"What's wrong, Xiaoxiao?" Lin Xi asked with concern upon seeing Xiaoxiao's troubled expression.
Although Mo Xiaoxiao had not been very close with her, Lin Xi could still see a hint of her past innocence.
Unlike the other classmates… Oh dear.
Mo Xiaoxiao suddenly hugged Lin Xi and started to cry.
"What exactly is wrong, Xiaoxiao? Don't cry, just tell me what happened, and I'll help you solve it."
"EVE, they, they said they don't want me to pay them money anymore…" Mo Xiaoxiao sobbed.
"They don't want you to pay money? Isn't that a good thing? Why are you crying?" Lin Xi looked puzzled.
"But, they want me to compensate with an identical dress…" Mo Xiaoxiao cried.
"How outrageous is that, come on, let's go argue with them!" Lin Xi, being the top businesswoman in Jiangdu City, naturally had a powerful presence.
Soon, Lin Xi took Mo Xiaoxiao to a private room.
And started negotiating with those people.
However, the negotiation did not seem to go very well.
Originally, Lin Xi thought those people were just trying to extract a huge amount from her.
Being the owner of a clothing company, she could tell the price of the dress at a glance.
But when she saw the dress, only then she realized; it was indeed worth millions.
Here's what happened:
Mo Xiaoxiao went to the restroom, came out to touch up her makeup in front of the mirror, wanting to reapply her mascara.
Maybe because the mascara had dried up a little, it wasn't coming out properly, so she shook it hard a few times.
The mascara did come out.
But it landed on a woman who was also preparing to touch up her makeup.
At that time, Mo Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention and said she would compensate the woman for the dress.
But she had no idea that the dress was worth a million.
However, in such a restaurant, frequented by the wealthy, she saw the dress was indeed luxurious, probably really expensive, so she decided to go borrow money.
Who would have thought, after she managed to gather the money, they no longer wanted money but asked for an identical dress instead.
Where would she get an identical dress?
"Oh, I recognize those people; they seem to be from the entertainment industry," Lin Xi's classmates, all stood outside the door, didn't enter, but from the opened door, they could see the situation inside the room.
Du Meimei seemed to have recognized the identities of a few people inside the room.
The entertainment industry?
Mia's eyes lit up at this.
Hao Jian had always bragged about how well-connected and influential he was in the entertainment industry.
Maybe if he could speak up, he might be able to resolve this matter.
If Hao Jian could get this sorted, wouldn't that win him a lot of face?
Thinking of this, Mia immediately affectionately hooked onto Hao Jian's arm and said, "Darling, don't you know a lot of people in the entertainment industry? Why don't you talk to them?"
Hao Jian suddenly broke into a sweat.
Damn, he didn't know anyone in the entertainment industry!
But, given he had faked it this far, there was no reason to back down now.
Not everyone in the entertainment industry knew each other; with his verbal skills, maybe he could bluff it through and deceive those people.
And if he really managed to resolve this issue, wouldn't it demonstrate his capability?
Perhaps by then, Lin Xi would reconsider her opinion.
"Alright, then I'll give it a try." Hao Jian braced himself and went forward.
"Hello, I am from Huaihuang Entertainment Company, I wonder if you could do me a favor..." Hao Jian said with a smile as he handed over his business card.
Unfortunately, the person did not even take it.
"You're from Huaihuang Entertainment?" A fashionable fat man sized up Hao Jian and asked.
"Exactly, may I know which company you are from, brother?" Hao Jian courteously replied.
Considering the expensive suit the guy was wearing, you could tell his status was no joke.
The fatty sneered upon hearing this: "You are from Huaihuang Entertainment and you freaking don't know who I am?"
Hao Jian's face stiffened immediately, "You, you are?"
"Blinded your dog eyes, this is the young master of Huaihuang Entertainment!"
Damn, this time he really overdid the act.
Obviously, the situation had developed to a point that Hao Jian couldn't handle anymore. Better to get out of here quickly.
"Holy crap, I've long heard that someone's been out there impersonating people from our Huaihuang Entertainment, but I didn't expect it to be true. Boy, you've got some nerve," the fat man gave a signal to someone at the table.
Immediately, two burly men stood up and blocked Hao Jian's way out.
"Who the hell is your young master, beat him up!"
A few minutes later, Hao Jian came out with his head covered in bumps.
"Hao Jian, what, what happened?" Mia asked with a face full of distress.
"Well, they are from our rival company..."
Just then, a tall and stunning figure walked over, heading straight into the private room.
This figure, exceedingly hot, although dressed in casual wear, looked perfect.
This was a blonde foreign beauty.
"Wait, she seems to be..."
"Scarlett!" several women exclaimed in unison.
Yes, the woman who just walked into the private room was none other than the famous Black Widow actress, Scarlett!
A group of women, who were initially some distance away from the private room door, immediately ran to the doorway.
All just to catch a glimpse of the legendary superstar.
"Is, is that Scarlett?" Mo Xiaoxiao said, utterly bewildered.
"Oh my god, Xiaoxiao, you don't even recognize Scarlett?" everyone looked at Mo Xiaoxiao as if she were a fool.
Mo Xiaoxiao of course knew who Scarlett was, it's just that she wasn't much of a fan, so she didn't recognize her.
After all, female stars look somewhat different in real life than they do in movies.
And just before, the owner of the dress that got stained with her mascara, turned out to be Scarlett.
"I am so sorry Miss Scarlett, we've already contacted them to send another dress over... don't worry, your dress will be sent directly to Italy, and Dilasi will personally take care of it."
Upon hearing that the dress belonged to Scarlett, Hao Jian inwardly cursed.
Damn, how come all these coincidences are happening today.
It seems like today is really not his day, better to retreat quickly.
But before he could retreat, Mia grabbed his arm, "Honey, didn't you say you know Scarlett, that she even wanted to hire you as her agent? Go talk to her, help me get an autograph!"
Mia is a super fan of Scarlett, and Hao Jian had bragged about knowing Scarlett because he knew this.
Little did he know, Scarlett would actually be in Huaxia, and even in the same restaurant.
Really freaking unlucky…
