Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Due to the fact that they had run into their idol Si Yiyan and even got to interact with him up close, Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan grew extremely agitated and began discussing about how suave Si Yiyan was and how dashing and assertive of an aura he had...
At last, they decided to just stop shopping and booked a private room when they walked past a restaurant. After ordering some dishes, they began interrogating Wen Xinya and making her tell them when she got to know Si Yiyan, as well as the details of their relationship.
Wen Xinya stammered initially, but she decided to come clean and give in to her friends’ cold and harsh treatment.
The two of them remained silent.
Wen Xinya knew that her friends could not quite make any comments because of how secretive she was. However, she decided to get Si Yiyan to treat her friends to a meal when the time was right, partly to appease them and partly to make it known that Si Yiyan was her boyfriend.
Wen Xinya realized that she would run into Si Yiyan wherever she went lately, and she reckoned that it definitely wasn’t a coincidence!
She wondered, What is Si Yiyan trying to do? Is he planning to declare our relationship?
Wen Xinya’s head was sent into a frenzy. She did not wish to announce their relationship to the world so soon because she would be judged by the public once Si Yiyan’s identity was exposed, and she would suffer a huge blow as well.
They would probably accuse her of using her connections to the leader of the Xiasi Group to take herself to greater heights.
They would think that she had depended on Si Yiyan to gain everything she owned today.
All of her hard work and efforts would then be undermined and thwarted.
She did not wish to see that happen, but... Si Yiyan was not a man who had to be kept hidden and she did not wish to forever be in a clandestine relationship!
Ah!!! What should I do!?! It’s so annoying!
“Because love will never change...”
Wen Xinya’s mobile phone began to ring. After getting a grip on her emotions, she answered, “Hello, I’m Wen Xinya!”
A woman who sounded like she was in her thirties, answered, “Hello, Miss Wen. I’m Miss Miao, the chief editor from Poise fashion magazine.”
Wen Xinya asked in astonishment, “Chief Editor Miao, what is it that you’re looking for me for?”
Poise fashion magazine was a renowned magazine in the nation, and its content would often cover topics related to makeup, the latest accessories, shoes, bags, and apparel. It was a classic women’s magazine that was loved by the upper-class society. It had also become a guide for the latest trends in women’s fashion in the nation and was rather influential in other nations as well. Most of what foreigners knew about Chinese women was through the magazine.
Chief Editor Miao was already 39 years old this year and she enjoyed a good reputation and commanded respect in the upper-class society, second only to Zhou Huiyan. Wen Xinya did not expect that Chief Editor Miao would look her up.
Chief Editor Miao was rather straightforward and her tone was alluring and graceful. “I’d like to invite you to be the main figure for the next issue of our magazine, Miss Wen.”
She had always admired Wen Xinya and she could tell from Wen Xinya’s sudden evolution from a gangster to the most prestigious heiress and socialite of the city, that she was commendable and respectable. Money and riches could never take away her poise, grace, and confidence.
Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya exclaimed, “Are you kidding me, Chief Editor Miao!?!”
In every issue of Poise magazine, there would be an interview conducted with the prestigious women of society, and those who had the honor of being interviewed were all deemed as the symbols and representatives of “Poise” and were considered trendsetters who would garner a massive following.
People like Tang Xiaowei, Zhou Huiyan, Madam Gu and several other famous socialites had all had the honor of gracing the covers of Poise fashion magazine.
Chief Editor Miao answered, “Of course not. Miss Wen, are you interested in taking up the offer?”
Trying to suppress her shock, Wen Xinya answered, “I know that Poise is an age-old renowned local fashion magazine that has become a trend guide for the women of our nation. It is the main fashion influencer and has a substantial influence on overseas readers as well. Those who have been interviewed by Poise are all renowned, prestigious, esteemed, talented, influential and capable individuals. I feel flattered but a little confused about why Chief Editor Miao would be willing to offer me the chance to be interviewed for the next issue.”
Being extremely self-aware and conscious of her disdainful past, Wen Xinya knew that she fell short of being prestigious, all-rounded and influential, despite having been glorified by the masses. Although she had gained some reputation and fame, she still could not hold a candle to socialites like Tang Xiaowei and Zhou Huiyan.
Chief Editor Miao smiled and said, “Miss Wen, you don’t have to be so harsh on yourself. Everyone in the circle has eyes to see how outstanding you are. I’m sure you don’t need me to go into detail. We’ve given the idea some thorough consideration before deciding to interview you for our next issue. Miss Wen, you may log onto our official website and take a look at the poll that we hold before publishing every issue, where we allow readers and the public to vote for the person they’d like most for us to interview. You’ve gained the highest number of votes amongst the nominees for this issue.”
Wen Xinya was greatly taken aback. She hurriedly logged onto the Poise website to see that there was indeed an ongoing poll and she had already garnered more than 100,000 votes for herself.
Chief Editor Miao said smilingly, “We’ve already built a strong foundation and name for ourselves. However, times are changing and so are trends. We can’t remain in the status quo forever and hence, we’re planning to create an issue about views from the youths.”
“According to what I know, there are plenty of heiresses from affluent and prestigious families who enjoy a better reputation, have more class, elegance, and influence than me.” Wen Xinya instantly understood that Poise had always been gravitating towards mature and elegant individuals and would be undermined by the changing times if they were to remain stagnant.
Chief Editor Miao answered, “With the change of times, maturity and grace are no longer the representative qualities of women in the upper-class society, and women who are deemed as queens and goddesses have become the leading symbol of women, which standards are built upon. Everyone has a different sense and perspective of beauty nowadays, and that means that the most popular personality type now is being dominant and assertive, yet grounded and down to earth.”
Wen Xinya felt a little embarrassed. She knew that she had indeed been labeled as a queen and a goddess in the circle.
Chief Editor Miao continued, “Most importantly, you have the most interesting past and life journey amongst all the individuals of the upper-class society and you’re actually legendary, Miss Wen. You’re the representative of determination. Besides... you’re very outstanding and you managed to earn the compliments of many. You’re considered to be a leading figure.”
Chief Editor Miao’s words were indeed rather persuasive, though Wen Xinya did not agree right away. Instead, she said, “In that case, I’ll give it some consideration and give you an answer tomorrow.”
Chief Editor Miao answered smilingly, “Alright, I’ll wait to hear some good news from you then.”
