(3) Beijing Week 4 [3]
When the phone rang, Dai Ruide was eating with Tang Zhuo and Zhao Xinrui at the Da Dong Roast Duck Restaurant on Jinbao Street in Wangfujing.
Recently, Ruixin Jewelry Co., Ltd., founded by Zhao Xinrui, has conducted Series B financing, and Zhuosheng Investment owned by Tang Zhuo and Dai Diamond International will lead the implementation of this investment project. Based on the personal relationship between Dai Ruide and Zhao Xinrui, he didn't pay any attention to the investment of 50 million US dollars, and immediately made a decision. So, the contract negotiation was signed in this afternoon. Now this meal is the "celebration banquet" that Zhao Xinrui temporarily started after the meeting.
Last night, I took care of a certain drunken little girl and didn't sleep until two o'clock in the middle of the night, plus I discussed the work all day today, Dai Ruide was a little tired, and was about to find an excuse to go home early to rest, when the phone rang at this moment. He glanced at the name on the caller ID and picked up the phone without thinking. It's just that he never expected that the first sentence on the phone would be like this-
"Diamond, I'm going to quit the game......" The voice on the other end of the phone was crying, making the man on the other end of the phone feel nervous.
"How, what nonsense?" he said, worried, but still habitually asking sternly, but not receiving an immediate response. This made him frown, and he asked, "Where are you—the studio?"
The girl on the other end of the phone was still silent and did not answer, so he dropped a word of advice domineeringly, "Stay still, come over immediately." ”
Hanging up the phone, Dai Ruide turned his head to Zhao Xinrui and Tang Zhuo and said, "I have to go, I'm sorry, I'm invited for this meal." Then he put dozens of hundred-dollar bills on the table, got up and prepared to leave the table.
"Wait a minute, whose call was it just now? What important person needs to rush over now? We're only halfway through our meal. Zhao Xinrui's face was displeased, and her tone became sharper, "It's still harassing people at this point in time, it won't be Jin Shuxian, right?"
"A little personal matter, let's go back to it. Dared was not prepared to explain at all, took a step, and left without looking back.
Under the conditions of Beijing's traffic jam and speed limit, Dai Ruide stepped on the accelerator to 120 and soared all the way to the downstairs of the "Shuxiang Mendi" studio in Area D of the 798 Creative Park.
As soon as I opened the solid wooden door, the most striking thing in front of me was the obviously damaged wedding dress work, and Jin Shuxian curled up in the corner of the studio with her knees crossed.
"What's going on?" said Dared, without hesitation, striding over to the sad girl. He crouched down on one knee as gently as he could, and with his slender fingers ruffled her long, tousled curly hair—revealing a pair of eyes that were red and swollen from crying, and his heart tightened unconsciously.
"The wedding dress is ruined...... she looked up at him sadly, "I had to quit the competition." ”
"I don't allow you to say such frustrating things. Kim Shuxian, you should remember how much effort it took you to qualify. He tried to hide his excessive worry and anger with harsh words.
"But...... There is no way, I am now disqualified from participating in the competition, and I can't submit my entries anymore......"
Dai Ruide glanced back at the messy white gauze in the diagonal direction, turned his head, raised her face with both hands, and said, "Cheer up, isn't there nearly two weeks left? ”
"It's impossible to make a perfect wedding dress in two weeks. You see that this work is now, just to build the whole structure, just start the details of the carving, this sixty percent of the completion took the three of us two weeks. A good work requires time and manpower to carefully carve out, and if you do it all over again, it will be too late in time......"
Dai Ruide lowered his head and thought seriously for a moment, then raised his head and said, "How much manpower you want, no matter what kind of manpower it is, I will find a way to lend it to you." Calm down first, and we'll go over the skirt together in a moment, I don't believe it all needs to be redone. ”
"Diamond, ...... you" Thinking of what happened recently, Jin Shuxian's heart suddenly swelled with a lot of gratitude, and she didn't know how to say it for a while.
