Xiaochen “eh”ed, and quickly clutched the gift box as if flying towards the garbage can downstairs. She glanced at the dress, which was indeed beautiful and expensive, but after biting her lip, she still stuffed it into the garbage can.
What Lu Weixi didn’t know was that the dress that Qin Zhiyou ordered was for her, and it was in her size. The one for Liu Yiyi, he just bought randomly, its price wasn’t even a tenth of this one. The shop had sent the wrong one.
Xiaochen and Xiaoqian thought Lu Weixi would work till late, but to their surprise, she left right on time, took a taxi to Yuechun, drove her car back home, and also checked on Xue Feifei.
She did not tell Xue Feifei about Qin Zhiyou sending the wrong dress and her refusal to board the ship. Fortunately, the entertainment company didn’t punish her with another month of confinement for getting drunk yesterday. Xue Feifei could leave smoothly in a few days. Of course, the course she booked was not over, she had to continue studying for another month.
Lu Weixi stayed there until ten o’clock, then drove home. Upon arrival, Qin Zhiyou, as usual, was not there, he didn’t even call her.
She gave a cold laugh. She knew it. Today she had rejected Qin Zhiyou again. Given his character, he must be burning with anger. Maybe he really let Liu Yiyi on the ship this time.
With him not around, she felt more comfortable. After washing and skincare, she fell asleep on the spacious bed alone, which was simply too cozy.
Anyhow, after experiencing so much, she was very calm about whether she would board the ship or not. Anyway, the money was already in her hands. There would always be opportunities without Boss Liao and others. The key was whether she could seize them.
A day, two days passed, Qin Zhiyou did not come back. He did not call again and there was no more discussion about the maiden voyage.
After signing the contract with Qin Zhimei and Yu Sihua, they never sought her out again. They didn’t mention the decoration, nor talking about terminating the contract. But it was not a big deal. She had a contract. After a while, if they don’t pay, she’d go and collect the debt personally. She wouldn’t let them off lightly since it was put on paper.
Several more days passed.
There were still a few days before the maiden voyage, and Qin Zhiyou hadn’t come back. Hanhai chose to hold its 50th-anniversary celebration on a cruise ship to keep it as low-profile as possible. Although many business big shots were invited, the media and outsiders were banned from boarding the ship. They did not invite any entertainers and strictly limited the quota. So, in their daily chats, King of Gossip’s Xiaochen and Xiaoqian did not regard the maiden voyage of Hanhai as a topic of after-dinner conversation.
Her mentality was already pretty Zen. If Liao’s deal didn’t work out, there would be other opportunities. She was only 27 and as long as she didn’t lose the mindset to work hard, she could make it anytime. Perhaps she would, like Xue Feifei, go to university to get a Ph.D. someday.
She would have nearly forgotten about the ticket if it were not for a call that came in.
When the call came, Lu Weixi was busy. She rolled up her sleeves, wearing a safety helmet, watching the progress of the construction outdoors. Her construction site was near Xue Feifei’s college. After class, Xue Feifei came straight over.
Xue Feifei was a celebrity after all. Although she starred in a low-budget web drama, she was pretty, acted well, and caused quite a commotion when she came over. She gave autographs to those who asked, took photos with those who wanted, and when she finished and came over to Lu Weixi who was still busy working, her phone rang.. As soon as she picked it up, she heard:
