Chapter 182 JM Xu
"What? Designer Xia. President Zhao is very optimistic about you. Don't let everyone down. I was hoping that thanks to you, I could see the world in this industry and go international!"
Wu Yuezhen was not praising Xia Xue, but she knew that Xia Xue had this ability.
Wu Yuezhen talked a lot with Xia Xue again. Xia Xue wanted to know some things about JM Xu, but unfortunately Wu Yuezhen didn't know. She only knew that JM Xu was a weird person, and although he made a sensation in the world, his works were few and all of them were unique. As for his background, age, and who taught him, she knew nothing.
All we know is that his work became famous overnight in a design competition, but he is extremely eccentric and difficult to get along with.
The more Xia Xue listened, the more curious she became. There were actually such mysterious people in the industry.
"JM Xu is said to be coming to T City this time to accept an apprentice. He will also guide this apprentice to cooperate with the selected enterprise to design new products for the next season. If JY Group can really cooperate with JM Xu, then I think JY's new products for the next season will surely drive the fashion trends for several seasons, and will definitely have a great impact on JY. And if we can cooperate with JM Xu, it will be a rare opportunity. By then, Xia Xue, your name will definitely be well-known in the industry." Wu Yuezhen became more and more excited the more she thought about it. As a fashion designer, regardless of whether she can become famous or not, just being able to cooperate with a master-level figure is already very remarkable.
As Xia Xue's chief designer, she will definitely learn a lot of knowledge by then.
This is a rare opportunity both in the workplace and in technology.
"JM Xu is going to accept a disciple?" Xia Xue's focus was obviously different from Wu Yuezhen's. When she heard that JM Xu was going to accept a disciple, she couldn't help but think deeply.
"Yes, that's what they said." Wu Yuezhen did not hide anything she knew from Xia Xue.
"It is said that JM Xu's visit to T City has a lot to do with his plan to recruit an apprentice. He owes someone a big favor, and this time he came to repay the favor. And this apprentice he wants to recruit should also be a predetermined one, just to make his apprentice famous in the industry. Otherwise, with a person like him, he would definitely not bother to cooperate with any group. After all, he has already gained both fame and fortune. If he didn't have a compelling reason, how could he agree to it!"
After Wu Yuezhen left, Xia Xue wanted to call her Prime Minister, only to find out that she didn't have his phone number.
I wanted to call Sun Wenhong, but I was afraid that she would think too much.
[Xia Xue: Bibi, can the system find the Prime Minister's contact information? ]
【Bibi: You can find Xiang’s phone number. 】
[Xia Xue: I can find the Xiang family on Baidu, the question is, can I find Mr. Xiang? ]
Xia Xue rolled her eyes.
【Bibi: Then there is no way? Why don’t you ask him yourself? 】
【Xia Xue: ......】
The system couldn't find the contact information of the Prime Minister, and Sun Wenhong couldn't ask. After thinking about it, Xia Xue still took the time to go back home. She left a note for the Prime Minister, then changed her clothes and rushed to the banquet venue.
People were coming and going in the venue. Zhao Zhehan and Wu Yuezhen had already arrived. Xia Xue took the invitation letter and saw the person she least wanted to see, Tong Zhenzhen, as soon as she entered the venue.
Xia Xue saw Tong Zhenzhen from a distance and was a little surprised.
She had always ignored one question. She only knew that Tong Zhen was the murderer who forced Xia Xue to death, but she had never paid attention to what she did or what her family background was like.
Being able to hang out with the Xiang family since she was young, and giving her and the Xiangye such an expensive wedding gift yesterday, Xia Xue knew without asking that Tong Zhenzhen's family must be either rich or noble. And being able to come to this banquet today, and thinking about the gift she gave yesterday, could it be that she is also in the industry?
Xia Xue saw Tong Zhenzhen, and Tong Zhenzhen naturally saw Xia Xue as well. Seeing from a distance, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. Aunt Sun didn't say Xia Xue had a job, and Third Brother had never been interested in the clothing industry. Could it be that Third Brother was here?
