56. Chapter 56
Lan Xiu's two advertisements were both scheduled to be shot at the "Fashion" magazine office, and on the same morning, it can be said that the time was quite tight, so the three of them rushed over early in the morning.
There was a newly built independent building in the "F" magazine, and it was work time when Lan Xiu and the others arrived. Fashionably dressed men and women quickly emerged from the flow of people with coffee, and quickly converged into another group of colorful people pouring into the white building in front of them. These people all walked in a hurry, the delicate soles of their feet tapping on the concrete floor with a crisp click, fleeting, leaving only a faint smell of perfume.
Yao Ling looked at the beautiful women dressed up, and she didn't know why she was a little timid. For the convenience of work, Yao Ling rarely dresses herself, and today she is wearing a baggy T-shirt and linen shorts, with the yellowed white running shoes on her feet, she feels that she must be very sloppy.
"Yao Ling, what's wrong with you, let's go?" Yu Ziyu saw Yao Ling standing still in a daze, so he went up and pulled her.
Yao Ling tugged at her big T-shirt and snorted: "Brother Yu, those who go in are all dressed so well, do you think they will kick us out if we go in?" ”
"Thinking about something, you don't want to compare beauty. Yu Ziyu pulled her again and said: "Don't look at those people with such a glamorous appearance, you may not know how to eat bran vegetables in private, even if you work in "F", you are just a working girl with a good name, how much money can you make?"
"That makes sense, but I still feel very awkward. Yao Ling said with a suffocated mouth, thinking that she regretted not wearing a better set of clothes, but who could have known that the gap between domestic and foreign countries would be so big. She hasn't been to those big magazines in China, and the people inside are dressed quite ordinary, at most they can dress up a little more than ordinary people.
Yu Ziyu couldn't understand Yao Ling's inferiority complex at all, and saw that Lan Xiu, who was walking in front, had already entered the gate, and hurriedly said: "Don't mutter, Xiao Yi has gone in, don't lose people." ”
When the two chased in, Lan Xiu was already waiting for registration at the front desk, and standing in front of him was a man with excellent appearance and a little familiar, who should also be a star in terms of temperament and dress, surrounded by two assistant-like girls, and a man who looked like an agent was helping him register.
The man who was suspected of being a star looked around with his arms a little bored, and his expression immediately became vigilant when he saw Lan Xiu, and then he hugged his arms and said quite condescendingly: "Hey, boy, you're also here to take pictures?"
Lan Xiu took a step back, frowning and twisting his head, not paying attention to the man.
This made the man very unhappy, he sneered, and said loudly to the front desk: "Can anyone come to "F" to take pictures now? When did your magazine's taste become so bad?"
The man's voice was loud, especially loud in the empty hall, attracting everyone around him. These people obviously knew this man, and they didn't know Lan Xiu at all, so they instantly evaluated the strength and weakness of the two, and began to look at Lan Xiu with a joke look.
Seeing that Lan Xiu didn't care about people, Yu Ziyu originally wanted to go up and communicate for him, but seeing that this man had such a bad attitude, he immediately stopped in front of Lan Xiu and said in English that he was not very fluent: "I always thought that "F" was a magazine that paid great attention to quality, did it turn bad when I didn't know it?"
The man heard that Yu Ziyu was sarcastically saying that he had a problem with his character, and his eyebrows immediately raised and shouted, "What do you mean?"
"Can't you understand English?" asked Yu Royu, swallowing his saliva.
"You damn yellow-skinned monkey!" the man cursed loudly, and then he suddenly raised his fist and smashed it at Yu Ziyu.
The distance between the two was very short, and Yu Ziyu didn't have time to hide at all, so he only had time to close his eyes.
However, the fist did not fall as he imagined, and the agent-like man stopped the man in time, he looked at Yu Ziyu and said with a contemptuous expression: "Rick, don't pay attention to these little people, you will freak them out." Keep up your affections, this magazine photo is very important to you. ”
The man's action of raising his fist was only for a moment, but Yu Ziyu's timid appearance was still seen by many people, and when someone heard the agent's words, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yu Ziyu's face immediately turned red, except for the fear that he thought it was more of a humiliated anger, his whole body trembled a little with anger, and he wanted to refute it, but at this time his mind was blank, and his lips trembled and he couldn't say a word at all.
