Chapter 436: Omnipotent Chu Ling
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Grandpa Qin didn’t expect Amba.s.sador Gao to reject him so straightforwardly, nor did he expect that he made his superiors as the excuse, but then he thought as his old friend, Amba.s.sador Gao wouldn’t cheat him. He took a sip of the tea and put down the tea cup. Amba.s.sador Gao looked at him and asked, “How do you like it? The taste is not good?”
“Well.” Grandpa Qin stood up and took a breath. “It’s a good tea, but I’m not in the mood to enjoy it. I’m still worried about my granddaughter. At least I have to get her out of the police station.”
Amba.s.sador Gao nodded. “I understand you. Now the most important thing for you is to save your granddaughter. I won’t keep you then. ” Amba.s.sador Gao stood up and saw Grandpa Qin out. He said meaningfully, “Qin, it’s better for the doer to undo what he has done. Your granddaughter messed with the wrong people this time. You know the status of the Empire Group in the capital. Grandpa Tang, a famous philanthropist, is the friend of many big shots. It won’t be hard for him to punish someone who a.s.saulted his granddaughter.”
Grandpa Qin looked at Amba.s.sador Gao and the latter shook his head, saying, “I’m sorry, but this time I can’t help you.”
“You don’t have to say sorry. I’m grateful that you agreed to see me. Gao, thank you for telling me this information.” Grandpa Qin patted his shoulder and walked towards the stairs.
Amba.s.sador Gao saw Grandpa Qin out and turned to enter his office. He then took out his cell phone to make an appointment with the hospital for his wife.
Grandpa Qin walked down the stairs and his a.s.sistant came up to him and supported him, asking, “Master, how did it go? Amba.s.sador Gao…”
Grandpa Qin snorted and coldly said, “Friends.h.i.+p is nothing in front of benefits. Let’s go!”
His a.s.sistant touched his nose. He had known that Master would be rejected and now it seemed that his guess was right. If even Amba.s.sador Gao rejected them… who else they could turn to for help… He asked, “Master, where should we go now?”
“Go back to the hotel. Contact the Tang family.”
Grandpa Qin’s face was all dark and he couldn’t help complaining about Qin Xinying in his heart. He had been opposing Qin Xinying to make friends with Tang Xi. He didn’t want her to meet the Tang family people, but she insisted on making friends with Tang Xi, saying that it would only benefit instead of hurting the Qin Family. Tang Xi did bring about a lot of business opportunities for their family, and their company boomed because of Qin Xinying’s friends.h.i.+p with Tang Xi, but… now…
As soon as Grandpa Qin got into the car, Qin Benyuan called him. Grandpa Qin looked at the caller ID and frowned. It had been quite a while before he picked up the call. “What’s up?!”
“Dad, how is Xinying? Is she alright? And how about Tang Xi? Has she agreed to compromise?” Qin Benyuan asked anxiously.
“Why are you asking me these questions? You and your daughter just do whatever you want, okay?! You’d better pray that the Qin’s Group won’t be affected this time. Otherwise, you’ll be fired!”
Grandpa Qin said and hung up on him.
Hearing this, His a.s.sistant pretended to concentrate on driving and dared not say anything.
…
Qiao Liang and Tang Xi went to the show field that had been laid out. Tang Xi looked at the runway and spectators stand that were made of gla.s.s, raised her eyebrows and turned her eyes to Qiao Liang. “Is this Chu Ling’s idea?”
Qiao Liang nodded. “Yes, the light beams will be shot from the water at the show. Now they are installing the lights. We’ll be able to see the effects tomorrow.”
“Really?” Tang Xi asked in excitement, “Let’s go to see the show field. It will be a great experience to watch a fas.h.i.+on show on a lake.”
Gazing at Tang Xi who ran to the show field, Qiao Liang smiled. “No hurry.”
Tang Xi said, “Okay,” and went around to the other side. She stepped onto the gla.s.s steps and felt a bit scared. Then she looked back at Qiao Liang. “I feel as if I’m treading on water!”
Qiao Liang walked up to her and rubbed at her hair. “How do you like this?”
Tang Xi reached out to knock on the gla.s.s, asking, “How thick is the gla.s.s?”
“This is a bullet-proof gla.s.s that Long Xiao Group newly developed. It won’t break even if a truck weighing over a hundred tons drove over it. Even a bomb can’t crack it.” Qiao Liang stood up and looked at the U-shaped runway. “We haven’t launched the gla.s.s to the market, because we want to keep it for our own use.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, asking, “Why?”
“Because it will be troublesome for us if it’s launched to the market. This gla.s.s is lent to you for a few days, and you’ll have to return it to us after the show.” Qiao Liang took a look at Tang Xi with a smile.
Tang Xi found that there wasn’t any reinforcement bar supporting the stage under but only transparent columns in the water. Tang Xi squatted down to check the columns and exclaimed, “Are these columns made of gla.s.s too?”
“These are transparent reinforcement bars, not gla.s.s. Chu Ling got them here. They are better than common reinforcement bars. Don’t worry. Chu Ling never let me down. He used this special kind of reinforcement bars to present impressive stage effects. This kind of reinforcement bars are very rare and can hardly be found in the market.”
“Where did Chu Ling find them?” Tang Xi stood up. She had to admire Chu Ling’s ability. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have been able to attend the fas.h.i.+on week, let alone to lay out the stage so gorgeously.
“Omnipotent.” Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and said, “I’ve realised Chu Ling is truly omnipotent.”
Qiao Liang rubbed at her hair. “Let’s go to see the models trying on the clothes?”
“Have the clothes been transported over here from the factory yet?” Tang Xi followed Qiao Liang to walk towards the rooms temporarily built for the models. “How will the backstage be laid out?”
“Leave this matter to Chu Ling. Let’s go see the models trying on the clothes.” Qiao Liang took Tang Xi’s hand and walked towards the other side of the lawn. An able person should do more work. Let Chu Ling worry about this.
When Tang Xi and Qiao Liang arrived, many models had already arrived and were trying on the clothes. To Tang Xi’s surprise, Chu Ling had invited so many famous models to join this show. There were Li Wen, Zhai Xue, Kristen, Daisy and Sherry who were all globally renowned models, and regulars at the shows of major fas.h.i.+on brands…
Tang Xi turned her eyes to a female model who was surrounded by a lot of people. She took a look at Qiao Liang and asked, “Is that Karolina?”
Hadn’t she announced that she had retired long ago? Chu Ling had managed to invite her to join this show?!
