Chapter 177: Young Master Lu, Please Stay

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

The news of Ning Qing’s return to the entertainment industry swept through the entire film and advertising industry. This was the first step for the 20-year-old film queen after “Dust and Wind”. Xiao Zhou received so many invitations and interview requests that she couldn’t cope.

Ning Qing politely rejected the works of several well-known film directors, and finally chose to endorse a well-known international clothing brand.

Today, she was taking several sets of fashion photoshoots. During her break, Xiao Zhou came running excitedly. “Ning Qing, didn’t you ask me to take note of what Guang Qing is doing? Good news, Cabbage Plume, Guang Qing’s new cosmetics brand, is about to be launched. They are looking for this term’s endorser, Ning Qing. I think this opportunity is for you.”

Ning Qing took over Cabbage Plume’s brochure. This Cabbage Plume was developed internally by Guang Qing and had been sold in Europe. Now it has been officially launched into the domestic market.

Ning Qing raised her lip and stood up. “Xiao Zhou, let’s go.”

Xiao Zhou followed her. “Ning Qing, where are we going?”

“Guang Qing, we must not lose this opportunity. I want to recommend myself.”

…

Guang Qing.

The front desk clerk brought Ning Qing and Xiao Zhou into the VIP room. “Miss Ning, please wait for a moment. The Marketing Manager in charge of Cabbage Plume will be here later.”

“OK, thank you.” Ning Qing nodded politely.

Xiao Zhou sat beside Ning Qing and whispered, “Ning Qing, do the employees of Guang Qing call you Miss Ning now? They didn’t use to call you that.”

Ning Qing’s face was gentle. She took a sip of coffee from the front desk and answered casually, “Yes, they used to call me the president’s wife or Madam. My mother-in-law sent someone to erase all traces of our marriage in T city. Everyone knows my relationship with Shaoming well, but no one dares to say it and they treat us as strangers. Now, even I sometimes feel as if it was all just a dream.”

Xiao Zhou knew Ning Qing was sad. She put her arm around Ning Qing’s shoulder and comforted her. “Your mother-in-law can erase all the traces, but the only thing she can’t erase is your marriage certificate.”

The marriage certificate represents a relationship, a marriage.

Ning Qing was comforted and her lips curved into a smile.

Then the door of the VIP room was opened and the marketing manager came in.

Ning Qing looked up at the person and was very surprised; she had not expected to meet such an old acquaintance here – Ye Ting.

Ye Ting and her had gotten into a fight before.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ting was the marketing manager of Guang Qing, and she was also in charge of Cabbage Plume.

Ning Qing sighed a little. She was out of luck.

Ye Ting was surprised to see Ning Qing, but she laughed quickly. “Oh, Miss Ning.” She sat on the sofa opposite Ning Qing, with her chin lifted haughtily. “I wonder why Miss Ning has come to the office today?”

Xiao Zhou: So sardonic!

If she didn’t know what they had come for, why did she have to enter this VIP room?

She was putting on airs and displaying her power.

Xiao Zhou wanted to talk, but Ning Qing said, “Hi, Manager Ye, we’re here today to talk to you about Cabbage Plume’s advertising endorsement.”

“Oh.” Ye Ting seemed to suddenly understand. She looked Ning Qing up and down with narrowed eyes and obvious irony and sneered. “Miss Ning wants to cooperate with us and be the spokesperson star of Cabbage Plume for this term? But I have a lot of candidates on hand now. Miss Ning, why don’t you tell me what are the advantages of choosing you?”

Xiao Zhou was angry at Ye Ting’s arrogant attitude and began to retort. “Manager Ye, although we don’t know who your candidates are, can you compare your candidates with our Ning Qing? With Ning Qing’s present fame and status, she lowers herself by coming here.”

“Why should Miss Ning come here if it will lower her status?” Ye Ting quickly retorted.

“You!”

“Xiao Zhou,” Ning Qing waved to Xiao Zhou, indicating that she did not need to speak. Ning Qing laughed politely and said, “Manager Ye, I just received the endorsement contract to be the Chinese spokesperson for an international clothing brand, Slly. Once this advertisement has been launched, I will hold a press conference to formally announce my entry into the entertainment industry. After that, I will certainly be in the headlines of the entertainment industry for a considerable period of time. Cabbage Plume, as my second endorsement then, will definitely follow my momentum. To be blunt, no one in the entertainment industry can bring more star power to Cabbage Plume than I can.”

Ye Ting was looking at the little woman opposite her. It seemed that Lu Shaoming’s incident had not had much of an impact on her. She did not show melancholy or negative emotions, and she actively worked hard on her career. The hope flashing in her autumn pupils was still so beautiful and bright.

