Chapter 235 Beg Us
Liu Ran and Zheng Yanqiu’s faces changed upon hearing Su Ya’s words.
They hadn’t expected something like this to happen at such a critical juncture.
The opponent was truly malicious, but the accident had already occurred, and there was no immediate solution.
Just then, a burst of laughter and discussion carried over. Yang Long, Liu Xuhui, and Madam Liu Xin, among others, walked over, chatting and laughing.
Liu Xuhui then pretended to be innocent and greeted Liu Ran.
Liu Xuhui said, "Oh! Cousin, is it your garment factory's turn to perform next? Are you all ready?"
Liu Ran frowned at Liu Xuhui's words and didn't reply.
Liu Xuhui laughed heartily, "Liu Ran, don't hold so much animosity towards me!"
"Look, our company performed quite well earlier, and the audience said that our New Trend company is very likely to win first place this time."
"We are all from the Liu family, and mutual assistance is only right. Your garment factory's fashion show is about to begin, so you must cheer up! Hahaha!"
Liu Xuhui burst into laughter, and the group of people stood by the entrance of Dressing Room 18, feigning composure.
At this moment, Yang Long paused and asked, "Huh? Where are your models from the Yang Yang Yang Garment Company? They're about to go on stage, why aren't any of the models here?"
Liu Xuhui also pretended to be surprised and said, "No way? They wouldn't still be in the restroom, would they? Oh dear! This group of people is really dawdling! Oh, cousin, if you need anything, just tell me!"
Liu Ran snorted coldly.
Zheng Yanqiu, standing beside Liu Ran, heard Liu Xuhui’s words and quickly stepped forward, saying, "You... you are Manager Liu's family, right? Could you possibly lend us some models?"
Zheng Yanqiu was not entirely clear about the relationship between Liu Xuhui and Liu Ran. She now felt that since they were relatives, they would surely extend a helping hand in this crisis.
Liu Xuhui slapped his thigh upon hearing this, "Ah? Lend models? What's wrong? Don't tell me you don't even have models."
Liu Xin, standing beside him, couldn't help but burst into laughter, "What? You're going on stage in two minutes to showcase your clothing, and you don't even have models yet?! And you want to borrow from my brother? Hahaha, that's hilarious, are you here to make a joke?"
Yang Long, standing nearby, said, "Ah, I must say, you people are truly clueless. How about this, wait a moment, and I'll call our company's models over. To help you out of this emergency."
Liu Ran gritted her teeth, looking at the smug smiles of Yang Long and the Liu family members opposite her, her anger rising.
However, she dared not refuse outright at this point.
Because at this juncture, borrowing models was imperative. Without models, lighting, or sound engineers, the Hanfu display would be impossible.
Liu Xuhui looked at Liu Ran, a smug smile on his face, "Oh! Cousin Liu Ran, are you going to borrow them or not?"
"Say something! We're all family. As long as you ask, we'll definitely help."
Liu Xin said smugly, "Yes, Liu Ran. Although you've wronged us many times before, we won't hold it against you."
"If you need help, just say a kind word and beg us a little, and considering we are all from the Liu family, we will definitely help you, hahahaha!"
Liu Xin burst into laughter.
Liu Ran gritted her teeth. At this moment, although she was furious and had a vague suspicion that the sudden disappearance of her company's models might be related to Liu Xuhui and his group, she had no proof. Moreover, at this critical juncture, even a sliver of hope compelled her to endure.
Liu Ran suppressed her anger and was about to speak.
At this moment, Zheng Yanqiu, standing beside her, stepped forward abruptly and bowed repeatedly and rapidly towards Liu Xuhui.
Zheng Yanqiu said loudly, "Please, please, can you lend us models first? It's a real emergency. Please, help us now, and we will be eternally grateful and do our utmost to repay you later."
Zheng Yanqiu no longer cared about her pride. For her, this was the only chance for their Qianyi Garment Factory to turn things around. If they missed this opportunity, Qianyi Garment Factory would face bankruptcy.
Once the garment factory went bankrupt, their family would be scattered.
Zheng Yanqiu continued to plead.
At this, Liu Xin impatiently shoved Zheng Yanqiu’s shoulder, directly knocking her to the ground.
Liu Xin said impatiently, "Who are you, you old hag? We're talking to Liu Ran, what business is it of yours?"
"You're begging us? What good is it if you beg us? What relationship do we have with you?"
"What we want now is Liu Ran's attitude, for her to beg us. What does it have to do with you?"
Zheng Yanqiu sat on the ground, her brows furrowed as she looked at Liu Xin, Madam Liu, Yang Long, and the others opposite her.
Madam Liu, holding her dragon-headed walking stick, chuckled, "What? Liu Ran, what are you hesitating for? If you delay any longer, Liu Xin and Yang Long might not be able to help you anymore."
Just then, a cold laugh sounded from behind, and Chen Yang walked in, saying, "All irrelevant people, get out. Dressing Room 18 does not welcome a bunch of thieves, plagiarists, despicable, and shameless individuals like you. Get out."
Chen Yang said, and with a "bang," he directly slammed shut the door of Dressing Room 18.
Liu Ran and Su Ya, seeing Chen Yang's sudden arrival, both sighed in unison.
Liu Ran bit her lip and said, "Chen Yang, we're really in trouble this time. The models and sound engineer have all run off. Just now, Grandma and the others were standing outside. I suspect they might be behind this."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "What do you mean 'might be'? Besides these trash, who else could come up with such a despicable method?"
"Hey, you trash outside, if you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
Outside, Madam Liu, Liu Xin, and Yang Long’s faces turned ashen.
Liu Xin angrily pointed at the dressing room door and shouted, "Chen Yang, you good-for-nothing, you wait! Without evidence, do you think calling the police will scare us!"
"Heh, now it’s you who are refusing a good offer. As long as you humble yourselves and kneel down to beg us, we'll lend you our model team very soon."
"But you've chosen to be ungracious, so don't blame us for not helping. Let's go!"
Liu Xin pulled Yang Long and Liu Xuhui and turned to leave.
Yang Long and Liu Xuhui both laughed heartily.
They were extremely pleased with themselves, especially Yang Long, who hadn't expected such a twist of fate for Liu Ran's "Yang Yang Yang" Qianyi Garment Factory.
As Yang Long walked, he gave Liu Xuhui a thumbs-up and said, "Brother-in-law, you've impressed me this time, hahaha."
"Once this competition ends, and both our factories secure top three places, I will definitely ask my father to grant you a super huge red envelope reward."
