He did this for Qiao Nian's sake.
After all, Beijing is a mixed crowd of people, and there are always one or two people who don't use their brains when going out.
At this point, Su Mo wanted to see Qiao Nian's speech and the reactions of Tian Siqi and her group. He looked at the girl expectantly and said in an impatient tone, "You don't need to go up and speak, just show your face."
Qiao Nian was still sitting in the same position as before, leaning on her seat in a somewhat lazy posture, with the brim of her hat pressed down. The small game she was playing just died, and an "over" prompt sounded from the game sound effects. She put her phone aside, raised her head, and met Su Mo's expectant eyes, pausing for a second.
Just when Su Mo thought she might agree.
Qiao Nian lowered her eyelashes again, her raven-black eyelashes concealing her pupils. She closed the dead game, started a new one, and refused calmly, "No."
"Ms. Qiao, just follow the other designers on stage to thank them at the end of the show. You don't need to say anything..."
Qiao Nian just started playing a new game. She pressed the pause button and raised her head. The line of her cold and sharp jaw was smooth and beautiful, and when she raised her eyebrows, she looked so cool.
"I don't want to go."
"If the other designers of Seven knew that you were willing to go up with them, they would be so happy." Su Mo was not giving up: "Don't you want people to know that you are S, the chief designer of Seven? If you don't want people to know this, I can ask them not to introduce you in the introduction session. You just need to go on stage and walk the stage..."
If Qiao Nian was willing to go on stage, it would be enough to slap Tian Siqi and others in the face.
After all, not everyone can be a designer for SEVEN!
"Must go?" Qiao Nian's eyebrows and eyes were quite irritated, but his attitude towards Su Mo was good. At least he did not show any impatience.
She paused and continued, "I don't really like crowded occasions. I am accompanying my elders today, otherwise I would not have come."
Su Mo had originally hoped that she could go on stage and show her face to slap Tian Siqi and others who were talking behind her back, but after hearing what she said, he began to waver again.
What kind of person is Qiao Nian? He has been with Yuan Yongqin for so long, he knows it better than anyone else!
She was exactly as she said, she didn't like crowded occasions, nor did she like to be the center of attention in such occasions.
Su Mo was only briefly entangled and hesitant in his heart. He had already made a decision. His tense shoulders relaxed, and he smiled and said softly, "No, it's not necessary to go up. I just saw that you are here, Miss Qiao. You don't have to go up if you don't want to."
Without waiting for Qiao Nian to speak, he continued to ask gently, "By the way, Miss Qiao, President Yuan is backstage, do you want to meet her?"
Qiao Nian saw Ye Lan coming in from the corner of her eye, shook her head, and said concisely: "Aunt Yuan should be very busy, forget it today, maybe next time."
"Yeah." Yuan Yongqin was indeed very busy at the moment, and Su Mo did not force her. He nodded and said, "Then I'll tell Mr. Yuan later."
"Hmm." Qiao Nian saw Ye Lan coming over, raised his eyes, looked at him with pure black and white eyes, and said, "My elder is back."
Su Mo had long wanted to know who the 'elder' was who could get this big shot to go out and watch the show with him. Turning his head, he only saw Miss Ye from the Ye family, and no one else.
He was not sure whether the elder Qiao Nian was talking about was Ye Lan, but from the conversation just now, he could tell that Qiao Nian did not want to show off her status today. He turned around and said tactfully, "Then I won't bother you, Miss Qiao. You can enjoy yourself with your friends."
As he spoke, he straightened up, greeted Qiao Nian, and walked away before Ye Lan came over.
