The CEO’s Substitute Wife Is A Genius
Chapter 205 Nothing, Trust the Wife

Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Nothing, Trust the Wife

The people inside the venue went crazy when they saw the barrage of comments.

Celebrities began to buzz, recalling various memories.

"It’s a curtain, I remember the makeup room’s curtain was this white print with large peony flowers on it."

"Yes, I also remember. I even complained to my assistant about how tacky those curtains were."

"Who’s Wen Rui’s designer? That’s quite bold, isn’t it? If the dress turns out good, it’ll dazzle everyone; if it’s bad, it’s a total wreck."

"Obviously, she succeeded; it wasn’t a wreck."

Watching Wen Rui, who was striking poses beside the luxury car, continuously being photographed from every angle, the female celebrities felt envious and jealous.

Lu’s new car endorsement actually ended up with her?

What exactly does she have going for her?

"Could it be that the ’dress incident’ was all part of the plan. I feel like this is a publicity stunt. Otherwise, with Wen Rui’s status, how could she represent Lu’s new car line?"

"Now that you mention it, things are clearer. Wen Rui’s team is impressive. They probably signed a bet-hedging agreement with Lu: they create buzz and traffic, and Lu gives her opportunities. It’s a win-win outcome for both."

"Is Wen Rui’s team really that good? She’s not that famous."

"To get signed by Huayin, become Lu Zhan’s ’younger apprentice’, do you really think that’s just ordinary? She must have a sugar daddy backing her up."

The crowd speculated wildly, but they could never guess that Wen Rui had no sugar daddy. The person covering for her was a university student named Jiang Man, who looked like a troubled girl.

After Wen Rui’s stunning appearance, Lu Xingzhou’s phone was bombarded with calls.

Many veterans on the board didn’t know he’d arranged Wen Rui as the last-minute endorser. They worried the new car line would suffer in reputation because of Wen Rui.

Lu Xingzhou wasn’t in a hurry. He decided to let things play out for a bit, as a clearer answer would soon emerge.

"Zhao Huai, send out a press release."

He rejected all calls from the directors. After calling Zhao Huai, he switched his phone to silent mode.

In the corridor, Nan Juefeng couldn’t help but glance at him, surprised at his bold move.

"President Lu has guts, using such an unknown person for the endorsement of a 20-billion project?"

"It’s nothing, just trusting my wife," Lu Xingzhou said with a smirk, appearing to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

But the words were clearly deliberate.

Nan Juefeng choked, his facial expression turned stiff in an instant.

He, too, had only learned today that Jiang Man could design clothes.

The two stunning outfits on Wen Rui were both her creations.

He asked himself if he could have absolute faith in Jiang Man’s ability to make Wen Rui trend and bet a 20-billion project on her.

The 20-billion project doesn’t need Wen Rui, but Wen Rui needs this 20-billion project.

If Wen Rui lost this game, what awaited Lu Xingzhou wouldn’t just be the board’s accountability but also the condemnation of shareholders worldwide, and he might even lose his CEO position!

Madness, pure madness!

Nan Juefeng couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the man beside him, casually resting with one leg crossed over the other, his side profile at once noble and charming.

It was rare to see him dressed so flamboyantly, appearing as if he were a beautiful gentleman.

He lifted the corners of his mouth, smiling bitterly.

It felt like a form of letting go, as well as a kind of self-redemption.

Perhaps this was the reason Jiang Man didn’t choose him, but chose Lu Xingzhou instead.

This sort of unconditional trust was something he dared not gamble on, nor even attempt. Taking risks was out of the question.

"Manman, you did great!"

Nan Juefeng turned his head back and gave a thumbs up to the girl behind him.

His eyes caught Caesar next to him: "If I’m not mistaken, Manman must be a designer under LV, and she holds quite a significant rank."

He specifically used French to say that, easily switching between Chinese and French.

Upon hearing this, Caesar showed keen interest, "Mr. Nan is smart, your guess is very correct."

