Lawrence would ask the Fashion Paris magazine to introduce The Queen at most, but now he had agreed to write a report on The Queen by himself!
Chu Ling was not excited at Lawrence’s promise though. He looked at Lawrence with a faint smile and shook his head. “That’s not enough. At least… you should give me a special issue.”
“A special issue?” Lawrence frowned. There had never been such a precedent for Fashion Paris. If they did… Lawrence gazed deeply at Chu Ling. “Are you short of money?”
Tang Xi, “…” You guessed right!
Chu Ling turned up the corners of his mouth. “Yes, I owe tens of millions of dollars. Are you going to agree or not?”
“Okay.” Lawrence laughed. “But provided there are works that can move me. Otherwise, no way.”
Chu Ling snapped his fingers. “Deal! Now go in and take a seat.” Then he asked a waiter to lead Lawrence and Carl into the show field.
After they entered the show field, Tang Xi looked at Carl up and down. “It turns out that you know Lawrence and Carl! I never heard you mention this. Why do you keep such a low-profile?”
She had been smug that she could invite Lawrence and Carl to this show. To her surprise, Chu Ling was Alvin who was a good friend of Lawrence and Carl! If she had known that earlier, she wouldn’t need to persuade them to come to this show with the identity of Tang Xi. Chu Ling could easily invite them here!
Having no idea what Tang Xi was thinking, Chu Ling cast her an indifferent glance. “It’s not a big deal.” Then he stared at Tang Xi warningly. “Don’t tell anyone else I’m Alvin ,understood?”
“Why?!” Tang Xi’s eyes sparkled with a sly gleam. “With such a big shot, no, a king of fashion in my company, I should take you as my trump card. Otherwise, it’ll be a big waste! So I’ve decided…”
“No way!” Chu Ling glanced at her. “There will be a lot of trouble if I show up with the identity of Alvin. Do you still remember the situation the first time you met me? If someone knows that I’m in your company, your company will be ruined.”
Tang Xi frowned and gazed deeply at Chu Ling. She had no intention to pry into his privacy. She was actually not very close to Chu Ling. They worked together merely because of Qiao Liang. Chu Ling agreed to help her, partly because of Qiao Liang and partly because she had saved him, so…
Tang Xi smiled. “You’re my trump card, so of course I have to carefully hide you. Trump card has to be played last.”
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows. He was surprised that Tang Xi would give up so easily and didn’t even continue to ask him. He was relieved though.
“Okay, there are too many people here, and perhaps some journalists will sneak in. I’m going into the show field.”
Tang Xi frowned and asked him, “Hey, how many identities on earth do you have? I heard those models call you by a different name just now!”
“Well, the more identities you have, the safer you will be.” Chu Ling smiled and turned to walk into the show field.
Gazing at his back, Tang Xi turned up the corners of her mouth. “Then at least you should change your face every time you change your name. Otherwise, people will find out about the truth.”
Seeing that the guests were almost all present, Tang Xi frowned. As she expected… there weren’t many people who attended the first fashion show of The Queen.
However, there were still journalists asking them questions. Tang Xi didn’t want to expose that she was the boss of The Queen, while Chu Ling didn’t want to expose himself in the media either, so he didn’t want to act as the spokesman. In the end, everyone turned their eyes to one person.
Jin Han frowned. “No way. Don’t look at me.”
Li Manyan curled her lips. “Come on, don’t be like this. President Chu has said he was not the designer, so he didn’t want to speak on the stage, and President Xiao will serve as our model, so she didn’t have the time. Besides, President Xiao said she didn’t want people to know she was the boss of The Queen, and… you’re the most outstanding one among the rest of us.”
Jin Han raised his eyebrows and took a look at Li Manyan. “Me?”
Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, I mean among the male staff at our company. I’m not kidding. You and President Chu are the most handsome men of our company and you’re also our company’s designer, so you’re the best person for the job. Jin Han, be our spokesman and handle those journalists, please~”
Jin Han frowned and Tang Xi smiled and continued, “If you successfully accomplish this task, I promise I’ll give you and Li Manyan five days off. What do you think?”
“Deal.” Jin Han immediately answered.
Tang Xi smiled. She knew Jin Han would agree as long as she used Li Manyan as the bait.
Jin Han answered the questions of the journalists and the fashion show was formally started.
As colorful lights shot skywards from the bottom of the lake, the uniquely-designed stage appeared dazzling. The weather was good today, so the moon and stars could be clearly seen and were reflected on the lake. On such a beautiful night, The Queen’s first fashion show began.
The models were ready. As the music rang out, Tang Xi high fived with the first model and said with a smile, “Go!”
A beam of light shone on the model. With every step she made, the light changed color. Without a single mistake the light fell on her body. When the first model walked past the first third of the runway, the second model came out, and a beam of light of a different color covered her.
Tang Xi’s heart was beating fast. She looked at the perfect performance of the two models and gave a satisfactory smile.
Li Manyan, standing beside Tang Xi, trembled with excitement. “So good, so good! The lighting engineer is awesome! How did he managed to capture the position of the models so easily?!”
The corner of Tang Xi’s eyes twitched. As for the lighting engineer, there was a little “accident” with him yesterday…
Thinking of that “accident”, Tang Xi almost couldn’t keep her smile.
“Lighting engineer?” Chu Ling frowned and turned his eyes to Tang Xi. “Aren’t the lighting effects automatic?”
“Automatic? How can an automatic light capture the positions of models?” Tang Xi looked at Chu Ling helplessly and the corner of her eyes twitched. “Don’t tell me you didn’t hire a lighting engineer.”
“You mean he has to capture the positions of models and then shoot beams of light over them?”
