Back then, when Qiao Weiyang was by her side, she had received many more invites from better brands.
“The brands that reached out to me… are indeed just these,” Jiang Lin said in a low voice. “If you don’t like them, I’ll contact other brands.”
How could Qiao Jierou like any of them?
How could these clothes match her current status?!
If she won the Best Actress Award this time, she would be a Best Actress. She would completely leave Qiao Weiyang behind.
How could she wear such cheap things? Wouldn’t she be raising the value of the clothes for nothing? Wouldn’t she be doing charity work by wearing their clothes?
“Jierou, those first-tier brands didn’t invite you because they know that your family is in the fashion industry. Even if they invite you, you might not necessarily agree. They’re afraid of embarrassing themselves.” Jiang Lin comforted her. “They’ll regret it! Why don’t you wear Qiao Group’s new product?”
“How is that possible?” Qiao Jierou said. The only custom-made brand in Qiao Group was Ocean, and it had already been taken away by Qiao Weiyang.
Although there were also high-end brands, they were still far from luxury goods.
Moreover, JR’s new product had yet to be decided. She did not have a suitable choice at all.
She clearly knew that she was about to become a movie queen, but she could not publicize it and let those brands flock to her. Qiao Jierou also had pent-up anger in her heart.
Jiang Lin had no choice but to do her best to help her find a suitable brand.
“Forget it, I’ll ask Brother Heng for help.” Qiao Jierou also wanted to take the opportunity to ease her relationship with Lin Heng. She had been too busy recently and had neglected Lin Heng. She was afraid that something would happen between him and others.

After Celine arrived in S Country, she had a pleasant discussion with Lu Wenhui. She also talked about her cooperation with the Golden Crown Film Awards.
The new season of jewelry that needed to be promoted by celebrities had also been distributed. They were just waiting for the day of the film awards.
“Celine, there’s the best high-end, limited-edition diamond necklace. The film awards can’t decide on a candidate, so they came to ask for your opinion,” the assistant said. “They also know that this is the highlight and want to know your thoughts.”
“Do they have a shortlist?” Celine asked.
“Not for the time being. They said that they’re afraid that young celebrities won’t be able to suppress the aura of this necklace, and they’re also afraid that older celebrities won’t have enough traffic to support this publicity, so…”
It was normal that the other party did not dare to make a decision. Celine knew that this did not only involve the reasons they had mentioned to her assistant, but they were also afraid that the person chosen would not be able to convince the public. It might cause a drawback instead.
“In that case, I’ll choose this candidate myself.”
…
In the private room that Lu Wenhui had booked, she and Celine were chatting happily.
They were both very satisfied with this collaboration.
“Is Qiao really coming over tonight?” Celine asked.
“Yes, she promised me that she would come over.”
As the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door. With their permission, the waiter pushed the door open and invited Qiao Weiyang in.
“Qiao, we were just talking about you.” Laughing, Celine opened her arms and hugged her. “We meet again at last.”
Everyone sat down after exchanging pleasantries. Lu Wenhui took out a cigarette but put it back under Qiao Weiyang’s gaze.
Celine also wanted to smoke. Seeing this, she smiled and said, “I won’t dare to smoke anymore.”
“Celine, Aunt Hui is not in good health. The doctor said long ago that she had to stop smoking,” Qiao Weiyang explained.
Celine held up her hands. “I understand. Smoking is bad for your health.”
The atmosphere quickly relaxed. After chatting for a while, Celine pushed a brocade box in front of Qiao Weiyang. “I’ll have to rely on you for this promotion.”
Qiao Weiyang had already received an invitation from the organizers, but they had given her a mid-range necklace. Obviously, the organizers did not think highly of her. They only treated her as a very popular artiste and did not directly consider her in the list of award winners.
It was the same for the other female celebrities. Only Qiao Jierou’s necklace used the best diamonds.
The organizers had kept this matter a secret, so outsiders didn’t know about this difference. However, Qiao Weiyang was in the jewelry industry and knew Celine. How could she not see the clues?
Now, Celine was passing her jewelry. What did that mean?
Celine explained briefly, “I like this jewelry very much, so I don’t want anyone to wear it casually. Do you understand what I mean?”
Qiao Weiyang reached out to open the brocade box, and the dazzling diamond light shone out from the box.
Just as Qiao Weiyang had expected, it was a very expensive necklace.
To her surprise, this was not for sale by CL.
She looked at Celine. “Celine, do you know what this means?”
It meant that Qiao Weiyang would be the person with the best jewelry at the event location. It also meant that she had taken on the most important publicity mission this time. In the future, when CL was mentioned, it would be linked to Qiao Weiyang’s name.
It also meant that Celine and CL trusted her the most.
“Qiao, don’t you understand our nature as businessmen? Earning money and getting publicity are our first priority. We’ve already done a background check on you and gotten your artiste data. You and I are friends, but we’re not just friends, okay?”
Celine said it so bluntly that Qiao Weiyang understood what she meant. This was a win-win cooperation. Celine was not just supporting her because they were friends.
“Celine, don’t worry. I’ll appear at the event location in my best condition, even if I might not be able to win the award.”
“I have no reasons to worry about that.”
…
On Huang Shitao’s side, almost all the awards had been confirmed.
He was in the office dealing with some matters when his assistant hurriedly knocked on the door and walked in.
“Mr. Huang, it’s bad. Something happened outside… They’re arguing. It’s very loud. Please go over and take a look.”
“What is it?” Huang Shitao asked.
“A few small sponsors of ours that were on good terms with us suddenly barged over. They want to increase the terms. I don’t know why, but some staff members have promised them something. But we haven’t discussed it, and the situation can’t be controlled.”
Huang Shitao walked over quickly.
A slightly chubby man said, “I’m sponsoring your food, no? What’s wrong with doing some publicity for my small movie?”
“But this movie really doesn’t suit the style of our film awards. I’m really sorry,” a staff member was explaining.
“What do you mean my movie isn’t suitable? Aren’t you just taking money in exchange for these kinds of things? I’ve sponsored so much money, so why can’t you do this for me? Do you want me to add more money? How much? If I add another sum, can my actors also go on stage?”
