The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife
Chapter 249: Shi Yue Master’s Invitation
Chapter 249
After Rong Dai finished discussing all matters with Lu Nianzhi, she brought all the necessary materials back to Washington.
Huo Shao Ting had also been exceptionally busy these past few days. When Rong Dai returned home and took out her phone to see the message she had sent Huo Shao Ting at noon, noticing that he had not replied yet, she turned off the phone screen.
Although she had not asked about the company's situation, it was evidently not very optimistic last year when she video chatted with the old madam.
Plus, during this time when she was working on her creations, it was Huo Shao Ting who had been taking care of her and their little home.
After moving everything into the embroidery room, she did not hurry to get started, but instead went to the supermarket to buy groceries.
Because of the hype around TK Huaxia's first fashion show and the popularity of last year's trending actress due to a TV series, she only wore a scarf when going out, yet no one really noticed her.
On her way back with the groceries, she ran into some unexpected people.
Shi Ning and Shi Yue.
When Shi Ning saw Rong Dai again, her expression was a bit uneasy.
She had always been the star since childhood. Not only was she beautiful, but Jin Xiu Fang also had such a reputation. Rong Dai was the first person who dared argue with her like that.
Moreover, she had not fulfilled her promise to Rong Dai regarding the matter with the Qiao family. Of course she knew everything going on internally at Jin Xiu Fang.
So she was exceptionally nervous that Rong Dai would ask her about the matter she had promised at the Qiaos'.
But Rong Dai's mind had been completely occupied with embroidery these days, and she had temporarily forgotten about the matter with the Qiaos.
"Shi Lao."
When she saw Shi Yue Master, she stopped in her tracks, a faint smile on her face as she nodded lightly and addressed her.
Although there was not much interaction between her and Shi Yue Master, and there were problems at Jin Xiu Fang, Rong Dai still deeply admired this old lady for building Jin Xiu Fang to what it was today.
Shi Yue Master also remembered Rong Dai. A kindly smile appeared on her face as she nodded in response, "Oh it's you. You live here now too?"
Rong Dai politely nodded, "Mm."
She had only intended to say hello in passing after all, since it would be quite difficult not to be recognized walking straight towards each other with her face.
But Shi Yue Master did not seem intent on leaving immediately. Instead, she looked at Rong Dai with a smile and asked, "Your name is Rong Dai, right?"
"Yes, Shi Lao," Rong Dai had no choice but to keep standing there and answer.
Shi Yue Master looked at her approvingly. She sighed lightly, "As expected, the new generation surpasses the old. Your embroidery skills are exquisite. Although I know the chances are low, I still hope you can come to Jin Xiu Fang."
Although her granddaughter was also very outstanding, there were still some areas where she was simply unable to properly train her.
Rong Dai's appearance gave her hope.
She believed her judgement would not be wrong. It was just that Rong Dai was the young mistress of the Huo family. For an ordinary family it would still be possible, but with the Huo family, she was slightly less confident.
Rong Dai was also a little surprised, but she still politely declined with a smile, "Thank you for your high praise, Shi Lao. But I have my own business to attend to, I'm afraid I may be spreading myself too thin, so I will have to miss out on this opportunity."
Her refusal made Shi Yue Master slightly disappointed.
Sitting to the side watching the two converse, Shi Ning's heart clenched tightly!
Although her grandmother had hid things about the company from her, having been at the company for so many years, how could she not have her own connections?
So she knew everything that had happened at the shareholders meeting.
But there was nothing she could do. She was weak and powerless right now. Her grandmother's attitude was also not firm enough.
Compared to whether she could take over Jin Xiu Fang, her grandmother cared more about Jin Xiu Fang's future development prospects. After all, this was the brand she had built up with her own hands.
So when her grandmother suggested she open her own studio under her own name and participate in this TK fashion show, she had agreed.
And for this competition, she had devoted almost all her energy.
As long as she could make a splash, her grandmother would definitely support her.
But what was her grandmother doing now?
She was actually trying to win over Rong Dai! Could it be that she wanted Rong Dai to take her place?
Ever since she was little, she got everything she wanted from her family.
Her grandmother had always doted on her exceptionally as well. But this kind of situation now made her unable to accept it in her heart, and it dealt a huge blow!
Of course, Rong Dai conversing with Shi Yue Master had no idea of her thoughts. Faced with Shi Yue Master's invitation, she naturally would not agree.
She was already busy with her own matters, plus she had Sister Nianzhi who was truly capable.
Even if she was unable to catch up to Jin Xiu Fang in a short amount of time, she was alright with that. She needed to steadily walk to Huo Shao Ting's side step by step.
"Have you seen the news about TK Huaxia's first fashion show? If you want to participate, there are still over ten days left. You could make a small piece. I can submit it with Jin Xiu Fang's entries, but specially mark that it is your work."
"After all, TK is looking for a full series this time. Ten days would not be enough time for you to complete it."
Shi Yue Master made this invitation very generously. Seeing the look in Rong Dai's eyes, she had ambition.
Rong Dai also had not expected her to say this. She was a little surprised.
Then she smiled and shook her head, "I'm afraid I will have to disappoint Shi Lao's generosity, I really have no time."
She had secretly opened a studio and did not publicize it, precisely because she did not want any reports or more people to know for the time being.
After all, the speed at which she had been trending on Weibo last year still made her scared to this day. Once she started trending again, TK might, for the sake of the company's future development in Huaxia, choose her work too.
For the company's interests, TK might do this.
After all, they had done a lot of preparation work for this first Huaxia fashion show, all for the sake of "interests".
What would be the point if the results did not meet expectations?
Moreover, she wanted to win the championship relying on her own ability, not relying on the Huo Group.
Therefore, she did not mention the studio and simply declined Shi Yue Master's invitation.
"Alright then. If you want to come to Jin Xiu Fang in the future, you can come find me."
Shi Yue Master sighed regretfully, feeling it was a pity to miss such a good seedling!
