Looking at Xia Sanghuan's eager expression, Leng Chuanjin couldn't help but gently stroke her back with a touch of pity.
"Sanghuan, calm down," he whispered to her.
With his reminder, the girl gradually regained her senses.
"Of course I've considered your proposal," Moraine began to continue after seeing her emotions stabilize.
"But after in - depth investigation, we found that among the models in your sister's company, there is no one who meets our criteria."
Hearing his words, Xia Sanghuan couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. But then again, how many Alia are there in the world?
"At present, only Alia's temperament is most suitable for our brand's new product," he said with a sigh.
Leng Chuanjin didn't miss this unconscious gesture of his. His eyes flickered slightly.
"Has your company found a substitute for Alia yet?"
"Or, is Alia willing to cooperate with your company?"
"No," Moraine said tiredly as he massaged his temples. He hadn't had a good sleep for several days because of this matter. He didn't know what Kevin's company was up to. He was about to retire, yet they still gave him such a headache.
"Then may I ask what your criteria for models are?"
"The overall effect should be similar to Alia's," Moraine replied.
"And it can't be an unknown little model. After all, the model should help promote the new product to a certain extent."
He only put forward two requirements, but neither of them was easy to meet. Just the first requirement could almost eliminate all the models in the modeling circle.
But Xia Sanghuan suddenly regained hope.
"Mr. Garcia, I have another sister. She's a Hollywood..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the man beside her interrupted her.
Leng Chuanjin pulled her up and led her in front of Moraine.
"Do you think she'd be suitable?"
Xia Sanghuan, who was originally introducing Fu Youqing to Moraine, was completely stunned. She looked at him in disbelief. What did he mean by "Do you think she'd be suitable?"
Her lips moved as she mouthed at him, "Are you crazy?"
Leng Chuanjin gave her a reassuring look.
The girl thought that Moraine would just laugh heartily and say to the man that his joke was really humorous. But he didn't.
Moraine seemed to be seriously considering it.
"Actually, you recognized her the first time you saw her, didn't you?"
"How do you know?" The old man looked at Leng Chuanjin playfully.
"Because ever since Sanghuan and I appeared in your sight that day, you've been staring at her. If you hadn't stared for so long, I wouldn't have gone to ask you for the pigeon - feeding grains."
So that's how it was.
"Then why didn't you drive me away at that time?"
"Or give me a warning on the spot? After all, it's not gentlemanly to stare at a young and beautiful lady non - stop." There was still a smile in his tone.
"Because I knew you meant no harm. Your look at Sanghuan was more of appreciation than scrutiny. How could I not be happy when my lover is recognized by a top figure in the fashion circle?"
Leng Chuanjin's words were very well - reasoned. Although it seemed like he was just complimenting Moraine, in fact, he had completely blocked Moraine's chance to reject them. It could be said that Moraine couldn't reject them to their faces now.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was smiling calmly, Moraine couldn't help sighing inwardly. As expected of Leng Chuanjin, a legendary figure whose name was bound to be heard in any industry.
"Moreover," the man continued.
"Sanghuan is also the fifth young lady of the Fu family and the first heir of the Fu family. With such a background, she should be one step above Alia."
This was far more than just one step above. It was like the difference between a maid and a princess.
Moraine hesitated. Although he only hesitated for a second, Leng Chuanjin could tell that he was wavering. And he also knew what Moraine was worried about. He was worried about Xia Sanghuan's professional ability, which was the gap that couldn't be compared with Alia.
"I'll consider it," Moraine said, nodding his head with some difficulty after a relatively long silence.
"I'll contact you when I've made up my mind."
Although Moraine didn't ask for it, Xia Sanghuan still firmly gave him Fu Youqing's contact information before leaving.
"Your family is really extraordinary," Moraine said with a smile, looking at the business card in his hand.
"On normal days, I wouldn't have the chance to get in touch with a Hollywood actress of your sister's level."
"You're being too modest, sir," the girl said with a smile.
Since the thing she was most concerned about had been temporarily resolved, the big stone in her heart finally fell. Her smile looked much more natural and sincere, which made it even harder for Moraine to refuse.
On the way back, Xia Sanghuan's gloomy face for many days finally relaxed a lot.
"So happy?" Leng Chuanjin moved closer to her.
"Of course," she replied.
"The thing my sister asked me to do finally has some progress. Of course I'm happy." She let out a sigh of relief.
"I really didn't expect that the old gentleman who was feeding the pigeons with me that day was actually the chairman of Via."
"Fortunately, I didn't say anything strange that day."
"Moreover," she looked at him somewhat discontentedly.
"Why did you suddenly suggest that I become a model? I don't know anything about it."
"Do you really not know anything?" Leng Chuanjin countered.
"Didn't we take that magazine photo shoot pretty well?"
His short words reminded her of a distant memory. That magazine was still stored in her cabinet. At that time, just a little physical contact between them was enough to make her blush and her heart race. However, now they were already in a relationship where they could share a bed.
"That's different," she sighed.
"I want to find a modeling training class. Although Mr. Moraine has softened his attitude for now, if I don't have the corresponding strength by then, he still won't agree."
"Why not just ask Fu Moning?" Leng Chuanjin continued.
"You flew all the way here to help her. Can't she reimburse your modeling training fee?"
She thought he was just joking, but as soon as they got to the hotel, he called Fu Moning.
Within half an hour, the best trainer from the second - sister's company was already on a plane flying to this country.
To avoid disappointing Fu Moning, Xia Sanghuan specifically told him not to tell the real reason. It would be okay to tell the second - sister after Moraine completely agreed to this matter.
Yun Ye took care of the relevant matters. After sending the hotel address to Fu Moning, he rushed to the airport to pick up the trainer.
