I have 1 after wearing the chronology
Chapter 209
The garment factory has completed the year-end settlement, and the profit is very gratifying. After removing the cost of raw materials and labor equipment, most of the rest has been invested in the construction of the factory area and advertising, so the account owed to the bank has to be moved back.
Following the personal loan, Chen Wan borrowed another 200 million in the name of the garment factory. After reading the financial statements of the garment factory, the bank approved it very happily.
Chen Wan asked the accountant to distribute a year-end bonus to all the workers in the factory, ranging from ten or eight yuan to several hundred. It all depended on personal performance, which in a daze raised the already extremely high efficiency of the workers. cut.
The two factories were close to each other, and Du Tenglong had also heard about Chen Wan's actions. He thought for a while and called Xu Kongshan, hoping to use Xu Kongshan's mouth to find out more specific things.
Du Tenglong has always been good at innovation. Giving bonuses to employees obviously increases the cost of the factory, but as the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep, and the enthusiasm of the workers is high. It is obviously a win-win situation.
However, the more specific Xu Kongshan is also not very clear: "How about I go back and ask for you?"
"Okay, you can ask for me." Du Tenglong was not in a hurry, he might not be able to do it in a while, so take his time.
This was not a secret that could not be revealed, and Chen Wan simply asked Xu Kongshan to find Du Tenglong to make an appointment for a suitable time for an interview.
As a latecomer, Chen Wan is more aware of the disadvantages of today's booming state-owned factories than Du Tenglong, an authority figure. Outdated equipment, single products, lax management, etc., led to the bankruptcy of a large number of state-owned factories in the 90s under the impact of foreign capital, setting off a vigorous the wave of laid-off workers.
Although the pharmaceutical factory has developed well under Du Tenglong's leadership, in Chen Wan's view, there are still many areas for improvement.
In addition, Chen Wan had some selfish intentions, if Du Tenglong adopted his suggestion, Xu Kongshan would also be the beneficiary.There is no way, the salary that the pharmaceutical factory gave Xu Kongshan was really a little less, and any small leader from the clothing factory would be better than him.
Chen Wan just said that how to implement it is Du Tenglong's business. He believes that since Du Tenglong has listened to it, he will take action.
Soon after the New Year's Eve, Chen's restaurant was closed, and Chen Qianjin took his family back to Ping'an Village.
No one has lived in it for a long time, so it is inevitable that there will be a layer of dust in the house, so those who sweep the floor sweep the floor, and those who wipe the table wipe the table. They are busy until it gets dark, and finally tidy up.
Because of Xu Kongshan's short vacation, he and Chen Wan returned on the evening of the 29th of the new year. They stayed until the afternoon of the third day of the junior high, and then returned to the city with a carload of local products.
On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Xu Kongshan went to work as usual. When Chen Wan woke up, the bed next to him was already completely cold, and the sweet potato porridge in the kitchen was steaming. It was obvious at a glance that it was Xu Kongshan's handicraft.
After breakfast, Chen Wan went to the garment factory and brought some sausages made by Zhou Mei to Man Yushan, who took the initiative to stay behind.
Hearing the knock on the door, Man Yushan put down his pen and opened the office door: "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Entering the office, Chen Wan handed over the sausage in his hand, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the colored line draft on the desktop, "Did you draw the design?"
"Yes." Man Yushan generously handed the design drawings to Chen Wan. During the Chinese New Year period, there was nothing to do in the factory, so he had a rare leisure time, so he resumed his old business on a whim.
Being able to become the marketing director of Luwei Company, Man Yushan's design level is of course not low, and the gorgeous feeling that comes to his face makes people feel as if he is in a banquet hall with bright lights in the upper class, which is extremely extravagant.
"It's beautiful." Chen Wan put down the design draft with admiration, "When will I start making it, and I will find two people to assist you?"
"No need to bother." Man Yushan pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "I can't hold a needle, so let's just enjoy painting."
Can't get the needle?Chen Wan's breath was stagnant, and she stared closely at Man Yushan's right hand, but there was no obvious scar on it: "What's going on?"
"I accidentally broke it when I was released. After I connected it, I didn't know why the needle shook violently." The needle in Man Yushan's mouth does not refer to all tools for making clothes. It is a heart disease, and there is no cure for it. Changed the subject, "Are you going to continue recruiting designers this year?"
"I'm sorry." Chen Wan never thought of bringing up Man Yushan's sad past, and the relaxed atmosphere just now no longer exists. "Take it easy for now, and wait for Guosheng to come back from Hong Kong City."
"It's okay." Man Yushan pulled out from the painful memories, sat down at the desk with Chen Wan, and talked about work without distraction.
Qian Guosheng took the opportunity of visiting relatives to go to Hong Kong City to play the front line. He and Chen Wan's focus is on the garment factory, and they need to find another suitable agent in Hong Kong City. The only one with ties to Hong Kong City.
The Shen family has a solid foundation in Hong Kong City, and although their influence is not one of the best, they still have a small status. With the background of the Shen family, Qian Guosheng should be able to bring them good news.
Chen Wan waited until the end of the first lunar month. It wasn't that Qian Guosheng was not going well, but that his grandmother was seriously ill and was stuck.
As a bustling city in line with international standards, people in Hong Kong City are far more passionate about fashion than those in the mainland.For those who love fashion in the Mainland, owning a "new style popular in Hong Kong City" is a capital worth showing off. However, with the sudden emergence of Chen Wan, the situation has changed quietly. Apparel came from behind and became the new leader.
Chen Wan wanted to take advantage of the film festival to enter the Hong Kong market, but he didn't know that Dongyan's reputation had already spread from the neighboring Guangzhou to Hong Kong. Qian Guosheng's trip to Hong Kong was beyond imagination.
The agent Qian Guosheng was looking for was his cousin, who used to do foreign trade. Hearing Qian Guosheng mention Dongyan's plan, the two hit it off. Once you've found it, you can say that everything is ready and only owes the east wind.
"Nice job!" Wang Li'an patted Qian Guosheng's shoulder with his palm, his expression of excitement visible to the naked eye.
Qian Guosheng was staggered by his slap, and took a deep breath, baring his teeth: "It's a good thing you took the picture of me. If Chen Wan got slapped by you, his brother Shan would fight for you."
It is well known that Chen Wan and Xu Kongshan have a good relationship. Even though he knew that Qian Guosheng was joking, Chen Wan couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He cleared his throat to cover up his leaked emotions: "Guosheng has worked hard, you have two days off. , We will start preparing materials on Wednesday."
"Don't worry, it's on me." Qian Guosheng made an OK gesture, "By the way, there is a fashion design competition in Hong Kong City in June, Chen Wan, do you plan to participate?"
Qian Guosheng's eyes were burning like a torch. Although he was asking for Chen Wan's opinion, anyone could see what he was thinking.
Chen Wan raised her eyebrows, a costume design competition?Recalling the dozens of competitions he had participated in and the trophies he held in his hands, Chen Wan's calm expression became a little more energetic: "Of course I want to participate."
Qian Guosheng and the others were not surprised by Chen Wan's answer. Out of trust in Chen Wan, they didn't even think about the possibility of Chen Wan's failure. Youman Yushan restrained himself. As a designer who has also participated in such competitions, he is well aware of the difficulties involved.
"Here are the materials for the competition." Qian Guosheng took out a stack of documents, "The news was released not long ago, and the deadline for registration is May 24, so it should be in time, right?"
Chen Wan didn't give an answer blindly. He scanned the name of the competition on the header of the file to confirm that he hadn't heard of it, so he looked at Man Yushan, who was switching places with Wang Li'an, and stood beside him, "Brother Man, you know this game?"
Man Yushan shook his head, then pointed to the organizers under his head and said that he was very familiar with them, Hong Kong City Clothing Association, Country Y Clothing Association...
After listening to Man Yushan's analysis, Qian Guosheng added some content other than the information, such as referee candidates and possible competitors.Chen Wan was more and more eager to try, he took a deep breath: "It seems that it will be very lively at that time, I have to go to Hong Kong City in advance."
Selling Dongyan's clothing to the Hong Kong City involves high tariffs, so Chen Wan is targeting the wallets of the rich. It is not difficult to settle in the Hong Kong City, but the difficulty is how to get the rich to pay willingly.
At this moment, Chen Wan's limelight at the film festival came in handy. While Qian Guosheng was running up and down to submit materials, his cousin in Hong Kong City was also not idle. The popularity of "Spirit Designer" is maximized.
In order to cooperate with his cousin, Chen Wan quickly applied for customs clearance. He was politically clean and had the right reasons, and he quickly got the approval to pass.
Xu Kongshan silently helped him pack his luggage. A thin silk shirt felt like a heavy weight in his hands.
Sensing Xu Kongshan's reluctance, Chen Wan hugged him from behind and buried her head against the man's broad spine.
Xu Kongshan closed the suitcase, held Chen Wanhuan's hands on his waist and abdomen, and led him to him, saying a thousand words into one sentence: "Take good care of yourself."
"Yes." Chen Wan nodded, "I will."
Xu Kongshan took half a day off and sent Chen Wan to the station. Without accident, the two would have to be separated for at least four months.
This year’s spring came earlier than in previous years. Weeds struggled in the cracks of the stone slabs to produce vibrant green, swaying in the gorgeous and gentle warm sun. Even if they are stepped on by the hurried footsteps of pedestrians, they can stand up and become flexible after a short rest. the tip of the leaf.
Xu Kongshan was standing outside the track, and the tip of the weed brushed his ankles. Chen Wan suddenly raised his hand and gave Xu Kongshan a big heart.
When Chen Wan arrived in the port city alone, the drizzle fell on the umbrella surface, and the water droplets blurred his vision like a bead curtain.
No matter where he was, Chen Wan was always the most eye-catching in the crowd. He walked out of the gate carrying two suitcases, and a person who looked a little like Qian Guosheng greeted him.
"Hi Chen Wan, I'm Shen Mingsen, Qian Guosheng's cousin." Shen Mingsen introduced himself. He had seen Chen Wan's photos, and with Chen Wan's appearance, there was no possibility of admitting his mistake.
"Hello." Chen Wan stretched out her left hand, and the ring at the root of her ring finger was glowing with metallic silver.
Shen Mingsen raised his eyebrows in surprise, Chen Wan is married?Why didn't Qian Guosheng tell him?Surprised, it was Chen Wan's private matter. Shen Mingsen suppressed his doubts, took Chen Wan's suitcase and took him to the parking lot.
The outside rain was blocked by the windows of the Santana car. Contrary to the mainland, the traffic in Hong Kong City is driven on the left, and the driver's seat is on the right. Chen Wan lived abroad for a long time before, so he is no stranger to this.
The driver's license in the mainland cannot be used universally, and Chen Wan has no intention of taking the test again. Anyway, the taxi business in Hong Kong City is relatively developed, and it is convenient to take a taxi directly wherever you want to go.
Shen Mingsen's personality is similar to Qian Guosheng's, generous and talkative. He bluntly said that the Santana they were sitting on was bought by his family to show his support. Basic necessities of life in Hong Kong City. Tomorrow’s dinner has been arranged, do you want to rest first or meet my little sister first?”
"I'm not tired. Let's meet with Ms. Shen first. If there is something wrong with the dress, I can adjust it later." There are priorities, and it has been more than three months since the end of the film festival. Shen Mingsen's behavior of directly talking about work hits Chen Wan Pretend.
The Shen family has always kept a low profile in Hong Kong City, but this time the birthday party has changed from the normal way of sending out invitations. Outsiders only think that Shen Mingsen's younger sister is being favored, and only a few well-informed insiders have vaguely guessed the general idea.
Shen Mingsen will use the occasion of the birthday party to officially bring Chen Wan into the eyes of the wealthy people in Hong Kong City.
The banquet was held at the hotel where Chen Wan stayed. Shen Mingsen was thoughtful and booked a suite for Chen Wan and prepared a sewing machine for him to use at any time.
Shen's house is not far from the hotel, Chen Wan didn't bother to pack her luggage, she opened a smaller box, took out the dress and spread it out on the bed, checking for serious wrinkles and damage.
This dress is inspired by the mountain peach blossoms in spring. Although the pale pink dress does not have a large area of embroidery, the petal-like skirt and the hand-stitched peach blossoms embellish it show the creator's intentions.
At present, pink is rare, so Uncle Qian asked the workers in the printing and dyeing workshop to try it dozens of times before they achieved the delicate but dreamlike effect that Chen Wan wanted.The reason why Dongyan's time series is so popular is that it is different from the ordinary style design and novel color use.
"Brother, it's me." Someone knocked on the hotel door. The clear female voice was like a lark. Shen Mingsen opened the door and led a man and a woman into the living room.
The girl who is about to turn 20 is Shen Mingsen's younger sister, Shen Mingya, who looks smart and petite. He looked over Shen Mingsen and looked at Chen Wan curiously.
And the man behind her is Shen Mingsen's assistant for Chen Wan, also surnamed Shen, with a single name and one name, with a honest face and a very respectful attitude.
"Hello, Designer Chen." Shen Mingya's voice softened for a while. With Shen Mingsen's understanding of her, how could he not be clear about the girl's little thoughts.
"Miss Shen." Chen Wan responded politely, Shen Mingya's heart beat faster with a handsome smiling face, her cheeks involuntarily turned red.
The silver ring on her ring finger flashed past her sight, Shen Mingya was obviously taken aback, Hongxia retreated: "Is Designer Chen married?"
"Yes." When Chen Wan thought of Xu Kongshan, his facial expression softened instantly. In the eyes of Shen Mingya and the others, it was the expression of his deep relationship with his lover.
The sprout of Shen Mingya's heart withered in an instant, but she couldn't be called sad, and smiled again the next second: "This dress is so beautiful!"
Chen Wan picked up the Shantaohua dress and asked Shen Mingya to go to the bathroom to change it. The small V-neck design makes it easy to wear without the help of a second person. Shen Mingya fastened her waistband tightly, and twirled the skirt with both hands: "Does it look good?"
"It's pretty." Shen Mingsen nodded and praised without hesitation, "Light pink suits you very well."
Shen Mingya was overjoyed and said that she had never seen such a beautiful dress: "Thank you, Designer Chen."
There was nothing to modify about the dress, and someone else would be responsible for the hairstyle and jewelry accessories. Chen Wan made some suggestions, and Shen Mingya readily accepted them.
"Miss Shen, wait a moment." Fearing that Shen Mingya's recitation was not clear enough, Chen Wan quickly drew up a sketch for reference.
Chen Wan's meticulousness made Shen Mingya secretly think it's a pity, it's a pity that the famous flower has an owner, she came a step late, now seeing Chen Wan, her eyes are abruptly raised, and it will definitely be difficult to make up for it in the future.
In a blink of an eye, when the lights came on, Shen Mingsen invited Chen Wan to have a meal as the host. During the dinner, the host and guests had a great time, and finally told Shen Zhao to take good care of Chen Wan, and then drove Shen Mingya away.
For Shen Mingya's birthday, two events were held, one at the Shen family's mansion at noon, attended by relatives and friends of the Shen family, and the evening event was attended by the upper class of the Hong Kong city who accepted the invitation.Shen Mingya was unmarried, and Shen Mingsen and his elder brothers arrived at the hotel early to welcome guests. Chen Wan took advantage of the time to change her clothes, styled her hair with hairspray, and went downstairs to the banquet hall by herself.
Chen Wan yesterday fascinated Shen Mingya without tidying up deliberately. Today, after taking care of it with care, he is even more radiant. He came not too early or too late, Shen Mingsen raised his eyebrows, and took two quick steps: "I was just going up to find you."
Chen Wan handed her a birthday gift, but Shen Mingsen didn't accept it: "Mingya is on the second floor, I would like you to help her see her outfit tonight."
This meant that Chen Wan would hand over the congratulatory gift to Shen Mingya.
Chen Wan was noncommittal, and followed Shen Mingsen up to the second floor.Shen Mingya's long hair was braided behind her head, and the haircut was fluffy. The earrings on her earlobes were gently dangling. She was admiring the makeup on her face from left to right in front of the mirror. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Chen Wan, and immediately turned around: "Designer Chen .”
"Miss Shen." Chen Wan gave the birthday present, Shen Mingya took the brocade box with both hands, raised her face and asked Chen Wan if she could open it on the spot, she was eager to know what was inside.
With Chen Wan's consent, Shen Mingya tore off the bow on the brocade box and opened the lid, a platinum bracelet inlaid with diamonds came into view, which complemented the Shantaohua dress, Shen Mingya immediately put it on her wrist.
"Master Mingsen, sir, please go over with Mr. Chen." Shen Zhao whispered in Shen Mingsen's ear.
Chen Wan leaned against the big tree of the Shen family, and should have taken the initiative to visit the elders, but the timing was unlucky, and it was delayed until now. Hearing this, she calmly straightened her clothes and followed Shen Mingsen to the reception room.
Shen Mingsen's father is the current head of the Shen family. He has half-haired hair and a majestic face. When he saw Chen Wan, he curled his lips and spoke in a friendly tone, not as difficult to get along with as he appeared on the surface.
The clothing industry is a field that the Shen family has never set foot in. Shen Mingsen inevitably asked a lot of questions, and Chen Wan responded with ease.Dongyan's achievements are obvious to all. Even if he doesn't choose the Shen family, he still has a way to gain a foothold in Hong Kong City, it's just a matter of spending more effort, so facing Shen Mingsen's father, he doesn't appear weak at all.
After the conversation, seeing that it was almost time for Shen Mingya to appear on stage, Shen Mingsen and Chen Wan returned the same way.In the center of the hall, there is a spiral staircase connecting the second floor. The piano played, and Shen Mingya walked down slowly under the bright lights.
The scene was so quiet that a needle could be heard. After a short speech, there was thunderous applause. Shen Mingya stole the limelight and was surrounded by sisters as soon as she stepped off the stage.Shen Mingya talked to them a few words, looked up to where Chen Wan was, and waved to him. Chen Wan exchanged glances with Shen Mingsen and swam into the crowd like a fish in water.
Under the recommendation of Shen's family, Chen Wan successfully entered the field of vision of wealthy people in the Hong Kong city with this birthday party. Shen Mingsen spent money to hire entertainment newspapers to promote Chen Wan and Dong Yan.
After the birthday dinner, Shen Mingya also changed her regular clothes into Dongyan's new season's style, which can be said to support her brother's career wholeheartedly.Shen Mingsen enthusiastically entertained the future customers she introduced, and said with a smile that when the store opened, he would definitely give Shen Mingya a big red envelope.
"How old is it?" Shen Mingya held the little sister's arm, and the small pearl earrings on the earlobe were shining brightly. Obviously, they were very valuable. If Shen Mingsen's red envelope was too small, it might not be enough for her to go shopping for half a day.
Shen Mingsen silently calculated, and came to an embarrassing conclusion that his net worth seemed to be inferior to that of Shen Mingya.
But the words had already been uttered, and there was no way to take them back. Chen Wan opened her mouth to help Shen Mingsen: "Where is the red envelope enough? Dongyan will cover all Miss Shen's future clothes."
"Brother, look at how generous Chen Wan is!" Shen Mingya raised her chin towards Shen Mingsen, and changed her name from Designer Chen to Chen Wan familiarly, and said, Shen Mingya looked at the little sister, "How about it, you choose the one you like Is it in style?"
It was the beginning of April, and there was still plenty of time before the deadline for competition registration. While preparing for the entries, Chen Wan took time to pick up a few custom-made pieces. Shen Mingya's little sister frowned and couldn't make a choice. She liked every one of them, and couldn't choose at all. come out.
In the end, she listened to the joint opinions of Chen Wan and Shen Mingya, and decided on a second dress for the event.
Chen Wan also read the newspapers before she knew that the other party was a well-known singer in Hong Kong City. The photos she took in a dress were praised to a new level. This wave of cooperation between the two has achieved a win-win situation that exceeded expectations.
At that time, Chen Wan had already completed the registration for the competition. As Man Yushan expected, the competition was unprecedentedly grand. Designers from all over the world gathered in Hong Kong City to kick off the official competition.
Different from the form of sending works to the competition, this competition requires designers to go to the scene to create, which is similar to the mode of recruiting designers when Chen Wan first established the factory.
The organizer stipulated that the designer could bring an assistant, and Chen Wan brought Shen Zhao.Shen Mingsen was considerate. Before Chen Wan arrived in Hong Kong City, he specially arranged for Shen Zhao to work as an apprentice in a tailor shop for two months.Shen Zhaoyu's talent in clothing is mediocre, two months is not enough to transform him from a layman to a professional, but it is still possible to help Chen Wan.
After several rounds of selection, Chen Wan made it all the way to the final, competing for the ranking with the remaining nine designers.Among the ten, he was the only player from China. He had black hair and black eyes, and was of pure Asian descent. His outstanding performance in the early stage forced the competitors to put aside their original disdain and face up to the threat posed by Chen Wan.
The organizer equipped each contestant with a professional model. Chen Wan randomly selected a tall Caucasian girl with a few small freckles on her cheeks. There was nothing wrong with her figure and steps, but Chen Wan's eyes were not very friendly.
Chen Wan noticed the model's attitude and didn't take it seriously. As long as the model did her job well, he didn't care about the rest.
The day before the final is the final fitting session. The organizer has done a good job in protecting privacy. Up to now, except for myself and the fitting model, the contestants and judges have not seen the whole picture of other people's works.
"Mr. Chen, go and eat." Shen Zhao helped hang the clothes back on the rack, and urged Chen Wan, who had been busy all day, to rest and eat.
"Yeah." Chen Wan straightened his sleeves, there was no need to modify the clothes, and he just had to wait until tomorrow, "I'll come back after eating and change it for you."
It's no wonder that Chen Wan was on guard. It's because this match meant a lot to him. It's not like he's never seen a work being damaged before the match. Seeing that it's the last moment, he can't be careless.For this reason, Shen Zhao has set up a floor shop in the workshop in recent days. He can't help with other big things, so he can only take the initiative to take over the night watch job, so as to relieve Chen Wan's pressure.
It was meal time, and Chen Wan randomly found an empty table to sit down with all sorts of ambiguous gazes. The organizer was rich and powerful, and the restaurant's menu had all kinds of Chinese and Western food, which was almost comparable to that of a five-star hotel.
Chen Wan ordered a simple meal, a bowl of white rice paired with a small cup of chicken soup and two plates of stir-fry, one meat and one vegetable. The knives at the neighboring table made clinking sounds on the porcelain plate, and the medium-rare steak overflowed with scarlet The man with blond curly hair put the beef in his mouth and chewed it, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Wan.
If the burning gaze had substance, Chen Wan would not be affected at all, even if the man was the favorite to win the competition.
Chen Wan emptied the rice in the bowl, stood up and looked at the man for two seconds, then turned around and left neatly.The man was hostile towards him, Chen Wan raised her hand to hold the beating right eyelid, always feeling that there would be an accident in tomorrow's final.
In the early morning of the next day, the temperature in the summer city of Hong Kong was gradually rising. Reporters wearing short sleeves arrived at the venue early and waited to grab a favorable spot for taking pictures.At ten o'clock in the morning, the guests who were dressed up to compete with each other entered the venue one after another with their certificates.
Celebrities, singers, actors... Under the flashing lights, they were all regulars of Hong Kong City Entertainment News.
Shen Mingsen asked someone to get two tickets, and brought Shen Mingya to join in the fun. Looking at the grand occasion outside, Shen Mingya was full of surprise: "This is too exaggerated."
Apart from being surprised, Shen Mingya was still puzzled, how could a design competition invite so many celebrities?
Shen Mingya was pure-minded and couldn't guess the meaning behind it, but Shen Mingsen was not. He remembered the inside story he had just found out, and his expression became more worried.
In the backstage of the venue, the originally spacious space was squeezed to the brim, the voices were noisy, and it was a busy scene as far as the eye could see.As the stage approached, the works of various designers also unveiled the mysterious veil.
Although there are inside stories, those who can enter this link are not ordinary people, and the clothes on each model have their own uniqueness.Familiar designers gathered in one place in twos and threes, their gazes seemed to be facing the same direction.
With less than 10 minutes left to go on stage, Chen Wan's model has been missing for a long time, and the long dress that should have been properly worn hangs alone on the hanger, becoming the focus of the audience.
"Mr. Chen, what should we do now?" Rao was as calm as Shen Zhao, but he couldn't help becoming flustered. He contacted the staff when the model didn't arrive on time, and the other party immediately replied that someone would look for it. After two hours, Shen Zhao reminded him countless times, but he still didn't see him.
Until just now, the person in charge came over and sincerely apologized, saying that it was their work mistakes, etc. When Chen Wan asked about the remedy, he spread his hands and said that there was no spare model...
In this way, how could Chen Wan fail to see what he meant? It was obvious that any model who suffered a sudden illness and was unable to play, or made a mistake at work, was all a conspiracy against him. Who made him too capable to block the way of others? Woolen cloth?
Chen Wan already had an answer in his mind about who was involved behind the scenes, but the top priority now was to complete the competition, and he would settle the account slowly later!
