Chapter 171 JY's Invitation

Amidst waves of enthusiastic applause, the product launch conference achieved an unprecedented complete success.

At the press conference, Wu Yuezhen and her team were surrounded by reporters in three circles. Zhao Zhehan was a very low-key person. When he saw that something was wrong, he had already left with Xia Xue.

"There will be a celebration banquet later, Yuezhen hopes you can join us." In the VIP room, Zhao Zhehan put a glass of juice in front of Xia Xue and said to her.

"Wait a minute, I won't go." Xia Xue frowned. She was very disgusted with this kind of gathering from the bottom of her heart.

"What's next? You don't plan to cooperate with JY?" Zhao Zhehan has more or less understood Xia Xue's personality after spending some time with her. She didn't go because she felt there were too many people, and there were many troublemakers, and she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

"?" Xia Xue raised her head and looked at Zhao Zhehan, somewhat puzzled. What did going to the celebration banquet have to do with whether or not to cooperate in the future?

"The celebration party later is just a small gathering of the designer team. Not everyone will be there. Yuezhen just wants to take this opportunity to introduce you to her team. She has already told me that she wanted to include your name in the list of main designers, but you refused. At this moment, the entire team is probably very curious about you. After all, there are probably not many designers in the world who can change the original design in such a short time and make the clothes by themselves. Unless it's JM Xu from France."

"JM Xu?" Xia Xue couldn't help but feel curious.

"No way, you don't even know JM Xu?" Seeing Xia Xue's expression, Zhao Zhehan found it even more incredible. JM Xu is well-known in the clothing industry. He is a rare talent, and he is an expert in design, color matching, cutting and production. But he has a quirk, that is, the clothes he designs must be made by himself, without going through any company or studio. Every piece of work is out of print, and so far, no one has been able to approach him. He also never disdains to cooperate with any designer. All works are based on his own preferences, and he chooses to cooperate with people he has a liking for. Even JY has not been favored by him so far, and no one can be an exception.

"Should I know him?" Xia Xue was stunned when Zhao Zhehan asked this.

Xia Xue didn't have such a person in her memory. She was helpless. She was new to the car and she was not a god. How could she know? Isn't it normal not to know? But it doesn't matter if she doesn't know. Look, there is already a living Baidu Dictionary on the scene.

She picked up the juice and took a sip, then asked Zhao Zhehan very innocently.

Seeing Xia Xue like this, Zhao Zhehan couldn't bear to refuse, so he told Xia Xue about JM Xu's past achievements in detail. Xia Xue didn't pay much attention at first, but the more she listened, the more she admired JM Xu. In this world, there are such capable designers, and all the designs they design are unique. How much ability and courage does this require?

"Is he really that amazing?" Xia Xue admired JM Xu from the bottom of her heart when she heard his story. She didn't expect that there would be such a strange person in this era: "You said he would come to China in September? Hold a fashion show."

"Yeah." Zhao Zhehan nodded.

"Will JY be invited? Will I also have the honor to attend his fashion show and see the style of a master?" It doesn't matter if you don't know. If you know, Xia Xue really wants to pay a visit to such a master. To learn from him.

"Of course, he will invite JY. And if you can become JY's chief designer and partner, you will definitely be invited." Zhao Zhehan smiled happily.

"So, President Zhao, are you trying to trick me into signing a contract with JY?" Xia Xue couldn't help but puff up her cheeks when she saw Zhao Zhehan's smug expression.

"How can it be a lie? Didn't Miss Xia come to me first?" This time, Zhao Zhehan laughed out loud directly and heartily.

"Then President Zhao, when will we sign the formal contract?"

"Before signing the formal contract, Ms. Xia, do you think it is necessary to get to know the design team you are going to work with? Let them get a glimpse of the master in their hearts."

Zhao Zhehan knew that Xia Xue was convinced by him.

At this time, Zhao Zhehan's driver seemed to have calculated the time. He knocked on the door and walked in, inviting Zhao Zhehan and his friends to the celebration banquet.

In the past, JY's celebration banquet was arranged by the chief designer. But this time, because the president paid special attention to it, the venue was set at the "Eastern Palace" in T City, which is known as the "Golden Palace".

"Eastern Palace" is a high-end club with membership system. Only the rich and powerful can enter and exit the club. It is not for ordinary people. It is said that "Eastern Palace" has only 99 membership cards issued in T City. These 99 limited-edition membership cards are equivalent to the representatives of the top of the pyramid in T City. Just imagine, as ordinary people like them, who would not want to have this opportunity to come in and take a look. And today, their entire design team has the honor to come in, what an honor it is.

When Wu Yuezhen and her team entered the "Eastern Palace", they couldn't help but feel like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, finding everything new and interesting. They spent nearly half an hour just touring the lobby of the club.

People have an instinctive appreciation for beautiful things, and now there is a group of designers who are even more persistent in their pursuit of beauty.

