This day's exorbitant expense was not spared by Wanmeng Entertainment in its publicity efforts, immediately securing two trending hashtags.
Yu Linwan, not forgetting to pledge her loyalty to Yu Yinyin, offered sincere advice.
As long as Yu Yinyin agreed, the exclusive attire designed by Madame Camille would become the strongest support for Yu Yinyin's return to the stage; Wanmeng Entertainment could even name the entire series designed by Madame Camille after Yu Yinyin.
Who wouldn't be moved by such an honor?
Yet, Yu Yinyin remained vague, only saying after much deliberation, "Mm, I'll consider it."
Then she hung up Yu Linwan's call.
Yu Linwan was so furious she wanted to smash something.
Recalling Yu Yinyin's timid and unimpressive demeanor, she couldn't comprehend how the Young Master could be attracted to such a woman.
Before Yu Linwan could vent her frustration, Mo Jianing arrived uninvited, beaming with excitement.
Upon entering, she gave Yu Linwan a warm hug, "My dearest sister, I never imagined you were so capable as to invite Madame Camille herself."
Yu Linwan, still seething, wanted to push Mo Jianing away when she was hugged.
However, remembering the Young Master's connection, Yu Linwan could only endure, forcing a somewhat perfunctory smile, "Why are you here?"
"I heard my sister actually invited Madame Camille, so I just came to see the excitement! I've never met such a figure in my life. Just thinking that she will personally design a dress for my stage performance, I can hardly wait!" Mo Jianing's eyes sparkled, and her smile was irrepressible.
"Is that so," Yu Linwan said, "don't you have rehearsal today?"
"Rehearsal can happen anytime, but Madame Camille is not often seen. Besides, I want to interact more with Madame Camille and give her more inspiration." Mo Jianing, thinking of her relationship with Yu Linwan, naturally placed this precious opportunity upon herself.
What Xia Qingtian could get, she could also get.
If Xia Qingtian could become Madame Camille's chosen spokesperson, then she also had the ability to make Madame Camille genuinely treat her well.
After all, Yu Linwan, who had disliked her so much before, had already succumbed to her charm and confided in her.
That Madame Camille, naturally, would be no different.
Yu Linwan secretly laughed at Mo Jianing's shamelessness but showed nothing, only demurring, "This meeting is not ordinary. When the time comes, Madame Camille will naturally be arranged to meet you all. For this time..."
Before Yu Linwan could finish her sentence, Mo Jianing grabbed Yu Linwan's hand and shook it, "My dear sister, I just want to see the world. I definitely won't embarrass you or ruin your plans. You know me, don't you?"
"This... alright." Yu Linwan was somewhat annoyed by Mo Jianing's shaking. Moreover, her invitation to Madame Camille was a tactic, not her true intention, solely to appease Gou Wen.
So, she merely gave a perfunctory agreement.
After all, Mo Jianing was someone the Young Master had specifically instructed to be taken care of, and Gou Wen should give Mo Jianing some face.
If anything went wrong, it would be convenient for her to extricate herself unscathed.
Seeing Yu Linwan agree, Mo Jianing was almost jumping for joy.
For this meeting, she had even found reporters specifically to capture her fervent meeting with Madame Camille, to have the reporters promote it well, and ideally prove that Madame Camille was more enthusiastic about her than about Xia Qingtian.
Finally, she would also receive priceless jewelry, allowing her to enjoy the praise of "Gems bestowed upon beauty."
Xia Qingtian had gained a lot of popularity from this before; she couldn't lose.
Whatever Xia Qingtian had, she wanted, and it could only be better than what Xia Qingtian received!
Madame Camille arrived at Z City Airport at three in the afternoon. Because Madame Camille's assistant had specifically requested that Madame Camille's itinerary not be disclosed, only staff were to pick her up, with a low-profile arrival and simplified service throughout.
Therefore, Yu Linwan did not arrange a grand reception service at the airport, nor did she notify reporters.
She only arranged for a dedicated staff and car to escort Madame Camille and her entourage to the high-class hotel she had booked.
Later, Yu Linwan and Mo Jianing, after meticulously dressing up, personally went at six in the afternoon to invite Madame Camille and her adopted daughter to dinner.
To showcase her personal charm, Mo Jianing not only found a team of reporters but also had her team open the live broadcast.
While still in the car, Mo Jianing, with an apologetic expression, began her performance for the camera: "Tonight, I was supposed to broadcast my rehearsal to you all, but I suddenly received an invitation to dinner. I don't know who invited me yet, so let's go and see together. Shhh..."
Making a shushing gesture and winking playfully, Mo Jianing continued to walk forward.
Seeing Mo Jianing like this, Yu Linwan's lips curled downward where the camera could not see.
Although such behavior was low-class, it was indeed a relatively effective marketing tactic.
At this moment, Mo Jianing's live broadcast room was already buzzing with discussions.
【I just saw someone post about encountering Madame Camille at the airport today, and our Ning Bao is invited to dinner by someone! Do you think it could be Madame Camille?】
【Do we even need to guess! It must be! Didn't you see Manager Yu is also here!】
【Our Ning Bao is truly Wanmeng Entertainment's beloved daughter! Even Madame Camille is inviting her to dine with her! Is the championship already decided!】
【The upstairs one, don't speak if you can't speak properly. Our Ning Bao has the strength for the championship, who needs it to be decided!】
【Exactly! Ning Bao is such a kind, filial, and excellent idol. How could she engage in such under-the-table deals! She's very pure!】
【I heard Madame Camille likes beautiful people the most. Didn't Xia Qingtian also receive Madame Camille's favor before? Now it seems our Ning Bao has also caught Madame Camille's eye. The charm of an Oriental beauty!】
【Well, Mo Jianing is quite good-looking, but compared to Xia Qingtian... isn't it a bit... you know...】
【What kind of eyes do you have upstairs? Xia Qingtian, that sponsored hype queen, that washed-up nobody, how can she compare to our Ning Bao? What works does she have now? Worthy of such praise?】 Mo Jianing's assistant promptly controlled the comments and secretly gave Mo Jianing an OK gesture.
The previous comment that intentionally mentioned Xia Qingtian was also posted by the assistant, all at Mo Jianing's signal.
Mo Jianing wanted to be a step above Xia Qingtian!
Originally, in Mo Jianing's plan, once such disparaging comments emerged, the topic would skyrocket, after all, human nature was what it was.
Taking sides and engaging in fan wars was the norm in fan circles.
