"Even if I had money, I wouldn’t give it to you willingly," the man said. "If your brother really cared about you, he wouldn’t let you suffer so much."
"Is there any way to bypass him, but still use his money?" Yu Wei wondered.
"There are ways..."
Tang Ze never expected that while he was idly picking at his feet at ho, soone was eyeing his money.
...
Unlike Tang Ze’s silence, Cao Yixuan had been very active recently.
With Peak’s strong support and her own hard work and diligence, she managed to handle many fashion show tasks on her own even without Sun Ling negotiating too many resources for her.
Her sincerity and seriousness had moved her past contacts, who were now gradually reconnecting with her; recently, she even received an invitation to a major international fashion show.
Because Cao Yixuan was gradually becoming more dazzling, her suitors had also increased, the most prominent among them being the scion of a luxury car brand. She didn’t know how he had obtained Cao Yixuan’s contact details, but he had already sent her several bouquets of flowers.
Sun Ling knew that Cao Yixuan was in demand, but still couldn’t help but caution her during work, "Even if you have no interest in Ze, don’t rush into a relationship. True love is rare in this circle. Most female stars gamble with their careers and end up with nothing. I don’t want your journey of rebirth to hastily end with marriage and children."
"Don’t worry," Cao Yixuan reassured Sun Ling. "I’ve said it before, I want to stand on the world’s most dazzling T-stage for myself and to fulfill my promise to An Lan."
"But honestly, among your suitors, that luxury car heir isn’t bad," Sun Ling couldn’t help but remark. In this regard, she couldn’t view Tang Ze with tinted glasses, because he simply wasn’t the best partner candidate.
"I know what I’m doing," Cao Yixuan said, not wanting to delve into her personal matters.
Right now, she just wanted to work.
Seeing that Cao Yixuan was really behaving well, Sun Ling felt reassured: "You can choose an assistant to run around with you, or let the company assign one. What’s your preference?"
"Let the company decide, I’m not good at choosing people," Cao Yixuan said.
"Then after we finish discussing this fashion show, I’ll go back and arrange that."
Although Doctor Sun felt sorry for Tang Ze, from a girl’s point of view, Tang Ze really didn’t match up to Cao Yixuan, and his sister was quite problematic too. He didn’t know whether Tang Ze had properly handled Yu Wei’s matter during his long stay at ho.
However, a major dostic show that had seed almost certain did not pass Cao Yixuan’s audition, deeming her to have "taint."
Doctor Sun was extrely angry, but ended up needing Cao Yixuan to comfort her.
"Every brand has its own standards for hiring, Sun Ling, you really shouldn’t be too upset,"
"But this show was very important for you, it could have rapidly opened up channels of reputation for you in the industry."
"What’s ant to be will always find a way," Cao Yixuan shook her head, unconvinced, then got onto the nanny van with a peaceful mindset.
Thinking it over, Sun Ling felt that if a bigwig were involved, the outco would definitely have been different.
The two returned to the company disheartened. Shi Lan was preparing to et with Deng Cong, so she wasn’t at Peak. After thinking it over, Sun Ling dialed Tang Ze’s mobile: "Ze, I’m feeling down."
"Is that sothing a girl should say?" Tang Ze frowned.
"Today Cao Yixuan and I went to negotiate resources, but we couldn’t clinch it," Sun Ling said irritably. "It’s been a long ti since we’ve encountered such a tough brand. Looks like we’ll have to seek help from a bigwig tomorrow."
"Fang Mu."
Having heard those two words, Tang Ze seed to rember sothing, as if he had done a background check before. The owner of the brand was a person from the southwest, who enjoyed drinking and playing cards. Though sowhat lazy, he had his own distinctive style.
"No need to find the boss. Let handle this matter first, and don’t tell Cao Yixuan about it," Tang Ze said over the phone. "It’s indeed a disadvantage for a woman to face such a brand. I don’t bla you."
"Ultimately, it’s because of my lack of experience," Sun Ling sounded sowhat dejected, "but that’s okay, I’ll see how you handle it."
The primary reason Tang Ze wanted to take on this porcelain job was that he knew the importance of the upcoming fashion show for Cao Yixuan.
Normally, aside from matters concerning movies, everything else was not his responsibility. However, thinking of Cao Yixuan’s troubles, he couldn’t help but want to solve this difficult problem for her. There was no need for everyone to suffer when soone could enjoy the sweetness.
...
That night, President Fang Mu, Liang Huiyin, received a call from his secretary, arranging a eting with Tang Ze, the vice president of Peak.
Without a second thought, President Liang initially declined, but the secretary reiterated that the eting was at a mahjong parlor on Xilly Road.
President Liang, tall and thin with pale, cold skin and a small dimple on his left cheek, chuckled at the ntion of "mahjong parlor," saying, "That’s sowhat interesting. Tell him I’ll co by later."
Playing mahjong required both enthusiasm and like-mindedness. Even if Tang Ze was the one who called for the eting, and it was just the two of them, who else would join the table?
The reason President Liang found it interesting was that he wanted to know what arrangents Tang Ze had in mind.
Southerners, skilled in conversation and adept at handling affairs, excel in interpersonal relationships, so the types of friends they make also need to handle matters above board beautifully.
...
At eight in the evening, Liang Huiyin arrived at the mahjong parlor as agreed.
In the antique tea house, Liang Huiyin saw Tang Ze, dressed for the occasion.
"The people from Peak co and go, always bringing sothing new." After Liang Huiyin took his seat, he started to laugh.
"Thank you for coming, President Liang," Tang Ze smiled. "We have two other guests, so please wait a mont."
Liang Huiyin raised an eyebrow, sensing that tonight’s guests would be no ordinary ones. However, when they arrived, he felt hugely disappointed.
The two others who joined the table were of different heights and builds; one tall, one short, one fat, and one thin. Tang Ze rely introduced them by na before initiating the evening’s entertainnt.
Moreover, President Liang noticed that Tang Ze was deliberately feeding the two players cards.
Although Liang Huiyin was disappointed, he was a good sport, and since everyone was eloquent and companionable, the night turned out to be extrely enjoyable. Unconsciously, they played until four in the morning.
Afterward, Tang Ze arranged breakfast and so rest for everyone, which was very considerate.
Only the next morning, after sending off the two guests, did Liang Huiyin ask Tang Ze, "Can Vice President Tang clarify things now?"
Tang Ze passed the tea and sat down opposite Liang Huiyin before explaining, "I see that President Liang ca north not for the big show but for the land in the eastern city. I heard that recently there has been quite the scramble there."
Liang Huiyin was taken aback, not anticipating this level of preparation from the other side.
"Those two help you in this regard. By not introducing their identities, we avoid formalities. Isn’t it nice to just play so mahjong and have fun?"
Seeing Tang Ze’s confident gaze, Liang Huiyin was persuaded, nodded and said, "It’s just a matter of a model, right? It’s easy."
