Chapter Seventy-Eight Hello, Pretty Girl's Brother

Sheng Jiaoyang turned on her phone and immediately received a call from an unknown number in China.

"Ms. Xu, you finally answered the phone." A young woman's voice came from the other end.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Zhou Xiaozhen, I'm the assistant Mr. Li assigned to you."

Hearing this, Sheng Jiaoyang raised an eyebrow. "And then?"

"Well, Mr. Li said that as your assistant, I should know your whereabouts immediately, so he called to find out. Ms. Xu, did you really go abroad with Lina?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" "

Mr. Li said he wants you to come back..." The voice on the other end was weak and lacked confidence.

"Let him tell me himself."

Sheng Jiaoyang hung up the phone. Facing Lin Na's questioning gaze, she simply said, "Li Yu assigned me a junior assistant."

Lin Na nodded and said, "This afternoon I'll take you to meet the brand designer I'm collaborating with. Let's find a place to eat first."

After getting into the car, Sheng Jiaoyang received a call from Li Yu. As soon as she answered, Li Yu's voice came through.

"I told you not to go anywhere these next few days, did you just ignore me?"

"Am I obligated to listen to you?" Sheng Jiaoyang wasn't the type to be led by the nose, so when they signed the contract, she changed many clauses restricting her activities. Now, Li Yu couldn't use the contract to command her.

"..." Li Yu.

"Goodbye if there's nothing else." Sheng Jiaoyang was about to hang up.

Li Yu sighed and quickly said, "When are you coming back?"

"Probably when school starts."

"So late?"

"You have a problem with that?" Sheng Jiaoyang retorted.

"Please, don't you have any self-awareness as an artist? Xu Jiaojiao, you need to straighten out your attitude. Did you sign with Yuren International just to mess around? Don't you want to be famous? Don't you want to earn your tuition money? Don't you want to have your own career?"

Hearing Li Yu's angry yet helpless tone, Sheng Jiaoyang's lips twitched. She replied casually, "So what?"

"I had everything arranged perfectly. I was about to ride Gu Zhou's rocket and gain considerable popularity, and in the blink of an eye, you're hanging out with Lina again. Are there not enough people criticizing you? Don't tell me this is your friendship. Is there such a sticky friendship? Even I don't believe it!"

Li Yu had probably never encountered someone so unyielding before, and before he knew it, his lecturing and complaining had turned into a tirade.

"Believe it or not." Sheng Jiaoyang's four words left Li Yu feeling a pang of resentment.

"Believe it or not, I'll freeze your career!" Li Yu was also angry, and his words revealed some of his true thoughts. Anyway, aside from telling him to sign the person and keep her under his nose, the boss didn't require him to make her famous.

"I believe you," Sheng Jiaoyang continued as Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "And then?" "

..." Li Yu.

"Nothing to say? Goodbye then!" Sheng Jiaoyang hung up the phone.

Li Yu, who had just been hung up on, sat in his office, gritting his teeth and banging on the table. He wanted to see what kind of future this unruly guy could have without Yuren International!

The forgotten little assistant, after a few days of doing nothing, finally couldn't help but apply for a transfer. Seeing that the person she was working for was not ambitious, even President Li had given up on her. If she didn't get a transfer, she could forget about any chance of advancement in the future.

The application was quickly approved, and Zhou Xiaozhen was transferred to work as an assistant to another newly signed artist.

Meanwhile, the "unambitious" person was conquering the designer with her strong confidence, becoming one of the designer's chosen models, and winning the opportunity to walk the runway with Lin Na.

"I've always wanted to walk the runway with you, and now it's finally come true." Lin Na hugged Sheng Jiaoyang, smiling happily.

“I never thought I’d have the chance to share the stage with you,” Sheng Jiaoyang said with a touch of emotion.

Lin Na tilted her head and smiled, saying, “Tonight…”

Before she could finish, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID, read Sheng Jiaoyang’s name, and answered on speakerphone.

Rita? Sheng Jiaoyang raised an eyebrow.

