When Zhang Man and the others arrived, Liang Ke was discussing his insights and experiences in jewelry design with Ye Ruohan. When they were having a pleasant conversation, there was a knock on the office door.
Just before this, the assistant had called Liang Ke to report, so Ye Ruohuan and Liang Ke looked at each other. Ye Ruohuan was about to get up and open the door, but was stopped by Liang Ke: "I'll do it."
Liang Ke went to open the door himself and saw a tall beauty standing at the door, followed by two assistants.
Liang Ke glanced at them calmly. Although he knew who the beauty in front of him was, he still asked: "Hello, who are you?"
Liang Ke's eyes swept back and forth between the three of them, and the time he stayed on Zhang Man was less than half a minute, which almost made Zhang Man lose face.
In fact, Liang Ke didn't do this on purpose, but she had worked with Zhang Man before when she graduated.
At that time, Zhang Man was already an international supermodel, while Liang Ke was just an unknown designer who had just graduated. It was also at that time that her graduation work was almost ruined by Zhang Man's bad temper.
Liang Ke is particularly protective of her people. She has done her best for Zhang Man by not refusing to cooperate with her, who has already been blacklisted.
Zhang Man's face turned very bad. She took off her sunglasses and, relying on her advantage of being taller than Liang Ke, looked down at Liang Ke with a cold look, but she didn't say anything.
The calm-looking assistant who came with Zhang Man took a step forward and said to Liang Ke, "I am Zhang Man's agent, Chen Hong."
Liang Ke shifted his gaze to Chen Hong, nodded slightly and said, "I remember now. Assistant Wen told me about it. Please come in and sit down."
Zhang Man seemed to snort, walked past Liang Ke arrogantly, and walked into her small office.
The moment Zhang Man walked in, Ye Ruohuan stood up from the sofa, and at the same time, a high-end but pungent perfume smelled in her nose.
Ye Ruohuan's throat was itchy and he tried his best to hold back his cough. He raised his head slightly and looked at the tall beauty in front of him.
Zhang Man also looked at the woman in front of her, whose height only reached her chest. There was nothing special about her plain little face except for her pretty facial features. She couldn't afford any brand name clothes, and she didn't even have any decent jewelry to wear.
Is this Fu Yijian's girlfriend? She looks so shabby, and doesn't seem as favored as outsiders say.
Zhang Man felt a little confused and doubtful, because she knew Ye Ruohuan.
Because Ye Ruohuan has been on the news headlines and Weibo hot list several times, and more importantly, because Ye Ruohuan is Fu Yijian's official girlfriend, how could Zhang Man not pay attention to such a big wireless hotspot.
Ye Ruohuan took one look at Zhang Man's face and knew how this bad-tempered superstar looked down on her in his heart.
But Ye Ruohuan pursed her lips slightly. She didn't care too much about other people's opinions. It was enough for her to be herself.
After the three of them entered the office, Liang Ke closed the door, cutting off the gazes of colleagues in the office outside.
Five women standing in Liang Ke's office suddenly seemed very crowded. Ye Ruohuan gave up her seat on the sofa and stood with Liang Ke.
After a while, Liang Ke's assistant knocked on the door and walked in with five cups of coffee.
After the assistant left, Liang Ke cleared his throat and began to speak formally: "Shall we talk about the specific details of the cooperation?"
Chen Hong glanced at Zhang Man's face, nodded, and was about to speak when the beautiful and wealthy girl beside her spoke up, "Is she also participating in our negotiations?"
When Zhang Man spoke, her eyes were looking at Ye Ruohuan, and her meaning was self-evident.
Ye Ruohuan opened her eyes wide in embarrassment and looked at Liang Ke beside her at a loss. She also felt that it seemed inappropriate for her to appear in such a business cooperation.
Liang Ke patted Ye Ruohuan on the shoulder, silently comforted her, and then explained to Zhang Man: "This is the studio's newly hired chief designer. Her name is Ye Ruohuan, and she will also be responsible for your jewelry customization this time."
Unexpectedly, after Liang Ke's introduction, Zhang Man's face turned dark, and her eyes became fierce as she said, "I know who she is. Your studio just arranged a designer who plagiarized other people's ideas to design my jewelry? Is this the sincerity of your studio? Isn't this too disrespectful to me?"
Zhang Man refuted Liang Ke's words mercilessly, making the situation awkward for a while, especially for Ye Ruohuan herself. She felt that her presence was causing trouble for the studio and made Liang Ke even more embarrassed.
When she was about to open her mouth to explain, she was stopped by Liang Ke beside her. Liang Ke's face darkened and he said in a very unkind manner: "The news about Designer Ye on the Internet are all rumors. I believe that Miss Zhang and your team have their own judgment. As for the cooperation, if we really can't come to an agreement, then forget it."
Liang Ke's words shocked everyone present. Ye Ruohuan felt mixed emotions and was speechless.
Don't even think about going head-on with Liang Ke, otherwise both of you will suffer.
And now, we are in this situation.
Zhang Man was choked by Liang Ke's words and was unable to refute, but she couldn't get angry and leave on the spot. She could only stare at Ye Ruohuan with a red face.
Liang Ke silently pulled Ye Ruohuan behind him and faced Zhang Man's gaze, obviously with an attitude of protecting his child.
In a small office, smoke of war slowly rose between five women.
Chen Hong gritted her teeth and tried to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "It's all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. We just need to talk it out."
What else could Zhang Man say after her agent said that? She looked away, staring angrily at the innocent assistant.
Someone handed over a ladder, and Liang Ke stopped being sour-looking. She followed Chen Hong's words and said, "Then let's talk about what kind of design Miss Zhang wants."
As soon as Liang Ke finished speaking, Ye Ruohuan handed over the jewelry design patterns they had prepared long ago.
Because this order is quite important. After all, this cooperation can be considered an international order, right?
After all, Zhang Man plans to wear this set of jewelry on the international stage. Whether their studio can use it to increase its popularity on the red carpet depends on Zhang Man's fashion influence.
Zhang Man flipped through the book of jewelry design patterns page by page and soon finished it.
When she turned to the last page, Zhang Man closed the album and said unhappily, "Is this all your studio has to offer? They are all old styles from previous years, without any innovation. How can I wear them on the red carpet?"
Zhang Man made the situation awkward again.
