A sudden chill inexplicably swept over Xia Qingtian, causing her to shiver.
"What's wrong?" Wen Ning shifted her gaze from the tablet to Xia Qingtian.
"Nothing, maybe the indoor air conditioning isn't set high enough," Xia Qingtian rubbed her arms and said with a dry laugh.
Hearing Xia Qingtian's words, Li Mengxiao immediately contacted the staff to slightly increase the indoor temperature.
"Today is basically the last day for motion capture of the dance," Wen Ning, seeing that Xia Qingtian was fine, continued to brief her on the work. "Next week, I need to send you to Paris to attend a banquet. Give your passport to Xiao Xiao to process the visa."
"Paris?" A look of astonishment first appeared on Xia Qingtian's face, followed by a surprised question as if she had just realized, "Is it Madame Camille's banquet?"
"You know about it?" Wen Ning paused her fingers on the tablet, her gaze towards Xia Qingtian showing a hint of surprise.
"Uh... I've only heard about it," Xia Qingtian had heard of this fashion feast, which had shocked China and foreign countries, in her previous life.
Madame Camille was known for her somewhat eccentric temperament. Although she was the most representative trendsetter in the entire fashion industry, she had always lived a reclusive life.
She owned an extremely luxurious and dreamlike manor, where she hosted a banquet every five years. Many wealthy businessmen, socialites, and fashionistas vied fiercely for an invitation to this event.
Those who caught Madame Camille's eye at this banquet were destined to become darlings of the entire fashion world.
Especially recently, the world-renowned luxury brand K&S officially announced that the position of the new design director would be given to Madame Camille, and that she would also select the next global spokesperson.
This decision undoubtedly added a thick layer of prestige to Madame Camille's banquet this time.
Of course, the world-shattering case that occurred at Madame Camille's banquet years ago also garnered significant attention.
After that incident, Madame Camille directly retired from the industry, announcing that she would no longer step into the fashion world. From then on, the fashion industry lost a talented designer and gained a mystery that remained unsolved.
Even until Xia Qingtian's death in her previous life, no one had managed to unravel it.
Xia Qingtian never imagined that Wen Ning would have the ability to obtain an invitation from Madame Camille.
After all, to gain Madame Camille's favor was not merely about having money and power.
"Don't look at me like that," Wen Ning had no intention of taking credit for herself. "The invitation was given by Mr. Gu."
"Is that so?" Xia Qingtian nodded, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart, not expecting that Mr. Gu had such immense influence not only in the domestic entertainment industry.
After informing her of this, Wen Ning further instructed her on the itinerary and subsequent matters.
Once everything was said, Wen Ning looked at Xia Qingtian and stated, "You have many brands seeking endorsements now, and there are also many invitations. However, they are all for very basic brand positioning, and the endorsement conditions are merely based on your current popularity. Accepting such endorsements would only blur your positioning."
"Now, we need to secure your first endorsement in your entertainment career, which will directly determine your starting point. If you can get the K&S endorsement..." Although Wen Ning said this, she privately felt that Mr. Gu might be asking too much.
Frankly, Xia Qingtian was indeed beautiful, but based on her current fame and status, she was nowhere near the level of a spokesperson for a brand like K&S.
To make Xia Qingtian compete for this opportunity...
Wen Ning truly couldn't understand what Mr. Gu was thinking.
However, this was Mr. Gu's command after all. Wen Ning took a deep breath and said to Xia Qingtian, "Just give it your all and try. It would be great if you get it, but it's okay if you don't. I will select quality brands for you to collaborate with domestically. After all, 'Hua Yue Zui Xi Chun' is about to start filming. Once this drama is shot and released, everything will be much smoother."
Wen Ning didn't want to put too much pressure on Xia Qingtian to complete an impossible task.
"Huh? Sister Ning, aren't you coming with me?" Xia Qingtian heard something else from Wen Ning's words. "Could it be that I'm going alone?"
"Of course not," Wen Ning replied.
"That's good then." Just as Xia Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Wen Ning say nonchalantly, "Mr. Gu will also be going."
"???" Three enormous question marks appeared above Xia Qingtian's head.
Why was Mr. Gu involved again?
In such a faraway foreign land, she, a young girl... wouldn't that be inappropriate...
Although she thought this, Xia Qingtian knew it was work and she couldn't be overly sensitive.
So, Xia Qingtian didn't say anything in front of Wen Ning. After work, she returned home and privately complained to Mobius.
Watching Xia Qingtian's complaints, Mobius's mouth twitched.
He merely wanted to see if bringing Xia Qingtian this time could bring about a new opportunity to completely alter the events that were about to unfold at the banquet.
He had tried to resolve it earlier, but ultimately, it only turned the incident into a complete mystery. Although Madame Camille's life was saved, she still left the industry she loved dearly, causing immeasurable losses to the entire fashion world.
Having personally witnessed the surprises Xia Qingtian brought, Mobius wanted to see if this variable, Xia Qingtian, could resolve that incident more perfectly this time.
Who knew this girl would conjure up such a dramatic scenario in her mind?
Thinking of this, Mobius couldn't help but put down his work and reply, "Don't worry, I'll be there too."
"Really?" Hearing that Mobius would also accompany her to Paris, Xia Qingtian immediately felt relieved. "That's great! I'll be counting on you, my friend~"
Mobius couldn't help but chuckle. After teasing Xia Qingtian a few times, he went back to his work.
Xia Qingtian knew Mobius was a busy man and didn't want to delay him. Instead, she informed Aunt Liu and Xia Qingyu that she was going to Paris for a paid trip of eating, drinking, and having fun, and asked if they needed her to bring anything back.
Aunt Liu was as gentle as ever, only reminding Xia Qingtian to be careful and not get hurt. She also transferred a hundred thousand yuan, reminding Xia Qingtian that it's better to be well-prepared when traveling, and that she must accept it.
Xia Qingtian knew that refusing would only make Aunt Liu worry more, so she accepted the money, thinking that she would bring back more high-end luxury goods for Aunt Liu then.
Xia Qingyu, on the other hand, was practical. She immediately sent Xia Qingtian the weather forecast for Paris for the next half-month, the contact information for the embassy, emergency contact methods for any dangerous situations, and essential escape strategies. She even arranged for a same-city courier to deliver a small medicine box filled with various essential medicines.
This thoughtfulness made Xia Qingtian feel remorseful again for her unreasonable and overbearing behavior in her previous life. Afterward, she couldn't bear to tell Xia Qingyu that Li Mengxiao would prepare all these things. She simply thanked Xia Qingyu for her thoughtfulness, which was met with Xia Qingyu's proud reply.
"You better not get hurt again this time! You are just too clumsy!"
