Chapter 313 - Collaboration With Bai Qingyue (1)
After a few hours of their flight, Su Xiaofei and the rest reached their destination on time. The Zhang sisters took upon themselves to drag her luggage, while Tang Liyan's assistant came following behind them in a hurry.
Bai Qingyue's team had alighted before them and had been waiting for their ride. When they spotted Su Xiaofei and Tang Liyan, they raised their eyebrows at Su Xiaofei's dominating presence. It was impossible for anyone not to get attracted to this beautiful woman.
"Is she a celebrity? She looks like a million bucks."
They overheard a stranger making a comment as she saw Su Xiaofei and couldn't agree more with the woman's comment. Next to the celebrity queen Tang Liyan, Su Xiaofei cannot be considered her backdrop.
Her eyes were covered with oversized sunglasses and she walked gracefully in her high-waisted white pencil skirt that emphasized her small waist and curvaceous body. It was paired with a long sleeved pale pink blouse draped by an oversized coat over her shoulder. She was all dressed up for glamour that could rival the queen that she was accompanying today.
Next to her, Tang Liyan was walking at the same pace. Half of her face was also covered with retro sunglasses. Compared to Su Xiaofei, she was dressed casually in her black slacks and white ruffled blouse, with a purse in her hand.
If Su Xiaofei was like a domineering queen, Tang Liyan looked like the kind and approachable person anyone could easily get along with. Seeing them together was a pleasure to one's eyes, and it seemed to others that they got along, despite their differences.
Bai Qingyue's team followed the two women with their eyes until they stepped out of the airport, where luxurious cars were already waiting for their arrival. There was a small entourage that left the airport after that.
Those who were accompanying Bai Qingyue frowned when they saw what was waiting for them. Bai Qingyue and her assistant boarded the black sedan that stopped in front of them, while the rest of their group was picked up by a van to take them to the hotel where they were staying.
As soon as they arrived at the hotel, Su Xiaofei and Tang Liyan's group had already checked into the best rooms provided by their company. Their luggages were dealt by bellhops that also accompanied them to their respective rooms.
Bai Qingyue didn't mind that she was receiving such an arrangement from Golden Star, as it was known to not spend on unnecessary lavishness. She could provide for herself and could request to upgrade her room, but the same couldn't be said for her companions.
The rest of her team could only glower and complain in their hearts as they couldn't mock Bluemedia's people, because obviously, despite them being smaller than Golden Star, they weren't stingy when it comes to their people.
Tang Liyan was sharing the presidential suite with Su Xiaofei since it had two bedrooms with their own en-suite facilities they could enjoy. Plus, the view outside their suite was spectacular as it oversaw the city they were in. The living area had a massive leather couch with two small armchairs next to it. The entertainment area seemed complete as they offered a massive 75-inch TV, which was also connected with a fast internet connection, allowing them to watch and stream movies and TV shows as they like.
There was a small kitchen and a bar that they could use, but Tang Liyan doubted that her manager knew her way in the kitchen or if she would have enough time to prepare something for them to eat later. Next to the kitchen, there was a small washroom the two women could use, just in case they didn't have enough time to get to their own washrooms.
"Miss Su, is it really alright to have accommodations like this?" She asked Su Xiaofei, as she walked around the living area, then to the small kitchen, to check if she could brew some tea for them.
It wasn't like she was new or ignorant to this kind of lavish lifestyle, but she didn't want people to misunderstand that Su Xiaofei and President Yun were showing favoritism when it comes to their talents. Also, she had been frugal and didn't live beyond her means ever since her divorce was finalized three years ago. Tang Liyan hadn't forgotten that she was indebted to Su Xiaofei.
Su Xiaofei sat on the couch and released her feet from her high heels, sighing in relief as her feet touched the soft carpet on the floor.
"You don't need to worry about it since the tab is already settled." She replied, before pulling out the pins that held her hair in place. "As for Miss Bai's company, don't allow them to get to you. The first to react would be the loser, and you don't want to be that person."
Tang Liyan remained silent as she knew what her manager meant. It wasn't the first time that someone tried to provoke her, wanting to create an issue they could use to defame her name in public.
It was also normal for fans to compare her with the other queen, Bai Qingyue. While the two of them started at the same time in the industry, Tang Liyan's long absence during her marriage had given Bai Qingyue an advantage over her. Even if Tang Liyan didn't want to, she couldn't stop people from putting her up against Bai Qingyue.
"Okay." She gave a simple one-worded reply. This was what she always hears from Su Xiaofei anyway. For her to keep her composure and try not to feed the hounds that were barking at her.
However, their accommodations today were far from the ones they usually had from their previous trips. It was the first time Bluemedia and Su Xiaofei had arranged as such.
Su Xiaofei remained calm, despite the attempt by Bai Qingyue's camp to humiliate them earlier.. Tang Liyan wasn't sure how she could remain calm at this time.
