m kind of being shameless by saying this, but you are the only one who is a celebrity star among my friends, and I only want you to be my company’s endorser.”
He Wanyi looked at Tang Xi and said after quite a while, “Rourou, are you stupid?”
Tang Xi was stunned and looked at her. “Umm?”
He Wanyi smiled as she said, “You silly girl, now you’re a big star too! Don’t you notice the entertainment news that has been online recently?”
Tang Xi looked at He Wanyi in doubt and the latter smiled and shook her head. She took out her cell phone. “My brother released the TV commercial of Butterfly Series Perfume three days ago. Now this series is selling very well in China and its sales volume has surpassed the international top three brands. The endorser of that series has enjoyed great popularity on Microblog.”
Tang Xi didn’t believe it and He Wanyi showed her the three most searched hashtags on Microblog, “Endorser of Butterfly Perfume”, “Tang Xiao Endorsed Butterfly Perfume” and “Tang Xiao in Mask”. Tang Xi looked at the hashtags and blinked. “Your brother hasn’t told me the TV commercial has been released.”
He Wanyi smiled. “If you act as your company’s endorser, I think it will gain more attention.”
Tang Xi smiled. “But I don’t like to work in the entertainment circle. I don’t have the ability. I set up the company because my hobby is design. I like it. But I will feel pressured if I endorse my own brand, so I want to ask you to help me. If you don’t feel like it, it’s okay. I won’t force you.”
He Wanyi glanced at Tang Xi and raised her eyebrows. “How can I refuse you since you’ve asked me for help?” Then she smiled. “But I want to see your designs first. If they’re too ugly, I won’t be wearing those clothes to walk down the red carpet.”
Tang Xi looked at He Wanyi in surprise and the latter smiled. “What are you looking at?” She held her cup and took a sip of coffee. “There will be a movie festival in mid-November. I haven’t decided which evening dress to wear. Let me look at your design drawings. If I think they are good, I’ll wear the dress you will design.” She then blinked at Tang Xi. “It’s for free. You don’t have to pay me.”
Tang Xi took He Wanyi’s hand, saying, “Sister Wanyi, thank you. Don’t worry. I will design a special dress for you and you won’t feel cold in that dress.”
“It’s okay. No one will feel warm if she is in a dress in November.” He Wanyi smiled. “I don’t mind as long as the dress is beautiful. By the way, the students of your school will be walking the red carpet in dresses for the art performance of your school. As an alumna, I’ll show up in the art performance. Dress well. Don’t let me down.”
With that, she looked at Tang Xi who was in ZWS garments, and said, “I don’t think you look confident dressing like this.”
Tang Xi smiled and blinked naughtily. “I’ve prepared a dress for myself. Don’t worry. I designed it myself, and I’m sure I will be the star that shines the brightest on the red carpet when I wear it. Although I don’t want to steal the other students’ thunder.”
