Chapter 401: What Happened

“Is there someone waiting for you?” Hearing this, He Wanyi raised her eyebrows and asked, “Is that person waiting for you to have lunch? Why don’t ask that person to come over and have lunch together with us?”

Tang Xi smiled and casually said, “She is not waiting for me to have lunch with her. It’s no big deal. I’ll call her back after lunch. Have the dishes all been served?”

“Yes, let’s get started.” He Wanzhou raised his glass. “Come on, Sister Rourou, let me propose a toast to the success of your fashion show.”

Tang Xi smiled and was about to drink, when Qiao Liang stopped her, handed a glass of juice to her and smiled. “You’ll have a meeting tonight, so you’d better not drink now.”

He knew how she would become after she got drunk. He didn’t want any other man see how she was like when she was drunk! Therefore, he thought she’d better not drink before she was fully recovered.

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiao Liang. Then she took the juice with a smile and said to He Wanzhou, “Sorry, Brother He, I have a task to perform, so I can’t accompany you to drink. Let’s drink until we are thoroughly drunk after I finish my task.”

He Wanzhou shrugged. “I didn’t expect you to drink since Qiao Liang is here. Don’t take Qiao Liang with you next time we go out for a drink.”

Tang Xi blinked at He Wanzhou and said slyly, “I understand your point.”

After lunch, they began to discuss when to shoot the promotion clip. As The Queen’s show would be held next Wednesday, they had to release the promotion clip by next Monday. The time was a bit tight. Tang Xi pursed her lips and said, “It will be too late to shoot the clip Saturday, not to mention Sunday, but if we do it tomorrow, we aren’t prepared.”

“It’s alright. I’ve seen your products and you have chosen the shooting site. If the models are available, it won’t be a problem to shoot it tomorrow. By the way, have you finished the script?” Ning Yan, as an experienced director, knew his job well.

Tang Xi pursed her lips and nodded. “I wrote the script myself and have finished it. I’ll send it to you later. If you think it’s okay, we’ll shoot according to the script… we’ll shoot Sister Wanyi’s poster tomorrow, and Sister Wanyi can publicize it for us in her Microblog account. And I’ll invite Tang Xi. If she agrees, I’ll ask her to come over to shoot the posters.”

“Do you know Tang Xi? Will she accept your invitation? I think you’d better prepare another model just in case.” Ning Yan said seriously. Although he thought it was a good idea to invite Tang Xi as The Queen’s endorser, he didn’t think she would accept it so easily. Many luxury brands had invited her to be their endorser, but she refused them all. It wouldn’t be easy to persuade her.

Besides, The Queen was only a new brand…

Ning Yan turned his eyes to Qiao Liang and sighed. Tang Xi was Qiao Liang’s ex-friend. She must hate Qiao Liang because he dumped her. How could she help Qiao Liang’s current girlfriend? She wouldn’t unless she was mad.

“You’re right. I’ll prepared one or two other models. Let’s make Sister Wanyi’s poster first. Now I can’t find anyone else who is more suitable than Tang Xi. If Tang Xi rejects to be our model, then I’ll just take Sister Wanyi as our endorser.” Tang Xi said, pursing her lips.

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xi. Xiao Jing rolled his eyes. God, could she just stop blowing her own horn?! How could she boast about herself without any shame?!

“You guys must be tired. Go back to your room and take a rest. I’ll be going to the show field.” Tang Xi smiled and took a look at her watch. The time she appointed with Qin Xinying was coming.

“Okay, let us know when you’re ready for the shoots.”

After seeing them off, Tang Xi told Qiao Liang that she was going to see Qin Xinying. Qiao Liang frowned when he heard that, asking, “Are you going to meet her alone?”

Tang Xi nodded and smiled. “Don’t worry. She won’t dare do anything to me.”

“Let me go with you. You know, the Kloss family is still looking for you. They won’t recognize you when you are Xiao Rou, but if you show up with the identity of Tang Xi, they will immediately find you.” Although Xu Fang was caught, Kloss Lov wasn’t. He must be quietly waiting for Tang Xi to show up.

Tang Xi frowned. She was still too weak, or else Qiao Liang wouldn’t have to accompany her all the time… Tang Xi took a look at her fist and sighed secretly. If she had been stronger, he wouldn’t have to worry about her, nor fear Kloss Lov.

“Are you free this afternoon?”

“Yes, I’m free since Lu Li is here.” Qiao Liang said and put Tang Xi’s coat over her body. “Let’s go. The time is up.”

…

It was two pm when the two of them changed and put on their respective skin masks. Tang Xi walked ahead of Qiao Liang who disguised as her bodyguard. He looked around vigilantly to see whether there was any suspicious people.

As soon as Tang Xi walked out of the hotel, her cell phone rang. She took a look at the caller ID and turned up the corner of her mouth, and her eyes had a cold gleam. “I’m on the way. Where shall we meet?”

“There is a cafe called Zero Degree beside the Eiffel Tower. Let’s meet here.”

Tang Xi frowned. She subconsciously rejected to approach Eiffel Tower because she quarreled with Qiao Liang there. She said flatly, “I’ll choose a cafe and send you the location later. The cafe you said is too far away from me.”

“Okay, send me the location then.” Qin Xinying sitting in Zero Degree took a deep breath and tried to suppress her inner anger. She needed Tang Xi now, so she could only tolerate her. Once her troubles were settled, she would definitely make Tang Xi regret doing this to her!

A cold gleam flashed through Tang Xi’s eyes. She opened the car door and was about to get into the car, when a man scurried over, held the car door and said in surprise, “Oh, is it really you, Xixi?!”

Tang Xi frowned and looked up at the man. Her eyes had a gleam of surprise when she recognized who he was. He Wanzhou? Why did he call her Xixi? Tang Xi didn’t know him when she was still Tang Xi!

He Wanzhou didn’t mention that he knew Tang Xi when they chatted! What happened?!