"Take the clothes, let's go." With a hook of Chen Wan's finger, a piece of lipstick quietly fell into his palm. No one noticed his little gesture. It was only when he gave up the model and switched to the mannequin, otherwise he would not be able to change his job People come out, besides, time is too late.
Shen Zhao's thinking was consistent with the public's. No matter what the result was, losing face was inevitable. He gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could put those people in sacks and beat them up.
"You are guarding outside." Chen Wan didn't explain too much, and asked Shen Zhao to put down her long skirt and close the door.
Shen Zhao didn't understand what Chen Wan was going to do, so he stood at the door in a daze, paying attention to the movement around him, while thinking about how to get justice for Chen Wan.
In the empty room, Chen Wan bent down to take off his shoes, and then took off his clothes. His slender figure was reflected in the fitting mirror.
If there is no model, he will do it by himself, if he really can trap him, if he wants to make a fool of him, he will not make them happy.
Chen Wan's height is similar to that of the female model, so there is no need to adjust the length of the skirt, but due to the innate differences between men and women, his measurement data is slightly different from that of the female model. Fortunately, the long skirt itself has a tie design, and the slight difference can be ignored .
"Shen Zhao." Chen Wan couldn't operate the tie on his back alone, so he raised his voice to call Shen Zhao into the room, turned his back and pulled the two tie with his hands, "Please tie a bow for me."
Shen Zhao hadn't recovered from the shock that Chen Wan brought him, he stared at Chen Wan's back in dumbfounded, his whole body froze like a log, as if his three views had been greatly impacted.
Although Chen Wan's handsome appearance and orchid and bamboo-like temperament are not contrary to wearing a long skirt, but he is a man after all, Shen Zhao's reaction is really normal.
"Shen Zhao." Chen Wan raised her voice, her tone was a little eager, and let Shen Zhao regain her sanity, "Hurry up, we don't have much time."
"Oh... good!" Shen Zhao trembled, took the tie in Chen Wan's hand in a hurry, tightened it with breath, tied a bow on Chen Wan's back, and adjusted it to make the two sides symmetrical.
Chen Wan didn't have the time to pay attention to Shen Zhao's expression. He turned his head sideways and looked at his back in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Shen Zhao finally adjusted his mentality, and when he looked up, the picture of Chen Wan twisting the red tube and applying it evenly on his lips fell into his eyes again.
Chen Wan pursed her lips, and wiped off the lipstick that crossed the boundary with a towel.
It was too red, Chen Wan frowned in dissatisfaction, and removed another layer. His original lip color was light, with a little red dotted on it, showing the light Xiangfei color that matched the long skirt.
Chen Wan's hair is not strong. After shaving in the morning, even if he gets close, there is only a little bit of light-colored stubble. After restoring the social distance, there is no trace of it.
His skin is naturally fair, and his lips are beautiful. Even without makeup, he is still breathtakingly beautiful with lipstick.Chen Wan took off the hair tie. He had his hair cut a year ago, and he hasn't touched it since. Now it has grown beyond his collarbone. Because he tied it up for a long time, the end of his hair curled naturally, adding a bit of femininity to him.
Without needing extra accessories, Chen Wan grabbed the leftover yarn material from the long dress on the table, twisted it around and tied it behind her head.The fluffy yarn covers the eyebrows and eyes, and the vision is hazy for a moment, as if you are highly myopic. You can't see details clearly but it doesn't affect your walking.
Chen Wan had no experience in wearing high heels, and the size of the shoes didn't fit, so he simply went barefoot, and the hem of his skirt barely covered his toes.Taking a long breath, Chen Wan calmed down: "Let's go."
Shen Zhao was amazed by Chen Wan's calmness in the face of danger, he trotted two steps to open the way ahead, Chen Wan didn't wear shoes, so he had to keep an eye on the ground carefully to prevent Chen Wan from being injured.Imagining the reactions of the rest of the people later, Shen Zhao had a vague expectation in his heart.
The whole process of changing costumes was said to be long or not. When the two returned, it just started. The order of playing was decided by lottery, and Chen Wan was ranked third.
"Didn't it mean that the model would never come?" Seeing the model wearing a long skirt standing in the line, Origi couldn't help swearing. After realizing his gaffe, he clenched his hands as hard as he could to stabilize himself. mind.
Oliqi never thought that he would meet Chen Wan in Hong Kong City. Ever since he lost to Chen Wan in Beijing a few years ago, his reputation was almost ruined.If it weren't for Huaguo's cake being so attractive that it was hard to let go of it, Oric would have been in a slump. In order to make a comeback, he kept looking for opportunities and did everything possible to talk to a wealthy and powerful figure in his country.
Under Olic's advice and suggestions, this seemingly fair game was born.Auriqi is well aware of how much money he has. Regardless of the huge publicity of the port city, the organizer is still holding the banner of the Country Y Garment Association. In fact, there is no such competition in Country Y. The so-called The "well-known designers from all over the world" are nothing more than a plea for money.
If there is no accident, Olic and his two companions will take the top three in this game, and then they will start a clothing company in Hong Kong City and gradually penetrate the mainland.
Of course, the capitalists in Hong Kong City are not vegetarians. In order to prevent the "fake competition" from being exposed, they did not restrict the registration of local fashion designers, and invited referees seriously. Otherwise, Auriqi would not have allowed Chen Wan to enter the final.
Oric wanted to secretly send someone to destroy Chen Wan's works, but Chen Wan was so cautious that his people would return without success, so he had to start with models instead.The upper body display accounted for [-]% of the score, he did not believe that Chen Wan could win the championship without models.
It's funny to say that Olic has secured the No.3 third place in the championship, second and third places, and in his subconscious mind, he has already tacitly accepted Chen Wan's ability to surpass everyone in the field.
Faced with Oric's worries, his two companions were puzzled at first, thinking that his worries were unfounded. What kind of designers can Huaguo cultivate?Right now, they are caught in the same impatience as Oric.
If Chen Wan takes the first place, everything they have done will be in vain.
Under the almost desperate eyes of the three of Oric, Chen Wan walked out of the backstage.
The runway was in a circular shape, entering from the left, and the judges were in front, staying in the middle for 1 minute, and then leaving from the right. The invited guests gathered around the runway, with three rows in front and back, enough for them to appreciate the entire catwalk process from all angles.
In the later generations, it is very common to hold design competitions in the form of gaudy catwalks, but for people in Hong Kong City in the 80s, everything in front of them is full of novelty.
Chen Wan, who was not wearing high heels, was half shorter, but he couldn't stand his small head and face, and his body proportions were excellent. Without the blessing of high heels, he still wore a long skirt with an amazing effect.
It was the first time for Chen Wan to appear on the runway as a model. He couldn't get out of the swaying steps of the female models. He walked with the unhurried pace of a designer's curtain call. His back was straight and he was calm and indifferent.
The hem of the skirt wiped the floor, and occasionally exposed the toes. No one cared whether the model walked beautifully, the long skirt on him was eye-catching enough.
The extremely light and fluffy tulle is layered on top of each other, and any slight movement can bring about the swing of the tender petals on the tip of the mountain breeze, or the sea surface under the setting sun, tumbling foam-like waves, just right sporadic sequins create a dark night The starry sky is like a sweet dream lingering in my heart and tongue.
Chen Wan stood still at the front of the runway, silently counting the time of stay, and turned around after 30 seconds, the butterfly bone supported by the bow was about to fly.
So beautiful.
Can't help but blurted out praise, countless people imagined how stunning they would be wearing this long dress, and before the competition was half over, they couldn't wait for the end.
Shen Mingsen and Shen Mingya were sitting in the front row on the right. They watched Chen Wan's back disappearing into the corner behind the runway with reluctance. Shen Mingya's cheeks were flushed with excitement. She observed the fascination on the faces of the guests with great satisfaction. Sorry, this skirt is hers now.
With Chen Wan's jewels in front, the subsequent appearances of several models failed to arouse the interest of the guests. The judges carefully scored the scores out of professionalism, but they voted for the championship in unison in their hearts. designer.
Shen Zhao waited nervously at the exit of the runway, and when Chen Wan stepped off the stage, he immediately protected him and went straight to the changing room, catching Oric and others by surprise.
Chen Wan relaxed his tense nerves. The last part of the final was to show the designer's ideas. There was no need for him to pretend to be a model. The long skirts he replaced were put back on the mannequin, and the staff moved them out.
