Chapter 331 – Are you not aware of your own standing at all? (2)
“A few specialized counters called me a couple of days ago and informed me that the latest spring series had arrived. Shopping by oneself is boring. How would Miss Meng like to go shopping with me?”
Meng Jie wasn’t an awkward one. She smiled and accepted her invitation. “What a coincidence? I have been wanting to check out the new spring series as well. It will be a pleasure to go with Mrs. Lu.”
This was a shopping center with a designer brand shop every three steps and a luxurious brand every five. Ye Zhen didn’t even need to pull out the VVVIP card that was given to her by Madam Lu before she left the house, just Meng Jie’s face alone was enough for the salesperson to go up to them enthusiastically.
Almost all of them were brands that Meng Jie had been the spokesperson for at some point in time.
During the height of her career, Meng Jie had stood and looked down from the apex of the entertainment circle.
“Hi, Miss Meng, what can we do for you today?”
“Mrs. Lu and I would like to look at some of your early spring series.”
The salesperson eagerly brought them over to a VIP room and brought in the early spring series for the two of them to choose from.
Ye Zhen picked and chose. Everything that she picked out was either suitable for Madam Lu or useful for either Lu Beichuan or Zhouzhou.
The salesperson placed a blue dress in front of Ye Zhen and said to her, “Mrs. Lu, this is the last one in the entire Asia region. Our shop only got two of them. I think it will fit you very well; would you like to try it out?”
No matter what it was, the “only one” would always lend it special meaning easily.
The salesperson brought in another woman the second that Ye Zhen walked inside of the dressing room.
The woman was very ostentatious with jewelries and designer brands from head to toe along with a very arrogant mannerism. She smiled a peculiar smile the minute she saw Meng Jie. “Meng Jie? I didn’t think I would bump into you here.”
Meng Jie didn’t seem too surprised at the woman’s reaction toward her. In fact, she didn’t even bother looking over at the woman.
The woman removed her shades and gave her a meaningful look. “It had been such a long time. Are you at least going to say hi? We have been friends for many years after all, right?”
Meng Jie had a mild temperament. She never got angry or lost her temper as though nothing was ever worth getting angry over. In the eyes of a provoker, nevertheless, that made her appear to be very arrogant.
“I learned a couple of days ago that Miss Meng had participated in a... movie directed by someone unheard of. It was very difficult to believe that Superstar Meng had to stoop so low as to join the production of such a low-budget film. Or is Miss Meng too poor to put food on the table now?”
Meng Jie showed no particular expression. “That’s not important. What is important is the movie itself.”
“The movie itself...”The woman snickered. “I can’t wait to see how Qinhuai’s Riverbank would fare going head-to-head with my The Ultimate Warfare then.”
The door to the dressing room opened up. Ye Zhen, in the blue dress, walked leisurely over to the full-length mirror and appreciated the reflection of her own shapely body in the mirror. “Meng Jie, I heard that the actress for the protagonist in The Ultimate Warfare is Shen Weiyin. This lady does not look familiar at all. Pray tell, who is she playing in the movie?”
“I played the role of the second female lead, Ning Ke.”
“Ning Ke? Second female lead?” Ye Zhen chuckled and looked provokingly at the aggressive and arrogant woman in front of her. “Meng Jie is the first female lead in our movie. What makes you think you can measure up to her? You are just the second female lead. Comparing herself to you will be lowering her standing. Besides, since when can a second female lead represent an entire movie? Are you not aware of your own standing at all?”
Having said that, Ye Zhen smiled at the salesperson and said, “I’m in quite a good mood today. I’ll take this dress. Wrap it up for me.”
