Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 224 - 206 NB Sister of the Night, slapping the faces of higher-ups!
Chapter 224: 206 NB Sister of the Night, slapping the faces of higher-ups!
The executives hurried toward the elevator, each with an awkward smile on their faces.
"Ah, I knew it, how could the President delay the meeting for a date upstairs?"
"Exactly, our President might have been rebellious in the past, but now he’s completely turned over a new leaf... ah no no no, I mean he has grown up, matured."
Shen Jing squinted his eyes, realizing how these people really knew how to swing with the wind. Just moments ago, they were all speculating that the President was upstairs on a date; they weren’t speaking like this then.
"Eh? Do you think Miss Xia can pull off the endorsement? I heard she just finished her college entrance exams a few days ago, right?"
"Miss Xia, although a ’da jia gui xiu’, is just an amateur with no public recognition, this..."
All eyes were on Evan, the lead designer for the new product, eager to hear his perspective.
As expected, Evan also seemed a bit anxious, "I’m not concerned about fame, but the endorser must match the temperament of my designs."
At first, he seemed rather amenable, but in reality, his stance was firmer than anyone else’s.
In other words, if the President insisted on shoehorning a delicate, tearful young lady into the campaign, just to keep his little girlfriend happy, Evan was more than ready to sacrifice perfection rather than compromise his standards.
On the way to the top floor, Evan felt a little unsettled as he pinched the palm of his hand.
When he had sent the sample to them before, the President had told him only the surname ’Ye’.
At that time, he wondered, which celebrity has the word ’Ye’ in their name?
So it turned out to be a heiress...
Evan hurried a few steps to catch up with Shen Jing, "Assistant Shen, doesn’t the Xia Family have two heiresses? Is it the older sister or the younger sister that the President is interested in? How does she..."
Shen Jing replied promptly, "It’s the younger sister. She’s very beautiful. You’ll see for yourself soon enough."
But Evan still couldn’t relax. Being beautiful wouldn’t necessarily win the President’s heart, but what he wanted wasn’t beauty; it was personality!
He racked his brains for quite a while but couldn’t remember what this younger Miss Xia looked like, although he had once seen Miss Xia, the elder sister, at a cocktail party.
How to put it... she had that ’da jia gui xiu’ demeanor that he detested the most!
Considering they were sisters, he reckoned they would be quite similar...

Five minutes later, Evan followed the executives into the conference room.
The executives each explained themselves to Jiang Xuan, who simply nodded towards the conference table, "Take your seats quickly, we’re about to display the concept photos."
To save time, the room had been dimmed when the executives arrived, with only the huge screen behind Jiang Xuan lit up.
The concept photos of Xia Ye were already loaded into the projector, ready to be displayed.
Xia Ye sat next to Jiang Xuan, and Evan sat at a diagonal position from them.
Shen Jing shuttled back and forth with tea, and glanced at his well-appointed, impeccably formal boss and Miss Xia. He suddenly felt his previous wild thoughts about a major blunder were filthy.
Evan kept glancing over at Xia Ye, curious to see what this younger Miss Xia looked like to have the President so blatantly engage in ’unwritten rules’ with her.
Unfortunately, his seat was too far away, and with the lighting dim inside, it was even harder to discern the features of someone sitting against the light.
More importantly, ever since they entered, this Miss Xia occupied herself with tying shoelaces or scratching an itch – she never stayed still for a moment. He looked over for a long time and only saw loneliness.
Well, he would just wait for the slideshow.
Jiang Xuan had plans with the young lady that evening and didn’t want to waste time. As soon as everyone was seated, he signaled Shen Jing to start the slideshow.
The first photo was of Xia Ye leaning with her elbow on her knee, her pair of eyes that were like a wolf’s and yet like a fox’s, staring into the camera lens.
As soon as the image appeared, the executives, who were prepared to offer polite complements, were abruptly brought to a halt.
The shock they felt seeing the enlarged photo on the big screen was far more impactful than the surprise Wu Ma had felt looking at it on her phone.
Jiang Xuan was seeing it for the first time too, and his expression also paused momentarily.
He had thought that Xia Ye’s image would be a good fit for their new product, but he hadn’t anticipated it fitting so perfectly.
And he had been prepared that the photo might be a blurry selfie taken with a phone, with only half of the face and product visible.
His gaze lingered on Xia Ye, "I didn’t expect you to take this to heart."
Xia Ye raised an eyebrow, "Of course, I can’t take the task you arranged lightly."
Jiang Xuan was quite pleased.
Shen Jing stared agape at the photos cycling through the slideshow, "Miss Xia, where did you have these photos taken?"
