Yang Ming’s answer immediately made the atmosphere at the event location a little awkward. Fortunately, the assistant then gave Murong Qiao an answer seriously.
“Well probably give an answer in a few days after the audition ends. At that time, if we confirm the specific candidate, well contact his manager or company to discuss the follow-up matters.”
With that, the assistant carried out his work and brought Ning Xiunian to the interview.
Murong Qiao nodded and completely ignored Yang Ming. She said to Ning
Xiunian, “Then Ill leave first.”
Ning Xiunian waved his hand. “Just wait for my good news.”
The two of them communicated so smoothly that Yang Ming, who was standing at the side, simply turned into air.
Ning Xiunian was about to audition, and Murong Qiao couldn’t be bothered with such a person.
She had more important things to do. Wasting time here with such a person would only make her feel like a fool.
After Murong Qiao finished speaking to Ning Xiunian, she took the elevator in the opposite direction and left.
Seeing that the other party didn’t even look at him and that Ning Xiunian seemed to be provoking him just now, Yang Ming cursed softly.
“Who do you think you are? To dare to snatch it from me?”
He was extremely frustrated and left.
Murong Qiao didn’t care about this at all. After getting off the elevator and leaving, she took a taxi towards the Yunkai Building beside the Huo Corporation.
Ruan Ying and Shen Xi, who had already gathered, were waiting for her to arrive.
Noon could be said to be the peak period of the mall.
Ruan Ying and Shen Xi had just come out of the jewelry shop at the side. The bodyguard following them was holding their “trophies”.
“Just help me send these home,” Ruan Ying instructed the bodyguard.
It was not easy for her to find someone to play with, so Ruan Ying naturally spent a lot of money in high spirits.
Shen Xi looked at her rosy face. She didn’t know if it was because she was shopping or because there were too many people around.
Her eyes lit up slightly, and she looked quite excited. “Is Qiaoqiao here?”
“It’s almost time.” Ruan Ying glanced at the time. There were still ten minutes before their agreed time.
“Perfect.” Ruan Ying waved the small gift bag in her hand. “I can give her the gift myself.”
When they came out to shop, the two of them didn’t only play by themselves. They also chose gifts for Murong Qiao and An Nuo.
An Nuo’s was sent home by the bodyguard first. Because Murong Qiao could come over personally, they could pass her the gift directly.
“I hope she likes it.” Shen Xi pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was a little embarrassed.
Ruan Ying teased her casually, “This is an aesthetic taste influenced by designer Yan Xiu. Qiaoqiao will definitely like it!”
Ever since Ruan Ying found out about Shen Xi’s feelings, she would comment about it from time to time.
“You—” Shen Xi blushed in embarrassment.
Ruan Ying was happy to tease the other party. No matter how many times she said it, Shen Xi would always reveal such a shy expression, making people unable to get tired of it.
“Alright, alright. Let’s find a place to rest first and wait for Qiaoqiao to come over.” Ruan Ying changed the topic.
If she continued teasing her, she would explode.
Moreover, there were too many people in the mall at noon. Shen Xi had asthma and was weak. Ruan Ying had always remembered this.
The two of them found a dessert shop and sat down. Then, they sent the exact location to Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao had also arrived at the mall at this moment. After receiving Ruan Ying’s message, she found the two of them without much effort.
“Long time no see.” Murong Qiao sat opposite the two of them.
The design of the shop was quite beautiful. According to the forest style that was close to nature, various plants and flowers were added to the shop as decorations. In addition, the three of them were currently on the balcony, and the scenery could be said to be infinitely good.
“Here, the gift we picked out for you.” Ruan Ying couldn’t wait to hand the bag
to her.
Murong Qiao naturally opened it and saw an extremely exquisite set of sea-blue jewelry quietly placed inside. It was a necklace and a pair of earrings. A silver gem that was as deep as the sea was embedded in it, making one unable to take their eyes off it.
“Thank you. I like it very much.” Murong Qiao accepted the gift solemnly. She never let down her friend’s kindness, let alone Shen Xi, who rarely come
out.
“Shall we watch a movie later? I saw that a new movie has been released recently, and it’s starring An Nuo!” Ruan Ying suggested.
In terms of chasing celebrities, Ruan Ying could be An Nuo’s true fan.
There’s the saying that proximity to favorable conditions or resources often leads to greater opportunities or benefits. Ruan Ying could be said to be chasing after celebrities at a close distance with her relationship with An Nuo. She even took the opportunity to sneak into An Nuo’s fan support club to become the vice president and talk about An Nuo all day long.
Murong Qiao shook her head apologetically. “I still have an appointment in the afternoon—”
“Alright, alright. I know you need to look for your boyfriend.” Ruan Ying pretended to roll her eyes.
However, in the next second, she turned her attention to Shen Xi. “By the way, how has it been with Yan Xiu recently?”
“I, we… there’s nothing yet.” Shen Xi coughed lightly.
Strictly speaking, she was still in the unrequited love phase now, although the other party had agreed to her invitation last time with Xiao Gu’s help.
But after that invitation…
Thinking of how Yan Xiu had buried his head in his designs the moment he returned to the studio, Shen Xi puffed up her cheeks in pity and regret, and she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
“Perhaps we’re not compatible.” Shen Xi was a little listless, like a flower
slapped by the rain.
She spoke hesitantly. “And I’m always sick. And I have asthma. I don’t want to
cause him trouble.”
Shen Xi had been raised by the Shen family since she was young. Because she was weak, she usually had a lot of problems.
Therefore, when she interacted with people other than her family, Shen Xi
couldn’t help but worry more.
“It’s already a good thing that he didn’t refuse,” Murong Qiao said.
She supported her cheek with one hand and smiled at Shen Xi to encourage her. “With Fourth Brother’s personality, if he dislikes someone, he won’t let you do these things at all.”
Although Murong Qiao didn’t know what her Fourth Brother was thinking, she was certain that Yan Xiu at least didn’t hate Shen Xi.
“Just chase after him boldly,” Ruan Ying added. “With such a quiet personality, you can try the method of cooking frogs in warm water. Perhaps he might be cooked one day.”
Although this analogy didn’t seem right, Shen Xi, who was originally a little depressed, felt much better after hearing their words.
“Don’t just think about this. It’s rare for us to be together. Let’s walk around more.” Ruan Ying pulled the two of them out without another word.
The shopping mall had also passed its peak period, so there were not many people.
The three girls walked side by side. They were beautiful, cute, and quiet. They each had their own styles and could be said to have attracted the attention of many passers-by.
When she passed by a clothing shop, Shen Xi couldn’t help but stop and take a few more glances at a beautiful white dress inside.
“Huh?” Murong Qiao noticed her pause.
Hence, she followed the other party’s gaze and saw a girlish, sweet and elegant Victoria dress placed in the window. Under the light, it looked pure and beautiful.
“Let’s go in and take a look.” Murong Qiao could tell that Shen Xi seemed to like it, so she pulled her in.
Coincidentally, she had just been given a gift. She was still thinking about what to give in return.
Ruan Ying followed behind, holding two ice creams she had just bought. “Wait for me!”
“Hello, do you have another piece of that dress?” Murong Qiao pointed out directly.
The shop assistant looked at the three of them dressed in extraordinary clothes and immediately perked up. “Yes, please wait a moment.”
“Other than the one displayed outside, there’s only one other piece left…”