Is this possible? Dad invited my third brother?
When she thought of this, Tong Zhen could no longer stay there. She said something rude to the people around her and walked towards Xia Xue.
Just as Xia Xue was about to avoid Tong Zhenzhen, she saw Tong Zhenzhen coming towards her. This really proved the saying that you can't hide even if you want to.
Xia Xue smiled and guessed that Tong Zhen really thought that his third brother was coming, so he came here in such a hurry.
"Sister-in-law." Seeing Tong Zhenzhen walking towards her, Xia Xue also went to meet her.
"Really." As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Facing a beautiful woman with scorpion-like bodies flashing with poisonous needles, in such a public place, Xia Xue could only smile along.
However, there are so many people here. Zhao Zhehan and Wu Yuezhen are here again. It is not a good place to talk with Tong Zhenzhen. Xia Xue looked around. There was a small door on the right. She looked over there and saw a small garden outside.
Xia Xue and Tong Zhenzhen greeted each other and slowly walked over there.
At this moment, Tong Zhenzhen was only thinking about asking her whether the Prime Minister was coming with her, because if she left, she would definitely follow him out.
Sure enough, Tong Zhenzhen saw Xia Xue walking outside and followed her outside.
Xia Xue didn't stop until she reached the small garden.
Tong Zhenzhen saw Xia Xue stop and looked left and right but didn't see the figure of Xiangye. She couldn't help but ask Xia Xue anxiously: "Sister-in-law, is the third brother coming tonight too?"
Xia Xue sneered. As expected, she was right. She really was asking about the Prime Minister.
"Your third brother didn't come tonight. I came out with my friends to see the world." As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. What Tong Zhenzhen wanted to know most was the Prime Minister's situation, and what she wanted to know now was what the relationship between Tong Zhenzhen and this industry was.
However, she was not in a hurry to ask Tong Zhenzhen whether she had any connection with this industry. After all, Zhao Zhehan and Wu Yuezhen had been in this industry for so long, and she would know after asking them.
At this moment, the question is how to make her leave and get away with it at the same time.
"Third brother didn't come!" Tong Zhenzhen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she heard that the Prime Minister didn't come.
Seeing Xia Xue's expression, he changed his tone and said sarcastically, "Third brother's hand was injured, but you didn't stay at home to take care of him. Instead, you came here with some so-called friends to see the world. Is this how you take care of Third brother?"
"Do you have any opinions?" Xia Xue looked at Tong Zhenzhen innocently and said lightly, "Your third brother agreed! I have no choice. He loves me so much and almost always agrees to my requests. As soon as I said I wanted to come, he agreed immediately. If his hand hadn't been injured, I'm afraid he would have come with me in person!"
Tong Zhenzhen hit the cotton with a stick, and was helpless against Xia Xue. Hearing what Xia Xue said, he was even more angry. Without thinking, he directly retorted: "Impossible, Third Brother would never do that, you must be lying."
How could Tong Zhenzhen not know what kind of personality the Prime Minister has, having grown up with him since childhood? He has always hated women, and there were not many women around him since he was a child. It can be said that there was no other woman besides her.
Xia Xue was just forced upon him by his grandfather, how could she possibly win the favor of the Prime Minister, and to the extent that he would grant her every request? This Xia Xue really loves face and is really good at boasting.
Xia Xue wanted to blow the whistle, but she didn't even consider who she was blowing the whistle to. Others could believe it, but could she?
The reason why he protected her like that yesterday was simply because Aunt Sun was there, and Xia Xue thought she was really that easy to fool.
If the third brother really cared about her, he wouldn't have asked her when she was free and wanted to treat her to dinner yesterday.
I don't know how this woman knew there was something wrong with the painting yesterday. She lost face in front of Aunt Sun and Third Brother. She was so embarrassed.
And now, she had to save face no matter what.
"Whether it's possible or not, that's not up to you to decide." Xia Xue really hated Tong Zhenzhen's aggressive look.
