Republic of China Designer [Transmigration Book]

The professionalism of the gossip tabloid reporter made Dong Shi react quickly, seized the last-minute interview opportunity, and asked questions like a cannonball: "Mr. Gu, what is your relationship with Xia Jinting?" What do you think of Yimingfang?" "What are your thoughts on Xia Jinting coming out publicly?"

Gu Que asked indifferently: "Who is Xia Jinting?"

Those five words froze the air in the store.

Dong Shi froze in place holding the camera, the guys were dumbfounded, and a gleam flashed in Tan Min's eyes.

Gu Que and Xia Jinting, have the trouble reached this point?

Relying on the five words, Dong Shi imagined a scene of lovers turning against each other. Even though he was thrown out of the store in the next second, he still bit his lip and smiled like a flower.

She had a hunch that with the love-hate entanglement between Gu Que and Xia Jinting, she would definitely get a very generous bonus by the end of the year.

As Dong Shi expected, when the newspaper of the day hit the street, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole city.

The story of lovers turning against each other has caused the citizens to discuss it.

People always hope that the story will have a happy ending in the end, and Gu Xia and the two turned against each other, which made the citizens who heard about it feel sorry.

The opposition from the public is much smaller than when Xia Jinting came out publicly.

Some people even wrote articles to publicly express the hope that the two can clear up their misunderstanding and get back together.

When Xia Jinting read this article, he was drinking tea curled up on the recliner in the studio, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The next second, the phone rang.

Xia Jinting accepted it.

The moment Gu Que's voice sounded, Xia Jinting hung up the phone with a "snap".

Not long after, the phone rang again.

Xia Jinting picked up the receiver and heard Gu Que's greeting again.

"Snapped--"

Xia Jinting hung up the phone again.

He counted silently in his heart, and after a while, the phone rang again.

There are only three things, Xia Jinting is very measured.

This time, he rushed to the other end of the phone and said, "Who are you? I don't know you."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and then there was a chuckle.

Xia Jinting's heart skipped a beat.

The person on the other end of the phone is not Gu Que.

"Mr. Xia, we talked on the phone before." A sentence in Chinese was not standard.

It's a foreigner!

Xia Jinting's mind turned quickly: "Are you... Smith?"

"I'm glad you still remember me, Mr. Xia." Smith copied his broken Chinese, struggling to get his words right, "I know you had a fight with Gu, and now you have left Gu's house .”

Xia Jinting's hair stood on end, feeling like he was being watched all the time: "What do you want?"

Smith: "Mr. Xia, let's meet. What I can give you is far more than what Gu can give you!"

The wall clock on the wall of the studio emits a rhythmic ticking sound, indicating the passage of time.

Xia Jinting was silent for a long time, and said, "Okay."

On the other end of the phone, Smith's laughter, mixed with obvious arrogance, made Xia Jinting frown.

After hanging up the phone, the uncomfortable feeling still lingered in Xia Jinting's heart.

But within three to five seconds, another new call came in.

This time, the call was indeed from Gu Que.

After Smith's mess up just now, Xia Jinting lost the mood to joke.

When Gu Que called back, the line was busy all the time. After the call was connected, he was keenly aware that something was wrong: "What happened?"

Xia Jinting: "Smith asked me to meet, and I agreed. Tell me, what exactly does he want to do?"

Gu Que: "Be careful."

Xia Jinting: "I guess he wants to recruit me to Xiute."

Gu Que: "Smith is insidious, you have to be careful."

Xia Jinting: "Are you not afraid that I will really agree to cooperate with him?"

Gu Que: "When and where to meet, I'll let someone protect you."

The conversation between the two of them was wrong, Xia Jinting saw that Gu Que's words were inseparable from safety, and couldn't help laughing: "Didn't the third master not know me? Now you know me again?"

Gu Que sighed softly, with a helpless and indulgent tone: "You said it, this sentence is the most lethal, and you are not happy if I say it accordingly."

Xia Jinting couldn't hold back when he heard the words, he burst out laughing.

In fact, Gu Que's phrase "Who is Xia Jinting" was a pretext that the two had discussed.

That day when Xia Jinting left Yimingfang, he had a fierce dispute with Gu Que on the surface, and everyone including Tan Min and the store clerk thought they had broken up.

Then Xia Jinting left and set up his own family, which was also regarded as a clear proof that the two parted ways.

The two agreed to use this method to paralyze the inner ghost, making Tan Min think that his divorce strategy was successful, so as to spy on the opponent's next move.

Neither of them expected that Mrs. Qu would suddenly appear and be rumored to have an affair with Xia Jinting.

In order to maintain Mrs. Qu's innocence and reputation, Xia Jinting must clarify this matter.

Because of this, Xia Jinting chose to come out publicly.

Xia Jinting had already expected that the public would dig out his relationship history after coming out, and this would definitely involve Gu Que.