The catwalk session came to an end, and the concept was displayed 10 minutes later. Up to now, Auriqi couldn't guess the relationship between Chen Wan and the model, and he punched the air angrily.
The overall situation is settled, Chen
Following the personal loan, Chen Wan borrowed another 200 million in the name of the garment factory. After reading the financial statements of the garment factory, the bank approved it very happily.
Chen Wan asked the accountant to distribute a year-end bonus to all the workers in the factory, ranging from ten or eight yuan to several hundred. It all depended on personal performance, which in a daze raised the already extremely high efficiency of the workers. cut.
The two factories were close to each other, and Du Tenglong had also heard about Chen Wan's actions. He thought for a while and called Xu Kongshan, hoping to use Xu Kongshan's mouth to find out more specific things.
Du Tenglong has always been good at innovation. Giving bonuses to employees obviously increases the cost of the factory, but as the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep, and the enthusiasm of the workers is high. It is obviously a win-win situation.
However, the more specific Xu Kongshan is also not very clear: "How about I go back and ask for you?"
"Okay, you can ask for me." Du Tenglong was not in a hurry, he might not be able to do it in a while, so take his time.
This was not a secret that could not be revealed, and Chen Wan simply asked Xu Kongshan to find Du Tenglong to make an appointment for a suitable time for an interview.
As a latecomer, Chen Wan is more aware of the disadvantages of today's booming state-owned factories than Du Tenglong, an authority figure. Outdated equipment, single products, lax management, etc., led to the bankruptcy of a large number of state-owned factories in the 90s under the impact of foreign capital, setting off a vigorous the wave of laid-off workers.
Although the pharmaceutical factory has developed well under Du Tenglong's leadership, in Chen Wan's view, there are still many areas for improvement.
In addition, Chen Wan had some selfish intentions, if Du Tenglong adopted his suggestion, Xu Kongshan would also be the beneficiary.There is no way, the salary that the pharmaceutical factory gave Xu Kongshan was really a little less, and any small leader from the clothing factory would be better than him.
Chen Wan just said that how to implement it is Du Tenglong's business. He believes that since Du Tenglong has listened to it, he will take action.
Soon after the New Year's Eve, Chen's restaurant was closed, and Chen Qianjin took his family back to Ping'an Village.
No one has lived in it for a long time, so it is inevitable that there will be a layer of dust in the house, so those who sweep the floor sweep the floor, and those who wipe the table wipe the table. They are busy until it gets dark, and finally tidy up.
Because of Xu Kongshan's short vacation, he and Chen Wan returned on the evening of the 29th of the new year. They stayed until the afternoon of the third day of the junior high, and then returned to the city with a carload of local products.
On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Xu Kongshan went to work as usual. When Chen Wan woke up, the bed next to him was already completely cold, and the sweet potato porridge in the kitchen was steaming. It was obvious at a glance that it was Xu Kongshan's handicraft.
After breakfast, Chen Wan went to the garment factory and brought some sausages made by Zhou Mei to Man Yushan, who took the initiative to stay behind.
Hearing the knock on the door, Man Yushan put down his pen and opened the office door: "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Entering the office, Chen Wan handed over the sausage in his hand, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the colored line draft on the desktop, "Did you draw the design?"
"Yes." Man Yushan generously handed the design drawings to Chen Wan. During the Chinese New Year period, there was nothing to do in the factory, so he had a rare leisure time, so he resumed his old business on a whim.
Being able to become the marketing director of Luwei Company, Man Yushan's design level is of course not low, and the gorgeous feeling that comes to his face makes people feel as if he is in a banquet hall with bright lights in the upper class, which is extremely extravagant.
"It's beautiful." Chen Wan put down the design draft with admiration, "When will I start making it, and I will find two people to assist you?"
"No need to bother." Man Yushan pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "I can't hold a needle, so let's just enjoy painting."
Can't get the needle?Chen Wan's breath was stagnant, and she stared closely at Man Yushan's right hand, but there was no obvious scar on it: "What's going on?"
"I accidentally broke it when I was released. After I connected it, I didn't know why the needle shook violently." The needle in Man Yushan's mouth does not refer to all tools for making clothes. It is a heart disease, and there is no cure for it. Changed the subject, "Are you going to continue recruiting designers this year?"
"I'm sorry." Chen Wan never thought of bringing up Man Yushan's sad past, and the relaxed atmosphere just now no longer exists. "Take it easy for now, and wait for Guosheng to come back from Hong Kong City."
"It's okay." Man Yushan pulled out from the painful memories, sat down at the desk with Chen Wan, and talked about work without distraction.
Qian Guosheng took the opportunity of visiting relatives to go to Hong Kong City to play the front line. He and Chen Wan's focus is on the garment factory, and they need to find another suitable agent in Hong Kong City. The only one with ties to Hong Kong City.
The Shen family has a solid foundation in Hong Kong City, and although their influence is not one of the best, they still have a small status. With the background of the Shen family, Qian Guosheng should be able to bring them good news.
Chen Wan waited until the end of the first lunar month. It wasn't that Qian Guosheng was not going well, but that his grandmother was seriously ill and was stuck.
As a bustling city in line with international standards, people in Hong Kong City are far more passionate about fashion than those in the mainland.For those who love fashion in the Mainland, owning a "new style popular in Hong Kong City" is a capital worth showing off. However, with the sudden emergence of Chen Wan, the situation has changed quietly. Apparel came from behind and became the new leader.
Chen Wan wanted to take advantage of the film festival to enter the Hong Kong market, but he didn't know that Dongyan's reputation had already spread from the neighboring Guangzhou to Hong Kong. Qian Guosheng's trip to Hong Kong was beyond imagination.
The agent Qian Guosheng was looking for was his cousin, who used to do foreign trade. Hearing Qian Guosheng mention Dongyan's plan, the two hit it off. Once you've found it, you can say that everything is ready and only owes the east wind.
"Nice job!" Wang Li'an patted Qian Guosheng's shoulder with his palm, his expression of excitement visible to the naked eye.
Qian Guosheng was staggered by his slap, and took a deep breath, baring his teeth: "It's a good thing you took the picture of me. If Chen Wan got slapped by you, his brother Shan would fight for you."
It is well known that Chen Wan and Xu Kongshan have a good relationship. Even though he knew that Qian Guosheng was joking, Chen Wan couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He cleared his throat to cover up his leaked emotions: "Guosheng has worked hard, you have two days off. , We will start preparing materials on Wednesday."
"Don't worry, it's on me." Qian Guosheng made an OK gesture, "By the way, there is a fashion design competition in Hong Kong City in June, Chen Wan, do you plan to participate?"
Qian Guosheng's eyes were burning like a torch. Although he was asking for Chen Wan's opinion, anyone could see what he was thinking.
Chen Wan raised her eyebrows, a costume design competition?Recalling the dozens of competitions he had participated in and the trophies he held in his hands, Chen Wan's calm expression became a little more energetic: "Of course I want to participate."
Qian Guosheng and the others were not surprised by Chen Wan's answer. Out of trust in Chen Wan, they didn't even think about the possibility of Chen Wan's failure. Youman Yushan restrained himself. As a designer who has also participated in such competitions, he is well aware of the difficulties involved.
"Here are the materials for the competition." Qian Guosheng took out a stack of documents, "The news was released not long ago, and the deadline for registration is May 24, so it should be in time, right?"
Chen Wan didn't give an answer blindly. He scanned the name of the competition on the header of the file to confirm that he hadn't heard of it, so he looked at Man Yushan, who was switching places with Wang Li'an, and stood beside him, "Brother Man, you know this game?"
Man Yushan shook his head, then pointed to the organizers under his head and said that he was very familiar with them, Hong Kong City Clothing Association, Country Y Clothing Association...
After listening to Man Yushan's analysis, Qian Guosheng added some content other than the information, such as referee candidates and possible competitors.Chen Wan was more and more eager to try, he took a deep breath: "It seems that it will be very lively at that time, I have to go to Hong Kong City in advance."
Selling Dongyan's clothing to the Hong Kong City involves high tariffs, so Chen Wan is targeting the wallets of the rich. It is not difficult to settle in the Hong Kong City, but the difficulty is how to get the rich to pay willingly.
At this moment, Chen Wan's limelight at the film festival came in handy. While Qian Guosheng was running up and down to submit materials, his cousin in Hong Kong City was also not idle. The popularity of "Spirit Designer" is maximized.
In order to cooperate with his cousin, Chen Wan quickly applied for customs clearance. He was politically clean and had the right reasons, and he quickly got the approval to pass.
