Chu Shilan, the eldest daughter of Chu Huan and Gu Chengxi, was born in 1983 and is already 25 this year. She is also one of the second generations of the Chu family that Zhong Xiaoqing feels is not up to par!
By the way, Chu Shixiao is also in this ranks!
After graduating from Qingyun School, Chu Shilan did not follow her mother's arrangement and was admitted to a well-known business management school. Instead, she applied for Parsons School of Design in North America.
Although Parsons School of Design is also one of the top design schools in the world, it is obviously not in line with the business status of the Chu family. Gu Chengxi and Chu Shilan had a big fight over this matter, but in the end they still could not deal with Chu Shilan.
.
What really made Zhong Xiaoqing think that Chu Shilan was not up to par was Chu Shilan's series of behaviors after graduation.
According to the rules of the Chu family, if the second generation of the family does not have arrangements with his mother, the Chu Family Foundation will give him a start-up fund.
Chu Shilan also received this fund, but she did not start a business for herself step by step. Instead, she used the money to start packaging herself. Within a year after her graduation, with the help of the Chu family's influence, Chu Shilan
Lan has become a very well-known celebrity in the global socialite circle.
Zhong Xiaoqing couldn't understand why she didn't start a good business and ended up being a socialite with nothing to do, especially when she went to the Paris Socialite Ball, which Chu Huan had rejected several times. The so-called Parisian socialite would say she was the best in the world.
Celebrity Ball, but in fact, in the eyes of people like Chu Huan, they didn't look down on it at all.
But even if Zhong Xiaoqing doesn't understand it, it's useless. This is Chu Shilan's own choice, and it doesn't matter what Gu Chengxi says, let alone her sister-in-law.
However, although Chu Shilan seemed out of place in Zhong Xiaoqing's eyes, Chu Shilan and Chu Shige had a good relationship. When they were in North America, they would often hang out together.
"What are you doing? Do you miss me?"
After Chu Shige answered the phone, he smiled and said.
"Yes, I miss you. Where are you?" Chu Shilan's proud laughter came from the other side of the phone. At the same time, Chu Shige also heard the sound of wind and the sound of car horns.
"In Shenghai, you're not speeding again, are you?" Chu Shige reminded: "If you let big brother know, be careful to get scolded, you!"
"Don't worry, I'm not in Xiangjiang now. Big brother can't lecture me!" Chu Shilan said proudly: "By the way, you haven't told me where you are yet?"
"Didn't I say so, Sheng Hai!" Chu Shige said.
"I know it's Sheng Hai. I'm asking where you live?" Chu Shilan asked loudly.
Chu Shige told Chu Shilan the address here. Thinking of what Chu Shilan just said, he asked, "Are you also in Shenghai?"
"Haha, you guessed it right, wait for me, I'll be there soon!"
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Chu Shige smiled helplessly and put down the phone.
After a while, the doorbell rang. Chu Shige got up and walked out of the study. When he opened the door, he saw Chu Shilan with big waves and a long red bohemian dress.
"Why do you live here? Don't I have many properties here in Shenghai? If not, you can just stay in a hotel?"
Looking at the luxuriously decorated flat floor, Chu Shilan threw her bag on the sofa, slumped down on the sofa, and said in disgust.
"This place is closer to the company, otherwise there would be too much traffic jam commuting to get off work every day!" Chu Shige took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and threw it to Chu Shilan.
Chu Shilan took the mineral water and curled her lips and said: "That's you, you have to work, how can you learn from me and be happy and carefree every day!"
Chu Shige did not answer this sentence, but asked: "Why did you come to Shenghai?"
Chu Shilan said helplessly: "I'm not Mommy yet. No matter what I do over there in Xiangjiang, I always have to say a few words. I don't want to hear it. And knowing that you are in Shenghai, I came over!"
"Auntie, that's for your own good. I hope you can have your own career!"
Chu Shige smiled.
"Forget it!" Chu Shilan said quickly: "Actually, I'm pretty good like this. I get 2 million Hong Kong dollars every month. This year, it's more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than the annual income of some domestic listed companies.
The net profit is huge, so why should I start my own business in such a miserable way? Besides, for people like me, the future path has already been planned."
Speaking of this, Chu Shilan suddenly dragged Chu Shige to the sofa and said mysteriously: "Second sister, do you know, my mommy has already started to choose a husband for me."
Chu Shige asked with a smile: "Whose young master is so unfortunate?"
