Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 615 - 248: Song of Triumph
After leaving the Sixth District, Su Ziceng arrived at the old location of "Admiration," where Espr’s first exclusive store was about to complete its renovation. However, there were still no leads concerning the advertising and promotion.
As she reached the corner of the street, she spotted two familiar figures—Sister Mu and Lin Ying, standing in front of "Admiration" and seemingly discussing something. The two, who had once dominated the T stage across different eras, had gotten along much better these days. Their initial disagreements and debates had smoothed over with time. Moreover, lately, it seemed that Sister Mu and Lin Ying were secretly planning something without her, which sometimes made Su Ziceng a bit jealous.
The two women, dressed in black and white and of similar height, stood together, unnoticed by Su Ziceng as she approached.
"We should tell Ziceng about it earlier," pondered Sister Mu. "It’ll be a headache if she’s not prepared when the time comes."
"Let’s not tell her yet; I want to surprise her at the last moment. But... are you really okay with bringing up the past?" Lin Ying had mustered a lot of courage to make this decision, as making her private matters public was not a comfortable thing to do.
"If you don’t mind speaking about your affair with Master Pu Wangda, why should I worry about my old stories?" Sister Mu teased, not wanting to lose to Lin Ying. Lin Ying’s courage when facing love was the key reason Sister Mu accepted her.
"To help Espr expand further and to fulfill Ziceng’s wishes sooner, a little sacrifice is still acceptable." Lin Ying’s gaze fell back on "Admiration," which had completely changed its appearance. If only "Admiration" was still around, she’d have a drink with Sister Mu.
"What are you two talking about?" The doubtful female voice from behind made Sister Mu and Lin Ying turn their heads, and almost in unison, they said: "When did you pop up here?"
"Just now, while you were... proclaiming your friendship," Su Ziceng tried to mock them, but neither her mouth nor her face cooperated. No matter what Sister Mu and Lin Ying were discussing, it was no longer important. She leapt up, her arms straining as she threw them over Sister Mu and Lin Ying’s shoulders. The collision of their shoulders and bodies was somewhat painful, the discomfort piercing right to the heart.
"You’re going to have an interview with VOGUE?" Jim hurried over after receiving the news, waving around the latest issue of the American edition of VOGUE, which indicated that the "Eastern Three Beauties" would be the cover story for the next issue.
Such an ambiguous cover introduction was unprecedented for VOGUE.
"Hey! You sissy director, would you die if you didn’t speak?" Lin Ying grew irritated hearing Jim’s attempt at Z country’s language, containing a flavor of authenticity. Although Su Ziceng had been listening from behind them for a while, she had not discovered Lin Ying and Sister Mu’s intention. Just as they were steering away from the topic, Jim came to stir up trouble.
In contrast to Su Ziceng, who verbally expressed her intent to learn English well, Jim was much more dedicated and enthusiastic about learning the language of Z country. He considered Z country his second home; when not conducting market research, he was learning the Z language from the renovation workers. Thus, in half a year, he had managed to use basic Z language for simple communication.
Su Ziceng’s astonishment at this news was in no way inferior to Jim’s. "VOGUE?" Moreover, the American edition of VOGUE, the bible of the fashion industry.
"We plan to wear Espr’s clothing and join you in the VOGUE interview," Lin Ying looked very pleased with Su Ziceng’s shocked face, as the astonished Su Ziceng was much cuter than the engrossed one. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Dressed in Espr’s attire, not bad, that’s the best advertising," Su Ziceng immediately beamed with joy. After a moment, she realized, "With me? Me!"
Su Ziceng jumped up from the slouchy sofa, straightened her posture, and examined her outfit as if she was about to take part in the interview right away.
"Don’t be such a wimp," Lin Ying was enjoying herself, while Sister Mu said discontentedly: "Haven’t you gone through magazine interviews before? I remember during the Eve Ball, didn’t you have an interview arranged by the organizers?"
"I did, but back then, all the talk was prepared by the organizers, and I said no more than ten sentences, without any photos of me being published. Now it’s the cover, the cover... the cover of VOGUE, my god!" Su Ziceng acted like a clucking old hen, muttering incessantly.
