Lu Che as usual worked efficiently and smartly. Knowing the background information from Mo Ting from their weekly report, he decided to give Su Qian Ci a call instead of her husband.
Su Qian Ci was currently listening to the morning lecture and she would always put her phone on silent mode. Maybe it was fated, but she forgot to activate her silent mode and her ringtone was blasting through the quiet class.
"Whose phone is that?" The professor sharp voice could be heard across the room, slapping Su Qian Ci indirectly.
"I am sorry! It was my phone!" Su Qian Ci panickly turned it off without even seeing her screen.
"Miss Su, I think I have told you before that I don't like my class to be disturber. As you kindly forget the fact, please get out from my class now!"
Famous for her strict behavior, Qian Ci had no one to blame except for herself. Dismissed and feeling dejected, she relieved herself from the class and queueing for ice cream to lift up her mood. Everytime she felt down, ice cream sweetness and coldness would comfort her and brightened up her day.
Her phone rang once again and she mindlessly picked up without checking her screen. For her which ice cream flavor to choose was the only important thing in her mind.
"Hello." Qian Ci answered while thinking whether she should buy salted caramel or mint chocolate chip. Or, maybe both flavor. She could feel herself getting excited only imagining ice cream flavor. If only Si Cheng knew about this, he would definitely move over pints of ice cream inside their fridge and fed her until she was getting fatter.
"Hello, I am Lu Che, Hai Rui CEO Executive Assistant. May I speak to Ms. Su Qian Ci?"
"I am." Whoa, Hai Rui? Are they calling the right number? Should be right because they are addressing my name, but why?
No longer able to concentrate on her ice cream, she was targetting Lu Che now.
"Ms. Su, have you heard about the newest collaboration movie from our company?"
"Do you mean the movie with Tang Ning and Ning Xi? Of course, I have heard about it. The news is everywhere."
"Yes, that's right. We would like to invite you to join our production team."
"Me? Joining? But I don't know how to act."
"Rest assured, Ms. Su. This position would definitely suits you. CEO Mo has tasked me to invite you for further discussion on our future collaboration. Would you mind giving us a bit of your time?"
"Of course!" Qian Ci was so excited. To join production crew with such calibre and meeting her idols, who would reject such god given opportunity. "When is the meeting?"
"How about tomorrow? For convenience sake, we would invite you to come over to our city. All transport and accomodation would be covered."
"Yes, yes! I will definitely come. You can pick me up from my house. I will give you my address"
"Sure, Ms. Su. See you tomorrow." Lu Che felt successful upon hanging up his phone. He purposely wanted to initiate discussion with Ms Su before engaging the husband. Judging from her husband characteristic, getting her agreement would make the negotiation move forward by fifty percent. Little did he know that his calculation would go wrong this time.
Qian Ci excitedly went home and walked without looking carefully. She hit her body against another girl which causing her coffee to spill all over.
"Aaaaaa!" The girl, Xu Hua, screamed.
"Sorry! So sorry, I did not look around."
"Su Qian Ci! Just because you are now being Li Si Cheng wife, you are bullying people?!"
"I am not bullying you. It is an accident, believe me!"
Xu Hua was a college flower from Music department. She had beauty and talent. However, ever since Su Qian Ci was broadcasted live for Gremmies Award together with Song Yi Fan, her popularity went south in a scary manner.
All guys who used to wait for her outside practice room bringing flower, chocolates and words of praised had disappeared almost instantly. They shifted their attention towards Qian Ci now, a young girl from Business major, who managed to be accepted under scholarship program. Moreover, she had Li Si Cheng by her side.
Although she had beauty, rich and handsome husband and brain, how could she still trying to fight attention with her. For her, she had nothing but her musical talent and beauty. Since childhood, although she was from average family, praising kept flying towards her direction. Her beauty and talent always made her parents proud. Her only pride was on the edge of cliff, almost destroyed by Qian Ci.
"It's really an accident. I am so sorry. I can help you clean and buy you a new coffee. Really sorry." Qian Ci was still apologizing, feeling really guilty.
"Are you flaunting your money to me? No need! I can wash and buy my own coffee." Xu Hua angrily stomped out after causing such a big scene, making Qian Ci felt embarassed being left behind.
Lowering her down, Qian Ci quickly took her leave. She wanted to prepare for the meeting tomorrow. Thank goodness that Li Si Cheng was overseas. He would surely object this opportunity for her. After Gremmies Award, Si Cheng jealousy had increased to another level, wanted to keep Qian Ci as a prison of her own house. He did not believe any other guys except himself. Qian Ci make up and over exposed dress increased her beauty and fans base. Even she had no status as celebrity, her name was heavily discussed after Gremmies Award. No one aware about this fact as Si Cheng instructed his team to take down all news related to Qian Ci, especially her pictures in the backless dress. It should totally gone forever.
Although he managed to pull out all news, some fans who had seen kept talking about her and causing her mysterious and beautiness as a viral topic of discussion. Those who had seen her exaggerated her beauty while those who had not seen her was getting impatient and trying to use every other means to get more information about her.
