Chapter 458: Chapter 449: Asking Jiang Lingxi for Help

Only when Carlo, despite his cold tone, genuinely greeted her did Shen Chuyue confirm that it was not her imagination.

This man in front of her was indeed the highly renowned and temperamental Mr. Carlo as rumored.

And now, he was actually lowering himself to talk to someone as insignificant as her.

Realizing this, she was both flattered and surprised, hurriedly bowing slightly to show her respect, "Hello, Mr. Carlo, I am Shen Chuyue, the founder of Shanyue Zhiheng. I am very pleased to watch the show with you. You are one of the people I admire the most. Oh my god, I’m so excited, I hope you understand."

Carlo quietly listened, showing a faint smile, "I’ve seen Shanyue Zhiheng’s clothes, they’re quite good."

If it weren’t for being in public, Shen Chuyue felt she could have jumped for joy.

She was praised by Mr. Carlo; this was one of her lifelong dreams.

Immediately after, she heard him ask: "But only one of them?"

"Uh, yes, because my cousin is also one of the people I admire the most."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingxi gave Shen Chuyue a helpless look. Master Carlo was just casually asking, and this girl answered too honestly.

"Hahaha, it seems your cousin is also an amazing person."

Carlo didn’t expect the girl to answer so honestly either, and smiled to praise himself indirectly.

"Yes, you and my cousin are both remarkable in different fields, and I admire you all greatly."

Others, standing far away, couldn’t hear what Shen Chuyue and Mr. Carlo were talking about, but anyone could see they were having a pleasant conversation.

He Jing gripped her phone tightly, almost breaking her back teeth as she watched this scene.

Shen Chuyue, relying on her closeness with Yun Chan, must have known early on about Mr. Carlo’s attendance and seating at the show; otherwise, how could her seat be so coincidentally close!

Moreover, Jiang Lingxi was merely a small starlet in the entertainment industry, without even a hit TV drama to her name, not even considered a second-tier celebrity. How did she connect with Yun Chan and then shake hands with Mr. Carlo?

Sadly, she thought until her head ached but still couldn’t figure out the connection among them.

Contrary to the excitement among the crowd in the venue, eagerly awaiting the show after spotting Mr. Carlo, the mood backstage was rather tense.

Yun Chan slammed her phone onto the dressing table, having failed to get through, "I reckon Hao Mei did it on purpose, probably married off her brain along with herself. If it weren’t for the use of traditional elements and being specially held in the country, she wouldn’t even have had the chance to be the finale. I gave her this opportunity out of goodwill, yet she had the nerve to stand me up!"

Yun Ping glanced at the message she just received on her phone and then turned to her sister’s cold face. She hesitated but handed over the phone, "This might have been her mother-in-law’s idea; the two of them just made an appearance at an international cruise auction."

Yun Chan looked at the photo on the phone with a sneer forming at the corners of her mouth, "As expected of the famous Mrs. Han. How long has Hao Mei been married into the Han Family? She’s already immersed in the role of a wealthy housewife, not even considering her own career. So, has a replacement model been found?"

"Not yet," said the person in charge of selecting all the models for the show standing nearby, shaking their head with a bitter face, "Hao Mei had promised so well before, I never expected her to pull this stunt. She’s the most important finale model, and out of the domestic models, she’s the most imposing and charismatic. It’s really hard to find someone who can match Hao Mei in such a short time."

"Han Rui is doing this to bother me because of past grudges. There’s no one more petty than her!" Yun Chan pounded the table with her knuckles twice, "We have only two hours left!"

The people around her were all startled by the exclamation.

The show was about to start, and they still lacked a finale model, leaving them with only two hours to find someone suitable.

The time was indeed pressing!

In the silence, Yun Ping quietly suggested, "If we really can’t find someone in this limited time, there are only two options. We could choose one from the current models to be the finale, or we could ask one of the famous models here for the show to step in as a backup."

Yun Chan couldn’t help but contemplate the feasibility of this suggestion.

After all, other options seemed bleak, and Han Rui really put her in a tough spot this time!

Thinking about it, she stood up and walked over to the outfit for the finale not far away, "Who among the models here do you think could carry this outfit besides Hao Mei?"

Yun Ping’s gaze also fell upon the outfit that her sister personally designed and crafted.

Clouds winding, vast and desolate like smoke.

In this environment filled with yellow sands, the outfit seemed like an embodiment of the desert, breathtaking and mesmerizing.

As a designer, the effort Yun Chan put into it was beyond words.

But even the best outfit needs someone to showcase it to reveal its most stunning beauty.

Which model present could pull it off?

Moreover, the outfit is very demanding on the model’s figure, not too fat, but also not too skinny.

Wearing it should not only be beautiful but also give a sense of strength.

Originally, Hao Mei barely met these requirements, but now, Yun Chan really didn’t want to settle!

No matter how anxious the key players backstage were, the show started on time regardless of the distinguished guests who had come from afar.

Jiang Lingxi and the others’ row of seats was already gradually filling up, but probably thanks to Mr. Carlo’s preference for peace, their area was the quietest in the entire venue.

As the opening model appeared on the stage with the music, Shen Chuyue temporarily forgot about the array of heavyweight guests around her, her eyes fixed on the model on stage, occasionally taking photos with her phone.

Compared to Yun Chan’s personally established Yun, her Shanyue Zhiheng was still just a child.

There was much to learn from this show.

As one piece after another was showcased by the models, the other areas unknowingly became silent, filled with the sound of cameras clicking, and the flashlights intertwined.

Yun Chan watched the models’ performance on the big screen backstage, glanced at her watch, and with satisfaction mixed with some urgency, reminded, "One hour left!"

The person in charge, holding a phone, couldn’t help but wipe the sweat off their face.

In their mind, they had already cursed Hao Mei thoroughly.

"Wait a minute," spotting Mr. Carlo’s face appearing seriously watching the show on the screen, but the person in charge’s gaze wasn’t on the old gentleman, instead, it was on the person sitting next to him, eyes suddenly lighting up, "Who’s that girl?"

The abrupt raising of his voice startled Yun Chan, who instinctively covered her ears, and when she turned her head, she saw the person in charge had a look as if he had found a savior, "Which one are you talking about?"

"The one with the yellow shawl sitting next to Mr. Carlo, she must be a model, right? Yun, do you know her?"

"I know her, but she’s not a model, she’s an actress."

"An actress? How come she’s an actress!"

Ignoring the person in charge’s frustration, as the camera swept over the VIP seats once again, Yun Chan fixed her gaze on Jiang Lingxi for a moment.

As Yun Ping hurriedly passed by behind her, she called out, "Pingping, I have an idea..."

There was a ten-minute break at intermission.

Jiang Lingxi grabbed three bottles of water from the small cart pushed over beside her, handed one to Shen Chuyue, and when she moved over to Mr. Carlo, she opened it for him as well.

Then from behind, Shen Chuyue’s voice came, "Sister Yun, why are you here?"

Jiang Lingxi also heard the hurried footsteps, and after handing the water to the old man, she turned to look.

"I’m here to see Lingxi." Yun Chan said while stepping in front of Jiang Lingxi and, bending down, whispered, "Lingxi, I have a favor to ask of you."
