Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

Hearing Lu Li say Qiao Liang’s name, Lin Yuan pursed his lips and hummed wordlessly. Suddenly he remembered that they had mentioned that Xiao Rou fell into a coma last night, so he asked, “Is Xiao Rou alright?”

“Did something happen between you and Qiao Liang recently?” Lu Li noticed that Lin Yuan’s attitude towards Qiao Liang had changed since he came back from the capital. Obviously Lin Yuan was much colder to Qiao Liang than before and he didn’t know why.

Hearing Lu Li’s question, Lin Yuan pursed his lips and said, “Nothing, nothing happened between us.” He finally had those people promise not to tell anyone about the parachute incident. Of course he wouldn’t talk about it himself! He was not that stupid!

Seeing that Lin Yuan refused to tell him what had happened between him and Qiao Liang, Lu Li raised his eyebrows before saying, “Xiao Rou’s first show will be held in several days. Will you come to see her show? You can take that chance to clear up the misunderstanding between you and Qiao Liang.”

Lin Yuan snorted. “We don’t have any misunderstanding!” He was so stupid who was he to try to take advantage of Qiao Liang?! He should have known that a person like Qiao Liang wouldn’t allow anyone to take advantage of him! At that time, he thought he was seriously going to die in the airplane, but then Qiao Liang suddenly told him that there was still a parachute for him on the plane! What a jerk!

And he even appreciated him, completely forgetting that the whole reason he was in this awkward situation was because of Qiao Liang!

“Come over if you have time.” Qiao Liang walked into the room, took the laptop from Lu Li and looked at Lin Yuan as he said, “Come over to meet Xiao Rou.”

Lin Yuan’s face darkened when he saw Qiao Liang. He cut off the video conference after hearing his words. Lu Li and Chu Ling looked at each other in doubt, and Lu Li asked, “What happened between you two? Nine has never hung up on you before.”

Chu Ling whistled as he said, “Haha, that’s funny. I saw Mr. Nine give Mr. Qiao a dirty look. I remember that he has always respected you. What happened?”

Qiao Liang took a look at the two of them, straightened his clothes and asked expressionlessly, “Aren’t you going to go see the show field? Are you going there or not?”

Chu Ling snorted, stood up and straightened out his clothes, saying, “Sure! Let’s go!” He should have known it was impossible to pull the secret out of Qiao Liang!

Xiao Rou changed her clothes and wore a tank top and cape before letting her hair fall down from its previous ponytail. She looked more mature and gentle. She walked out and smiled as she said, “Let’s go.”

“You go first. I have something to deal with. I’ll go watch the show.” Lu Li took his coat and said with a smile, “Let’s have dinner together.”

Tang Xi totally understood Lu Li. With such an important position, he must be very busy, and even Qiao Liang had to make time to accompany her. She wouldn’t force Lu Li to check the show field with her. Qiao Liang looked at Lu Li and said flatly, “Call me if you have any problems.”

Lu Li hummed in response and said with a smile, “They won’t dare to do anything to me in Paris. Don’t worry.”

…

The four of them left the apartment. Tang Xi, Qiao Liang and Chu Ling headed for the show field and Lu Li would be heading over to Long Xiao’s branch office in Paris.

Seeing them, Huo Yun was about to drive the car for them but Lu Li frowned and said coldly to Huo Yun, “Huo Yun, go to the branch office with me.”

Huo Yun stopped her footsteps and looked back at Lu Li as she pursed her lips and said, “Mr. Seven, I’m here to take care of Miss Xiao. Now…”

“Yes, you can go take care of her after giving me your resignation letter!” Lu Li said and turned to get into the car. Huo Yun frowned, watched Little Six sit in the driving seat, and pursed her lips as she said, “You’re the boss. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.”

…

The three of them went to see the show field. It was not that formal and was in a golf course. Tang Xi took a look at the green lawn and frowned, she looked at Chu Ling and said, “The garments we will present don’t seem to go with this place…”

“This is not our show field.” Chu Ling took them to a shuttle bus and pointed at a lake in the distance, saying, “This place is not famous for meadow golf but for water golf. If you think it’s okay, I’ll have them start to build the stage. Although it is a bit difficult, the stage can be built within two days with the help of my men and Qiao Liang’s men.”

Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and the latter smiled, saying, “Let’s go and have a look?”

The three of them soon reached the lake. The lake was very beautiful. Now it was autumn. The trees on the other side of the lake had been hung with gold leaves that were reflected on the lake. This looked simply like a fairyland. Tang Xi looked at the lake and nodded with a smile. “This is a great idea, but I wonder how to arrange the seats.”

“I think this time, we’d better not invite small stars. We’ll invite A-listers and the most famous fashion icons. We’ll invite not more than one hundred people, but all of them must be very influential in the fashion industry.” Chu Ling stood on the lawn and looked at the lake, looking so confident and proud, “Although our brand is new, it will be a high-end brand. It won’t be an average brand that will be open to just anyone. No one will look down upon our brand!”

Tang Xi smiled. Hearing Chu Ling’s words, she remembered why she founded this brand. She nodded firmly. “Okay, I’ve designed the invitation cards last night. I’ll invite the A-listers and fashion icons from both China and abroad. Of course, it would be better if you can invite some people who are more important, President Chu.”

Chu Ling smiled. “I’m one of the important people.”

Tang Xi was amused by his words and Chu Ling said seriously, “I think what matters most is the media instead of the invitees, especially the media that reports fashion week. It will be great if we can have a globally renowned media report our show.”

Tang Xi nodded and said, “Yes, this is important. I’ll work out a way to get the best media coverage in the next few days.”
