In fact, when I saw this sentence sent by Su Tao, I had already guessed what she wanted to do.
But I still replied against my will: "Of course I do."
"Then let's also travel to the Maldives. You can rent a yacht. Have you heard of sea fishing? Then you can also go fishing in the sea, and I will wear a bikini... Think about it, is that a picture like that?
It’s beautiful.”
"Well, it's very beautiful." I still said insincerely.
"Then when shall we go?"
"It'll take some time. You know I'm too busy these days to leave."
Su Tao was not happy anymore. She gave me a "sad" expression, and then said: "You always said you were so busy that you didn't even have time to go shopping with me. I have always understood you...but
, this is my little wish, can’t you spare some time to accompany me?”
"How about this? Once the construction of the clothing city starts, can I accompany you?"
"How long will it take?"
"Half a month at the latest."
"It's still half a month away?!"
"Well, the project has just been established, and it will take at least half a month before construction begins."
"No, it's too long. Ten days. I'll give you ten days. Is that enough?"
I don't want to continue talking nonsense with her. No matter if it's ten days or half a month, I can't agree to her.
I say this just to stabilize her.
So, I agreed and told her it would only be ten days.
So after a while, she sent me several pictures of bikinis, different types and styles.
She asked me again: "Dear, which of these pictures do you think is better?"
I casually said: "The black one!"
Su Tao sent another "smiley face" and said: "We really have a good connection. I also like the black one. Black represents sexy, right? My dear."
"Um."
"Okay, okay, I won't disturb you anymore. Just go about your business first and I'll take a look."
I finally ended my chat with her. Every time I communicate with her, I feel very tired. I even worry about whether anyone will find out.
This feeling of guilty conscience is really unpleasant, but I don’t know how long I will continue to live like this?
I don't know if there is any new progress on Fu Zhiqiang's side. At present, only by finding Su Tao's ex-boyfriend can there be a breakthrough in this matter.
Just when I was thinking about this, Gu Ming suddenly called me.
After adjusting my status, I answered the phone: "Hello, Mr. Gu."
"Mr. Chen, I just got some good news here. Let me tell you."
"What's the good news?" I asked hurriedly.
"I just received news from the French Fashion Association that our brand was selected this year. This is quite good news!"
Although I don't know much about these things, I know that generally those who can participate in such fashion weeks are big brands.
And our Yalan Clothing has only been established for less than a year, so it is really incredible to be selected.
I asked: "Is it true?"
"Why did I lie to you? I have an invitation letter from the French Fashion Association, inviting us to participate in this year's Paris Fashion Week."
"Really?" I asked again in disbelief.
"Really, it's just a shortlist. Whether our costumes can be used on stage needs to be approved."
The stock investor paused and then said to me: "You should prepare first. Prepare about ten designs before sending them out for review."
"Okay, what time is it?"
"I will send you an invitation later, with the time and address on it, as well as preparations."
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Gu."
"What's the trouble? I'm happy to have this opportunity!"
After hanging up the phone, I received an invitation letter from Gu Ming not long after. The invitation letter was so exquisitely made that it had a high-end and grand feeling as soon as I opened it.
It is indeed the world's top fashion show. You must know that only some luxury brands can participate in this kind of fashion show!
After briefly reading the content, I directly knocked on An Lan’s office door. Naturally, I wanted to share such a good thing with her as soon as possible.
I hurried into her office. An Lan raised her head and glanced at me and said, "What are you doing? You're so anxious."
"I want to share something good with you."
"What's the good thing?"
"Let me show you this."
I took out my phone, opened the invitation letter Gu Ming just sent me, and handed it to An Lan.
After An Lan took my phone, she started to look at it. At just one glance, she was also stunned.
"Is this... real or fake?"
"What do you think? It must be true! Gu Mingfa just sent it to me."
"The invitation letter from the French Fashion Association means that our clothes can be shown in the fashion week?"
"Gu Ming personally received a call from the host committee saying that we were shortlisted, but being shortlisted means there is a chance."
An Lan was suddenly shocked and said: "Oh my God! This...is this so lucky?"
I smiled and said: "It's luck, but it's also our hard work for so long that proves that my previous idea was correct, we just make it a luxury product for our own nation."
An Lan looked at the invitation carefully again, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
After a moment, he suddenly frowned and said: "But the notice on the invitation letter requires you to prepare at least ten sets of different types of clothing. We only have a few sets of styles in total now, and in this case, we should all use the new version, right?"
I am also aware of this problem, plus our company currently has no designers.
I was caught in a dilemma for a moment, and after a moment of silence I said, "The event is held on December 6th, and there are still nearly two months left, so that should be enough."
"But our company doesn't even have a designer now. In less than two months, is it enough?"
"The only choice is to ask Xiao Siya for help. If it doesn't work, we will buy it from her."
Apart from this method, there seems to be no better way.
An Lan pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Then go and contact her and see if she is willing."
"Well, then I'll go back to the office first, and you can do your work."
After returning to the office, I didn't delay and sent Xiao Siya a WeChat message directly.
"Is it convenient now? Let me tell you something."
A minute later, Xiao Siya replied: "What's going on?"
"We received an invitation from the French Fashion Council to be shortlisted for Paris Fashion Week this fall and winter."
"I'll go, right?" Xiao Siya also seemed surprised.
"It's true, I've received the invitation letter, so I want to ask you a favor."
Xiao Siya was still smart. She took the initiative and said to me: "You want me to help you design it?"
"Well, there are still two months left. At least ten sets are needed. Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes! But what good will this do to me?"
"I can pay to buy the blueprints from you."
Xiao Siya sent a "smile" emoticon, but I didn't know what it meant.
While she was in a daze, she sent another message: "Yes, but it's a bit expensive!"
"Can you tell me the number?"
"Oh! So generous? OK, one set is 10 million, and ten sets are exactly 100 million."
Looking at Xiao Siya's reply, I suddenly felt like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Now don't ask me to come up with 100 million, I can't come up with even 10 million!
I was stunned for a long time and then said to her: "Can it be less? You are so familiar with it, how about a discount?"
