Chapter 138 Miss Yun, is there something wrong?

When Yun Qianxue heard this, she immediately took the phone and looked at it carefully. On the screen was a news item from a week ago. The headline read:

"Internationally renowned designer Grace has partnered with Dingsheng Group to create a high-end custom dress collection."

Yun Qianxue frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone:

"It's been a week since this news broke. Could Grace no longer be in the capital? Also, why isn't there even a single photo of her? Doesn't anyone know what Grace looks like?"

She read the news from beginning to end and found that apart from some photos of Dingsheng Group's activities, Grace herself did not appear at all.

The news only mentioned her name and design concept, but did not reveal any information about her.

Seeing Yun Qianxue's impatience, Xu Wei quickly explained:

"Grace has always been very low-key and never appears in public. I heard that she doesn't even attend award ceremonies. All the awards are accepted on her behalf by her studio."

Yun Qianxue snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain in her tone:

"Why are you being so mysterious? He's just a designer, isn't he? You're making it seem like such a big deal."

Seeing Yun Qianxue was in a bad mood, Xu Wei didn't dare to say anything more and could only cautiously agree:

"Yes, Qianxue, you are such a prestigious person, yet she dares to act so arrogantly. She really doesn't know how to appreciate your kindness."

Yun Qianxue did not respond, but continued to look through her phone, trying to find more clues about Grace. She secretly thought that since Grace had a cooperation with Dingsheng Group, maybe she could contact her through Dingsheng Group.

"Xu Wei, do you know anyone from Dingsheng Group?" Yun Qianxue suddenly asked.

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"I don't know anyone at Dingsheng Group, but Qianxue, don't you know Lu Yiran? He's the president of Dingsheng Group, so why not ask him for help?"

When Yun Qianxue heard this, her eyes lit up, but then she frowned again:

"Lu Yiran? It's not nice to trouble him for such a small matter."

Seeing Yun Qianxue hesitate, Xu Wei quickly advised:

"Qianxue, this is no small matter. Didn't you make a bet with that Mu Nanyan? If you lose, won't she be proud? Besides, Lu Yiran has always taken good care of you. If you ask, he will definitely help you."

After hearing this, Yun Qianxue felt a little shaken. She really didn't want to lose to Mu Nanyan, and she didn't want to apologize to her in public. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind:

"Okay, I'll call Lu Yiran right now."

She picked up her phone and dialed Lu Yiran's number. After the phone rang a few times, Lu Yiran's low and cold voice came from the other end:

"Miss Yun, is there something wrong?"

When Yun Qianxue heard his voice, her tone immediately softened:

"Brother Yiran, I have something I want to ask you for help."

"What's up?"

Lu Yiran's tone was still cold, and he didn't seem to want to talk more.

Yun Qianxue took a deep breath and tried to make her tone sound gentle and sincere:

"Brother Yiran, I want to ask Grace to design a dress, but I can't get in touch with her. I heard that she has a partnership with Dingsheng Group. Can you introduce her to me?"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yiran was silent for a few seconds when he heard the name "Grace", and his tone was a little inquiring: "

Why do you have to look for her?"

Yun Qianxue hesitated for a moment, and finally briefly recounted the bet with Mu Nanyan. However, she deliberately avoided mentioning Mu Nanyan's name, and only said vaguely:

"I made a bet with someone that I must find Grace to help me design a dress. Brother Yiran, please help me."

After listening to this, Lu Yiran's tone remained cold, but seemed to relax a little:

"I'm not in charge of the project with Grace. I can ask for you, but I can't guarantee it will be successful."

When Yun Qianxue heard this, she felt a little disappointed, but she still managed to force a smile:

"Thank you, Brother Yiran. Sorry for bothering you."

"Um."

Lu Yiran responded and then hung up the phone.

Yun Qianxue listened to the busy tone on the phone and her face looked a little ugly. She didn't expect Lu Yiran's attitude to be so cold, and he didn't even show any extra concern.

Xu Wei, who was standing by, saw Yun Qianxue hang up the phone and quickly stepped forward to ask:

"Qianxue, how is it? What did Lu Yiran say?"

Yun Qianxue threw her phone onto the sofa, her tone filled with dissatisfaction:

"He said that project wasn't his responsibility and he could only ask for me. He couldn't guarantee whether it would succeed."

Xu Wei listened and sighed with some disappointment:

"Well, it seems that now we can only wait for news."

Yun Qianxue nodded, but she was still feeling restless. She knew that although Lu Yiran had agreed to ask for her, given his personality, he would probably just do it perfunctorily. She had to find another way and could not put all her hopes on him.

"Xu Wei, please help me check and see if there is any other way to contact Grace."

Qianxue turned to Xu Wei and said with a hint of command in her tone.

Xu Wei nodded quickly:

"Okay, I'll check it out."

Yun Qianxue leaned on the sofa, frowning, thinking secretly in her mind. She knew that this bet was of vital importance to her and she must not lose, otherwise, where would she, Yun Qianxue, put her face?

"Mu Nanyan, just wait for me!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yun Qianxue's eyes, and she secretly swore in her heart that no matter what, she would find Grace and win this bet.

————

Lu Yiran looked at the hung up phone, and Mu Nanyan's figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.

He was just worried that he couldn't find a suitable reason to contact her, but he didn't expect Yun Qianxue to call him.

He had cooperated with the Yun family once before. At that time, Yun's father wanted to match him with Yun Qianxue and specially brought her to attend the cooperation meeting.

Under Yun's father's "enthusiastic" arrangement, the two exchanged contact information in front of their elders. However, they never contacted each other again after that.

Lu Yiran didn't have any special feelings for Yun Qianxue, but he reluctantly added her on WeChat just for the sake of Yun's father's face.

Unexpectedly, Yun Qianxue would suddenly call today and mentioned Grace, which made Lu Yiran feel a little surprised, but more confused.

Why did Yun Qianxue suddenly ask Grace to design a dress? Moreover, the "bet" she mentioned seemed to involve Mu Nanyan.

Lu Yiran hesitated for a moment, but finally found Mu Nanyan's phone number from his mobile phone. He got it from the design department. After all, Mu Nanyan had cancelled her previous number when she left Beijing.

He stared at the number for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and dialed it.

The phone keeps making the connection sound of "beep beep..."

"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later..."

Lu Yiran was stunned for a moment before he realized that Mu Nanyan had hung up on him. When he realized what was happening, Lu Yiran's face turned black.

This was the first time someone hung up on him, and it was so abrupt and decisive. He felt helpless, but couldn't lose his temper, after all, he was the one who called.

Lu Yiran was unwilling to give up and called again. This time, after the phone rang a few times, Mu Nanyan answered with obvious impatience in her tone:

"I don't buy insurance, I don't buy a house, I don't buy a car, so please don't call me, thank you."

After that, the phone was hung up again.
