At the end of June, a large number of rich and famous people poured into S City. There were also some ordinary people from other places. There were even a lot of farmers.
Caesar Academy would waive tuition fees and living expenses for children with excellent grades or special talents. As for those second-generation rich kids with bad grades who wanted to enroll, they had to pay high sponsorship fees. They didn't care about money anyway.
The parents of the free students could also stay in the hotels owned by Xin Enterprises for free. For Xin Enterprises, these children would bring them more returns in the future. Therefore, in Xin Qing's words, this was a long-term investment.
At eight o 'clock in the evening, the performance began on time in the largest auditorium of Caesar Academy. Below the stage sat celebrities from all walks of life. Xin Qing sat together with a foreign man.
"Why are you suddenly here?" Xin Qing was surprised to see Lyle this morning.
Lyle watched the performance with great interest and said, "Are you guys for real this time?"
"Pfft!" Xin Qing laughed. "The Ying clan came looking for you?"
"That Siman Rong woman said that Xin Enterprises would be hers sooner or later. She told me to keep my eyes open." Lyle laughed sarcastically. "I don't care what's going on between you two. I'm very satisfied with the current cooperation. I don't want to change."
Xin Qing glanced at him. "No one asked you to change. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I just saw the news and was worried about you!" Lyle moved closer to her. "Don't forget, I'm always ready to be your backup."
On the stage, it was Asha's turn to perform the cello. Xin Qing focused on the performance and ignored him.
After the students finished their performances, the president of the student council, Xunxun, went on stage to announce the vacation destinations for this year. Then, Zhang Mi distributed scholarships to the outstanding students. In the end, Xin Qing spoke on behalf of the academy. She thanked the government and leaders from all walks of life for their support and help to the academy.
After the party, there was a dance party. Most of the time, it was the students who were lively. The adults took the opportunity to expand their businesses. Xin Qing and Lyle sat in a corner. From afar, they saw Siman Rong walking over.
"Didn't you want to know who Siman Rong is? She's here." Xin Qing smiled at Lyle and watched as Siman Rong stood in front of her.
Out of politeness, Lyle wanted to stand up, but when he saw that Xin Qing didn't move, he didn't move either.
"Xin Qing, you did it on purpose, didn't you?" Siman Rong was full of resentment as soon as she spoke.
Xin Qing blinked. "I've done a lot of things on purpose. I don't know which one you're talking about."
"You..." Rong Siman held the wine glass in her hand and was about to hurl it at Lyle. Lyle reacted quickly and pushed her arm away. As a result, the entire glass of red wine spilled all over Rong Siman's dress. Her dress was a light cream-colored gauze dress. The wine stains were very obvious and disgusting.
"Ah!" Siman Rong screamed. Such a big commotion had attracted the attention of the people around them. Zhang Mi and Childe Shen quickly walked over and stood behind Xin Qing.
Xin Qing stood up unhurriedly. "Xin Enterprises didn't invite you here to cause trouble. Of course, if you want to embarrass Ying Qingcang, I won't stop you. However, please don't disturb my guest. "
"Oh? Is this how you treat your guest, President Xin? " A deep voice sounded. Ying Qingcang walked out of the crowd. Although he was alone, his aura made everyone unconsciously make way for him.
"A Cang!" Siman Rong leaned over. "I just wanted to talk to her and see if she's willing to let us invest in Caesar. After all, you were the one who gave her this before. Who knew that she would not only humiliate me, but also splash wine on me."
The people around them suddenly began to whisper.
"Look, look! President Xin and President Ying are wearing matching outfits! "
"Yeah, I noticed it a long time ago. It looks like they've discussed it beforehand. They really match."
Siman Rong was so angry that she almost broke her nails. She had noticed Xin Qing was wearing a silver evening gown the moment she arrived. Today, when she went out, she realized that Ying Qingcang had chosen a suit color that he never wore. To think that she had specially chosen a light color to match his black suit.
She believed that Ying Qingcang would never know what Xin Qing was wearing, let alone choose the same color as her. Therefore, Xin Qing must have found out something and dressed like this on purpose. Siman Rong wanted to ask Xin Qing about this just now. In the end, she failed to suppress her anger and made a big deal out of it.
Zhang Mi also noticed that their outfits matched so well. She whispered to Xin Qing, "What's going on between you two?"
Xin Qing tilted her head. "How would I know? Did you forget that my gown was made last week? "
Ying Qingcang pretended not to hear the words of the people around him. He only stared at Xin Qing with a calm gaze. "President Xin, don't you want to give me an explanation?"
'I can't lose. This is just the beginning!' Xin Qing cheered herself on inwardly. During this period, she had been trying her best to wake herself up. She told herself that Ying Qingcang was now Xin Enterprises' enemy. Moreover, he was helping another woman to bully her. This kind of abominable behavior was absolutely unforgivable.
