"Engineer in the fashion industry?" Zhou Jingyi smiled, "I think Rick must be doing well with you." ”

"His working environment, being able to see a lot of beautiful women, and being able to do what he likes and is good at, of course, has a very good life. Xiao Yao smiled.

"No wonder he has been staying in Huaxia and is reluctant to go back to the United States!" Zhou Jingyi said, "I don't know what he looks like now, I can't wait to see him!"

"Soon!" Xiao Yao stopped the car, and the people in the car said, "Everyone, it's here!"

Zhou Jingyi glanced out of the car window and found that Xiao Yao had parked the car next to a building, obviously having arrived at his destination.

"Model agency?" Zhou Jingyi got out of the car and saw the company's name and logo hanging next to the building gate, and asked Xiao Yao strangely, "Isn't Rick working in your personal branding studio?"

Zhou Jingyi already knew Chinese, not to mention that the company name was written in both Chinese and English, and Zhou Jingyi naturally saw the nature of the company in the building in front of her at a glance.

"Rick doesn't work in my personal branding studio, that brand belongs to me and Yin. Xiao Yao corrected Zhou Jingyi first, and then said, "That brand studio belongs to part of Yin's personal studio, in Shencheng, not in Yanjing." The modeling agency often works with Yoon's studio. This time we borrowed their place and arranged for you to try on dresses here!"

"OK!" Zhou Jingyi nodded.

"Let's go!" Xiao Yao led everyone into the building in front of him.

Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others also came here to try on the dress two days ago, so as soon as he entered the door, the two front deskers immediately recognized him.

"Little boss!" Seeing Xiao Yao walk in with someone, the two little girls at the front desk immediately got up with a smile and greeted them.

This modeling agency is naturally Xingdonglin Model Company.

In line with the principle of "fertilizer water does not flow into outsiders' fields", at the first press conference of Yin Xi and Xiao Yao's joint brand, Xiao Yao was a model invited from Xingdonglin Model Company. Since then, Yin Xi's studio has had a lot of cooperation with Xingdonglin Company. Yin Xi's studio does not have a contracted model, and when a model is needed, he basically looks for someone from Xingdonglin Model Company. Of course, such a close cooperative relationship between the two is naturally indispensable to Xiao Yao's reasons.

Although he has rarely appeared in the modeling company in recent years, compared with Xiao Siqi back then, Xiao Yao's presence and topic in the modeling company are much higher.

On the one hand, even if Xiao Yao does not appear, he really directly or indirectly helps the models in the company take over the project. On the other hand, Xiao Yao's topic degree at the public level is much higher than Xiao Siqi's, and he will be on the hot search when he has nothing to do, and people in the company will talk about him from time to time when they talk about gossip and entertainment news. In this way, the fact that Xiao Yao is a shareholder of the company is unlikely to be forgotten or ignored.

Whenever Xiao Yao comes to the modeling agency, it is impossible for Xiao Siqi to take Xiao Yao into the company and be stopped by the front desk. Because there are still anecdotes circulating in the company that Xiao Siqi brought Xiao Yao to the company for the first time and was stopped by the front desk, several front deskers were even more enthusiastic and positive when they saw Xiao Yao than the two big bosses of the company.

"Little boss, are you the owner of this modeling agency?" Zhou Jingyi looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Don't tell me that these two girls at the front desk are from Miss Yin's studio!"

In addition to Zhou Jingyi, a Chinese-American, the four members of the band now also understand Chinese. Although it is not very standard, there is no problem in listening. Even though the two little girls at the front desk spoke Chinese, they all understood.

"Jan, are you the boss of this company?" Dean and the others cried out.

When they were exchange students in the United States, Xiao Yao only told Dean that their father was a musician, and later through some things, Dean and Zhou Jingyi and others successively learned that Xiao Yao was a photographer and a member of the parkour veteran team. After Xiao Yao returned to China, they knew that Xiao Yao had a personal brand, a musical instrument company, a personal studio and a film and television company, and was an actor and director. However, from beginning to end, they never knew that Xiao Yao was still the owner of a modeling company.