What the hell? She really thinks she is the only one who understands the Prime Minister.
Alas, no wonder this could drive Xia Xue to death. With Xia Xue's weak personality and her love for the Prime Minister, I'm afraid she would really have to endure endless grievances!
The problem is, she is not Xia Xue, is there any need to give in to her?
If you want to take advantage of her, Xia Xue is no pushover!
"Xia Xue, you..." Tong Zhen was so angry that she jumped up and down, but she had to admit that she was completely helpless with her at the moment.
She was really pissed off. However, this was her family's party tonight, and she had to embarrass her in front of so many people. She didn't believe that she could be so lucky today.
No, who did Tong Zhenzhen come with? Did Third Brother know? She had to find out.
Seeing Tong Zhenzhen gritting her teeth, Xia Xue couldn't help but despise her in her heart. She walked past her and went inside: "If there's nothing else, I'll go in first."
"Stop." Seeing Xia Xue was about to go inside, Tong Zhenzhen couldn't help but get anxious and reached out to grab her arm.
"Let go." Xia Xue looked at Tong Zhenzhen holding her hand, her eyes were very sharp. Tong Zhenzhen thought Xia Xue was harmless when she saw her yesterday, but now under her gaze, for some reason, that look made her shudder for no reason.
At this moment, her aura was somewhat similar to that of her third brother.
"Just wait for me..." Seeing that she couldn't overpower Xia Xue, and couldn't fight her here, Tong Zhenzhen could only speak quickly: "Sooner or later, Third Brother will know your true face. Don't think that Third Brother will forgive you then. Just wait and cry."
"I don't know whether that day ever happened, but I know your third brother can't bear to see me get hurt in the slightest. Why don't you give it a try?"
This Tong Zhen is really hopeless. Xia Xue shook her head with pity. Without even looking at her, she walked straight inside.
Tong Zhen really wanted to chase after him but was afraid of being seen by others and being laughed at, so he could only hold back and clench his fists.
But when Xia Xue was about to reach the door, she suddenly turned around and said to her in a very cheerful voice: "Call me sister-in-law when you see me in the future. If your third brother knows that you call me by my name, he will be unhappy."
"Are you sick? Go see a doctor if you are. You are not worthy of being called sister-in-law." Tong Zhenzhen was provoked by Xia Xue and started to curse.
"It's the same thing. Your third brother has the final say on whether I'm worthy or not. You can also go to your third brother and complain to him to see whether he will help you or me. Besides, if you have the ability, you can just ask him to divorce me." When it comes to arguing, Xia Xue is much better than Tong Zhen.
This crazy woman, she likes Xiangye, that's her own business. She didn't provoke her, why do you keep targeting her like this?
She doesn't care about the Prime Minister anyway. If she doesn't target her everywhere and treat her as an imaginary enemy, she can consider returning the Prime Minister to her earlier. But now... it really depends on her mood.
No, she was really fooled by the innocence of childhood. She had to get rid of the Prime Minister as soon as possible and complete the mission, only then could she live a wonderful life.
How annoying! She still wants to stay in this circle. This prime minister has made enemies for her before her wonderful life has even begun. If Tong Zhen is really a member of this circle and happens to have some weight, I'm afraid her future will not be easy.
And just now, she deliberately asked her to call her sister-in-law. In fact, she did it on purpose. With Tong Zhenzhen's arrogant look, it is impossible for her to call her sister-in-law. Yesterday in front of the Prime Minister and Sun Wenhong, she just endured her temper and called her very reluctantly. Just now, she was not sure whether the Prime Minister was by her side. But now, she was afraid that she would set a trap for her in front of everyone, so she had to resort to this desperate measure to anger her.
After she said that, she would definitely never call her sister-in-law again. Of course, except in front of the Prime Minister.
But tonight, she might have to be more careful.
After Xia Xue left, Tong Zhenzhen yelled a few more words before leaving. After the two left, a figure walked out from behind the stone mountain not far from where Xia Xue and Tong Zhenzhen had just talked. He looked in the direction where the two had left and narrowed his eyes.
