Chapter 483: Chapter 474: Carlo’s Personal Invitation

Half an hour later.

Tong Yue washed her face with cold water, looked at the invitation card carefully three times, almost memorizing those few lines of elegant script before taking a deep breath and starting to call Jiang Lingxi.

The call didn’t go through.

"It’s not the right time, I guess she’s busy filming, the set is noisy, and the signal is bad, not hearing the phone is normal." After some self-mumbling, she wiped her hands, took the invitation, and went out.

Destination, Shao’s office.

As for the scripts and invitation letters on the desk, none of them were as important as this invitation.

This matter must be informed to the big boss, sooner rather than later.

Li Yuwen happened to be in Shao’s office at this time.

She was there seeking resources for Jing Huai.

Now, Jiang Lingxi and Jing Huai’s status in the industry and even within the company had flipped completely.

This reversal also caused a polar reversal in her and Tong Yue’s status.

How could she not feel angry about this?

When she saw Tong Yue walk in with a beaming face, it seemed even more glaring.

Tong Yue met Li Yuwen’s gaze, smiled, but her words were not polite, "Yuwen, you’re here too, I wondered why your office was empty when I passed by. By the way, your office needs tidying, I saw a lot of waste paper on the floor. You can’t just take it out on company property because your work hasn’t been smooth recently!"

Li Yuwen gritted her back teeth, "Sister Tong, I came straight to find Shao without having time to clean up."

"Are you done talking? If so, I have something to say, if not, I’ll wait on the side."

This time, without waiting for Li Yuwen to speak, Shao, who had been annoyed by her since early, spoke first, "Tong Yue, what’s the matter you need me for?"

Li Yuwen’s chest heaved violently, wanting to leave proudly, but also wanting to know what Tong Yue was about to say.

Eventually, she stood there with a pale face, unmoving.

Tong Yue was too lazy to care about her, and since what she had to say wasn’t something to hide, she estimated Li Yuwen would be infuriated after hearing it.

Staying and listening was her choice, so even if she gets angry, it’s not her fault.

"Shao, take a look at this."

The black and gold-toned invitation appeared upscale with its obvious embossed detailing.

Shao, who was about to sip his coffee, saw the embossment on the invitation, his hand trembled, and he put the coffee down, took a tissue to wipe his hands before accepting the invitation.

Although he ran an entertainment company, it wasn’t without ambitions to enter the fashion industry.

The international fashion event included top trendsetters in both the international fashion circle and the entertainment industry, he could certainly recognize this mark.

"This is?"

Seeing the usually composed Shao’s rare shock, Tong Yue smiled, showing eight teeth, "It’s for our little Lingxi, it just arrived."

Shao took a deep breath and opened the invitation.

Seeing the handwritten invitation and the name at the end, he lost his composure again.

"Carlo Hughes? Is it the Carlo I know?"

Tong Yue glanced at Li Yuwen, who was craning her neck to peek, stepped forward to block her view, "Shao, do you remember the condensed version video of the Liangchuan show released by Yun a few days ago? Lingxi was seated next to that Mr. Carlo, and she helped close the show. I guess that’s when she got recognized by him!"

Shao nodded repeatedly, "That’s certainly possible."

No, it’s true.

The handwritten invitation in his hand was evidence of Jiang Lingxi being recognized by Mr. Carlo.

Even though Li Yuwen hadn’t seen the invitation or its words, blocked by Tong Yue, listening to their conversation made the world seem absurd to her.

"No, impossible. Jiang Lingxi, what qualities does she have to be noticed by Mr. Carlo? It’s fake, this invitation is definitely fake!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she received two death stares.

Tong Yue sneered, "Do you think I’d joke with Shao about this? I’m not crazy to risk my job, just because your artist couldn’t do it, doesn’t mean Lingxi can’t. Have you heard of long accumulation yielding results?"

After mocking Li Yuwen, Tong Yue straightened her back, "Shao, here’s what I think: let’s postpone or decline the current offers, or postpone the decision if they’re willing. After Lingxi finishes filming in Liangchuan and returns, she rests for a few days, then fully prepares for the international fashion event a month later."

"After the fashion event, the offers from film and brand partners will likely be on a higher level, and her pay and endorsements can also see a rise. What do you think?"

Even Li Yuwen could see Shao was very pleased, not intending to hide it from his subordinates.

He immediately made a decision, "Alright, we’ll do as you say. The two scripts I gave you earlier were for supporting roles, but after returning from the fashion event, we can consider lead roles." He even thoughtfully added, "The weather in Liangchuan is very harsh and sunny, after shooting there for a month, Lingxi will need some serious self-care upon returning. We’ll cover those expenses as well, just give the invoices to the company!"

"I’ll thank Shao on Lingxi’s behalf!"

The joyous atmosphere contrasted sharply with Li Yuwen’s pale, disgruntled expression on the side.

"Make sure to keep the invitation safe," Shao said, retracting his hand to take a picture with his phone.

"Although it’s not addressed to me, it’s for my employee, something worthy of showing off."

Tong Yue: "Before Lingxi returns, I’ll make sure to keep it safe."

Thinking about it, the office didn’t seem secure either.

She’d carry it with her.

And seal it in waterproof and wrinkle-proof laminate.

That’s the plan!

When Tong Yue glanced at Li Yuwen, her face almost twisted.

Doing it on purpose? Deliberately speaking in her presence!

Though she indeed had the impulse to steal or destroy the invitation.

If she couldn’t even protect the invitation, how could she face the international fashion event?

"Shao, I’ll head out first."

"Hmm, go ahead."

Tong Yue: She swore it was the softest voice she’d ever heard from Shao since she joined the company.

Once she left the office, Shao turned to Li Yuwen, standing like a pillar, his previously calm brow knitted again, "Why are you still here?"
