Chapter 30: Rose Public Mall Part 3

[Ye Sui used to be called little Chang Ying. Now, not only is she prettier, but her reputation has also been reversed. You don’t have to worry, though. I think Chang Ying is crying at home. No wonder she became ugly some time ago.]

The netizens’ comments not only hit Chang Ying’s confidence but also affected her subsequent work.

Dior had already been in contact with Chang Ying for some time. If she could exhibit their products well and maintain her image and style, she would become the next brand ambassador.

Chang Ying was allowed to wear a Dior’s dress, but the result was not as they had expected. She did not make netizens want to buy it, but rather, she dissuaded a large number of people. They didn’t want such a brand ambassador.

Dior’s attitude towards Chang Ying slowly cooled down, and it was said on the surface that the brand ambassador post would be left empty for a while. In fact, it was to tell Chang Ying that she was out of business.

On the contrary, the brand of the independent designer had become a hit because of Ye Sui, and its sales volume had soared.

Ye Sui’s workload gradually increased. She had never been a spokesperson and commercial endorser before, but unexpectedly received an invitation of cutting the ribbon at the mall.

Renjie said that Rose Public Mall was relatively remote, so they set off early. Halfway there, Ye Sui learned the truth.

Why did she receive such a rare event like cutting the ribbon for a large shopping mall? It was because this public mall was haunted, and there was no star willing to take the job!

It was said that it was once a good place for Feng Shui. But when the news came that a mall was to be built here, many strange things happened, especially in the last month. Near the opening time of the square, nearby residents would hear music in the middle of the night.

Everyone said there must be something evil lurking in this place. However, due to the low rent, there were still shops opened for business. This time, they needed a famous star to cut the ribbon and hold the ceremony.

Renjie threw a big bomb: “This sum of money is more than what you can get for a drama.”

Under the lure of money, Ye Sui gave in. She still had to make a good profit and raise Chen Shu. If worst comes to worst, she had to get through this day and reward herself with the money.

When Ye Sui arrived, it was still broad daylight, and even if there was overwhelming sunshine, the atmosphere inside was chilly. Although she had not seen ghosts yet, this ambiance was not something right.

When Ye Sui cut the ribbon, a few people came. Only the passers-by who didn’t know the truth came in hopes of a lively party. In the face of several media reporters underneath, the smile on her face was decent, though.

Ye Sui’s smiling face was almost rigid. She felt that her beauty would be destroyed by the cruel autumn wind and prayed in her heart to end it quickly. She really wanted to go home.

On the other side, Wang Chuan sat on the sofa in Chen Shu’s office, chatting.

“Miss Ye cut the ribbon at Rose Public Mall today.”

Chen Shu still remained indifferent as if he didn’t care. He kept his eyes at the computer screen on the table, his fingers were free, and his eyes rested on the screen to check important documents.

According to Chen Shu’s request, Wang Chuan had to know Ye Sui’s schedule.

Ye Sui’s activities were not that active. Nothing would happen on regular days, and there were no problems with online articles and public opinions. However, Wang Chuan felt it necessary to tell Chen Shu an exciting thing today.

Wang Chuan: “I heard this place is haunted.”

He lowered his head to check the information of Rose Public Mall. Looking at the weird urban legends, he totally didn’t believe in ghosts.

Isn’t the homophonic name of this public mall ghost-free? This name is really three hundred and twenty taels of silver-free here** clearly telling everyone that we have problems in this place.

(fig. to reveal what one intends to hide)

Wang Chuan had been with Chen Shu for half a day, but he hadn’t gotten a response. However, when Wang Chuan looked up, he found the office empty. Their boss had already left.

During the rush hour, there were some traffic jams on the road. Chen Shu was driving while paying attention to the time. It got dark fast in autumn, and it was already dusk.

When Chen Shu’s car arrived at Rose Square, it was almost night. The mall was empty and was covered with a layer of light. Under the gradually deepening darkness, it looked more and more desolate.

The ribbon-cutting was completed a while ago, and Ye Sui had disappeared.

Chen Shu lifted his eyelids and glanced at the sign of Rose Square. He did not know when the paint had fallen from the signboard, but he could only see three brightly-lit characters.

Ghost! Public! Mall!**
