However, how to give away the dress and jewelry is still a problem.
Lu Shen really knows how to find things for him to do.
The next morning, Ran Jie called Jian Ruoxi over. Lu Jin had been searching for a new script for the past four days without success, so he went with Jian Ruoxi.
"I've prepared the dress for the banquet that I mentioned to you last time," Ran Jie said, handing the gift box to Jian Ruoxi.
As soon as the box was opened, Lu Jin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "I recognize this logo. It's a custom design by the famous Italian designer, Angelon."
"I remember his orders are booked until next year. Ran Jie, when did Huarui become so capable?"
As the eldest daughter of the Lu family, she was naturally well-informed. The reason she was familiar with this designer was because she had worn dresses designed by him at the Lu family's birthday banquets before.
Ran Jie rolled his eyes. Couldn't she just stay silent if she wasn't allowed to speak? She immediately revealed who designed the dress; how was he supposed to explain himself now?
"Why are you glaring at me? Am I wrong?" Lu Jin was puzzled. Why did Ran Jie suddenly look like he wanted to eat him alive?
Although Jian Ruoxi didn't know much about the designer, she instantly understood his status after hearing Lu Jin's words.
So she asked Ran Jie, "Yes, where did you get such a high-end dress?" She remembered that Ran Jie had said he would pick out a dress for her, and that he would choose from dresses sent by brands that cooperated with Huarui.
Only one night had passed, and the standard of the dress had been upgraded so much that it was hard not to arouse suspicion.
"Ahem." Ran Jie coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then he had to think about how to fool the two of them. If he was exposed, he was really afraid that he would end up like the fish that was helplessly writhing on the floor yesterday.
"Hua Rui certainly doesn't have the level to cooperate with Anjiesen. My relationship with him is personal; we met by chance at a fashion event."
He used to take artists to high-fashion shows and did get to know some famous designers, but he had never met anyone of Angelon's caliber.
"We've kept in touch ever since. I mentioned it to him yesterday when we were chatting. It was a coincidence, though. He had just finished making a dress, but it hasn't been shown on the runway yet."
"I heard that my artist didn't have a suitable dress yet, so I had the dress flown over by air."
After much thought, he concluded that only this explanation was somewhat credible.
Hopefully, these two won't notice anything amiss.
"Ran Jie, you're something else! You even managed to hook up with a designer of that caliber." Lu Jin clasped his hands together and nudged Ran Jie's arm.
Startled, Ran Jie quickly took three steps back and looked at Lu Jin with disgust.
"What flirting? Lu Jin, if you can't speak properly, then don't say it." Ran Jie was increasingly speechless with her.
She only hoped that Tianlei would come back soon and discipline this young lady, so that she would know what it means to respect her elder brother.
"Ran Jie, thank you for worrying about me. I really like this dress."
The moon-white satin fabric accentuates the soft glow, easily evoking images of pristine moonlight. This color suits her perfectly.
Seeing that both of them believed him, Ran Jie was finally relieved.
As long as there's no doubt about the dress's true origin, that's fine.
"Remember to follow me throughout the banquet and do whatever I say."
How high a level Jian Ruoxi's next announcement will be depends on her own performance.
On the day of the banquet, Jian Ruoxi appeared at the venue in a moon-white trailing gown, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The moon-white shimmering fabric added a hazy beauty to Jian Ruoxi, while the gracefully curved strapless top accentuated her slender waist. The floor-length skirt swayed gently with each step, as if dancing in everyone's hearts.
Han Mingyi, who was in the distance, saw the dress she was wearing and was so jealous that she went crazy, blaming her manager.
"I told you to borrow a dress for me earlier. I've been busy for the past few days and this is the only one I've found. She's completely overshadowed me."
Despite being co-stars, they received such vastly different treatment; how could she possibly tolerate this?
The agent rubbed his hands awkwardly, "It's understandable that Ran Jie could find a better dress for Jian Ruoxi; he has the backing of Huarui Company."
We have nothing.
However, he didn't say that last sentence. He was afraid of provoking Han Mingyi again. If she did something outrageous again, it would be them who would be working overtime and exhausting themselves.
Ran Jie led Jian Ruoxi into the venue. Jian Ruoxi greeted everyone with a nod and a smile, just as Ran Jie had taught her, to ensure that everyone present could feel her goodwill.
Jian Ruoxi also noticed Han Mingyi's presence.
"Han Mingyi is able to participate in events now?" Wasn't she kept busy with rumors for a while?
Ran Jie didn't even bother to glance in that direction.
"No one is locking her up, so why can't she come?" Han Mingyi is a bit slow-witted, but not completely stupid.
"So many business tycoons are here at this event. Who knows, one of them might be working on a drama that's missing a female lead. You know, investors have a lot of power; sometimes they can decide who gets the lead role."
If Han Mingyi misses even this event, it will indeed be difficult for her to make a comeback.
"If I remember correctly, this should be Han Mingyi's first event since the last live broadcast incident."
Ran Jie's reminder brought it to Jian Ruoxi's attention.
"It seems so. Han Mingyi didn't even appear on that variety show that Ziyu and I participated in last time." Although they were both main actors, only she and Su Ziyu were in it.
Ran Jie told Jian Ruoxi about how the director of the variety show had approached him.
"Do you think the director is stupid? If Han Mingyi is invited to appear in any time slot, the combined effect of all the variety shows will probably not be as good as the follow-up of the live proposal."
If they weren't all at the banquet hall right now, Jian Ruoxi would definitely burst out laughing.
Ran Jie's words are truly sharp. If Han Mingyi heard these words with her own ears, wouldn't she be furious?
However, Ran Jie is not worried about others hearing him speak ill of others. He has already reached this position in the entertainment industry. If he could not have freedom of speech, how frustrating would that be?
"Alright, Han Mingyi's affairs are her own business. Have you memorized all the information I asked you to memorize yesterday?"
Don't think he'll forget about this.
In preparation for tonight's banquet, Ran Jie had prepared a list of attendees for Jian Ruoxi in advance.
She was required to memorize it all in one night.
"I've memorized them all."
She dared not refuse to take the blame; if she embarrassed herself at the banquet, Ran Jie would likely have plenty of ways to retaliate against her.
