Chapter 219 - I’m About To Lose My Face Because Of That Tsundere

“I’m sorry? Today… I can’t today…”

Luo Chenxi blinked her eyes and looked troubled.

‘This morning, Young Master Mu specifically said that he wanted to eat sweet and sour fish tonight. He even asked sister Chen to get the ingredients.

‘If I stood him up, who knows what that tsundere is going to fuss about this time.’

Sheng Yu’s inquisitive gaze fell on her face and he suddenly said, “We can do it another day if you’re unavailable. However, I do have a question that I want to ask you.”

“Ah? Wh… What question would that be?”

Luo Chenxi felt a chill run down her spine under Sheng Yu’s deep gaze.

She suddenly remembered that she almost had sex with Mu Yichen on the night of the finals.

In the end, she was interrupted by Sheng Yu’s phone call.

Young Master Mu, who was not satisfied with her, used her WeChat to send Sheng Yu a random message, saying that he was “Xing Chen’s man”.

‘If Sheng Yu asks about that matter, how am I supposed to answer?’

She felt that she was about to lose her face because of that tsundere at home..

The corner of Sheng Yu’s mouth curled up and he said, “I suppose, you’ve heard of TREND?”

“… Huh?”

The topic changed so quickly that Luo Chenxi was stunned for a second.

Sheng Yu frowned. “Don’t tell me that you don’t even know about TREND despite being a fashion designer yourself?”

Luo Chenxi came back to her senses and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. She hurriedly nodded. “I do, I know it. Of course I do!”

‘As long as it’s a girl who’s slightly interested in fashion, it would be impossible for her not to know about TREND. Moreover, I’m in the fashion industry myself.’

TREND was one of the most famous fashion magazines in the world. It had a history of more than 300 years.

Once, it had a circulation of more than 100 million and was known as the cosmological magazine.

In recent years, with the end of the paper media era, the sales of TREND had also dropped significantly. However, it was still unable to change its pivotal position in the fashion industry.

Sheng Yu snorted, “I see you’re not so stupid after all. You see, you do have rather good luck. Mr. Tang Jiadong, the editor-in-chief of TREND China, was very interested in you after he saw your design in the finals. Today, he came to SL Corporation to negotiate about an official matter. He even came to see me to ask for your details specifically. Now, he wants to see you personally.”

“Mr. Tang wants to see me?!”

Luo Chenxi revealed a happy expression.

‘TREND is distributed in more than 10 different editions in more than 70 countries around the world.

‘Among them, the French edition is the most influential edition.

‘Although the China edition is far from being on par with their level, it’s also the best fashion magazine in the country.

‘Tang Jiadong is a big shot in the fashion industry, he probably has even more connections than Sheng Yu.

‘This is definitely a good opportunity!’

“President Sheng, thank you so much. You really are my benefactor!”

Luo Chenxi knew that her own design was the most important factor in facilitating this meeting, but Sheng Yu must have contributed a lot as well.

Sheng Yu snorted coldly. “Don’t forget the meal you owe me!”

“Of course!”

Sheng Yu looked at her sweet smile and pursed his lips. He suddenly remembered the WeChat message from the other night.

‘That person… The man who claimed to be Xing Chen’s man… Was that true?’

He swallowed the words that were right at the tip of his tongue a few times before the words came out of his mouth.

Then, he stood up. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the meeting room.”

Tang Jiadong was a refined middle-aged man in his forties. He was well-dressed and maintained a good figure. There was no sign of his age showing at all and was a typical handsome elderly man instead.

When he saw Luo Chenxi, he smiled, “You must be Xing Chen, am I right? I admire your designs very much. It’s been a long time since there’s been a newcomer who’s as inspirational as you appearing in the fashion industry within our country. I believe that you will soon stand on the world stage.”

Luo Chenxi blushed a little from his praise and quickly said, “You’re too kind!”

After the small talk, Tang Jiadong said straightforwardly, “Miss Xing Chen, the reason I wanted to meet you this time is because I hope that you’re able to come up with a set of designs to be used as the cover of TREND’s next issue.”

“What? Mr. Tang, you want to use my designs on the cover page?!”

Luo Chenxi was pleasantly surprised. She couldn’t believe her ears!

‘It’s the ultimate dream of many designers to be able to have their designs appear on the cover of a cosmological magazine!

‘I’ve just started my career and I’m already being given such a good opportunity!’

Tang Jiadong nodded. “You’ve heard correctly. However, I do have a condition.”
