There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that there were two more students of the same department standing outside the door that day. Within two days, rumors began to spread in the Department of Philosophy that Zhu Jianbin had a corrupt private life and was a modern Chen Shimei was known by the head of the department, and the director was very angry and decided to let his daughter break up with him.

Although universities are among the most open and avant-garde places in society, they are still very sensitive to such relationships between men and women, especially substantive ones. At the beginning of the school year, the grade and department counselors have also emphasized that the school hopes that students can devote their energy to their studies and does not advocate falling in love on campus. Zhu Jianbin was originally a popular figure on campus, not to mention such a powerful scandal. At first, it was only circulated in the department, but it soon spread outside the department. A few days later, the counselor also talked to Zhu Jianbin , and after the conversation, it came out that his publicly-funded study abroad quota that was already coming down was also re-entered the evaluation stage.

Anna went to class as usual, went to the reading room to eat and drink with the eldest sisters in the same dormitory, and counted down the days when the Chinese army came back. This night, I came back a little late from self-study, there were fewer people on the road, and a northeastern sister surnamed Yu in the same dormitory walked together, and when I was about to go downstairs in the dormitory, a person suddenly came out from behind the street lamp, pointed to Anna and said, "You stop for me!"

Anna recognized it at a glance, this person was Zhu Jianbin who she hadn't seen for a few days.

She had expected him to look for her, and she was not surprised at all and stopped.

Sister Yu knew Zhu Jianbin and heard about him two days ago, and she talked to several sisters in the bedroom with disdain. I just didn't know it had anything to do with Anna. Seeing Zhu Jianbin suddenly come out like a ghost, with a menacing appearance, he glanced at Anna and asked, "Are you okay? Why is this person suddenly looking for you?

Everyone has been in the same bedroom for such a while, and the eldest sisters see that Anna is young, enthusiastic, respectful to the big guys, usually generous, and they all share the fruits and snacks they buy, and they all like her very much, and they take good care of her.

"It's okay, sister, don't worry. Anna said, "You go first." I'll hear what he's going to do. ”

Sister Yu looked at Zhu Jianbin again and said, "Then I'll wait for you in front." Just shout if you have something. "After that, he left.

"What's going on with that tape? How could Director Zhu know about Li Mei's colleague's phone number? Is it all that you designed to deliberately harm me?"

As soon as Sister Yu left, Zhu Jianbin forced Anna and asked through gritted teeth.

"Why did you just come to ask me?" said Anna coldly, "I thought you should have come the next day!"

"You stinky......"

Zhu Jianbin scolded, but before he finished scolding, he snapped, and one side of his face was slapped heavily by Anna.

"I slapped Li Mei for me. ”

Anna pinched her painful palm, and when Zhu Jianbin was stunned and didn't come back to her senses, she raised her hand and slapped it again.

"This slap, I slapped for Li Mei's aunt! You shameless thing! Don't say that if you fall to this point, even if you die a hundred times, you are not worth Li Mei's life!"

Zhu Jianbin covered his face and glared at Anna.

"What did you say?

"Do you still think that she is really going to join her relatives now? Scolding you brute is insulting brute! Do you know that she was pregnant and abandoned by you, and on the way to find her aunt, she couldn't think of untying her shoelaces and hanged herself in the toilet of the train station? Zhu Jianbin , when you were going to college here with peace of mind and chasing other women and thinking about how to study abroad to earn a future, did you ever think of Li Mei in your heart? You really don't feel the slightest guilt?

Zhu Jianbin stared wide-eyed and froze in place.

“…… She...... Did she kill herself?"

"I helped her with the aftermath. Her ashes are now with her aunt as well. Zhu Jianbin, if I tell Aunt Li Mei the news that you are still alive and well here, I dare to conclude that she will immediately come to you to settle accounts. What is it to be kicked away by your mentor who recognizes your true face? What is it to be ridiculed by the people around you behind your back? Do you believe that she hates you to the bone and will drag you to the public security bureau? What will be the consequences when the time comes, I really feel relieved to think about it. Just wait for me!"

After Anna finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Zhu Jianbin froze in place.

Something like this happened suddenly a few days ago, and his first reaction was that he was cheated by this woman named Anna, who had just been in contact for a few days. Under the resentment, she finally seized this opportunity just now, and she originally wanted to vent her anger and give her a good look, but she didn't expect to learn from her that Li Mei had committed suicide and died.

Once human life is involved, the matter is even more serious. In case as she threatened, Aunt Li Mei really came over and wanted to pay for her life, or even made trouble with the Public Security Bureau, even if she came out in the end, her reputation would be completely ruined.

Zhu Jianbin hurriedly rushed forward, grabbed Anna's arm from behind, and pleaded: "Please, Anna! Don't tell her aunt! I was wrong! I knew I was damned! I didn't expect her to think of suicide ......."

