Chapter 12: Remember This Name

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhang Li’s cup of coffee had malicious intent. If Fu Xiaoya hadn’t cleverly dodged it in advance, the scalding coffee could have not only dirtied her clothes but also caused burns on her skin! Even if the burns weren’t severe, Zhang Li would have had a follow-up plan waiting for her. In that case, no matter how outstanding her performance in the interview, she would have been rejected.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoya spoke up, “I understand that Miss Zhang Li didn’t do it on purpose. I accept your apology, and we can negotiate a discounted compensation for the dress. After all, we happen to get to know each other through this encounter.”

What was this? It was called turning a disadvantage into an advantage! Zhang Li, known for her impulsive nature and abundant wealth, felt increasingly frustrated. Instead of successfully bullying Fu Xiaoya, she found herself entangled in a messy situation. And now, Fu Xiaoya had the audacity to insult her and propose a discounted compensation. Who did Fu Xiaoya think she was, looking down upon Zhang Li?

Zhang Li, driven by her temper, shrugged off the security guard’s hand. “Is it all about money? I have plenty! There’s no need for you to offer a discount!”

Qin Huaichen furrowed his brows, showing his displeasure. He spoke up, “Indeed, this dress isn’t expensive; it’s merely 1.9 million. Miss Zhang, will you transfer the amount or write a check?”

Fu Xiaoya looked at Qin Huaichen and was secretly amazed. This Heavenly King Qin dared to demand such an exorbitant amount! Even if the dress cost 300, she would have found it excessive, but he went straight for 1.9 million!

After speaking, Zhang Li regretted her words. But now that she was in this situation, there was no backing down. She could only grit her teeth and say, “I…”

Qin Huaichen interjected, “Miss Zhang Li, you surely don’t intend to default on your payment, do you?”

Once again, Zhang Li fell for the provocation. She pulled out her phone and demanded, “I’m not going back on my word! I’ll transfer the money to you via phone! Give me your contact number!” She was specifically addressed Fu Xiaoya.

With a beep, 1.9 million yuan was transferred. Fu Xiaoya happily put away her phone and said, “Alright, I forgive you.”

Zhang Li gritted her teeth but before she could say anything, Qin Huaichen glanced at her. Instantly, she fell silent and dare not utter another word. She could only vent her anger on the security guard, shouting, “Get lost! I can walk on my own!”

The onlookers cleared a path, the ones who had been laughing and joking with Zhang Li earlier remained silent, their indifference making it seem like they didn’t even know her.

“Qin Huaichen, Manager Yu, thank you,” Fu Xiaoya sincerely expressed her gratitude. She had come for the interview for the sake of the 50,000 yuan prize, but unexpectedly, even before the interview, she had earned over 1 million yuan!

“Take care of yourself next time.” Qin Huaichen’s expression was complex, his gaze a mix of concern. After hesitating for a while, he only said this one sentence.

Fu Xiaoya nodded, once again thanking Qin Huaichen earnestly. Qin Huaichen’s smile gradually faded, and he nodded before preparing to leave.

“Um… Qin Huaichen, could you give me an autograph?” Fu Xiaoya called out to Qin Huaichen. She wanted to use Qin Huaichen’s autograph to bribe her brother, Fu Song, so that he wouldn’t tell their parents about her plan to enter the entertainment industry!

Fu Xiaoya’s audacity left everyone in disbelief. They considered it the height of her luck that Qin Huaichen had come to her rescue. But now, she was shamelessly pushing her luck by asking for Qin Huaichen’s autograph! How shameless! The jealous and envious contestants silently screamed, secretly hoping that Qin Huaichen would turn her down.

But Qin Huaichen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and all traces of displeasure disappeared from his face. He gently asked Fu Xiaoya, “Where should I sign?”

Fu Xiaoya rummaged through her belongings, realizing she had no paper. She smiled apologetically at Qin Huaichen and said, “I’m sorry, Qin Huaichen, just wait a moment.” She walked to the coffee bar and asked the barista for a clean coffee packaging paper. With both hands, she handed the paper to Qin Huaichen and said, “Qin Huaichen, you can sign here.”

Fu Xiaoya’s move made everyone itch with hatred. She actually used a coffee packaging paper to ask Qin Huaichen for his autograph. It was too much!

Qin Huaichen, for the first time, signed on a coffee packaging paper. He thought Fu Xiaoya would ask him to sign on her hand or clothes, but the coffee packaging paper was fine. With a confident stroke, he elegantly signed his name and handed it to Fu Xiaoya, remarking, “Remember this name well.”

The remark seemed unnecessary. Who wouldn’t remember his name? Fu Xiaoya didn’t think much of it and kept Qin Huaichen’s autograph. Her gaze shifted to Zhang Li, who hadn’t gone far yet.

Zhang Li’s hand was injured, and she had temporarily tended to it, causing a delay. She was waiting at the entrance for her driver to pick her up. After a while, she crossed her legs and felt the need to use the restroom.
