Chapter 426 - Complaining To Her Family In Tears
In the 2nd week of June, the results for the best fashion brand in the country were revealed, and of course, no one could beat FJ. U&ME came in 3rd, which was surprising because they have never made it to the Top 3 before.
Sunny took Jia Li to receive the award on behalf of FJ, to the envy of some people
For U&ME, most people were saying it was because of the boost they experienced and that was the reason some attention was given to them.
The Boss of U&ME was satisfied although he came in 3rd place, but now, he has become greedy and wants to overtake FJ overnight. He was currently staying up all night and looking for a way to overtake FJ before their next Autumn Fashion Show, and at last, an idea came to him to host a fashion show before FJ does.
After bringing up this suggestion in a meeting he had with his board of directors, only a few of them agreed that it was a good idea. But the majority said that it wouldn't work and what was their reason?
They said that FJ's Autumn Fashion show will be hosted 2 months later, and for them to host theirs before them, they would have to do a pot of preparation which would take a lot of time. They thought that bringing up that suggestion on a whim, was not a good idea, because they may lose the fame and reputation they managed to gain in a few months if they were not successful with the Fashion Show.
"The creative department of FJ Styles do not sleep, and are constantly developing new ideas for their products, so why should our creative Arts department slack off?." The Boss of U&ME asked with a frown. He didn't want his idea to be kicked away, as he wanted to fight to get to FJ's level in a few months.
"Our brand can not be compared to a brand like FJ which has been in existence for more than 50 years. They have taken time to build their brand and reputation, so how do you think it's possible to overtake them in such a short while?." One of the board of directors asked in an annoyed tone.
"Out brand may not compare with them now, but that doesn't mean it will take us 50 years before we can be like them or overthrow them, we can make it happen, and this is my final decision. The creative arts department should work their asses off and get ready for our Fashion show which will be held next month!." The Boss of U&ME said before walking away.
Seeing as he didn't care about their opinion, the board of directors that were not in support of his plans, left him to do what he wanted. But they were waiting for him to fail, so they could tackle him.
While U&ME was being turned upside down by their Boss, things were going on smoothly for FJ's employees. They were already preparing for the Autumn show which would be held in August.
Bai Jun was very pissed off at the fact that she was not involved with the major work in FJ. The other people that were on probation with her, lived better off than her. It was as if she was not visible anymore and no one cared about her feelings.
And as if that was not enough, her so-called husband named Yang Peng recently made it to the news headlines after being seen with another girl.
Yang Peng was the son-in-law of the Bai Family, and he was bound to get some attention from the media. And the photo taken of him and the unidentified lady was suggestive. He had a hand wrapped around the lady with a happy smile on his face.
Despite being married to the last person he would care about, Yang Peng decided to get a girlfriend for himself. And when he appeared in the newspaper because of it, he didn't feel any remorse, because he was not trying to hide it. He was tired of his relationship with Bai Jun even though they never had any interaction.
Yang Peng felt that Bai Jun being his wife, was a taint to his reputation, so he decided to get rid of her by following his mind.
Even though Bai Jun didn't love him, but she will not tolerate him getting caught by the media with another woman, while still being married to her. And that was exactly how Bai Jun felt. She felt ashamed and humiliated that she had to go back to her Bai Family to cry and complain.
Old Mrs. Bai was unhappy with Yang Peng and the Yang family because his actions were a slap to her family's face. Doing something so degrading and being caught on camera was a big shame to them.
"Mum, have you seen the kind of man you picked up for my daughter? Now he has slapped all our faces in the mud!." Bai Fen ranted angrily.
"Why are you screaming and blaming us? I'm sure if Bai Jun had behaved properly, Yang Peng wouldn't have treated her this way." The first daughter-in-law said as she rolled her eyes.
"How is it my daughter's fault for the mistake you made? You couldn't even pick someone capable, and now her youth is ruined, and our family is being made fun of." Bai Fen said angrily while pointing at them.
She couldn't accept the fact that her daughter has been shamed to that extent.
The third daughter-in-law of the Bai family sneered and said, "Don't wag your tail like an animal. Jun is to blame for everything that is happening. If only she didn't confront Yang Peng on the day our families met, then he wouldn't have treated her this way."
"What do you mean?." Old Mrs. Bai asked with a frown.
"What nonsense are you talking about, are you trying to cook up some stories because of your capabilities of picking a good husband for my daughter?." Bai Fen asked while pointing angrily at her
The third daughter-in-law smiled as she glanced at Bai Jun who suddenly became silent. "Bai Jun, why don't you tell your mother and grandmother how you confronted Yang Peng on that day?."
Bai Jun shivered as all attention was now on her.