"I'm a shareholder in this modeling agency, and I'm one of the bosses. Xiao Yao nodded and said, "However, my shareholding ratio is not very high, I have no specific position here, I don't interfere in the company's operations, and I rarely come here!"

"Xi Si's team has arrived, right?" After explaining a little, Xiao Yao asked the two girls at the front desk, "Where are they?"

"Here!" one of the girls nodded, "do you need me to take you there?"

"No, I know the place!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "But Zhao Rui will bring some other people over in a while, and when the time comes, please take them to the place where Xi Si's team is." ”

They came in several cars. Xiao Yao drove relatively fast, Zhao Rui, Mu Ying and the others were behind, and they hadn't arrived yet, and Xiao Yao was not ready to stand at the door and wait for them.

"Got it, little boss!" the two girls nodded together.

Zhao Rui and Xu Fei have also been here in the past two days, and the two little girls at the front desk know each other.

"Okay, then let's go in first. Xiao Yao waved goodbye to the two front desks and walked inside with Zhou Jingyi and others.

When he came to the modeling agency two days ago, Xiao Yao found that people in the company still liked to call him "little boss", and he was unhappy to correct it a few times, saying that he was not small now. But as soon as Xiao Yao said it, those guys smiled and said that their name was "Boss Xiao", not "Little Boss". Xiao Yao has no position in the company, and he doesn't even have an excuse for them to change his name to "Mr. Xiao", so he can only let them go.

"This modeling agency seems to be quite large," Dean lamented on the way in, "I didn't expect you to be a shareholder of such a modeling agency." No wonder you know Betty and have such a good relationship with Eva!"

"No!" Samion shook his head, "We've heard Keith say that Jan was only ten years old when he first went to the Eva Show and met Betty. His relationship with Eva and his acquaintance with Betty should have nothing to do with this modeling agency. ”

"Actually, there is something to do with it. Xiao Yao said, "When I was ten years old, I was able to go to the Eva show because of the recommendation of my photography teacher Tiel. I met Tiere in this company, and I was able to become his student because of this company's projects, so I was able to go to the Eva Show and meet Betty, which still has a lot to do with this company. ”

Regarding the affairs of this company, Xiao Yao didn't take the initiative to mention it because he didn't want to show off, but he didn't intend to hide it deliberately. Hearing them mention this matter, Xiao Yao took the initiative to explain.

"The company's project?" Dean guessed, "You worked as a model when you were a kid, and because you met Thiel here, you became famous and invested in the company and became the owner of the company?"

"No, the shares were left to me by my biological mother!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "My biological mother is a model, she co-founded this company with two bosses here, after she died, the shares were in the hands of my father, and when I became an adult, my father officially transferred all the shares to me! When I was eight years old, my father didn't want to come here anymore, and wanted me to exercise the rights of shareholders on his behalf, so he brought me here, and then I met Tiel." ”

"When you were eight years old, you exercised shareholder power on behalf of your father?" Dean and the others all looked at Xiao Yao in surprise and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Actually, there is no need to do anything, my father and I have no intention of participating in the company's operational decisions, just attending the company's shareholders' meeting once a year!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Later, I also found an agent, and I didn't come much myself." ”

"Little boss!"

A young woman holding a folder with a work badge around her neck passed by Xiao Yao and his party, stopped to greet Xiao Yao with a smile, and smiled politely at Dean and the others. It wasn't until Xiao Yao smiled and nodded in response that the young woman hurriedly left again.

"But I see that the people here seem to be familiar with you, and very close to you!" Dean said, pointing to the young woman who had departed.

Along the way, Dean and the others found that not only those who were wearing work cards, but also those who seemed to be employees here would basically stop and greet Xiao Yao with a smile when they passed by, but also some people who were dressed fashionably and beautifully and did not have work cards on their bodies.

"That's because I'm the boss, but I'm not in charge of specific affairs, regardless of them," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Also, I'm a star, very famous in China, of course they like me!"

