Chapter 372 The World's Most Beautiful Model Appears!
That evening, at the Long Island estate in New York, USA.
The living room is very large and the lights are very bright.
After taking a shower, Li Mengli changed into a very comfortable set of casual clothes. She sat on the very large genuine leather sofa.
Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian sat next to her. Zhao Jiajia was holding a tablet computer.
Zhao Jiajia was extremely excited. She shouted to Li Mengli, "Mengli, look! You're really famous now! The whole world is talking about you!"
Li Mengli leaned closer to look at the tablet's screen.
The screen was filled with news about her. Whether it was American news websites or Chinese news websites, the headlines were all videos and photos of her walking the runway today.
The news headline was written very large.
"An Eastern girl has shocked the world!"
"The world's most beautiful model has appeared!"
Li Mengli was completely stunned when she saw the news. Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, and she couldn't utter a single word.
She never imagined she would become so famous. She used to be just an ordinary college student. Now, so many people know her.
Huo Qian scrolled through the screen beside her. Pointing to the comments below, she said, "Mengli, look at these comments from netizens. Everyone is praising you."
There are many comments on the screen.
"This girl is so beautiful! Her makeup is so clean, and her hair is so natural. This is true beauty."
"I want to know who her makeup artist is. I want to have makeup like that too."
"That white dress she wore was so beautiful, I want to buy one exactly the same."
It's not just a topic of discussion online. Many girls from abroad and China have already started imitating Li Mengli's style in real life.
People imitated Li Mengli's hairstyle and her very light makeup. They even dug out and copied some of her old clothes. Everyone thought this simple style was very beautiful.
Li Mengli was deeply moved as she watched all this unfold. Her hands were trembling slightly.
She really succeeded. She didn't let her father down.
Looking at Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian, Li Mengli said happily, "I really did it. Everyone liked my performance."
Huo Qian nodded and said very seriously, "Yes, Mengli. You were very successful. However, Pierre deserves a lot of credit for your stunning appearance this time. The look he designed for you perfectly showcased your strengths."
Li Mengli wholeheartedly agreed with Huo Qian's words.
She knew that if Pierre hadn't taken such good care of her hair and makeup, she wouldn't have looked so good on stage, and the effect wouldn't have been so great.
For the past two weeks, Pierre has been taking care of her every day, which has been very tiring for him.
Li Mengli felt that she had to properly thank Pierre.
She thought for a moment, then said to Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian, "You're right. Pierre has put in a lot of effort. I've decided to treat him to dinner at the manor tonight. I want to thank him properly in person."
Zhao Jiajia smiled and said, "Sure. The chef at the manor cooks very well. It's only right to treat him to a big meal."
Li Mengli took out her phone. She found Pierre's number and dialed it.
The call was answered quickly. Pierre sounded very happy.
"Good evening, Miss Li. Congratulations on your great success today," Pierre said loudly in English.
The translator loudly translated it from the side.
Li Mengli said very politely, "Pierre, thank you. My success today is all thanks to you. Your styling design is perfect."
"To thank you for your hard work these past two weeks, I'd like to invite you to dinner at the manor tonight. Do you have time to come?"
When Pierre heard Li Mengli invite him to the manor for dinner, he was so happy that he jumped up from his chair.
He knew perfectly well that this meant Li Mengli highly approved of him. This was also a good opportunity for him to continue pursuing Li Mengli.
Pierre replied very loudly, "Beautiful Miss Li, of course I have time. It would be my greatest honor to have dinner with you. I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mengli asked the manor's butler to inform the kitchen. She instructed the chef to prepare a very lavish meal.
Pierre immediately began to dress himself in his hotel room.
He took a shower and changed into a very expensive black suit. He also sprayed on a very nice-smelling cologne. He wanted to look his best when he met Li Mengli.
at the same time.
Lu Wenzhou was also in his room.
He was holding a work document in his hand, but his mind was completely elsewhere.
Li Mengli stole the show at the fashion show today. Lu Wenzhou was overjoyed. He felt he had excellent taste.
However, he had just received a report from his subordinates.
His subordinate told him that Li Mengli had called Pierre specifically to invite him to dinner at the manor and to thank him separately.
Upon hearing this news, Lu Wenzhou immediately threw the documents in his hand onto the table.
His expression changed instantly. His brows furrowed tightly.
Lu Wenzhou felt extremely uncomfortable.
He thought to himself, "I went through so much trouble to get this runway spot. I've been going to the manor every day for the past two weeks to take care of her. I've done so much."
"Now that the fashion show is a success, the first person she thanks is actually the French hairdresser. She even wants to invite him to dinner at her estate."
The more Lu Wenzhou thought about it, the more suffocated he felt.
He felt that Pierre had completely stolen his thunder. He absolutely couldn't let Pierre shine alone in front of Li Mengli.
