On the day of their sixth wedding anniversary, Jiang Ranxing waited for Fu Shenyuan until the restaurant closed.
Upon returning home, she found Fu Shenyuan embracing his first love and their ...
Chapter 14 He begged her for Lin Xuesha's sake
We are born alone and should not be afraid of loneliness.
Mia acted quickly, and soon handed over Xiaohua's information to Jiang Ranxing.
"Sister, I think these popular young actresses who came from period dramas are more suitable for our topic."
Jiang Ranxing looked at the young actresses' appearances and picked one with a cool and aloof air that seemed determined to win.
"What's her name? Go and try contacting her."
Mia said, "Xu Qingci, I'll contact her right away, but I heard that Lin Xuesha's team is also in contact with her. Should we avoid any appearance of impropriety?"
"No need, Mia. Remember, in our professional field, it's all about ability. Whoever is more capable will stand taller."
In her career, she would no longer give Lin Xuesha the slightest leeway.
Encouraged by Jiang Ranxing's words, Mia immediately contacted him.
Upon hearing that he was from Ember, the other party immediately agreed.
If anyone were to wear Ember's first comeback piece, they would undoubtedly be dazzling and become the center of attention.
After all, who wouldn't want to hitch a ride on Ember's comeback?
Jiang Ranxing also took a breather and prepared to take his studio colleagues out for a team-building dinner to boost morale.
Jiang Ranxing booked a high-end restaurant, took out his own card and let Mia let them swipe it as they pleased, while he found a seat by the window.
She always liked to sit by the window, looking at the flowers, plants and trees outside, which would make her feel much better.
Unfortunately, there are always people who disturb her mood.
Jiang Ranxing never expected to run into Lin Xuesha and Fu Shenyuan at the restaurant.
It seems we really are destined to meet again, even just having a meal together.
It was just a tragic fate.
Lin Xuesha was playfully complaining to Fu Shenyuan.
"Shen Yuan, I've got my eye on a young actress named Xu Qingci. I wanted her to be my model for the competition, but someone poached her. I'm not happy about it."
Fu Shenyuan served food to Lin Xuesha, then asked absentmindedly, "Who is it? Why don't you pick someone else? There are plenty of celebrities out there."
Lin Xuesha continued, "It's Ember who's making a comeback. She announced her comeback in China at almost the same time as me. She even wants to steal the person I've got my eye on. Is she trying to go against me?"
Lin Xuesha harbors hostility towards the obscure and mysterious Ember.
Fu Shenyuan comforted him, "Do you really like that model that much?"
Lin Xuesha: "Of course! She's very popular right now, so it would be perfect for us to work together on a project."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll help you solve it."
"Thank you, Shen Yuan, you're the best."
Lin Xuesha nestled delicately against Fu Shenyuan's shoulder.
Neither of them noticed that Jiang Ranxing was sitting silently by the window, which was hidden by the screen.
Just as she expected, Lin Xuesha would compete with her even though she didn't know that Ember was her.
Is it possible that she and Lin Xuesha had some unresolved grudge from their past lives, and were destined to fight each other again in this life?
She didn't want to compete with Lin Xuesha for Fu Shenyuan, but Jiang Ranxing had no intention of backing down in her career.
Jiang Ranxing was interested in how Fu Shenyuan would help Lin Xuesha.
She guessed that they probably spent money to poach the person.
Who can blame them when Fu Shenyuan's family is so wealthy and powerful?
Jiang Ranxing chuckled twice, feeling a pang of unease.
The next day, Mia stormed into Jiang Ranxing's office.
"Sis! Do you know, it's that Lin Xuesha again. Xu Qingci told us that Fu Shenyuan contacted her and said he would pay a lot of money to poach her to be Lin Xuesha's model."
Jiang Ranxing remained calm: "I guessed it. We'll change the players and not waste time with them. Mia, show me the information on the young actresses again."
Mia didn't hand over the tablet.
"Sister, we don't need to change people. Xu Qingci didn't agree to him!"
Jiang Ranxing asked in surprise, "How much money did Fu Shenyuan give?"
Mia held up her hand to indicate a number; the amount was enormous.
Jiang Ranxing felt a pang of sadness.
“My husband is really willing to do anything for Lin Xuesha.”
Jiang Ranxing added, "But this Xu Qingci really has backbone. No wonder she became popular. She can be considered both aloof and stubborn, both on and off screen."
Jiang Ranxing became even more convinced that she had chosen the right model.
"Our main style this time is Neo-Chinese. A model who can carry the essence of Chinese style must be unconventional and have integrity. She is very suitable to inherit Chinese aesthetics with us."
“Mia,” Jiang Ranxing said, “go and make an appointment with Xu Qingci’s team, and we can meet at a time to interview the first draft of the dress.”
"Okay, sis, I'll go right away."
Jiang Ranxing is full of confidence and believes he will definitely win the championship this time.
It was late at night, and everyone in the studio had left for the night.
Jiang Ranxing had just finished her work and was about to turn off the lights and leave when her phone rang.
It was her work number.
But the number that called was strangely familiar to Jiang Ranxing.
This string of numbers was already deeply etched in Jiang Ranxing's memory, just like the owner of the number; she could never forget it after just one glance.
Jiang Ranxing trembled for a long time.
Jiang Ranxing hesitated before answering the phone: "Hello, this is Ember."
Jiang Ranxing's voice trembled slightly, but it was greatly muffled after being specially processed, so the person on the other end couldn't hear it.
The voice on the other end of the phone was cool and alluring: "I am Fu Shenyuan."
Fu Shenyuan couldn't tell that Jiang Ranxing's voice had been specially processed, and was still wondering why Ember's voice sounded so old.
It doesn't sound like a young person's voice at all.
Jiang Ranxing then asked, "President Fu, is there something you need from me?"
Fu Shenyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "I would like to ask you to give up having Xu Qingci as your model. You can name your terms, as long as I can do it."
Jiang Ranxing simply didn't know what to say.
As proud and noble as Fu Shenyuan is, a chosen one of heaven, when would he ever need to use the word "request"?
Fu Shenyuan would never ask for help under any circumstances.
Now, just to fulfill Lin Xuesha's wish, Fu Shenyuan is willing to casually offer such conditions to beg a designer.
And this designer is the wife that Fu Shenyuan despises the most.
That's an absolute joke.
Jiang Ranxing suddenly laughed, then started crying.
It's so ironic; there's nothing more ironic in the world.
Fu Shenyuan didn't hear a response and seemed a little anxious. "I guarantee you with the Fu Group. Name whatever conditions you want."
Jiang Ranxing recovered and wiped away her tears, then shook her head.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, I'm afraid I can't accept your proposal. Some things can't be measured by money. You should understand this, Mr. Fu, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me to beg for Miss Lin's sake."
Fu Shenyuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't deny it, but as long as Xue Sha is happy, I'm willing to try to buy her happiness with money."
No amount of money is as important as Lin Xuesha's happiness.
Jiang Ranxing felt the hidden pain in her heart growing more and more intense.
It's just to make Lin Xuesha happy, it's just to make Lin Xuesha happy.
Jiang Ranxing suddenly felt a dull pain in her heart; it was Fu Shenyuan who had stabbed her.
