Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1121 - Our MengMeng Has Been Capable.

"Hello, Sister Xinyi, the stage show was successful. Thanks for choosing this one for me." Li Xue said on the call, as slowly but efficiently her hands moved to clean the makeup on her face. Though there were no excessive things on her face, still whatever there was, it was making her uncomfortable. Especially when there was no longer a stage for her to walk on today.

"I can see that, dear. The audience has been giving all favorable reviews online. The brand has created a new record within the fifteen minutes after the show ended. That's definitely a success. Congratulation, Xiao Xue." Lin Xinyi as well sounded happy on the call. "As for the thanks which you are giving to me for choosing this brand for you. I think you shouldn't just thank me for it. Without the permission of the Royal Highness, it would have been impossible."

She added but her words paused when from the side she heard, Xiao Meng, interrupting Li Xue.

"Sister Xue, let me help you. Why are you doing it yourself? If not done properly, you would have rashes on your skin." Xiao Meng said as reaching out a wipe, she helped Li Xue with her face.

Li Xue didn't reject her help instead smiling at her, she allowed her to do it. Then putting the call on the speaker, she added to Lin Xinyi to say, "By the way, Sister Xinyi, I think you should talk to the company for MengMeng as well. In recent days she has learned many things about her work and has been doing great. She deserves a bonus for sure."

Hearing Li Xue propose that, the assistant's eyes glimmered with gratitude but that gratefulness in her eyes was just half of the whole as she still waited to hear the response of the superior on it.

Lin Xinyi hummed at the suggestion. "Mhm … we would see into it. In the coming quarter meeting of the company, I would remember to add it on my report of request." She said and the little young assistant was all overjoyed. But then ignoring that one topic for a moment, the manager asked something that was confusing her for some time now. "Li Xue, have you left the auditorium already?"

"Mhm-hm, Sister Xinyi. After the show ended, we left giving the notice to the company representative. He said that we can omit the small party after, if we are not comfortable. And for some reason, I was really not in favor of it.? I felt it would be better if in the meantime I visit the palace and thank Royal Highness instead." Li Xue said before asking with some doubt, "Did I do something wrong, Sister Xinyi?"

Li Xinyi didn't reply instantly but then pausing for a moment, she denied it. "It's good to attend those end parties sometimes. But since you were not comfortable, it's okay. I will talk with them personally and state the reasons behind your this reserved act. Don't worry."

She said and then added, "Also since you have already left the venue, I assume you are already on the way to the palace. So go on with it and make sure to show your gratefulness to Her Highness. As you were able to sign this contract just because she was ready to allow you. Otherwise, you would just have missed this chance in the end." She said and Li Xue hummed to her.

In the project contract that Li Xue has signed with the Royal Association, it was clearly written that up until she completes her tenure with the royales she won't be allowed to take any project.

But with the help of Chen Rui, it wasn't hard for her to take permission. And the brand which Li Xue modeled just now, has an important part to constitute to the aim that she has kept in plans from the beginning. Missing this one opportunity would have meant that she has pushed herself back by several steps. So it was great that she was able to do it at the end of the day.

"Don't worry, Sister Xinyi. I would make sure to show our gratefulness to Her Highness later." Li Xue said before disconnecting the call with a smile. The makeup was already off her face, so looking at the mirror, she gave some touch-ups to her bare skin before turning to thank the girl on her side. "Thanks, MengMeng for helping me with this. And also, congratulations. I am sure Sister Xinyi would definitely make the company give you a good bonus for your hard work."

Xiao Meng blushed. "Hehe … I believe the same, Sister Xue. Thank you for putting a word for me earlier. If not for your saying before, I would have not thought myself to be capable." She said and Li Xue shook her head.

"Nope dear, you have made yourself capable with hark work. Seeing you growing, I feel proud of you. Not just because you work for me; but also, because I have been the idol who you adore." She said and feeling genuine appreciation from her, the young assistant was all over the sky. Her eyes slowly moved to look at the man who was driving at the front. But then turned away when she found him all focused on the road.

Li Xue smiled when she found the sweetness in the gaze of the girl. She didn't fail to notice that for whom she had turned to look at the front. So, with an intention to help her, she asked, "Mr. Driver, our MengMeng has been hardworking and capable, hasn't she? What do you think of her?"

Du Fan was taken off guard. His ears got red as his eyes looked up at the rear mirror to stare at the girl who was clearly blushing, looking down at her hand on her lap.

Li Xue suppressed her laughter as she saw that and then probed again, "You haven't replied, Mr. Driver. Does it mean that you don't find her capable?" Purposely twisting her words, Li Xue made it sound like that. Xiao Meng felt hurt and looked up.

And out in panic to not worsen the situation, Du Fan shook his head, immediately blurting out in hurry, "No, no, Madam, Ms. Xiao has been the best capable employee of your company. She works really hard. I agree with it."

He said and Li Xue couldn't help but quirk her brow at his reply. "Best capable employee? Then what am I? Am I not capable?"

Du Fan felt trapped in the wrong way. He didn't mean that way. Shaking his head, he was ready to deny, but Li Xue halted him from saying anything more. Starting with a peal of laughter, she said, "It's fine. It's fine, Mr. Driver. I won't mind this. For a man, it's better if they praise one woman. Since you have found one good for yourself, praise her all honestly with your heart, no one would feel bad."

She said before turning to look at the girl on her side, "Right, MengMeng?"

Xiao Ment was flustered. "Sister Xue, we are almost near the royal premise. Do you want me to give the royal butler or Ms. Linda a call about your arrival?" She said, switching the topic of talk desperately to not get more awkward.

Li Xue couldn't help but laugh at them. But not teasing more, she shook her head, "No need to bother Mr. Cao or Ms. Linda. Earlier, I have dropped a text to Her Highness.. I would go and meet her on my own, while you can stay back here to enjoy each other's company."
