The next morning, when Jiang Li woke up in the guest room, the master bedroom was empty.
When she left the hotel, she casually asked the front desk and learned that Xiao Yanzhi had booked a flight early in the morning and had already returned to Beicheng.
He really came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
She didn't even know what he had rushed over for, and then left in such a hurry.
It was good that he left.
If Xiao Yanzhi had stayed here, who knew how he would have made things difficult for her.
Knowing that the dog man had left, Jiang Li was no longer in a hurry. She had breakfast in the hotel and then slowly returned to the branch company.
Originally, Sister Chen had been on high alert, but when she saw Jiang Li come back alone, she couldn't help showing surprise. "Where's General Manager Xiao?"
Jiang Li said, "He went back to Beicheng early in the morning. Maybe he had something urgent."
Hearing this, Sister Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yanzhi had flown all the way here. In her guess, it was very likely that he had come to inspect the company's operations.
The branch company hadn't made any outstanding achievements recently. She was afraid that Xiao Yanzhi would be dissatisfied, so she had worried all night.
Jiang Li stretched her shoulders and neck and casually asked, "Sister Chen, you said yesterday that Vitaly's PR had contacted you. Is there any follow - up?"
Sister Chen came back to her senses and nodded. "Berry sent me the cooperation documents early this morning. I'll show them to you."
Berry was a very discerning PR. When she first saw the photo on the social platform, she could hardly believe that the person in the picture was Jiang Li.
Although her eyes, nose, and mouth hadn't changed much compared to a few years ago, her overall temperament was completely different.
Berry didn't have Sister Chen's contact information. The photo had been sent by another partner. It had taken her a lot of effort to get in touch.
To show her sincerity, Berry even made a phone call.
"Ms. Jiang, I haven't been in touch with you for a few years. Your changes really surprise me!"
Berry was an outgoing person and said enthusiastically right away, "I used to think that you mainly went for the European and American style, and I never had the chance to cooperate with you. I've always felt sorry about it."
"Your photo in the Republic of China - style clothes is really amazing. I'm sure you're the most shining brand spokesperson for our company next year!"
Berry was extremely affectionate. "In addition, we're eagerly looking forward to seeing you at Vitaly's centenary celebration at the end of next month."
It was obvious that Vitaly was very satisfied with Jiang Li's current state and couldn't wait to make her their Asian brand spokesperson this year.
Actually, Jiang Li was also very surprised. She didn't expect that just a few photos taken by Sister Chen professionally could make her the best candidate in Berry's eyes.
In Sister Chen's words, this was an opportunity.
After the phone call with Berry, Jingyi's eyes sparkled with admiration. "Sure enough, it's Sister Jiang Li. She can easily win the endorsement of an international brand."
In their industry, opportunities were rare. But the most important thing was that when an opportunity came, one had to have enough ability and confidence.
Otherwise, even a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity would slip through one's fingers.
Opportunity and hard work were both indispensable.
"However, their brand is too high - handed. The last time we talked about cooperation with them was two years ago. Haven't they paid attention to the trends in the industry in these two years?"
Xiao Ye snorted disdainfully. "Even if they don't sign Sister Jiang Li in the end, it's their loss."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Chen tapped her on the head. "Don't talk nonsense. Capital has a much sharper sense than you think. The way they weigh the pros and cons is much more complicated than you can imagine."
Berry's words were just polite remarks.
The capitalists behind the scenes were more concerned about interests. They wouldn't make a decision easily without being able to guarantee the risk.
Jiang Li smiled and said seriously, "This time, our luck really exceeded our efforts."
Just now, Berry had mentioned in the call that this year was the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Vitaly brand. When they first started, they had designed clothes for the nobles during the Republic of China.
Naturally, this year's centenary celebration was also going to be themed "Paying Tribute to the Classics", designing new and improved cheongsams from the Republic of China era to promote the brand grandly and luxuriously.
And Jiang Li's snapshot in the Republic of China - style clothes was like a "Pearl of the East" in the eyes of the capital.
This time, Jiang Li had just happened to catch this opportunity.
"Just now, Berry said that later she would send someone to bring over Vitaly's high - end custom - made clothes so that we could choose first in preparation for the centenary celebration."
Hearing this, Sister Chen was overjoyed. "Did Berry also invite you to the centenary celebration?"
Jiang Li smiled brightly, her eyes curving into crescent moons. "Yes, Sister Chen. Our good days are coming."
This meant that they could quickly increase their exposure, and there would surely be an endless stream of resources and cooperation in the future.
Sister Chen could hardly close her mouth with joy.
When Berry's people brought over the high - end custom - made clothes, Jiang Li went into the fitting room to choose and try them on.
Moreover, Vitaly's business representative even came in person, saying that today, while finalizing the dress, they would also sign the endorsement cooperation.
Everything went smoothly, one step in place.
Sister Chen followed the business representative into the meeting room, while Xiao Ye and Jingyi stayed to watch Jiang Li change clothes.
While waiting, Xiao Ye lowered her head to play with her phone to kill time.
Suddenly, seeing a message, she couldn't help muttering to herself, "No wonder General Manager Xiao rushed back early this morning. It turns out that he's going to take Qin Yaoyao home to meet his parents today."
Since she had once worked under Qin Yaoyao, she naturally had her contact information and saw what she had posted on her private WeChat Moments -
"I'm going to officially meet the parents today. I'm so looking forward to it!"
Xiao Ye read it in a sarcastic tone and couldn't help rolling her eyes. "I really don't know where her confidence comes from. I wonder if she can share some with me."
"Is Qin Yaoyao going to meet General Manager Xiao's parents?" Jingyi was stunned. "Can she really marry into the Xiao family?"
Xiao Ye answered without even looking up. "She's like a toad setting off fireworks - ugly but showy. It's absolutely impossible for her to marry into the Xiao family."
Standing in the fitting room, Jiang Li was looking at herself in the mirror and could clearly hear the conversation between Xiao Ye and Jingyi outside.
No wonder Xiao Yanzhi had rushed back to Beicheng early in the morning. It turned out that he had gone back to protect Qin Yaoyao, afraid that she would be made things difficult for by the elders of the Xiao family.
Jiang Li shook her head helplessly and smiled.
She really was the treasure he held in his heart, and he wouldn't allow her to be hurt at all.