Xu Kongshan silently helped him pack his luggage. A thin silk shirt felt like a heavy weight in his hands.
Sensing Xu Kongshan's reluctance, Chen Wan hugged him from behind and buried her head against the man's broad spine.
Xu Kongshan closed the suitcase, held Chen Wanhuan's hands on his waist and abdomen, and led him to him, saying a thousand words into one sentence: "Take good care of yourself."
"Yes." Chen Wan nodded, "I will."
Xu Kongshan took half a day off and sent Chen Wan to the station. Without accident, the two would have to be separated for at least four months.
This year’s spring came earlier than in previous years. Weeds struggled in the cracks of the stone slabs to produce vibrant green, swaying in the gorgeous and gentle warm sun. Even if they are stepped on by the hurried footsteps of pedestrians, they can stand up and become flexible after a short rest. the tip of the leaf.
Xu Kongshan was standing outside the track, and the tip of the weed brushed his ankles. Chen Wan suddenly raised his hand and gave Xu Kongshan a big heart.
When Chen Wan arrived in the port city alone, the drizzle fell on the umbrella surface, and the water droplets blurred his vision like a bead curtain.
No matter where he was, Chen Wan was always the most eye-catching in the crowd. He walked out of the gate carrying two suitcases, and a person who looked a little like Qian Guosheng greeted him.
"Hi Chen Wan, I'm Shen Mingsen, Qian Guosheng's cousin." Shen Mingsen introduced himself. He had seen Chen Wan's photos, and with Chen Wan's appearance, there was no possibility of admitting his mistake.
"Hello." Chen Wan stretched out her left hand, and the ring at the root of her ring finger was glowing with metallic silver.
Shen Mingsen raised his eyebrows in surprise, Chen Wan is married?Why didn't Qian Guosheng tell him?Surprised, it was Chen Wan's private matter. Shen Mingsen suppressed his doubts, took Chen Wan's suitcase and took him to the parking lot.
The outside rain was blocked by the windows of the Santana car. Contrary to the mainland, the traffic in Hong Kong City is driven on the left, and the driver's seat is on the right. Chen Wan lived abroad for a long time before, so he is no stranger to this.
The driver's license in the mainland cannot be used universally, and Chen Wan has no intention of taking the test again. Anyway, the taxi business in Hong Kong City is relatively developed, and it is convenient to take a taxi directly wherever you want to go.
Shen Mingsen's personality is similar to Qian Guosheng's, generous and talkative. He bluntly said that the Santana they were sitting on was bought by his family to show his support. Basic necessities of life in Hong Kong City. Tomorrow’s dinner has been arranged, do you want to rest first or meet my little sister first?”
"I'm not tired. Let's meet with Ms. Shen first. If there is something wrong with the dress, I can adjust it later." There are priorities, and it has been more than three months since the end of the film festival. Shen Mingsen's behavior of directly talking about work hits Chen Wan Pretend.
The Shen family has always kept a low profile in Hong Kong City, but this time the birthday party has changed from the normal way of sending out invitations. Outsiders only think that Shen Mingsen's younger sister is being favored, and only a few well-informed insiders have vaguely guessed the general idea.
Shen Mingsen will use the occasion of the birthday party to officially bring Chen Wan into the eyes of the wealthy people in Hong Kong City.
The banquet was held at the hotel where Chen Wan stayed. Shen Mingsen was thoughtful and booked a suite for Chen Wan and prepared a sewing machine for him to use at any time.
Shen's house is not far from the hotel, Chen Wan didn't bother to pack her luggage, she opened a smaller box, took out the dress and spread it out on the bed, checking for serious wrinkles and damage.
This dress is inspired by the mountain peach blossoms in spring. Although the pale pink dress does not have a large area of embroidery, the petal-like skirt and the hand-stitched peach blossoms embellish it show the creator's intentions.
At present, pink is rare, so Uncle Qian asked the workers in the printing and dyeing workshop to try it dozens of times before they achieved the delicate but dreamlike effect that Chen Wan wanted.The reason why Dongyan's time series is so popular is that it is different from the ordinary style design and novel color use.
"Brother, it's me." Someone knocked on the hotel door. The clear female voice was like a lark. Shen Mingsen opened the door and led a man and a woman into the living room.
The girl who is about to turn 20 is Shen Mingsen's younger sister, Shen Mingya, who looks smart and petite. He looked over Shen Mingsen and looked at Chen Wan curiously.
And the man behind her is Shen Mingsen's assistant for Chen Wan, also surnamed Shen, with a single name and one name, with a honest face and a very respectful attitude.
"Hello, Designer Chen." Shen Mingya's voice softened for a while. With Shen Mingsen's understanding of her, how could he not be clear about the girl's little thoughts.
"Miss Shen." Chen Wan responded politely, Shen Mingya's heart beat faster with a handsome smiling face, her cheeks involuntarily turned red.
The silver ring on her ring finger flashed past her sight, Shen Mingya was obviously taken aback, Hongxia retreated: "Is Designer Chen married?"
"Yes." When Chen Wan thought of Xu Kongshan, his facial expression softened instantly. In the eyes of Shen Mingya and the others, it was the expression of his deep relationship with his lover.
The sprout of Shen Mingya's heart withered in an instant, but she couldn't be called sad, and smiled again the next second: "This dress is so beautiful!"
Chen Wan picked up the Shantaohua dress and asked Shen Mingya to go to the bathroom to change it. The small V-neck design makes it easy to wear without the help of a second person. Shen Mingya fastened her waistband tightly, and twirled the skirt with both hands: "Does it look good?"
"It's pretty." Shen Mingsen nodded and praised without hesitation, "Light pink suits you very well."
Shen Mingya was overjoyed and said that she had never seen such a beautiful dress: "Thank you, Designer Chen."
There was nothing to modify about the dress, and someone else would be responsible for the hairstyle and jewelry accessories. Chen Wan made some suggestions, and Shen Mingya readily accepted them.
"Miss Shen, wait a moment." Fearing that Shen Mingya's recitation was not clear enough, Chen Wan quickly drew up a sketch for reference.
Chen Wan's meticulousness made Shen Mingya secretly think it's a pity, it's a pity that the famous flower has an owner, she came a step late, now seeing Chen Wan, her eyes are abruptly raised, and it will definitely be difficult to make up for it in the future.
In a blink of an eye, when the lights came on, Shen Mingsen invited Chen Wan to have a meal as the host. During the dinner, the host and guests had a great time, and finally told Shen Zhao to take good care of Chen Wan, and then drove Shen Mingya away.
For Shen Mingya's birthday, two events were held, one at the Shen family's mansion at noon, attended by relatives and friends of the Shen family, and the evening event was attended by the upper class of the Hong Kong city who accepted the invitation.Shen Mingya was unmarried, and Shen Mingsen and his elder brothers arrived at the hotel early to welcome guests. Chen Wan took advantage of the time to change her clothes, styled her hair with hairspray, and went downstairs to the banquet hall by herself.
Chen Wan yesterday fascinated Shen Mingya without tidying up deliberately. Today, after taking care of it with care, he is even more radiant. He came not too early or too late, Shen Mingsen raised his eyebrows, and took two quick steps: "I was just going up to find you."
Chen Wan handed her a birthday gift, but Shen Mingsen didn't accept it: "Mingya is on the second floor, I would like you to help her see her outfit tonight."
This meant that Chen Wan would hand over the congratulatory gift to Shen Mingya.
Chen Wan was noncommittal, and followed Shen Mingsen up to the second floor.Shen Mingya's long hair was braided behind her head, and the haircut was fluffy. The earrings on her earlobes were gently dangling. She was admiring the makeup on her face from left to right in front of the mirror. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Chen Wan, and immediately turned around: "Designer Chen .”
"Miss Shen." Chen Wan gave the birthday present, Shen Mingya took the brocade box with both hands, raised her face and asked Chen Wan if she could open it on the spot, she was eager to know what was inside.
With Chen Wan's consent, Shen Mingya tore off the bow on the brocade box and opened the lid, a platinum bracelet inlaid with diamonds came into view, which complemented the Shantaohua dress, Shen Mingya immediately put it on her wrist.
"Master Mingsen, sir, please go over with Mr. Chen." Shen Zhao whispered in Shen Mingsen's ear.
Chen Wan leaned against the big tree of the Shen family, and should have taken the initiative to visit the elders, but the timing was unlucky, and it was delayed until now. Hearing this, she calmly straightened her clothes and followed Shen Mingsen to the reception room.