She stared straight at him, her reddish eyes and long messy hair making the girl, who always pretended to be strong, look so delicate at this moment. The rare and pitiful appearance of this female man stimulated the man's inexplicable desire to protect, Dai Ruide pulled her into his arms, patted her on the back, and muttered comfort: "It's okay, with me, everything can be solved smoothly." ”
I especially don't like Jin Shuxian, who owes favors to others and has a phobia of men, but in the face of the comfort and hug at this moment, she has no disgust or resistance. And she, at that moment, had no intention of exploring this fact, which was contrary to common sense......
They were so close to the ground, their faces and hearts had never been so close, and the reassuring smell emanating from his body was as reassuring and soothing as she had felt before, and her heart gradually calmed down.
Accompanied Jin Shuxian to check the damage to the wedding dress, and put down the shelf of the chairman of the listed company and started to clean the "Shuxiang Mendi" studio simply, Dai Ruide's mobile phone rang again, and then he realized that it was twelve o'clock at night.
The caller ID was from "Julietzhao", and when he pressed the OK button, a male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Diamond, I'm Tang Zhuo, are you free now?"
"What's the matter?"
"Can you come to me now...... Pick up someone?"
"Pick up who?"
Tang Zhuo obviously sighed on the other end of the phone, "Juliet." He paused, "She needs you a lot right now." ”
"I can't walk away right now. Dai Ruide said in a non-negotiable tone, "I'm relieved to have you take care of her." ”
"But she wanted ...... very much"
Before he could finish speaking, Dai Ruide interrupted: "Tang Zhuo, I will be very busy in the next two weeks, there is a girl here who needs me to take care of-not to mention, compared to me, Juliet should need you more, this sister will ask you to take care of it." ”
Knowing that it would be useless to say anything next, Tang Zhuo silently hung up the phone, turned his head to look at Zhao Xinrui, who was lying on the sofa behind him, and was full of distress and pity.
"Juliet, the sofa is too hard, shall I take you to your room to sleep?" he cautiously approached her, leaned down, and a faint feminine smell immediately came to his nose.
"Where's Diamond? Is my Diamond coming? Diamond...... I can't lose you......" Zhao Xinrui pulled Tang Zhuo's shoulder and fell into his arms, but muttered another man's name in his mouth, a name that made him feel distressed.
He sighed again, so he had to tighten his hug, and use the temperature of his body to warm the heart of the woman in his arms......
The studio was roughly cleaned up, and under the urging of Dai Ruide, Jin Shuxian finally agreed to put down her psychological burden and go back to the apartment to sleep well first, and then work hard tomorrow. She walked to the side of the wall and reached for the satchel on the hook, and the scratches on her arms and wrists were completely visible and shocking, and they caught Dared's eyes and frowned.
"Who did such a bastard, why didn't you let me call the police?" he asked, with suppressed anger, walking over her wrist and taking a closer look.
"I don't want to make a big deal out of it. Jin Shuxian withdrew her hands and put them behind her back, bowing her head like a child who had done something wrong.
"What good can the idea of 'not making a big deal about' do in addition to protecting the perpetrator and making him more arrogant?" The anger in Dai Ruide's heart couldn't be suppressed, and his tone exploded a little hot, "If you dare to do this kind of thing, if you don't teach him a lesson, you will inevitably harm society in the future and do even more outrageous things." ”
Jin Shuxian pursed her lips and frowned in silence.
"What the hell have you been caught with - why are you so afraid of this man?"
"I didn't get caught, and I wasn't afraid of him! I just didn't want to provoke this person...... I hate trouble. In the face of his impatient questioning, Jin Shuxian had no intention of explaining and was about to leave.
"I'm interested in hearing about his powers. Unbeknownst to her, Dai Ruide stopped her shoulder with one hand and put on a posture of asking questions to the end. Indeed, to test this "stubborn" personality, this pair of men and women can be regarded as having a fight.
Jin Shuxian took a deep breath and replied loudly helplessly: "You don't want to explore my affairs, didn't you also let me concentrate on the competition?"
Dai Ruide frowned and stared at her for a long time, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Could it be the man who pulled and pulled you in the hospital last time?"
