After that night, Jiang Siyan called her several more times, but Su Er didn't answer.
After that, Jiang Siyan never contacted her again.
Their lives had no other way of intersecting; once they lost contact, they were essentially strangers.
Su Er thought, perhaps this is where it ends.
Given Jiang Siyan's personality, he would never tolerate someone repeatedly ignoring his calls.
"It's over," Su Er silently repeated the word in her heart, a bitter smile on her face.
Perhaps, in Jiang Siyan's heart, their relationship never even began.
But these things didn't keep Su Er in a low mood for long. She was a very resilient person, and starting the next morning, she spontaneously began to go to the gym regularly.
The self-loathing and pain she felt that night were hidden in her dried tear stains. She told herself that it was just a return to how things were before.
After two days of such leisure, Su Er began to get busy again.
She was invited to attend the Spring/Summer red carpet event for V Magazine, and Lin Shuqin arrived early in the afternoon with her makeup artist.
Su Er was halfway through her makeup when she heard Lin Shuqin yelling, "What kind of work are you doing? How could you make such a basic mistake? Don't you know how much damage this will cause our artist?!"
Lin Shuqin is always polite to outsiders, and it's rare to see her so angry and exasperated.
After slamming down the phone, Lin Shuqin stopped the stylist who was putting a necklace on Su Er.
Su Er looked at her with concern and asked, "Sister Qin, what's wrong? Can't this set of jewelry be used?"
Lin Shuqin held her phone, scrolled to the departure photos that Shu Sui's studio had just posted, and showed them to her, saying, "This outfit is the same style as Shu Sui's."
Su Er frowned upon hearing this. Given her current status, if she were to have the same style as Shu Sui, she would likely be accused of trying to ride on her coattails.
Regardless of whether Shu Sui's side has any suggestions, such matters are easily amplified by the media. If this leaves a stereotype in the audience, it will be very detrimental to her future public image.
It's a terrible mistake for the same brand to lend the same necklace to two celebrities. It would be one thing if they didn't wear jewelry at other events, but it happened at a fashion event like this.
The clothes you wear and the accessories around your neck are the best ways to showcase your fashion sense. There have been instances where celebrities gained fame from a single photo, which subsequently led to a significant boost in their fashion resources.
Lin Shuqin cursed, "Damn it! What a terrible thing he's done!"
"Don't they have a solution?"
Lin Shuqin got even angrier at this point, "Hmph, they gave them to me, but those necklaces they gave me are so bad you probably couldn't even see the diamonds in them even with the light on."
"What about other brands? Can we borrow them in time?" Su Er asked as she turned back to finish her makeup.
Lin Shuqin held her phone. "I'll give it a try."
That being said, Lin Shuqin and Su Er actually knew that this was somewhat unrealistic. Each brand had its own considerations when allocating resources. There were standards for the number of high-end custom-made items and jewelry given to celebrities with different titles, not to mention lending them out to artists who were not their own spokespeople or ambassadors.
After thinking it over, Lin Shuqin walked over to her and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Er, why don't you ask Jiang Siyan?"
Given his status, obtaining a piece of jewelry that suits Su Er would be an easy task.
If this had happened three days ago, Su Er might have been able to speak up, but now...
Su Er's eyes flickered when she heard his name. She pursed her red lips and looked at her with difficulty, saying, "Sister Qin, I had a fight with him."
To put it mildly, Su Er was arguing; perhaps a more blunt way to put it would be that they broke up.
Although Lin Shuqin didn't know what the two had argued about, judging from Su Er's expression, it must have been quite a fight.
Lin Shuqin didn't say much about matters of the heart. Just as she was worrying and preparing to think of another way, there was a sudden knock on the open door. "Xiao Er?"
When Su Er saw the figure in the mirror, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Senior brother! What are you doing here?"
Xiao Shiyu is the senior who helped Su Er film a movie when she was having a breakdown during finals. He is two years older than her and has been steadily working in the entertainment industry. At the end of last year, he was nominated for Best Actor at a mainstream award for a suspense film during the Lunar New Year season.
Although he didn't win any awards, his status has risen considerably.
Xiao Shiyu didn't come in, but stood at the door and said, "I have an audition in a couple of days, and it's closer to here."
Su Er nodded, but at this point she really didn't have time for small talk, so she could only smile and say, "Then, senior brother, I'll treat you to a meal in a couple of days."
Xiao Shiyu smiled and said he wasn't in a hurry to leave, asking her, "Are you going to attend the V magazine's red carpet event?"
"Um, are you going too, senior brother?"
Xiao Shiyu hummed in agreement, glanced around the room, and asked, "Is there a problem on your end?"
The door was never closed, and anyone passing through the corridor would have heard Lin Shuqin's curses.
Su Er shrugged with a bitter expression. "The jewelry brand made a mistake; it clashed with Senior Shu Sui's design."
Xiao Shiyu paused for a moment, "Xiao Er, if you think it's possible, I'll see if I can help you contact other brands to coordinate."
Xiao Shiyu started acting in college, and over the years he's been in the industry, he definitely has more influence than her.
Upon hearing this, Su Er exchanged a glance with Lin Shuqin and asked incredulously, "Really? Senior brother!"
"I'm not sure if it will work out on my end either. Could you ask Sister Qin to help make some connections? I'll let you know if I get any news."
