"Ye, this way please..."
Miranda's secretary was very polite, and behind her was none other than Ye Li.
Dai Qingzhou: !!!
“Grace, I’m Danne from Dane’s Studio. Do you remember when we met last year?”
With a smile on her face, Dai Qingzhou said to Miranda's secretary who was approaching her, "I had arranged this meeting with Miranda with you beforehand."
"Danne!"
Grace suddenly realized what had happened.
Dai Qingzhou was delighted.
Grace then adopted a businesslike smile. "You scheduled your appointment over the phone for 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow, right? Miranda will be returning to Miami tonight. You're welcome to come to the studio for a meeting the day after tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Miranda looked at Ye Li behind her, "Ye, please come in!"
Dai Qingzhou was stunned.
Right now, at this moment, she, Miranda, is in Paris.
It's just a matter of a few words, something that could be said in a few minutes.
But they want her to meet them at their Miami studio at the scheduled time?
Ye Li entered the room.
Grace and her assistant went in one after the other.
The two of them, one making coffee and the other warmly inviting Ye Li to sit down.
The door closed slowly.
The corridor was bustling with people.
Dai Qingzhou felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.
It's as if the tea had already gone cold before she even left.
"Ye, you really surprised me!"
In the lounge, Miranda, with her white hair, smiled brightly, the wrinkles on her face and around her eyes adding a touch of serene grace to her appearance.
"If I extend an olive branch, will you accept it, Ye?"
Miranda looked at Ye Li and asked.
Ye Li looked flattered and overwhelmed. "You are my idol, and your offer is a great encouragement to me. However... I have already set up my own studio, and I have to be responsible for my partners and the designers in my studio. Miranda, I'm sorry!"
"It doesn't matter!"
As if she had anticipated Ye Li's answer, Miranda blinked, "You won't join my studio, and likewise, you won't join anyone else's studio, right?"
Ye Li nodded.
Miranda smiled and shrugged. "As long as I'm sure you won't become my enemy, that's the best outcome for me!"
Blinking, Ye Li couldn't help but laugh, "Not now, but what about the future? I believe that one day, my Ye Li Studio will go international!"
"That's alright..."
Miranda chuckled and waved her hand, "By then, I might have become a gentle breeze, or a piece of birdseed, eaten by the pigeons in Liberty Square. On that day, it will be the world of you young people. I won't be able to see it, so I won't care."
I originally wanted to comfort Miranda, saying that day was still a long way off.
Seeing her witty and nonchalant manner, Ye Li said no more.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
In the corridor outside the door, Dai Qingzhou waited patiently for a long time.
As everyone in the venue began to leave, there was still no sign that the door to Miranda's lounge would open.
Dai Qingzhou left in a hurry.
When Dai Qingzhou rushed back to the venue, as soon as he entered, he saw a dejected Lydia, and next to her, Jolian and Jiang Chengcheng, who looked anxious and didn't dare to breathe.
"What happened?"
Dai Qingzhou looked at Lydia with a accusing expression, "Didn't I tell you to go find Bella and Pierre?"
"President Dai..."
Lydia's eyes shattered. "Editor-in-Chief Bella said that since our Diane didn't even make the top ten, there's no way we can collaborate this year. Pierre looked at our other products and said... said he wasn't interested."
Dai Qingzhou's eyes darkened.
Lydia reported through gritted teeth, "Judy was there when Pierre was looking at the artwork. She said, she said..."
"What did she say?"
Dai Qingzhou's expression turned even uglier.
Judy is a Chinese-American from the United States and was Dai Qingzhou's classmate when they studied jewelry design in Paris.
Furthermore, the two also worked together at Miranda's studio for a period of time.
In the past, at jewelry exhibitions or fashion parties, the two affectionately referred to each other as senior and junior sisters.
When Dai Qingzhou returned to China and founded the Dain Studio, Judy founded her own studio in the United States. Their relationship became what people in the industry often called "plastic besties."
They all harbored a competitive spirit behind the scenes.
However, since one of them is based in China and the other in the United States, their brand ownership and business scope do not overlap, so they can maintain a semblance of harmony on the surface.
However, as Diane has become less popular in the past year or two, Judy now acts as if they are not acquainted when they meet in public.
She said, "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach."
She knew that whoever spread these words would be in trouble, but if she didn't spread them, Judy would always find another way to get them to Dai Qingzhou's ears.
By then, she'll only be in a worse situation.
Lydia forced a smile and said, "She said you should learn to cut your losses in time, while Diane still has a reputation. Otherwise, you'll be swept away by the next generation."
After Lydia finished speaking, there was a deathly silence around them.
Behind them, Jolian and Jiang Chengcheng lowered their heads, silently repeating "You can't see me" for the first time.
Reason told her that even without Ye Li, she would still be in the same situation.
After all, Lydia didn't even make the top ten.
But Xie Chenlu had destroyed the fire that Dai En had set off.
Later, Ye Li, in her youthful arrogance, took Xie Chenlu in.
Dai Qingzhou was furious.
For a fleeting moment, Dai Qingzhou even wondered if Ye Li had asked Judy to say those words.