How did he expect that he would be hit as soon as he guessed? The unprepared Jin Shuxian took a deep breath, swallowed her saliva, and remained silent without answering...... But at a glance, you can see that the answer is true.
"I think he's pretty familiar, like I've seen ...... somewhere," Dai Ruide put his right index finger against his chin, and then showed a thoughtful expression.
Early the next morning, Jin Shuxian was studying the repair plan of the "perfect love" wedding dress with Xiao Wei and Mengmeng, and Mo Lin appeared at the door of the "Shuxiang Mendi" studio with a team of three assistants, carrying more than a dozen bundles of high-quality clothes.
"Sister Mo, what is this?" Jin Shuxian stared at the people who fell from the sky with gifts on a surprised face, and blurted out a question.
"These are the most precious and rarest fabrics our company has purchased this year. You see these pieces of gauze, all of which have applied nanotechnology to the spinning process of extremely rare Egyptian cotton, forming the world's lightest, thinnest and most durable perfect light yarn. Look at these brocades, which are also made of high-tech combined with traditional craftsmanship, with the most high-grade raw materials and the most expensive manpower. I heard Mr. Dai say that you plan to change the lining of your clothes to brocade, so bring it to you to see if it fits. If you like the fabric, but have a special need for the pattern, we can ask the supplier to get the pattern you want within three days. However, time is precious, and since we are running out of time, I am afraid that Miss Jin needs to take the idea today. Maureen maintained her usual calm and clear speaking style, and explained patiently.
"The best and most expensive fabric? How much does it cost?" Shuxian picked up a light yarn and touched it, needless to say, this is really a good product - two weeks ago, during the preparation of the wedding dress, the demand for clothing was reported to Maureen one by one from model to brand, with her personality is categorically not to take the initiative to ask for the best and most expensive clothing, only practical. Now, these high-quality fabrics took the initiative to send them to the door, which made Shuxian both overwhelmed and excited.
In the world of clothing, the word styling has to be mentioned when it comes to clothing. The shape of the garment is determined by the texture of the garment, which is the secret of fashion, and this secret is determined by the first law of architecture, which is to follow the principle of gravity and create the atmosphere of the design. So, if you give a good piece of clothing to the right designer, it's like handing over a magic wand to a magician who is about to move, and what you are about to conjure up will be magnificent and unexpected.
"Miss Jin, please don't worry about the price of the clothes, if you can make an excellent wedding dress with these clothes, we will also sell it as a product at a good price, after all, all the entries will be included in the new wedding dresses of Diamond International this year. So, please don't think about the cost, as long as you can finish the work to the highest level, no matter what the requirement, we will cooperate. Maureen patted her on the shoulder, smiled encouragingly, and then turned her head to follow the three girls who were with her, and the three of them immediately lined up in a row and said their names aloud.
"Hello Mr. Jin, I'm Xiaofei!"
"Tongtong!"
"Wen Ling!"
"We will definitely fully support the teacher to complete the work, please give me a lot of advice!"
After speaking, the three of them bowed to Shuxian in unison.
"Ah, don't be so polite, I'm the one who needs to express gratitude, bow and say, 'Please.'" Shuxian was very embarrassed to greet the three of them, and then turned her head and whispered to Mo Lin, "Sister Mo, Dai Zhuan International has provided three assistants at once, will it be too much......?"
Before she could finish speaking, Maureen gestured with a finger and made a gesture of booing, "Isn't it just in case? The most important thing is to be able to complete the work - as long as we can help you finish the work, even if we provide ten more assistants, we will support it." ”
"Huh, that's embarrassing......"
"Okay, don't say it again, don't frown anymore, at this time, you should smile harder. Maureen pinched her face like a big sister, "You go and inspect the clothes, assign the work, and hurry up the wedding dress." Time is of the essence, don't waste it. At that, a call came in, and Maureen turned and walked out of the studio to answer the phone.
The conversation with Mo Lin ended temporarily, and Jin Shuxian turned around to see that the three new assistants were discussing the use of clothing and the techniques of making zuò with Xiao Wei and Mengmeng, so she exhaled, showed a faint smile, and joined them.
