Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 601 - 241: Regret
It’s the last month for the socialite, allowing Fu Zi to shamelessly increase the posts; based on the principle of equality between new and old books, one additional post for every five fan tickets. Don’t complain, spread the word~

"The new model has been decided, and I wasn’t informed beforehand," Wen Maixue discontentedly questioned ZARA’s PR director. Since she got engaged to Pello, she had been busy taking over a series of projects including the Golden Coast. She was not particularly interested in this ZARA project at the beginning, it was only because Pello happened to have this franchise project available and suggested that she take the lead, so she just took on a nominal role for ZARA.
But with just a slight negligence, a woman appeared, and such an ignorant one at that, how could she not be angered.
When Wen Maixue realized something was wrong and decided to sort out ZARA’s issues, she found that she couldn’t intervene anymore. The model in the new brochures was young, pretty with a hint of seductiveness, not the type Wen Maixue liked, nor was she a well-known face.
"It was the Earl who specifically wanted to use this girl, this girl named Melin, who has been quite popular recently," regarding the female model personally chosen by the Earl, there were some initial reservations internally at ZARA, but after the brochure was launched, it received good reviews from clients, so it was finalized.
"Pello decided on her?" Wen Maixue took another look, feeling uneasy. Since when did Pello start caring about such trivial matters, "bring me that girl’s information."
After obtaining the documents from the PR director, Wen Maixue carefully reviewed them. It wasn’t wise to argue with Pello rashly. It had been a while since Wen Maixue last met with Pello, compared to their previous times at Kelly Women’s College, Pello had become more inscrutable. When they were together, there was even a lack of basic affection. Wen Maixue didn’t know if it was because of the Olson family matter, or maybe... Su Ziceng’s issue had made Pello distant from her.
When with Pello, she had to be cautious about the past, especially matters concerning the Su Family which absolutely must not be brought up.
"Eighteen years old, mixed-race, single-parent, from the United States, signed with a well-known Japanese company. No notable performances before becoming the spokesperson for ZARA, her first stage appearance in Japan made her instantly famous." Just looking at the resume, this female model named Melin didn’t have anything special, Wen Maixue couldn’t find any reason why Pello would sign such an obscure model, knowing Pello is very judicious in his actions and even for operating ZARA, a staggering promotional budget was used, he wouldn’t casually choose someone for such a crucial responsibility.
"Arrange for me to meet Miss Melin," since Wen Maixue couldn’t directly ask Pello, she decided to meet Melin first. As the titular head of ZARA, arranging a meeting with one of its models should be reasonable.
However, this newly signed young model actually made Wen Maixue wait for over an hour. Melin felt somewhat baffled hearing that the general manager of ZARA wanted to meet her, as she always thought Pello was the person in charge of ZARA.
When she met Wen Maixue, she didn’t apologize and just sat down, ordering all the food she liked. Wen Maixue observed Melin’s behavior from the side, finding her completely uncultured and inappropriate in her actions, clearly just a wild and ill-mannered girl, really clueless what Pello saw in her.
"Miss Melin, I’m pleased to meet you," Wen Maixue still politely extended her hand for a handshake. Melin just nodded casually; she hadn’t eaten breakfast and had rushed over, now feeling very hungry.
Wen Maixue’s hand was left hanging in the air, making it quite awkward. "I thought all models would be very careful with their diet to avoid gaining weight." Wen Maixue eyed Melin’s figure, strictly speaking, Melin was heavier than a typical model.
"Luo said I just need to follow my own temperament, and need not care too much about irrelevant people’s opinions," Melin had also carefully observed Wen Maixue upon entering, the so-called executive manager of ZARA seemed somewhat unpleasant to her, appearing very arrogant.
"We’re all just employees, what’s there to be proud of," Melin muttered, and Wen Maixue’s face darkened.
"I’ve arranged with Luo to shoot this year’s winter clothing brochure, thank you for the breakfast," during Melin’s downtrodden times at home, she had endured enough disdain from others, now encountering Wen Maixue’s critical face, backed by Pello’s support, she cared even less about placing Wen Maixue in her eyes.
