The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 539 - 492

The siblings returned to Rong Mansion, where the family had prepared a meal, and Qiao Qiqi feasted once more.

When Rong Che came back and saw Qiao Qiqi surrounded by her brothers, talking and laughing, he intended to go over and greet them, but just as he opened his mouth, they ignored him and went upstairs.

Rong Che, "..."

Well, even the brothers are ignoring me now.

Fifth Young Master Rong was extremely frustrated, as Rong Nian Nian continued to pester him, making Rong Che even more agitated.

Sob, sob, sob, he better go find his sister!

After Qiao Qiqi took a bath and changed her clothes, she checked her phone, which only had messages from classmates, but none from Gu Shili.

Could he really be mad at me?

Qiao Qiqi felt a bit uneasy; she really didn’t want Gu Shili to be angry.

The phone rang; it was a call from Ning Xiuyuan, and she picked it up.

"Hello."

"Why was your phone turned off?" Ning Xiuyuan had called earlier when her phone was off.

"Oh, I went abroad and just got back. How’s your studying going?" Qiao Qiqi said while opening her computer. The college entrance exam was in three months, and Ning Xiuyuan’s grades had improved, but getting into a top university was still challenging.

"I’ve been feeling uneasy lately. When are you coming back? If you don’t come back soon, I can’t concentrate on studying." Ning Xiuyuan said weakly, his desk covered with pictures of Qiao Qiqi.

"It should be soon."

Qiao Qiqi still had some things to deal with, and once they were done, she could return.

"I’ll treat you to barbecue when you come back!" Ning Xiuyuan immediately perked up.

"Alright, hurry up and study. I’m waiting for you to join me at Jing University." Qiao Qiqi said.

Ning Xiuyuan, "..."

He felt a little heartache.

After finishing the call with him, Qiao Qiqi saw a message from the manager of the jadeite store, discussing the jewelry brand ambassador.

"Mr. Qiao, I’ve shortlisted a few candidates for you to review." The manager, having never met Qiao Qiqi, assumed she was much older.

After all, someone who can run a jewelry company must be quite extraordinary, and it never occurred to him that his boss was a little girl.

Qiao Qiqi looked through the options; they were indeed good, but she didn’t plan to use outsiders. She said, "I already have someone in mind, Zhou Zi Yun, Qu Duo."

Zhao Peian looked at the two names. Zhou Zi Yun was suitable, as she was a veteran diva, but Qu Duo didn’t quite seem to fit their jewelry brand’s image?

"Miss Zhou indeed fits our brand’s positioning and can attract affluent housewives, but this star Qu Duo... isn’t she a bit unsuitable?"

Zhao Peian had been thoroughly researching artists for the brand ambassador role. Qu Duo used to appear pure and sweet, and endorsing jadeite jewelry was acceptable, as she could project a dignified persona. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

But recently, her style has dramatically changed, appearing wild and untamed, adopting a dominatrix persona, which severely clashes with the jadeite image.

In his view, jadeite should be dignified and elegant.

"President Zhao, you need to change your mindset. Just go with her, and you’ll understand in the future."

Qiao Qiqi didn’t elaborate much and left him to the task.

Zhao Peian was just an employee, and since his boss had given the order, he had to comply, though he felt disgruntled inside, thinking Mr. Qiao was simply messing around, sure that she’d eventually hit a wall.
