Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Creating the history already? 

Li Xue was confused by those words. She tried to guess things more clearly in the expression of Lin Xinyi. But except for putting her on the tenterhooks, those expressions did nothing good to her. 

"Sister Xinyi, can I?" Not having any ways to guess, Li Xue asked politely, gesturing the attention towards the file Lin Xinyi had pushed to her earlier. 

Though she has not replied to the things on the spot, Lin Xinyi could not spot any trace of doubt in her eyes. "Sure. I already said you should decide everything wisely." 

With her permission, Li Xue did not wait twice before taking the file to check the details. The very first page of the file took her senses away. Her eyes widened as at once she lifted her gaze up to look at the woman in front. 

"The Royal Seal!" She voiced out her confusion filled with amazement and Lin Xinyi only nodded to verify it. 

"Yes, it's from the Royal Cultural Association of Chiboa". The manager detailed vaguely before asking to turn the pages further to read. 

Li Xue nodded as she turned the pages one after the other to read the things more informatively. Her eyes became all serious and focused on the topic. 

"If you take this project, you will be entering the traditional cultural market of the industry. This will be new to everyone as before you none of the models were offered this opportunity, nor I think even if they were offered they would have chosen to take it. Even if it was me in the past, I would have hesitated for a bit." Lin Xinyi slowly voiced out her understanding of the situation as she saw the girl reading the things minutely. 

Hearing her say that, for a moment Li Xue gazed up with curiosity. "This offer seems perfect. Then why is there so much negativity about it?" She asked. Almost reading everything in the file, Li Xue could not agree less with the idea. It was something worth giving a try. Though like every other proposal there were risk factors as well, still all those risks looked quite normal to her.

"The traditional cultural market is a way different from the one you are practicing in. Though there is no sure guarantee of the profits, there is a fair chance of loss. A loss, big enough to make you lose your career if you fail in the criteria." Lin Xinyi said but to her words, Li Xue reasoned back. 

"But Sister Xinyi isn't the same risk everywhere. I mean if you failed to do a job properly, or failed to return what's expected from you in a job, you will have to take the loss heavy enough to fail your career." Li Xue said, keeping the file back on the desk. 

Seeing her so positive and reasonable with her thoughts, Lin Xinyi was happy. This was one of the reasons that didn't allow her to reject the proposal the very instant she received it. Although she was not too familiar with the girl yet, she has still seen and felt the toughness and logic the girl holds in her attitude. 

Her lips curled a little on the corner as she stood up to walk to the panel writing board at the side. "Since you have already decided to stand on the positive side, let's not discuss the negativity. Instead, let me tell you the key points that are not mentioned in this file." Lin Xinyi said before she flipped the covering page of the board to reveal a good plan map on next. 

Li Xue's eyes contracted as she looked at the thing written with very details on the board. Though not everything was visible for her to read, still there was a title that explained to her everything it was about. 

Supermodel Perfectionist Award of Chiboa!

"Sister Xinyi, this …?"  She asked, standing up to take her steps near to the board for an easy and clearer read. 

"This is the map plot to gain the points to reach your ultimate aim in the industry. The Supermodel Perfectionist Award of Chiboa." Lin Xinyi responded, pointing her pen to the middle of the board where the title of the award was written as the main focus. "Though it would have been a tough process for any model to attain this award, it will not be the same for you because of this royal project". She added turning at once to gesture to look at the file on the table. 

Li Xue looked at the file but again returned her gaze back at the board. Although after reaching a little nearer it has become clearer for her to read, still it was tough for her to comprehend here and there. There were several brand names written over the board, marked with points. 

"But Sister Xinyi, didn't you say if it had been you, you would have not chosen to accept this proposal?" 

Lin Xinyi's eyes paused for a moment looking at the board. She didn't say anything but soon a smile became evident as she turned to look at Li Xue. "But you are not me, Li Xue. Though our attitudes and thoughts are similar, we are not the same. You are a lot better than me. So, our choices don't need to be the same." 

She said, staring at the girl with a different gaze. A gaze that looked like an admiration to Li Xue. But before even she could ask anything about it, Lin Xinyi shrugged her shoulders off, ignoring the drag of the topic any longer. 

"Li Xue, here look at this. Since you are planning to accept this offer, you will have to keep note of one thing. Your career will become restricted. As I have already let you know that after Aurora you won't be able to just work with any brand, the same will go when you sign the contract with the Royals but with more close restrictions" She said, pausing and turning to point at the board. 

"Look here. I have classified all possible choices for you with the point they will earn you to step up your glory till the award. But at the same time, you have to keep in mind that if you lose a chance, it will not bring you another. You will need 1500 credits till the end of the year to get nominated. Since you already got Aurora in your bag, if you add this royal one in that too, you will already be scoring 650 successful credits with just two. Undoubtedly, your chances will increase." Lin Xinyi explained everything, moving the pointer on the board one after the other. 

Li Xue also listened to everything very carefully without saying a word in response. Her eyes, not leaving the board even for once as if preparing to learn everything. Only after each and every detail was explained did she say,  "Sister Xinyi, who has approached us with this proposal? " 

Her question felt a little out of context to the manager, but she still responded. "Ms. Linda, the secretary of Royal Highness, came with this proposal yesterday. Since the Royal Cultural Association is supervised under the care of the Queen, I think she was the one to choose you. Why? Any problem?". 

Li Xue's eyes contracted at the information as she looked back at the board with some thought, remembering well the last meeting she had with the queen.
