The next afternoon, Luo Chenxi brought Fang Ziqian to SL Corporation.

Sheng Yu sized up Fang Ziqian. “Is this the female model you've contracted? She doesn't seem to be a professional, will she really do well?”

Luo Chenxi explained, “All the professional ones dare not model for me thanks to Wu Lingshan, so I can only get a part timer. Despite that, she's actually pretty good at runway walk, so there's no need for Chief Sheng to worry.”

Sheng Yu glanced at Luo Chenxi and said with a faint smile, “Why would I be worried? This is your own compet.i.tion after all. I'll just sit back and witness what you're capable of!”

“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you this, Wu Lingshan invested a lot of money in this. She tossed out a huge sum to hire the number one supermodel Bai Xinxin as her model. If your model falls behind in runway skills, you're not going to have a good chance of winning even if your design is good.”

“What? Bai Xinxin?” Luo Chenxi's face instantly darkened.

It was Bai Xinxin again!

Enemies indeed cross each others' roads pretty often, huh? Why did Luo Chenxi have to b.u.mp into her everywhere she went?

Sheng Yu saw the look on her face and got the wrong idea. He raised his eyebrows. “What is it, cutiepie? Are you scared?

Luo Chenxi pouted. “Scared? Why should I be scared? I won't feel the least bit scared even if it's a European model, let alone Bai Xinxin herself.”

“It seems… that you are very confident in your own design!”

“Not just in my design, but in my models as well.”

Back in the day, both Luo Chenxi and Fang Ziqian each had a dream of their own—one of them was convicted to the dream of becoming an internationally renowned fas.h.i.+on designer, while the other one dreamt of being a showstopper on the T stage.

However, it was as if reality itself gave each of them a slap in the face.

Luo Chenxi got expelled from the Royal College of Arts and returned to China dejectedly.

Meanwhile, Fang Ziqian was faced with unspoken rules several times. In the end, she had no choice but to give up on contracts with modelling agencies and ended up taking college exams.

Five years later, today, the girls finally got a chance to showcase their skills on the same stage.

Fang Ziqian's eyes lit up as she saw Shao Mingyi and darted toward him with a yell.

“You, you, you… you must be Young Master Shao! My idol! My prince charming! I like your songs so much that I bought every one of your alb.u.ms! Oh, do you mind taking a picture with me?”

Luo Chenxi could not help but chuckle.

Fang Ziqian's favorite celebrity was none other than Shao Mingyi, so she was going to be in for a wild ride.

Shao Mingyi was very cooperative. He allowed Fang Ziqian to lead him around and even let her take quite a few pictures. As she did, Fang Ziqian kept on changing camera angles over and over. Yet, there was not a single hint of impatience on Shao Mingyi. Instead, he kept an elegant smile on his handsome face the entire time.

Fang Ziqian's eyes glittered furiously.

She posted the edited pictures to her online social group and captioned the pictures—”Today is truly the luckiest day of my life! I actually met my prince charming! Oh, G.o.d, my dear prince is just so gorgeous! My heart is melting away!”

She also added a few heart emoticons at the end of her post.

Barely a few seconds after she tapped on 'send', her cell phone suddenly rang.

Fang Ziqian picked it up and Bai s.h.i.+xun's furious voice came bursting through the phone.

“Fang Ziqian! Didn't you tell me that you went on a vacation overseas because you needed to take a break from being too stressed at work? So, what the h*ll are you doing right now? How are you still chasing after celebrities at your age? Don't you know that the work in the office is piling up like mountains and it's getting impossible to handle it?

“Get your *ss back to the office now! I want you back here in half an hour!”

Bai s.h.i.+xun!

Oh, c.r.a.p! Fang Ziqian forgot to block the man from viewing her post before sending out those photos!

Fang Ziqian's mood instantly hit rock bottom.

Her face darkened. “Boss, if I remember correctly, I'm still on my annual leave. According to labour law, it is my right and benefit as an employee to enjoy my annual leave! Also, I'm free to decide whatever I want to do on my leave, and I have no obligation to report it to you.”
