Chapter 551


    “If you don''t resolve the matter, I won''t do anything to you. At most, I''ll just reveal the fact that you relied


    on giarism to win an awardst time—”


    “No, don''t. That was ages ago. I was young and ignorant back then. I''m sure there''s no need to hold


    such a trivial mistake against me my entire life, right?” Giorgio became anxious.


    “Get the gown done, and I''ll buy you drinks. If not, your reputation will be destroyed.” Nan Chen gave


    him two choices.


    “I''ll—”


    “That''s all.” Nan Chen ended the call at once.


    “Hahaha!” Without any dy, Sunny burst intoughter. “Since when is Sir Chen reasonable?”


    “Hasn''t he gone overboard by threatening me with my past?” Giorgio scowled.


    “Would he still be Sir Chen if he doesn''t intimidate you? Which one of us has escaped being bullied by


    him since we were young? On the contrary, hasn''t he always gotten our back whenever we''re in


    trouble?” Sunny replied.


    “That''s true, but there''s still no way I cane up with something in just a few days,” Giorgiomented.


    “That''s your problem. You''ll have to figure it out by yourself.”


    Even though Ning Ran sympathized with Giorgio, she felt it was inappropriate to interfere.


    Whatever arrangements Nan Chen had made, all they needed to do was to obey without question.


    Slumped in his chair, Giorgio continued to stare at Ning Ran.


    Feeling nervous, she wondered if he was nning to kill her instead.


    Nan Chen is the one who forced you to do it, not me. So please don''t vent your frustration on me.


    “Giorgio, if you really can''t do it, I''ll talk to Nan Chen and change his mind. After that, I''ll just get a gown


    from the mall,” Ning Ran suggested fearfully.


    In spite of that, Giorgio didn''t respond.


    Not knowing what else to say, Ning Ran continued to let him stare earnestly at her.


    After that, she turned to Sunny for help to defuse the situation.


    However, Sunny looked as if it had nothing to do with him and took out his makeup to freshen up


    instead.


    At that moment, Ning Ran was stunned at how effeminate Sunny behaved.


    “Hahaha!”


    All of a sudden, Giorgio burst intoughter before approaching Ning Ran, causing her to panic.


    Has he truly gone mad?


    “Well, the measurements are more or less there. All we need to do is to entuate her charm and


    make some minor alterations. That way, I canplete the dress in time! I''m a genius!” Giorgio


    eximed after scrutinizing Ning Ran.


    Clueless as to what was going on, Ning Ran could only force herself to smile awkwardly.


    Walking to her side, Giorgio showed her some pictures on his tablet. “Between these two gowns, which


    one do you prefer?”


    The two dresses had simple colors. One was ck, while the other was white.


    Both of them were avant-garde in their designs. The ck one even had diamonds embellished across


    its chest, giving it an opulent look.


    “Can I see the back?”


    After rotating the photos, the back of the dresses was shown.


    The ck dress had a more revealing back, while the white dress had a lower cut in front.


    “I like them both very much, but didn''t you say that there isn''t enough time to make them?”


    “These arepleted designs for one of the princesses of the royal family. She was going to wear


    them to a reception for foreign dignitaries. After making some observations just now, I noticed that your


    figure is simr to hers. Hence, all I need to do is to make some minor alterations, and you''ll be able to


    fit. It looks like my intellect has helped me to solve the problem of time!”


    Ning Ran uttered in shock, “I can''t wear the princess'' dress!”


    “There''s nothing to fear. Since I''ve not handed it to her, it doesn''t belong to her yet. We''ll use it to


    resolve our desperate situation first. Anyway, tell me which one do you prefer? I''ll make the alterations


    based on your measurements at once. Time is of the essence, so you had better be quick,” Giorgio


    hurried her.


    “I''ll go with the ck dress then,” Ning Ran answered.


    “I agree that it suits you more. By revealing your porcin-like back, everyone will be in awe of you.


    We''ll settle on this one then. Anyway, I''ll inform Sir Chen right away that I will get this done,” Giorgio


    dered in delight.


    His words indirectly reminded Ning Ran that her opinion didn''t matter. It all boiled down to Nan Chen


    instead.


    After all, the matter couldn''t proceed without his agreement.


    This time, she reached Nan Chen on a video call to let him choose the dresses.


    In the end, he replied, “Both aren''t good enough!”


    Giorgio panicked in response. “But, I designed these for a princess. She approves of them, so why not


    you?”


    “There''s room for improvement,” Nan Chen asserted coldly.


    “Where?”


    “At the back. It''s not like you don''t have enough material. Is it necessary to show so much skin? Won''t it


    be cold?” Nan Chen replied.


    “My God! Haven''t you attended tons of banquets? Isn''t a bareback amon urrence? What sort


    ofment is that? Even the princess isn''t afraid—” Giorgio yelled back.


    “Change it. Don''t reveal so much. A little will do. Also, extend the length of the gown,” Nan Chen


    added.


    “Extend the length? But under usual circumstances—”


    “I don''t care about usual circumstances. If I did, I would have gotten one from the mall instead of


    coming to you,” Nan Chen retorted.


    Tha two drassas had sim colors. Ona was ck, wh tha othar was whita.