"Alright, it's here!" Dean was about to say something, but found Xiao Yao stop and pushed open a door.

"Rick, your old friend has arrived, how are your clothes?" Xiao Yao shouted after entering the door.

"Kim!" With a happy cry, a young man ran over excitedly.

"Rick, long time no see!" Zhou Jingyi also greeted happily and gave the young man a big hug.

When Zhou Jingyi and Ruihe were hugging, Xiao Yao looked around and beckoned to the two young women in the room.

"Okay!" After Zhou Jingyi and Rick separated, Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "You two want to catch up, you should have a lot of time, let's get down to business first!"

"Let me introduce you," Xiao Yao said, pointing to one of the two young women who walked over, "This is Pei Minyi, you should have all seen it." But she's not my assistant anymore, she's a stylist, and she's in charge of your makeup and hairstyle this time. ”

Pei Minyi has already created her own studio, and this time she was hired by Xiao Yao in a cooperative way.

"This is Qiao Shan, the chief designer of our brand, and her and Rick are in charge of your dress. Xiao Yao pointed to another young woman.

"This is Kimberly Zhou, this is Sarmyon Smith, this is..."Xiao Yao introduced Zhou Jingyi and the others again.

Rick used to be a member of the "Riptide Dance Troupe", and when he participated in the National Street Dance Competition, he had contact with all four members of the band. When Pei Minyi was Xiao Yao's makeup artist and personal assistant, she participated in the finals of "Singer" and also participated in the shooting of parkour movies, so she is also very familiar with Zhou Jingyi and the four members of the band.

Although the lighting costumes on the band's band in the finals of "Singer" that year came from Xiao Yao's brand studio, the costumes for that performance were only five coats and jackets, not to mention tailor-made. When Xiao Yao took the band members to visit the studio, he met Qiao Shan, but there was no communication. As for Zhou Jingyi, Qiao Shan saw it for the first time. So in this introduction, Xiao Yao mainly introduced Qiao Shan to Zhou Jingyi and others.

"Sister Xi is here?" After the people on both sides exchanged pleasantries and got to know each other, Xiao Yao confirmed to Qiao Shan again in a low voice.

"Here, those people are here too!" Qiao Shan nodded.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded, and said to Zhou Jingyi and the others, "The three of them are responsible for the dressing of your attendance at the award ceremony, if you have any problems, please communicate with the three of them to solve them." I need to get away for a while!"

"Where are you going?" Dean asked.

"It's right here, it's just another room," Xiao Yao said, "In addition to you today, there are also some Chinese celebrities who want to try on dresses here." Those people's dresses are also made by our brand, and now Yin is entertaining them, I need to go over and have a look, meet them, and say hello to them!"

"Try on dresses here too?" Zhou Jingyi asked, "It's such a coincidence, can't it be for tomorrow night's awards ceremony?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "It's indeed the dress to attend the awards ceremony tomorrow night!"

"So you didn't just prepare a dress for us for the awards ceremony!" Dean said.

"It's not me, it's us!" Xiao Yao corrected first, "It's me and Yin's fashion brands that make dresses and design styles for you, as well as Pei's studio, not me!"

"Also," Xiao Yao continued, "your dresses don't cost money, but those people's dresses cost money! The people who spend money to customize our brand dresses are our customers." The customer is God, as the boss, can I put you aside for a while and go and meet my gods first?"

"The customer is God?" Zhou Jingyi smiled, "You are worthy of being the boss of many companies, you really look like a businessman!"

"I'm originally a businessman!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I sell musical instruments, song copyrights, film and television copyrights, I sell so many things, what is not a businessman?" All I care about is how much those things sell for and how I can make those things sell for more money. I don't do much compared to the average businessman. ”

"Most of the reason those people come to us for custom dresses is because of me," Xiao Yao concluded, "and in this case, I had to go over and meet them!"

"Okay, merchant, we won't delay you to do business!" Zhou Jingyi smiled.
