Bai Wenyu raised his head, "Sister, you guys go, I won't go with you." ”

"Why don't you go again?" Bai Wenyan said strangely: "Didn't you say that you would go together?

As he spoke, he looked at Li Xi, as if he wanted to get confirmation from Li Xi's mouth.

Bai Wenyu smiled, "I suddenly remembered something, I have to hurry over and do it, it has nothing to do with Li Xi." ”

"Oh!" Bai Wenyan was skeptical.

When Bai Wenyu was sent away, Bai Wenyan couldn't help but ask Li Xi again, "Li Xi, did you say something to Xiaoyu?"

"It's nothing, it should be true. "Where will Li Xi admit it.

Although in his mind, the reason why Bai Wenyu left was mostly because of his persuasion just now.

"Oh!" Bai Wenyan stared at Li Xi suspiciously for a moment, trying to see something from Li Xi's expression. But Li Xi's expression was calm, and Bai Wenyan looked at it for a while, obviously failing.

"Then let's go. ”

The three of them got into the car, and Bai Wenyan drove the car towards the destination of the trip. After about half an hour, stop outside a large hotel.

Li Xi looked up at the name of this hotel, and saw the words Ruyi Hotel.

Ruyi Hotel, this name seems to be a little familiar, Li Xi frowned slightly, but he couldn't remember where he had heard of it.

"Got in. Bai Wenyan carried the packaging bag of the dress and greeted Li Xi.

"Okay. Li Xi hesitated for a moment, and then followed Bai Wenyan in.

"Uncle!" the little girl Ding Doudou called out to Li Xi softly, and her little hand took Li Xi's hand.

Li Xi pulled Ding Doudou and followed Bai Wenyan to the hotel.

"Welcome!" several beautiful women bowed at the door.

The three of them walked in, and another waiter greeted them, "Welcome to Ruyi Hotel, have you booked a room?"

"Oh!" Bai Wenyan said, "I'm looking for Miss Chen Yan." ”

"Looking for Sister Chen, you're a fashion designer, right?" the waitress suddenly realized, "Please come with me." ”

With Bai Wenyan, he walked towards the elevator, and when he entered the elevator, Li Xi saw the waitress pressing the sign on the third floor.

The elevator began to ascend, and in a moment, it reached the third floor. The waitress took the three of them and walked to the outside of room 302, stretched out her hand and pushed, and the door opened, it was a hall, and there were already more than a dozen people in the hall.

Seeing Li Xi and the others, maybe because they didn't know each other, they all turned their heads again.

"Please sit down for a while, Sister Chen will be here soon. The waitress beckoned Li Xi in.

This hall is obviously a hall for entertaining, although there are already more than a dozen people, but there are still a lot of seats left in the room.

Li Xi found that Bai Wenyan didn't seem to have any intention of having contact with other people, so he deliberately chose a separate seat from others to sit down, and then sat down next to Bai Wenyan. Then the little girl Ding Doudou got into it and squeezed between the two, riding on Li Xi's right leg with one leg and the other on Bai Wenyan's left leg.

The little girl moved around the two of them, causing their thighs to rub from time to time.

The two of them were embarrassed, but they were very wise and neither said it, so as not to bring more embarrassment.

The waitress took out three disposable cups and placed them in front of the three people, "There is water in the water dispenser." ”

Then he left on his own.

Li Xi had time to look at these people in the room, but although there were more than a dozen of these people who arrived early, they were obviously divided into four groups.

These four groups of people, each group of people, have a set of well-packaged clothes in their hands. Obviously, they are all the same as Bai Wenyan, they are fashion designers.

At this point, Li Xi can see that this is obviously someone who wants to make a dress, and at the same time found several fashion designers, planning to choose the most suitable one from the clothes designed by these fashion designers.

And these costume designers, after designing the costume, send it to the door, waiting for the person who made the costume to evaluate.

"So many people!" Li Xi couldn't help but feel surprised.

He found that except for Bai Wenyan, the other fashion designers were basically a group or a company. In other words, Bai Wenyan, a single fashion designer, is actually very rare.