"Wow, Designer Wu, look at this. The embroidery of this piece is so strange, isn't it? There is also a signature below, JM Xu. It turned out to be the work of JM Xu, whom I admire." Zhang Xiaohong looked at the artwork hanging on the wall and couldn't help but marvel at it.

"What's so strange about this? It's said that 'Eastern Palace' is an industry invested by the Prime Minister. It's not surprising that JM Xu's works are hung on the wall. In T City and the whole world, there's no reason why the Prime Minister can't get what he wants." Wu Yuezhen couldn't help but feel a little uneasy after seeing the masterpiece on the wall, but then she thought about it. It's not surprising that the Prime Minister's industry would hang JM Xu's masterpiece. Everything is reasonable.

"Prime Minister? Designer Wu, you said that this 'Eastern Palace' also belongs to the Prime Minister." When Zhang Xiaohong heard that it was the Prime Minister's business, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

When Yan Ruyu came in, she happened to hear the conversation between Wu Yuezhen and Zhang Xiaohong and couldn't help but feel disdainful.

"Xiao Li, I'm telling you, this country girl is just a country girl, she can never be helped. It's just a piece of JM Xu's work, what's so weird about it? I've even been his model!"

When assistant Huang Li heard Yan Ruyu say this, she immediately agreed: "Sister Ruyu, what did our ancestors say? Oh, yes, this is called birds of a feather flock together. People are divided into groups."

When Zhang Xiaohong heard what Huang Li said, she was so angry that she wanted to rush up. However, Wu Yuezhen just gently pulled her hand, patted the back of her hand, and asked her to go upstairs together.

"Designer Wu, why are you..." Zhang Xiaohong was pulled into the private room by Wu Yuezhen, her heart still pounding.

"Less trouble is worse than more trouble. There is no need for us to make plans with someone like her. Moreover, we are now on the Prime Minister's territory. She had a scandal with the Prime Minister not long ago. It is possible that she wants to use us as a pawn. Why should we give her this opportunity?" Zhang Xiaohong is young and impulsive, while Wu Yuezhen is a stable character. She knows right from wrong very well. Yan Ruyu wants an acting opportunity, but she doesn't want to accompany her in a quarrel. She wants to be reported, but she doesn't want any negative news that is unfavorable to JY.

Zhao Zhehan did not ask the driver to come directly to the "Eastern Palace", but asked the driver to drive directly to the front of a club. Zhao Zhehan personally opened the door for Xia Xue and led her into the club.

"What?" Xia Xue looked at the club in front of her, a little confused.

"Your skirt is torn like this, do you want to wear it to meet the team you are going to cooperate with next?" Zhao Zhehan smiled and stretched out his hand in front of Xia Xue, explaining patiently. Xia Xue heard it and realized that she had torn her skirt herself.

She was forced to do so at that time, and it was really not decent to meet the team members like this now. She looked at the hand that Zhao Zhehan stretched out and shook her head. Zhao Zhehan understood. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

The club is JY's business, and Zhao Zhehan had already called to let her know. When Xia Xue entered, the salesperson had already picked up her clothes and was waiting on the side. Xia Xue did not refuse and followed the salesperson to change clothes.

Zhao Zhehan had someone prepare a pure black dress for her. It was comfortable and simple, elegant and generous. It was exactly the type Xia Xue liked. Black was mysterious and steady, which was very suitable for her status tonight. After she put it on, the salesperson on the side couldn't help but stare at her in amazement.

Xia Xue is very fair and tall. Her beautiful swan neck is slender and elegant, and the one-shoulder design of the skirt perfectly shows off her butterfly bones.

After the salesperson helped her change into her clothes, the designer immediately tied her hair up, leaving only a few strands hanging on both sides. Originally, they wanted to help Xia Xue put on some light makeup, but she refused directly. After changing out of a set of clothes, Xia Xue's whole temperament changed. Her natural temperament, cold and noble, like an elegant princess from the 19th century. Even Zhao Zhehan was stunned when he saw her.

Compared to the simple white princess-style dress she was wearing just now, this black dress brought out her whole temperament. At this moment, Xia Xue was not only elegant and mysterious, but also had an impulse that made people want to get closer.

"Ask someone to get another shawl over." Zhao Zhehan looked at the neckline of Xia Xue's skirt, frowned, and instructed the salesperson.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao." The salesperson did not dare to delay and went straight to get a silver shawl.

"?" Xia Xue looked at Zhao Zhehan with a puzzled look.

"It's windy at night, and the skirt is thin, so bring it with you just in case." At this time, the salesperson had already brought the shawl. Zhao Zhehan reached out to take it, gestured to Xia Xue to invite him in, and walked out first.

The East Palace was filled with laughter. Wu Yuezhen kept staring at the door of the box, looking at the watch on her hand from time to time.