Ning Qing did not seem to have changed, but Ye Ting still felt that she had changed somewhere.

She was more charming than a year ago. She was more relaxed and free-flowing than before, and she was straightforward.

Her words were not modest; they could even be considered arrogant. It was said that women with careers would become more confident and charming. Ning Qing was precisely like that. She had returned to the entertainment industry, and after taking the time to find her own territory, she would stand gracefully and calmly on the top and began to emit a faint glowing light all over her body.

Ye Ting took another look at her. Maybe it was because she had come out in a hurry. She was still wearing Slly’s latest early spring orange maxi dress that tapered at her waist. She was afraid of the cold and had covered herself with a military green down jacket. In fact, it was a very casual mix of clothes, but there was an unspeakable and beautiful aura when she wore it.

Ye Ting’s eyes were colder. To be honest, she despised Ning Qing. She thought that if she left Lu Shaoming, she would be nothing.

But now she realized that she was wrong; the woman was still Ning Qing even without Lu Shaoming.

She was still living her best life.

How could she live her best life like this?

Ye Ting was jealous.

Not because Ning Qing had Lu Shaoming, but because she was such a resilient woman.

“Miss Ning, even if you are the best and most suitable, we, Cabbage Plume, will not use you.”

Ye Ting rejected her with one sentence.

Ning Qing’s smile didn’t falter, but her beautiful autumn eyes were a little colder. “Why? You are professionals. You want to sell your products, and it would take half the effort with me on board. Why won’t you use me?”

“It’s very simple. Why did Miss Ning come to Guang Qing today? Your purpose is known to all. You want to be in a favorable position and get preferential treatment. But as an employee of Guang Qing, I have the obligation to help our president filter the women who are deliberately trying to approach him.”

“So nothing can be discussed?” Xiao Zhou jumped up instantly and sneered pointedly, “Some people are really shameless. Do I even need to say who has tried to approach Young Master Lu deliberately? Young Master Lu treats some people as air, but she still treats herself as someone important. Ning Qing, let’s go, we’ll try something else.”

Ye Ting’s face changed from red to white. Lu Shaoming had ignored her for a long time, so wasn’t it because he regarded her as the air? Now someone had laid it out in the open.

She felt embarrassed.

Ning Qing stood up slowly. She knew that she couldn’t negotiate with Ye Ting anymore, and there was no need to waste her words. “Xiao Zhou, let’s go.”

Ning Qing took Xiao Zhou to the door.

Just then, Ye Ting sneered behind her and said, “Miss Ning, do you really think you can try another way? There are some things that can’t be decided by our small staff. You will never be able to get close to the president.”

Ning Qing understood what she meant. Someone didn’t want her to approach Lu Shaoming. Although Ye Ting also had such intentions, she had been ordered to do this.

Who was this person?

Does she still need to ask? It was her mother-in-law Song Yajing.

Two days ago in the United States, her mother-in-law had promised her a three-month period, but her mother-in-law did not concede that she could not try to break them apart.

Lu Shaoming had forgotten her. It was a problem for her just to try and approach Lu Shaoming. Her mother-in-law refused to let her approach Lu Shaoming. How could she push Lu Shaoming to fall in love with her again?

Ning Qing furrowed her eyebrows and softly said, “Let’s go.”

Xiao Zhou opened the door and Zhu Rui passed by. Zhu Rui saw Ning Qing. He was startled and called her, “Ma… Miss Ning.”

“Madam” had become “Miss Ning”.

Ning Qing further confirmed her guess. Song Yajing’s hand had extended inside Guang Qing, and she would keep setting up obstacles for her.

There was really nothing else she could do.

Ning Qing laughed. Alright then, she’ll think of a solution as she advances.Read more chapter on v ip novel. com

“Hello, Secretary Zhu.” Ning Qing politely said hello and left with Xiao Zhou.

…

They went out of Guang Qing’s Gate and got into the limo. Xiao Zhou sat in the front passenger seat and asked, “Ning Qing, what shall we do next?”

Ning Qing did not answer. She was thinking.

At this time, the driver started the car. The car moved forward slowly. Ning Qing looked up, and happened to see a Bentley passing by.

“Stop!” Ning Qing cried out.

The driver stepped on the brake urgently.

“Ning Qing, what’s wrong with you?” Xiao Zhou asked. She found Ning Qing’s two little hands against the window and saw her looking back. She followed her gaze. The Bentley had stopped at Guang Qing’s entrance and a handsome figure stepped out from the driver’s seat.

Lu Shaoming.

Today, he wore a black hand-made suit with white shirt and tie. His trousers were smooth and tidy. He was so strict that there were no wrinkles. His sculptural beauty was silent as water. His whole body was marked with the cold indifference that said, “Strangers keep away.”

