Ning Li was actually not very interested in George’s proposal.
She had more important things to deal with now.
“I’ll be leaving in a while.”
She said.
Obviously, George knew what she was going to do. Recalling the expression of the man sitting below the stage, he said mockingly, “You’re the absolute focus tonight. Everyone will be scrambling to meet you. Why are you leaving?”
Ning Li rubbed the space between her eyebrows.
How would he know how hard it was to coax Lu Huaiyu?!
“Let’s talk about this later–”
Ning Li said, intending on walking out.
However, the moment she pushed the door open, countless flashlights lit up!
She frowned slightly and narrowed her eyes.
“Ning!”
“Look over here! Ning!”
“Ning! Can you tell me about the inspiration for tonight’s Night of Thorns?”
All kinds of voices were heard.
Only then did Ning Li realize that she was surrounded by all kinds of media.
Countless reporters with long guns and short cannons were waiting for her here.
Ever since the G&S official blog had released the poster of the Crown of Thorns yesterday, the news that Ning would be publicly appearing at the show had attracted the attention of countless people.
Several media outlets had already made ample preparations, just waiting for today.
The fact was that Ning’s appearance was already big news. What’s more, this person was Ning Li!
How could they let such a hot topic go?
Therefore, they had all been waiting here for a long time.
Just then, Lin Fengmian walked over from behind.
Seeing this scene, his brows furrowed slightly.
Sensing his arrival, the reporters started to take photos of him again.
There were actually quite a number of celebrities at the venue. At that moment, there were also some who were heading over.
However, Lin Fengmian was the one who received the most attention. After all, he was Ning Li’s younger brother.
“Lin Fengmian! You and Ning are siblings. So, you should have known about her identity as Ning a long time ago, right?”
“Do you have anything to say about this big show?”
“You must be very proud to have such an outstanding sister, right?”
Suddenly, a sharp and abrupt voice sounded.
“Lin Fengmian, you’ve only debuted less than a year ago, yet you’ve already managed to defeat many competitors to become the G&S brand cooperation ambassador. Did Ning have any hand in this?”
This question was extremely ear-piercing.
For a moment, the scene fell into dead silence.
Lin Fengmian’s footsteps stopped, and he aimed a cold stare at the particular male reporter who was asking the question.
The sound of pictures being taken was incessant. Everyone was looking at him.
Ning had become famous last year, and Lin Fengmian had become the brand ambassador of G&S this year.
It was not surprising that someone would think this way.
The male reporter met Lin Fengmian’s gaze. Not only was he not nervous at all, but it could be said that he was even slightly excited.
As long as Lin Fengmian gave a reaction, he would definitely be able to come up with an explosive angle!
However, before Lin Fengmian could reply, someone spoke first.
“Which reporter is this? Please leave.”
George raised his chin and spoke in a casual tone. There was a smile on his face, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
“While you are on G&S’ territory, you are not welcome to question G&S.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bodyguard immediately stepped forward.
Only then did the male reporter panic.
Seeing that the bodyguard was about to make a move, he was both flustered and angry.
In a moment of desperation, he raised his voice and blurted out, “Ning! You and Mr. George have a very close relationship. Do you dare to say that there was not the slightest bit of profit transfer in this?!”
The smile on George’s face gradually disappeared. Just as he was about to get angry, out of the corner of his eyes he caught a glimpse of a tall and straight figure who was walking over from behind the crowd. Suddenly, he laughed again.
He smiled lazily and said, “You’re right. Ning and I do have a very good relationship. A brand ambassador title is nothing for a men’s ready-to-wear line. Even if she wants a higher title, as long as she asks, I’m willing to give it to her.”
When he said this, everyone was stunned.
It had been just a guess before. Who would have thought that George would actually say such a thing in public?!
Was he… serious?!
Ning Li also saw the approaching figure.
However, before she could do anything, she had heard George say this from the side.
She gritted her teeth and turned her head to give George a blank stare.
George shrugged helplessly with a face full of regret.
“It’s a pity that she didn’t give me the chance.”
As he said that, he looked at Ning Li with a smile.
“Ning, you can just state what it is you want now. We’ve known each other for so long. How can I not agree to a small request?”
Ning Li, “…”
Very well. She could now confirm that George was deliberately taking advantage of this opportunity to get back at her!
All the drafts that she had delayed in the past, the blacklists that she had pulled, the phone calls that she had rejected…
He was making her pay for all of them together today!
George seemed especially happy, even winking at her.
“If it was anyone else, I might not agree. However, you’re different. Our friendship is still here, isn’t it?”
Ning Li’s eyelids twitched.
The male reporter probably had not expected to hear such an answer, so he was completely dumbfounded.
The bodyguards had moved quickly and led him out.
The reporters looked at each other.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
“Second Master Lu!”
In the entire Capital, there was only one Second Master Lu.
Hearing this, almost subconsciously, everyone turned their heads to look over.
There was a young man who was walking over.
He was extremely tall, and the high-grade handmade tailored suit was worn on his body. It especially matched his broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the proportions were excellent.
Every step he took was casual and elegant. There seemed to be an invisible aura around him, which made people subconsciously feel in awe and submissive towards him.
It was the current leader of the Lu family– Lu Huaiyu!
One of the reporters raised his camera, but the camera was immediately blocked by the person next to him.
The person warned him in a low and stern voice, “You’re crazy! How dare you take a picture of him?”
In the entire Capital, everyone knew that Second Master Lu was famous for his arrogance.
His name and photo were rarely seen even in the finance section, let alone entertainment news like theirs.
It was said that the last media person who had taken pictures of him had only posted a side profile of him, yet his career had immediately turned cold.
Who would dare to be touched by his bad luck?
As Lu Huaiyu slowly walked over, the crowd automatically made way for him.
All the reporters were lined up on both sides. All kinds of cameras and microphones were held in their hands, but none of them dared to face him.
The scene fell into a strange silence.
The reporter who had been stopped was also shocked and quickly stopped talking.
However, at the next moment, Lu Huaiyu suddenly stopped in front of him.
“Did you have an interview question to ask me?”
Lu Huaiyu asked casually.
That reporter’s heart was about to jump out of his chest!
He raised his head in panic:
“I, I didn’t…”
“Ask away.”
Lu Huaiyu said.
The reporter was stunned, and so was everyone else.
What, what did this mean?!
Lu Huaiyu narrowed his eyes.
In an instant, the reporter felt blessed.
“Mr… Mr. Lu! I’ve heard that you never attend shows like these. So, why did you come here tonight? Will the Lu Corporation and G&S be working together on a collaboration soon?”
This was a question that everyone wanted to ask.
Therefore, after he had asked this, everyone looked to Lu Huaiyu, awaiting his answer.
In the next moment, Lu Huaiyu looked at George.
“I’ve heard that Mr. George has a close relationship with Ning. I wonder if you could introduce me to her?”
As he spoke, he tilted his head and his gaze finally landed on a person. The corners of his lips curved into an extremely faint smile.
“After all, I have admired her for a long time.”
