CHAPTER 556: CHAPTER 554: ATTITUDE

Since making the deal with Wan Chuer at the party, Dan has been waiting patiently for her call, but after two days, there was still no call from her.

"The emperor isn’t worried, but the eunuch is." Dan spat out a few words of complaint and couldn’t resist calling Wan Chuer.

For the past two days, he couldn’t stop thinking about the dress she wore that day. He was pondering over the design and cut. Imagining that there were several other dresses, his heart was like a cat on hot bricks, eager to see if the others were just as stunning. He was also very keen to exchange ideas with the designer.

When the call connected, Dan didn’t hold back and said, "Are you playing with me?"

Wan Chuer was stunned for a moment, but then she remembered the arrangement with Dan. She lightly patted her head; she had forgotten about it. These past two days, while Jiang Kechu was not too busy at work, the two of them were as lovey-dovey as could be, and she had completely forgotten everything else.

Wan Chuer apologetically laughed and said, "I’m sorry, I’ve been a little busy these past two days and completely forgot about it."

Forgot?

Dan found it ridiculously amusing. While he had been eager and anxious, she had forgotten him. Imagine, Dan Joe, whom countless stars and socialites had to make appointments to meet a month in advance, was forgotten by this woman.

Dan felt immensely insulted. With a "bang," he hung up the phone in anger, even forgetting his usual grace as he gulped down his coffee. The assistants in the studio were all anxious, guessing who on earth could have provoked the boss like this.

On the other side, Wan Chuer blinked her eyes and said to Jiang Kechu beside her with a laugh, "Oh dear, I annoyed a coquettish guy, and I need to ask him for something. I won’t be able to keep you company for a while. You go ahead and work."

Jiang Kechu responded with a nonchalant "Hmm?" and asked, "What does that person do? What do you need from him? Do you want me to help?"

The series of three questions clearly showed his concern. Wan Chuer amusingly explained what happened that day, "I just didn’t want to trouble you and Grandpa with this. I’ll find some things to do myself. If I can’t handle it, I’ll come to you."

Hearing that Dan was an androgynous flamboyant fellow, Jiang Kechu chuckled mildly, saying, "Don’t get too close with that kind of person."

"I know, but other than being a bit too glamorous, he’s actually a good person," Wan Chuer couldn’t help laughing.

Jiang Kechu gave her a kiss and after some words of advice, hurriedly left.

Wan Chuer went to the wardrobe and retrieved the dresses she had kept stashed away, then she called Mai Qiqi and asked her to come over.

She had checked Dan’s background and found out that he’s quite successful in brand operations, and his fashion line is well recognized in the fashion industry of country M. Moreover, he’s also popular among the female stars in the domestic entertainment circle. Therefore, Wan Chuer thought about having Mai Qiqi study under him for a while.

When Mai Qiqi arrived and saw Wan Chuer’s clothes rack filled with glamorous dresses, she shrieked in delight, "Ah—so many—Chuchu—I want— I want—, I love this one,—I love this one too— I feel like betraying Chen Ke, I am in love with them—"

Wan Chuer covered her ears, assaulted by Mai Qiqi’s high-pitched voice, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, after they meet the guest, you can choose whichever you want."

"Meet the guest? Who are they going to meet?" Mai Qiqi asked while touching the clothes as if they were priceless treasures.

Wan Chuer explained the whole situation involving Dan Joe, and Mai Qiqi immediately widened her eyes, looking at Wan Chuer, and after a while, she gave her a big thumbs-up.

"You’re awesome!"

"Do you know how legendary Dan Joe is?! Why didn’t you tell me sooner? Had I known, I wouldn’t have gone off for the snacks that day. Chuchu, when you meet Dan Joe later, you must find a way to get him to agree to design a wedding dress for me."

"Do you know how famous Dan’s designed wedding dresses are? Unfortunately, he doesn’t like doing wedding dress designs because it’s too energy-consuming. Over the years, he’s only designed five wedding dresses for others."

"If Jiang Lingling knew we were meeting Dan today, she would surely be green with envy. If she found out we went without inviting her, she might see you as an enemy."

Wan Chuer was dumbfounded, "No way, it’s just an androgynous Dan, why does everyone react like fanatics when they hear his name." Thankfully, her Jiang Kechu is more sensible.

Mai Qiqi shook her head and said, "You don’t understand, but you do have good luck. Let’s go quickly, you don’t want to keep Dan waiting."

Wan Chuer chuckled, first took out her phone to review Dan’s business card photo carefully, and then dialed back.

On the other end, Dan Joe, fuming, waited quite a while for Wan Chuer to call back, and then huffily hung up on her. He’s busy too, alright!

In the studio, the assistants, secretly watching the boss, all speculated and wondered about who the boss was clashing with. The person didn’t call back, and he checked his phone several times a minute. When the call came, he hung up. Could it be that the boss is having a spat with his lover?

It didn’t seem like it. When the boss had lover quarrels before, his tone didn’t sound like this.

"He hung up on me," Wan Chuer said, pointing at the phone and laughing with Mai Qiqi.

"He’s a celebrity, he has his mannerisms and style. You have to accommodate and show sincerity, do a ’three visits to the thatched cottage’, hurry and dial again to show your dedication." Mai Qiqi fully took Dan’s side, urging Wan Chuer to properly appease that VIP.

Wan Chuer snorted, "Might as well go beat White Bone Demon three times." But she still dialed the number again.

Sure enough, after hanging up on her three more times to vent, Dan finally picked up the call as though bestowing a favor.

"What’s the matter?" he asked loftily.

Wan Chuer found it funny how he seemed like a child needing to be soothed.

"Mr. Qiao..."

"Call me Teacher Dan." Dan leisurely interrupted.

Wan Chuer exchanged glances with Mai Qiqi, who nodded, indicating her to go along with it.

"Oh, Teacher Dan, I’m now bringing ten dresses to see you. Are you at your studio?" Wan Chuer asked.

At the mention of ten dresses, Dan’s face lit up, his earlier nonchalance vanished immediately, and he eagerly confirmed, "Are these the dresses you mentioned the other day? All from the same designer?"

"Yes, that’s right," Wan Chuer confirmed.

"I’m here, I’m here. Come on over," Dan said, trying to keep his eagerness out of his voice as he calmly uttered a few words and then hung up the phone.

Dan stood up and looked around his studio, realizing the mess, and moved to his spacious workplace. After taking a look, he ordered the staff to tidy it up, then waited for Wan Chuer to arrive.
