Autumn Wind sat in the corner, the fish had returned to its original form, starting to laugh along with Jak.
If one did not know that Leo was sandwiched between the two, one might mistakenly think they were a couple!
Picking up a glass of juice from the table, Autumn Wind took a sip and looked up, spotting Huang Zihe.
He had his back to Autumn Wind, lost in thought as he gazed at something.
Autumn Wind put down the cup, intending to stand up and greet Huang Zihe, but the fish noticed Autumn Wind's movement and followed her gaze. "Wow, it's Huang Zihe!" The fish rushed ahead towards Huang Zihe.
Autumn Wind did not expect the fish to beat her to it, and her movement froze for a moment. After a brief calm, she sat back down.
The fish had already pulled Huang Zihe over to Autumn Wind, and Jak immediately stood up to greet him. "Hello, I'm Jak!"
"Hello, Huang Zihe!" Huang Zihe smiled slightly at Jak and introduced himself, then turned his gaze to Autumn Wind. "Hi, are you two chatting here?"
"Yes!" Autumn Wind nodded, indicating she heard him.
...
In the staff break room behind the fashion party, Qiu Hai was frowning deeply while a group of staff members stood before him with their heads down.
At the Ming News Conference, the outfit that Qiu Ruolan was supposed to wear had gone missing.
"When was the last time anyone saw ‘Ocean Star’?" Qiu Hai's deep voice echoed.
"It was just here a moment ago. Sister Sally just sent her assistant over; she wanted to take a look later. I was afraid it would get dirty, so I went out to grab some gloves and then it disappeared!" said a short-haired girl, her voice trembling.
"Ocean Star" is the name of the dress that Qiu Ruolan intends to wear. It is the last work of her late friend, renowned designer Chen Yuzhu, and holds significant meaning.
The newly launched product by hk is a fashionable phone named "Ocean Blue," which coincidentally aligns with the theme of this dress.
As early as the start of the phone's development, Qiu Ruolan, who had been the spokesperson for hk for two consecutive years, proactively approached Qiu Mowen, hoping to continue as the spokesperson for the next year and recommend Chen Yuzhu's work to him. "Ervin, don't you think Yuzhu's work aligns perfectly with your product development?"
At that time, Qiu Mowen was still a spirited youth. "Align perfectly? Hey, you can't jump to that conclusion just because the product isn't fully developed yet!"
"I don't care! Just recommend her work to your boss!"
"Alright, I got it!" Qiu Mowen took Chen Yuzhu's sample work and delivered it to James.
However, by the time both Chen Yuzhu and Qiu Mowen left, hk's new product was still not ready.
Qiu Ruolan always felt an inexplicable connection with "Ocean Star," so at Chen Yuzhu's auction, she spent a fortune to buy this dress.
In fact, even Qiu Ruolan herself was unclear why she insisted on associating this dress with "Ocean Blue."
Later, "Ocean Blue" was finally successfully developed, but James had to return to the United States. During his handover with Liu Jian, he passed on the dress sample that Qiu Mowen had given him to Liu Jian.
Although he hadn't seen the dress in person, Liu Jian was immediately captivated upon seeing the picture. Like Qiu Ruolan, he fell in love with the dress at first sight and decisively declared: "This is the one!"
The dress picture was sent to Qiu Hai, who also praised it highly.
Thus, after hk signed a contract with Qiu Ruolan, Qiu Hai proposed that she temporarily store the dress at hk until after the advertisement and launch event, when it would be returned together.
It was the first time that a star needed to provide their own clothing for an advertisement or launch event; usually, these outfits were provided by manufacturers.
But in order to fulfill her own wish, Qiu Ruolan happily agreed to this request, and Qiu Hai also added ten percent to the original endorsement fee for Qiu Ruolan as clothing expenses.
Now, the "Ocean Star" has mysteriously disappeared, and it happened at a crucial moment during the product launch event.
"Go find it, search every corner!" Qiu Hai crossed his arms and shouted loudly.
It seemed that the stage shook slightly, and the staff members who were originally lined up scattered in all directions, searching for any trace of the "Ocean Star."
The other guests at the banquet were unaware of what was happening behind them; some were laughing, some were taking photos, and others were drinking and dancing.
The other members of y() finished chatting with their fans and walked towards the corner where Autumn Wind was located.
When Hai recognized that Autumn Wind was sitting with Huang Zihe, he ran over and said, "Sister Qiufeng, you look really beautiful today!"
Autumn Wind looked up at Hai and replied, "Really? Thank you!" Then she recognized Korean Agent and quickly stood up, nodding slightly.
The manager was still angry about what had just happened with the host. Upon seeing Autumn Wind, he mumbled a long string of words. Autumn Wind gestured for Hai to help translate. Hai hesitated and stammered, "He is... hoping for a long-term cooperation with hk in the future..."
Is that so? The tone didn't seem right; Autumn Wind didn't believe Hai's translation.
"He is asking that for the long-term cooperation between y() and hk, please do not discuss rumors in such a serious setting; it raises doubts about your motives!" Jak leaned in close to Autumn Wind's ear and seriously translated the manager's words.
Upon hearing this, Autumn Wind's face turned red and then pale; she forced a smile awkwardly.
