Chapter 41: Why Did You Choose Me?
Du Jiuyuan nodded. It turned out that Luoluo’s financier was Ling Jin.
Ling Jin naturally knew what Du Jiuyuan was thinking, but he didn’t say it out loud. He continued, “I hope you can be Luoluo’s stylist.”
This sudden job opportunity didn’t make Du Jiuyuan feel lucky at all. She asked in return, “I’m sure many people would be dying to fight for this position. Why did you choose me instead?”
“You were personally altering the wedding dress at the wedding and Luoluo liked it very much. Her mentality is very strange and she will only accept people that she likes.” Ling Jin put on a business-like smile. Without waiting for Du Jiuyuan’s reply, he continued, “As for the benefits and salary, you need not worry. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price.”
Du Jiuyuan did not reply. She knew that the man in front of her had hidden intentions. In terms of shrewdness, he was probably 10 times greater than her.
“You publicly disgraced the Ji family at the wedding. Grandmother Ji dotes on you and doesn’t mind it while Ji Jingchen, that workaholic, doesn’t have the time to deal with you. But what about the rest of the Ji family? If you want to establish yourself in Hong Kong, it would be a painstaking effort. Now I’m giving you this opportunity, so you should firmly seize it!” Ling Jin said righteously.
Ling Jin was absolutely right. Du Jiuyuan didn’t display any change on the surface, but in truth, she was looking forward to this job. Compared to her own experience, this job was indeed a good starting point.
“What is expected out of me?” Du Jiuyuan was completely convinced by Ling Jin.
Ling Jin raised his head and gave his secretary a look. “You’d better ask Luoluo herself about this!”
Du Jiuyuan stood up elegantly and the secretary made an inviting gesture toward her. The two of them left one after the other. Their destination was not far from the film studio. The secretary drove around a corner and entered the set.
In the dressing room, Du Jiuyuan saw Luoluo resting. Luoluo saw Du Jiuyuan as well. She turned her chair and stared at Du Jiuyuan, sizing her up and down. The secretary then left. Du Jiuyuan herself did not appear very reserved. Instead, she moved a chair and sat down, not saying a word. The dressing room was silent. The staff inside tactfully left and the two women looked at each other without saying a word. They were engaged in a silent staring contest.
Luoluo stood up and carefully walked in front of Du Jiuyuan. “Are you Du Jiuyuan? The one who rejected Ji Jingchen’s marriage in public?”?
Du Jiuyuan nodded. Before she could fully understand what Luoluo meant with her question, Luoluo suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person. She lifted her chin and said, “Well done! Ji Jingchen dared to reject me in the past! Now, someone finally came to reject him instead. It’s really the good karma of the heavens. No bad deed would go unpunished!”
Du Jiuyuan remained silent, her mind was full of question marks.
‘Luoluo actually liked Ji Jingchen? But wasn’t her financier Ling Jin? What exactly is going on?’
Luoluo saw that Du Jiuyuan didn’t speak and smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, I won’t treat you as an enemy just because Ji Jingchen likes you. I don’t intend to bully you either. I actually really liked the way you looked at the wedding. Is it true that you designed the wedding look all by yourself?”
“Indeed. Because of the time constraint, it wasn’t perfect. I should be able to do even better if I had more time.” Du Jiuyuan didn’t expect Luoluo to be so straightforward.
“I really like the way you looked at the wedding. I’m going to attend a banquet in a few days. I hope you can help me with the styling.” Luoluo turned back into her mature and steady girl persona and sat down on the chair.
Du Jiuyuan had a new evaluation of Luoluo in her heart. It turned out that this woman had a unique plan for her own life.
“You just focus on matching. As long as you do it to my satisfaction this time, you will be my stylist in the future!” Luoluo added.
“Okay.” Du Jiuyuan agreed immediately.
Just when Du Jiuyuan was about to ask for more information, someone suddenly pushed the door open and entered. A man dressed in black sequined clothes walked in. He didn’t even look at Du Jiuyuan as he walked directly to Luoluo’s side.
“Baby, I heard that you’re going to entrust your appearance for this banquet to a little girl who has yet to experience the world. Oh, my goodness! Are you crazy?”
“Yes, that little girl is her, Du Jiuyuan,” Luoluo said with a firm look in her eyes.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Baby, have you been brainwashed by this little girl? Look at her outfit. It’s terrible!” The man glanced at Du Jiuyuan, his face full of impatience.
Du Jiuyuan was going to apply for her divorce certificate today, so she was dressed very simply.
“I think it’s not bad. Aren’t I a little girl myself?” Luoluo was a little angry. After the conversation just now, she had already treated Du Jiuyuan as one of her own.
“Baby, you know that’s not what I mean. You…”
“Loki! The styling you designed for me before was very good, but I like the freshness Du Jiuyuan displayed. How about we do it this way? The two of you will have a competition on my banquet styling. In the end, whoever’s work that I find to be more satisfactory will be appointed as my unique stylist.”