"Sister Wu, what song do you want to sing? I'll nod to you." Zhang Xiaohong drank some wine and her face was a little red. Wu Yuezhen was usually very nice to them, and now after a little wine, her true nature was revealed. She directly took Wu Yuezhen's hand and acted coquettishly.

"You guys start singing first, I'll wait." Wu Yuezhen looked at the time and saw that an hour had passed, but Xia Xue and Zhao Zhehan hadn't come yet. She couldn't help but feel a little worried. She had just sent a text message to Xia Xue, but she hadn't replied yet. Could something have happened? The more Wu Yuezhen thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she walked out of the private room with her phone in hand.

In the restroom, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but feel impatient. JY had arranged a celebration banquet for them and booked a private room. It was fine that the designers and the models were separated into two private rooms. If she hadn't known that Zhao Zhehan would also come, she really didn't want to waste time here. But after waiting for a long time, she still didn't see the shadow of Zhao Zhehan. She couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Xiao Li, are you sure Mr. Zhao will come?" She asked her assistant Huang Li while putting on makeup.

"President Zhao personally asked his assistant to book the private rooms. I was there when he gave the instructions. President Zhao also told us to book two larger private rooms as he was coming."

"Go out and ask around to see when Mr. Zhao will come." Hearing that Zhao Zhehan would definitely come, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but feel relieved. In order to appear in front of Zhao Zhehan with the best makeup, she picked up the lipstick more carefully and told Huang Li while touching up her makeup.

Huang Li responded, and just as she opened the door, she saw Zhao Zhehan and a woman walking towards her. The woman was very beautiful, with skin that was as soft as a baby's. Huang Li filtered through her mind, but still couldn't find such a woman. Whether in the entertainment industry or among the socialites of T City, there was no such person. So who was this person?

With this question in mind, Huang Ligang turned around and wanted to inform Yan Ruyu, but Yan Ruyu had already pushed the door open and walked out. Zhao Zhehan and Xia Xue were walking in front, so they naturally didn't see the toilet. But Yan Ruyu clearly saw Zhao Zhehan and a woman walking side by side, talking and laughing. The woman's shawl was still in Zhao Zhehan's hand.

Yan Ruyu was so angry that her teeth itched. She looked at Huang Li fiercely and asked her in a sharp voice, "Who is she?"

"Sister Ruyu, don't be angry. I'll go check it out right away." Huang Li knew Yan Ruyu's temper very well. While she was anxious to comfort her, she had already picked up the phone to make an inquiry.

At this time, two waiters came over from the corridor. They were talking quietly: "Xiao Ru, is that Xia Xue who was walking with that guy just now? My God, she has changed so much. It's only been two years since we last met. How come she has become like this?"

"Isn't her family very poor? Why is she dressed like this? Could it be that she is hooking up with a rich man?"

"She hooked up with a rich man because of her silly appearance and pleasing personality. Which rich man would be attracted to her? When she was in school, didn't she say that she had an engagement with her husband? I remember that she made a lot of jokes in school because of this!"

"Now that you mention it, I remember it. The question is, would the Prime Minister be attracted to a woman like her? Think about it, the last time the Prime Minister inspected the club, her grace and elegance were beyond the reach of a silly woman like Xia Xue." When the waiter mentioned the Prime Minister, her entire face turned red.

"That woman who just walked past? Was it Xia Xue? She does look a bit like her. But her temperament isn't quite the same." The waiter recalled the temperament of the woman he had just passed by, but felt it was impossible.

Although she and Xia Xue look alike, their temperaments are worlds apart. Looking back, Xia Xue was a woman without personality and prone to crying. But the woman who just walked by, all her movements and actions were so elegant and unattainable. Every step she took exuded a unique personal charm. That was something Xia Xue could not compare to.

"That shouldn't be the case! Xia Xue doesn't have that kind of temperament."

"That's true, but I clearly heard the man call her Xia Xue. This is too coincidental."

The waiter walked further and further away, and her voice became quieter and quieter. So quiet that Yan Ruyu could no longer hear it. Yan Ruyu stood in front of the toilet, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She clutched her bag tightly, and her eyes narrowed.

This damned woman, her name is Xia Xue, right? She actually hooked up with Zhao Zhehan and even dared to covet the Prime Minister. She is really bold, if Yan Ruyu doesn't kill her, she won't be named Yan.

Huang Li found out from many sources that Xia Xue was the one who had asked Yan Ruyu to change her costume. What made Yan Ruyu even angrier was that she was not a designer for JY at all, and she was only there to watch the press conference. So, with new hatred and old grudges, Yan Ruyu could not help but get angry.

In her heart, she cursed Xia Xue. It would have been better if she didn't know. After knowing, Yan Ruyu naturally thought she did it on purpose. She must have known that the Prime Minister liked her and was jealous of her. That's why she did it on purpose. She was just like many women. She wanted to hook up with the Prime Minister and seek a higher position, so she had to use all means. However, this kind of means was used on her, and she couldn't swallow it no matter what.
