Chapter 237: Chapter 0237: The first time I’ve seen such a cute woman

“I think women of the new era should be brave in expressing themselves, and with great conditions like yours, you can totally leverage them.

Nowadays, designers also need a personal brand and a unique personality; you can’t underestimate the effect of a fan-driven economy.”

Mu Lan was somewhat taken aback that such words would come from the editor of a top magazine.

Even if she packaged herself perfectly and was highly attractive, so what? To turn her brand into a mere extension of her fan merchandise? Once that fan fervor faded, what value would her brand hold?

“I’m sorry, Editor-in-Chief Zhang, I disagree with your request. If it involves taking bareback photos, I’d rather skip this interview.”

Zhang Yu looked at Mu Lan in surprise. Did she know who she was refusing?

“Perhaps Miss Mu is not very familiar with the fashion industry. This circle has its own rules, and we need to accommodate each other.”

Accommodate? Mu Lan scoffed.

“I am indeed a newcomer to the fashion circle, and I don’t understand these rules. But I do know what I need, and I’m truly sorry.”

Clearly, Zhang Yu had not expected this new designer to be so difficult to deal with. She had already planned out all the highlights for the silver ten; this was her first step in the domestic fashion circle, and Mu Lan was refusing?!

“Well, if that’s your choice, I can only accept it.

Emily, please see Miss Mu out.”

Soon, a young assistant came into the room.

Mu Lan stood up, politely nodded to Zhang Yu, and then turned to leave.

Yun Xi didn’t understand any rules or circles, she just felt it was outrageous to ask someone for a barebacked photo on the spot…

Looking at the somewhat dejected Mu Lan, Yun Xi blurted out four words.

“You did the right thing.”

Mu Lan looked at Yun Qi and couldn’t help but laugh; how could someone be so adorable?

“I think so too; as a designer, I don’t need to be so ostentatious.

What comes too far will turn back. My brand should be more attractive than me.

Fan economy… It’s better to have design and culture that are inherently fascinating.”

Yun Xi did not understand but still nodded in agreement.

As they stepped out of the building, Pei Zhao came toward them, accompanied by Tian Zuo and Tian You, and today, Lin Yize was with them as well.

Yun Xi quickly moved in front of Mu Lan, ready for battle at any moment.

Pei Zhao raised an eyebrow, finding her behavior adorable.

“What a coincidence.”

A coincidence? Mu Lan didn’t think so.

“Mr. Pei.”

Pei Zhao looked at Mu Lan, with the caution in her eyes, and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why the hostility against me? Yize, don’t you think your junior is being a bit excessive?”

Mu Lan looked up and saw Lin Yize, at first puzzled, then recognition dawned.

“Senior Lin? How come you…”

Lin Yize’s face showed a gentle smile.

“Mr. Pei is my boss.”

Mu Lan smiled politely.

“I see. It looks like you two have important matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you.”

About to leave, Pei Zhao maneuvered his wheelchair up to them.

“I was serious about the investment proposal I mentioned before; you might want to consider it.

It’s not because Huo Tingxiao said something that made you think I’m unreliable, is it?

If so, that truly saddens me. After all, Tingxiao and I were once close comrades.”

Mu Lan looked at Pei Zhao’s seemingly heartbroken expression, and then remembered the words Huo Tingxiao had said to her, and she instinctively became even more guarded.

Pei Zhao had been quite confident, but seeing Mu Lan’s reaction, he now felt somewhat uncertain.

“Mr. Pei, I know there’s a misunderstanding between you and Huo Tingxiao. If possible, you could perhaps talk to him…”

Pei Zhao calmly interrupted Mu Lan.

“Misunderstanding? Is that what he told you?

Now that my legs are disabled, he actually dares to call it a misunderstanding?

Such light and irresponsible words… he actually managed to utter them.”

Mu Lan was at a loss for words, but she couldn’t help but subconsciously defend Huo Tingxiao.

“He’s not the kind of person who runs away from problems. If it was his doing, he would definitely admit it.”

Pei Zhao’s gaze suddenly became sharp, and Lin Yize also felt intense jealousy because of Mu Lan’s protective words.

After all this time, does she still believe in Huo Tingxiao?

“Admit what? Admit how he abandoned me back then? Or admit that he’s lived with a clear conscience all these years?

Mu Lan, this is an issue between him and me, I didn’t intend to drag you into it.

You can rest assured that I won’t use you for anything.”

Pei Zhao said with a sincere face, but Mu Lan felt there was a shadow lurking within him.

Before Mu Lan could speak, Yun Xi couldn’t help but retort sharply.

“Don’t think she’ll believe you just because you say these things, ‘If you do not want anyone to know, don’t do it yourself’.”

Pei Zhao looked at Yun Xi leisurely, his smile becoming increasingly sly.

“Oh? Then why don’t you tell me what exactly I’ve done?”

Yun Xi really didn’t like Pei Zhao’s half-smiling expression, like he could see right through someone, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

“In any case, don’t think about harming her, I will fight you to the end.”

Pei Zhao was amused by her words.

“I really haven’t met a woman as adorable as you before.”

Yun Xi glared at Pei Zhao, sure that his last sentence was clearly a flirtation!

“Don’t force me to get physical with you!”

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Tian Zuo and Tian You rushed up to shield Pei Zhao behind them.

Yun Xi wasn’t intimidated by these defeated minions, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

And Pei Zhao spoke unhurriedly.

“With your skill, why bother troubling a disabled person like me?”

His words were clearly a taunt at Yun Xi. The last time they had clashed, she hadn’t got the upper hand, and she had almost had her arm disabled by him.

Mu Lan, seeing the atmosphere tense as if a battle might break out at any moment, quickly grabbed Yun Xi.

“Mr. Pei, Yun Xi is just worried about me and didn’t mean any offense.

About the investment matter, I’ve considered it, and if I need it, I will choose my brother, Mu Huaifeng, as an investor.

So, thank you for your concern.”

Pei Zhao raised an eyebrow, the fisherman benefiting from the snipe and clam fighting, he and Huo Tingxiao were delighting in their strife, forgetting there was a Mu Huaifeng too.

However, as long as it wasn’t Huo Tingxiao, he was pleased.

“Then I have no choice but to give up.

It’s business not friendship, you won’t reject my invitation, will you?

It would seem too distant, unlike the closeness we had when we were emailing.”

Close? Mu Lan didn’t like this term at all.

“Mr. Pei, I think there might be some misunderstanding. My relationship with you has always been one of courteous detachment, without any intimate behaviors.

I always remember those who have helped me, but… that doesn’t mean I have to develop a deeper relationship.

My energy is limited, and I can only give it to a few close people.

If I gave you any misunderstandings before, I apologize to you.”

Pei Zhao narrowed his eyes, her rejection was so straightforward, she still had Huo Tingxiao in her heart after all.

It seemed that he’d have to take drastic measures if his plan was ever to come to fruition.
