After hanging up the phone, I looked back at Tao Juan who was still taking photos and smiled slightly.

It should have been a win-win situation, why did he have to turn it down? Even if he refused, wouldn't he do it properly? He had to say it with a superior attitude.

I knew, of course, that everyone had their place, but there was no need for the truth to be revealed by someone else.

Since you believe in the victor as the king, then when you are stepped on by others one day, you have to remember this saying as well.

Tao Juan's smile was still as sweet as ever. Her assistant was surrounding her like a butterfly, and would occasionally point at the staff member with a finger smeared with nail polish.

"What is this?" Tao Juan lost her temper again, "I told you this a long time ago, I want ice water, not water that's warm, you're going against me on purpose, right?"

The female assistant, who was standing beside Tao Juan's chair, looked helpless as she stood there. I noticed that she was about to cry.

"Hurry up and change the ice water." Tao Juan's male assistant quickly said, "Sister Tao, don't be angry. She's a newcomer, she's very clumsy."

"Yes." Tao Juan nodded her head in satisfaction after hearing the male assistant's words.

There was always a type of person who got a little bit of results and became proud of it, believing that he could always stand on it.

I took one last look at them and decided to go to the editor's office. Since Tao Juan doesn't care about wearing clothes designed by Di Xi, then I will give it to someone else.

I find it much more fun to work than to stay home and clean up the mess with my husband and my mistress.

I stood in front of Harper's Bazar's office, took a deep breath, and knocked.

"Come in." I heard the editor say, her voice as gentle and magnetic as before.

I pushed open the door of the room. The editor was buried in a pile of papers on her desk, and when she saw me enter she smiled warmly, but I noticed that her eyes were shining. She had obviously been waiting for me for a long time.

"What's the matter?" The editor asked me, "Look, she clearly knew what I was here for, but she insisted on asking me to say it. Bad people are always done by others, just like how the ancient emperor wanted to build a garden. Even though the emperor wanted to build a garden, he always pushed it onto the head of the treacherous officials.

"I found Cheng Haiyue." I sat down in the chair opposite the editor. "She said she'd be right over."

The editor looked at me with a very shallow smile. "What about her?"

"How about an extra column?" I smiled and said, "Di Xi just returned home not long ago, although his reputation internationally is not bad, but his country is still a little lacking. Di Xi's taste is not bad, the clothes he designed are better than many designers in the country, so … …"

"Sure, if you can convince her." The editor said with a smile.

Tao Juan changed it with just a few words. Now that I have invited Cheng Haiyue over, and she wants me to kick Tao Juan out, no matter what I do, she won't lose out, and she won't offend anyone.

"Alright." I said, anyway I am just a small assistant, and the work that offends others is most suitable for me, if I do it well, maybe I can get a promotion and a raise. Di Xi did not lose out, and after earning a column, Cheng Haiyue earned a cover page.

I stood up and straightened my clothes and nodded to the editor.

Tao Juan was just as angry as before. She was dressed like a little princess, and the way she was angry at this moment made people unable to hate her.

"Please help me take a look at the box." I smiled at the girl who was standing next to me. She must be a magazine worker, I said, glancing at the sign she wore around her neck.

"About that …" The girl was stunned by my words before she nodded.

I looked at the photographer, whose head was covered in sweat and was growing impatient, and walked towards Tao Juan's male assistant. I smiled, showing a standard smile.

"Why did you come back again? Our Sister Tao said that she won't wear your clothes!" The male assistant was still acting high and mighty. His raised chin was like a cockfight.

I squinted my eyes and smiled, "There's no need, I don't need to trouble you big star Tao Juan." I placed my hands on my stomach and said calmly, "Cheng Haiyue will be wearing it, so when will the great star Tao Juan leave this place?"

When the male assistant heard my words, he glared at me. His eyes started to turn red, and even his hair, which was lifted like a chicken's comb, started to droop dejectedly.

"Nonsense!" The male assistant said, "This is what we agreed upon, us Tao Juan will take the cover of this episode."

"Yeah." I smiled and nodded, "We had previously agreed to let you, Tao Juan, wear our clothes to take pictures of the cover. Since you guys are not willing, then I will look for someone who is willing to wear our company's clothes, right?"

The male assistant glanced at me and rolled his eyes. He took out his cell phone and dialed someone's number.

"Hey, we previously said that Tao Juan would appear on the cover of this episode, how can we randomly change her name?" She held the phone in her hand and rolled her eyes at me.

I think he's probably calling the chief editor, it's just that the chief editor is so sly, how could he possibly get him involved, plus I guess the chief editor thinks that Tao Juan is too troublesome.

"Editor-in-Chief, how can we discuss this matter?" The male assistant said, "Isn't this your magazine?"

"This is different from before. We should be wearing new clothes, but we, Tao Juan are A-list celebrities, so wouldn't wearing those brands lower our prices?"

"Hey, don't hold a meeting!" He wanted to slam the phone down, but the next second he reacted and stuffed the phone back into his pocket.

"Alright." I still had a smile on my face. "Now do you understand? So hurry up and bring your family's top star away. The people who are willing to wear our company's clothes will be coming soon."

"No." The male assistant said, "This is what we've won. We won't leave."

"Then I guess tomorrow's headline would be Tao Juan playing big on the set. He clearly isn't on your cover, yet you still refuse to leave."

"What did you say!"

I suddenly heard a scream, and in the next second, I was slapped.

I looked up and found Tao Juan standing in front of me. Her face was flushed red and she was staring at me furiously.

It was so good that I wanted to clap her in my heart.