“Oh, Lin Na, I heard you’re back. Come to the party tonight!” Rita’s voice came from the phone.

“Can I bring someone?” Lin Na asked.

“A family member?”

“No, a good friend.”

“Oh, how disappointing. I thought you were bringing your boyfriend. Lin Na, can you get in touch with Jiaoyang? I’ve lost contact with her recently.”

Lin Na glanced at Sheng Jiaoyang and said, “Jiaoyang is sick and has been taken to a sanatorium. I can’t reach her either.”

“My goodness! Jiaoyang is sick? Is it serious? How come you can’t even reach her?”

Hearing Rita’s concerned tone on the phone, Sheng Jiaoyang couldn’t help but laugh.

“I also want to know how she is doing, but unfortunately her hospital information is being controlled by someone, and there’s nothing I can do about it,” Linna said regretfully, winking at Sheng Jiaoyang playfully.

“You’re her closest friend, aren’t you worried about not being able to contact her?” Rita asked, puzzled.

“Because I believe she’ll be alright.”

“Okay, she’s such a friendly person, God will surely bless her. Linna, dress up nicely tonight!”

“Of course, I won’t embarrass you.”

“See you tonight!”

After hanging up the phone, Linna smiled and said to Sheng Jiaoyang, “It’s rare that Rita still remembers you. Looks like your support for her wasn’t in vain.”

Hearing Linna’s nickname for Rita, Sheng Jiaoyang laughed, “Yeah, the protection money wasn’t wasted.”

Rita was another transfer student back then, naturally strong, and never lost a fight. Her father cut off her allowance as punishment for almost crippling a local bully’s son. Sheng Jiaoyang had plenty of money at the time, so he gave Rita money to spend, and Rita protected him at school. That’s how they became friends. Speaking of which, Rita and Linna met through Sheng Jiaoyang.

“It seems like it’s been two years since I’ve seen Rita,” Sheng Jiaoyang sighed.

“We’ll see her tonight. It’s still early, let’s go shopping!” Linna took Sheng Jiaoyang’s hand.

Walking through the mall, Lin Na said nostalgically, "Little Sun, it's been so long since we went shopping together."

"Yeah!"

"That dress in the window looks pretty nice, let's go in and take a look." Lin Na pointed to the dress on the mannequin in the window.

Entering the store, Lin Na was about to ask a sales assistant to take down the dress when Sheng Jiaoyang tugged at her.

"What's wrong?" Lin Na looked at her, puzzled.

Seeing Sheng Jiaoyang gesture towards the inside, Lin Na looked in that direction and saw a figure sitting on a sofa with his back to them.

Lin Yan?

Lin Na frowned. She scanned the store, her gaze lingering on the fitting room door for a second.

"Let's go to another store," Lin Na said, pulling Sheng Jiaoyang along.

Sheng Jiaoyang didn't move. She asked a sales assistant to take down the dress Lin Na had her eye on from the window, her gaze fixed on the fitting room. The woman Lin Yan was shopping with could only be his aunt or his soon-to-be fiancée. Judging from Lin Na's reaction, the person trying on clothes in the fitting room could only be Lin Yan's fiancée.

"Jiaojiao?" Lin Na called out softly with concern.

"Don't worry, I just wanted to take a look." Sheng Jiaoyang patted Lin Na's hand, which was on her arm.

The commotion drew the attention of the people sitting on the sofa.

"Nana."

Lin Na rolled her eyes, not wanting to pay any attention.

The shop assistant had already brought the dress.

Sheng Jiaoyang took the dress and shoved it into Lin Na's hands. "Didn't you like this one? Go try it on."

Lin Na glanced at her, then at Lin Yan, who had already stood up, and took the dress to the fitting room.

Sheng Jiaoyang took a deep breath, a slight smile playing on her lips, and walked towards Lin Yan.

"Hello, beautiful girl's brother."

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, as if he had been transported back to a summer a few years ago, when a girl with a playful smile leaned against the window and waved to him after he finished playing a piano piece, saying:

Hello, beautiful girl's brother!
