Chapter 454 - 446 Transformation (Part 9)
Over a cup of tea, the conversation opened up, and Wang Zhuoling chatted eagerly with the other party, skillfully yet profoundly.
Ji Anning occasionally chimed in from the side, and when the other party looked her way, she gave only a generous smile.
Wang Zhuoling said, "In the face of anyone, on any occasion, remember eight characters, keep the standard high, maintain politeness."
Her understanding was to speak less, smile more.
Throughout the meal, Wang Zhuoling subtly praised Ji Anning extensively.
With Ji Anning’s own strong foundation, the two brand managers were very satisfied with her.
"Let’s sign the contract as soon as possible in the next few days, next month in Hai City we will do a trial fitting and try-on. If there are no accidents, we will go to Europe for shooting at the beginning of May."
"OK, no problem."
As the dinner was drawing to an end, everything went smoothly, and hearing the words about signing the contract as soon as possible in the next few days, Ji Anning felt very excited and apprehensive.
Because this was her debut work, what the future held, and what obstacles she might encounter, were uncertain.
A myriad of emotions overwhelmed her.
"Miss Ji, I wish us a pleasant cooperation," said the other party suddenly, raising his glass to Ji Anning.
Ji Anning looked over and smiled charmingly, elegantly lifted the water glass in front of her and symbolically touched it on the rotating tray on the table, producing a light clink.
"Pleasant cooperation."
The other party stared at the water glass in her hand, showing a look of dissatisfaction, "Now that we are cooperating, let’s have a drink."
"Manager Yang, it’s not that I don’t want to drink," Ji Anning responded coolly to the other party, "but I’m allergic to alcohol. If I drink, my face breaks out in rashes, and then the work I have noted would all be delayed."
She was capable of drinking a few glasses, but now that she was pregnant, she definitely couldn’t touch it.
She would have to try on and fit next month, and a face full of rashes would definitely impede the work, to which the other immediately laughed and said, "Then you shouldn’t drink. I’ll drink, and Miss Ji can substitute tea for liquor."
"I’ll drink an extra two glasses to show my apologies," Ji Anning said with a generous smile, and then drank two glasses of water in succession.
No dithering or dragging.
It was just drinking two more glasses of water, but her statement of drinking an extra glass in apology made people feel psychologically respected by her.
The other party made no secret of their admiration for her, praising her endlessly, "It’s rare nowadays to see young people like Miss Ji who are not only smart and beautiful but also highly cultivated."
Ji Anning nodded slightly, "Too kind."
A simple three-word response, neither arrogant nor using self-depreciation to falsely modest.
Again, she won the other party’s favor.
From initially being a bit disdainful of Ji Anning because she was a newcomer with no fame, to later holding Wang Zhuoling’s hand, wishing they could sign the contract immediately.
Ji Anning knew that the majority of the credit went to Wang Zhuoling.
Her tactics were really deep. No wonder Sister Hong said that following Wang Zhuoling for two months was better than her social experiences for three to five years.
Now, recalling the way Wang Zhuoling bragged in front of those two brand managers, she still wanted to laugh.
"Little girl, what are you laughing at?" Wang Zhuoling suddenly turned around.
Ji Anning felt like a thief caught in the act, but she wasn’t afraid and honestly replied, "Laughing at how deep your tactics are, admiring that the older ginger is still spicier."
Of course, she said it in a joking tone.
"Ha..." Wang Zhuoling brushed off the comment Ji Anning had made about her, and immediately shifted the topic, "Didn’t you have enough to eat just now?"
