She would never take the blame for hindering the development of Yun Country's fashion industry!
Wu Pengpeng got up and walked onto the stage. She took the microphone from the host and set out to clear her name.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the 'Dream' fashion show. To express my gratitude for the support from all my colleagues, I've decided to offer all the clothing design drafts for tonight's debut show for free to all the clothing companies present here. Let's jointly launch this season's new products," she announced.
As soon as her voice fell, the audience was in an uproar.
Getting the design drafts of "Distant Mountains" was like holding the key to wealth.
This woman had spent a fortune to secure the right to host the fashion show, presumably to monopolize the design of "Distant Mountains."
So why was she now willing to give it away? Did she have some other ulterior motive?
People were skeptical. They were afraid there might be some hidden conditions, so they didn't dare to accept her proposal easily.
But the offer was really tempting. What if it was really a stroke of luck? If they missed it, they would surely regret it.
Just as people were having different thoughts, a soft voice came from the crowd, "Are you really willing to jointly develop this season's new products with everyone?"
Wu Pengpeng followed the sound and saw it was the girl she had bumped into downstairs at the Lanting Club that day.
It seemed that this girl still hadn't given up on "Distant Mountains"!
This was really a blessing from heaven!
Wu Pengpeng gave a mysterious smile. "It's for you all to jointly develop. I won't participate."
The girl was even more confused. "Then why..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but Wu Pengpeng understood what she meant.
She had spent so much effort and money to secure the right to host the show, but now she was sharing the fruits of her labor with others. It didn't seem like a normal thing to do.
Wu Pengpeng straightened her expression and said seriously, "If I can make a little contribution to the development of Yun Country's clothing industry, why not?"
The girl was still dubious.
Wu Pengpeng gave her a gentle smile. "Why did you get into the clothing industry in the first place?"
The girl blushed shyly and then said firmly, "Because our country doesn't have its own luxury brands and has no place in the international fashion world. I want to build a fashion empire belonging to Yun Country."
When she talked about her dream, her whole body seemed to glow.
Wu Pengpeng suddenly remembered that many years ago, she had also been so determined that one day she would win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Although her dream couldn't come true, she could help others achieve theirs.
"What's your name?" She really wanted to help this girl with a dream.
The girl hesitated for a moment and then told the truth. "Fu Yunxiu."
Wu Pengpeng smiled with satisfaction. "Then I'll leave the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Yun Country's fashion world to you."
She looked at the people below the stage and announced publicly, "I've decided to transfer the contract of 'Distant Mountains' to Miss Fu."
Fu Yunxiu was stunned. She never expected Wu Pengpeng to make such a decision. "Why? Didn't you hold this show for 'Distant Mountains'?"
Wu Pengpeng smiled calmly. "No!"
Fu Yunxiu was even more puzzled. "Then why did you hold this show?"
Of course, it was to spend money!
Wu Pengpeng made up a story seriously. "To be honest, I know nothing about the fashion industry. I held this show because there would be a lot of handsome guys and beautiful girls. I wanted to see if there was anyone I liked and sign them to my talent agency."
To sign an artist, she had made such a big deal.
Money really made people任性!
I wonder who would be lucky enough to be spotted by her.
Huo Jingting sat up straight when he saw Wu Pengpeng on the stage. He hoped to be noticed at a glance.
There were two girls whispering behind him.
The short-haired girl suddenly realized. "No wonder all the top celebrities were invited today. She must be trying to poach them!"
The long-haired girl was envious. "I'm so jealous of her. Isn't this the ultimate dream of all star-chasing girls? To sign their idols to their own companies and pour resources into promoting them."
The short-haired girl nodded in agreement. "That's true. Which star-chasing girl doesn't want to be a rich woman and spend money on their idols? Hey, who do you think she'll sign?"
The long-haired girl said confidently. "Class-3. They're the top boy band in the country. They're good-looking and have strong professional abilities."
The short-haired girl shook her head. She disagreed. "I think it'll be Huo Jingting. Although there are many artists here today, she only interacted with Huo Jingting."
The long-haired girl sneered. "That's not interaction. That's harassment."
The short-haired girl said confidently. "You don't understand! Isn't that how the story of a bickering couple always starts?"
Huo Jingting listened to their discussion and couldn't help but look forward to it.
Serving this beautiful world's richest woman was much better than serving that old woman, Sister Lan.
Someone in the crowd, who loved to stir up trouble, shouted, "So, does Miss Wu have someone in mind?"
Wu Pengpeng just wanted to make up an excuse to get away, but she didn't expect to be questioned on the spot.
She smiled awkwardly and was about to say that she hadn't seen anyone she liked when her eyes accidentally swept over He Qianshan, who was sitting upright below the stage.
He was sitting there with a gentle expression, emitting a faint light that was hard to ignore.
An idea flashed through her mind. She pointed at him with her slender finger. "I've chosen him."
Huo Jingting followed Wu Pengpeng's gaze and saw He Qianshan smiling at the stage.
The two of them were looking at each other from afar, one bright and the other dark, one moving and the other still, creating a beautiful picture.
Huo Jingting couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He Qianshan was no match for him in any way except for his looks and acting skills!
He Qianshan had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, but he had never made a splash. He clearly wasn't cut out for this job!
This Wu Pengpeng was really blind. She didn't want him, a popular star, but instead wanted to sign a flop actor.
She would surely lose all her money!
"Teacher He, what do you think?" Someone in the crowd recognized He Qianshan and became jealous. "Not everyone is as lucky as you to be spotted by Miss Wu."
This remark seemed to be envious of He Qianshan's luck, but in fact, it was a veiled sarcasm that he had used his looks to get such a good opportunity.
He Qianshan seemed not to notice the hidden meaning. He said gently, "I think this kind of thing should be discussed privately between Miss Wu and me."
The jealous person was embarrassed and had to shut up.
The fashion show ended, and the banquet began.
The hall was filled with people clinking glasses and the fragrance of clothes and hair.
Wu Pengpeng was holding a glass of wine and leaning on the railing on the second floor. She looked at the people feasting downstairs, as if she could see the money flowing away like water. She couldn't help but laugh softly.
He Qianshan looked up accidentally and saw Wu Pengpeng smiling with her eyes bent. He couldn't help but smile too.
Fu Heng, who was behind him, saw him suddenly stop and looked over curiously. He saw Wu Pengpeng smiling like a mischievous little fox.
Looking at his boss's reaction, it was obvious that he was attracted by this little fox.
He sighed silently. "Let's go, boss. You still have an appointment with President Zhou."
"Wait a minute." He Qianshan left this sentence and walked straight towards Wu Pengpeng.
Wu Pengpeng was still immersed in the joy of spending money and didn't even hear the footsteps behind her.
He Qianshan stood beside her for a long time, but she didn't notice. He had to ask, "Miss Wu, were you serious about what you said on the stage just now?"
Wu Pengpeng was startled. She turned around and saw it was him. It took her a while to realize what he was referring to.
"Of course." She didn't dare to look into his eyes and continued to lie on the railing, looking at the guests downstairs.
"Why?" He Qianshan also imitated her and lay on the railing. "There are many excellent artists here today. Why did you choose me?"
Of course, it was because you're the most handsome!
Wu Pengpeng looked at him sideways, her eyes twinkling. "Of course, it's to spend the most money to promote the most flop actor."
