Friday morning.
Xu Ke did not see Qiao Chu during the model rehearsal.
During his break, Xu Ke sent a WeChat message to Xia Fan.
Xia Fan replied: "[You decide for yourself. Joe has no intention of renewing your contract. I've negotiated a new spokesperson contract for you with the Rong Group, an eight-figure endorsement fee.]"
Afterwards, Xu Ke smiled and went to the media area to give an interview.
Because of Xu Ke's reputation, quite a few media outlets were present at the event.
"Xu Ke, is this your last show for JOE? Will you have the opportunity to work together again in the future?"
Xu Ke smiled broadly and responded gently and politely, "Thank you for your concern! I've been working with the Joe Group for almost two years, and I'm really happy. I personally hope to continue working with Joe; I really like him."
"..."
Qiao Chu was still in her office, watching Xu Ke's interview.
This woman is as hypocritical as ever!
Qiao Chu's eyes revealed a hint of disdain, and her smile was unfathomable.
In the afternoon, she went to meet her old rival!
******
The scene of the Rong's Group press conference.
They were surrounded by the media early on.
They were all there because of Kevin's fame.
When Kevin was being interviewed by the media, a commotion broke out in the media area.
Currently, Kevin is even more popular than Ding Mei, the spokesperson for the Rong Group and a top celebrity!
They stole a lot of Ding Mei's thunder.
Ding Mei's agent also glared at Kevin quite a bit.
...
Xiao Liu had been keeping a close eye on the Rong Group's every move.
He reported to the young mistress in real time.
"That Kevin is so arrogant! He actually said he's confident he can beat us. Who gave him the guts to spout such nonsense? He's despicable!"
Qiao Chu remained calm; she could even smile.
"This ingrate will eventually get himself killed. Don't bother with him. It's almost time; we should head to the press conference. Xiao Liu, let's go!"
"Young mistress, should we wait for Master Zhi?"
"I'm the main person in charge, so I'll go over there first and keep an eye on the venue. If there's any emergency, someone will contact me."
...
Qiao Chu has arrived.
Without greeting the media or giving interviews, Xiao Liu drove straight to the parking lot.
Qiao Chu didn't go backstage or meet Julian; she simply stayed in another dressing room.
At this moment, Qiao Chu still had the leisure to eat sunflower seeds.
Xiao Liu glanced at the young mistress and thought she was too calm.
Even Xiao Liu himself was starting to lose his composure.
They've all come to the venue, but the young mistress still hasn't shown her face.
...
There was still half an hour before the press conference was scheduled to begin.
The guests entered and took their seats one after another.
A small media zone was set up in the open space at the back of the venue.
Only licensed media are allowed inside.
Judging from the scene, JOE's first press conference after the name change was much less popular than Rong's Group's press conference.
...
Suddenly, the backstage staff made an urgent report.
"Assistant Qiao, Xu Ke slipped and fell while using the restroom and injured her foot. Now, she can't walk at all. What should we do?"
Qiao Chu feigned a panicked voice, "What should we do? Have you asked Julian? She's watching from backstage!"
"Julian is frantic, making calls everywhere to find a replacement model. Xu Ke can't walk, so she definitely can't walk the runway! How can we do without a main model? Assistant Joe, the backstage area is in complete chaos."
"I understand, I'll come and handle it right away."
“Assistant Joe, there’s something even worse. Xu Ke went to the bathroom wearing the first outfit for the main show, and that outfit is dirty now. She probably can’t go on stage.”
"This situation is truly terrible. Doesn't Julian have any solutions at all?"
