Shen Qingqing was confident that the price she proposed was absolutely top-tier in the industry, but what about Xie Ni?
Without even considering it, she directly rejected her proposal.
Kaya Jewelry, she had only endorsed it for two years, and hadn’t continued after those two years. Isn’t it because she had a falling out with Kaya?
Her relationship with Tang Yue was close; at any event she attended, she never wore clothes from other brands, which was an invaluable advertisement for Tang Yue.
Why did Xie Ni refuse her?
Shen Qingqing’s beautiful eyes darkened, and she tapped the table absent-mindedly.
After leaving the Imperial Dynasty Restaurant, Xie Ni headed straight for the Tang Family’s house.
"Sister Xie, how do you have time to come over?"
Tang Yue was in the middle of lunch at home and was surprised to see Xie Ni.
"Why are you only eating now?" Xie Ni looked at the delicious meal and felt her stomach rumble with hunger again.
"Join us."
Tang Yue invited her, got up to fetch an extra set of dishes, and said, "We were just busy this morning and didn’t get to eat until now."
"Your home-cooked meals are the best."
Xie Ni had just had lunch with Shen Qingqing and was considering how to refuse her. Even though the food at the Imperial Dynasty Restaurant was delicious, she ate just for show, filling her belly only halfway.
"If you have time, come over every day to eat; I won’t mind." Tang Yue chuckled. Today, Zhang Hualian and Mo Xiaolin hadn’t come over, so she was at home with her two kids and Wu Xin.
She had been busy in the studio for half the day. Yang Na and the others, who joined the studio later, were slowly keeping up after a year of testing.
This again proved that the people recommended by Teacher Mei were indeed excellent and worth nurturing.
Now, she planned to participate in next year’s winter fashion show, naturally needing manpower, and Star Bright’s clothing line couldn’t be missed either; Tang Yue would likely be very busy in the second half of the year. Over at Ming Yue, she had already become the hands-off manager, supervising Star Bright.
"I wish I could." Xie Ni thought that Tang Family’s home-cooked food was much tastier and ate another bowl, patting her full stomach and saying, "Oh no, I won’t be able to eat for the next few meals again!"
She shouldn’t have been so greedy just now.
"You’re very slim." Tang Yue glanced at Xie Ni’s curvy figure and couldn’t resist touching her own waist. She had thought her waist was already slim, but compared to Xie Ni’s, she seemed to have gained weight.
"Your figure is just right." Xie Ni touched her waist, feeling some flesh but not skinny, just about right. She said, "By the way, today D Jewelry’s design director, Shen Qingqing, looked for me."
"Shen Qingqing?" Tang Yue instinctively asked, "Isn’t it Lian Qingqing?"
If she remembered correctly, Lian Qingqing was the design director of D Jewelry.
"When she introduced herself, it was Shen Qingqing. I remember very clearly." Xie Ni answered, handing over a business card, "Look, it’s written clearly on this card, Shen Qingqing."
Tang Yue furrowed her brow, casually picked up a piece of paper nearby, and with a few strokes of a pencil, sketched Lian Qingqing’s features.
Xie Ni smiled with pressed lips but eventually stayed silent.
Tang Yue watched Xie Ni leave and fell into silence. Xie Ni was perfect in every way, except she was unlucky in love. Previously, she had been in a relationship, but the guy eventually cheated due to Xie Ni’s hectic schedule, leading to a period of depression for her before throwing herself back into work.
In the past two years, though busy with work, Xie Ni seemed calm and collected, but Tang Yue could feel that she hadn’t moved past that emotional wound.
She hoped Xie Ni would realize this soon.
Tang Yue thought about Lian Qingqing changing to Shen Qingqing. Regardless of whether it was Lian Qingqing or Shen Qingqing, there was no mortal grudge between them, right?
Neither the execution of Shen Jing nor Xiang Yazhi’s death had anything to do with her.
Why had Shen Qingqing suddenly approached Xie Ni for an endorsement?
Tang Yue pondered for a long time but still couldn’t figure it out. Wu Xin said, "Should I investigate it?"
"That sounds good." Tang Yue reminded, "Wu Xin, no matter when, your safety is the most important thing."
"Don’t worry, don’t you trust my skills?" Wu Xin asked nonchalantly, feeling that such matters only needed a bit of effort to investigate thoroughly.
Thinking that with Wu Xin’s investigation, it wouldn’t be long before things were clear, but before he could find anything, something happened to Xie Ni.
Major news magazines and newspapers were flooded with reports, labeling the ballad queen Xie Ni as a homewrecker who destroyed someone else’s marriage. Various insults and rumors spread like mushrooms after the rain.
