Apparently, at the mention of the ace manager, she knew that she really could not underestimate his resources and, hence, kept mum.
A Milan Fashion Show’s banquet was scheduled that night of Louis Vuitton’s special stage, which would be held at the famous art shrine, Royal Palace of Milan.
Not only was it the seat of government in the Italian city of Milan for centuries before, it had currently become an important cultural center with a glorious history, creating new wonders to the art scene.
The guests who would be attending the banquet that night were all famous and influential figures from a variety of fields and industries.
World-class models, top international fashion experts, Italian designers, Milan Fashion Week organizers, top designers, and such would all be present.
The guest line-up for the banquet comprised the rich and the famous.
Even the top domestic artists were on the list of invited.
Lin Zhi was so excited that she almost shed tears at her painstakingly obtained entry ticket.
It was a great honor for any artist to be invited to the Royal Palace fashion banquet!
It was akin to taking a step into the fashion world’s star-studded Hall of Fame.
As one of Louis Vuitton’s engaged artists, she rushed to the studio to do her styling.
Hence, another unexpected encounter was inevitable between her and Yun Shishi.
At the sight of her, Qin Zhou instantly switched into his sarcastic mode. “Oh, my. Who is this? I don’t remember her name; what is it, again? Shishi, is her name on the invited guest list for tonight’s banquet?”
His charge feigned ignorance, too. “I don’t recall seeing it.”
“Oh, dear! Look at my poor memory; how could I have forgotten? For tonight’s banquet, only invited guests and media partners will be present. While the former are VIPs invited by the officiating host, the media partners… well, some people, who didn’t receive an invitation card, will sneak into the venue in the name of representing a media organization.”
He paused and then sneered. “No wonder I didn’t see her name on the invited guest list! It turns out that someone has snuck in here in the name of representing a media org!”
That statement dealt a heavy blow to Lin Zhi.
Despite her face darkening into an awful shade, she feigned gracefulness as she argued, “You must be mistaken, Mr. Qin! I’m here as the spokesperson of Louis Vuitton’s new spring collection; it’s nothing like what you’ve just said!”
The man, however, gave an indifferent laugh. “Oh, my. Look at you getting all smug just for being the brand’s new spring collection spokesperson; how impressive!”
Left completely speechless, she wanted to rebut but found all her arguments unable to hold water in front of the man.
No longer wanting to humiliate herself in front of this man, she stomped her feet angrily on the ground and left to change into her gown.
Yun Shishi secretly thought to herself, Even after seeing so much of the outside world, my manager’s tongue is still the most poisonous one of all!
“Hurry up and change!” chided her manager.
She, thus, entered the changing room with the assistant holding her gown.
After taking a look at the time on his watch, he walked to the balcony and made a phone call to the superstar to arrange their meeting time.
Lin Zhi came out from the changing room once she was done putting on her gown. Upon seeing that the manager was absent and her nemesis was still in the changing room, she suddenly came up with a scheme.
She, therefore, summoned her assistant and whispered in her ear, “Remember: Act fast while Qin Zhou’s not here.”
“I got it; don’t worry!” The assistant confidently patted her chest.
