Chapter 420: Gala Star (II)
For Robert's seemingly "funny" joke, no one actually echoed it. There was a cold scene for a while, which made Robert, who was full of expectations, not embarrassed.
Everyone was silent for a while, and only then did a middle-aged man come out to play a round and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang has already introduced to you that he is studying at the University of Paris. Hehe...... In fact, it doesn't matter what Mr. Jiang does, the important thing is that his knowledge makes us all admire. ”
As soon as the middle-aged man's words came out, he immediately aroused the approval of the others. Everyone nodded their heads, indicating that they all agreed with him.
Unexpectedly, these acquaintances actually stood on Jiang Ping's side, and he became the object of isolation by everyone, Robert couldn't accept this fact at all, and his originally handsome face instantly turned red, and he actually looked a little hideous.
If you want to say that you are qualified to participate in this kind of party, it is natural that you will not be an ordinary person. Even if he is not a smart person, he must have been rolling in the vanity fair of the fashion circle for many years, and the priorities can still be distinguished.
Although Jiang Ping said that he was only a student at the University of Paris, just by seeing that he was so proficient in many Chinese, everyone felt that this young man was definitely not so simple. What's more, Jiang Ping's knowledge when chatting with everyone surprised everyone deeply. And his impeccable demeanor and etiquette also show that he was once well educated.
Many people are already secretly speculating that although Jiang Ping is only a student at the University of Paris on the surface, he must actually be the heir of a big family in Asia. Otherwise, Jiang Ping would never have such an amazing performance, how could ordinary children have the opportunity to come into contact with these?
At present, Asia's economic strength is getting stronger and stronger, but no one wants to offend Jiang Ping, the "heir to the big Asian family". Robert was willing to be stupid and let him go. The others don't want to be used as a gunman.
Seeing that everyone fell to the ground and praised Jiang Ping. Robert couldn't help but lose his mind a little in anger. Since some people say that Jiang Ping's knowledge is admirable. Robert didn't dwell on this issue either, and turned to attack his dress.
"Jiang Ping, you're still too young. Robert looked very experienced, looked at Jiang Ping and smiled disdainfully: "The suit you chose is not suitable for you at all." Neither the cut nor the materials used are too inferior, did you buy them at the flea market? Don't you think it's a bit rude to wear such clothes to today's occasion?"
Robert, as the owner of a fashion company, naturally has some say in this regard. He thought that if he attacked Jiang Ping from this angle, someone would always agree with his statement.
Once again, however, things were taken by surprise to Robert. Hearing his words, the expressions of the guests all looked like they had seen ghosts. Two of the guests, who had been standing close to Robert, hurried to the side, as if they wanted to draw a line with him.
Before Robert could figure out why this was happening, a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup had already said coldly: "Mr. Lorenzo, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your vision is really getting higher and higher." I can't even look at such clothes, I really admire it!"
This middle-aged woman is the sales director of another fashion company and counts as a rival to Robert. As long as the two meet in public, they will inevitably have a sharp argument.
Robert was used to this. He didn't feel the slightest wrong, and immediately retorted with a sneer: "Lady Dala." I think it's your vision that is getting worse and worse, what's so good about this outfit, look at the cutting, materials and workmanship, the worst thing is that it doesn't match Mr. Jiang's temperament at all, it's just useless!"
In fact, of course, Robert can see that Jiang Ping's dress is actually very good. But in order to belittle Jiang Ping, he couldn't control so much. And fashion is a matter of opinion, except for a few recognized masters, you can't say anything about it, and no one else can say anything, which can be explained by different tastes.
It is precisely because of this that Robert has the audacity to criticize Jiang Ping's dress like this. Anyway, no matter what he says, in the end it can be explained by "different tastes".
However, this time Robert made a mistake in his wishful thinking, and as soon as his words fell, Lady Dalla immediately laughed and said: "Everyone has heard it, Mr. Lorenzo's taste is really extraordinary, and even Mrs. Patty's works are not appreciated, admire, admire!"
"What about Mrs. Patti's work......" Robert, who spoke up, slipped his mouth, and then felt that the situation was not good, and quickly closed his mouth and looked at Jiang Ping incredulously.
Mrs. Patti is a legend in the fashion industry, and her work has always been recognized as good, and can simply become a bellwether in the fashion industry. And the dress sewn by Mrs. Patti herself is naturally a symbol of flawlessness. Even many of the biggest names in fashion are proud to own a dress that Mrs. Patti has hand-sewn.
