To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
The moment Song Mai saw Gu Jia, all she could feel was Gu Jia's displeased scrutiny.
She frowned and looked herself up and down.
After a moment's thought, Song Mai took the initiative to introduce herself: "Hello, I'm Song Mai."
“I know you. Your stage name is Bai Wan’er.” Gu Jia sat down on the sofa and elegantly picked up her teacup. “I like you quite a bit, so I specially invited you here today, hoping you can create a look just for me.”
She pointed, and several staff members immediately pushed in a row of clothes racks.
The clothes were neatly hung on the hangers, each piece exuding luxury and grandeur.
"These are my clothes. I hope you can put together an outfit that I'm happy with."
Gu Jia crossed her legs, a smile playing on her lips.
Song Mai glanced at her watch and asked, "How much time do we have left?"
"Ten minutes left."
Ten minutes is simply not enough time, especially considering the need for styling and creative design.
Song Mai paused slightly, then picked up her bag and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you achieve your goal."
People always have to learn to give up, and besides, there's no need for me to fawn over a female celebrity just for the sake of a challenge.
She called me over not to help, but to humiliate me.
After Song Mai saw through her intentions, she got up in a fit of anger and embarrassment and slowly walked up to Song Mai.
"Do you know how much I can earn from a single live stream?"
Such a condescending attitude displeased Song Mai, who slightly raised her eyes and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
“If you don’t satisfy me today, I won’t be able to generate profits for the Yao Group. At that point, you’ll have offended the entire Yao Group.” Gu Jia laughed triumphantly.
In her mind, Song Mai was just an ordinary person, how could she dare to provoke the Yao Group?
"oh."
Song Mai's indifferent reply froze Gu Jia's smile. She frowned and said irritably, "What do you mean by that? Don't you believe what I said?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, I just find it a little funny." Song Mai carried her bag to the door and was about to leave when Gu Jia's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"I'll be waiting for you to come back and beg me. When that time comes, you better not regret it."
"Song Mai." Yao Qianyu walked towards her at this moment, and her face showed a hint of curiosity when she saw her here.
Song Mai responded with a faint "yes".
Although they haven't had any contact for so many years, Song Mai can't guarantee that Yao Qianyu doesn't harbor any ill intentions towards him now.
"Don't misunderstand, I don't like Ji Fenghe anymore." Yao Qianyu lowered her head guiltily. "You are a very outstanding girl. If I could cooperate with you, I would definitely be able to learn a lot."
Song Mai could tell that her feelings at that moment were not hypocritical at all, but full of genuine emotions.
"I hope we can cooperate frequently in the future," Song Mai said with a bright smile.
There's nothing more joyful than losing an enemy and gaining a friend.
Gu Jia heard faint sounds coming from outside and walked over impatiently.
Seeing the two people standing outside the door, their smiles didn't fade; instead, they became more sarcastic.
"There are only eight minutes left before the live stream starts. Are you sure you want to continue expressing your emotions?"
Yao Qianyu suppressed her anger and greeted Gu Jia with a smile: "Gu Jia, I know you are very busy. It is a great honor for you to be able to take time out of your schedule to visit Yao's Group today. On behalf of the entire company, I welcome you."
"What's the use of your welcome? This designer is still very resistant to me, isn't she?" Gu Jia toyed with her nails and gave a cold laugh.
Yao Qianyu looked at the two of them strangely, sensing that something was off.
Song Mai has always had a good temper, so why would she suddenly be so resistant to Gu Jia?
Yao Qianyu lowered her voice patiently and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you all?"
Song Mai shook her head slightly, without explaining.
Instead, Gu Jia turned the tables, saying, "Her refusal to style my hair means she doesn't respect the Yao Group. We shouldn't work with someone like that in the future."
After hesitating for a moment, Yao Qianyu briefly learned the ins and outs of the matter, and her expression gradually became unnatural.
"I never expected to drag you into this, I'm so sorry."
Song Mai gently shook her head: "It's okay, I just came to take a look anyway."
"Now that you're here, could you do me this favor?" Yao Qianyu pleaded, then took out an exquisite wooden box from her bag.
"This is a green pearl, which I know you've always wanted. However, I borrowed it from Chu Yunxing; otherwise, I would have given it to you."
Yao Qianyu's sincerity and apology were genuine.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Mai smiled and shook her head: "I know you mean well, it's okay."
“I hired her at a high price. If the live broadcast can’t go smoothly this time, it will mean that I have caused a huge loss to the company. If you can do me a favor, I will repay you tenfold.”
In the few years since Yao Qianyu joined the company, she has been targeted by many directors because of her position.
Now that she has finally managed to complete a project on her own, if she can't get Gu Jia to do a live stream, it means everything will be ruined.
She didn't want to see this happen, so she could only plead desperately.
Song Mai sighed helplessly, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
"Have you two finished yet? Can you stop wasting my time!" Gu Jia said impatiently, fiddling with her nails.
After a moment of contemplation, Song Mai turned to Yao Qianyu and asked, "If this matter is successfully completed, how much of a share of the profits are you prepared to give me?"
Yao Qianyu was taken aback, then burst into laughter without warning.
"You're so cute."
Such unthinking praise is the most genuine, Yao Qianyu continued with a smile, adding, "Don't worry, but this time I can only give you ten percent of the profit."
The temptation of such a large sum of money made Song Mai turn to look at Gu Jia and say seriously, "I can do your styling, and you can also give your opinions while I am doing your styling, but you absolutely cannot express your dissatisfaction again after the design is completed."
Gu Jia still acted as if it was none of her business, which made Yao Qianyu a little angry.
Just now, she even considered throwing Gu Jia down the stairs.
"These are the rules and responsibilities for the job. If there are no problems, you can sign now."
Just then, Song Mai's phone rang without warning.
She answered the phone and heard Ji Fenghe's anxious voice coming from the other end.
"Where are you now? Send me your address."
The urgent, commanding tone made Song Mai frown.
