After the Qiao family went bankrupt, Qiao Xia and her family of three were forced to become the 'Three Treasures of Auspiciousness' – security guard, cleaner, and nanny. They were also bu...
But Qiao Xia didn't stay angry for long. As someone who takes looking at handsome men and beautiful women to the extreme, she still had a bunch of issues related to them to deal with.
Julie scrolled down her newly made PPT, "Jiang Xiaomian's reputation has not only recovered, but she has also gained many more die-hard fans. The Only One boy group has expressed their willingness to renew their contracts. Judging from the audience's feedback, they are more willing to see everyone appear together after Mu Xiaoze's return."
Qiao Xia leaned back in her chair, and had to admit that Julie, as a well-known top agent in the industry, was really reliable.
But the thought of bringing back those people who had upset her made Qiao Xia somewhat reluctant.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, Julie had clearly learned how to handle Qiao Xia. She simply clicked on a PowerPoint presentation, and a group poster featuring all nine of them instantly appeared on the computer screen.
"How can one handsome face compare to the impact of nine handsome faces put together? Even for the sake of the normal aesthetic sense of teenage girls!" Julie's voice was extremely infectious.
Qiao Xia closed her eyes briefly, but couldn't help giving a thumbs up in the end. "You've successfully convinced me. We'll do as you say."
"There's one more thing." Seeing that Qiao Xia was about to leave, Julie quickly reported the last task to her, "Recently, an internet celebrity has appeared online. He has attracted a large number of fans by flaunting his wealth. Many fans have reported that he has been putting down members of the group in his live streams and has also spread a lot of rumors. What do you think?"
Qiao Xia glanced at it casually, "Gather some evidence, contact the legal department, and remember to make Jiang Xiaomian's former boss return all the money he took in on charges of extortion."
Julie shrugged. "That might be a little difficult."
Qiao Xia looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Julie pursed her lips, but couldn't hide the smile on her face. "Ever since Jiang Xiaomian's past has been dug up by fans, this unscrupulous boss of his is no exception."
"Fans sent razor blades to his house every day to avenge him. Some even camped outside his house and smashed the windows. He moved several times because of this and has now fled the country."
"Perhaps it was the big screen in New York that you booked that worked. Many people overseas have also watched the program. Currently, blocking Jiang Xiaomian's unscrupulous boss in various countries has become a new trend on the Internet. A few days ago, the Japanese mafia even filmed a video with him."
Qiao Xia felt very relieved, but still insisted, "We must get all the money back."
Julie gave an "OK" sign. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. They dare to ask for that kind of price? I guarantee they'll spend the rest of their lives in jail."
Having finalized everything, Qiao Xia called Lin Xie using the number on the business card. "This restaurant is downstairs from the Mu Group building. I still hope he can schedule the time for noon."
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone, "What are you worried about, Miss Qiao? Don't worry, the president isn't that kind of person..."
"You just need to answer yes or no." After receiving an affirmative answer, Qiao Xia hung up the phone directly.
At the same time, Qiao Xia was secretly excited. This male model restaurant was said to be of super high quality and only offered ten tables a day. Qiao Xia had been trying to get a table for a long time but hadn't succeeded. She didn't expect to find an opportunity under these circumstances.
It was almost lunchtime, and Qiao Xia hurriedly arrived dressed simply in jeans, a white shirt, and a long down jacket. However, she was met with a cold stare before she even entered the door.
A young man covered in logos, with an earring, dyed white hair, and exuding an aura of wealth, snorted at Qiao Xia and started his live stream, "Hello everyone, this is JoJo."
"This popular restaurant only serves ten tables of customers a day. Some people probably have to save up for a year to eat here once. But little do they know that even if a pheasant flies up a branch, it will never become a phoenix. Just by dressing up, it immediately reveals its weakness."
"The thought of sitting and eating with people like this makes me lose my appetite. They look like the kind of people who take group photos online. How could a restaurant allow people like this to dine in?"
Although the person didn't explicitly name her, Qiao Xia could easily tell from his sarcastic expression and the occasional glances he gave her that he was talking about her.
Qiao Xia was so angry she almost laughed. This was the first time she had ever heard someone so blatantly say that she was there to take a group photo.
However, since he didn't name names, Qiao Xia couldn't just rush over and yell at him.
Qiao Xia rolled her eyes and walked past him, telling the receptionist Mu San's reserved information.
The receptionist looked her up and down and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, your seat was changed from the evening to noon, right?"
Qiao Xia nodded.
Internet celebrity JoJo immediately chuckled and introduced the store to the camera: "Let me tell you all that it's hard to get a spot at this store, but the prices are a little higher in the evening than at noon."
JoJo said in a affected manner, "Some people who try to save face will try to get a table for the evening and then change it to noon so they can spend less money."
The overflowing sense of superiority made Qiao Xia feel nauseous.
But when Qiao Xia turned to glare at him, she found that he not only didn't feel guilty for being caught talking badly, but also gave a very arrogant snort.
The waiter awkwardly interrupted them, "Excuse me, miss, since this is your first time here, we need to verify your identity information. Could you please call Mr. Mu?"
Qiao Xia frankly admitted, "I don't have his phone number; it was his assistant who booked the table for me."
A louder burst of laughter erupted behind her. "I thought she was some up-and-coming internet celebrity. Even if she's trying to create a persona, at least she should be independent and ambitious. I didn't expect her to be a gold digger who just crashes the party. She relies on her pretty face to mooch off men. I hate people like that the most."
"I can hear it. I can hear the envy, jealousy and hatred in your words. Are you upset that the gold digger ignored you, or are you upset that you don't have the opportunity to be a gold digger?" Qiao Xia couldn't hold back any longer and retorted directly.
JoJo retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm so rich, why would I be a gold digger?"
"Oh~" Qiao Xia gave him a meaningful look before looking away.
JoJo felt increasingly guilty and followed behind Qiao Xia, questioning, "What do you mean? You don't believe I have money?"
"Of course I don't believe it. People tend to show off what they have when they lack it. What rich person would go around bragging about how rich they are? I originally thought you were a nouveau riche, but now it seems...tsk tsk tsk..."
Qiao Xia returned his words verbatim, but unintentionally, she stumbled upon the truth. Faced with the overwhelming questioning in the live stream, JoJo broke out in a cold sweat.
