605 Chapter 605
Melovin was a luxury brand with more than 100 years of history in France. Melovin group mainly focused on clothing and accessories. Later on, it derived a series of skin care products, which attracted the attention of female consumers from all over the world.
Melovin’s skin care products were based on the concept of plant extraction and advocated for true self. Xia Chaoqun keenly grasped this point. Based on Jiang SE’s action of cutting her hair, he successfully contacted the upper echelons of Melovin in France.
In China, Melovin’s skin care products were a rather well-known luxury. They were already very famous and took up a large portion of Melovin group’s sales every year. If Xia Chaoqun could become the spokesperson for Melovin’s skin care products on Jiang SE’s behalf, coupled with Jiang SE’s reputation, it would be a true ‘strong Alliance’.
It was because of this layer of reason that the few assistants who were initially worried that they would face Xia Chaoqun’s wrath were much more relieved.
Xia Chaoqun’s superb way of handling matters had turned Jiang SE’s crisis into an opportunity. However, with the completion of ” suspect, ” the assistants were still a little apprehensive when they thought about returning to the imperial capital.
“I called Zhang Chi this afternoon. Sister Xia took a plane last night and just returned to the capital today.”
In other words, when Jiang se returned to the imperial capital the next day, she might not have any time to prepare herself. She would have to face Xia Chaoqun directly.
Chen Shan served her some tea and looked at Jiang se with sympathy. sister Xia said that for the next two months, you have to listen to the nutritionist on everything you eat and get your hair back as soon as possible. She also said that she will find someone to ‘take care’ of you until the promotional period of ‘the salvation of God’. She didn’t fly into a rage, but this pressure was much more terrifying than Xia Chaoqun’s rage.
Jiang se had already expected such an outcome. When she heard Chen Shan’s words, she asked, ” “What about you guys?”
Mo Anqi rubbed her face. sister Xia said that we’re not good enough at dealing with this ‘crisis’. She said that we should learn from her.
An assistant took out his phone and checked his schedule.
“He said he’s learning how to be a qualified assistant.”
Even mo Anqi, who had been by Jiang SE’s side for many years, had to come with her for this learning trip. Xia Chaoqun had personally ordered it.
Xia Chaoqun felt that although Jiang se was the one who wanted to do this, Tao cen’s instigation would have made the assistants wary.
Ever since Xia Chaoqun had signed a few assistants to take care of Jiang se, he had been offering her a salary that was several times higher than the assistants of other celebrities in the same industry. For mo Anqi, her annual salary was not any less than that of some third-tier managers. However, she was still working as an assistant. She was still not very mature in terms of her judgment and the way she handled things.
She knew that Tao cen was up to no good, but she did not take the necessary precautions in advance. It was her fault that Huo Zhiming brought it up on the spot. Even if it was necessary for the plot, it was too passive.
After the assistants found out about the ‘outcome’, they reflected on themselves for a long time. Mo Anqi, in particular, was looking forward to this further study.
This proved that Xia Chaoqun did not treat them as simple assistants. Instead, he intended to make them more outstanding so that they could help Jiang se go further and better on this path.
I’ll explain it to sister Chaoqun later.’Study’ will be included in this year’s performance assessment, and there will be a bonus at the end of the year. Jiang SE’s words made the others burst out laughing. After they were done talking about the trivial matters, mo Anqi suddenly recalled something.
“Sese, brother PEI called.” She was a little sympathetic. he might have heard some news. He said that after you’re done filming, you can either go to the Western nine states or wait here for two days. He will come to see you.
During Jiang SE’s filming, no matter how tight the production team tried to keep the news under wraps, there would still be fans waiting outside the set all day long. Some media reporters would even camp outside day and night just to get the most authentic news as soon as possible.
People outside had vaguely heard some rumors about her cutting her hair. However, Huo Zhiming had given the production team strict orders, so no one spread the news for the time being. These reporters only vaguely heard that a major incident had happened during the filming of ” suspect “. It seemed to be related to Jiang se.
PEI Yi had been worried for the past month. He had called her several times, but Jiang se always said that she was fine. This had aroused his suspicion.
On the other hand, Jiang se had reported Xia Chaoqun’s decision to cut her hair as soon as she could. She had not told PEI Yi about it yet. For some reason, she felt a little guilty when she heard mo Anqi’s words.
