Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

Li Yunmei was speechless. At this moment, the window of the backseat of the car opposite the road slowly lowered, revealing Jian Yiyi’s face.

Jian Yiyi waved her hand in their direction. It was dark, so Guan Tao couldn’t see her expression.

“There, you saw her! Quickly go over!” Li Yunmei couldn’t help but look at Guan Tao and urge her.

Guan Tao was stunned. Or perhaps she was surprised that Jian Yiyi would look for her.

The two of them were not friends to begin with. Ever since Jian Yiyi entered the entertainment circle, they had little contact.

Out of courtesy, Guan Tao still walked over.

When she reached the window, Guan Tao looked at Jian Yiyi and asked, “Jian Yiyi, why are you looking for me?”

Jian Yiyi smiled and nodded at Guan Tao. “I have something to discuss with you. Get in the car. It’s cold outside.”

Although it was already spring, the temperature difference in Baiyun City, which was located in the north, was still huge. Looking at Jian Yiyi’s attitude, Guan Tao felt that she had no ill intentions. She didn’t refuse and went around to the other side to get into the car.

The warm air in the car warmed her body instantly.

“What is it?” Guan Tao went straight to the point because she couldn’t figure out why she and Jian Yiyi were sitting in the same car.

Jian Yiyi couldn’t help but chuckle. She looked at Guan Tao and said softly, “I remember you were very introverted and timid in the past. After not interacting with you for a long time, your personality has changed a lot.”

Guan Tao frowned slightly. She didn’t want or feel like discussing her change with Jian Yiyi.

Fortunately, Jian Yiyi didn’t continue. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and said bluntly, “I’ve been thinking about how to ask you for a few days. In the end, I decided to tell you directly.”

Guan Tao didn’t respond and waited for Jian Yiyi to say it.

Jian Yiyi sighed and said, “I saw the dress you made. It’s very beautiful. I like it too. Moreover, I heard that you have your own sketchbook. There are over a hundred clothes you designed yourself. I think you have a talent.”

“So I want to ask you if you’re willing to be my designer?”

As expected, Guan Tao understood. When Jian Yiyi mentioned the dress, Guan Tao already had a premonition of what she was going to say because Qinghuan had already mentioned it to her.

Without waiting for Guan Tao to speak, Jian Yiyi continued, “Of course, if you’re willing, I won’t mistreat you.”

“I know your family background is not good. You relied on your scholarship to study in a noble school like Erzhong. With such a talented person like you, you must want to apply for an art school like Huaxian Beauty College for university, right? The tuition fee is very expensive. If you want to study abroad in the future, it will be an astronomical figure for you, right?”

“If you’re willing to be my designer, these problems will be resolved. Your future will become incomparably bright. I promise that the price I’ll give you will be enough for you to complete your studies and earn the first bucket of gold in your life!”

Jian Yiyi looked at Guan Tao sincerely and smiled. “How is it?”

She thought about this for a few days and thought about how to approach Guan Tao and tell her about it. However, after thinking about it, Jian Yiyi finally decided to say it.

Because they knew their relationship with each other. If she suddenly approached her deliberately, it would be too abrupt. If others found out, they would think that she had ulterior motives.

Jian Yiyi’d rather go straight to the point and use money to move Guan Tao because of her family situation. This was also the most direct and effective way.

However, after hearing Jian Yiyi’s ‘sincere’ invitation, Guan Tao’s heart was calm.

Everyone knew that she lacked money, and she was willing to do some work that she could do for money. She had already done this since junior high.

However, she wouldn’t do it for Jian Yiyi.

Qinghuan could give her the same conditions, so why would she choose Jian Yiyi?

The reason for refusing was that simple.

Guan Tao ignored Jian Yiyi’s expression and rejected her bluntly. “Thank you for your invitation, but I haven’t decided to enter this industry yet.”

As if she didn’t expect Guan Tao to refuse so bluntly, Jian Yiyi’s expression froze. Then, she quickly said, “Aren’t you going to consider it? Or… have you already promised Xia Qinghuan?”

Guan Tao shook her head. “I didn’t promise anyone because I know what I should do now.”

With that, Guan Tao ignored Jian Yiyi and opened the car door to get out.

She did not promise anyone. Even when Qinghuan asked her before, she only said that she wanted to consider it.

Now, she had already thought about it.

Guan Tao called Qinghuan as she walked. As soon as the call went through, she said, “Qinghuan, if you need me to make a gown for you in the future, I can make it for you anytime. But forget about the contract. I want to work hard to get into Huaxia Beauty College and finish university there. I still have a lot to learn. I’m just talented now, but I lack professionalism. A designer who only has a shell will one day finish his job.”

“Can you understand me?” Guan Tao asked.

When Qinghuan heard this, she couldn’t help but say gently, “Silly Tao Zi, of course I understand. This is also a decision I hope you should make. Didn’t you realize I kept telling you that day to consider it carefully?”

“I know that learning art requires a lot of money, and you’re very short of money, so I can’t ask you to refuse to sign the contract. However, I think the same as you. I hope you can study professionally and enrich yourself. With your talent, you’ll achieve something in the future. There’s no need to be anxious.”

“Tao Zi, calm down and think about this. I’m happy for you. You’ll get into an art school and succeed!”

Hearing that Qinghuan had long agreed with her, Guan Tao was so touched that her eyes couldn’t help but turn red. “Thank you, Qinghuan.”

On the other side, Jian Yiyi was so angry that she lost her mind. Guan Tao didn’t know what was good for her. She had drawn such a big pie for her, but she rejected it without thinking?

Was this person so poor that she had gone silly? She could have signed a contract with her. She could have used four years in university to earn money that others could not earn in their entire lives, but she rejected it?

Wasn’t it because of Xia Qinghuan? Jian Yiyi didn’t believe it. Guan Tao must have rejected her because of Xia Qinghuan!

With this thought in mind, Jian Yiyi called Dong Jie and blamed Xia Qinghuan for Guan Tao’s rejection!
