Join the ServerQin Xuzhi called again to confirm whether Chu Yueyao really knew how to dress up.
– Get me the surveillance footage from the Linhai City audition site!
– It’s not easy to get Starflare Entertainment’s surveillance…
– Spend whatever it takes. I just want results! Qin Xuzhi shouted.
If some blind dog actually dared to touch the meat in Qin Xuzhi’s bowl, she would make sure he died horribly.
****
On the other side, in an apartment.
Hua Mu’ai lay on the big bed, her fair calves dangling in the air.
She looked at the phone screen at another thank-you message from Chu Yueyao. The corners of her mouth curled up.
‘Heh, when this lady takes action, nothing is impossible.’
She directly dialed Chu Yueyao’s voice call.
After two rings, the call connected.
– Mu… Mu’ai? Chu Yueyao’s voice was shy. Why did you suddenly call?
– What? I did you such a big favor, and you can’t even answer a call?
– No, no, no, I didn’t mean that! Chu Yueyao panicked, waving her hands even though Hua Mu’ai couldn’t see. I’m just too excited. I don’t know how to thank you.
– Heh, you do have a conscience. So, how are you going to repay me?
A brief silence on the other end.
Chu Yueyao stammered,, I’ll treat you to a meal? But I don’t have much money… Or I could clean your place and wash your clothes…
– Who wants you to do those rough chores! Hua Mu’ai was amused, rolling her eyes. I’m not some devil.
– Then… how should I repay you?
– Take me gaming. Get me to Platinum. No, Diamond!
– Ah? Chu Yueyao was stunned, not expecting such a simple request.
– Ah what? Don’t want to?
– Of course I want to, Chu Yueyao quickly agreed. I promise to carry you.
– That’s more like it. Hua Mu’ai nodded in satisfaction. Tomorrow at 2 PM, same place as usual. If you’re even one minute late, you’re dead!
– Okay, I’ll be there on time.
She hung up, tossed the phone aside, and rolled over on the bed.
‘Yeah, tomorrow she’d be carried by a pro again.’
As for that annoying Shen Tinglan…
Hua Mu’ai snorted coldly.
As long as she went out every day, that bad woman couldn’t mess with her.
Tomorrow, she’d make Chu Yueyao see her true skill!
The next day, at 2 PM, at the entrance of Flying Fish Internet Cafe.
Hua Mu’ai had a lollipop in her mouth, idly kicking the curb.
Not far away, a figure walked quickly.
Chu Yueyao wore a gray T-shirt and loose sweatpants today. Combined with her ever-present black-rimmed glasses and thick bangs, she looked completely dowdy.
Hua Mu’ai circled around Chu Yueyao twice, dissatisfied. “Why do you still look like this?”
Chu Yueyao felt uneasy under the scrutiny. “I… I only have these clothes. We’re just gaming today, so what I wear doesn’t matter, right?”
“Matters a lot.” Hua Mu’ai rolled her eyes, poking Chu Yueyao’s forehead. “You’ve passed the preliminaries now. You’re going on TV soon, facing millions of viewers in a live stream. With that look, you’ll definitely be eliminated.”
Chu Yueyao panicked.
She twisted her hands together, her eyes reddening. “But I’m not pretty, and I don’t have money to buy nice clothes. I… I can’t help it.”
“I can help!” Hua Mu’ai put her hands on her hips, full of authority. “This lady says you’re pretty, so you’re pretty. Your looks are just sealed, understand?”
With that, she grabbed Chu Yueyao’s wrist and dragged her to the roadside.
“Huh? Where are we going? Aren’t we gaming?”
“Forget gaming. First, I’m taking you to change your outfit, or you’ll get eliminated again.” Hua Mu’ai hailed a taxi.
Half an hour later, they stood at the entrance of Xinghui Plaza.
Chu Yueyao looked at the golden revolving doors and the well-dressed men and women coming and going, her legs trembling.
“Mu… Mu’ai, why are we here? The clothes here are very expensive…” Chu Yueyao refused to go in.
“Look at you, so spineless!” Hua Mu’ai grabbed her hand. “Did I bring you here to make you pay? I’ll cover all expenses today.”
No way. The card Wang Kaiming gave her could buy half the mall’s clothes.
No matter how Chu Yueyao resisted, Hua Mu’ai dragged her into the mall and headed straight for the women’s clothing section on the third floor.
They entered a boutique called Channier.
Several salesclerks were chatting together.
Hearing footsteps, one with curly hair turned around. She scanned Hua Mu’ai and Chu Yueyao, and her professional fake smile instantly vanished.
A little girl probably 1.4 meters tall, no matter how cute. Plus a country bumpkin. This combination was definitely here to freeload air conditioning.
The curly-haired woman turned back to continue chatting with her coworkers, not even bothering to approach.
Hua Mu’ai ignored her. She walked straight to a row of new season items, picked up a purple dress, and held it against Chu Yueyao.
“This one’s nice. The color complements your skin. Go try it on.” Hua Mu’ai shoved the dress into Chu Yueyao’s arms.
Chu Yueyao sneaked a peek at the price tag and was terrified.
“Eight… eight thousand?!” Her hand shook, and the dress almost fell.
The exclamation caught the attention of the salesclerks.
The curly-haired woman walked over and snatched the dress back from Chu Yueyao.
“Hey hey, be careful, miss! If you stain this fabric, can you afford it?” She brushed off the dress with a look of disgust.
Chu Yueyao stepped back in fear, head down, not daring to speak.
Hua Mu’ai’s face darkened.
“What do you mean?” she asked coldly.
“Just what I said.” The curly-haired woman looked Hua Mu’ai up and down and sneered. “Little girl, this is a luxury boutique, not the wholesale market downstairs. If you want to try on clothes, turn left and go down to the basement level. Clothes there are dozens of yuan each. You can try them as much as you want.”
“You dare look down on me?” Hua Mu’ai was furious.
“I didn’t say that.” The curly-haired woman continued her sarcasm. “It’s just that the clothes in our store really don’t suit a bumpkin’s temperament. Wearing them would be a waste.”
Chu Yueyao tugged at Hua Mu’ai’s sleeve and whispered, “Let’s go. This place really isn’t for me…”
“Scared? Today, you’re definitely buying that dress!”
Hua Mu’ai opened her small bag, pulled out a card, and slapped it on the glass display counter.
“Call your store manager!”
The curly-haired woman glanced at it casually.
The next second, her eyes widened.
It was a black gold card!
In Linhai City, the number of people who owned one could be counted on one hand.
Her face turned pale. Her legs went weak, and she almost fell to her knees.
“I’m… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were…”