Shen Mingsen's father is the current head of the Shen family. He has half-haired hair and a majestic face. When he saw Chen Wan, he curled his lips and spoke in a friendly tone, not as difficult to get along with as he appeared on the surface.
The clothing industry is a field that the Shen family has never set foot in. Shen Mingsen inevitably asked a lot of questions, and Chen Wan responded with ease.Dongyan's achievements are obvious to all. Even if he doesn't choose the Shen family, he still has a way to gain a foothold in Hong Kong City, it's just a matter of spending more effort, so facing Shen Mingsen's father, he doesn't appear weak at all.
After the conversation, seeing that it was almost time for Shen Mingya to appear on stage, Shen Mingsen and Chen Wan returned the same way.In the center of the hall, there is a spiral staircase connecting the second floor. The piano played, and Shen Mingya walked down slowly under the bright lights.
The scene was so quiet that a needle could be heard. After a short speech, there was thunderous applause. Shen Mingya stole the limelight and was surrounded by sisters as soon as she stepped off the stage.Shen Mingya talked to them a few words, looked up to where Chen Wan was, and waved to him. Chen Wan exchanged glances with Shen Mingsen and swam into the crowd like a fish in water.
Under the recommendation of Shen's family, Chen Wan successfully entered the field of vision of wealthy people in the Hong Kong city with this birthday party. Shen Mingsen spent money to hire entertainment newspapers to promote Chen Wan and Dong Yan.
After the birthday dinner, Shen Mingya also changed her regular clothes into Dongyan's new season's style, which can be said to support her brother's career wholeheartedly.Shen Mingsen enthusiastically entertained the future customers she introduced, and said with a smile that when the store opened, he would definitely give Shen Mingya a big red envelope.
"How old is it?" Shen Mingya held the little sister's arm, and the small pearl earrings on the earlobe were shining brightly. Obviously, they were very valuable. If Shen Mingsen's red envelope was too small, it might not be enough for her to go shopping for half a day.
Shen Mingsen silently calculated, and came to an embarrassing conclusion that his net worth seemed to be inferior to that of Shen Mingya.
But the words had already been uttered, and there was no way to take them back. Chen Wan opened her mouth to help Shen Mingsen: "Where is the red envelope enough? Dongyan will cover all Miss Shen's future clothes."
"Brother, look at how generous Chen Wan is!" Shen Mingya raised her chin towards Shen Mingsen, and changed her name from Designer Chen to Chen Wan familiarly, and said, Shen Mingya looked at the little sister, "How about it, you choose the one you like Is it in style?"
It was the beginning of April, and there was still plenty of time before the deadline for competition registration. While preparing for the entries, Chen Wan took time to pick up a few custom-made pieces. Shen Mingya's little sister frowned and couldn't make a choice. She liked every one of them, and couldn't choose at all. come out.
In the end, she listened to the joint opinions of Chen Wan and Shen Mingya, and decided on a second dress for the event.
Chen Wan also read the newspapers before she knew that the other party was a well-known singer in Hong Kong City. The photos she took in a dress were praised to a new level. This wave of cooperation between the two has achieved a win-win situation that exceeded expectations.
At that time, Chen Wan had already completed the registration for the competition. As Man Yushan expected, the competition was unprecedentedly grand. Designers from all over the world gathered in Hong Kong City to kick off the official competition.
Different from the form of sending works to the competition, this competition requires designers to go to the scene to create, which is similar to the mode of recruiting designers when Chen Wan first established the factory.
The organizer stipulated that the designer could bring an assistant, and Chen Wan brought Shen Zhao.Shen Mingsen was considerate. Before Chen Wan arrived in Hong Kong City, he specially arranged for Shen Zhao to work as an apprentice in a tailor shop for two months.Shen Zhaoyu's talent in clothing is mediocre, two months is not enough to transform him from a layman to a professional, but it is still possible to help Chen Wan.
After several rounds of selection, Chen Wan made it all the way to the final, competing for the ranking with the remaining nine designers.Among the ten, he was the only player from China. He had black hair and black eyes, and was of pure Asian descent. His outstanding performance in the early stage forced the competitors to put aside their original disdain and face up to the threat posed by Chen Wan.
The organizer equipped each contestant with a professional model. Chen Wan randomly selected a tall Caucasian girl with a few small freckles on her cheeks. There was nothing wrong with her figure and steps, but Chen Wan's eyes were not very friendly.
Chen Wan noticed the model's attitude and didn't take it seriously. As long as the model did her job well, he didn't care about the rest.
The day before the final is the final fitting session. The organizer has done a good job in protecting privacy. Up to now, except for myself and the fitting model, the contestants and judges have not seen the whole picture of other people's works.
"Mr. Chen, go and eat." Shen Zhao helped hang the clothes back on the rack, and urged Chen Wan, who had been busy all day, to rest and eat.
"Yeah." Chen Wan straightened his sleeves, there was no need to modify the clothes, and he just had to wait until tomorrow, "I'll come back after eating and change it for you."
It's no wonder that Chen Wan was on guard. It's because this match meant a lot to him. It's not like he's never seen a work being damaged before the match. Seeing that it's the last moment, he can't be careless.For this reason, Shen Zhao has set up a floor shop in the workshop in recent days. He can't help with other big things, so he can only take the initiative to take over the night watch job, so as to relieve Chen Wan's pressure.
It was meal time, and Chen Wan randomly found an empty table to sit down with all sorts of ambiguous gazes. The organizer was rich and powerful, and the restaurant's menu had all kinds of Chinese and Western food, which was almost comparable to that of a five-star hotel.
Chen Wan ordered a simple meal, a bowl of white rice paired with a small cup of chicken soup and two plates of stir-fry, one meat and one vegetable. The knives at the neighboring table made clinking sounds on the porcelain plate, and the medium-rare steak overflowed with scarlet The man with blond curly hair put the beef in his mouth and chewed it, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Wan.
If the burning gaze had substance, Chen Wan would not be affected at all, even if the man was the favorite to win the competition.
Chen Wan emptied the rice in the bowl, stood up and looked at the man for two seconds, then turned around and left neatly.The man was hostile towards him, Chen Wan raised her hand to hold the beating right eyelid, always feeling that there would be an accident in tomorrow's final.
In the early morning of the next day, the temperature in the summer city of Hong Kong was gradually rising. Reporters wearing short sleeves arrived at the venue early and waited to grab a favorable spot for taking pictures.At ten o'clock in the morning, the guests who were dressed up to compete with each other entered the venue one after another with their certificates.
Celebrities, singers, actors... Under the flashing lights, they were all regulars of Hong Kong City Entertainment News.
Shen Mingsen asked someone to get two tickets, and brought Shen Mingya to join in the fun. Looking at the grand occasion outside, Shen Mingya was full of surprise: "This is too exaggerated."
Apart from being surprised, Shen Mingya was still puzzled, how could a design competition invite so many celebrities?
Shen Mingya was pure-minded and couldn't guess the meaning behind it, but Shen Mingsen was not. He remembered the inside story he had just found out, and his expression became more worried.
In the backstage of the venue, the originally spacious space was squeezed to the brim, the voices were noisy, and it was a busy scene as far as the eye could see.As the stage approached, the works of various designers also unveiled the mysterious veil.
Although there are inside stories, those who can enter this link are not ordinary people, and the clothes on each model have their own uniqueness.Familiar designers gathered in one place in twos and threes, their gazes seemed to be facing the same direction.
With less than 10 minutes left to go on stage, Chen Wan's model has been missing for a long time, and the long dress that should have been properly worn hangs alone on the hanger, becoming the focus of the audience.
"Mr. Chen, what should we do now?" Rao was as calm as Shen Zhao, but he couldn't help becoming flustered. He contacted the staff when the model didn't arrive on time, and the other party immediately replied that someone would look for it. After two hours, Shen Zhao reminded him countless times, but he still didn't see him.
Until just now, the person in charge came over and sincerely apologized, saying that it was their work mistakes, etc. When Chen Wan asked about the remedy, he spread his hands and said that there was no spare model...
In this way, how could Chen Wan fail to see what he meant? It was obvious that any model who suffered a sudden illness and was unable to play, or made a mistake at work, was all a conspiracy against him. Who made him too capable to block the way of others? Woolen cloth?
Chen Wan already had an answer in his mind about who was involved behind the scenes, but the top priority now was to complete the competition, and he would settle the account slowly later!
