Chapter 77: It's You
An Zhisu and Song Jiaren had lunch together and then took her back to the law firm. On the way, he received a call from director Li Chen's assistant. The two parties made an appointment to meet in the afternoon, so An Zhisu hurried home and got her design book before driving to Li Chen's company.
An Zhisu reported her name at the front desk, and found her name on the reservation book. After seeing that the important guests were marked, one of the front desk ladies personally sent An Zhisu upstairs.
The two entered the elevator. The front desk lady couldn't help but look at the jeans An Zhisu was wearing, staring at the embroidery on it, as if she was looking at a handsome guy, with coveting eyes.
"Ms. An, I'll ask, where did you buy your clothes? The embroidery on it is very beautiful." The front desk lady saw that the elevator was about to arrive, and she would have no chance if she didn't ask, so she didn't care about politeness and asked anxiously.
An Zhisu smiled and said, "I bought a piece of jeans in the mall, and the embroidery on them was embroidered by myself."
"Ah? You embroidered it yourself! Oh my God, are you a designer?" The front desk lady opened her cherry mouth in surprise, quite cute.
"Yes." An Zhisu blinked at her, looking a little playful.
The front desk lady asked happily: "Ms. An, which brand of designer are you? The clothes you designed must be very optimistic."
"Su Huan." An Zhisu said softly: "My own brand, please take care of me in the future."
The front desk lady looked at An Zhisu with admiration. She nodded subconsciously, and just then the elevator stopped.
"Hello, Miss An, I am Director Li's assistant." The elevator door opened, and Li Chen's assistant was waiting outside to receive her.
An Zhisu had been on the phone with him before and knew that his surname was Wang. He smiled and said hello to him and walked out of the elevator. He did not forget to turn around and say goodbye to the front desk lady.
"Miss An, I will definitely support you." The front desk lady clenched her fists and made a cheering gesture at her.
"Thank you." An Zhisu also learned how she was to cheer herself up. It felt really good to be liked by others, just like the clothes she designed a long time ago, which always led the trend.
Assistant Wang led An Zhisu into Li Chen's office. Li Chen was answering the phone. An Zhisu heard it all, as if someone was asking him for a movie casting. Li Chen was a little impatient and said, "I won't open the back door for anyone here" and hung up the phone.
Li Chen hung up the phone before looking up at An Zhisu. He had only met this amazing girl at the banquet yesterday, so he still looked familiar with her and asked her to sit down politely.
Assistant Wang went to make coffee for An Zhisu. An Zhisu knew that Li Chen was a busy man and did not waste his time. He took out his portfolio from his bag and handed it to him: "Director Li, please take a look at my works first."
Li Chen signed an investment contract with Ye Lancheng in the morning. With Ye Lancheng's investment, he no longer needs to find other investors in this movie. This made him feel very good. Once he was in a good mood, he seemed much more amiable. He picked up his portfolio and looked patiently.
An Zhisu heard Ye Lancheng talk about Li Chen's movie. The background was in the early days of the Republic of China. The heroine's costumes were mostly cheongsams, so the collection of works she brought was very targeted, and it was full of her cheongsam designs.
Li Chen looked through one by one, and the stunning in his eyes became more and more obvious. An Zhisu's design is very elegant and unique, the colors are bold, and the embroidery styles are even more diverse. Almost every cheongsam is completely in line with his conception of the heroine's clothing.
Li Chen was ecstatic. He was not satisfied with so many designers. But this designer who had no reputation had the right taste. He really searched for everything without any effort.
"It's you." Li Chen closed the picture album, made a decision on the spot, and excitedly called his assistant: "Xiao Wang, come and prepare a contract quickly. My movie's costume designer will be Miss An. The other messy bullshit designers have pushed me all, what are they designing."
An Zhisu:...
An Zhisu's mouth twitched almost invisibly. This director Li was really as Ye Lancheng said, a little willful.
Assistant Wang seemed to have been accustomed to his boss's weirdness and willfulness. After he brought coffee to An Zhisu, he went out to prepare the contract. "Miss An, you drink coffee. I didn't expect that you are young and have a hand in embroidery skills. You should know that the young designers now admire foreigners and are charming in foreign countries. The clothes they designed are closely following the international trend, and like some classical elements, they have been left behind." Li Chen smiled and An Zhi.
Su chatted. An Zhisu also relaxed in his smile and said in a chat: "My grandmother's ancestors were from an embroidery workshop. The daughters of the Su family have been exposed to embroidery since childhood. They had to learn to recognize needles and thread when they were three years old, and they had to start learning embroidery when they were a little older. Later, the family fell into the way, and they came to my grandmother's.
The embroidery workshop no longer exists. My grandmother relies on embroidery skills as an embroidery girl to support the family of three. This skill was passed on from my grandmother to my mother, and my mother passed it on to me. But my mother passed it to me early on, and I was still young at that time and I was not good at learning skills. Fortunately, Director Li didn’t dislike it.”
Li Chen did not expect that An Zhisu's embroidery skills were passed down from his ancestors. He heard An Zhisu called Teacher Guan Peihua at the banquet, but he thought it was taught by Guan Peihua.
"It turns out that Miss An's family is a Suxiu family. No wonder you have mastered skills at a young age." Li Chen suddenly realized that he had a little more appreciation for An Zhisu.
"Director Li has won the award." An Zhisu smiled modestly.
"Huh..." Li Chen waved his hand and said encouragemently: "You don't have to be so humble. As a young man, he should be arrogant because of his talent. When I was young, I relied on my little talent, but I never took other bullshit directors seriously."
An Zhisu was joking by Li Chen's words. With a puff, he imitated Li Chen's arrogant spirit and said: "I also feel that no one can match the cheongsam design and embroidery skills."
"Hahaha..." Li Chen laughed loudly and slapped the table and said, "You girl, you have a taste for me. Mr. Ye has recommended a talent to me. I have a premonition that if you join this movie, I will definitely win an award. No matter how bad I can win a Best Clothing Design Award."
When An Zhisu heard the Fashion Design Award, his eyes lit up: "Will you present the award to the designer?"
"Of course," Li Chen laughed: "I'm going to be for the International Film Festival next year. You work hard. If the movie is nominated for being filmed, I'll take you to the red carpet."
An Zhisu was greatly encouraged and nodded with fists: "I will do my best."
Li Chen was inexplicably confident in An Zhisu. He had a strong premonition that An Zhisu would definitely shine in the fashion design industry in the future.
Assistant Wang called the contract and gave it to An Zhisu in both copies: "Miss An, please take a look. This is a regular contract we signed with the designer, and there are relevant details in the contract." "Okay." An Zhisu took the contract and, to show respect, she looked at it one by one seriously.
