The fashion show was about to begin, and Shang Yan took Chu Jinchu to meet other people.

Upon learning Chu Jinchu's identity, everyone was extremely enthusiastic and greeted her.

Chu Jinchu had never been treated so warmly before, and he was quite uncomfortable.

After sitting down, he whispered to Shang Yan, "Why are they so enthusiastic? Wasn't Eddie very cold and aloof before? How come he has become so enthusiastic?"

"It's all because of your identity." Shang Yan pursed her lips and smiled proudly.

Chu Jinchu was embarrassed. To be honest, after she had this identity, many people's attitudes towards her did change a lot and became more enthusiastic.

However, she has been taking care of the children at home during this period, and most of the people she met were from similar social classes. They were enthusiastic, but not this enthusiastic.

I didn’t even know that I had such a special identity outside?

At the end of the show, their company’s work received unanimous praise from the audience!

Those compliments made Shang Yan feel embarrassed.

Many designers came to communicate with her and chat with Chu Jinchu.

"Sorry, everyone, we have something else to do today, so we have to leave first. We will communicate next time."

Shang Yan finally managed to get out of the crowd and pulled Chu Jinchu and Yun Ya away.

"call."

After going out, Shang Yan couldn't help but exhale deeply, and said with a smile: "This is really a case of one person's success bringing prosperity to everyone. Don't I know my own design? Although it is very good, it is definitely not the best in the whole show. Most of these praises today are because of our President Chu's status."

"Should I not come to such occasions again in the future?" Chu Jinchu said.

Shang Yan immediately said, "No, why don't you come? You didn't ask them to do anything. It's their own business if they want to curry favor with you. Why are you making things difficult for yourself because of their business?"

“But if he is like this, what if he asks me for help in the future and I can’t agree?” Chu Jinchu worried.

She would not make things difficult for the Chu family for anyone.

"Then just don't agree," Shang Yan said, "Do you think these people are trying to curry favor with you just to get your help? You're wrong. This is the simplest human nature. Human nature is to admire the strong. Regardless of whether that person can help you or not, as long as he is a strong person, you will involuntarily want to curry favor with him. If someone insists on using this kind of relationship to force you to help, you don't have to help him, because he has never considered your situation at all."

"Mr. Chu is not as good as you at grasping the ways of the world. You should indeed attend fewer occasions like this in the future," said Yun Ya.

Chu Jinchu nodded. She felt that what Yun Ya said made sense.

Shang Yan said, "Okay, if you don't want to come, then don't come, but you still have to attend our own dinner today. They have worked so hard for so long, and as the company's largest shareholder, it's only appropriate that you show up."

"Of course, I have already promised and I won't regret it." Chu Jinchu said.

They went to the booked hotel together.

Shang Yan had guessed long ago that their fashion show would be a great success, so she booked a private room in a more upscale hotel.

Invite all the staff and models participating in this event to celebrate together.

In fact, Eddie never participated in occasions like this before.

But she participated this time, and everyone knew that she participated because of Chu Jinchu's identity.

However, who among them is not afraid of this identity?

So there was nothing to be ashamed of. Even without Chu Jinchu, Eddie was still the biggest star in the room, looking down on the whole place with dignity and coldness.

Only when Chu Jinchu came did she smile and greet her warmly.

"Did you see that? Eddie is so hypocritical. He usually ignores everyone and acts arrogant. But when he saw Mr. Chu, he immediately licked him like a pug."

"That's right, what do you mean by aloof and cold? It's just that he looks down on others. When he meets someone with a good background and status, he will flatter them anyway."

In the bathroom, two female models were putting on makeup while chatting and complaining about Eddie.

However, just as the female model finished her words, the door of the cubicle was pushed open.

Eddie came out and said coldly, "When you say bad things about someone behind their back, don't you check to see if the person is there first?"

The two female models didn't expect to be caught by her on the spot. Their faces turned red and they put away their makeup boxes in panic.

Seeing their panic, Eddie sneered and said, "You are right. I am just pretending to be aloof and cold. I just look down on you. What do you have that I admire? Is it your work ability, or that you were caught saying bad things about people behind their backs, but you don't even have the courage to refute it? Not to mention your status, what makes me admire you?"

"Humph, you are not much nobler than us."

The female model was so angry that she couldn't help but retort.

Eddie said: "I am not nobler than you, but I am braver than you. I don't need to flatter you, so I don't need to be nice to you. If I want to flatter Mr. Chu, I won't be afraid of you seeing that I am flattering him."

"Humph, you are right to lick my dog."

The other female model also snorted coldly and dragged her companion away.

After they left, Eddie sneered.

After washing and drying my hands, I was ready to leave, but then my cell phone rang.

The special ringtone of the incoming phone call made her heart panic and her face turned pale involuntarily.

If it were the case in the past, she would definitely want to check if there was anyone in the bathroom before deciding whether to answer the phone. But she was just provoked by those two people and was too lazy to check again.