In order not to let the scene they do be ruined, Xia Jinting moved to the studio overnight. At the same time, the two talked about each other, declaring that they were in a state of cold war.

Xia Jinting is well aware of the principles of doing a full set of plays, but what he didn't expect was that Smith couldn't hold back just after the play started.

Since Smith can say "Xia Jinting has moved out of the Gu family", he must always pay attention to Xia Jinting's movements.

Even in a room with closed curtains, Xia Jinting still has the illusion of being watched.Before talking to Gu Que, he had carefully inspected every part of the studio, making sure that there was no monitoring equipment before he dared to speak.

From the first interview with Dong Shi, this plan has been formed in Xia Jinting's mind.

He also expected that when Dong Shi looked back on Xia Jinting's emotional experience, he would follow the clues to find Gu Que, a key topic, and try his best to interview Gu Que.

In order to prove that they really "broke up", Gu Que had to say a very lethal sentence.

"Who is Xia Jinting?"

Nothing could be more ruthless than this sentence.

Xia Jinting wrote the script and lines for Gu Que, but he didn't expect Gu Que's acting skills to be better than he imagined.

In one sentence, it was cold, flirtatious and decisive.

Even though Xia Jinting already knew there would be such a scene, he still couldn't help teasing Gu Que with words.

"Third Master, who is Xia Jinting?" On the phone, Xia Jinting asked with a pinched throat.

"It's my lover." Gu Que said a word, and he succeeded.

Xia Jinting was satisfied.

The two chatted for a while, exchanged "information" with each other, and then hung up the phone reluctantly.

Xia Jinting, who put down the receiver, gradually became serious.

The fact that Smith asked him to meet was like a thorn in his throat.

According to Gu Que, since Tan Min became the design director, the turnover of Yimingfang has been declining, and the new products launched are generally uncompetitive.

Customers are not fools, not only recognize the brand, but also recognize the real thing.

Tan Min still couldn't produce good works, and Yimingfang returned to the situation where four official designers supported the venue.

Formal designers have rich experience, and the works that can be designed are often old-fashioned, and they can't come up with new things.

Customers are gradually not buying it.

This trend gave Xia Jinting a bad feeling. At first, Xia Jinting felt that Smith placed Tan Min's chess piece in Yimingfang because he was doing some small tricks to make Yimingfang compete with Xiute. Downwind.

But now, Xia Jinting has an intuition that Smith's ambition does not stop there.

This kind of conjecture made Xia Jinting feel at a loss. In his previous life, he concentrated on designing, and Xia Jinting didn't know much about business competition.

In his view, each brand has its own unique brand culture behind it, which is irreplaceable.Even if the two brands are competitors, most of the big-name designers are sympathetic to each other.

This is the first time Xia Jinting has come across someone as fierce as Xiu Te, who is chasing and beating Yi Ming Fang.

But when Xia Jinting saw the real Smith, he instantly understood where the "jackal culture" of the Xiute Group came from.

Smith himself was a jackal.

His pupils were green, and the ambition and calculation in his eyes made Xia Jinting extremely uncomfortable.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xia to be so young?" Smith stared at Xia Jinting with a cigar in his mouth.

Xia Jinting: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Smith raised his eyebrows: "You Chinese, don't you all like to be polite before talking about business?"

Xia Jinting: "I'm in a hurry."

"Okay." Smith spread his hands, "I admire you very much, and I hope you can come to Xiute."

Xia Jinting: "I said, I won't go to Xiu Te."

Smith: "Why, I can offer a high price."

Xia Jinting: "It's not about money."

Smith smiled: "There is no problem that money can't solve. What can't be solved is just not enough money. If I pay five times, you won't come. What about ten times?"

Xia Jinting understood that Smith himself is a businessman through and through.

In modern times, Xia Jinting has also met the heads of many foreign clothing brands, most of whom are both designers and managers.He has basic respect and enthusiasm for fashion design. Even if there is a businessman who is chasing profit, he knows what is enough.

But Smith is not like this. In his values, he is used to measuring everything with money and interests.

Facing such a person, Xia Jinting changed his communication method.

Xia Jinting: "In this way, I have invested so much savings in preparing for the establishment of the studio, wouldn't it be a big loss to abandon it?"

Smith: "You mean, unwilling to give up your studio?"

Xia Jinting said seriously: "That's my hard work."

Smith: "What about Yimingfang? Is Yimingfang your painstaking effort?"

Xia Jinting paused: "It used to be."

Smith: "But now Gu completely denies your contribution and says he doesn't know you, are you willing?"

Xia Jinting asked back: "Is there a difference whether I am willing or not?"

"Of course." Smith smiled, showing his yellow teeth due to years of smoking, "As long as you are willing to come to Xiute, I will let you manage Yimingfang."

Xia Jinting was dumbfounded.

How could he manage Yimingfang when he went to Xiute?How can these two independent clothing companies be confused?
