More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Lu Yan only made an announcement, and the rest of the time was either reading the script at home and pondering the role, or honing his acting skills in the company, exercising his finger dexterity, and of course, there was also fitness that could not be relaxed at any time. The frequency of announcements is comparable to that of the previous two years, but the mentality and treatment are completely different.

Han Tao, who was promoted from assistant to assistant manager, is also proud, although his career has taken a big step forward, he is often so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, and he doesn't even have time to accompany his girlfriend, but this kind of pressure and busyness makes him feel fulfilled and motivated. In particular, he was able to get guidance from ICM's former agent director, but for the most part, it was Maddie who took him.

The XX magazine fashion cocktail party on June 23 is another item on Lu Yan's itinerary this month. As one of the top fashion magazines, the annual dinner is also a double carnival of the fashion circle and the entertainment industry, because the senior management of various entertainment companies, the senior management of major brands in China, and many stars in the literary and artistic circles will be invited to participate, the threshold is not low, and the scope of invitation is also very limited, especially the restrictions on the invited stars, not only to be popular and famous, but also to have enough fashion sense - of course, if there are connections, then it is easy to cross this threshold.

When Lu Yan was popular, he also participated twice, but unfortunately, after the "plagiarism door" turmoil, he never received an invitation letter again, and the quota that Ren Wei worked hard to win naturally fell on Xue Zhitao's head.

After two years, this drinking party appeared on the itinerary again, and Lu Yan's mood was a little excited, but what made him excited was not the drinking party itself, but the female companion who attended the drinking party with him and stood beside him - it was Qiao An.

Early in the morning, he was taken to beauty, maintenance, and styling, and Han Tao even crossed the distance of half a city, and took Qiao An's specially customized outfits for Lu Yan, from head to toe, from inside to out, each piece is handmade and high-end. When Han Tao learned that the price of this handmade suit was approaching seven figures, it was like holding a tribute to be presented to the emperor, for fear that he would spoil something.

However, he was also a little surprised: "Didn't you say that Gaoding should be half a year in advance? At least it will take two or three months, right? But we signed a contract with Mr. Qiao, that is, this month! Moreover, the measurement is also last week......

Lu Yan couldn't help but think of Qiao An's words again, "I must sign you, I will definitely sign you", and did not explain to Han Tao, but judging from his expression, it was difficult to hide the happiness bubbling up. It must have been booked in advance by Joan, and she came to measure the size last week, so it should only be the final adjustment.

However, when he changed his clothes, he noticed the high-end brand, and his heart moved slightly - the high-end brand from the United Kingdom is one of the sources of Gu Huai's daily high-end clothing, I don't know if it's a coincidence.

The atmosphere of the reception is relatively relaxed, because most of the people who can receive invitations are not low-status people, and relationships are more important than fame, and those heavyweight bosses in the entertainment industry, the heads of high-end brands in China, and the executives of mainstream media are basically old friends who know each other, so this will be more like a gathering of friends. The few new faces who were piggybacking on and wanted to break into this circle were also vaccinated in advance by the owner who had the invitation, so as not to make jokes.

Approaching eight o'clock, Lu Yan arrived at the reception site.

There is no red carpet and no paparazzi guns and guns – because this is where the big bosses of the paparazzi meet. However, there were still reporters taking pictures at the venue.

Lu Yan wears a classic black suit with a white shirt, which only feels very gentlemanly from a distance, and can vaguely see the dark lines on the suit and shirt when you look closely, which is low-key and textured. No tie, no buttons in the suit, naturally open, in the sweltering June, this dress is formal and refreshing, with his fluffy and slightly curly black hair, a different British taste.

Joan arrived a little earlier than him, and when she saw him coming, she naturally took him by the arm and walked side by side with him.

Tonight, Joan's outfit was not much different from her usual low-key and casual nature, and even for such a reception, she didn't choose a dress like other women. The upper body is a simple black crewneck shirt, but the neckline has a copper totem like a phoenix bathing in fire, and the lower body is khaki wide-leg pants, which are clean and neat, and there are no special decorations.

Handsome men and beautiful women stand together, always particularly eye-catching.

Lu Yan asked Qiao An in a low voice, "Why are you ...... Not in a tuxedo?"

Joan gave the answer neatly: "No, trouble." Why doesn't it look good?"

But in fact, the most important reason is that Joan has a not-so-good memory of dresses. She used to wear a high-end dress skirt and accompany Nabel to a high-end cocktail party, but she was regarded as a small artist seeking a top position by several investors who were not long-sighted, and her words were frivolous and explicit.

From then on, even on important occasions, she was dressed as an elite and did not let people misjudge her.

Of course, if there is a misjudgment in time, she also has a certain strength to be able to fight back - such as the first few nouveau riche investors who were not long-sighted, and they all ended up bankrupt.

However, Lu Yan didn't know about these things.

Lu Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing, which made Qiao An a little unhappy, and quickly explained: "No, no, no, it's good-looking, it's very good-looking." ”

Qiao An smiled: "You are also very handsome!"

The smile on Lu Yan's face suddenly brightened, and his back became straighter.

"I said, can you two not blow each other in business?" Su Jue, dressed in a white suit and pretending to hold a glass of red wine in his hand, walked up to them in a hurry, followed by a female artist full of anticipation and flattery.

"Mr. Qiao, Brother Lu. The little girl was quite clever and sweet-mouthed, and greeted them respectfully.

She looks good, and she is a newcomer who has recently begun to invest resources in Juexing, but her face has been slightly facelifted, so that she has no amazing features, and she can't leave a too obvious impression among the beauties.

Qiao An replied with a friendly smile, didn't say anything, just leaned into Su Jue's ear and said to him in a low voice: "Miao Miao is also here, don't conflict with her." ”

Su Jue snorted lightly, with a bit of arrogance in his tone: "Sister, you are so humorous! How is it possible? I am the CEO of an entertainment company, of course I will not be as knowledgeable as a small editor of a fashion magazine!"

Joan: "......"

Joan: They didn't arrive too early, and about half of the invited guests had already arrived at the venue, accompanied by soothing soft music, shaking champagne or red wine, and chatting with acquaintances.
