Chapter 166: Who’s the Boss Here?
Bai Shixun was rendered speechless by her words and became so angry that he gritted his teeth.
“Fang Ziqian, seems like you’ve grown wings, and you’ve forgotten who your boss is! Whatever, you get back here right now, or else… I’ll fire you!”
Second Young Master Bai unleashed his ultimatum, but Fang Ziqian remained completely unshaken.
She snorted coldly. “Boss, allow me to remind you. The Old Master was the one who specially hired me into the company, so you don’t have the right to do so! Enough of this, I’m going back to enjoy my annual leave. I wish you all the best on working overtime, boss!”
Bai Shixun almost spurted blood from anger. Then, he heard long beeping noises coming from the phone before he could retort.
!!
‘That woman actually hung up on me!’
She actually dared to hang up on him!
What the h*ll, who was the boss here?
“Just you wait, I’ll have you chased out of the company sooner or later! When that happens, it’ll be useless for you to cry and beg me to hire you back!” Bai Shixun swore to himself firmly.
After that, he raised his head and stared at the mountain of doc.u.ments in front of him. The corners of his mouth twitched.
He whipped out his cell phone again and opened WeChat Moments.
Unfortunately for him, Fang Ziqian’s recent post did not include a location, so Bai Shixun could not find her even if he wanted to.
As for the pictures she posted, they somehow made him feel uncomfortable no matter how he looked at them.
“Has this woman never seen a guy before? What exactly is so good looking about a small time celebrity like him? She’s even calling him her prince charming! What’s more, why do they have to stick so close to each other to take pictures? They might as well be putting their faces together! Such weird tastes and a bad working att.i.tude. She’s a complete disgrace to our corporate image!”
…
SL Corporation.
Fang Ziqian fiercely sneezed as soon as she hung up.
Luo Chenxi turned to look at her. “Little Qianqian, are you alright?”
Fang Ziqian shook her head. “I’m fine. I might have caught a cold. Alright, let’s hurry up and begin the rehearsal, I can’t wait to walk on the runway with my prince charming!”
The rehearsals went very smoothly.
Years back, Fang Ziqian worked extremely hard and put in a lot of effort into practicing her runway walk in order to become a model. Her professionalism could rival or even surpa.s.s some of the currently popular supermodels.
On the other hand, Shao Mingyi fell a little short behind, but his figure brought out the best in any clothes he wore and he also had an aura of n.o.bility around him. Hence, most would easily overlook his slight runway flaws.
Moreover, the two of them seemed to work unexpectedly well together as a team.
“This is amazing! Things are looking almost perfect just from the runway alone. However, I think a little more interaction between the two of you could really enhance the final effects. Do you want to give it a try?”
Luo Chenxi raised her opinion after watching the two from the side.
Fang Ziqian briefly paused. “How should we do it?”
“Um… we can add a plot to the walk, and perhaps you can try to act it out based on your roles. The theme of my design is ‘elegance’, so you can try immersing yourself into certain characters. For instance, Young Master Shao is a young master from a prestigious family, while you are the daughter of a n.o.ble family. It was love at first sight between the two of you at a dance party… and Young Master Shao took the initiative to ask you for a dance.
“Of course, an actual dance will be unrealistic since we are heavily limited on the time we have on the runway, but when the two of you walk into the set position, you can act out a scene where the guy invites the girl for a dance…”
A flurry of ideas surged through Luo Chenxi’s mind, her eyes lit up as she explained her thoughts to Fang Ziqian and Shao Mingyi.
Sheng Yu walked in right when Luo Chenxi was doing so, he could not help but raise his eyebrows in surprise as he heard her words.
Who would have thought that Xing Chen had long broken through the boundaries of mere fashion design and started paying attention to a model’s runway performance effects.
How surprising for her to possess such talent!
For a designer, being able to design beautiful and spiritual clothes was just a beginning. The bigger challenge that lay beyond was to make them stand out and express the best of the designs to the audience.
Every fashion show, as well as the runway walk, was an all-round test that required a designer’s careful consideration and preparation.
A designer who limited himself to only designing would never make it far in the industry.
From this standpoint alone, Luo Chenxi had far surpa.s.sed many other partic.i.p.ants.
…
As the finals got closer and closer, Luo Chenxi started making frequent trips to the SL Corporation everyday.
In turn, she returned home later and later by the day.
Today, she left SL Corporation at midnight. As she reached the exit, she realized it was raining cats and dogs outside of the building.
She frowned slightly as she recalled that the driver, Old Liu was on leave today, so he could not come to pick her up.
“Looks like I’ll have to take a taxi back, but I’m not sure if I can manage to do so at this hour and under this downpour.”
Just then, a Porsche stopped in front of her.
Sheng Yu rolled down the window. “Tsk, tsk, cutiepie, are you stuck in the company without a way back? Hop in, I’ll give you a ride!”
