Chapter 7 (1/2)

After that news was announced, everything was in chaos but Feng Ping was none the wiser.

After collapsing onto the bed, she slept all the way until the next afternoon when room service woke her up to eat lunch. After eating lunch, she went to Yi Eryang's office as usual when his a.s.sistant notified her that he was currently with Zhou xiaojie for her dress fitting. Consequently, she switched directions and went to the fitting room in the back, only to find the male that she b.u.mped into yesterday sitting on the red couch when she opened the door.

It was the celebrity Han Yi, a singer who recently exploded into popularity.

This time he wasn't wearing any sungla.s.ses and after staring at her for three seconds with his phoenix eyes, he indifferently went back to reading the magazine in his hands again.

Feng Ping couldn't tell if he recognized her or not but didn't say anything and went directly inside. She wasn't even close before she already heard Yi Eryang's helpless and tired voice, “Zhou xiaojie, if you're still not satisfied with this, then I really…”

When she pushed the door open, all eyes in the room focused on her. Yi Eryang had a clear expression of relief on his face and took a couple of large steps to pounce on her, whispering by her ear, “my G.o.d(1), you're my king.”

Seeing that Zhou xiaojie‘s expression, Feng Ping secretly thought that his words weren't quite true and laughed as she whispered back, “nono, the customer is the king.”

This Zhou Xinzhu xiaojie was the ice beauty she met yesterday.

Her gaze was much sharper than the Han xiansheng(2) sitting outside. Coldly measuring Feng Ping, she looked at Yi Eryang and with a very haughty tone, coldly asked, “Who is she?”

Other than Feng Ping and Yi Eryang in the room, there were also two a.s.sistants responsible for helping with the fitting. Everyone s.h.i.+vered. As a male, Yi Eryang hated this type of condescending tone, and pretended he didn't hear anything. The female a.s.sistant was quick-witted and hurried to smooth things over and truthfully introduced, “She's our part-timer, her name is Feng Ping.”

Zhou Xinzhu raised her lips into a cold smile and let go of the evening dress that was in her hands. Setting her gaze on Feng Ping, she spoke in a measured tone, “That means…you're not a reporter?”

Other than Feng Ping, everyone else was bewildered. The a.s.sistant who just spoke had no idea what the situation was, and her smile was starting to become forced.

Yi Eryang suspiciously looked at Feng Ping, “Your main job is a reporter?”

Feng Ping faintly smiled, “No.”

Zhou Xinzhu spoke coldly again, “Eryang, this employee of yours sure has some skills…”

Yi Eryang already detected that something had happened between the two, but he detested her critical att.i.tude as well as her arrogant tone. Even though her words thinly veiled insults, he went with the flow, “En, Feng Ping is truly a genius, in the future she'll definitely seize all the prizes in the fas.h.i.+on world.”

Zhou Xinzhu was originally only half angry, but she was angered even more by these words. But she couldn't figure out what Yi Eryang was trying to say, and as her brain churned, she couldn't recall anyone important whose surname was Feng. But Ren Yao was suddenly kicked out of the hotel, so clearly it was because of what happened yesterday. However, even if this yatou(3) surnamed Feng had someone back her, what of it? When was she, Zhou Xinzhu, ever afraid of anyone?

Thinking of it like this, her face unconsciously revealed a smile. When she wasn't smiling, she looked like an ice beauty. When she did smile, she looked even more like an ice beauty, those red lips and white teeth along with those icy eyes really caused one's heart to freeze.

“Eryang, did you see today's newspaper?”

“I haven't had the chance to, what happened?”

“Do you know who Han Yi's manager is?”

“I do.”

“Yesterday he got blacklisted by s.h.i.+guang Hotel.”

“Ah? How did that happen?” Yi Eryang was truly surprised.

The type of men that Feng Ping hated the most were ones that didn't respect women. Yesterday that rained down insults to her face and his stench of cigarette smoke and alcohol caused her to almost suffocate. In a fit of fury, she wanted to kick him out because she didn't want to see him in the hotel. Who could've thought that Fang Botao not only kicked him out, he also blacklisted him.

Hehe, he sure did things quite thoroughly.

After hearing this news from out of the blue, she felt both vindicated and happy, her face betraying her emotions as the corners of her mouth lifting up. Seeing this, Zhou Xinzhu was boiling, and Yi Eryang had a face full of curiosity.

Spreading her hands, her voice was full of helplessness, “That can't be helped. That gentleman's character was too poor and was very rude, if he were to act so impolitely to the other guests in the hotel…”

“Other guests?” Zhou Xinzhu squinted her eyes as she evaluated her. Not a single article of clothing was from a brand she knew, and yet this woman could live in s.h.i.+guang Hotel?

“What? Are you also living in s.h.i.+guang Hotel?”

Zhou Xinzhu was originally quite tall and currently she was also wearing a pair of high heels, forcing Feng Ping to have to look up at her as she smiled, “Occasionally I'll stay there, is that unusual?”

Zhou Xinzhu furrowed her eyebrows. Even though she didn't like her (Feng Ping), she couldn't deny her beauty.

Contemplating this point, her brain suddenly lit up: Could she be…? If it was like this, then that wouldn't be out of the ordinary—She couldn't help but take another glance at Feng Ping.

Feng Ping clearly felt a sense of disdain from her eyes, and couldn't figure out why when she heard her coldly speak, “It's not unusual. It's just that Feng xiaojie, everyone is a part of this circle, so everyone interacts with each other quite often. Don't go too overboard when doing things.”

This sentence already revealed a thick sense of hostility.

Yi Eryang hurriedly tried to let Feng Ping escape, “I'm currently waiting for a fax from Paris, can you help me see if it's been sent over yet?”

How could Feng Ping not know what he was trying to say? She agreed and prepared to step out.

Zhou Xinzhu still wanted to continue with this topic of conversation when Han Yi suddenly came in, “Are you still not done?”

She could only stifle her words.

Zhou Xinzhu had a height of 178 cm and debuted when she was sixteen, grabbing the top award at model compet.i.tions, on top of that she also came from a wealthy family, so she had quite a bit of fame in Asia. Although she had a shapely figure, her hips were a little wide, which was one of her insecurities, so she was always very sensitive about them. Currently, she was unhappy with this evening for making her b.u.t.t look a little too big. In reality, this worry was just a manifestation of her own insecurity.

Yi Eryang spoke until his mouth was dry and still couldn't get her to stop worrying about her b.u.t.t. Han Yi simply said a couple of sentences to make it work. He said, “This evening gown is really creative, Xinzhu, if you wear this, you'll definitely be the belle of the ball at the event in two days.”

Zhou Xinzhu was slightly suspicious, “You don't think that the back…has a little problem?”

He seriously took a look and said, “It's perfect. I can't pick out any flaws.”

Zhou Xinzhu finally was satisfied and very happily faced Yi Eryang, “Alright. Then let's not alter anything. The day after tomorrow, send it to my house at six.”

Yi Eryang and those two female a.s.sistants wanted to vomit blood. Using their professional viewpoints, they explained each and every detail about the dress to her, from the materials used to the design, yet she didn't buy their explanations. Yet with just a sentence, Han Yi was able to accomplish this. No wonder why people said that women become dumb when they're in love.
