Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 259 - 257: President Xue’s Mysterious Girlfriend
Su Jinfeng continued, "In addition to first place, the second and third places also receive rewards. They are 50,000, 30,000, and 10,000 respectively."
Chen Ying’s heart skipped a beat. My god, that’s 200,000 gone right there. Although we made a small profit from the Lin Corporation project, it wasn’t much. It was just enough to cover living expenses, with a little to spare. Besides, our company has just started. Is it really useful to be preoccupied with organizing a competition at this stage?
Chen Ying found that she could no longer understand Xue Yang.
However, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me. Forget it, I’m not going to think about it anymore.
Chen Ying might not have wanted to think about it, but others certainly did.
"Ying Ying, you and Junior Brother Xue..."
"Jinfeng, I don’t want to talk about him," Chen Ying interrupted.
Su Jinfeng tactfully shut her mouth.
Actually, she’d wanted to say that no one has ever seen Xue Yang’s girlfriend. It’s not even certain she exists. Chen Ying might still have a chance to seize the opportunity. After all, Xue Yang was persistent for six years. If she were willing to make an effort, it shouldn’t be too difficult. The Xue Yang of today is so outstanding; very few people in the world can compare to him. If you miss this boat, you won’t get another.
But what Su Jinfeng didn’t know was that it wasn’t a matter of Chen Ying lacking effort. It was like punching cotton—there was nowhere for her force to land.
I have my pride, too. It’s not like no one is pursuing me. Why do I have to keep hanging on to Xue Yang, that crooked-necked tree? Okay, fine. Maybe Xue Yang isn’t a crooked-necked tree. But so what? It still has nothing to do with me. No matter how brilliant he is, he has nothing to do with me anymore.
A wave of bitterness washed over her heart.
...
Xue Yang had barely set foot inside the Trendy Apparel Company building when Cui Hao called.
It seems I need to make it clear next time, Xue Yang thought. I have to tell them to bring up any issues *before* I leave the studio, instead of calling me about this and that after I’m already gone.
"By the way, Boss, you mentioned holding a competition. How should we select the participants?"
Cui Hao was quite reluctant to spend the nearly 200,000 in prize money. They weren’t even earning that much yet.
"First, have them raise their ranks, then we’ll finalize the roster. I’m going to organize two professional teams."
"Organize our own teams to compete?"
"Exactly."
At this stage, if they wanted to monetize traffic quickly, the fastest methods were through in-game top-ups and advertising partnerships. But their game was still in its early stages. Although the number of people making top-ups was considerable, it was far from the effect he desired. As for advertisements, not a single company had approached them to discuss a partnership, which meant they had to take the initiative.
"Alright, I got it."
After hanging up, Xue Yang led Wu Xiaoya to the 30th floor, the headquarters of Trendy Apparel Company.
Fashion Mansion had a total of 33 floors, and Trendy Apparel had purchased the entire 30th floor. The 33rd floor was split, with half belonging to Trendy Apparel and the other half housing the Old Tree Coffee House.
Arriving on the 30th floor, the elevator doors slid open to reveal Trendy Apparel’s sign and posters. The spokesperson featured on the posters was none other than Xue Yang.
I have to say, Xue Yang is much better looking in person than in his photos, Wu Xiaoya thought. The photos, even though they were touched up, seem to be lacking something.
The receptionist was a very pretty young woman who looked like a recent college graduate. The moment she saw Xue Yang, she immediately stood from her seat and called out respectfully, "President Xue."
That title—"President Xue"—truly shocked Wu Xiaoya.
A freshman! Xue Yang is just a freshman, and people are already calling him President Xue!
"Xing Xing, where’s Jennifer?"
"President Xue, Jennifer is setting up the photoshoot on the 33rd floor. It should be just about ready. I can call and let him know you’ve arrived."
"No need, I’ll go up and find him myself later. By the way, this is our new administrative supervisor. Please take her to report to Manager Yang first. Xiao Ya, get to know the logistics supervisor here. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask him. If you’re still confused after that, come find me. I’ve already spoken to Manager Yang about you."
Wu Xiaoya nodded nervously. "Okay, Boss. Xing Xing, hello, my name is Wu Xiaoya. I’m a junior."
"Hello, Xiao Ya. Please follow me."
Xing Xing stood and led Wu Xiaoya into the office.
The Trendy Apparel Company office was on a completely different level from TianMei Studio. If TianMei Studio was a normal office, then Trendy Apparel’s was the epitome of professional, just a bit messy.
When I was in school, I used to visit friends in the fashion department, and it was pretty much the same.
Professionalism was on display everywhere, and most importantly, there were photos of Xue Yang everywhere you looked.
It must be nice to work every day while looking at such a handsome guy! Strange, why do I find his photos more and more appealing the longer I look at them?
Xing Xing led Wu Xiaoya across the entire office area, finally arriving at the logistics department manager’s office.
The moment they entered, the previously quiet office erupted into discussion, as if a duck had been let loose among them.
"Wasn’t that girl with President Xue just now? She couldn’t be his girlfriend, could she?"
"Usually, the only person someone would bring around like that is a girlfriend. Who else could it be?"
One of the female designers analyzed, "I don’t think so. Didn’t President Xue buy matching couple’s outfits with his girlfriend before? They even took a photo and posted it in the comments section. Although you couldn’t see her face, her figure was better than any female model I’ve ever seen. Definitely not like the girl who was just here."
Hearing her analysis, everyone suddenly remembered. "Oh yeah, that seems right. I really want to know what President Xue’s girlfriend looks like. He’s hidden her so well."
"Well, President Xue is our company’s spokesperson and now the executive director. It seems perfectly reasonable for him to keep his girlfriend out of the spotlight."
"..."
After handing Wu Xiaoya over to Xing Xing, Xue Yang went straight to the 33rd floor to find Jennifer. He hadn’t personally taken her to Yang Yunfeng mainly because he wanted to both train her and make it clear to everyone else that while he had brought her in, she was there to work just like them.
Jennifer, who was busy arranging the set, looked up and saw Xue Yang. He hurriedly put down what he was holding and jogged over.
"President Xue, you’ve arrived! Why didn’t you let me know you were coming? I would have come down to get you."
"Is everything ready?"
"Almost. Just give me ten more minutes."
Xue Yang nodded. "I’ll go sit in the café next door."
Today’s Xue Yang was no longer so foolish as to stand out in the cold wind. If he could treat himself better, he certainly would, so he chose to take refuge from the wind in the café.
Xue Yang entered the café and went straight to the private room where he had been with Lin Xi and the others last time. After sitting down, he could see Jennifer and his team bustling about.
For some reason, Xue Yang once again recalled the strange feeling he’d had when he first walked in that day.
