Chapter 162 Fanboy
———-
"What do you mean there's been a mistake?"
Ning Mei was furious. She had just changed into An Qing's personal clothing and arrived at the studio room. However, when she came on set, the photographer had told her all the models needed had done their shoot and Ning Mei didn't have to take hers.
The photographer, David sighs. He sets the photography camera down and looks at Ning Mei.
"Miss Ning, my apologies, but it is CEO Wu's words."
Ning Mei clench her fists at her side. "CEO Wu? How come I was not aware of this matter?"
"What's going on here?"
A woman's voice sound from behind Ning Mei. Both the model and photographer looks in the direction of the woman. She was 172cm and was dressed very fashionably.
She more a beige fur coat with black skinny jeans and opened toe ankle boots. Her hair was in a high, sleek back pony tail. At her side we're two woman dressed in white suit and two masculine bodyguards.
Seeing the woman, Ning Mei frowns. She's never met this pretty woman before. However, unlike Ning Mei, David knew who this woman is. As much as he doesn't like her, he still needs to be polite. He was still on the clock after all.
"CEO Chen."
Hearing the name, Ning Mei's eyes widen in shock. She looks at the woman and sized her up. So, this unknown woman is the CEO of An Qing, Chen Limei... the designer and founder of De L'amour. Looking back up at Chen Limei, she smiles.
"Hello CEO Chen, my name is Ning Mei."
Chen Limei looks at Ning Mei. She had also sized Ning Mei, but hearing the girls name, her eyes widen. So this girl is Ning Xingyu's little sister. Her lip curl upwards into a beautiful smile.
"It's nice to meet you, Ning Mei."
Seeing that Ning Mei is wearing one of her own designs, she smiles more. The dress was all white with silver glitters on it. She had the dress redesigned after seeing the sketch sent for De L'amour.
"The dress fits you well."
She said, then she looks at David with a frown, "David, why is this model not being photographed? She's modeling my design."
David: "CEO Chen, its like this. My—"
Chen Limei: "I don't care what you have to say. I want this model photographed now. Are you suggesting my brand is not good enough for Beauty? hmm?"
David: "N-no..."
Ning Mei sneers at David. Who does he think he is? He was only a puny photographer and he dares to take back to An Qing's CEO.
Chen Limei looks at David and she felt even more annoyed. Without looking at her bodyguards, she lift her hand and snap her finger.
"Toss this photographer out and get a new one."
"Right away, CEO Chen." Both bodyguards steps forward. Their hands reaching out to grab David.
"Seems like there are still people with no shame."
A deep voice sounds from behind them. All eyes turn to look in the direction of the voice.
A man of 183cm stood with both his hands inside his pockets. He wore a navy fitted tailored suit and a white dress shirt inside. His looks were pleasing to the eyes, especially his gray hair that matched well with his 32 year old self.
Chen Limei frown when she saw the man, while Ning Mei's shoulders slump down. David, however felt relief, his eyes lit up and he walks to the man.
"CEO Wu!"
Wu Jing nod his head at David, then his eyes glare at the people making a scene at his Beauty. When his eyes landed on Chen Limei, he sneers.
"Miss Chen, can I ask why you would make a scene inside my company?"
Chen Limei cross her arms and looks right back at Wu Jing, "Ask your photographer."
Wu Jing arch a brow and looks at David, "What happened?"
"CEO Wu, I did what you said, but they made a scene out of it. CEO Chen ordered her men to have me replace."
Hearing this, Wu Jing's expression darken. He looks at Chen Limei, then Ning Mei. Seeing the dress on Ning Mei, he smirks. No wonder Chen Limei wanted David replaced.
However, looking at Chen Limei again, he smiles, "Miss Chen, its just as my photographer said. Beauty has already found a model for the cover of our magazine." He looks at Ning Mei and smiles, "Miss Ning, I do apologize for the misunderstanding."
"...."
Both Ning Mei and Chen Limei we're dumbfounded. So they made a scene for nothing? The photographer had been speaking the truth. But what now? Ning Mei wasn't going to get the chance to model? What about Chen Limei's design?
Ning Mei clench her fist and steps up, "CEO Wu, how can you do this? I was personally invited here."
Wu Jing looks at Ning Mei and he was speechless. She was personally invited here? When did he, the CEO and owner of Beauty every personally invited her?
"When did I invite you?"
"...."
Hearing his question, Ning Mei was flabbergasted. Realizing what she had said, she wished a hole would appear so she hide in it. How could she say something like? To be personally invited meant Wu Jing was the one who invited the person.
Wu Jing sighs, "If possible, I would like to ask you both to leave. My model will be here soon."
Just when Chen Limei wanted to say something, Wu Jing's assistant walks up to the man and whispers something to him. He nod his head and looks at Chen Limei, "It seems my model is here. I won't be able to escort the both of you out, so, if you'll excuse me."
He didn't wait for a response and quickly turns to David with a big smile.
"Get everything ready."
Chen Limei: "..."
Ning Mei: "..."
Both woman were dumbfounded. Their bodies froze to the ground, not knowing what to do or say. Chen Limei was angry. How can Wu Jing treat her this way? Does he not remember that if she wants, she can stop all De L'amour's sponsorship to Beauty?
Ning Mei on the other hand was raging with anger. Her face turned red as she clench her teeth. Just who is this model that took her chance to be in the top ten?
*click*
Just then, the double doors to the studio opens. Everyone ahead turn to the new guest.
"Haa—"
Seeing the person, they all suck in a mouthful of air. Everyone knows who this person is. This person is like a painting. A beautiful painting that suddenly came to life.
Walking through the doors, the woman's lightly curled black hair bounce with each step she takes. She wore a long, countess dress the color of the dark night sky. The diamond choker on her fair skin made her even more dashing. Resemblance to a graceful fairy, but at the same almost like an enchantress...
Even with her light makeup, her beauty is still natural and peerless. Making any women who see her can't help but feel jealousy.
Ning Mei watched the girl in jealousy and envy. She had thought the her in the white dress was already good enough! However seeing the dress that made hers look like trash, she sneers at Chen Limei.
How dare this woman look down on her! She is the daughter of the Ning family! To give her such a ugly dress....
At the same time, Chen Limei was oblivious to Ning Mei, because her mind was focused of the sudden woman. Never had she ever encounter this person face to face. But she knows the name of this person well.
If possible, she'd even like this woman to model her designs on the runway!
Not caring about the two bimbos, the woman walks to Wu Jing and she smiles with her teeth.
"Wu Jing."
Wu Jing looks at the woman. His heart soften knowing she actually came. But seeing her smile, he felt the inside of him melting away, but he steadies himself and remains calm.
He smiles to her, like a fanboy meeting his idol for the first time.
"Han Yue Ling."
