Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xu Yini herself was surprised.
“Edmond, I thought that the announcent for the selected candidate would be announced later?”
?
She had co to Aqua Front extra early, yet Edmond found her arrival surprising.
Edmond clapped his hands in realization.
“Ah?! Did I forget to tell you? The decision has already been made.”
Xu Yini’s heart sank and her smile beca awkward.
“Huh?”
Edmond shrugged helplessly.
“We selected Ms. Tang Wei for the position. I’m sorry, Ms. Xu.”
The smile on Xu Yini’s face froze.
i Li was shocked as well.
“But… Mr. Edmond, I thought you preferred Yini for the role?”
If Xu Yini was not the chosen one, then why had Edmond been so enthusiastic in their previous etings?
Had it all been an act? However, he did not look like a deceitful person at all.
If G&S had already decided on the final candidate, why had they spent so much ti on Xu Yini in the first place?
“Actually, we initially preferred Ms. Yini. She stood out among all the other contestants during the first voting. However, during the second voting, we realized that Ms. Yini would not be suitable for our upcoming the, so—”
Xu Yini found it ridiculous.
“Edmond, I rember that you told that the the for the upcoming show had already been decided a long ti ago.”
If Xu Yini did not fit the the, she should have been notified or realized that sothing was not right. Why had they waited until the second voting?
There were three more days till the official press conference.
Confused, Edmond blinked helplessly.
“Ms. Yini, I think there’s sothing that you missed. This press conference is not just an announcent for the autumn and winter show. It is also to announce the winner of the G&S international design competition.
The winning designer has already signed a contract with us and we have already received the design drafts. We plan to use the designs to launch a series of new collections from this year onwards. It will last for a year or so, and we will be heavily investing in the debut in the Chinese market.
The model for the opening show will also be the first brand ambassador for our company in the Chinese market.
Unfortunately, after so serious consideration, we all agreed that Ms. Yini’s image isn’t the right fit for the the.”
The first design draft of the winning designer had high compatibility. Back then, several celebrities and models had fit the design well.
On top of that, Edmond had favored Xu Yini, hence the early bias.
However, after G&S received the remaining design drafts, they realized the first one had just been the start of many.
The winning designer had participated in the competition with only the first piece of the draft. It was already an astonishing work, but it was just a small part of a bigger puzzle. The puzzle would only be completed with all the pieces.
The uniqueness of the design was rare and it astonished everyone from the internal managent.
They hoped to bring the beauty of the designs to life and were aware that they needed to be ticulous with every detail.
It was for that reason that they had to reevaluate their candidates because the brand ambassador would be the face of their future collection.
After so serious consideration, they had decided that Tang Wei was the one that matched the the perfectly.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Yini.”
Personally, Edmond preferred Xu Yini, but he understood the priorities and responsibilities of his position. His preference was insignificant compared to the overall decision of the whole of G&S.
Since Edmond had already made it clear, Xu Yini knew she had lost her chance.
She took a deep breath and swiftly adjusted the look on her face. She curved her lips into a smile.
“It’s okay, I understand. The designs co first, right? Besides, I’m sure we will have a chance to work together in the future, right?”
Edmond opened his arms and hugged the girl.
“Oh, of course! I personally hope that we can work with you in the future. Your beauty should be displayed on the center stage.”
Xu Yini was not particularly happy about the praise.
It was just common flattery. It did not make up for the brand ambassador title that she had just lost.
It was safe to say that G&S would not be having another similar position or collaboration in the foreseeable future.
Xu Yini left.
…
In the car, Xu Yini looked gloomy.
Ever since her debut, she had never run into any problems before. She had always had a countless number of invites lined up for her attention.
It was the first ti that she had put in so much effort into a role just to find out that her efforts still fell short in the end.
Aside from the defeat, she also felt embarrassed.
There had been rumors in her circle saying that she would get the final offer and she had believed it.
With everything down the drain, how would people look at her now?
Qinqin, her assistant, sat beside her quietly.
It was i Li who broke the ice.
“Yini, it’s just a brand ambassador position. Besides, you are at the peak of your career. There are many other endorsents we can get for you. This is just one of many. There might be a better offer waiting for you in the future.”
Xi Yini scoffed.
i Li’s words were ant for a rookie in the industry. It was not Xi Yini’s first day in showbiz. She was no longer the ignorant girl that she once was.
“It seems like G&S thought highly of that winning designer. They’ve even decided to use the designs to debut in the Chinese market. i, do you have any information on that designer?” Xu Yini asked.
i Li shook her head. “G&S kept it confidential. Till now, no one knows anything about this mysterious designer. I think we will just have to wait for the press conference.”
“Fine. Maybe we will et the designer then,” Xu Yini said after so thought.
…
Two days flew by in the blink of an eye.
The last paper of the midterm, English, was finally over.
Ning Li started to pack her things as the other students in the class compared answers with one another.
“Hey, what did you guys write on the 5th question?”
“A?”
“ too.
“I chose C!”
“Pei Song, what about you?!”
Pei Song answered without even looking, “B”
“NOOOO!”
“I’m finished!”
“ too!”
“Wait, I have to ask Ning Li! Ning Li, what answer did you choose?”
Ning Li zipped her bag and stood up. “B.”
The others cried in grief.
They were okay with one genius choosing B but two geniuses that chose the sa answer? It was almost certain that the correct answer for that question was B.
“Ah! Whatever! It’s over anyway! It’s a holiday tomorrow, let’s just enjoy it first!”
“I’ve invited Duan Xu and his guys for a basketball match. Wanna co?”
“ too!”
“Brother Pei, are you coming?”
The school gave the students a short break after the final paper and the teachers were quite lenient to the students during this grace period. The students even got access to the basketball court and fields.
He Xiaochen ca over.
“Ning Li, they are going to the basketball court. Are you going to watch?”
Ning Li looked at the ti.
“I’m on janitor duty today, I’ll pass.”
She was not interested in watching boys run around with a ball.
He Xiaochen put her hands together and begged. “Co on! You don’t always get chances like this! No matter how hard you study, you still have to relax at tis!”
“You go ahead then, I’ll drop by after I have finished with my janitor duty.”
He Xiaochen nodded vigorously.
“I’ll wait for you at the basketball court!”
Pei Song zipped up his jersey and nodded at the boys.
“Let’s go.”