“Did you tell him that I’m busy?”
She still wanted to find an excuse to delay it for a while. In about a month’s time, her hair would be longer, and she would be more confident when she went to the Western nine provinces to meet PEI Yi.
“He did.” Mo Anqi looked at her nervous face and tried to hold back her laughter.
at that time, everyone in the crew was busy toasting to you and you didn’t have time to answer the phone, so I told brother PEI that you would be busy for a while.
However, PEI Yi did not seem to believe her words.
Mo Anqi did not know if she was imagining things, but PEI Yi did not speak much to anyone other than Jiang se. He seemed rather cold. Perhaps it was because she had been by Jiang SE’s side for many years and had always been very considerate toward her that PEI Yi listened to her.
“He said he’ll call you later.” After saying this, she raised her wrist to look at the time.
“When brother PEI called, it was around eight o ‘clock. Now it’s around ten O’ clock, so he should be busy.”
Before mo Anqi could finish her sentence, Jiang SE’s phone rang.
He had made a video call. Jiang se instinctively hung up on him. Without waiting for PEI Yi to call her again, she dialed his number.
The few assistants tactfully lowered their heads to pack Jiang SE’s luggage. After the makeup artist washed Jiang SE’s face and put on a face mask, she stepped aside and gave Jiang se a small corner of the guest sofa in the hotel room.
“Yi.”
When the call went through, Jiang se called out PEI Yi’s name first. Her voice was a little low.
In her relationship with PEI Yi, she had always been the dominant one. She was calm and composed, and it was rare for her to be so nervous.
He was submissive and affectionate to her, putting her first in everything. He couldn’t even bear to speak loudly to her, let alone lose his temper.
However, the more he acted this way, the more Jiang se felt afraid when she thought about how he might get angry.
PEI Yi had already been very unhappy when Laura had set a lock of her hair on fire during the filming of ‘the salvation of God’.
This time, she had cut her hair for the sake of the movie. The cause of the incident was related to Tao cen’s provocation and Huo Zhiming’s stubbornness. He might get angry.
When she thought of this, Jiang se took a deep breath and softened her voice.
“Anqi said you called me before?”
He hummed in acknowledgment, his voice a little low and emotionless. “You drank?”
PEI Yi knew that she was going to attend the wrapping up party for ‘a suspect’. When she first heard his tone, she subconsciously said, ”
“No, I didn’t,”
Her alcohol tolerance wasn’t very good. Ever since she entered the entertainment industry, Xia Chaoqun had protected her very well. She didn’t usually drink much. At such occasions, she would mostly drink fruit juice or low-alcohol fruit wine as a substitute.
Xia Chaoqun wasn’t by her side at the end-of-production party that night, but Huo Zhiming was still very protective of her. Most of the crew members didn’t make a fuss about her and only drank a little fruit wine. After dinner, she was quickly brought back to the hotel by a few assistants.
If this had happened in the past, she would have answered PEI Yi’s question confidently. However, there was something wrong with his tone tonight. She did not know if it was because he had worked for a while after graduation, but his tone was also stern, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
“I don’t believe you.” let me see, ” he said calmly over the phone.
She was almost fooled by PEI Yi, so she did not dare to let him see her face. She quickly admitted, ”
“I drank a little. It’s just fruit wine.” “It’s true!” He said in the end.
I didn’t answer the video call because I just returned to the hotel. I removed my makeup and put on a face mask.
The more Jiang se said this, the more PEI Yi felt that something was amiss.
PEI Yi was well aware of her personality. If she felt that she was on her side, she would not have emphasized it again and called him when she was not busy. She would not have hung up the video call on purpose and called him.
The crew of ” suspect ” did not know what had happened. The newspapers and magazines were vague about it. Tao cen was in the crew, and she could keep it a secret.
The more she didn’t want him to see her, the more he would think about it.
Nie dan had gone abroad to watch the film “God’s salvation” in advance. Xiang runing, who was in the imperial capital, had informed him that Jiang SE’s manager, Xia Chaoqun, had made a trip to Paris some time ago to discuss the endorsement deal for Carolus ‘shampoo. He heard that it was almost in the bag. When Xia Chaoqun went, he was prepared to sign a contract with Carolus directly. However, the deal was unsuccessful in the end. Instead, they talked about the endorsement deal for Melovin’s skincare products.