Bai Wenyan explained to Li Xi in a low voice, "There are only four or five families, which is still a few, some are more ambitious, and if you want to participate in the banquet, the time is relatively rushed, and it is also common to find ten, eight, or even dozens of families at the same time." ”

Li Xi couldn't help but worry about these fashion designers, "To order a dress, you definitely only need one piece." With so many costumes designed by so many families, if only one piece is picked out in the end, and no one is picked, wouldn't it be a loss?"

Bai Wenyan said: "That's not too much of a loss, but it won't be profitable." In fact, before placing an order, there is usually a certain deposit, but it will not be too much, and it will be 35,000 yuan. ”

"Thirty thousand, fifty thousand?" Li Xi couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it. It can be said that before he obtained the Divine Tree Treasure Book, the number of 30,000 or 50,000 was really not small.

Especially when so much money is just a set of money for a dress.

"This amount is not too small, how can it be compensated?" Li Xiqi said.

"Hehe!" Bai Wenyan smiled softly, leaned over, and explained to Li Xi in a low voice, "These costume designers or clothing design companies that have been invited are at least famous. If you design a set of clothes casually, you have to sell them for more than 100,000 yuan. Therefore, their time is quite precious, and after receiving such an order, they may have to be busy for a month, or even longer. For such a long time, a company, everyone was busy for a month, and in the end there was only 30,000 or 50,000 yuan in income, do you say it was a loss?"

Li Xi was even more strange, "I know that I will lose, why do I have to come? I mean, there are always people who know that their design ability is insufficient, right?"

"If you feel that you can't do it, you just don't take such an order. It's just that for any designer, or design company, any customer who can customize a dress is an extremely valuable resource, once you push the list, you may never find you or your company to design a dress in the future. ”

Bai Wenyan patiently explained, "Think about it, how many dresses can really be customized in a city? Losing any of them is a huge loss. ”

"That's right. When Li Xi heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

Bai Wenyan continued: "Therefore, many times, knowing that the dress they design may not be able to win in the competition, everyone will also accept such an order. And once selected, the income is also unusually lucrative. Take this time as an example, this dress, if it is successfully selected, will get 1.3 million. ”

"The value of this dress is 1.3 million?" Li Xi couldn't help but look at the wrapped dress in Bai Wenyan's hand.

Although I have long heard Bai Wenyan say that the value of a good dress may reach tens of millions, or even tens of millions, but seeing with his own eyes that the dress designed by Bai Wenyan turned out to be a dress worth millions, Li Xi still had a shocking feeling in his heart.

It's just an ordinary piece of clothing, and at best it's a little better-made. Its value has reached millions, I really think it is a seamless heavenly clothes that grow on the treasure clothes tree in the treasure book, neon clothes and feather clothes?

No wonder it is always said in books that the rich have one meal, and the poor have ten years.

Where is this ten-year income? This piece of clothing, if Li Xi did not get the treasure book, relying on his salary alone, at least let him not eat or drink, and save money for thirty years.

Bai Wenyan smiled and said modestly: "Whether you can be favored by others is not certain." After a pause, he said, "Thanks to your buttons, I was already planning to give up the dress design this time, and I was ready to go to the country of turnips that day." It's just that you tore up my ticket, and I happened to see so many beautiful buttons in your house, so I changed my mind and redesigned this dress. If it weren't for your buttons, even if I wanted to design it, it wouldn't have been too late. ”

"Hehe!" Li Xi smiled: "Although the buttons are good, you also need to know how to design." If you don't know how to design, you won't be able to make decent clothes if you have empty buttons. ”

Bai Wenyan smiled softly at Li Xi.

Li Xi thought for a while, and then asked: "Which one is the one that makes the dress? Why does the name of this hotel feel familiar here?" ”

"Isn't it?" Bai Wenyan was a little surprised, "You don't know this?"

"What?" Li Xi smiled, "This hotel is very famous?"

