As soon as they stepped into Valmont Haute Couture, the air of luxury was unmistakable. The marble floors gleamed under the soft lighting, and the faint scent of high-end perfume lingered in the air. Mannequins dressed in exquisite gowns lined the showroom, each piece a silent testament to the brand's exclusivity.
Lixue walked in with Shi Haoyue and Xu Qian, her expression calm, her every movement exuding quiet confidence.
A poised assistant stepped forward, giving a respectful nod. "Miss Y.L., welcome. The executives and lead designers are expecting you."
They were led through the expansive hall, passing by busy designers and tailors, their hushed conversations blending with the faint rustling of fabric.
Shi Haoyue leaned slightly toward her, lowering his voice. "Valmont isn't like other brands. They don't just look at popularity—they want someone who fits their image completely. If they're inviting you for negotiations, they're taking you seriously."
