My work with Mai Qi was going well. On the other hand, the news that Old Master Jing disproved of me spread like wildfire. There were so many people waiting to see me fail. I had stepped on many people’s toes to preserve my own dignity. Just like the people Mai Qi’s father told us to work on, I had a lot of dark history.
Thankfully, I didn’t care about the outside comments. Because the person in my heart didn’t care.
I was certain that Jing Tian and I would have a bright future together. We would stay with each other for a long time, sharing ups and downs. I would help him when he was down and he would pick me up when I needed it. Instead of being separated on both ends of heaven, it was better to go down to hell together. Jing Tian was right, as long as we were together, it didn’t matter what the rest of the world think.
Therefore, no matter how the outside world mocked me, Mai Qi and I focused on our work.
…
At the university library, we focused on our homework. Mai Qi suddenly praised, “Nanxing, you are my role model.” She reached out and pinched my face. “Your face is so thick~”
I smacked her hand away. I gloated. “For love, one is willing to do anything. When you fall in love, your face will be thicker than mine!”
Mai Qi giggled, “You’re really so thick-skinned!” I ignored her and focused on my thesis.
“Xiao Qing, you’ll definitely be chosen. You should go.”
“This is a new modeling agency. Can they be trusted?”
“Don’t worry about that, I’ve checked everything. The boss of the company is the young madam of the Jing Family. She is backed by the Jing Family. So there is no need to worry about the company resources.”
“You mean the one who just got married? The pregnant one?”
“Yes. Her name is Nanyang, she is the daughter of the Nan Family. She is a student at the art school and majors in film and television programming. So it’s understandable that she has started a modeling agency.”
“But…”
“Why the but? If we don’t seize this opportunity, we won’t get it next time. With your capability, you’ll definitely be accepted. This company has huge potential, you mustn’t miss out!”
“But I heard many bad rumors about this new young madam. She was arrested before because she had pushed her friends… to do bad things.”
“You need to stop reading those gossip mags. The Jing Family has already held a press conference to explain everything. The incident has nothing to do with Miss Nanyang. The culprit was her classmate and she was dragged into it because they were jealous of her. Let me tell you, I’ve met her in real life. She is gentle and modest. She isn’t anything like the person reported.”
The other person was silent.
“Stop hesitating, we’ll go with you, okay?”
Mai Qi and I stopped working and shared a look. Nanyang has opened a company? A modeling agency?
Mai Qi’s fingers flew on her keyboard. Then she turned her laptop around. I saw Nanyang’s name on the company page.
This was a new modeling company and they were recruiting new male and female models. Mai Qi was speechless. “She is doing her dirty work so openly now?”
I touched my nose. “You are overthinking it. She just wants to open a modeling agency. There’s nothing illegal with that.” Mai Qi gave me a side-long glance.
I smiled. “Alright. In any case, we should observe for now. No one will believe you without evidence anyway. If you’re that worried, have some people pay attention to the agency.”