Carolus had initially thought highly of Jiang se. However, Tao cen’s agent, Song Yi, had also flown to Paris recently. Her agent had made such a move probably because Tao cen had a chance of getting involved.
PEI Yi was not a fool. He could easily guess that something must have happened to the production team and that it must have something to do with Tao cen. That was why Carolus, who was already a cooked duck, could have escaped.
He kept wondering if she was sick. Was he injured? Or something was wrong.
Every time such a thought came to his mind, he would reject it. If she was really seriously injured, even if she wanted to hide it, this kind of news could not be hidden. According to nie dan, she had a lot of scenes in “suspect “. If she was really seriously injured, there was no way to continue filming this scene, let alone kill off her Green Belt earlier than expected.
Wasn’t she injured? what was the problem that made her unwilling to even let him take a look?
He had originally planned to take a leave of absence to visit her at the production team, but she had refused and even said that she would talk to him about the production team after she was done with her work.
PEI Yi had been waiting for her to take the initiative to talk to him about this matter. However, she had no intention of telling him even now.
wait for me at Huayu city after the movie is over. I’ll take a leave of absence to go back with you.
When he said this, he was not discussing it with Jiang se. Instead, he was telling her about the decision he had made. He thought that if Jiang se rejected him again, she was probably avoiding him on purpose. If that was the case, she would not have stayed where she was and waited for him to accompany her back to the capital.
As expected, the moment he finished speaking, Jiang se quickly said, ” “No need, Anqi has already booked a plane ticket for me. I’ll be flying back to the capital tomorrow morning. Sister Chaoqun gave me two months of leave, and the exam results are already out. After the interview, I will go to the Western nine states to accompany you next month.”
Afraid that PEI Yi would reject her, she had already thought of a set of words in her mind to convince him.
However, she did not have to waste her breath. PEI Yi seemed to have already been appeased by her. really? ”
Jiang se heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s true!”
She did not catch the hidden intention behind his calm tone and thought that he had really convinced PEI Yi. He decided to let his guard down or lower her guard. PEI Yi then asked, ”
“What time is the flight tomorrow?”
She beckoned to the busy mo Anqi and pressed down on the microphone, gesturing for her to immediately find the earliest flight back to the capital from Hua Yu. Before mo Anqi could say anything, she said to PEI Yi, ”
the flight is at half-past seven, and I’ll be back at around nine. You’re too tired to rush over tonight.
PEI Yi seemed a little regretful, but he still agreed to her suggestion in the end. then remember to send me a message after you return to the capital. “Sese, don’t make me worry, okay?” he said in a gentle tone.
Jiang se could hear a hint of pleading in his words of concern. He was so smart that he might have guessed that she was hiding something from him. However, he still allowed her to be a little willful, which made Jiang se feel even guiltier.
“Alright. Yi, it’s really nothing.” She promised her again and again. After hanging up the phone, before she could catch her breath, mo Anqi confirmed her schedule with her.
“Sese, do you really want to change the flight ticket to 7:30 tomorrow?”
Mo Anqi had booked a night flight for Jiang se. There would be very few people at the airport at that time. Even if someone managed to take a picture of Jiang se, it would be easy to bribe them.
When they returned to the capital at around nine O ‘clock, the airport was crowded with people. If they caused a commotion, things might become more troublesome.
After all, it was easy to talk to the media, but with so many people, it was inevitable that fans would take photos.
Jiang SE’s current short hair was not suitable for public appearances. If she did that, she would create news that would be difficult to suppress.
“There’s no other way,”
Jiang se shook her head. Since she had lied to PEI Yi, she would need to lie even more to cover up her lie. It was not suitable for PEI Yi to see her in this state. He might get angry.
“I’ll give sister Chaoqun a call and let her know.”
Mo Anqi nodded and went back to her work.
Xia Chaoqun was still in the office when Jiang se called back to the capital. She had just returned from overseas and there were a lot of things that she needed to deal with back home. When she heard Jiang SE’s call to change her flight to the next day, Xia Chaoqun’s tone remained calm. It was as if what mo Anqi had done to make things difficult for her was nothing in her eyes.
