Hello Mr. King

Chapter 289: A Trap

This begged the question. If Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know this person, then why was Yun Xiangxiang mentioned to Chloe?

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t think the person was just some fan of hers.

“Can I see him?” Yun Xiangxiang needed to sort this out. She would not allow any hidden dangers to remain.

If she wanted to figure this out, Yun Xiangxiang felt that she had to see the person who knew her.

Chloe paused for a moment before nodding. “I’ll send you an invitation tomorrow. If you accept it, you can meet them.”

“Yes,” Yun Xiangxiang agreed. “Thank you.”

Yun Xiangxiang and He Wei left the company after the negotiations for the content, time, and the work after the filming.

The company gave her a few sets of lipsticks. Yun Xiangxiang was also announced as the new spokesperson on SQ’s official website. She posted a status about it.

[Actress Yun Xiangxiang V: I just became a spokesperson for SQ. These are the lipsticks they generously gave me. I saved some for myself. Everything else will be given away here. Repost this status to join this event. I’ll choose a hundred among you. Everyone will get one of these lipsticks. PS: Delivery starts one month after the event ends {😆}]

SQ lipsticks were luxury products. It enjoyed a lot of fame thanks to its complete variety of colors and its durability. It contained zero harmful ingredients and had a pleasant scent. It had always been popular.

Few actors would give away products given by the endorsed company like Yun Xiangxiang did. There was a reason for that.

The products given to the actors were the best of the best. It was a sign of respect from the companies.

Yun Xiangxiang thought she needed to promote this. It worked better that way since she couldn’t use up all these lipsticks on her own.

The Clouds took part enthusiastically. Even Wei Shanshan joined in, to the dismay of the Clouds and her fans.

Since they saw Wei Shanshan being mocked relentlessly, Yun Xiangxiang’s other friends didn’t join in.

Wei Shanshan’s drama finally wrapped up. Wei Shanshan was now filming a new show and taking part in numerous commercial activities. She was busier than Yun Xiangxiang was.

Now that she finally had some time to join in Yun Xiangxiang’s fun, she hoped Wei Shanshan would be chosen as one of the winners. If Yun Xiangxiang had time, she would give Wei Shanshan the lipstick herself.

“I’m beat.” Song Meng and Li Xiangling came back slightly late this day. It was almost midnight.

“Why are you girls so late?” Yun Xiangxiang was waiting for them. If they hadn’t called her to tell her they were safe, Yun Xiangxiang would have gone to pick them up.

“Oh god, I don’t want to talk about it,” Song Meng looked annoyed. “We got a big client today who made us do a whole car of desserts, literally. And he wanted us to make the delivery. Oh my god, his house is like a castle. It’s huge. But the owner is rude.”

The owner had a lot of servants, but he didn’t even get them to help the girls unload the desserts. Some of them were ice-creams.

The girls spent two hours just unloading the desserts. That wasn’t the end. The owner even asked them to send the desserts to a designated place.

The castle was impossibly huge. They walked until their heels were sore, and yet they didn’t see the owner. The servants only guided them.

They were there until midnight, and yet the servants still unwaveringly told them the directions. If they were in China, they would have thrown up a fuss.

“The owner also booked a whole load for tomorrow. Our manager said we’re getting more commission. This is quite the sweet burden,” Song Meng was in a dilemma.

They had a decent salary. After conversion, they would earn six thousand yuan per month, averaging two hundred yuan every day. If they had big clients like the one today, they could enjoy a commission of four to five thousand yuan. In other words, they would have twenty thousand yuan this month.

If they were in China, it was the salary of a high-end middle-class worker. Working with different clients every day was excellent training for them too.

But it was very tiring training, especially for big clients like this one.

“If you don’t want to make this kind of money, you can give them to someone else.” Li Xiangling and Song Meng didn’t lack money.

They were not working just for the money. Yun Xiangxiang wanted her friends to overcome this. This was an inevitable scenario in any work. It would be better for them to adapt to it earlier.

This was an excellent start for them. Giving them a mountain of pressure from the get-go would crush her friends. It was best for them to take it one at a time.

“We don’t have a lot of staff in the shop. If Xiangling or I went, we would need at least one person to come with us. It’s better to go together.” Song Meng gave up. “Forget it. We don’t meet people like this every day. It’s just one more day. What could happen, right?”

“Go and bathe. Remember to add some fatigue-relieving essential oil in the water,” Yun Xiangxiang urged with a smile.

She read as she waited for them. The girls were tired today. Yun Xiangxiang would usually talk about the exciting things she had come across that day before they slept. Not today. They slept in an instant.

When they woke up the next day, her friends still went to work happily. When Yun Xiangxiang was in the middle of filming, Chloe sent someone to give her the invitation.

Yun Xiangxiang opened it and saw that the feast was tonight. She was a last-minute guest. Yun Xiangxiang took her phone out and checked the location.

The invitation card said that it was a young miss’ birthday party. This was a private event.

Yun Xiangxiang called Song Qian and asked her to prepare her evening gown. She didn’t have to wear dresses designed by Deng Yang for private events.

When she was done with her work in the afternoon, Yun Xiangxiang left her workplace and went to style her hair and change into her evening gown. She told He Wei about what was happening.

“This is the invitation sent by Chloe?” He Wei rushed over and looked at Yun Xiangxiang, who was preparing for the event.

“Something wrong?” Yun Xiangxiang noticed that He Wei wasn’t looking good.

“This girl, Faye Cardicra. She’s one of the successors for Cardi Jewelry.” He Wei explained.

Cardi Jewelry was a world-renowned brand. It was at least on the same level as MonRoe was. Cardicra was one of the modern aristocratic families.

Faye Cardicra was the birthday girl stated in the invitation. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t expect the girl to be from such a powerful family.

Which meant Yun Xiangxiang chose the wrong gift. Giving MonRoe jewelry as a gift would be inciting hatred.

“This party might be a trap,” He Wei had to remind Yun Xiangxiang.

Events like this would usually send its RSVPs weeks before it would start. Adding Yun Xiangxiang at the eleventh hour wasn’t something to worry about, since she only asked about it the following day. But Chloe didn’t remind Yun Xiangxiang that the party was for someone in the jewelry business too.

This oversight landed Yun Xiangxiang in an awkward position with her gifts. She did have better ones, such as the diamonds Bhamra gave her. Every single one of them was great enough. But Yun Xiangxiang shared no connection with the Cardicra family. Giving them this would seem too ingratiating on her part.

But if her gift wasn’t great enough, Yun Xiangxiang might be laughed at. Since the person was waiting for her, they would look at what gift she would bring.

If Yun Xiangxiang didn’t insist on meeting the person, she could refuse this. But now that she did, refusing it would seem discourteous.

He Wei was suspecting that the contract signing yesterday was bait Chloe had set to lure Yun Xiangxiang into the trap.

“So what?” Yun Xiangxiang smirked and called Qi Jun. She wanted to buy a rare, but not-too-expensive wine from him.

The more the person tried to set her up, the more Yun Xiangxiang wanted to know who they were.
