Chapter 78: Chapter 0078: Even if You’re Cursing Inside, Keep a Smile on Your Face
Seeing him just staring blankly at her, Mu Lan soon lost her patience.
“What exactly do you want to say?”
In the end, he still couldn’t speak, and even secretly made a decision.
“Nothing.”
Mu Lan sighed.
“Are you trying to suffocate ? It’s really uncomfortable when you stop halfway through. Forget it, don’t say it anymore, I don’t even want to hear it.”
...
Her temper was quick to flare, and Huo Tingxiao remained silent, taking out his cellphone. Soon, he received an email from Yunzhan containing comprehensive information about the people who chased him on that day.
But the people behind the scenes just couldn’t pry their mouths open; they all uniformly claid ignorance.
The incident was really too bizarre, bizarre to the extent that he was completely clueless. Huo Tingyang didn’t have the guts for this, and the Xie Family wasn’t in Sea City; they had gone to Shen City, which was Yunzhan’s territory, and hadn’t made any excessive moves.
Then who else could it be?
Suddenly, a na flashed through his mind — Lin Yize!
His gaze shifted to Mu Lan, noticing her propped arm against the car door as she intently looked out the window, her beautiful and perfect profile.
If it was for her, this reason could make sense.
But why choose the mont when two people were together to strike? It seed illogical.
The car suddenly stopped in front of the hotel. Mu Lan carefully straightened her clothes and said goodbye to Huo Tingxiao before getting out of the car.
After glancing at Yun Xi beside her, Huo Tingxiao cautioned:
“Take good care of her.”
Yun Xi nodded.
“Yes, Mr. Huo.”
Not another word was wasted.
Mu Lan looked at Huo Tingxiao, wondering if he ant for her to go by herself.
“Are you going to the company?”
“To find Azhan.”
“Oh, then I’ll call you after I finish up here.”
“Okay.”
She turned and went with Yun Xi to Vincent’s suite, where Vincent was engrossed in symphonic music.
“Oh, Tracy, I’m so glad to see you again.”
Vincent’s attempt at speaking Chinese was so adorable that Mu Lan almost couldn’t keep a straight face.
“You should speak in French.”
“Oh, do you think my Chinese is not good?”
Mu Lan quickly shook her head in panic.
“No, Vincent, that’s not what I ant. I just thought it would be more comfortable for you to communicate that way. If I’ve offended you, I sincerely apologize.”
Seeing her nervous expression, Vincent laughed heartily.
“Hahaha, I’m just joking. Don’t be nervous, relax.”
The two of them then chatted leisurely in French, mostly just exchanging pleasantries. Vincent didn’t talk much about his professional life, but Mu Lan listened eagerly.
The master’s composure and his approach to life were greatly enlightening to Mu Lan.
“By the way, do you rember the contestant with the sa na I told you about last ti?”
Mu Lan nodded.
“Rember, what about her?”
“Our organizing committee can’t reach her. We’ve sent many emails, and overseas calls won’t go through. Now the committee is suggesting disqualifying her.”
“But when they asked , I decided not to disqualify her.”
Unexpectedly there were such twists, Mu Lan felt an indescribable feeling inside, wondering what was going on with this contestant. If it were her, she would have made sure all her contact details were in order.
To waste such a great opportunity.
“So, are you planning to let her advance to the next stage?”
Vincent nodded his head.
“Of course, this contestant is one that I have my eye on as a hot favorite to win the championship. If possible, I even hope she could beco my student.
If it weren’t for the fact that the entries are still confidential at this stage, I would really like to share her work with you.”
Listening to her idol praising soone else right in front of her, Mu Lan felt envious and jealous but not hateful.
Alas, if only she had such talent as well.
“What if other people don’t agree with your opinion…”
Vincent snorted.
“I’ll just quit the jury and give up being the chairperson of the jury this year.”
Mu Lan widened her eyes. Was it necessary to go to such lengths?
It really piqued her curiosity, wondering who this exceptional person could be.
The godfather of the fashion industry himself was going to such lengths for a contestant.
“It seems you truly value the talents of the contestants.”
Vincent couldn’t help but sigh every ti he thought about being unable to contact soone.
“What’s the use of appreciation when, for so reason, she suddenly lost contact?
Her work had such vitality, and originally I always thought design was all about Europe and Arica. I admit I was biased.
However, in recent years, I must admit that your country is developing at a fast pace, not only with a deep cultural heritage but also a spirit of learning and breakthrough.”
Mu Lan nodded, feeling deeply the sa.
These days she was adapting to life after a seven-year blank, which had completely exceeded her expectations, especially in terms of technology; she never expected her holand to beco a leading enterprise.
“Initially, I kept wondering if I still had the courage to pursue my dreams, but after talking so much with you today, I really feel suddenly enlightened.”
Vincent also felt like he had found a kindred spirit. Mu Lan looked like a young girl but was very cultured, and he found chatting with her very comfortable.
“If you don’t mind, would you like to join for lunch?”
Mu Lan was pleasantly surprised.
“Is that okay? Wouldn’t it too much encroach on your personal ti?”
Vincent blinked charmingly.
“It’s my honor to dine with a beautiful lady.”
In the restaurant, they found an excellent spot, and Mu Lan was imrsed in the delightful atmosphere of dining alone with her idol. Unexpectedly, an unwelco visitor showed up.
“What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Sheng Xueqin, dressed in a baby-blue professional suit from a dostic independent designer and walking in high heels, approached. Her short hair was stylishly tucked behind one ear.
The Chanel logo earrings added an extra touch of femininity to her efficient look.
Vincent looked at the two of them, surprised.
“You know each other?”
Mu Lan hesitated for a mont. Did this an that Vincent and Sheng Xueqin also…
Sheng Xueqin glanced at Mu Lan and sat down next to her, making herself quite at ho.
“Vincent is unaware, but we are quite familiar with each other, aren’t we, Miss Mu?”
Despite having her idol present, Mu Lan had to keep a smiling face even though she felt annoyed inside.
“Miss Sheng is right, quite familiar.”
“Indeed, beauties tend to befriend other beauties. It’s all my fault, I completely lost track of ti chatting with Tracy. If you don’t mind, join us for lunch?”
Mu Lan really wanted to scream. She minded very much, seeing Sheng Xueqin’s lotus-like face upset her digestion.
But, she was bound to be very socially appropriate if she spoke.
“Of course, I don’t mind.”
Sheng Xueqin’s mood wasn’t any better, but she was more skilled at masking it.
Who would have thought, Mu Lan had connections with Vincent.
Could it be that Huo Tingxiao was also interested in departnt stores and planning to cooperate with IT companies?
Every ti she thought of Huo Tingxiao unhesitatingly kicking her out of the company for Mu Lan, she was filled with rage.