"Take the clothes, let's go." With a hook of Chen Wan's finger, a piece of lipstick quietly fell into his palm. No one noticed his little gesture. It was only when he gave up the model and switched to the mannequin, otherwise he would not be able to change his job People come out, besides, time is too late.
Shen Zhao's thinking was consistent with the public's. No matter what the result was, losing face was inevitable. He gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could put those people in sacks and beat them up.
"You are guarding outside." Chen Wan didn't explain too much, and asked Shen Zhao to put down her long skirt and close the door.
Shen Zhao didn't understand what Chen Wan was going to do, so he stood at the door in a daze, paying attention to the movement around him, while thinking about how to get justice for Chen Wan.
In the empty room, Chen Wan bent down to take off his shoes, and then took off his clothes. His slender figure was reflected in the fitting mirror.
If there is no model, he will do it by himself, if he really can trap him, if he wants to make a fool of him, he will not make them happy.
Chen Wan's height is similar to that of the female model, so there is no need to adjust the length of the skirt, but due to the innate differences between men and women, his measurement data is slightly different from that of the female model. Fortunately, the long skirt itself has a tie design, and the slight difference can be ignored .
"Shen Zhao." Chen Wan couldn't operate the tie on his back alone, so he raised his voice to call Shen Zhao into the room, turned his back and pulled the two tie with his hands, "Please tie a bow for me."
Shen Zhao hadn't recovered from the shock that Chen Wan brought him, he stared at Chen Wan's back in dumbfounded, his whole body froze like a log, as if his three views had been greatly impacted.
Although Chen Wan's handsome appearance and orchid and bamboo-like temperament are not contrary to wearing a long skirt, but he is a man after all, Shen Zhao's reaction is really normal.
"Shen Zhao." Chen Wan raised her voice, her tone was a little eager, and let Shen Zhao regain her sanity, "Hurry up, we don't have much time."
"Oh... good!" Shen Zhao trembled, took the tie in Chen Wan's hand in a hurry, tightened it with breath, tied a bow on Chen Wan's back, and adjusted it to make the two sides symmetrical.
Chen Wan didn't have the time to pay attention to Shen Zhao's expression. He turned his head sideways and looked at his back in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Shen Zhao finally adjusted his mentality, and when he looked up, the picture of Chen Wan twisting the red tube and applying it evenly on his lips fell into his eyes again.
Chen Wan pursed her lips, and wiped off the lipstick that crossed the boundary with a towel.
It was too red, Chen Wan frowned in dissatisfaction, and removed another layer. His original lip color was light, with a little red dotted on it, showing the light Xiangfei color that matched the long skirt.
Chen Wan's hair is not strong. After shaving in the morning, even if he gets close, there is only a little bit of light-colored stubble. After restoring the social distance, there is no trace of it.
His skin is naturally fair, and his lips are beautiful. Even without makeup, he is still breathtakingly beautiful with lipstick.Chen Wan took off the hair tie. He had his hair cut a year ago, and he hasn't touched it since. Now it has grown beyond his collarbone. Because he tied it up for a long time, the end of his hair curled naturally, adding a bit of femininity to him.
Without needing extra accessories, Chen Wan grabbed the leftover yarn material from the long dress on the table, twisted it around and tied it behind her head.The fluffy yarn covers the eyebrows and eyes, and the vision is hazy for a moment, as if you are highly myopic. You can't see details clearly but it doesn't affect your walking.
Chen Wan had no experience in wearing high heels, and the size of the shoes didn't fit, so he simply went barefoot, and the hem of his skirt barely covered his toes.Taking a long breath, Chen Wan calmed down: "Let's go."
Shen Zhao was amazed by Chen Wan's calmness in the face of danger, he trotted two steps to open the way ahead, Chen Wan didn't wear shoes, so he had to keep an eye on the ground carefully to prevent Chen Wan from being injured.Imagining the reactions of the rest of the people later, Shen Zhao had a vague expectation in his heart.
The whole process of changing costumes was said to be long or not. When the two returned, it just started. The order of playing was decided by lottery, and Chen Wan was ranked third.
"Didn't it mean that the model would never come?" Seeing the model wearing a long skirt standing in the line, Origi couldn't help swearing. After realizing his gaffe, he clenched his hands as hard as he could to stabilize himself. mind.
Oliqi never thought that he would meet Chen Wan in Hong Kong City. Ever since he lost to Chen Wan in Beijing a few years ago, his reputation was almost ruined.If it weren't for Huaguo's cake being so attractive that it was hard to let go of it, Oric would have been in a slump. In order to make a comeback, he kept looking for opportunities and did everything possible to talk to a wealthy and powerful figure in his country.
Under Olic's advice and suggestions, this seemingly fair game was born.Auriqi is well aware of how much money he has. Regardless of the huge publicity of the port city, the organizer is still holding the banner of the Country Y Garment Association. In fact, there is no such competition in Country Y. The so-called The "well-known designers from all over the world" are nothing more than a plea for money.
If there is no accident, Olic and his two companions will take the top three in this game, and then they will start a clothing company in Hong Kong City and gradually penetrate the mainland.
Of course, the capitalists in Hong Kong City are not vegetarians. In order to prevent the "fake competition" from being exposed, they did not restrict the registration of local fashion designers, and invited referees seriously. Otherwise, Auriqi would not have allowed Chen Wan to enter the final.
Oric wanted to secretly send someone to destroy Chen Wan's works, but Chen Wan was so cautious that his people would return without success, so he had to start with models instead.The upper body display accounted for [-]% of the score, he did not believe that Chen Wan could win the championship without models.
It's funny to say that Olic has secured the No.3 third place in the championship, second and third places, and in his subconscious mind, he has already tacitly accepted Chen Wan's ability to surpass everyone in the field.
Faced with Oric's worries, his two companions were puzzled at first, thinking that his worries were unfounded. What kind of designers can Huaguo cultivate?Right now, they are caught in the same impatience as Oric.
If Chen Wan takes the first place, everything they have done will be in vain.
Under the almost desperate eyes of the three of Oric, Chen Wan walked out of the backstage.
The runway was in a circular shape, entering from the left, and the judges were in front, staying in the middle for 1 minute, and then leaving from the right. The invited guests gathered around the runway, with three rows in front and back, enough for them to appreciate the entire catwalk process from all angles.
In the later generations, it is very common to hold design competitions in the form of gaudy catwalks, but for people in Hong Kong City in the 80s, everything in front of them is full of novelty.
Chen Wan, who was not wearing high heels, was half shorter, but he couldn't stand his small head and face, and his body proportions were excellent. Without the blessing of high heels, he still wore a long skirt with an amazing effect.
It was the first time for Chen Wan to appear on the runway as a model. He couldn't get out of the swaying steps of the female models. He walked with the unhurried pace of a designer's curtain call. His back was straight and he was calm and indifferent.
The hem of the skirt wiped the floor, and occasionally exposed the toes. No one cared whether the model walked beautifully, the long skirt on him was eye-catching enough.
The extremely light and fluffy tulle is layered on top of each other, and any slight movement can bring about the swing of the tender petals on the tip of the mountain breeze, or the sea surface under the setting sun, tumbling foam-like waves, just right sporadic sequins create a dark night The starry sky is like a sweet dream lingering in my heart and tongue.
Chen Wan stood still at the front of the runway, silently counting the time of stay, and turned around after 30 seconds, the butterfly bone supported by the bow was about to fly.
So beautiful.
Can't help but blurted out praise, countless people imagined how stunning they would be wearing this long dress, and before the competition was half over, they couldn't wait for the end.
Shen Mingsen and Shen Mingya were sitting in the front row on the right. They watched Chen Wan's back disappearing into the corner behind the runway with reluctance. Shen Mingya's cheeks were flushed with excitement. She observed the fascination on the faces of the guests with great satisfaction. Sorry, this skirt is hers now.
With Chen Wan's jewels in front, the subsequent appearances of several models failed to arouse the interest of the guests. The judges carefully scored the scores out of professionalism, but they voted for the championship in unison in their hearts. designer.
Shen Zhao waited nervously at the exit of the runway, and when Chen Wan stepped off the stage, he immediately protected him and went straight to the changing room, catching Oric and others by surprise.
Chen Wan relaxed his tense nerves. The last part of the final was to show the designer's ideas. There was no need for him to pretend to be a model. The long skirts he replaced were put back on the mannequin, and the staff moved them out.
The catwalk session came to an end, and the concept was displayed 10 minutes later. Up to now, Auriqi couldn't guess the relationship between Chen Wan and the model, and he punched the air angrily.
The overall situation is settled, Chen
