Chapter 64 - Wails of tortured stylists

"How do I look?" Li Zhiqiang asked the same question the thousandth time.
"You look very handsome. Perfect Brother. Your mere style can steal the hearts of countless women. You look more handsome than a Korean idol." Li Xun's eyes were groggy. His voice was raspy and less cheerful than he intended it to come out. God, he felt so sleepy. But there was no way he could retire before nine am.
"At least I'm not the only one suffering in this Hell." He mumbled and glanced at the Hong Kong ten best stylist standing in a line looking like they were about to cry. They were continuously wiping their sweat trying to please the impossible man.
"This is not it..." Li Zhiqiang threw away his coat.
All the stylists' faces looked like they were in great pain. But they could not even complain.
Another hour passed by as they did their best to dress up President Li. After trying more than a dozen outfits, Li Zhiqiang finally looked like he felt satisfied.
"Marvelous Brother! You look marvelous! I know women better and I can say with a guaranty that any woman who sees you will fall on her knees kissing your feet..." Li Xun wanted to butter up his brother so that he wouldn't change his mind. The stylists secretly praised Li Xun in his heart. The young had such a kind heart. Saving them in their despair.
But to Li Xun terror, his brother gave him a cold glare.
"Jing Lihua is not just any woman"
Li Xun felt cold. "Of course! Of course! Jing Lihua is the most wonderful woman in the whole China to be able to gather your interest!" He must be careful of his words from now on. Li Xun shuddered. Ah... so scary!
After a silence, Li Zhiqiang said. "In the whole world"
"Huh...? Why not! Why not! Sister-in-law is the most wonderful woman in the whole world!" He purposely called her sister-in-law and saw his brother's mood improve a bit. Seeing the opportunity, he asked. "So can I leave now?"
"No."
"Why not."
"Since you seem to know what women better than me, I want you to arrange a restaurant for dinner."
...
When jing Lihua suddenly entered the room, they both were momentarily stunned to silence.
"How long have you been outside?"
"I just came. Why you ask?" Jing Lihua frowned and then raised her eyebrow. "Have you two been plotting something against me?"
"N-No. What could we possibly plot?" Zhao Liying gave an awkward laugh.
Mo Liang sighed. "She knows what we talked about." Being perceptive, he easily read Jing Lihua's fake expressions. "Jing Lihua since you know already, we'll ask directly. Have you been seeing someone?"
"If you have, please make sure to keep it secret from media and especially that Su jerk. I don't want them an excuse to bully you."
Jing Lihua smiled at her friends and joked. "Are you two not worried at all that your friend is cheating on his husband?" Such wonderful friends she had.
"It is true then!" Mo Liang sounded shocked. Jing Lihua thought he was just being dramatic.
"See? I told you!"
"I didn't say I was seeing someone. besides I'm not here for that." Jing Lihua walked to the couches. "Earlier that day I heard Su Lanfen saying that the perfume brand spokesmanship would go to her with certainty. She even said that President Li showed interest in her... Is that true?" Jing Lihua wanted t strike a deal with that President Li. Before that, she wanted to gather as much information about him as she could.
If he actually admired Su Lanfen then she would have a second thought about selling the real estate to him.
"Did she tell you that?" Zhao Liying laughed. "Oh my God! How could someone be so delusional? Right... I saw that famous President Li talking to her once she pestered him for some time. But there was anything but an interest in his eyes. I see it now. That President Li is relatively a cold person with mostly an expressionless face. So his emotions are hard to read. So Su Lanfen must have misunderstood him."
"So what was really his expression?"
"I can tell you with certainty that he didn't even bother to look at her. Only once he heard her name, he looked up. But there was nothing like admiration in his eyes. I was close by so I saw it clearly. It felt more like a killing intent. Even from a distance, I felt the chill. He asked a couple of questions and she continued to ramble. If I was her, I would have already left the place after seeing that look in his eyes. To be given such a terrifying look from such a scary person... I would rather stay away from him rather than trying to flatter him."
When Jing Lihua listened to that, for some reason, she felt happy. She couldn't explain her happiness.
"Why did you ask Jing Lihua?" Mo Liang asked.
"I was just worried that Su Lanfen might get a step ahead of Zhao Liying if she won the spokesmanship. But according to your explanation, it seems most unlikely. So there is nothing to worry about."
Later despite Zhao Liying relentless persuasion, Jing Lihua didn't reveal the identity of the man who was in her room last night. In the end, Zhao Liying even used all the threats that came to her mind but to no avail. She could only give up with a puff.
After returning to her room, Jing Lihua took a quick bath. Her eyes wandered to the clock. It was eight am. With a smile, she called Mei Xiu.
"Have you brought everything I asked you for?"
"Yes, President. Everything's ready. I'm on my way to personally deliver it."
"And the car...?"
"In the garage."
"Good." Jing Lihua smiled and hung up. After ten minutes, Mei Xiu arrived with different boxes. Jing Lihua had just gotten out after taking a bath. Jing Lihua opened the box and took out a very expensive dress.
Jing Lihua's eyes sparkled with glee as she readied herself. Tonight, she was going to look prettiest and act wealthy to make him inferior.
Or so... she supposed.