"Second sister!" Chu Shilan raised her voice, and then said proudly: "It doesn't matter whose family he is, if he can marry me, then his family has great virtues."
Then Chu Shilan said to Chu Shige: "But I heard from mommy that it seems that Park Jung-hyung from South Korea has been discussing with daddy for the past two years and wants to marry a girl from our family!"
Hearing Pu Zhenxing's name, Chu Shige frowned slightly. As the legitimate daughter of the Chu family, Chu Shige knew more than Chu Shilan and other children. For example, Pu Zhenxing's Dongming Timber, although it is now only
It is the second largest chaebol in South Korea after Samsung, but in fact the control of this chaebol has always been in the hands of Gaku.
Otherwise, during the economic crisis in South Korea in 1997, Dongming Timber suffered heavy losses.
"Don't worry, Daddy won't let you marry to South Korea, just rest assured!" At this time, Chu Shige actually knew the reason why Chu Shilan came to find him.
Pu Zhenxing has three sons and one daughter, none of whom are married now. It is obvious that Pu Zhenxing wants his eldest son, his heir, to marry Chu Shilan.
But with such an identity, it is still difficult for Chu Shilan to like him. After all, there are too many broken rules in South Korea, and Chu Shilan's temperament will definitely not like it.
"real?"
Sure enough, after hearing what Chu Shige said, Chu Shilan's face immediately showed a smile and asked excitedly.
Chu Shige joked: "If you don't believe it, forget it, I told you anyway!"
Chu Shilan coquettishly wanted to ask Chu Shige the specific reason, but Chu Shige did not give Chu Shilan the specific reason for this matter.
After all, my eldest brother has not made any move yet.
Before coming to Shenghai, Chu Shige returned to Xiangjiang. When he returned to No. 12 Mount Galley Road, Chu Shifeng happened to be there. Chu Shige heard what his elder brother told his father. According to the news from South Korea,
Park Jung-hyung is now becoming more and more disobedient in South Korea, and she is even making small moves more frequently.
This made Chu Shifeng very dissatisfied, and Chu Shige also heard that Chu Huan had given the aunt in South Korea the second highest position in the prosecutorial system in South Korea.
It is estimated that after some time, there will be news from South Korea about Park Jung-hyung being imprisoned.
Under such circumstances, Chu Shige understood that it was impossible for his father to let Chu Shilan marry to South Korea!
"Forget it, it's mysterious, don't talk about knocking me down!" Chu Shilan saw that Chu Shige didn't tell her why, so she could only give up, then stood up and dragged Chu Shige and said: "Let's go, I'll catch the wind for you
, even though you and I came to Shenghai at the same time, you definitely don’t have as many friends as I do in Shenghai!”
He said that he would drag Chu Shige out.
After Chu Shige refused several times, he finally left Chu Shilan's residence without turning around.
In a penthouse apartment of a high-end residence by the Huangpu River somewhere in Shenghai, in the living room of nearly 200 square meters, cups and glasses were intertwined.
As the owner here, Deng Xinwen seemed a little absent-minded. From time to time he would look at the door of the room, obviously waiting for someone to come.
As a guest, Subasha discovered something strange about Deng News, which made Subasha a little curious. You must know that Deng News is the current wife of Murdoch, the chairman of News Corporation, and a well-known ruthless person in the country. With such an identity,
What kind of person could make her wait so curiously?
"What are you looking at? Is someone coming?"
Subatha couldn't help but asked Deng Xinwen.
Deng Xinwen showed a reserved smile and said: "Aren't you always worried about your guests for the Harper's Bazaar Night in August? If you can let the lady who will come soon, you can let her attend your party in August.
Harper's Bazaar Night will definitely elevate your Harper's Bazaar Night to at least one level immediately!"
Subasha showed a surprised expression. Bazaar Night was founded in 2003. After five years of development, it has become an absolutely famous charity party in China.
Especially this year, Subasha contacted Li Lianjie to organize this charity night with the theme of "One Dollar". At the same time, all the popular male and female celebrities in the country have also agreed to participate, as well as Xiangjiang
The great director Peter Chan, Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li and others were present. Who else could take his charity night to a higher level?
Just when Subatha was confused, the doorbell rang. Deng Xinwen stopped the servants at home and walked to the door of the room to open it.
Subatha, who was following Deng Xinwen, saw two girls standing at the door.
They were all in their twenties. The girl standing in front had eye-catching long wavy hair, a string of diamond necklaces on her fair neck, a simple long skirt, and a bag in her hand.
