Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 525 - 214: Here to Cause Trouble or Show Support_3
"Fatty," Su Ziceng sighed, taking off her Red Love bracelet. She didn’t struggle to adjust as much as she had anticipated; she no longer needed Red Love to help her control her emotions. At today’s banquet, she managed quite well, "I’ve reserved the right to priority purchase of Green Love. When I have more funds available, sell Green Love to me."
Although Su Ziceng was still immersed in the emotions of her breakup, she knew that as an independent individual, she still had to face everything in Mo City. Now bereft of her family’s protection, she had to find a way out for herself.
"Ziceng," Qiu Zhi examined Su Ziceng’s face, hesitantly saying, "If you like it, just take it. I don’t care for dirty things produced by the Pello family. You did the right thing by returning the ring. You... don’t be too upset. Pello is not worth it, there are plenty of good men in the world... One less of him doesn’t matter. You’re a fine woman, no, you’re a great woman..."
Qiu Zhi’s speech became more fragmented, causing Lin Ying, who was beside him, to bristle, "Look here, Mr. Fatty, after going around in circles with so much nonsense, can you focus on the main point?"
Interrupted by Lin Ying, Qiu Zhi became even more flustered, "I am also a good man, I can make money, whatever you want I can also buy for you..."
Lin Ying struggled to hold back her laughter; this spherical man’s face had turned into a red balloon, seeming like it would burst at the slightest poke.
Su Ziceng did not laugh; she just looked at Qiu Zhi amiably.
"What I mean to say is, you could consider... I mean, if you think it’s appropriate, we could... you could marry me?" At the moment Qiu Zhi finished speaking, Lin Ying’s laughter burst forth like a volcanic eruption.
"Fatty... Qiu Zhi," Su Ziceng felt even more powerless, but she still pulled Lin Ying to signal her to stop laughing, "You and I, we’re not very compatible."
The red balloon immediately deflated. Qiu Zhi’s face was filled with disappointment, and he fell silent. He knew that women preferred bad boys, and good men like him who didn’t smoke, drink, or flirt were ironically the ones left on the shelf.
"Fatty," Su Ziceng stood up, placed her hands on Qiu Zhi’s knees, and gently kissed his forehead, "You deserve a better woman."
The room was quiet. Qiu Zhi’s eyes brimmed with tears; he held back the sob that was in his throat and nodded. His grandmother was indeed prescient; Su Ziceng and he were not suitable for each other.
After sending Qiu Zhi away, Lin Ying was still concerned about Su Ziceng, "What are your plans for the future?" If it wasn’t for that human-shaped fat ball rambling on earlier, Lin Ying wouldn’t have known that Su Ziceng, who previously lived without worries as a wealthy heiress, had suddenly become so pitifully destitute, thrown out of her home and abandoned by her lover within a few short days.
"I had originally planned to talk about the exclusive dealership of ZARA with Orleans after attending Mrs. Bao Qin’s wedding, but looking at the current situation, just like the title, the dealership right has been transferred to Pello’s control," Today’s encounter with Pello was a closure for Su Ziceng; she didn’t want to have any more contact with Pello for a while. She needed time to heal her emotional wounds.
"Based on what you said before, the esteemed Count Pello must have arranged everything early. If he wished, he could easily give you the ZARA dealership as a break-up compensation," Lin Ying was still somewhat resentful. Su Ziceng had previously been too generous, and for the heartless man, she should have struck a ruthless blow earlier.
Lin Ying couldn’t understand Su Ziceng’s feelings, nor did she comprehend the decades of entangled love and hate between Su Family and the Pelos.
"You don’t have to worry. It’s okay if ZARA is gone. Do you remember the matter I mentioned to you over the phone last time?" This time, Lin Ying’s tone was full of confidence, quite unlike the uncertainty she communicated last time over the phone. She walked the runway and met many celebrities in the fashion world, but she also knew the fierce competition within the fashion industry; she couldn’t always rely on her Eastern face to remain at the pinnacle among top models.
"What are you referring to?" Su Ziceng also recalled Lin Ying mentioning this matter.
"There’s a company on the brink of bankruptcy in North America. I heard about it when I was walking the runway in New York. The director of that company wants to restructure or even considers selling the business. When you’re feeling better, let’s take a trip to the United States and have a good talk with that company’s director," Lin Ying made sure of this information through her contacts in the North American fashion circle before daring to tell Su Ziceng.
The poorly managed clothing brand itself had a long history. In recent years, due to designer and market positioning issues, it had been marginalized, but the brand had a good customer base; with proper development, it could still be profitable.
"Okay," Su Ziceng readily agreed, now all alone in the world, she simply needed to contact Sister Mu to fly to the United States.
However, before she could make the call, Qiu Zhi, who had left earlier, hurriedly knocked on her door again, "Ziceng, Su Family... Su Family has gone bankrupt." (To be continued.
