章節 13: A Perfect Match for the Heartless and Brainless
An Qi's words struck Dong Manman, causing Dong Manman's hand to involuntarily increase its strength. Then, Dong Manman immediately was worried that she had accidentally hurt An Qi.
But, when she looked in the mirror and saw no reaction from An Qi, she gently stroked An Qi's hair and said, "Come on, you suddenly became so serious. I am really not used to that."
An Qi's slender fingers held Dong Manman's hand as she said, "You should not always think that you're still young and have plenty of time to waste. You must know that every person can meet 29.2 million people in her life, and the probability of being in love with any of those people is quite slim! So, if you find the right one, you should not care about his status, but go after him boldly!"
Dong Manman pulled away her hand and laughed. "Why do you have to pick up the video call from my dream lover? Are you trying to help me assess him?"
"Hmm... Kind of." An Qi grinned and was a bit embarrassed, so she quickly changed the topic. "I was just wondering who made you long for him so much that you can't even sleep well at night, and in the morning, you just stare at your iPad anxiously!"
"Haha, don't explain anymore. I know you care about me. Come on" Dong Manman laughed as she pulled An Qi off her seat, then turned An Qi around to face the mirror. She seemed as if she was very satisfied with her masterpiece.
"You can rest assured. The reason why I care so much is purely because the strong resources of my dream lover can potentially help me gain publicity. I am not interested in him personally. Besides, even if I was interested, I would not stand a chance," Dong Manman said.
An Qi opened her mouth wide and asked, "You are someone who has won top awards before, so why do you still need to use this method to accumulate contacts and publicity?"
"You wouldn't understand." Dong Manman patted An Qi on the shoulder. "My awards are only useful in our country, but the center stage of fashion is Paris. As early as a few years ago, my dream lover had already conquered the Paris runway. With his help, I can gain entry into the international arena."
An Qi nodded, finally understanding. She then asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?" Since An Qi's family business was also in the fashion industry, she wondered if there was anything that she could do to help Dong Manman's career reach greater heights.
"You? Doesn't your family make a lot of ready-made clothes?" Dong Manman waved her hand and feigned disgust. "Your family business might have been helpful a few years ago, but not now. At present, the most important thing for you to do is to quickly find a job, move out of my house, and don't drag me along with you!"
An Qi knew better to insist, and she also knew that Dong Manman was quite proud. Although she was faced with financial difficulties, Dong Manman was also full of integrity. Thus, she had never once asked An Qi for help.
Unlike Dong Manman, Gu Xiaonan was obsessed with An Qi's clothings and bags. After being gifted with what she wanted, she was still not satisfied and had even robbed An Qi of her boyfriend!
At the thought of this, An Qi had a cold look in her eyes and said, "Dong Manman, I am going out now. Please help me by taking care of An Yufei."
"Oh, you are ready to go?" Dong Manman looked down at An Qi's feet, which were clad in eight-inch, red high-heeled shoes.
"So what if I am only an ordinary clerk? According to Dong Manman's theory, conquering the dream lover is equivalent to conquering Paris. Once I conquer the Leng Group, I will be able to help HaiRui Fashion!" At present, An Qi stood at the door of Leng's Mansion, quietly mumbling to inspire herself.
Within just a few seconds of her arrival at the door, a security guard came and blocked her from entering. "If you are here for an interview, just call the people from the Human Resource Department and ask them to come pick you up." Clearly, the security guard mistook her for someone applying for an important position.
"Oh, yes. Thank you." An Qi wiped her forehead and tried to figure her next move. If she did not even have the chance to step into the Leng Group, Dong Manman would laugh at her when she returned.
An Qi was imagining how Dong Manman would make fun of her, while ransacking through her handbag. Her phone, which loved to play hide-and-seek with her, had disappeared yet again.
Under the hot afternoon sun, a strange scene appeared in front of the security post at the main door. A beautiful figure knelt in front of a scattered pile of toiletries and knick knacks from her handbag.
If one looked closely, it could be seen that the beauty was muttering something, as if she was chanting a curse. At the same time, Leng Yuchen was walking through the fountain in front of the main door and saw the not very elegant scene.
Usually, Boss Leng would not stop to give it a second look. But, this time, he halted abruptly, and Sheng Jie, who was following behind Boss Leng, almost crashed his nose right into his back! He wondered why Boss Leng had stopped all of a sudden.
Following Leng Yuchen's line of vision, Sheng Jie's eyes were frightened on the spot. As Leng Yuchen was standing in the light, he could not see the woman's face, but could sense that the woman's movements were unsightly.
As Sheng Jie had made Boss Leng angry the night before, he was afraid that he might be involved in a trifle. Hence, Sheng Jie placed a tablet in front of Leng Yuchen, then pointed to JinXiu Huating and said, "Look Boss Leng, I finally found where the woman is staying!"
Leng Yuchen had a quiet personality, so upon hearing Sheng Jie's loud voice, he could not help but frown as he stepped into his car. Sheng Jie instantly breathed a sigh of relief and said to the driver, "Jinxiu Huating."
"Ah! Found it at last!" Just when An Qi felt her legs getting numb from crouching as she rifled through her purse's items, she realized that her phone was not in her bag at all, but was hanging around her neck this whole time!
She giggled at the security guard and crept up the stairs with the man who had come to pick her up.
"How can such a person be here for an interview? Hopefully, she is not a mother. Otherwise, it must be the child's bad luck to have her as a mother!" When An Qi walked away, the security guard could not help but comment on her somewhat bizarre behavior.
In the distance, An Yufei was leaning against a telephone pole, staring at cars that sped past and listening to the sneers and comments of the security guard.
