The Cage Of The Past - Chapter 46
“What should I do?” Xiaoxi Chen’s hand trembled slightly when she held the phone. Jenny Smith frowned and looked at her, who was pressing her lips. Suddenly his eyes lit up. “Xiaoxi, it’s better to be you!”
“What?” Xiaoxi Chen was shocked. “How, how can I do it? I am only 163 cm tall, and I’m not confident to do it!”
“Xiaoxi! This costume suite your temperament. I will ask someone to bring a small size, please don’t worry about it. This is a winter show and our show is different from previous fashion shows, so don’t worry so much,”
“Sister Smith!” Xiaoxi was nearly crying. “I don’t know how to do the catwalk! I have no experience at all!”
“It’s too late, you just need to go ahead. There is still an hour to go. You are familiar with the whole rehearsal process. No one can be more familiar than you. It is hard to integrate it even if we find someone. Do you understand?” Jenny Smith said it very seriously. “I will teach you the main points, you come with me!”
“But” she hesitates to do it
“Come on, Xiaoxi, we are in charge of this job and can’t afford to screw it up, okay?” Jenny Smith said it seriously: “Believe me, if I were ten years younger, I won’t let you save the show. I have also saved it before, don’t be nervous!”
Jenny Smith pushed Xiaoxi Chen into the fitting room bossily, then she asked the stylist to change her appearance and make a full body spa, make-up, blow a fluffy hairstyle, and even her nails are painted and sparkled.
Xiaoxi Chen was pushed to the cusp of publishing an opinion. The reports and audiences started to arrive at 7:30 pm. The person who is in charge of all the departments of the company accompanied by retailers of all-region came at 7:45 pm.
Rouzhen Gu and Zion Ni finally came ten minutes before the show starts. The air was solidified at this moment when these two stars come out, they immediately attracted a flash of reporters and the noisy crowd suddenly calmed down, no one spoke.
Everyone held their breath because they didn’t know what kind of adjectives used to describe these two men who appeared in front of their eyes. Rouzhen Gu looked cold and emotionless. His handsome face looks like Satan, his long narrow eyelids inadvertently glanced at one point, his deep-set eyes contained inscrutable strange under the night sky, the appearance of this man who created the business mythology suddenly let people gossiping after holding their breath.
The arrival of Rouzhen Gu caused a sensation rather than the safeguards who follow him closely, it’s hard to forget. It will be a feeling of fainting if just looking at his perfect and cold face. The women present at the event were obsessed with his natural charm, all men have succumbed to his cold deterrent.
In short, the audience was a bit slow response as they were shocked by his unique charm. Rouzhen Gu sat down and whispered to secretary Mei: “Where is secretary Chen?”
It’s 7:59 pm now. Time is counting down like launching a rocket.
As soon as the time up, Xiaoxi Chen immediately felt her ears tingling, and her nervous hands are full of sweat. “Sister Jenny, I don’t know what to do when I get up there.”
“You’ll know how to do it when you get up, I’ve arranged several people to help you and you don’t have to go too far, Xiaoxi Chen, fighting, you can do it!” Jenny Smith patted her face. “Look, how beautiful you are, you will make every man crazy! You have to believe that you have this magic.”
Xiaoxi Chen stared blankly at herself in the mirror. Is that her? Can she be so outstanding? However, this is not a dance party where she called allow everyone to freely judge her. She is attending a fashion show and will take a part of being a temporary substitute model, how can she go on stage? “Sister Jenny, I don’t want men to be crazy, I don’t want to do this!”
Oh my god, she almost feels crazy!
“Uh! Xiaoxi, is it you?” Secretary Qi Feng wide open her eyes incredibly after hse saw Xiaoxi Chen dressed up.
“Secretary Feng, there’s not enough model to fill in the spot for the injured model, Xiaoxi Chen can be a good substitute!” Jenny Smith smiled when she saw the appearance of Xiaoxi, she seems to be confident too. Sometimes the beautiful face and temperament are better to do the catwalk.
“It reminds me of the spring conference six years ago!” Now Xiaoxi Chen is very much like you at that time!”
Jenny Smith smiled and her mouth was a bit stiff. “It’s a pity that I am not young anymore!”
“It’s about time to start!” The staff has already reported that in a few minutes the show will begin.
“Secretary Feng, is this okay?” Xiaoxi Chen is not confident.
“Well, why not?” Secretary Feng comforted her. “Xiaoxi, you can do it please show your confidence!
“Well!” Xiaoxi Chen nodded and then stood in front of the mirror with her head down, other models had already started to walk down the runway.
Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath! Xiaoxi Chen thought it in her heart. This is the last time to work here, it is not a big deal. After finishing this show, she can leave without making any mistakes in this project. Originally she doesn’t want to see Rouzhen Gu again, after meeting with Mr. Fox, she can’t face Rouzhen anymore, so it’s better to leave.
When Xiaoxi Chen was the last one to perform and ready to walk out, Jenny Smith grabbed her hand and told her: “Xiaoxi, please don’t think to leave away, just take a deep breath and relax then think about my design, the meaning of my inspiration are full of victory and love. I know you are a clever girl, go ahead, you can do it well!”
Xiaoxi Chen nodded.
“It’s your turn!” Someone shouted.
Xiaoxi Chen was pushed out, and her mind went blank for a moment. But when she is on the stage, she seems to be excited, the character that does not submit to any defeat in her heart has come out, it just a show, right? You may not see it, but you ought to hear about it? Except she was short, she seems to have no shortcomings.
She was more confident afterthought about this! Relax and walk out slowly. Although she was not familiar with catwalk she just learned it temporarily during the rehearsal she had seen, She walked with a smile, Her smile let people revel in.