"Is she Anna?" Nan Juefeng’s gaze briefly connected with Caesar’s.

Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, a look of confusion on her face.

Why did everyone seem to think she was Anna?

Anna’s designs tended to be bold and vivid, with very daring use of colors, especially fond of blending multiple hues.

She was different, preferring colors to be as simple as possible, even for luxurious gowns like the ’Queen’s Crown and Robe’ series, the color scheme was unified and singular at a glance.

"Interesting," Caesar said, laughing as he squinted his eyes after hearing Nan Juefeng’s opinion.

"Young master, when will you reveal the answer to everyone?"

"No rush." Jiang Man took out her phone and looked through the news reports about the V-blog Night online.

She and Yi Sha had a ’bet’, Yi Sha looked down on Wen Rui and refused to design clothing for her.

And she did it just to stand up for Wen Rui.

...

The gala lasted several hours, continuing from the afternoon until it finished at nine in the evening.

Yi Sha left early, and as soon as she stepped out of the stadium, she was surrounded by a group of reporters.

"Yi Sha, Lu Zhan was the king of the red carpet tonight; what was your inspiration when you designed his outfit?"

"Previously, you mentioned that you plan to retire from the industry after V-blog Night. Is Lu Zhan’s outfit your magnum opus?"

"Your fame and popularity have multiplied several times, and you’re on the cusp of joining the ranks of top-tier designers. Won’t you reconsider staying in the fashion field for a few more years?"

The reporters’ questions were plentiful, and Yi Sha grinned through them all, unable to conceal her cunning thoughts.

"Previously, I was in matchmaking to get married and retire, but the matchmaking ended in failure. Fortunately, I was frustrated in love but successful in my career! I’ve decided to put romantic matters aside and strive in the professional field for a few more years!"

"Actually, my performance has been consistent. My level has been about the same. The reason why Lu Zhan has gained so much attention this time might be because he’s a popular figure himself, followed by many. I hope fans will notice my other works. They are all pretty great."

"Manman, Yi Sha has such a thick face. It was obviously you who gave little advice to Brother Zhan, elevating the taste of that outfit," Wen Rui said while wrapping her arm around Jiang Man’s, just as they saw Yi Sha proudly praising herself upon leaving the venue.

As soon as the two appeared before the media, the reporters who had been swarming Yi Sha all shifted fronts to confront Wen Rui.

Dozens of microphones crowded in front of Wen Rui, scaring her, unaccustomed to the spectacle, as she repeatedly sought refuge behind Jiang Man.

The reporters were witty, with questions flying one after another.

"Wen Rui, who’s your designer? I heard that what you’re wearing tonight isn’t haute couture, but it stood out."

"Is the outfit you’re wearing really made from curtains?"

"The whole internet is buzzing about you. How did you land the endorsement deal with Lu’s? Is there a story behind it?"

When Lu Zhan came out, he saw Wen Rui hiding behind Jiang Man like a frightened rabbit and quickly stepped forward to protect her.

"If you have any questions, come to Huayin tomorrow; the company will have someone to receive you and answer," he said.

As Lu Zhan was about to leave while protecting Wen Rui,

Jiang Man turned to Yi Sha, "What do you think? Are you convinced?"

Yi Sha didn’t expect that she would be provoked in such a situation.

"Convinced of what? We are evenly matched. You have Wen Rui, but I have Lu Zhan!"

"Tsk tsk, what about your face?" Jiang Man shook her head with a mischievous look in her eyes.

Yi Sha glared at her, furious and guilty: "Have some quality, okay? Don’t insult people!"

"It seems I have overestimated your moral baseline. The red carpet look for Lu Zhan is different from the original design you set, why don’t you tell the media about that? Hmm?"

The last word, ’hmm?’, Jiang Man’s voice rose with a hint of amusement in her eyes, cold and devilish, presenting a challenging and oppressive demeanor...
