Chapter 377 Exclusive Model VS Brand Spokesperson

Those who are obsessed with art are always different from ordinary people. Wu Ying is one of them. Seemingly, she hasn’t communicated with other people for a long time. Her words sound weird. However, she speaks sincerely. Compared with other disingenuous people, Xia Ning prefers to deal with ones like Wu Ying.

“Sure, I don’t mind.” Xia Ning smiles to turn to Wu Ying, “I know a lot of people want to become Ms. Wu’s good friends. Ms. Wu likes me. It is my honor. I hope I can talk with Ms. Wu frankly, and we will become intimate good friends.”

Xia Ning says sincerely. Wu Ying looks at Xia Ning’s eyes. Then, she turns around and goes to her working desk to look for something.

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. She turns to Zhou Mengyao, asking with her eyes whether she has said anything wrong.

Zhou Mengyao shakes her head. She gently pats Xia Ning’s shoulder.

“I find them.” Wu Ying cries happily. She carries a small box and goes to Xia Ning. She puts the box on Xia Ning’s hand, “They are yours!”

Wu Ying gives her a box of Universal Planet candies. As far as Xia Ning knows, this set of candies is made by high technology. They are limited for sale by the headquarter of its American producer. It is a whole box of them…God. It is absolutely not a matter of money!

Based on Wu Ying’s behaviors. Undoubtedly, she regards Xia Ning as her good friend. People will only share their loved things with good friends.

“It is a whole box of candies. They are too precious. I can’t take them all.” Xia Ning puts down the candies, “Well. Let’s divide them, a half for each of us. OK?”

Wu Ying strokes her head. She purses her lips, “You have them all this time. Next time, a half for each of us.”

“It is hard to buy them. If you give them all to me, Ms. Wu, you…”

“Call me Yingying!” Wu Ying interrupts with displeasure. Then she takes out her phone and makes some scratches. She shows it to Xia Ning, “Look, I have another box on the way. Don’t worry.”

Xia Ning is shocked blankly.

What speed! Seemingly, Wu Ying has a very good relationship with the candy company.

“OK. Then, I will take them all.” Xia Ning feels helpless. However, she is very glad. After a little while, she remembers something. She frowns tightly, “I get a gift from you. But I can’t figure out what I can give you for exchange.”

Wu Ying also has those she has. In the aspect of candies, Wu Ying is much pickier than her. As good friends, she should exchange gifts with Wu Ying. What can she give to Wu Ying?

“It is easy.” Wu Ying claps her hands, “Make some time to visit my studio, one hour a day, for a week. Will you?”

Xia Ning feels very confused about Wu Ying’s strange requirement, “I have never studied the art of design. I know nothing about it. I am unable to give you any suggestions.”

“I don’t need any suggestions from you. You only need to stand in front of me.” Saying this, Wu Ying turns to Zhou Mengyao, “President Zhou, I want to borrow Ningning for a week. Is that OK?”

Hearing her words, Xia Ning feels embarrassed. Seemingly, she has become an item.

Zhou Mengyao glances at Xia Ning. She smiles, “I can’t make decisions for Ning. You two may discuss with each other.”

Wu Ying turns to look at Xia Ning, “Ningning?”

“It is OK. But I don’t understand. Why do you want me to come here? And what’s the exact time for me to come?”

Wu Ying takes the lollipop out of her mouth. She crosses her arms on her chest, “I am thinking about the theme of National Clothing. It includes two parts, ladies from noble families and pretty girls from normal families. I prefer pretty girls from a normal family. However, to be honest, the current society is impatient, and there are few people with the quiet temperament of traditional pretty girls from normal families. I was worried about that. Ningning, you don’t know. It is easy to find a lady from a noble family while looking for a pretty girl from a normal family can be a headache. Luckily, I find you. Ha. I think I can start the project very soon.”

Xia Ning understands. Oh. That is the reason.

“As to time, when you have time, you can call me before you come.” Then, Wu Ying gives Xia Ning a violet golden card, “This is private information. Don’t show it to others.”

Xia Ning nods and carefully collects the card.

At the time, someone knocks at the door. A man appears on the screen. He says, “President Zhou, they say you are here. Ms. Wu, please open the door. I have something to discuss with you.”

Seeing the man, Wu Ying darkens his face, “I don’t want to meet this man. Tell him to leave.”

“Wu Ying.” Zhou Mengyao draws her hand. She gently pats it and says, “Yongran has been working hard for your project. Since you have made your decision, you may give him a response. So that he won’t come to disturb you again. What do you think?”

Wu Ying thinks for a while and gives in, “All right. I will listen to you.”

The door of the studio is opened and some men come in. The leading man is around forty years old. He wears a smart suit, and his hair is combed tidily and shiningly. His craggy face looks energetic and gentle. He looks a little similar to the famous TV star Gallen Lo.

Some women follow him, all are very young and beautiful. They look timid and lovable. When they see Zhou Mengyao, they are timid.

Wu Ying lifts her eyebrows and snorts to slightly turn around.

The man doesn’t feel surprised to see Wu Ying’s reaction. When he sees Xia Ning, who is standing behind Zhou Mengyao, he feels slightly surprised.

