John thought that Charlene’s suggestion made sense too. Gu Shaoting was all-powerful and very well known in the Chinese business world, but he was relatively unknown overseas. He probably didn’t have many opportunities to make friends with business big shots outside of China.

He could take this opportunity to help Gu Shaoting out.

John pondered for a moment before he said, “Alright, I’ll talk to him and see if he’s interested…”

“Dad, it’s okay. I’ll let Brother Gu know. He’ll be very happy.” Charlene didn’t let John finish before she interrupted.

She fought for this opportunity for her Brother Gu. He would be grateful to her.

It would be so great if her Brother Gu stayed in France instead of going home.

The thought of him leaving made her feel a little sad.

“Go ahead then.” John said helplessly.

Charlene turned around and immediately called Gu Shaoting.

“Ring, ring… Ring, ring…” His phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.

“Who is it?” Gu Shaoting’s cello-like voice sounded.

Charlene’s heart fluttered. She had to calm herself down before she said, “Brother Gu, it’s me. I’m have some good news to tell you.”

Charlene paused as she spoke, as if to keep Gu Shaoting in suspense.

Gu Shaoting was a little surprised when he heard that it was Charlene. She had probably changed her number after she returned to France, which was why the caller ID on his phone read “unknown number”.

He frowned and asked, “What good news?”

“So, there’s a business banquet the day after tomorrow, which will be attended by many big wigs in the business world. My father happened to have two invitations. He’s giving one to you.” Charlene spoke carefully, worried that Gu Shaoting would reject her.

Gu Shaoting kept quiet for a while. This was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, he hadn’t yet established himself here. It would definitely help his company if he made friends with more businesspeople here. It could help him expand his overseas business.

“Okay, I happen to be free that night too. Please thank Mr. John for me. I’ll arrange for Mr. Zhang to pick up the invitation later.” Gu Shaoting said.

“Okay, see you then.” Charlene hung up reluctantly.

Charlene held on to her phone, but her heart was filled with joy. She pursed her lips but was thinking about how she would pick out a dress that would wow everyone at the banquet and make her Brother Gu look at her differently.

She decided to act right away, so she got dressed, took her bag and left the house.

She had a boutique that she liked, one of the best in France. It was a boutique that people couldn’t get an appointment with despite their wealth. But the staff there welcomed Charlene the moment they saw her; she was a big spender.

“Miss Charlene, how can I help you today?” A staff immediately walked up to welcome her.

“I have to attend a dinner party the day after tomorrow. Please get Jenny to pick out a designer gown for me. Something that will wow everyone at the party.” Charlene was quite flamboyant, and she liked to be the center of attention.

“Okay, please wait a moment.” The staff went to find Jenny.

Jenny was the boutique’s most valuable asset. She had a sharp eye. Everything she picked out would start a trend.

Shortly after, Jenny walked over with a box. “Miss Charlene, what a coincidence. This gown was made for you. When I got it, the first person I thought of was you.”

Charlene smiled; she enjoyed such compliments and flattery. “That’s great, I need it.”

“I guarantee that you will be the belle of the ball.” Jenny said as she carefully handed the box to Charlene.