Besides, there weren't many empty seats in the bathroom. No one had come out yet, so there must be no one there.

So he answered the phone and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"Zhao Di, are you busy now?"

"Just tell me if you have something to say." Eddie interrupted her impatiently.

The woman on the phone wasn't angry either. She smiled and said, "Tuition is due soon. When will you transfer the money?"

"Didn't I just transfer money to you last week? It was enough for them to pay their tuition. Why do you want money again?"

"Oh, it's your dad. Seeing other families buying cars, he wanted to buy one too. So he used the money... to pay the down payment for the car. Don't be angry, he's also thinking about our family. He can also drive to pick you up when you come back, so you don't have to take a taxi. And he can also drive to pick up your brothers and sisters from school in the future, so they won't suffer as much. We know you're working hard outside and it's not easy to make money, but we're all a family, you..."

"For the last time." Eddie interrupted sharply with a trembling voice, shaking with anger.

The woman shut up, and after a while she asked quietly, "What do you mean the last time?"

"This is the last time this month. I will transfer the money tomorrow. If you still don't pay their tuition, then let them drop out of school! Anyway... I didn't go to school and have no education, but I still survived, right?"

Eddie cried as he spoke, and then hung up the phone forcefully.

Her tears flowed uncontrollably, and looking at herself in the mirror, she looked as ridiculous as a clown.

Yes, she is aloof and cold, and people say she is even more stylish than the rich and famous ladies.

But she is a rich and famous lady and she is really stylish. What does she have?

A name called Zhaodi, a bunch of family members who need her to support, and her arrogance and coldness are all pretended.

If you don't pretend, you will accidentally expose your weaknesses and become the target of other people's attacks.

"Buzzing."

In the innermost compartment, there was a sudden sound of a cell phone vibrating.

"Who?"

Eddie immediately wiped his tears, strode over and was about to kick the door.

"it's me."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the other party had to open the door and come out.

Seeing Chu Jinchu, Eddie was stunned for a moment, and asked in a panic: "Boss Chu, why is it you?"

Chu Jinchu's phone rang again. She could only answer it quickly and said to Shang Yan, "Don't rush me. I'll be back soon."

"Are you okay? If you don't come back, I'll go to the bathroom to save you." Shang Yan said.

"Be right back."

Chu Jinchu hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she explained to Eddie awkwardly, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I'm... breastfeeding, and it's a bit troublesome without the baby around. So I went to the bathroom over here to take care of it, and I didn't expect to hear these things. Don't mind what those two people said. I didn't think you were... you are Xie Buyan's person, and Xie Buyan is also my cousin. We are friends, there's no such thing as licking or not. Besides... I didn't hear what you said just now, so don't take it to heart."

Addie smiled bitterly. It was obvious that she heard everything.

"Few people know that my original name was Zhaodi, and I was the eldest in the family. In my place, couples all want to have a son, so they named me Zhaodi after I was born. Unfortunately, I didn't have a younger brother. I had Pan'er, Deng'er, Lai Di, Ying'er, and Yin Di, and I had six daughters before I had a son. Because we had so many children, our family was the poorest, so I dropped out of school early and went out to work. I have never been to school and I have no education, which is easily exposed when I open my mouth. I don't like to talk. Others say that I am aloof, but in fact I am afraid of communicating with others. Later, I entered this industry and was lucky to meet Mr. Xie, who made me what I am today. But there are too many people in my family, and I have to send money home every month, which is very tiring."

Eddie sneered at first, but as he spoke he couldn't help feeling aggrieved and tears began to well up in his eyes.

Chu Jinchu didn’t know how torturous her life was, but having lived through poverty, being exploited and humiliated, she could understand her feelings very well.

"Don't be sad, you are fine now. The most important thing is to live your own life well. There is no need to force other people's responsibilities on yourself. There is no need to be grateful to anyone, especially those who don't want you to live a happy life."

He took two steps forward and hugged her gently.

Maybe these words were of no use, but she thought, maybe she needed this hug.

"But if I don't give them money, my five younger sisters will drop out of school early like me and go out to work, which is very tiring," Eddie said while choking.

She had been caught in the rain before, so she knew how uncomfortable it felt.

She didn't want her sisters to get wet in the rain, so she wanted to hold an umbrella for them.

But it’s so difficult. It’s so difficult for one person to hold an umbrella for so many people!

"You can let it go if you can't hold on any longer. Everyone has their own destiny, and you're just a little girl." Chu Jinchu comforted her.

Addie's tears welled up. It was okay to be tired, but no one had ever told her that.

After a moment, he pushed her away, wiped his eyes vigorously and said.

"Boss Chu, please go back first! I need to put on some makeup. I can't let anyone see that I cried."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Chu Jinchu assured her.

Eddie nodded.

In fact, she was not afraid of telling others about it. Anyway... it didn't matter!