As the editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar, one of the three major fashion magazines in China, Subasha recognized it at a glance. This long dress is the latest one from Prada during this spring's Paris Fashion Week. It has not yet been launched in China, and the bag in her hand is...
It is Gucci’s latest summer bag this year, and it has not yet been launched in Europe and the United States, let alone China.
Well, it can’t be said that it is not on the market. It must be said that this bag will not be on the market at all. It is a limited edition specially reserved by Gucci for its distinguished customers!
As for the girl standing in the back, although she is also very beautiful, and although her clothes are also famous brands, she is a little inferior compared to the girl in front.
Subconsciously, Subasha thought that the other person might be the follower of the girl in front of her, so after just looking at the other person for a while, she turned all her attention to the girl in front of her.
When she looked carefully at the girl's appearance, she found that she looked familiar.
Soon, Subasha found this girl in her memory bank. She was the first girl from Hong Kong who had participated in the Paris Ladies Ball a few years ago.
At that time, when this girl was going to attend the Paris Ladies Ball, the fashion circle had been discussing whose daughter this girl was. It was actually possible for the Paris Ladies Ball to give up the habits they had adhered to for many years. At the beginning of the ball, every girl
They will dance a song with their father.
"Lan Lan, you are finally here. I have been worried that you will be delayed by something today!" Just when Subasha was wondering about the identity of this girl, Deng Xinwen had already affectionately hugged Chu Shige.
holding hands and talking affectionately.
The visitors were naturally the two sisters Chu Shige and Chu Shilan.
Chu Shilan smiled happily and said: "Sister Deng invited me, so of course I am coming. By the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is my second sister Chu Shige."
This time it was Deng Xinwen's turn to be stunned.
She was not qualified to know Deng News before 1999, let alone Chu Shige, even Chu Shilan. But fortunately for Deng News, in this year, she married Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of News Corporation
, the identity directly jumped up several levels.
In 2002, she met Chu Huan once with Murdoch. At that time, she learned that besides the news, there was such a prominent family in Xiangjiang. Since then, Deng News has been very concerned about the situation of the Chu family.
Already.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When I was in North America, I met Chu Shilan, who was passionate about dancing, through some opportunities.
Although she has never met Chu Shige, she also knows the name. From Murdoch, she understands that this girl is Chu Huan's real wife, the second daughter of Cao Yunshang, the world's number one fashion group, it can be said that she was born.
Figure standing at the top of the pyramid.
"It turns out that Miss Chu is here in person. I'm really sorry. I should go downstairs to greet you!"
After finishing speaking, Deng Xinwen shook hands with Chu Shige.
Chu Shige smiled slightly and said: "Sister Deng is so polite. I just realized that Lan Lan brought me to Sister Deng's party. I should dress more formally!"
"Miss Chu is so humble. I would be very happy if you could come. Please come in!"
As he spoke, he invited the two Chu sisters to the living room. Subasha, who was next to Deng Xinwen, was almost dying of anxiety. She really wanted to know the identities of these two girls as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Deng News didn't keep her waiting too long and had already started introducing them to them.
"Two Miss Chu, this is Miss Subasha Su, the editor-in-chief of the domestic "Bazaar" magazine, and Bazaar, this is Miss Chu."
It's just that when Deng News introduced Chu Shige, there was a lag because she really didn't know how to introduce Chu Shige. After all, Murdoch had reminded her many times before not to talk too much about the Chu family to others.
Chu Shige saw Deng Xinwen's embarrassment and took the lead in reaching out and saying: "Hello, Miss Su, I am Chu Shige, and I currently work in the Gucci China Operations Department!"
Subasha was stunned. As the top fashion magazine in China, "Bazaar" naturally has a lot of dealings with these top luxury goods, but she has never heard of a person named Chu Shi in the operations department of Gucci China.
Singing?
But no matter what, the young girl who can make Deng Xinwen so enthusiastic is definitely not an ordinary person. She quickly smiled and said: "Hello, Miss Chu. Speaking of which, I have to thank Gucci. When our "Bazaar" was first founded,
It gave us a lot of help!”
More than just help, Subasha may not even know that the investor behind "Bazaar" is actually the domestic third-tier investment institution of Empire Fashion Group.
In other words, "Bazaar" is actually a subsidiary of Imperial Fashion Group.