"You let go of me!"

Anna shook him off in disgust.

"Anna-" Zhu Jianbin didn't give up, pleading and entangled.

Sister Yu was waiting not far in front of her, she had actually been listening to Anna and Zhu Jianbin talking with her ears pricked up just now, and she vaguely heard a rough idea, and was surprised that the girl who was abandoned by Zhu Jianbin committed suicide. Seeing that Zhu Jianbin was still chasing Anna at this time, the two were fighting, thinking that he was going to be unfavorable to Anna.

Sister Yu was originally short-tempered, usually so angry, she couldn't help but run over to Zhu Jianbin and slap Zhu Jianbin on the head, and scolded: "I'll call you Chen Shimei! Call you Chen Shimei! Tell you to find our Xiao An's stubble! Why don't I beat you to death!"

Sister Yu is quite strong, and one person is as big as two Annas, and her strength is naturally not comparable to Anna. With a slap of the face, Zhu Jianbin was Humeng, and immediately let go of the hand that was holding Anna.

Sister Yu was still angry, while scolding, she continued to beat Zhu Jianbin seven or eight times, Zhu Jianbin didn't dare to fight back, and finally was beaten and squatted on the ground just holding her head, Anna saw this, stopped Sister Yu, Sister Yu stopped, gasped and said: "I haven't been so angry for a long time! I'm so angry! Who is this, and the student president!

Anna glanced at Zhu Jianbin who was still squatting on the ground, held back the disgust welling up in her heart, and pulled Sister Yu to turn around and leave.

In the next few days, Anna didn't see Zhu Jianbin anymore, and it is said that he took a sick leave and resigned from the student union, so he should have temporarily left the school to avoid the limelight.

……

Soon it was another weekend, and Anna remembered the invitation of Ms. Song that day, and really wanted to see the still alive Master Wan Man, and the atmosphere there was quite to her liking, so she dressed up and passed.

When she arrived, she stood in the doorway and looked in.

Maxim's Restaurant hung a sign that was closed tonight, and through the glass door, you could see that the lights were shining inside, as if a lot of people had come. There were also people next to her who were going in one after another, and they all had very delicate-looking invitations in their hands.

Anna reported her name to the doorman, saying that Madame Song had invited her last week. The doorman was surprised to know her name, and with a smile on his face, he made a gesture of invitation, saying that Madame Song had specifically mentioned to him that if she came, he would invite her in.

Anna thanked the doorman and walked in.

The carpet on the floor in the middle of the restaurant has been removed to expose the floor, and a catwalk has been temporarily erected in the middle, and tables and chairs have also been moved to both sides of the catwalk, as if it were a small show.

The show hasn't started yet. But there were already many guests at the scene. It seems that they are all celebrities in the capital, from all walks of life. There are people who are engaged in art and music, and there are also people who look like successful businessmen or officials. Waiters with bow ties carry cocktail trays up and down the hall to serve drinks to guests. Ms. Song, dressed in fancy clothes, was standing on the side of the catwalk and chatting and laughing with a few guests, and a foreigner with a beard stood on the side.

Anna recognized it at a glance, this foreigner was Master Wanman.

Anna took a cocktail from the tray of the waiter who passed by her, paused to the side, and looked at the couple who seemed to have their own light source.

Ms. Song soon spotted Anna, raised her glass to her, said a few words to the person next to her, and walked over to Anna with her husband.

Anna smiled and greeted her. After a few pleasantries, Ms. Song smiled and introduced Anna to her husband, who did not speak Chinese, in French, saying that she recognized his unsigned carpet work as soon as she came to the restaurant that day, and she felt that she was very close to this young girl, so she specially invited her to come over at night to participate in this party, and introduced him to him by the way.

Wan Man, a gentle, very personable old gentleman, listened to his wife's introduction, smiled, and greeted Anna in a Chinese that was not very fluent, and Anna smiled and said in French: "You can speak French with me." I love your work very much, with your unique strong personal style that blends Eastern and Western aesthetics. You are undoubtedly a master of contemporary mural art, and more and more people will surely appreciate your work in the future. If you don't take the liberty, can I ask you to sign it for me? Even if I can foresee your beautiful wife's party tonight being dazzling, I have to say that getting your autograph is my main purpose tonight. ”

Wan Man was stunned for a moment, glanced at his wife, and then laughed happily.

Anna handed over a pre-purchased copy of Wanman's book and a Parker pen and asked him to sign the title page.

Wan Man took the pen, signed his name on the title page, and handed it back.

Anna took it with both hands, smiled and thanked her, and put the book and pen back in her bag. The three of them continued to talk for a moment. The topic revolves around a series of modern art related to Wan Man.

