Chapter 759: Is Her Success so Hard for You to Swallow?
“Hey, Sir Jue. What’s up?”
“Hurry up and work on a dress for me. The dress will be worn during an award ceremony. Mail it to me by air before Friday,” Long Sijue said.
“It’s already Monday today. You want me to design it, produce it, and mail it to you by air all before Friday…” Luther really found that Long Sijue was a bully.
“Hm,” Long Sijue hummed in acknowledgment without bothering to be polite.
“It’s for that young woman again, isn’t it? I really wonder what kind of woman has captured the heart of Sir Jue, to the point that he would purchase custom-made dresses for her. Can you send me a photograph of her?” Luther was really curious about Su Qianxun.
“Do you want me to send some men over to dismantle your castle?”
Luther was rendered speechless.
‘What a tyrant!’
“Have you considered the matter regarding the necktie? I really like it. Perhaps you can allow me to reproduce two or three of them?”
Luther could not forget the sight of Long Sijue’s necktie ever since he saw it, but this man refused to sell the design to him no matter what. So, he tried designing a necktie with another species of flower, and the effect was pretty good. Now, he had launched a series of neckties with flowers. But he still felt that there was something lacking to those neckties compared with the one Long Sijue owned.
“Don’t even think about it! If I see the same necktie in the market, I’ll ruin your entire family!”
Luther was rendered speechless again.
‘Isn’t he being a little too mean?!’
After Long Sijue hung up the phone, he saw that the two men before him were staring at him. He furrowed his eyebrows a little and said, “Let’s carry on.”
At night, Su Qianxun and Long Sijue were the only ones having dinner. They sat in their seats and said nothing as they ate.
Long Sijue ate very slowly, but Su Qianxun ate very quickly. Right then, the young woman was no longer as excited as when she first got the news that the advertis.e.m.e.nt was nominated for an award in the morning.
After Su Qianxun was done eating, she said, “I’m full. I’ll go back to my room first. Take your time.”
The young woman rose and left the dining hall after she finished eating. Long Sijue’s hand froze in the air as he fixed his gaze on her back. He felt a sense of suffocation in his chest.
…..
In the Qiao family mansion.
When Qiao Yiren heard that the advertis.e.m.e.nt Su Qianxun starred in had been nominated for an award, she became so furious that she threw everything in her room onto the floor. When Xia Chuxi entered the room and saw that the floor was full of shattered gla.s.s and items, he was a little stunned.
“Yiren, what are you doing?”
“Xia Chuxi, you came back at the right time. Let me ask you, do you know that the advertis.e.m.e.nt Su Qianxun starred in has been nominated for an award?” Qiao Yiren inquired as she raised the list of nominations.
“I’ve seen the list. What’s the problem?” Xia Chuxi furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the emotional woman before him.
“What’s the problem? How dare you ask me that? Su Qianxun might win an award! What right does she have to win an award?” Qiao Yiren was so angry that she was shaking.
“Wasn’t the advertis.e.m.e.nt filmed together with Rong Yebai? It’s also a short film, and Director Liu submitted it for the compet.i.tion. With Rong Yebai’s popularity, isn’t it normal for the short film to get nominated?” Xia Chuxi explained.
“It’s not normal! What does Su Qianxun know about acting? Go and talk to the committee members now and ask them to take this advertis.e.m.e.nt off the list!” Qiao Yiren smooshed the name list angrily onto Xia Chuxi’s body.
“The judges were the ones who chose this advertis.e.m.e.nt. It’s not something I have a say in.”
“How do you not have a say? Aren’t you the one who made it possible for me to get nominated and win an award? Go and do it now! Take the advertis.e.m.e.nt off the list!” Qiao Yiren stomped her feet on the ground. She was having a mental breakdown.
“I’ve spent a lot of money so that you could get nominated and win an award. Do you know how risky that is? And I can’t stop other people from getting nominated. You… Is her success so hard for you to swallow? Were you acting when you often took her side and spoke out for her in the past?” Xia Chuxi looked at Qiao Yiren with a complicated gaze.
