Chapter 178 - 178 IAmFashionista Arc 1 is ending (II) (1/2)
But Mr. Luo was not waiting for an answer.
”There will be a war. And the starting point of that war is IAmFashionista. If the dam who holds the gigantic water broke, the gigantic water would flow out and would keep eating its surroundings. Can you see how bad it would be?” Mr. Luo held his forehead.
It was not a literal war he was talking about. It was an economic war that would affect not only the specific countries but the whole world. Those were major figures after all. A certain figure could cause some of the country's international trade to freeze.
That's how powerful those major businessmen were.
Xiong Zhi's face was stern. She doesn't clearly understand what's going on. But based on what Mr. Luo was hinting at and based on his grieved expression, it was a serious matter.
But..what's going to be her involvement in this?
She wanted to skip first what cause this dam, IAmFashionsta, to break. Or who was threatening this balance was.
It was clear that Mr. Luo does not want to tell her that.
”What is my involvement?” If her involvement would bring disadvantages and trouble to her rather than the benefits then she would not hesitate to reject this position that all rich men were eyeing for.
”I just need your presence. Another mighty Xiong who could keep the balance for now. ”
This vague explanation made Xiong Zhi furrowed her brows.
”In the next few months, no maybe a week or two. Heck, maybe even in just a couple of days, some people will approach you. Not only you but to all the legendary families. They would be asking you to approve a deal. ” Mr. Luo's face suddenly turned serious than usual.
”If that day comes, please make sure you and Master Xiong won't agree to them. Even the other families agreed, please don't agree. It would help us buy more time.” Mr. Luo pleaded.
Xiong Zhi stared at him with deep thought.
After a while, she sighed.
”I can't really promise without seeing the whole picture. But I can promise that if it does not affect me badly too much if I disagree with them, then I would try to keep the balance as you said. ”
Mr. Luo finally let out a sigh of relief.
”Im glad. Thank you, Miss Xiong Zhi.”
Xiong Zhi was still full of questions. She had so many questions but she only managed to ask this one question,
”Is grandfather and I are enough to keep the balance you are speaking of?”
Mr. Luo smiled sadly.
”Not enough. I at least need the four families to be at my side.”
Xiong Zhi got confused more.
”Why don't you talk to the other three families? I'm sure at least the Lu's and Tang's might agree with you if it's about keeping the balance.”
Mr. Luo shook his head. He remembered again the talk of that night. The cold presence of the mask men and how he introduces that two possible heirs of the Lu and Guan family. That man has two legendary families in his hands. He also got the south and north's approval. If he got the other two legendary families to his side, the Xiong and the Tang...
Mr. Luo shivered in that thought.
If that happened, then IAmFashionista would have a new organizer. That man would play IAmFashionista in his hands.
With IAmFashionista, that man could raise in status, authority, and money. He, Mr. Luo, who knew what kind of privilege an organizer has, knew the best what benefits that could gain from this event.
That man would be crowned as a new king. In a few more years, he might have the same power as the legendary families. Or maybe more...
That man would break the balance. Once that balance broke, the other powers would no longer hold back to expand their territory. Some conglomerate would be threatened and might side to a bigger power. Making the business industry a mess.
That time, those who supported that man would be too late to regret it.
Mr. Luo has a clear picture of what about to happen.
That's why he needs to convince the other sponsors. To make them not be convinced of their greed because of that man's offer.
That's why he needs Xiong Zhi. He needs another VVIP. Another major sponsor who could add one more vote to disagree with that man.
So that he could buy more time.
At first, he doesn't know where he would get a VVIP out of thin air.
It's good that that night, Xiong Zhi bid 20 billion for a dress. She was a great candidate to be a VVIP. If she becomes a VVIP after just one event, people might not question why she would be a VVIP immediately. They would think she deserves it as the first person who bid 20 billion and breaks many records of the history of IAmFashionista.
Xiong Zhi was like a life-saving straw for him.
He would have time to convince the other sponsors.
”I plan to talk to them. But for now, please accept this. ” He handed the envelope. It was the official doc.u.ment stating she was now the main sponsor of IAmFashinosta.