And Robert actually criticized Mrs. Patti's work on this occasion, and even said that Jiang Ping bought it at the flea market. This is no longer just a grudge between him and Jiang Ping, but a declaration of war on the entire fashion circle. It's no wonder that the two guests around Robert just now deliberately stayed away from him - since Robert was looking for death, the others didn't want to be involved.
"Pa...... Mrs. Patti's work?" Robert was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, looking at Jiang Ping in a daze and muttering, "How is this possible!?"
You must know that in recent years, Mrs. Patti has rarely made clothes for people, and I heard that just two months ago, a prince of the Spanish royal family wanted to ask Mrs. Patti to make a dress for him, so he paid a very formal visit. As a result, Lady Patty, though politely received the prince, resolutely refused his request.
The reason Mrs. Patty used at the time was that there was more important things to do. At that time, the prince was naturally very disappointed, but there was nothing he could do, he just lamented that he had not come at the right time.
And Mrs. Patty actually helped Jiang Ping make a dress as soon as she turned around, such a big contrast was really difficult for Robert to accept. You know, even Robert, who is the owner of a fashion company, doesn't have a dress made by Mrs. Patty.
"How could it not be?" Mrs. Darla completely grasped the initiative and said to Robert with a sneer, "Not only Mr. Jiang's suit, but also Miss Lin's dress is Mrs. Patty's masterpiece. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Dala paused deliberately, and then looked at Robert and said word by word: "Mr. Lorenzo, would you like to comment on Miss Lin's dress as well?"
Choked hard by these words, no matter how unwilling Robert was, he didn't dare to make a lot of nonsense like before. He was a little annoyed and angry just now, so he didn't notice a detail on Jiang Ping's dress. Just where the cuffs of the dress are not noticeable, with threads of the same color as the clothes, embroidered with a floral letter: P.
Insiders know that this is exactly the hallmark of Mrs. Patti's handmade gowns. If you have such a dress, even in high society it is the object of envy of others.
Now Robert really didn't have the face to stay, and he left without even saying hello to others. The others had no intention of speaking to the outspoken fellow, and watched Robert leave with disdain.
Anyone can guess that it doesn't take until tomorrow for Robert's previous words to spread in the fashion world. Comments about his "arrogance", "ignorance" and "eyelessness" will also pour in, and Robert will soon become a public enemy of the fashion industry.
While no one has guessed how big the storm will be, it certainly has a major impact on Robert. At least his fashion company in the last two or three years will not have as good times as before.
Jiang Ping, of course, would not have the slightest sympathy for Robert. Since this guy wants to use this party to deal with Jiang Ping, he doesn't mind treating him the way he does.
After Robert left, the atmosphere of the party immediately improved again. Jiang Ping took Lin Xiaonan to talk and laugh with the big names in the fashion circle, no matter who the other party is or what hobbies they have, Jiang Ping can always find common topics for both parties. This ability alone is impossible without rich life experience and profound knowledge.
And Jiang Ping is funny and humorous, no matter who the other party is, he always responds very decently, almost making Jiang Ping the most popular person among other guests at the party, and the limelight even overshadows those famous models.
Lin Xiaonan has been by Jiang Ping's side, watching him perform comfortably on this occasion, and also has a deeper understanding of the man he loves.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that there was no one nearby, Lin Xiaonan couldn't help but whisper to Jiang Ping: "I really can't understand you more and more, why are you performing so well, aren't you nervous at all?"
"Maybe it's because I'm thick-skinned, huh...... There should still be some people who are going crazy. Of course, Jiang Ping couldn't tell Lin Xiaonan that he was a reborn person, and he had experienced this kind of scene a lot before, so he could only find a nonsensical reason.
Just then, the live music plays, and it's time to dance. Jiang Ping raised his eyebrows at Lin Xiaonan, and then whispered, "Tango, are you interested?"
Lin Xiaonan's family has always wanted to arrange for her to marry into a wealthy family, and let her learn dancing, behavior etiquette and other things since she was a child, so it is not difficult for Lin Xiaonan to dance a tango.
Since he had the opportunity to dance with Jiang Ping, of course Lin Xiaonan would not refuse, and nodded to him with a smile. So the two walked onto the dance floor hand in hand and danced to the rhythm of the music.
Lin Xiaonan's ballroom dancing already has a professional level, but Jiang Ping is even better. The two were originally a pair of golden boys and girls, and coupled with their skillful dance steps and clever cooperation, they immediately became the most eye-catching pair on the dance floor.
Many of the guests who had been dancing stopped to enjoy the dancing of the two. For a while, Jiang Ping and Lin Xiaonan have become the stars of the audience, and this dance music seems to be played especially for them...... (To be continued......)
