Chapter 764: They Can't Eat Me, What Are You Worried About?

Qin Xiaolan racked her brain and finally thought of a few things.

“He said he loved it when my hair was waist-length. Oh, and he praised me for being so frugal, for not spending money carelessly even though my family is well-off. And for having wealthy relatives but always relying on my own hard work to get by.”

Qin Jiao said, “Objectively speaking, Gao Yuan does have good taste. How about this, Xiao Lan? For the next little while, I want you to go live it up. First, get a perm. Then go on a massive shopping spree. And since you’ve already taken time off, take our uncle and aunt to the coast. The weather by the sea in the South is perfect this time of year.”

Qin Xiaolan was stunned.

‘But… the idea wasn’t half bad, was it?’

She silently did the math, wondering if her savings were enough for such a splurge.

But Qin Jiao waited until she finished eating, then took her straight to the bank and transferred twenty thousand to her account.

Qin Xiaolan was shocked. “Sis, why are you giving me so much money!”

“Go have some fun and relax. Think of it as a vacation for yourself. A problem that can be solved with money is no problem at all.”

Qin Xiaolan was in awe of how loaded her big sister was.

She said, “Big sis, once I’m making good money again, I’ll pay you back.”

“We can talk about that later. For now, I just want you to be healthy and happy.”

Qin Xiaolan’s eyes reddened again.

This time, however, it was because she was moved.

Just as things with Xiao Lan were settling down, the day of the clothing trade show arrived.

Shen Yi had intentionally cleared his schedule for the day, leaving the company in the hands of his staff. He changed into a sharp, handsome suit to accompany Qin Jiao.

Qin Jiao said, half amused and half exasperated, “Why are you so geared up for a fight? It’s not like they’re going to eat me alive.”

Shen Yi replied, “We can’t be outdone, not in appearance and not in force. Let’s give it our all. If we sign a ton of deals this time, we’ll really rub it in their faces.”

Su Zeyuan and Su Yuxi might be clever, and Su Yuxi even had a certain precognitive advantage, but Qin Jiao and Shen Yi were no pushovers.

‘Since we’re destined to be rivals, then this time, let’s make sure they have no chance of making a comeback.’

Qin Jiao wore a red dress. She only had on light makeup, but her beauty was so striking it was almost aggressive.

Meanwhile, Shen Yi, dressed in a dark gray suit, looked exceptionally distinguished and had a commanding presence.

Many of Du Liya and Beidou’s acquaintances were also attending the event. On top of that, Jiu Yi was already a famous name in North City’s fashion scene.

The moment Qin Jiao and Shen Yi appeared, people started coming over, glasses in hand, to speak with them.

In contrast, over at the Jinyi booth—despite all their pre-event hype and expensive promotions—there were only a few people, and even those looked like they had been specifically hired to be there.

Su Yuxi watched them with a cold expression. “Let Qin Jiao have her moment,” she said.

Su Zeyuan asked her, “Are all those celebrities able to make it today? Are you on good terms with them?”

“We’re on decent terms, but they’re on much better terms with money.”

As long as the price was right, there was no need to worry about them not showing up. When they did, Jinyi would undoubtedly become the center of attention at this event!

And sure enough, just a few moments later, the reporters and media members at the scene erupted with excitement. Several cars had pulled up outside, and a number of major celebrities were stepping out!

“Hey, isn’t that the actress who played the princess in that show that just finished airing?”

“I can’t believe I’m seeing my idol in person!”

Then, when the crowd learned that all these celebrities had been invited by Jinyi, they were stunned.

Qin Jiao watched the incredibly smug Su Yuxi. She nonchalantly swirled the wine in her glass and said to Shen Yi, “I’m suddenly a little curious about what Lin Nian used to do for a living.”

“Hm?”