Deng Xinwen immediately introduced Chu Shilan to Subasha. Compared with his scruples about Chu Shige, he was not so scrupulous about Chu Shilan. The most important thing was that Chu Shilan himself had never hidden his identity.
one
"Basha, this Miss Chu Shilan is the daughter of Ms. Gu Chengxi, the chairman of Xiangjiang Black and White Newspaper."
Subasha naturally knows about Xiangjiang's Black and White Newspapers. This is the largest newspaper group in Asia. It owns various newspapers and more than a dozen magazines. In addition, it has cooperation with Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" and South Korea's "Bukhan Ilbo".
》It is also a strategic partnership.
Her "Harper's Bazaar" actually learned from the "Fashion" magazine of the black and white newspaper industry!
This is really a big shot!
but.
Just now, Deng News clearly said that they were sisters. Thinking of this, Subasha felt that she had guessed something, but Subasha was very smart and did not mention anything in this regard.
"Hello, Miss Chu, your mother is a senior in our magazine industry and also my idol. I have been to Xiangjiang several times before, and I wanted to visit your mother every time, but unfortunately I never got the chance!"
Subhasa's humble sermon.
While the four of them were chatting, other people in the living room also noticed the situation here. In fact, the people who came here tonight are basically the entertainment industry who are going to participate in the Bazaar Night in August.
Stars.
Although Deng Xinwen's status is high, she really has no business connections in the country. Instead, she has some good people in the entertainment industry because of her connections with Subasha.
For example, those who came to the scene today include three of the country's four most famous celebrities, Jiuji Zhang, Zhao Xiaoyan, Zhou Gongzi, Shuang Bing, Yi Xiannyv and so on.
Among them, International Zhang was the first to notice the situation here, and he was also the first to recognize Chu Shilan.
At this time, she had already come over with champagne and said with a smile: "Lan Lan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why didn't you tell me when you came to Shenghai?"
He looks very affectionate.
Chu Shilan smiled politely and said: "Didn't I just come here? I was thinking of calling you tomorrow. I didn't expect to see you at Sister Deng's place!"
"Who are these two girls? They seem to have a lot of background. You see, Deng Xinxing, Subasha and International Chapter seem to be trying to curry favor with them?"
In a corner of the party, a man and a woman were looking at the people in the center of the party and chatting quietly.
"I don't know, maybe she's the big boss's daughter?"
The girl's expression was indifferent, and there was a hint of boredom in her eyes.
If these two people were seen by outsiders, they would definitely scream. In 2005, they co-starred in Jin Yong's drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The male Huang Xiaoming played Yang Guo and the female Liu Xiaoxian played the role of Xiao Longnu.
.
"Would you like to go over and say hello? Such a person must have quite a lot of energy!" Huang Xiaoming said softly.
Liu Xiaoxian shook his head and said: "I won't go there. There are so many people there, and I can't say anything even if I go there."
Huang Xiaoming knew Liu Xiaoxian's character and didn't force it. Seeing that Zhao Xiaoyan, the goddess in his heart, also passed by, he greeted Liu Xiaoxian and came over.
"Ms. Chu, I heard that your company is currently looking for a suitable spokesperson for your new brand. It seems that Miss Chu must be very busy during this time!"
As soon as Huang Xiaoming came over, he heard Zhao Xiaoyan chatting enthusiastically with the girl in ordinary clothes.
"Yes, Gucci is an internationally renowned brand, so the choice of spokesperson cannot be vague. Miss Chu must have a very headache, right?"
Fan Pangpang also interjected at this time.
Huang Xiaoming had some concerns in his mind. This girl in ordinary clothes should be one of the people in charge of Gucci. Otherwise, based on his understanding of Zhao Xiaoyan and Fan Pangpang, they would definitely not tell each other about this matter so enthusiastically.
of.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Xiaoyan saw Huang Xiaoming coming over, took Huang Xiaoming's arm, smiled and introduced Chu Shige: "Miss Chu, this is Huang Xiaoming, who just last year
He starred in the remake of "Xinsheng Beach", and he and Chen Changgong are the two most popular niche actors in China right now!"
Zhao Xiaoyan then told Huang Xiaoming the identity of Chu Shige.
Huang Xiaoming couldn't help being surprised when he heard that Chu Shige was one of the heads of Gucci's China operations department, "Miss Chu must be a very capable lady to be able to become a senior executive of Gucci at such a young age!"
Chu Shige smiled politely and said, "Mr. Huang praised me!"