    Both of tham wara avant-garda in thair dasigns. Tha ck ona avan had diamonds amballishad across


    its chast, giving it an opnt look.


    “Can I saa tha back?”


    Aftar rotating tha photos, tha back of tha drassas was shown.


    Tha ck drass had a mora ravaaling back, wh tha whita drass had a lowar cut in front.


    “I lika tham both vary much, but didn''t you say that thara isn''t anough tima to maka tham?”


    “Thasa aratad dasigns for ona of tha princassas of tha royal family. Sha was going to waar


    tham to a racaption for foraign dignitarias. Aftar making soma obsarvations just now, I noticad that your


    figura is simr to hars. Hanca, all I naad to do is to maka soma minor altarations, and you''ll ba a to


    fit. It looks lika my intact has halpad ma to solva tha prom of tima!”


    Ning Ran uttarad in shock, “I can''t waar tha princass'' drass!”


    “Thara''s nothing to faar. Sinca I''va not handad it to har, it doasn''t balong to har yat. Wa''ll usa it to


    rasolva our dasparata situation first. Anyway, tall ma which ona do you prafar? I''ll maka tha altarations


    basad on your maasuramants at onca. Tima is of tha assanca, so you had battar ba quick,” Giorgio


    hurriad har.


    “I''ll go with tha ck drass than,” Ning Ran answarad.


    “I agraa that it suits you mora. By ravaaling your porcin-lika back, avaryona will ba in awa of you.


    Wa''ll sat on this ona than. Anyway, I''ll inform Sir Chan right away that I will gat this dona,” Giorgio


    darad in dalight.


    His words indiractly ramindad Ning Ran that har opinion didn''t mattar. It all bod down to Nan Chan


    instaad.


    Aftar all, tha mattar couldn''t procaad without his agraamant.


    This tima, sha raachad Nan Chan on a vidao call tot him choosa tha drassas.


    In tha and, ha rapliad, “Both aran''t good anough!”


    Giorgio panickad in rasponsa. “But, I dasignad thasa for a princass. Sha approvas of tham, so why not


    you?”


    “Thara''s room for improvamant,” Nan Chan assartad coldly.


    “Whara?”


    “At tha back. It''s not lika you don''t hava anough matarial. Is it nacassary to show so much skin? Won''t it


    ba cold?” Nan Chan rapliad.


    “My God! Havan''t you attandad tons of banquats? Isn''t a baraback amon urranca? What sort


    ofmant is that? Evan tha princass isn''t afraid—” Giorgio yad back.


    “Changa it. Don''t ravaal so much. A lit will do. Also, axtand thangth of tha gown,” Nan Chan


    addad.

    “Extand thangth? But undar usual circumstancas—”


    “I don''t cara about usual circumstancas. If I did, I would hava gottan ona from tha mall instaad of


    coming to you,” Nan Chan ratortad.


    “Fine. It''s not a problem to extend the length. I can make all the changes that you asked for.”


    “Good. That''s settled then.”


    Just as he spoke, Nan Chen ended the call.


    “That''s exactly the way he behaves all the time! He never listens and insists on telling professionals


    how to do their jobs,” Giorgiomented.


    Sunny looked at Giorgio with a sense of schadenfreude. “There''s no point inining now that the


    matter has been settled. Anyway, show me the gown so that I can find Ning Ran matching shoes and


    decide on her makeup.”


    “Actually, there''s no need for all this trouble at all. I find all of this ridiculous,” Ning Ranmented


    meekly.


    “Not at all! Sir Chen has said it himself. This is your first time attending an event that is broadcasted live


    across the world. Therefore, it''s necessary to make an entrance,” Sir Chen exined.


    “In that case, why can''t I reveal her back or chest? Nowadays, actresses would die to wear as little as


    possible and show all the skin they possibly can. Instead, he doesn''t even allow me to show her back a


    little. What age do we live in now? Why is he being so conservative still? This is utterly frustrating,”


    Giorgio ranted.


    “It''s no useining to me. If you''re dissatisfied, you should talk to Sir Chen instead,” Sunny replied


    with a smile.


    “Forget it. I''m not going to get myself into trouble for nothing. He is nothing but a dictator. All right now,


    both of you can go. I need to start work right away.” Giorgio began to get his guests to leave.


    “Fine. We''re leaving now,” Sunny gestured to Ning Ran.


    “Please hand over the deposit first. The gown will cost at least two hundred thousand. So, it will be a


    hundred thousand now. You can pay the bnce when you pick up the dress.”


    Ning Ran was astounded to hear the price. Two hundred thousand? I can buy a decent car with that


    money! Also, such a dress can only be worn on extremely special asions. Therefore, isn''t this a


    waste of money?


    “Sir Chen will arrange for payment. You can''t expect me to pay.”


    Just as he spoke, Sunny gave Ning Ran a look to signal her not to do the same.


    Obviously, Sunny didn''t know Ning Ran very well. If only he was aware of how stingy she was, he


    needn''t have worried about her at all.


    There''s no way I''m going to pay so much for a dress. What kind of joke is that? Even at two thousand, I


    feel it''s too much, let alone two hundred thousand. I would rather go naked instead.


    “Of course. Nan Chen will take care of it.” Ning Ran nodded in agreement.


    “Fine. Off you go then,” Giorgio said with resignation.