Anna doesn't say much, but every sentence is appropriate, showing her insight into this area and her excellent personal artistic accomplishment. Speaking of later, not only Ms. Song, but even Wan Man began to show appreciation for Anna, and nodded frequently in approval. Finally, when she learned that Anna had studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, she was appreciative.

"Sister Song, such a beautiful young lady who can talk to my brother-in-law, why don't you introduce it to me?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

Anna turned her head to take a look, and saw a man of the same age as Lu Zhongjun walking over, quite tall, and his facial features were also handsome. Anna guessed that his background should be similar to that of Lu Zhongjun. But unlike Lu Zhongjun, this person looked at a pompous oil and gas, which made her feel not very good.

In fact, as soon as she came in just now, she noticed this man. At that time, I was holding a glass of wine and laughing with a few beautiful girls who looked like film and television models when they dressed up.

When Ms. Song heard the voice, she also turned her head with a smile on her face. When the man stood on the side, he said with a smile: "Anna, let me introduce you, this third son of the Fan family, one of the four young people in the capital." is famous and suave, I don't know how many girls have broken my heart!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Sister Song, I scared this Miss Anna, I want to find you!"

The man seemed to be very familiar with Ms. Song, smiled, and took the initiative to extend his hand to Anna with a little courtesy, "Fan Ming." Miss Anna, who is also a model in my Sister Song's company? I don't think I've seen you before. There are not many models like you who are so good-looking that my artist brother-in-law can't stop talking!"

Anna smiled, reached out her fingertips and touched the hand he had handed him a little, and then took it back, maintaining the reserved demeanor of a stranger who didn't have a very good instinct when she first met.

Ms. Song smiled: "Stop talking nonsense. She came to B University for further study, and she met me by chance, and she felt that she was very close to each other, so she invited her to join the party. I have studied and lived in Paris, USA, and I have come out of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and I have seen the world. Don't say I didn't warn you, don't take your old routine to get close, save yourself from being ridiculous and generous. ”

Fan Ming immediately put away the exaggerated color just now, his eyes fell intently on Anna's face, who had not spoken much, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry Miss Anna." I said, I was also strange just now, where is there a model with such outstanding temperament as you. Those people in Sister Song's company all learned from Sister Song how to eat Western food with knives and forks from Sister Song at the beginning. There was a lot of offense just now, Miss Anna, please don't be surprised. ”

Anna smiled. "Mr. Fan, you're polite. ”

……

The fashion show was about to start, most of the guests were already seated, and two foreign photographers also moved their guys to stand on both sides of the catwalk. Someone came to call Ms. Song, who apologized to Anna and left for the backstage.

Mr. Wanman was a gentleman, and knew that Anna didn't know much about the rest of the people here tonight. Invite her to sit with you. Anna thanked him and sat down with him. That Fan Minh had been standing far away at first, but then he had also taken a seat, and sat not far from Anna, who had occasionally turned back several times to meet the gaze he was looking at her.

Accompanied by music, models wearing heavy makeup began to walk out of the runway wearing fashions that blended modern and classical Chinese charm.

Mr. Wan Man told Anna that tonight's show was part of a large-scale fashion show that his wife had been preparing for a long time, focusing on the costumes of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The rest is still in preparation. She is ambitious, and when the preparations are complete, she will bring the whole show to Paris, France, to show the world the beauty of classical Chinese clothing. He himself is very supportive of this.

Anna expressed her sincere admiration to Mr. Wanman.

The fashion show was over in about half an hour. Amid the flickering lights and warm applause, Ms. Song took the designers and models of this unit to the runway to express her gratitude to the guests. The party went on after it was over. When Anna met again with Ms. Song, she congratulated her and expressed her admiration for her grand plan.

Ms. Song said: "We are only halfway through the process, and we are still too early to finish. Especially in the cheongsam of the Qing Dynasty, the designer encountered some problems. I'm a little worried. ”

Anna's heart suddenly moved, and she continued, "Can I try to participate?"

Ms. Song was slightly stunned.

"I've done a costume design job before, so I'm interested in it. And it's a coincidence, my father took over a garment factory after changing jobs, there is an old pattern maker from the old Shanghai Beach in the factory, the craftsmanship is absolutely top, about the cheongsam, I guarantee that he is not the first in the country, dame If you believe me, I can try to design a sample for you to see when I go back. You'll talk about it after you read it. ”

"No problem! This is great! You are both Chinese and have been abroad, you should have your own views on the integration of Eastern and Western aesthetics, and you are still from art, I can't wait to see your design!"

Ms. Song looked very happy.

Anna was also very excited, she didn't expect this unexpected gain from tonight's trip.

"Thank you Madame, then I'll go back first, and I'll come back to you after the design. ”

"Yes. Next time, just come to my office. Oh yes, you can call me sister in the future, you don't have to be madame like them, madame. Ms. Song said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Song. Anna laughed.
