Chapter 104: Didn’t Notice you were going to Sit Down.
Chapter 104
Li Zhen smiled and said, "I'm currently serving as the spokesperson and image ambassador with full authority to handle external communications for Honghai Group, and am fully responsible for liaising with artists regarding the group."
Of course she wouldn't say that she was just a small role sent by the company to placate artists.
It was just for the convenience of artists to easily find someone from Honghai to connect with anytime.
Ai Ru was stunned, then took another look at the elegant woman in front of her and asked, "May I have your surname?"
"I'm Li Zhen of the Li family."
"Ms. Li, please accept my apologies for my rudeness earlier."
"It's fine, I'm very forgiving..."
Ai Ru: ...You're quite direct.
Dong Wanwan rolled her eyes to the side. She knew Li Zhen's background - this was just a small hand model sent out by the company. If she didn't know Li Zhen's details, she would have believed her.
Just then, another car slowly pulled over.
Li Zhen glanced at the license plate. This should be Lu Na.
After the car stopped, a tall but very young lady got out. She hurriedly took a sun umbrella, carefully opened the back door, and held the umbrella high to wait for the person in the car.
A pair of high heels stepped on the ground. Lu Na got out of the car, her chin slightly raised, her gaze sweeping past everyone with a scrutinizing look.
With such a condescending attitude, Dong Wanwan directly rolled her eyes.
Li Zhen pretended not to see it and went up to greet her, "Hello Ms. Lu Na, I'm Li Zhen from Honghai."
"Hello." Lu Na only extended a tiny fingertip to lightly shake hands with Li Zhen.
Li Zhen: ...
With such arrogance, she really lives up to being a queen of acting.
Lu Na's eyes lingered on Li Zhen, looking at her with a condescending gaze. Beautiful women naturally feel hostile towards other women who attract more attention than themselves.
Lu Na retracted her gaze and spoke in the tone of an old Buddhist monk, "Let's go..."
Only someone like Li Zhen could handle this - if it was anyone else, they might subconsciously respond with "Oh, Old Monk".
Li Zhen led everyone to a nearby hotel.
Dong Wanwan and Lu Na would both be staying at the hotel nearby these days. Honghai was always generous and booked a 5-star hotel for them.
Lu Na had far more luggage than Dong Wanwan. From the corner of her eye, Li Zhen saw Lu Na's assistant dragging four suitcases, with several large bags on her shoulders as well.
Although the girl looked about six feet tall, she still seemed to be struggling.
Li Zhen deliberately slowed down two steps and walked to the girl's side, gripping the handle of one of the suitcases. "Let me take one for you."
"No need, no need." The girl quickly shook her head, gripping the suitcase without letting go. She grinned and said, "I can handle it, thank you."
"What's your name? I'm Li Zhen." Li Zhen instantly felt great affection for this tall girl.
"Xu Qian." Xu Qian looked at Li Zhen sincerely with her big eyes.
Li Zhen nodded and went back to lead the way.
She walked at the very front of the group, her white stiletto heels stepping lightly and elegantly.
Lu Na let out a snort and said to Xu Qian, "Remember to tell Honghai's people later that I don't like this woman. Have them change the liaison for me."
"But she seems quite nice. If we change for no reason, it'll cause trouble for her, right?" Xu Qian pursed her lips.
"You actually talk back to me!" Lu Na's brows furrowed tightly, not expecting her assistant to speak up for that woman ahead.
Lu Na raised her hand gracefully, but used force with her fingertips to poke Xu Qian's forehead. "Are you her assistant or mine!"
Lu Na and Xu Qian fell behind the others by a short distance.
But it wasn't exactly quiet.
The few people ahead turned back to look.
Dong Wanwan commented in a low voice without much expression, "Just like the rumors online say, this is how she acts in private."
Li Zhen couldn't stand watching any longer and walked over to the two.
Seeing Li Zhen's manner, Dong Wanwan laughed and said, "Huh, who does she think she is, able to meddle in everything? She thinks she can control Lu Na too?"
Dong Wanwan crossed her arms, standing in place with Ai Ru to watch the show.
Right as Li Zhen approached, Lu Na glared over fiercely. "Don't rush me, I'm teaching my assistant something. Didn't you see?"
"Ms. Lu Na, please feel free to continue if you don't mind your current behavior being uploaded online." Li Zhen said unhurriedly.
Lu Na's expression turned cold. "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"
"No, Ms. Lu Na, you misunderstood. To your left rear, there is a sneaky man holding up a video camera..." Li Zhen didn't finish her sentence.
Lu Na's expression worsened even more. She coughed and resumed her gentle, graceful demeanor. "Let's go, stop standing around."
Li Zhen smiled and gestured, "This way..."
Lu Na went ahead. Xu Qian was grateful to Li Zhen for helping her out of the situation.
Dong Wanwan was somewhat disappointed for not seeing the drama she was hoping for.
Li Zhen led everyone to the hotel to put their things down, then accompanied them to the makeup room in the photography studio.
After Lu Na and Dong Wanwan's shoots were done, Li Zhen finally got her moment to shine. She could sit in a lounge chair in the studio, drinking milk tea she had just gone out to buy.
Her colleagues in the advertising department looked on enviously.
The large studio had many different sets, and the models from the advertising department never stopped moving, always busy.
Against Li Zhen's leisurely appearance, it made everyone else not even want to keep working hard to earn money. They could only feel jealous.
The last time someone from the company was arranged to liaise with artists was Lin Si. She was puzzled and asked, "How can Li Zhen relax and sit there? Were these two artists very easy to deal with?"
Zhang Yucui sat nearby waiting for her next flat lay shoot and said, "She's got backers, of course she can do whatever she wants. Maybe the higher-ups at the company spoke to the artists so they can't boss her around."
"You're implying something there..." Lin Si turned to look at her.
Zhang Yucui didn't say any more.
Ever since she was cornered by Li Zhen and Lu Yanming at the hotel last time, she hadn't slept well for a single day since.
And now Xiao Tai was also uncontactable, she didn't know what was going on.
Recently at the company, Zhang Yucui avoided talking whenever possible. She also kept her distance from Li Zhen, Qiao Yi and the others, afraid to provoke them in case they brought up things about her and Xiao Tai in the past.
When Lin Si didn't hear a response for a long time, she didn't ask further.
But she felt unhappy inside.
Why was it that last time she was ordered around to exhaustion by the celebrity she was liaising for the ad shoot, yet Li Zhen could be so relaxed?
Feeling unbalanced, Lin Si walked over to Li Zhen's side. "Li Zhen, everyone's busy working, why are you the only one slacking off here?"
"We each have our roles. I finished my tasks, of course I can sit..."
Lin Si glanced at the chair next to Li Zhen, and said as she sat down, "Then I'll also..."
She had just made a sound when she plopped down, landing heavily on the ground.
The chair under her vanished into thin air?
"Ah!"
Lin Si's buttocks slammed painfully onto the floor.
Looking back, it was Fei Zhao casually lifting up the chair in his hand, glaring at her. "Sorry, didn't notice you were about to sit down."
Lin Si grimaced in pain from her sore bottom.
He was clearly lying through his teeth. How could he possibly have not seen her about to sit? He did that on purpose.
But Lin Si didn't dare say more.
Because standing behind Fei Zhao was Mr. Lu.