“President Zhou, Ying. Good afternoon.” The man politely greets. And he asks, “President Zhou, who is this?”

“Let me introduce for you.” Zhou Mengyao stretches her hand, “Ning, this is the general manager of the headquarters of Junhao Group. Yongran, this is my friend, Xia Ning, the assistant to the chief editor of World Era Weekly.”

Jiang Yongran’s eyes gleam. He holds out his hand to Xia Ning, “Assistant Xia, nice to meet you.”

Xia Ning nods and shakes hands with Jiang Yongran, “General Manager Jiang, nice to meet you.”

They have a brief conversation. Wu Ying feels a little impatient. She asks, “Jiang Yongran, what do you come here for? I am busy.”

Jiang Yongran lifts his eyebrows. He slightly leans to Wu Ying, “Ying, weren’t you worried about your model? I bring you some here. They are picked out among thousands of girls. You may check carefully whether any of them is suitable. Everyone, this is the famous designer Wu Ying. This is President Zhou of Junhao Group.”

The girls all brighten their eyes. They greet politely, “Ms. Wu, President Zhou.”

The women’s voices sound sweet. But the disadvantage is that they are so weak that as if they will be blown away anytime.

Wu Ying snorts. She glances at the girls brought by Jiang Yongran and says dismissively, “They are picked from thousands of girls? Manager Jiang really has a special eye.”

Hearing Wu Ying’s words, Jiang Yongran slightly freezes his face, “Ying, I really mean to help. Please don’t take it wrong.”

Wu Ying curls her lips dismissively.

“Well. Can you two cease to make a scene? It is ridiculous,” Zhou Mengyao says. She turns to look at the girls brought by Jiang Yongran.

The girls notice Zhou Mengyao’s looking, they all lower their heads shyly. Some of them even bite their lips and clench their hands. They all look weak and lovable.

Zhou Mengyao…frowns.

She doesn’t need to listen to Wu Ying’s comments. In her opinion, these are girls from normal families but have nothing to do with the word Pretty. To be more exact, they look weird, timidly pretentious.

She looks at them more carefully and finds that the expressions on their face are fake.

No wonder Wu Ying is so angry. Jiang Yongran is really bad at choosing models.

Jiang Yongran has worked for Zhou Mengyao for a long time. He can understand her opinions by reading her actions and expressions. He finds that she looks displeased. He feels shocked and understands her conclusion clearly.

“Ahem!” Jiang Yongran makes a light cough, “Since they are not suitable, I may go to find some others. President Zhou, Ying, I am leaving now.”

“Wait!” Wu Ying stops Jiang Yongran. She points at Xia Ning, “You don’t need to find others. Ning is my exclusive model now!”

Hearing this, both Jiang Yongran and Xia Ning feel shocked blankly.

Exclusive model? Xia Ning wonders whether she mishears.

She looks pretty. That is right. But she is totally out of the model standard. Is Wu Ying kidding?

Jiang Yongran notices Xia Ning’s expression. He realizes that this Ms. Xia is confused, too.

Wu Ying always didn’t get along well with him. Can she just casually get a woman here to challenge him?

Thinking about this, Jiang Yongran turns to look at Zhou Mengyao.

Zhou Mengyao gives a sigh, “General Manager Jiang. Wu Ying is right. Ning is the exclusive model for the project.”

Hearing Zhou Mengyao confirm it, not only Jiang Yongran, but also the other women are not convinced. They all stare at Xia Ning. Their complaining eyes tend to cut Xia Ning into thousands of pieces.

Xia Ning feels helpless.

“Since President Zhou confirms it, I surely agree with that. As regards the theme of this spring activity, Assistant Xia…is truly the most suitable choice.” This woman, Xia Ning, is greatly supported by both Zhou Mengyao and Wu Ying. Seemingly, she is not a simple woman as she looks.”

After he leaves, he will carefully investigate the background of her to avoid ruining his plan.

“President Zhou, I have a request. I mean, why don’t we hire Ning to be our spokesperson besides being my exclusive model.”

Xia Ning feels more confused when she hears Wu Ying’s words.

Spokesperson? Isn’t that always the stars’ business? She may at most be entitled the wife of Commander Yi. She has few fans and is unable to bring any brand effect.

Thinking about this, Xia Ning responds at once, “No. No. I am not a star. I may screw up…”

“Ningning,” Wu Ying interrupts, “Based on the reputation of Junhao Group, we don’t need to have any stars for advertising. President Zhou, am I right?”

Zhou Mengyao turns to look at Wu Ying and then at Jiang Yongran. Seemingly, neither of the two will give in.

If it were someone else, she would carefully think over the spokesperson issue. However, it is Xia Ning…

“Wu Ying is right. Junhao Group doesn’t need to have any stars to create the brand effect. Ning, as long as you agree, I will take care of everything.”

Not expecting that Zhou Mengyao agrees at once, Jiang Yongran slightly changes his color. He turns to look at Xia Ning again.

Zhou Mengyao is always strict and careful to do things better than the best. Making hasty decisions is not her style.

The importance of Xia Ning in Zhou Mengyao’s heart can be described as playing a decisive role now.

Then, she is a great threat to him!