In fact, when she first came here, Chu Shige was going to say hello and leave. She originally thought that Chu Shilan would take her to find a place to sit for a while, but she didn't expect that Chu Shilan would take her to Deng.
The news party is coming.
However, when Chu Shige saw the room full of domestic celebrities, his thoughts were shaken. In fact, Chu Shige already had some ideas in mind regarding the promotion of Gucci's new products, which was to find one or two domestic celebrities.
Celebrities, plus one or two Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and when the time comes, we will find a Hollywood star to anchor the show.
Assemble a co-star cast!
This is also the inspiration Chu Shige got from promoting Yunzhao beverage.
Back then, two beverage groups, Yunzhao Beverage and PepsiCo, and Coca-Cola, were engaged in a global advertising war. At that time, Zhu Xiaozhao was defeated by the two major groups. In desperation, he approached Chu Huan to seek a solution.
Then Chu Huan gave an excellent advertising content.
That is to find many top stars from Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Europe, and North America, and collaborate to shoot a number of epic commercials, standing out from the crowd in one fell swoop.
Nowadays, Yunzhao, Pepsi and Coke have already formed a tripartite posture in the global beverage industry.
Although today's Gucci promotion cannot be similar to Yun Zhao's advertisement in details, after all, this is a luxury brand, and it pursues his brand's strong style, but no matter what, the spokesperson still needs to be carefully considered.
"When celebrities and products are combined, many times the celebrity's personal words and deeds are actually related to the value of the brand, so this kind of thing is better to be missing than in vain!"
This is what Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang said to Chu Shige who was in school when they were in North America.
Now that Zhao Xiaoyan said this, Chu Shige also knew that Zhao Xiaoyan wanted to get Gucci’s endorsement. In fact, Zhao Xiaoyan’s information was included in the candidate list of spokespersons submitted by the company.
However, Chu Shige had actually removed Zhao Xiaoyan's name from the list of spokespersons early.
Regardless of whether the China District of Empire Fashion Group will continue to follow the previous business strategy, continue to develop according to the previous development strategy in Europe and the United States, or localize, one thing is certain.
That is, if Gucci wants to increase its influence and style in China, it cannot use tainted content.
"With the Beijing Olympics being held, the Chinese people's awareness of a powerful country will definitely become stronger and stronger. If you want to make a difference in the domestic market, you must abide by this principle."
This is what Chu Huan told Chu Shige when Chu Shige decided to join the Empire Fashion Group.
Although Zhao Xiaoyan is now very famous in China, the military flag incident is still there. Although Zhao Xiaoyan's public relations team claimed at the time that it was rare for a domestic star like Zhao Xiaoyan to be featured in a top fashion magazine like North American Fashion.
It is something that cannot be asked for, and Zhao Xiaoyan wore that dress because she did not understand historical events.
But Chu Shige clearly understood that it was impossible for Zhao Xiaoyan not to know about this kind of thing. It was just because of luck and his background in China that he felt confident.
For such a star, what happened last time can be over, but what about the future?
There is absolutely no need for Gucci to increase its own risks by choosing a female star who may have problems.
As for Fan Pangpang, although she made her debut as a maid, she has clearly shown herself to be a very ambitious girl in the past two years. Especially in the past few years, she has participated in many movies in Hong Kong. She is famous enough, but
.
At this time, Chu Shige had discovered a better choice.
After smiling and saying sorry to the people around him, Chu Shige came to Liu Xiaoxian's side.
"Hello, Ms. Liu, I am Chu Shige from Gucci China Operations Department. Nice to meet you!"
Liu Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't go up to join in the fun just now, it didn't mean that Liu Xiaoxian was really Xiaoxian. She was still very excited when she saw Chu Shige, who had just been praised by the stars, coming to her side.
"Hello, Miss Chu, nice to meet you!"
Chu Shige sat next to Liu Xiaoxian, and the two laughed and chatted.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Xiaoyan, Fan Pangpang and others, who had just taken the initiative to chat with Chu Shige, showed dissatisfied looks on their faces.
He snorted coldly and returned to his own circle.
However, Chu Shige and Liu Xiaoxian have become somewhat familiar from the strangers at the beginning. Liu Xiaoxian even knew Chu Shige's thoughts, which made her even more excited.
You must know that being able to win several top luxury goods endorsements in China is an important criterion for measuring an actor's quality.
"Since there are no problems on your side, Miss Liu, I am going to the capital in just two days. How about we discuss the specific signing process in the capital then?"
"Thank you, Miss Chu. I don't have any problems here!"
