Just then, Tang Xi’s cell phone rang. She took a look at the caller ID and found it was a strange number. She raised her eyebrows and answered the call, “Hello, it’s Tang Xi.”
“Xixi, please help me.” Qin Xinying’s imploring voice rang out through the line.
Tang Xi frowned. Why did Qin Xinying call her? Was she begging her to help her? But the video had been released. What she had done can’t be undone. The public wouldn’t tolerate a despicable person like her.
Qiao Liang took a look at Tang Xi who shook her head at him and walked to a corner, saying coldly, “Do you know what you’re talking about? I don’t think I can help you.”
Tang Xi pretended not to understand what Qin Xinying was talking about.
Qin Xinying remained silent for a moment and then she said, “It’s not convenient for me to explain on the phone. We’d better talk face to face. I know you’re in Paris. I’m here too. Let’s meet.”
Tang Xi’s eyes had a cold gleam. What did Qin Xinying want to do? Was she still trying to use her?
“I don’t have the time today. I’ll call you when I’m available.” Tang Xi didn’t bother to waste time with Qin Xinying and was about to hang up, when Qin Xinying suddenly said, “Wait a minute.”
Tang Xi put the cell phone against her ear again, asking, “What?”
“Xixi, look at the Microblog. Then you’ll know what happened to me. I hope you can come out and clarify for me. Now only you can help me. We’ve been good friends for so many years. You don’t want to see me ruined, right?” Qin Xinying tried to speak as gently as she could, with the hope that Tang Xi might help her for the sake of their former friendship.
Hearing these shameless words, Tang Xi gave a sarcastic smile. She grunted in response, saying, “I’ll take a look.” Then she hung up the call.
Tang Xi continued to read the posts in Microblog but didn’t comment on them.
In a short while, many media groups had called Tang Xi to seek her confirmation. They didn’t have Tang Xi’s phone number, so they called her office. Assistant Wang who was sitting in Tang Xi’s office was almost driven mad by the calls. In the end, he unplugged the phone line and called Tang Xi with his cell phone, asking for her instructions.
“It’s alright. Don’t deny nor admit. Let things ferment.” Tang Xi pursed her lips, saying, “Pay attention to the stock prices of the Empire Group and the Qin’s Group. When the latter’s stock price falls, purchase their shares anonymously.”
Qiao Liang who was sitting beside Tang Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He looked at Tang Xi who smiled at him and continued to speak with Assistant Wang. Then she hung up the call and said to Qiao Liang, “Qin Xinying called me, asking me to help her out, but I plan to stab her in the back instead.”
Qiao Liang rubbed at Tang Xi’s hair and said gently, “I guess you must feel disgusted.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled. “She wanted to meet me. I think she would probably beg me to clarify for her in the Microblog. I’ve agreed to meet her.”
Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and frowned. “She bade Xu Fang to incite Kloss Lov to sexually harass you. Do you still want to help her?”
Tang Xi smiled and his eyes sparkled with a dark gleam. She put her hand into Qiao Liang’s and said with a smile, “I agreed to meet her, but I won’t help her out. I gave my work to her, because I took her as my friend, but now it’s different. She not only stole my work, but also stole others’. Such a person shouldn’t stay in the fashion circle.”
When the two of them arrived at the hotel, Tang Xi received Xiao Jing’s call. “We’re in the third-floor Chinese restaurant. Come upstairs.”
When they reached the Chinese restaurant, Xiao Jing was already waiting there. They walked over and Xiao Jing came up to them, saying, “They have arrived, including He Wanzhou and He Wanning. They said they are accompanying their sister to Paris, but I think they came here to support you. Rourou, are you glad to hear this?”
Tang Xi smiled. She didn’t expect that she could make so many friends after she came back to life. When they walked into the private room, He Wanyi had rushed up and hugged her. “My girl, you gave me a surprise! I didn’t expect you would hold your own fashion show in Paris Fashion Week. I’m so proud of you. I think you’re like a legend, a legend about how an ugly duckling turned into a white swan.”
Tang Xi reached out to pat He Wanyi’s back, took her hand and walked in, saying with a smile, “I don’t think I can make it without your support. Without your support, I wouldn’t have been able to hold my own fashion show in Paris Fashion Week.”
Tang Xi looked at He Wanzhou and the others, saying with a smile, “Brother He, I really appreciate that you came here to support me.”
He Wanzhou shrugged. “I had planned to take some actresses and actors of my company here, but Wanyi said, a new brand needs to remain mysterious and she, an A-lister would be quite enough, so I didn’t take them with me.”
Tang Xi thanked her, pulled a chair out and sat beside Qiao Liang. She turned her eyes to Ning Yan, saying, “Director Ning, thank you for agreeing to shoot the promotion clip for me. I owe you one!”
“Well, that’s just because we happily cooperated last time. You should give me a greater surprise this time.” Ning Yan said with a straight face.
Tang Xi smiled. Thinking of her plan, she nodded and said confidently, “You can rest assured, Director Ning. I plan to have two queens star the promotion clip, the queen of the entertainment circle and the queen of the business circle. That would be a great surprise for people!”
“Oh?” Ning Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xi.
Tang Xi took a look at Qiao Liang who said, “She plans to invite Tang Xi, the princess of the Empire Group to star in this promotion clip.”
Ning Yan whistled. “Tang Xi? She doesn’t lack money. Will she accept your invitation? Besides...” Ning Yan cast a sly glance at Qiao Liang and said with a smile, “Aren’t you afraid your boyfriend Qiao Liang will rekindle his past feelings with her? Then you will lose him!”
Tang Xi grunted in response and nodded, saying seriously, “Yes, so I’ve decided that neither Qiao Liang or I will show up at the shooting set.”