At that moment, Huang Zihe also looked quite bad. Jak's last word "motives" stirred a mix of emotions within him. If the host's earlier question implied impure motives, then arranging for Autumn Wind to meet while having reporters follow them could be seen as having ulterior motives as well.
Moreover, he had always wanted to take revenge on Autumn Wind for Li Gu; this could practically be considered a "conspiracy theory"...
"Alright, everyone, don't just stand there. I am the Prince, Sister Qiu, and we've met before!" As everyone froze at the agent's earlier words, the Prince stepped in to break the tension. With the increasing fame of y(), their fear of the agent had diminished significantly.
"I am Lin Xiang, also from Shandong, but I'm from Qingdao!" Lin Xiang announced her hometown to get closer to Autumn Wind.
"Hello!" Autumn Wind smiled at the Prince and Lin Xiang.
Fish was initially excited, but the agent's interruption left her quite displeased; she could also sense Autumn Wind's discomfort.
"Autumn Wind, weren't you going to greet Yao Yao? Let's go together!" She reached out and pulled Autumn Wind away from Jak, saying, "I'll leave these handsome guys to you, after all, no language can stump you!"
As she dragged Autumn Wind toward the center of the banquet, her intention was not really to find Yao Yao, but rather to quickly escape this awkward situation.
As soon as Autumn Wind and Fish appeared, men immediately surrounded them.
Liu Jian and Qiu Ruolan remained by the wall. Qiu Ruolan pointed at Autumn Wind, who was surrounded by men. "Looks like she's quite popular..."
Liu Jian remained silent, his gaze following every smile and frown of Autumn Wind.
"Do you want to know about my story with Autumn Wind's father?" Qiu Ruolan suddenly mentioned Guan Xiu.
"..." Liu Jian was taken aback; he had heard of a man named "Guan Xiu" from Qiu Mowen before.
"What? You know that person!" Qiu Ruolan could tell from Liu Jian's expression that he should be aware of Guan Xiu's existence.
"I know a little; you two are lovers!" Liu Jian whispered what he knew.
"Do you know how we met? That was over twenty years ago. Back then, we didn't know each other. We went to a friend's birthday party, and I got drunk and fell asleep on a bed. When I woke up, there was a man lying next to me. Of course, we didn't do anything. A friend saw this scene and started teasing us, and that's how we ended up together!" Qiu Ruolan leaned against the wall, lost in thought.
"At that time, I didn't understand anything. I really thought being together meant a lifetime..." She smiled dreamily, "Ah, it really is a lifetime. My daughter and his daughter will truly be together for a lifetime. How wonderful it would be if that were our daughter!"
Qiu Ruolan's words were a bit tangled, and Liu Jian was somewhat taken aback. He opened his mouth to ask, but Qiu Ruolan straightened up from the wall and swayed as she walked toward the Toilet.
Leaving Liu Jian with a puzzled back.
...
Jolie leaned against the wall on the other side, her eyes fixed intently on Liu Jian across from her when suddenly her view was blocked by a man's figure.
Impatiently, she pushed the man in front of her, "Move aside, you're so annoying!"
"Qiu Jie, in a bad mood?" came a low voice from the boy.
Jolie looked up to see Yao Guanghao standing in front of her, raising an eyebrow, "When did you arrive? Were you invited too?"
"Sort of!" Yao Guanghao was actually accompanying Jak. "Haven't seen you in a few days, Qiu Jie, you're still so beautiful!"
Jolie sneered slightly as she looked at her former "bedmate." "You still know how to flatter! I heard your relationship with Ily is quite good!" Jolie brought up the rumors about Yao Guanghao and Wang Jiaru.
Since finishing the inheritance lawsuit at home, Jolie hadn't seen Wang Jiaru for a long time. Aside from occasional app messages, she could only see news about her in the Newspaper.
"You can believe what's in the Newspaper? Just like I've been seeing news that you and Liu Jian are getting back together. From what I see today, your interactions are nothing special; it seems like someone's attention is still on Autumn Wind!" Yao Guanghao retorted.
"You..." Yao Guanghao's words hit Jolie where it hurt.
A staff member looking for dresses hurriedly passed by Jolie and accidentally bumped into her. "Ah, Qiu Jie, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Jolie raised an eyebrow, noticing the staff's panic. "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
"No, nothing!" The staff member, having been warned by Qiu Hai not to leak this matter, answered nervously and tried to leave.
"It’s fine, why are you so flustered?" Jolie stepped forward, blocking his way, a strange smile creeping onto her lips. "Did you lose something?"
"Uh, no..." Looking up at Jolie, who seemed to see right through him, he finally admitted, "Sister Sally's 'Ocean Blue' is missing!"
"Missing... 'Ocean Blue' is missing? You must be joking!" Jolie clutched her chest dramatically and exclaimed loudly, grabbing the staff member by the collar with a tone so loud it seemed she was afraid no one would hear her. "How could 'Ocean Blue' possibly go missing?"
The once bustling banquet hall fell silent after Jolie's outburst. After a brief moment of quiet, murmurs began to spread among the crowd.
"Did you hear? 'Ocean Blue' is missing!"
"That was the dress Sister Sally prepared herself!"