Lan Xiu loosened Yu Ziyu's clothes, glanced at him, and then looked around the hall with his ant-like eyes, and finally stopped at the agent and said, "You and that white-skinned monkey will soon know who the real poor little person is." ”
After speaking, Lan Xiu showed a lovely smile, and then turned his head to look at the door of the hall: "Lucy, long time no see, I really miss you." ”
Everyone followed his line of sight, and saw a woman in a black dress walking in on ten-centimeter-high stiletto heels, her expression was arrogant and cold, and her clothes were completely arrogant and domineering, it was the editor-in-chief of "F" magazine, known as the fashion goddess - Lucinda Brown.
Everyone in the room took a breath, and at the same time countless question marks appeared in their hearts, who is this beautiful boy? What is his origin? What is his name? Why does he dare to call Lucinda Lucy? Oh my God, they have never heard anyone call Lucinda like that, like a little girl from the country. Will Lucinda be angry? Will she fire everyone present? God, who will tell them the answer.
No matter what the people were thinking, their eyes were glued to Lucinda, expecting her reaction.
Lucinda was thinking about the theme of the new issue of the magazine when she came in, and suddenly heard someone call her like this, she looked over with some surprise, and then ran to Lan Xiu with a smile on her face, and gave him a big hug excitedly.
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, they had never seen Lucinda look so surprised, you must know that she is always straight face in front of outsiders, even if she smiles, it is only a hook of lips, they don't know that Lucinda can show such a happy expression.
Lucinda ignored everyone's stunned expressions, she let go of the arm holding Lan Xiu, and said kindly: "Lan Xiu, why did you come here, when did you come back, why didn't you call me?" At this moment, she had completely faded from the appearance of being thousands of miles away just now, and she looked simply amiable, just like any aunt in the neighbor's house next door.
"I just came back yesterday afternoon, and I came here today to shoot advertising endorsements, and I wanted to surprise you. Lan Xiu said.
"What a big surprise. Which endorsement do you shoot, and what time did you agree?" Lucinda asked with concern.
"Charana and Blue Jade's endorsement, one nine, one eleven. Lan Xiu replied.
Immediately, there was another sound of inhaling in the hall, and the man named Rick and his agent were completely stupid, and now what happened was beyond their imagination.
"That's nice, the Charana and Blue Emerald ad will be in the next issue of the magazine, and I'll let them design the most beautiful layout. Lucinda said, then looked at her watch and said, "It's only half past eight, would you like to go to my office and sit for a while?"
"Of course, I also brought you a gift. Lan Xiu said.
"Then come with me, I'll show you around, I'm sure you'll love my office." Lucinda said she was proud that she had designed everything from the decoration of her office to the placement of a vase, after all, there were several magazine editors who could do that.
"Of course, your taste is always the best. Lan Xiu said.
Then Lan Xiu followed Lucinda into her elevator, and as he left, he smiled like an angelic perfection at Rick and his agent, but in the eyes of those two people, it was a demonic smile. The agent was even more in a cold sweat, the entire "F" magazine was in the hands of Lucinda, if this teenager named Lanxiu said some bad things about Lucinda, then the inside pages of Rick's next issue of the magazine might be finished.
Of course, those two people Lan Xiu would not give them good results, and before he got out of the elevator, he sued Lucinda for a little black situation, and Lucinda also readily agreed to teach those two people a little lesson. That Rick had already signed a contract with the magazine, so naturally the photo still had to be taken, but in the end, whether to use it or not, and how to use it, was up to Lucinda to decide.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Lucinda asked her assistant to send Lan Xiu to the studio, and on the way, Yu Ziyu couldn't help but lean into Lan Xiu's ear and whispered: "Xiao Yi, how did you know Lucinda Brown, it's amazing." ”
"Relatives, my relatives are all over the European high society, you will know after a long time. But Yu Ziyu, your watch today really surprised me. Lan Xiu raised his eyebrows and teased.
Yu Ziyu immediately blushed, but this time because he was embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, "Actually, I didn't expect him to punch suddenly." ”
"Otherwise, won't you stand in front of me?"
"It's still going to be blocked, and the attitude of those two people is really bad. Yu Ziyu said, he was very angry when he thought of the yellow-skinned monkey, but the two had already been punished, and Lan Xiu's white-skinned monkey was also very relieved.
"Are you still angry about what happened? Wait for them to come and apologize to you, but I think you still need to be distracted. From this afternoon until the night before I return to Huaguo, I will use it to visit relatives and friends, you and Yao Ling don't have to follow me, so I will help you hire a guide, and then give you some money, you can have a good time. Lan Xiu said.
"Yao Ling and I have money, as long as we have a guide. Yu Ziyu heard this and said quickly.
"Yes, yes, we have money, my relatives and friends know that I am coming to the United States, and they all ask me to buy it for them, so I bring a lot of money. Yao Ling waved her hand and said.
Lan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and did not retract what he had just said.