"Looks like you really don't know. Bai Wenyan looked at the alien with an expression on his face, staring at Li Xi, "This is the hotel opened by Yan Ruyi." ”

"Yan Ruyi. Li Xi suddenly came to his senses, "It turned out to be a hotel opened by her, no wonder there is a very familiar feeling." ”

Yan Ruyi is a female star, Yan Ruyi is a stage name, as for what her real name is, when Li Xi was still a poor D silk before, he paid attention to it for a while, and then he had the Divine Tree Treasure Book, but he was so busy that he rarely even surfed the Internet and watched TV.

For these gossips, I naturally forgot about it.

Even Li Xi himself felt very strange, when he was a poor D silk in the past, from time to time, he would YY these big stars.

Now that he has money and a high status, he is enough to make any female star kneel and lick, but he has lost interest in these female stars.

"So, the dress she designed is also what she is going to wear?" asked Li Xi.

"Of course. Bai Wenyan said with a smile, "Otherwise, how could she send the dress to her hotel?"

Li Xi nodded, but he was puzzled: "I'm surprised, why are these female stars participating in such a banquet for?"

Bai Wenyan said: "Participating in the banquet must be beneficial." In fact, all people in high society, attending banquets, have benefits. For these female stars, the benefits are even greater, getting to know a few more rich people and accumulating more contacts. Maybe there is a rich man who suddenly wants to get involved in the film industry, invest in a movie, and choose a heroine, wouldn't he have a natural advantage. ”

"And that's not all. The key thing is that these female celebrities attend banquets, which are usually invited by the rich. ”

"Invited by the rich man?" Li Xi felt even more strange.

Bai Wenyan explained with a smile, "Let's take an example, for example, if you are Bill and you see Qiao Gang Leader at the banquet, will you take the initiative to run to the other party's side and introduce yourself without being introduced by the host: Qiao Gang Leader, get to know me, I am Bill like this?"

"How is it possible?" Li Xi vetoed.

In fact, don't talk about these rich people with high social status. Even as an ordinary person, if it weren't for his own needs, just in the past, Li Xi rarely took the initiative to run to the other party's side and introduce himself when he saw another man.

Showing politeness is usually a nod at the other person when you meet.

Because taking the initiative to introduce your own results, it is really a loss of S. Although at that time, his status was really not very high.

Bai Wenyan said with a smile: "This situation is actually very common at banquets. Unless you consider yourself to be inferior to the other party, or really ask for the other person, otherwise, few people will take the initiative to introduce themselves to the other party. ”

"Especially in the West, it will be considered a very rude thing, on the one hand, it seems that it is not self-respecting, and on the other hand, it is easy to make people look down on themselves. ”

Li Xi nodded, he could fully understand what Bai Wenyan said later.

But Bai Wenyan said again: "But a gentleman greeting a young and beautiful woman will not make people think it is rude." Or a young and beautiful woman, greeting a gentleman, will not make people feel abrupt. The person who is greeted will even think that it is a very face-saving thing. ”

When Li Xi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He suddenly realized what Bai Wenyan wanted to say.

Bai Wenyan said: "For example, if A wants to develop a certain project, but needs B's help, but he and B don't know each other, what should I do? What if I know in advance that B is going to a certain banquet?"

"A rich man, if he takes the initiative to invite a female star to a banquet with him. Its purpose is usually very simple, that is, to let this female star help herself introduce and meet someone or certain people at the banquet through communication means. ”

And the rich man who is known can't be uninterested in this female star. If you don't have interest, it's hard to get things done. So before attending the banquet, if you don't know the preferences of this rich man, you can only try your best to dress up carefully, in order to attract the other party. ”

Bai Wenyan's words suddenly reminded Li Xi of the word courtesan.

In terms of human communication, these people are really hollowing out.

During this period of time, the waiter brought two more groups of people in. In the room, a total of seven groups of people gathered, that is, seven design companies or designers.

After another ten minutes, the door opened. A young woman who didn't look very old, Li Xi estimated that she was about twenty-two or three years old, walked into the room with a few people. (To be continued.) )