Xiao Zhou looked at him several times until Lu Shaoming disappeared steadily in Guang Qing. She reigned in her gaze and saw Ning Qing pressed against the window, looking out stupidly.

Xiao Zhou felt sad. She took out a tissue and handed it to Ning Qing. “Ning Qing, if you want to cry, cry. I won’t laugh at you.”

Ning Qing slowly turned her head and stretched out her small hand to slap the paper towel Xiao Zhou handed over. She said, “Why should I cry? Shaoming has finally returned from the United States, I am happy.”

Xiao Zhou was surprised, did Ning Qing really not want to cry?

Ning Qing pressed her red lips together and winked her eyes wittily. “Xiao Zhou, send a text message to Secretary Zhu now. Ask where Shaoming will be attending meetings or functions.”

Although Zhu Rui had to obey her mother-in-law’s orders, he would help her in private.

With Zhu Rui as her informant, she was not worried.

Xiao Zhou was confused. “Ning Qing, what do you want to do?”

Ning Qing leaned lazily in the back seat and laughed, “Find a time and place where Shaoming will appear. I want to formally hold a press conference to create an encounter with Shaoming. My mother-in-law manipulated everyone to keep me away from Shaoming, but can she control Shaoming himself?”

Xiao Zhou quickly understood. She gave Ning Qing a thumbs up excitedly. “Ning Qing, opportunities are made by people. You are so smart. But…”

Xiao Zhou did not understand, “What do you want to do when you encounter Young Master Lu?”

Ning Qing did not answer. She looked out of the window and smiled with curved eyes.

…

The next day, Ning Qing held a press conference in a shopping mall, escorted by on-site bodyguards. The place was packed. The 28 news and entertainment networks in T City were all present.

At the media Q&A, a reporter asked Ning Qing, who was on the rostrum, “Miss Ning, where will the focus of your work be after your comeback?”

Ning Qing said with a polite and light smile, “I might still accept some good film and TV roles or advertisements, but my focus will be to retire behind the scenes and make the transformation into a production or director, so that I will have the opportunity to set up my own studio in the future.”

The reporter exclaimed, “Miss Ning, you have been crowned the queen of film at the age of 20 and that is already a glory, and now you are trying to change jobs and not continue your triumphant pursuits. It’s really courageous.”

“My glory is given by fans who love and support me…” Ning Qing waved to the enthusiastic fans who were blocked by bodyguards outside the security line. “I hope that in the future, what I will give back to you is not a good character, but to direct a good show for you to see.”

Those fans from all over the country were so moved that they shouted, “Ning Qing, we will always support you.”

Reporters praised Ning Qing’s rapport with the media and her fans. She had never been unworthy of her current fame, as she knew how to be grateful and thankful to everyone who has supported her.

“Miss Ning, we know the story of you and Ning Yao. What do you think of Ning Yao’s tragic death?” A reporter asked a sharp question.

At this time, Xiao Zhou came out to stop the reporter, “Please ask questions related to her work…”

Ning Qing waved and stopped Xiao Zhou. She looked generously at the media and sighed, “You asked me what I think of Ning Yao’s death. To be honest, I had no thoughts about her. I didn’t prevent her from taking the road of no return. Now I have no right to comment on her or judge her. The deceased is gone. I hope she can rest in peace.”

Ning Qing’s answer was not artificial and fake, and the reporter showed a satisfied expression.

“Miss Ning, what about those from the past?”

Those from the past?

Ning Qing looked at the questioner. Was this question asking about Lu Shaoming?

People were gasping; this person had dared to ask this question? This topic had become a taboo topic in T city, no one dared to speak about it now.

But people were holding their breath in anticipation of her answer. The essence of entertainment was gossip. Everyone was looking forward to Ning Qing’s answer.

Ning Qing’s autumn pupils overflowed with moving light and she raised her eyes. She looked at the second floor. In the corridor of the second floor, an elegant figure slowly walked out. She showed a gentle smile like water. “In my heart, there has never been a past, only time passed, but the person in my heart never existed before, and will never come again. It will always be him, full of his love for me.”

Ning Qing finished, and the entire place was silent.

This was Ning Qing’s first public confession.

So brave, so passionate.

At this time, Ning Qing, who was on the rostrum stood up, and she drew out a silky smile under the eyes of all the people. Her voice was light and soft as she said, “Young Master Lu, please stay.”

Young Master Lu?

The reporters whipped their heads around to look when the person who had just been mentioned appeared.

It was really Lu Shaoming.

He wore a pair of shiny leather shoes. He led several leaders of the shopping mall and was discussing the blueprints with them. He walked by the rostrum, did not look there, and instead just looked at the blueprints with concentration.
