Refuse to Marry Mr.CEO

"Mr. Ruan, when do you think the advertisement will be shot on your end?" Ai Wei felt that regardless of whether there was any potential between them, it was best to settle work-related matters first since it concerned money.

Xia Liyou was rather tight on funds lately, which Ai Wei was aware of, and with her father constantly pressuring them, if they could secure this job, her dad would most likely be the happiest person about it.

Ruan Xiangchen withdrew his gaze, moistened his lips with the cup of drink before him, and responded with a light smile, "The shooting for the advertisement starts next week, so we hope that Ms. Xia can find some time this week to drop by our shop for a clothing fitting. We want to see if Ms. Xia is genuinely a good match for the style of our shop's clothes."

"Of course, that is necessary." Ai Wei chuckled along.

"Well, Ms. Xia, when do you have time to come over? It's also a good opportunity for you to meet our designer because sometimes, what I say as a boss does not necessarily happen, it has to be someone whom they approve of." Ruan Xiangchen explained.

Xia Liyou turned her head and was slightly alarmed by the lingering amusement she spotted in Ruan Xiangchen's eyes.

She slightly furrowed her brows, glanced at Ai Wei, and replied, "You can coordinate with Ai Wei. Whenever you are free, we can come over."

She seemed agreeable, offering no objections.

In truth, Xia Liyou was not interested in meddling with this matter. Since the path had been set for her, it was right for her to follow along.

She no longer had the advantage to arrange her own path.

Ai Wei took out a small notebook and quickly scanned it, "Liyou has a few scenes to shoot tomorrow, probably the day after tomorrow will be the wrap for Director Wang's section. If it's possible, can we come over the day after tomorrow afternoon?"

Ruan Xiangchen maintained his gentlemanly demeanor from start to finish, "Certainly, let's communicate over the phone when the time comes."

Ai Wei nodded rapidly and pulled out her business card from her bag to hand over to him.

After Ruan Xiangchen took her business card, he put it into his pocket and took out his own business card to give to Ai Wei and Xia Liyou.

Xia Liyou hesitated for a while, but eventually took his business card and casually put it into her bag.

Just then, the waiter arrived with the dishes, followed by three more individuals in identical outfits, each carrying platters in their hands.

Dishes were one by one placed on the table. After the waiter bowed, he was about to leave, but accidentally bumped into a woman as he turned around.

The woman yelped, took a step back, and furrowed her eyebrows, yelling, "What do you think you're doing? Are you blind? You stepped on my foot!"

The waiter immediately bent over in apology after hearing her accusation.

However, the woman refused to let it go, "You think an apology can put an end to it? How about I step on your feet once more then?"

The waiter was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with cascading black hair and an exceptional demeanor.

However, she was wearing large-framed glasses, hiding her face. Despite this, from her full forehead, her delicate lips, and her sculpted face, one could surmise she was a beauty.

Only that she seemed to have quite a temper.

Even though the waiter had already apologized, she kept criticizing him ceaselessly.

Ai Wei leaned close to Xia Liyou, whispering, "How could a woman act like this? I feel ashamed for her, even as a fellow woman myself. It's just a minor step on her foot, yet she's overreacting. If it was me, I'd step on her toes so hard she wouldn't be able to speak from the pain. The fact she's still able to make such a fuss means she wasn't stepped on hard enough."

Upon hearing Ai Wei's comment, Xia Liyou chuckled, her eyes carrying a playful reproach, "If you were the one who bumped into her, I bet you two would end up in a fight."

Ruan Xiangchen gazed at the woman, his eyes becoming slightly gloomy. He pressed his lips together and chose to remain silent.

However, when he saw Xia Liyou laughing, he suddenly got an idea, smiling lightly and saying, "I'd bet I can walk up to that woman, say one sentence and she'd immediately back down."

Xia Liyou and Ai Wei simultaneously turned to look at the ever-confident Ruan Xiangchen.

Judging by his self-assured demeanor, it did not seem like he was lying.

"If you have a way, then go ahead." Xia Liyou spoke up.

Who would have thought she'd play along for the sake of a waiter? This woman was truly interesting.

Actually, Ruan Xiangchen was getting rather annoyed at the woman's behavior, she was just as domineering as before.