There is only one person that Tong Zhenzhen calls her Third Brother, and that is Xiang Ye. And the woman just now, is she Xiang Ye's woman?
This is quite interesting!
That woman does look interesting.
Everyone in the fashion circle of T City knew that JM Xu would be attending the banquet tonight. Because of this, the banquet tonight was almost full of big names in the clothing, modeling and celebrity circles of T City. Almost everyone with fame and connections was present. The supermodels and celebrities that could be seen everywhere almost blinded the entire banquet venue.
Zhao Zhehan has been through many battles in this kind of banquets and can handle it with ease. Wherever he goes, he knows someone and has endless things to talk about. He is not careless at all. Although Wu Yuezhen is also a person in the fashion circle, she still can't adapt to listening to these big bosses talking about tens of millions or hundreds of millions of businesses. Moreover, she also found that although there are many male models here. But Zhao Zhehan standing among them is not inferior to them, and can even be said to be better than them. In addition to the power behind him, he can be regarded as a diamond-level single man in T City. Now, let alone celebrities and famous models, even the daughters of famous families are around him from time to time. After she and Zhao Zhehan came in, women would occasionally steal glances at Zhao Zhehan. And Wu Yuezhen, who was standing next to him, naturally became the focus of others' attention.
"Mr. Zhao, when did you get a girlfriend?"
"Mr. Zhao, is this your girlfriend?"
Faced with wave after wave of attacks, she couldn't help but feel a headache.
From time to time, people would ask her about her relationship with Zhao Zhehan, but Zhao Zhehan never explained it, just smiled. It made her feel like she was in a dilemma whether to explain or not.
Finally, she saw Xia Xue coming in. She no longer cared about being polite, so she just said hello to Zhao Zhehan and left.
Xia Xue broke away from Tong Zhenzhen and slowly walked towards the venue.
As soon as she entered the venue, she saw Wu Yuezhen walking towards her from a distance. She did not turn around, but walked straight towards Wu Yuezhen.
Tonight, Wu Yuezhen wore a purple dress, which brought out her whole temperament. Her fair skin looked even whiter under the purple dress and the light. Xia Xue couldn't help but whistled when she saw her. This was quite different from the Wu Yuezhen she saw on weekdays.
Wu Yuezhen usually looks cool and aloof like a female professional, but now she is more gentle and charming, showing off her feminine characteristics.
"Rogue!" Wu Yuezhen couldn't help but be amused by Xia Xue when she saw her whistling at her.
He walked up to Xia Xue, took her hand, and followed her to the center of the banquet hall.
Zhao Zhehan had noticed Xia Xue when she entered the venue, but unfortunately, he was not like Wu Yuezhen who could open the door as he pleased, and he was able to get away after a moment of embarrassment.
Tong Zhenzhen came out behind Xia Xue. She first saw Wu Yuezhen approaching Xia Xue, so she thought the friend Xia Xue was talking about was Wu Yuezhen. Wu Yuezhen was a little famous in the clothing industry in T City, but Tong Zhenzhen had just returned to China, so she didn't know much about Wu Yuezhen and didn't take her seriously. She snorted coldly, "I thought you were with some big shot, but you followed a little-known little guy who said he wanted to see the world. You want to see JM Xu, haha, I won't let you see him."
So she turned around and went upstairs again.
JM Xu was just in the VIP room upstairs, and no one knew which company he had chosen this time. Her father had provided him with several companies for reference that day, but he just hadn't made up his mind.
This banquet tonight was also specially prepared for him by her father.
According to JM Xu, he wants to meet with the entrepreneurs selected by his father tonight to see who fits his position and then decide who to cooperate with.
It would be great if the third brother is willing. The third brother and JM Xu are so close. If the third brother is willing to get involved in the fashion industry, she can learn from JM Xu and help the third brother manage this part of his industry after she becomes a master. When the time comes, the husband and wife will follow each other, and life will be so wonderful.