“Oh my god! Rou Rou, that, that… Isn’t Xiaoxi?” Zion Ni nearly screamed.
Rouzhen Gu was searching for Xiaoxi Chen’s figure, but she unexpectedly appeared on the stage. Rouzhen Gu nodded and swept over everyone with profound vision. At last, he focused on the thin figure that walked on the stage firmly.
“Damn woman, does she want to be famous?” Rouzhen curse silently
“Rou Rou, how did Xiaoxi went up to the show?” Zion Ni shocked reaction while asking him.
At this time Mei come over and said it with lower voice: “Sir CEO, one model from the company who provided us got a problem, the person got injured and we couldn’t find an immediate replacement that’s why Miss Jenny Smith asked Xiaoxi to do the task.”
“It is Jenny Smith’s idea?” Zion Ni knew what why Jenny had jumped into this plan, that woman tried to make the event perfect, but she choice Xiaoxi to take part in the fashion show.
“Secretary Mei!” Rouzhen Gu shouted to her who stand beside him. Mei approach him, raise a smile at her face then asked honorably, “Is there anything I can do for you, Sir?”
“After this show ends, ask secretary Chen to come to me immediately, don’t allow her to accept any media interview!” Rouzhen Gu said carelessly, but still staring at the figure on the stage.
“Yes, Sir!” Mei went backstage again.
Zion Ni looked from the press gallery, almost all of the flashing lights toward the stage.
That time Xiaoxi Chen was dressed with “Chinese red” winter plush short skirt which conveyed not only traditional Chinese culture but also her elegant and sėxy appearance. Her slender legs and sėxy appearance attract attention. Her slender body was even more eye-catching under the flash of light, while the red short skirt was particularly emphasized her great body curved.
For a moment, countless glances and flashes of light focus on Xiaoxi.
She almost dazzled by the light for a while, she had a lot of abundant experiences in life for the past few years, suffering made her character strong. She turned calmly and her petite figure quickly returns to the back after her moment on the stage.
Jenny Smith breathed a sigh of relief.
Rouzhen Gu’s cold face was looking at her as she returns to the backstage. He suddenly felt mad and silently cursing and his thin lips pressed together. “Damn woman, why she’s accepting Jenny’s request, she should be locked up!”
Rouzhen Gu stood up and turned around coldly, he thought of an idea and had more plans in his mind.
“Rouzhen, where are you going?” This fashion show hasn’t finished yet, is he leaving? Zion Ni got an ignored response from him.
Rouzhe Gu strode away, Zion Ni saw him and found that he walks towards the backstage.
After one hour show ended successfully!
The reporters came to backstage to inquire about Xiaoxi, but they weren’t able to interview her because the backstage suddenly has dozens of bodyguards who blocked them.
“Xiaoxi, well done!” Jenny Smith nodded to her thankfully.
Xiaoxi Chen had changed her clothes. “Sister Smith, I’m lucky I didn’t make a mistake and I’ve done it well!”
She thought that there was still a lot of work to be done, and had no time to rest. Of course, she did not take the unexpected show seriously. So she changed her working clothes after she finished the show.
“Xiaoxi, the CEO is looking for you!” said Mei after she finally found her at the backstage, then told his message to her.
Xiaoxi Chen suddenly stiff with uneasy. She did not know how to face Rouzhen Gu, she felt tremble.
“Xiaoxi, hurry up, Sir Rouzhen is waiting for you!” Mei urged her.
“I know!” she nodded. “Where is he?”
“In his car!” Mei answered
“Okay!” Xiaoxi Chen had to go out and went to Rouzhen Gu’s car.
Rouzhen Gu was sitting at the back seat. As soon as Xiaoxi got on, he asked the driver to drive the car away.
“Sir Rouzhen, I haven’t finished my work!” Xiaoxi Chen said it calmly. The more nervous she is, that cause her stutters.
She repeated her words.
Rouzhen Gu looked straight and keep silent, his cold face without a trace of emotion reflects.
Her words were taken as a puff of wind by him and considered her as the air at that moment. Xiaoxi Chen got stunned and can’t believe his bossy attitude. Why did this man asks her to get into his car?
He remains silent, his indifference permeated into her heart bit by bit, she suddenly felt that he was angry, she did not know what would be the reason for his sudden mood swings.
“Stop the car, I want to get off. Stop the car!” Xiaoxi Chen shouted.
Rouzhen Gu finally turned his sight to her face and said, “Who gave you permission to do the modeling in that event?”
“There’s no other choice because the model that supposed to do it got injured and no one is available!” she said.
“You are not a model. You are my secretary, why did you do it without asking my permission and it’s public!” he screamed
“Exactly, I am just your secretary, not your wife, I am worried about the job you’ve given to me that will be ruined and would not run smoothly then you will ask me to compensate you for 3 million dollars. You told me before if the show will not good it will cost you a million dollars loss. Sir CEO, are you satisfied with my reason?” She asked him, her heart trembling because of his facial expression.
He looked at her. Her hair had just been set and haven’t removed yet and her beautiful hairstyle makes her look more attractive. Her large active eyes seemed to hold some emotion, it is a trace of sorrow, as if she was an Angel descending from heaven, so bright.
Suddenly Rouzhen lost his mind when looking at her. He wanted to kiss her right away.
Xiaoxi Chen saw he was so silent and just staring at her full of dėsɨrė. She was extremely uncomfortable with his sudden attention.
“Did you inform me about it? Why did you decide without consulting me? Haven’t you seen, all men looking at you with dėsɨrė! Bullshit! Didn’t I told you not to allow any other man to see your body?” Rouzhen Gu’s tone is so relentlessly.
Xiaoxi Chen was stunned by his sudden reaction.
