Chapter 266: Red Carpet
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
“Okay, I will wait. If you really surprise me on the red carpet that day, I will agree to be your company’s endorser and promise you that I will wear the garments and jewelry designed by your company on any occasion, okay?”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, “Really?”
He Wanyi shrugged and said arrogantly, “My family has enough money for me to squander for several lifetimes. I endorsed those luxury brands, because I just don’t want to see those people who I don’t like showing off in front of me, and I entered the entertainment industry, because I like acting. So I can endorse your company’s clothes and jewelry for free.”
“Good! Sister Wanyi, I must have you as my company’s free endorser! If I can’t persuade you in the end, I will do it myself. I don’t mind entering the entertainment circle for my own brand.”
“Come on, I have a feeling that if you enter the entertainment industry, my male fans might all dump me.” He Wanyi said jokingly, “Your present tasks are to study hard, learn design and operate your company well. By the way, how did you come up with the idea of starting a company? Is it because…”
Tang Xi nodded. “My friends thought my design drawings were not bad, so they suggested me opening a design company. I don’t know how to manage a company, and Qiao Liang said he would ask an expert to help me manage the company and I only needed to draw the design and didn’t have to worry about anything else.”
“Having Qiao Liang help you, you really don’t have to worry about anything, and your third eldest brother, he is also a commercial genius.” He Wanyi called the waiter to add a snack. “I need to grab a bite and then I have to go. I have a job tonight.”

…
The annual art performance of the First High School of City A was finally held. All the male students were in custom suits by named brands, and female students wore the dresses of their favorite brands. Everyone looked beautiful and couldn’t wait to show their talents on the stage. The red carpet was laid out from the gate of the school to the stage, and photographers were busy snapping photos.
Chen Ziyan who was in a purple Chanel dress ran to Tang Xi’s car that was actually a nanny van that He Wanyi had lent to Tang Xi. It was very spacious in the car, in which Tang Xi, clad in ZWS casual wear, was taking a nap and a makeup artist was busy preparing cosmetics for her. Chen Ziyan hurriedly urged Tang Xi when she saw Tang Xi hadn’t change clothes, “The red carpet show is going to start soon. I’ve overheard outside that more than one bitch said they would defeat you tonight. Why are you still taking a nap here? And you haven’t even changed your clothes! Where’s your dress?”
Tang Xi didn’t open her eyes to take a look at Chen Ziyan until she heard Chen Ziyan’s voice. As a pretty girl, being dressed up, Chen Ziyan looked even prettier and was almost shining. The purple dress suited her fair skin tone perfectly. Tang Xi smiled. “You are gorgeous today.”
“Me…” Chen Ziyan stared at Tang Xi. “I know I’m gorgeous! What I’m talking about is that it will be too late if you don’t change clothes right away! I heard that He Wanyi will come today, so will Tong Lu and Fang Yihang. Oh, they’re so handsome! Don’t you want to see them?”
“Are they as handsome as Qiao Liang? What’re they like compared to my brothers?” Tang Xi lazily glanced at Chen Ziyan as she said, “I see handsome guys every day, so I don’t have any feelings towards them. You can go see them if you want, but I don’t feel like it.”

Chen Ziyan looked at Tang Xi in astonishment and exclaimed after quite a while. “Shit, Xiao Rou, are you trying to annoy me?! You know I don’t have a brother! I hate you! And I’m going to go see handsome boys!” She jumped out of the car and ran back two seconds later. “Hurry up,” she said, “The red carpet show is about to start. The students will think you have stage fright if they don’t see you.”
Tang Xi smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll give the finale performance. My brother asked me to walk down the red carpet with him.”
Xiao Jing and Qiao Liang were both shareholders of the school, so they would show up tonight. She had thought they wouldn’t come, because they were both particularly busy for the past two weeks. Xiao Jing was busy as a bee. She had video calls with Qiao Liang or met him in Aunt Qiao’s villa from time to time, but she hadn’t seen Xiao Jing for two weeks.
Chen Ziyan pursed her lips. “No wonder you are not in a hurry. It’s just because you’re going to walk the red carpet with President Xiao.” Chen Ziyan turned to leave as she said.
Tang Xi smiled. At this time, the makeup artist had got the cosmetics ready and said to Tang Xi, “Miss Xiao, please change your clothes first, and then I’ll help you make up and do hair. “With that, she turned to get off the car so that Tang Xi could change. Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, turned to open a gift box and took out a bright red dress.
In this red dress, Tang Xi looked even more lustrous and her face was like the soft pink found on flower petals. She was stunningly beautiful even without make-up. Tang Xi opened the door of the car to let the makeup artist in, and the latter was stunned when she saw Tang Xi. It had been quite a while before she murmured, “Miss Xiao, you really don’t need make-up.”
Tang Xi smiled. “I feel the same way, but wearing make-up is etiquette for women. Just pencil my eyebrows and rouge my lips.”
“Okay.” The makeup artist put on Tang Xi make-up without any hesitation and then handed her a mirror. Tang Xi looked at herself in the mirror and gave a satisfactory smile to the makeup artist. “I am very satisfied. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, but you don’t actually need make-up, Miss Xiao.” She had seen a lot of flawless-skinned stars, but had never seen before a woman whose skin was so perfect.
On this side, Chen Ziyan had been waiting for Tang Xi outside the red carpet, and some people who were jealous of Tang Xi had begun to taunt her. A girl who was in a red dress and looked coquettish turned towards Chen Ziyan as she said, “Hey, Chen Ziyan, are you waiting for that country bumpkin? Does she know how to walk the red carpet? She’d better watch out so that she doesn’t sprain her ankle in high heels!”
Upon hearing her sarcastic words, the people around her laughed. “Yes,” said another girl with a laugh. “I’m always confused why the people in Class A, Grade one take her as their goddess. She fools around on campus wearing ZWS every day. Her existence really degrades us. Will a bumpkin like her know how to wear a dress and high heels? I think she’d better hide and not make a spectacle of herself!”
This was a girl wearing a black Dior dress. She had a cute face and looked very attractive in this dress.
Chen Ziyan narrowed her eyes, stared at the two girls and was about to speak, when a cold voice suddenly rang out. “Then what about you? Who do you think you are? Princesses?”
