Meiki looked at Charlie Wade and asked curiously, “What should I call you, and where do you work?”
Charlie Wade replied casually, “My last name is Ye, and my first name is Charlie Wade. I’m actually unemployed at the moment. I wouldn’t say I have any special qualifications.”
Meiki was surprised by Charlie’s response. She glanced at Xiao Churan, who was holding hands with him. Although neither of them wore fancy clothes or expensive jewelry, Charlie’s demeanor suggested he came from a good background. So, she found it hard to believe that he was just an unemployed vagabond.
With a smile, she said, “Mr. Ye, you’re being too modest. For this party, Sachiko and I only have three invitations. Our family asked us to invite people with talent and status. Obviously, you must have an impressive background if Sachiko gave you an invitation. How can you be unemployed?”
Charlie was a bit taken aback by Meiki’s straightforwardness. He wondered why she would say such things openly instead of keeping them to herself.
However, he didn’t want to dwell on it, so he said, “I really am an unemployed vagabond. I sometimes do Feng Shui consultations to earn a little commission. If you’re interested, Miss Meiki, I could help you with that.”
Only then did Meiki realize that Charlie wasn’t being humble; he was being honest.
She frowned playfully and said, “I’ve heard of Feng Shui. It seems to be a superstition in China. There are Feng Shui masters in Japan too, but most of them are considered low-class. The upper class usually doesn’t take them seriously.”
In Japan, people don’t believe in this. It’s imported.”
After that, Meiki turned to Xiao Churan and asked, “Where do you work?”
Xiao Churan replied, “I recently opened my own design studio.”
Meiki asked, “A design studio? Where is it? In China?”
“Yes,” Xiao Churan said. “It’s in Jinling.”
Meiki thought Xiao Churan might be a well-known designer in China, but she was surprised to hear the studio was in Jinling, a second-tier city. Even if it were a famous studio in Tokyo, it didn’t seem impressive. Plus, a new and unknown female designer in Jinling didn’t catch her interest.
So, she smiled and said, “A top designer is coming to today’s party, invited personally by the head of the Mitsui family. I wanted to introduce you to her, but I think the difference in your levels is too big. It might be better to avoid any awkwardness.”
After that, she looked at Sachiko Sasaki with a hint of sarcasm and said, “Sachiko, you wasted three valuable invitations on friends who can’t measure up. Have you thought about how to explain this to grandpa?”
“There’s nothing to explain,” Sasaki Yukiko said calmly. “Since grandpa gave me three invitations, I can invite whoever I want.”
She then added, “Besides, you have no right to judge my friends!”
Miki yelled angrily, “You’re foolish! Grandpa gave you those invitations to invite respectable people who would help our family’s future! It’s not just for you to bring low-class friends to mix with the elite! You know how picky Tawanna is about her social circle. If she finds out you invited these unscrupulous people…”
Cats and dogs ended up at the party that the Mitsui family had carefully organized. Dong Ruolin felt a surge of anger. She was surprised that Meiji had been acting so sarcastically, especially towards Charlie Wade and Xiao Churan, who she had invited to meet a celebrity. It was unexpected that the celebrity hadn’t met them before, and now this crazy situation had turned against her.
Xiao Churan, who usually stayed calm, felt embarrassed by the scene. She didn’t want to confront the aggressive woman, so she thought it would be best to just step back and avoid the conflict.
