Hu stormed off in a rage, and no one knew what he would report to Song about this incident. But one thing was clear: it wouldn't be good. With Hu's attitude, they'd be lucky if he didn't exaggerate.
Zoe had already changed and completed her styling, just waiting for her turn to step onto the red carpet.
It was just the opening ceremony of a brand store, yet they had laid out a three-to-four-meter-long red carpet and set up a dedicated photo area.
In this era of social media, even physical stores carefully design photogenic marketing moments to spread online.
The gown Zoe wore had been borrowed from a major fashion label arranged by her company. She didn't need to worry about jewelry; the opening brand store specialized in jewelry and accessories, so all the guests were outfitted with pieces from their collection.
Lan meticulously looked Zoe over from head to toe and nodded approvingly. "You look perfect for this glamorous, wealthy style."
Zoe smiled, "I really like this dress today."
The dress, with a white base adorned with gold-embroidered branches and leaves, highlighted Zoe's fair skin and beauty, making her look like a symbol of opulence.
Lan nodded, "This style suits you well. When you're taking photos, remember to emphasize the bracelet on your wrist. It's one of their new pieces, and the earrings and necklace are also among their classic designs. Make sure to find the right angles to show them off."
Zoe nodded to show she understood.
After a while, a staff member from the brand came to escort them out.
There was a media zone not only on the red carpet but also just outside the lounge. As soon as Zoe stepped out, a camera followed her closely, capturing her every move.
This was arranged by the brand to gather footage for a Vlog or short video to post on social media.
It was a common promotional tactic, though it was Zoe's first time experiencing this level of attention for a commercial event. Previously, she hardly received invitations to events like these, let alone a personal Vlog camera.
Lan followed closely behind Zoe with a cheerful smile. They walked down the corridor and saw Si Tian, who was waiting ahead to step onto the carpet.
Si Tian was another young actress, though she was much more popular than Zoe. She debuted as a lead and had already starred in several productions, amassing a large fanbase.
The two were similar in age, both youthful and beautiful, standing together as a pleasing sight.
But when Si Tian glanced at Zoe, she turned away indifferently, as if she hadn't seen her.
Seeing Si Tian's cold attitude, Zoe wasn't about to approach and greet her enthusiastically. She simply stood back.
The brand staff had already coordinated their entrance order and some red-carpet arrangements in advance. Zoe was set to enter midway.
But just then, Si Tian suddenly asked the staff next to her, "Is she entering after me?"
Si Tian didn't specify who she meant, but there were only two actresses there, so it was clear whom "she" referred to.
Si Tian's abrupt question left the staff a bit flustered, and they stammered, "Uh, yes, I think so."
Si Tian frowned and said, "Change the order. I don't want her following me out."
