Qiao Jierou smiled and said, “That’s right.”
In fact, only she had a clear mind. She hadn’t completely lost to Qiao Weiyang yet only because she was willing to spend money to maintain her popularity on the internet and hire fake accounts to brag about her.
Relying on the Qiao family and Lin Heng, her business and film resources were still alright. She was not left too far behind by Qiao Weiyang.
However, in terms of real fans, she would probably be defeated by Qiao Weiyang.
Initially, she refused to admit it, but the trip to N Country was like a blow to her head. It woke her up and made her not dare to let her guard down anymore.
Qiao Jierou did not dare to completely rely on the judges’ true evaluation for this award.
Old Madam Qiao suddenly held her hand and said, “Jierou, you have to do well in the International Fashion Design Competition. You have to get a good result for the Golden Crown Film Awards too! When the time comes, your grandfather will split the family assets and you’ll get a big share. Do you understand?!”
Qiao Jierou immediately felt as if her heart was weighed down by a thousand kilograms.
When she found Lin Heng, she discussed the award with him.
Lin Heng said, “I’ve asked around. This time, White Fox has a good reputation and a good box office record. The people in the industry are indeed very optimistic about you and Weiyang. They’ll most likely choose one of you to be the Best Female Lead. In fact, the award might even be given to the two of you.”
“No, Brother Heng. I don’t want to get the same award as Sister.”
“Isn’t that good?” Lin Heng hoped that they could get the same award. That way, the relationship between the two sisters could even out. It would be a good thing for everyone.
Qiao Jierou quickly shook her head. “It’s not that I don’t want to win the same award as my sister. This award is so important. If the two of us win it together, it’ll mean something different. Just like how I don’t want to share the same man with my sister, I don’t want to share the award with her either. Do you understand such a mentality? I’d rather my sister win it alone.”
She took a step back and continued to look pitiful.
Lin Heng’s heart naturally softened. “In that case, we have to talk to the judges.”
He naturally helped Qiao Jierou.
“But in that case, Sister won’t be able to win the award. Will I be letting her down?” Qiao Jierou said guiltily.
“There’s no need to worry. Weiyang has a good portfolio of movies she’s filming now. She has a good relationship with Cheng Chaopin and Cheng Yijia. In the future, she’ll have plenty of movies to film and opportunities to win awards. Let’s focus on ourselves first.
Lin Heng thought for a while before speaking.
He had always liked to support the weak. Qiao Jierou had seen through his thoughts and grasped his weaknesses clearly. Every time, she would take the initiative to pull the same trick.
After confirming this matter, Lin Heng contacted one of the judges of the Golden Crown Film Awards, Huang Shitao.
“Is it enough to talk to one judge?” Qiao Jierou asked worriedly.
“As long as we convince him, the others will follow suit.” Lin Heng was very confident.
In a high-class private clubhouse, Lin Heng and Qiao Jierou met Huang Shitao.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Heng revealed his intentions.
Huang Shitao shook his head. “Our awards have always been fair and just. If someone really interferes, the awards won’t be fair anymore.”
“Mr. Huang, don’t worry. We won’t ruin the fairness of the awards. Jierou was also nominated with her own ability, right?”
That was true. White Fox had given Qiao Jierou a competitive edge. Apart from Qiao Weiyang, it was very difficult for others to compete with her.
Seeing his hesitation, Lin Heng threw out his conditions. “I know that the Golden Crown Film Awards wants to be an authoritative award in Asia or even the world, but it’s lacking an opportunity. Mr. Huang, Jierou is about to participate in the International Fashion Design Competition. If she can obtain a ranking in the competition, the Qiao family and the Lin family will immediately establish a brand for her called JR. At that time, it’ll be listed directly and occupy the international market. After that, we’d want to cooperate with some entities, such as the Golden Crown Film Awards. We’ll inject funds and push ourselves to the international stage to strengthen the dual development of the clothing brand and film industry. Let’s tread into international waters hand-in-hand.”
This promise was really tempting.
Although events like the Golden Crown Film Awards could usually get sponsors, their funds were always limited. It was very difficult to expand the influence and market.
It was indeed a good thing to have such a powerful sponsor.
Lin Heng smiled and said, “Mr. Huang, we’re not asking you to give Jierou an award out of thin air. It’s just that she has already been nominated. Whether you give her the award or not won’t affect your fairness, right?”
Huang Shitao fell into deep thought. It had to be said that Lin Heng’s words were too tempting.
No one could resist the double temptation of having their careers and projects take off.
After leaving, Qiao Jierou said in surprise, “Brother Heng, is what you said true? You’re going to establish a brand for me? And you’re going to list it?” “I wanted to hide it from you and give you a surprise when the time came. But now that you know, I won’t hide it from you anymore. Grandma Qiao and my parents have discussed it. As long as you can get a good ranking this time, you’ll definitely be able to join the International Fashion Organization. At that time. our brand will naturally enter the international market. We’ll earn foreigners’ money. We’re already in the midst of establishing the brand.”
“Great! This is great!” Qiao Jierou hugged him in surprise. “Brother Heng, thank you so much!”
“So you have to work hard! You have to fight for this good opportunity yourself!”
Qiao Jierou smiled innocently. “I’ll work hard!”
In her heart, she was secretly sweating. This time, she could only succeed and not fail. Otherwise, she would be stepped on by Qiao Weiyang.
Fortunately, she had seen all the designs in the folder. When the time came, it shouldn’t be a big problem for her to deal with the competition.
When Qiao Weiyang returned to Zhuojing Villa, Xiao Bao and Jingyun were playing with toys on the sofa.
She gently rubbed their two little heads.
Xiao Bao turned around and saw her. His eyes lit up as he stood on the sofa and threw himself into her arms.
She sat down with Xiao Bao in her arms and reached out to carry Jingyun over. Jingyun said faintly, “I heard you’re going on a business trip again?”
“Yes, but I’ll be back soon.” Qiao Weiyang reached out and raised her hand in midair. “I promise..”