Lu Wenzhou stood up from his chair. He walked around the room twice.
He picked up his phone and dialed the manor's butler.
The butler answered the phone and said very respectfully, "Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?"
Lu Wenzhou asked in a very calm voice, "Is Miss Li hosting a banquet at the manor tonight?"
The butler answered truthfully, "Yes, Mr. Lu. Miss Li wants to thank Mr. Pierre, so she had the kitchen prepare dinner."
Lu Wenzhou said directly, "Okay. I'll go have dinner too. Tell the kitchen to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks."
The butler dared not refuse Lu Wenzhou. He immediately agreed, "Yes, Mr. Lu. I'll arrange it right away."
Lu Wenzhou hung up the phone. He walked to the mirror and straightened his tie.
He told himself, "I will absolutely not let you, a Frenchman, succeed. I, Lu Wenzhou, will never lose this competition."
One hour later.
Pierre arrived at Long Island Estate by car.
He was carrying a large, beautiful bouquet of white roses. He strode into the living room.
Li Mengli saw Pierre walk in. She stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Pierre, you've arrived. Please have a seat," Li Mengli said politely.
Pierre handed the flowers to Li Mengli. He said with great affection, "Miss Li, these flowers are for you. Congratulations on your success today."
Li Mengli accepted the flowers and said thank you.
The two of them had just sat down on the sofa.
The living room door was pushed open again.
Lu Wenzhou strode in from outside.
He was dressed very formally today. His expression was very confident.
Lu Wenzhou walked directly up to Li Mengli. Looking at her, he said very naturally, "Mengli, I heard you're hosting dinner tonight. I thought it would be more lively with everyone celebrating together, so I came by myself. You don't mind, do you?"
Li Mengli was startled when Lu Wenzhou suddenly appeared. But she quickly recovered.
She now knew that both men were pursuing her. She knew perfectly well why they were doing this.
Li Mengli smiled generously and said, "Of course I don't mind. I'm very happy you could come. I'm also very grateful to you for being able to walk the runway this time. Let's all have dinner together."
Pierre, sitting nearby, saw Lu Wenzhou arrive uninvited. His face immediately fell.
He cursed inwardly, "That Lu Wenzhou is so annoying. I finally had a chance to have dinner alone with Miss Li, and he came to ruin it."
Pierre looked at Lu Wenzhou and said in English, quite rudely, "Mr. Lu, tonight is a dinner party specially prepared by Miss Li to thank me. It's very impolite of you to come here so suddenly."
Translator, please translate this sentence quickly.
Lu Wenzhou glanced at Pierre. He wasn't angry at all.
Lu Wenzhou smiled magnanimously. He replied, "Mr. Pierre, you're just a stylist. Mengli was able to go on stage because of my arrangements. We should be grateful, and everyone should be grateful together. It would be disrespectful for you to hog the credit."
The two sat on the sofa, staring at each other. Their eyes were filled with resentment.
Li Mengli sat in the middle, looking at the two men.
She wasn't nervous at all. She sat there comfortably. She felt perfectly fine. She wanted to see who was more sincere.
At that moment, the butler came over and announced loudly, "Miss Li, dinner is ready. Please proceed to the dining room."
Li Mengli stood up and said to the two of them, "Alright, let's go eat. Everyone has worked very hard today, so be sure to eat well."
Lu Wenzhou and Pierre stood up at the same time. They glanced at each other, then followed Li Mengli into the restaurant.
The restaurant was very large. The long tables were piled high with all sorts of delicious food.
Everyone sat down and began to eat.
The competition at the dinner table was fierce.
Pierre picked up the communal spoon and ladled a bowl of hot soup for Li Mengli. He said loudly, "Miss Li, have some hot soup. You must be very tired from walking the runway today; this soup is good for your health."
Lu Wenzhou immediately picked up his chopsticks and placed a very tender piece of fish on Li Mengli's plate. He said in a steady voice, "Mengli, have some fish. This fish has no bones and tastes very good."
Pierre took another tissue and placed it next to Li Mengli.
Lu Wenzhou immediately poured a glass of warm water and placed it next to Li Mengli's glass.
The two of them took turns trying to impress Li Mengli.
Zhao Jiajia and Huo Qian sat opposite each other. They ate their meal while watching the lively scene unfold.
Zhao Jiajia whispered to Huo Qian, "Huo Qian, look at those two. They're hilarious. They won't even rest for a second to curry favor with Meng Li."
Huo Qian smiled and nodded. She replied, "That's just men's competition. None of them want to lose to the other. Meng Li is handling it very well; she's very calm."
Li Mengli was indeed very calm.
She sat there, accepting the soup they brought her and eating the food they offered. She thanked them very politely.
She knew perfectly well that both of them were trying their best to impress others. She wanted to gradually see through their personalities and character through their interactions.
