Chapter 184: The Dinner Party (4)
"I know you've always said you don't like politics the most, but you live abroad.
It should be the clearest of the true meaning of the word motherland.
For example, today's dinner, if there is no economically strong motherland behind it, if there is no super large order ready to be signed, where will it be possible to invite so many design masters.
It is said that it is a designer dinner, but in fact, the protagonist of today is not the designer, but the brand directors of all walks of life.
China's luxury market has been leading the world in recent years.
The directors of these luxury brands came to the dinner mainly to get more support and make their brands have a better development in China.
Otherwise, who is interested in pressuring the design director of their own brand to communicate with China's cutting-edge designers?" Lei Lili analyzed as he walked on the way to the banquet with Yan Yun.
It was the first time Yan Yun had seen Lei Thunderbolt analyze a problem with such a tone and angle, which was very serious, very diplomatic, and in place.
Yan Yun looked at Lei Thunderbolt, and then smiled.
Yan Yun didn't know where Lei Li's words just now hit her laughter, whether it was her expression, tone or content, or a combination of the three.
Yan Yun smiled heartily, but Lei Lili was a little confused by Yan Yun's laughter.
"Is there something wrong?" Lei Thunderbolt has never been able to figure out Yan Yun's points, and he has been like this since he was in college.
Lei Lili couldn't understand why Yan Yun was laughing at this moment, just like he never understood what Yan Yun's next reason for rejecting him would be.
But who says that laughter must have a reason? Laughter is not necessary, and rejection is not necessary.
"Something must be wrong.
I don't know Italian, and then people get disgusted to hear me speak English.
Under such a premise, you still asked me not to stay away.
Is that what to do? Can I speak Chinese with the director?" Yan Yun thought for a moment, and reluctantly thought of a reason why he had just laughed like that.
"Yes, you can say hello in Italian and then speak Chinese. Lei Thunderbolt tried not to let Yan Yun lead himself crookedly.
Lei Lili felt that only by putting himself in a more serious and professional state could he let his thoughts about liking Yan Yun not be so obvious.
"You said earlier that people are very talented in language, and Chinese is also very good, isn't it over?" Yan Yun's tone of talking to Lei Thunderbolt now is a bit back to the way he was when he was in college.
Yan Yun's implication was to say that things that can be solved in Chinese, why should they be nagging for a long time.
"The brand director doesn't speak Chinese. Lei Thunderbolt corrected Yan Yun's misunderstanding.
"Ah? Is the brand director a cow? Are you asking me to play the piano to a cow or what? You asked me to speak Chinese to an Italian who doesn't know Chinese?" Yan Yun was even more confused by Lei Li's explanation.
"You speak Chinese to him, and I'll translate it for you. Lei Thunderbolt told Yan Yun the solution.
"Is it necessary to be so tired? I said sorry to the person, and then said that I only spoke English and Chinese, and asked him if he could communicate in English, wouldn't it be good?" Yan Yun began to feel a little speechless.
"If you speak English to the brand director in Italy, you won't get any response from him. "Lei Thunderbolt is specifically looking for someone to understand the actual situation.
"Ah, such an exaggeration, if I hadn't been escorted by diplomats, would I have been kicked out today?"
"It's good if you speak Chinese, as long as you know enough about the Ferragamo brand you are going to intern at, and when the director himself starts to communicate with you in English, it will be considered your success." "Thunderbolt's "diplomatic intelligence" is very detailed.
"Don't you have any other official business to deal with?" Yan Yun looked at Lei Thunderbolt with a little confusion.
Judging from Yan Yun's perception of public servants, Lei Lili shouldn't have had time to stay by her side tonight to translate for her.
"I'm almost done with my business, and when I'm done translating, I'll see if there are any tables, chairs, stools, or anything I need to deal with. When Lei Lili said this, his originally very serious face smiled unconsciously, he was probably infected by Yan Yun's smile just now.
"Then what's going on? When you went back and you were halfway through your translation, you were taken over by the tables, chairs, and stools, so I don't have to start using sign language to communicate with people?" Yan Yun's normal speaking style is completely incompatible with the style of the clothes she is wearing at the moment.
"No, I just confirmed, the director who brought you, there will be about 20 minutes to arrive, listen to the design director, she is quite satisfied with the shoes and portfolio you sent over, and when she arrives, it should also create some opportunities for you." Lei Lili seems to know more about what the design director thinks of her than Yan Yun.
On the other hand, Yan Yun was confused, did the information provided by Lei Thunderbolt really belong to the category of diplomacy?
If so, then the meticulousness of these intelligence collections is too amazing.
Even if it didn't happen suddenly, even if there was more time for Yan Yun to study on her own, it would be impossible for her to understand the relationships and preferences of these characters so clearly.
For today's banquet of this level, Yan Yun felt that he was still too tender.
Fortunately, because Yan Yun has been targeted since he was a child, he has a much stronger psychological quality than ordinary people, and the word "stage fright" is also not in Yan Yun's dictionary.
…………………………
When I first met the brand director, after Yan Yun greeted him in Italian, he did feel a powerful aura of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
When Thunderbolt helped explain that Yan Yun came to Florence because he liked Ferragamo, and was about to intern at Ferragamo's shoe department, the director's rejection became even more obvious.
He came to the dinner today in the hope of reaching some agreement with the people of the clothing association, not to greet the interns, and the phrase "I came to Florence because I like Ferragamo" sounds a bit fake.
When I met him, there were no more designers who said that they liked Ferragamo and wanted to work at Ferragamo.
Those who have gone shopping and bought a pair of shoes from the brand also say that they like Ferragamo.
But the definition of such a liking is a little too broad, and the brand director has long disdained to talk to such people.
Now that they have already managed to get an internship at Ferragamo, there is no need to look for him, and he is not in charge of the design in the first place.
If the brand director knew that Yan Yun entered the Salvatore Ferragamo internship through the "back door", he might be interested in understanding this back door more clearly.
In this situation, the director has no interest in talking at all, and every year there are designers who go to Ferragamo for internships, and in the end, very few can stay.
It's just that because Thunderbolt speaks Italian, the brand director is not in the habit of not responding to Italian in Italy.
The brand director gave Yan Yun a question that sounded very simple, but in fact the rejection was very obvious and difficult to answer.
After Lei Pili translated it, Yan Yun knew the question asked by the director: Which Ferragamo shoes do you like so much that you want to come to Florence?
