Marry A Sweetheart And Get Another Free: President, Please Sign This! - Chapter 171
Chapter 171: Xing Chen, You Forced Me to Do This!
Wu Lingshan abused the fact that she was the daughter of a shareholder to shove aside the staff and came to Shao Mingyi’s side.
“Young Master Shao, may I ask which designer invited you here? I’m very familiar with this place, so I can lead the way.”
She put on a bright smile in an attempt to give an impression to Shao Mingyi.
Right before Shao Mingyi answered, he saw Luo Chenxi walking close and smiled.
“That’s not necessary. The person I’m looking for has arrived.”
Shao Mingyi squeezed out of the crowd and went to meet Luo Chenxi.
“Xing Chen, you’re finally here. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find you and was just about to ring you up! How are things? I’m not late, am I?”
Luo Chenxi smiled and shook her head. “Of course not, you are as punctual as it gets! There’s still time before the show begins, why don’t you find a place to sit for a while?”
“No, I think I’ll come with you to try on the clothes.”
Shao Mingyi greeted Fang Ziqian before the three of them walked toward Luo Chenxi’s booth.
All the staff and participants were stunned.
“Am… am I dreaming? Young Master Shao was actually contracted by Xing Chen?”
“Doesn’t this mean that she threw in a huge sum for this? I heard that Shao Mingyi’s contracting fee skyrocketed up to 10 million per performance after winning the first prize in the “Golden Singer” competition. Just how much would it possibly cost to hire him as a model?”
“Ahem, Xing Chen probably has a good background too, don’t you think? Didn’t her pursuer buy her a 70 million RMB diamond bracelet as a gift back then? So, it doesn’t really… seem… strange that she contracted Young Master Shao… right?”
“I’m so envious of Xing Chen! My prince charming is actually being so nice to her, and they’re even sitting together and chatting! I’m so envious!”
All the girls present were both envious and jealous of Luo Chenxi.
What was more, Shao Mingyi was a very easy going person
In contrast, Bai Xinxin, who came here earlier than him, requested SL Corporation to provide her with an exclusive lounge the moment she arrived. She had completely no intention of going through the ordeal of squeezing with everyone in the backstage.
Shao Mingyi, on the other hand, casually pulled a stool to him and sat on it in a corner without a hint of disdain to his surroundings.
Many staff members used various excuses and swarmed to Shao Mingyi for his autograph. Shao Mingyi patiently satisfied each and every one of their requests, so he instantly drew in a new cluster of fans.
“I’d still prefer Young Master Shao over Bai Xinxin after all. I remember getting scolded by Bai Xinxin’s manager when I tried asking for her autograph some time ago. Even for a supermodel, she’s way too arrogant!”
“Tsk, what does Bai Xinxin take herself for? Models are only famous in the fashion industry, unlike Young Master Shao, who is now the idol of the nation! His popularity is so many folds higher than hers!”
“Wu Lingshan really miscalculated this time. She spent so much effort to contract Bai Xinxi. Now that Young Master Shao is here, she’s going to be easily overshadowed!”
“Xing Chen surely has the first place in her grasp, there’s no doubt about it!”
Although the staff members lowered their voices, their discussion was still overheard by Wu Lingshan.
Her heart was in turmoil as her anxiety reached the extreme.
These people were absolutely right.
Bai Xinxin’s popularity could not possibly be compared to a celebrity like Shao Mingyi.
At most, Bai Xinxin could fetch Wu Lingshan a tiny bit more points from the judges familiar with the fashion industry.
However, professionals from within the industry would not only only judge a designer by the model’s performance, they would also pay more attention to the clothing design itself. From the design standpoint alone, Wu Lingshan was no match for Luo Chenxi.
Wu Lingshan hid in a corner and paced around anxiously.
Suddenly, her footsteps stopped, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
“Very well, Xing Chen, you asked for it yourself! I’ve spent so much effort to get to where I am today, I will claim the champion’s title of the competition at all costs!”
…
At the same time, a Maybach pulled over.
Mu Yichen got out of the car and strode into the villa.
“Young Master, you’re back!” Butler Chen was surprised.
This was four days earlier than Young Master Mu’s expected date of return!
Mu Yichen did not answer the butler. Instead, he raised his head to look at the room upstairs and asked plainly, “Where’s the Young Madam?”
