“Words to embellish beauties are always lacking in front of real beauties.” Mr. Lance laughed. “How is it? I’m not exaggerating, right? She’s a rare gem.”
Celine spoke German with a London accent that was very pleasant to the ear. “Very correct. Q, I heard that you’re here for the fas.h.i.+on design compet.i.tion?”
“Yes,” Qiao Weiyang replied generously.
“This is really a blessing for the fas.h.i.+on industry and a pity for the jewelry industry. Come and sit with me for a while.”
Qiao Weiyang and Celine sat down together in a quiet place.
Celine took out a packet of ladies’ cigarettes and handed one to Qiao Weiyang. After Qiao Weiyang expressed that she didn’t want to smoke, she took it and held it in her mouth. She didn’t light it out of politeness and just held it in her mouth.
Her actions and demeanor were very elegant. Even if she was casually smoking, she still had an indescribable temperament.
“Q, CL Corporation is currently developing all over the country, but they have yet to develop the market in S Country. Actually, we also intend to enter S Country this time.”
Qiao Weiyang expressed her understanding. “S Country’s consumption ability is very strong now. It’s indeed very suitable for the development of large companies. The development of internationalization has made many large companies constantly open up the global market. If CL really comes to S Country to develop, it can provide many jobs for S Country. It’s a win-win situation.”
“That’s right. I admire your opinion. However, it’s actually not very easy to enter. After all, there are many compet.i.tive jewelry companies that have a considerable market in S Country.”
Qiao Weiyang asked, “I wonder what your opinions are?”
“I heard that S Country is going to hold a film award ceremony. Half of the partic.i.p.ants will be from S Country’s entertainment industry. If CL’s jewelry can be worn by an artiste during this award ceremony, the publicity effect will undoubtedly be huge.”
Qiao Weiyang agreed with Celine’s opinion.
CL Jewelry was a high-end luxury brand. High-end luxury advertis.e.m.e.nts and circulation had always required the support of an A-list celebrity. Only when they were exposed at important occasions could the brand truly enter the eyes of consumers.
Qiao Weiyang also understood what Celine meant. This time, she wanted to sponsor the entire Golden Crown Film Awards to officially enter the market of S Country.
She took a fancy to her and asked for her opinion not only because of her talent in design, but also because of her ident.i.ty as an artiste.
Qiao Weiyang said, “Celine, I don’t know if you’ve heard of this, but I was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Crown Film Awards.”
“Really? Then congratulations!” Celine had indeed just heard about it.
She was not interested in who was nominated. She had indeed found Qiao Weiyang because she hoped to use her connections to enter the S Country market.
Now that she heard this, it was a pleasant surprise.
“That’s why it’s really not convenient for me to show up in your jewelry, Celine.”
Celine knew that Qiao Weiyang was trying to avoid suspicion. Indeed, if she did not do this, it might cause a considerable impact.
She rather admired Qiao Weiyang. If Qiao Weiyang were to express her relations.h.i.+p with CL at the Golden Crown Film Awards, the award would probably be given to her directly. Although many film awards indeed valued acting skills and hoped to give the awards to such artistes, many film awards were indeed poor. Without a considerable amount of sponsors.h.i.+p, they often could not make ends meet. Sometimes, they had to compromise.
This was the rule of survival in the industry and the adult world.
Qiao Weiyang was able to avoid such a big temptation, which made Celine like her.
“But Celine, I know a friend who’s in the jewelry business. She also intends to develop in the foreign market. I believe you’ll have a lot in common,” Qiao Weiyang said with a smile. “Why don’t you contact each other?”
“Oh?”
“His name is Lu Wenhui, and he runs a very large-scale jewelry company.” Qiao Weiyang gave Celine Lu Wenhui’s contact information.
Celine admired this young woman more and more. She knew when to advance and when to retreat. She knew how to avoid suspicion. She was also able to help at critical moments while staying out of it herself. She was unwilling to get any benefits.
No wonder no matter what line of work she was in, she could reach a position that others looked up to.
After getting Lu Wenhui’s contact information, Celine changed the topic and chatted with Qiao Weiyang about Berlin’s customs, tourist attractions, and so on. She was very happy.
When it was almost time, Qiao Weiyang stood up and said goodbye.
“I’ll get the driver to send you off,” Celine said.
“No need, Celine. I have a driver here to send me back.”
“Alright, good night and sweet dreams!” Celine watched Qiao Weiyang leave.
Only then did she light the cigarette in her hand. She took a puff and said to Lance, “Lance, young people these days are really quite impressive.”
“That’s why I’m telling you, knowing Q is a wonderful thing. I’m often amazed by her talent!”
After Qiao Weiyang and Tao Huan returned to the hotel, they went back to their rooms.
Qiao Weiyang was a little tired, but she still called Su Zhuoqian.
“Xiao Bao and Jingyun want to see you.”
Hearing Su Zhuoqian’s words, Qiao Weiyang immediately said, “Then I’ll change to a video call.”
Su Zhuoqian couldn’t help but laugh. “Why didn’t you video call me just now?”
“Mr. Su, your appearance has already been engraved in my heart. I don’t need a video call to remember you.” Qiao Weiyang’s smooth-talking skills were top-notch. As soon as she said this, Su Zhuoqian’s heart was already filled with warmth.
“I’ll connect it to their iPad directly. If the screen is bigger, they can see more clearly.”
After the video call went through, Jingyun’s and Xiao Bao’s faces appeared on the other end.
“Mommy! Can you see me?”
“Mommy, look at me!”
Xiao Bao and Jingyun fought for their mother’s attention, neither of them willing to admit defeat.
“Each of you take three steps back and sit obediently in your chairs. Otherwise, none of you will see me, and I won’t see either of you.”
Xiao Bao and Jingyun immediately went back to their seats and blinked obediently at the screen.
Qiao Weiyang’s expression immediately changed, and her tone also became gentle. “If you’ve been eating obediently, raise your hand.”
Xiao Bao and Jingyun raised their hands at the same time.
“Raise your hand if you’ve been taking your medicine.”
Xiao Bao and Jingyun raised their hands at the same time.
Xiao Bao was still taking medicine to control his emotions and calm himself down.
Jingyun’s medicine was naturally used to treat his foot.
A big smile appeared on Qiao Weiyang’s face, and her beautiful eyes curved slightly. “Raise your hand if you miss Mommy the most.”
She raised her hand herself and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Xiao Bao and Jingyun also laughed.
Su Zhuoqian sat at the side. When he heard her laughter, the corners of his lips maintained a smile.