Now that she saw Ying Qingcang speaking up for Siman Rong again, Xin Qing's little universe was completely ignited. She smiled faintly and said, "What's there to explain? That you didn't close your door properly and let the dog out to bite people? "
Xin Qing looked at the disheveled Siman Rong, who was glaring at her fiercely. "I have to say that President Ying has a big heart. Your dress is so wet. You've seen everything, and you're still standing here for other men to see. Tsk, tsk! Miss Rong's flesh is really worthless. "
"Hiss …" Zhang Mi and Monica both sucked in a breath of cold air. When did this girl become so aggressive? What a vicious mouth!
A burst of laughter came from around them. Siman Rong realized that the bottom half of her body was almost transparent. She screamed and rushed to the bathroom, covering her face. Ying Qingcang's tone was still indifferent. He said to someone behind him, "Go get her another dress."
Then he fixed his gaze on Xin Qing. An inexplicable ambiguity flashed across his eyes. Xin Qing snorted. 'Look, look! Who's afraid of you!' So she stared back at Ying Qingcang. Ying Qingcang lowered his head. No one saw the corner of his mouth twitch. When he raised his head again, his gaze was still cold. "I'm here to thank you. You gave up voluntarily. At least you know your place."
Xin Qing knew that he was referring to Smith. She retorted bluntly, "Since President Ying cares so much about what Xin Enterprises didn't want, of course I'll help you!"
"Ha!" Ying Qingcang took two steps forward. Xin Qing could touch his chin if she raised her head. Their breaths intertwined. For a moment, Xin Qing thought she saw something in Ying Qingcang's eyes. But it was fleeting, as if it had never existed.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what surprises President Xin has for me. This is how the game should be."
Xin Qing couldn't help but take a step back. This man was too oppressive.
She was about to speak when a childish voice suddenly rang out. "Don't bully my mommy!" A small figure rushed out and bumped into Ying Qingcang. He instinctively reached out to help her up. But then he saw the little girl pour a big bucket of juice all over his suit.
"Good job, Asha!" Zhang Mi secretly made a "V" sign.
Xin Qing pulled Asha into her arms. This was the last thing she wanted to see. She didn't know if it would hurt Asha.
"I don't want you to be my daddy. I already have a new daddy!" Asha's eyes were red. It was obvious that she was holding back her tears. But her hand held Lyle's arm tightly. "That's my new daddy. He won't bully mommy. He'll be good to mommy and Asha."
After that, she looked at Ying Qingcang with tears in her eyes. Perhaps it was just their imagination, but the crowd felt that the temperature around Ying Qingcang had dropped by a few degrees. He glanced at Lyle and then at Xin Qing. Then, he turned and left.
Xunxun and Xiao Rui brushed past him. Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and stared at Ying Qingcang's back for a long time …
The gala had brought a lot of information to the public. Ying Qingcang and Xin Qing had really broken up. They were fighting tooth and nail for the sake of the company. Xin Qing was no pushover either. Her presence was on par with Ying Qingcang's. The winner and loser of this battle had become the talk of the town.
Of course, for the employees of Xin Enterprises, Xin Qing's performance that night had undoubtedly reassured them.
Zhang Yafei thought about it for a few days. Finally, she decided to take the initiative to talk to Xin Qing.
"I know why you're here. Have a seat!"
"President Xin, there's something I'd like to talk to you about." Zhang Yafei clenched her fists. "I know that we're not going to continue with the brand I'm endorsing. I won't be endorsing Ying clan. I hope to stay. I can do other work. I can do public relations, or other small advertisements, or even the company's image. I don't want any endorsement fees. Just treat me like a normal employee. "
Xin Qing kept looking at her. Zhang Yafei hesitated. She wasn't sure if she was doing the right thing by volunteering herself. "I … I …"
"Thank you!" Xin Qing smiled at her. "But I don't need you to do public relations or small advertisements."
Zhang Yafei's face paled. "Normal employees are fine too!" she said anxiously.
"I don't need them," Xin Qing said, shaking her head.
Zhang Yafei was completely dumbfounded. Then, she stood up with trembling hands. "Okay, I understand. Thank you for taking care of me for the past three years, President Xin. Don't worry, I'll never endorse Ying clan."
"Where are you going?" Xin Qing looked at her with amusement. "You still want to continue being my spokesperson!"
"Huh?" Zhang Yafei stared at her in disbelief. "But … but …"
Xin Qing tilted her head. "It's not like that brand is the only brand you can work for. Just focus on the work at hand. Don't worry about anything else!"
Zhang Yafei couldn't accept it all of a sudden, but she soon understood. She nodded happily at Xin Qing. "Okay! I got it. I'll go out first. "
After she left, the door to the inner room opened. Zhang Mi walked out, stretching. "You have good taste. You didn't train her for nothing!" she said.
"I've always had good taste," Xin Qing smiled proudly.
Zhang Mi rolled her eyes at her. "Do you really plan to go by yourself?"
"Yes. There's no use in having more people. It's more convenient for me to go by myself." Xin Qing looked at the desk calendar. "Go home early tonight. The children are going on a summer vacation tomorrow."
