(4) Beijing Week 5 [5]
โdiamond๏ผ You're here, great, we can join us for a celebratory dinner later! Seeing his friend coming, Jihyung greeted him with great joy.
Dai Ruide smiled and patted his friend on the shoulder, and turned his face to introduce Shuxian: "Let me introduce you, this is the model who will wear your wedding dress and show it in the competition......"
"Ahh - Huang Ying!! Jin Shuxian had an incredible expression on her face and shouted excitedly-
If you want to mention the world's supermodel who is the biggest name in Asian faces, it must be Huang Ying. This beautiful girl who is like a clear spring in a bay can be said to have become popular in the international fashion circle overnight. She signed a contract with IMG, a top international modeling economic company, and is the same agent as Katemoss; Frequently cooperated with many first-line fashion photographers, becoming the first Asian model to appear on the cover of Vogue in Europe and Asia within a month of her debut; From Haute Couture Fashion Week to ready-to-wear launches in New York, Milan and Paris, she was one of the hottest models on the international runways throughout 2014; The four major brands of Louisvuitton, Yslrivegauche, Robertocavalli and Swarovski threw the contract olive branch of the global advertising ambassador to her at the same time, which is almost like a myth for a model who has only stepped into the international fashion circle for a year.
At this moment, this supermodel, who is worth more than one million, is standing in front of her, and even more, she will be wearing a "perfect love" wedding dress made by Shuxian herself, standing on the runway of the competition - how excited and happy Kim Shuxian, as a designer, is.
"Hello, I'm Huang Ying." The supermodel Huang Ying, who walked off the catwalk and walked out of the cover of the magazine, was a little more approachable, but her eye-catching beauty and perfect figure were still so impeccable. She elegantly stretched out her hand and said with a gentle smile, "Designer Jin, I hope that the next cooperation will be pleasant." โ
"Hmmm! Thank you very much Miss Huang Ying for your support, and I will ask you for the following! Shuxian was so excited that even the jade hand that she stretched out to shake began to tremble slightly...... At that moment, she felt that she was really the luckiest girl in the world...... Not one of them.
After the fitting for Miss Huang Ying was completed and the director's reshoot was over, everyone stopped Jin Shuxian's intention to stay in the studio to fine-tune the size of Huang Ying's figure, talked and laughed and walked out of the door, discussing eating supper collectively.
Despite the warm invitation of everyone present, Shuxian barely supported her tired body and agreed to the invitation, so a group of people quickly got into their own cars and drove towards the barbecue restaurant they had just booked.
After trying on clothes, Huang Ying finally declined the supper activity and left first. As a result, only he, Kim Shuxian and Cai Zhiheng were left in Dai Ruide's car. The simple greeting between the two men ended quickly, because Cai Zhiheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and Dai Ruide, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked behind him in the front mirror, and found that Jin Shuxian, who was sitting in the back seat, was leaning against the window and had fallen asleep unconsciously.
"Diamond, Shuxian is asleep...... Do we still go to places to eat? Jihyung asked softly.
"Let's send her home first. Do you know how many floors and rooms her house is on? Dai Ruide replied in the same soft voice, and after receiving an affirmative answer from his friend, he turned around and drove towards the direction of Shuxian's apartment.
After a while, the car stopped in an empty space under the apartment building. Dai Ruide got out of the car and was about to help Zhiheng carry the sleeping girl, only to see that his friend had already held her in his arms, and he looked like he was familiar with it. His mind stirred for some reason, but he followed his friend's footsteps towards the floor of her house without leaving a trace.
When he arrived at the door of Room A on the eighteenth floor where Shuxian lived, Ji Heng couldn't spare his hand to hold the beauty in his hand, and the task of finding the key naturally fell to Dai Ruide. He took the women's satchel on Zhiheng's shoulder, stood in front of the door and opened the buckle of the bag with his back in the direction of his friend, and the first thing he saw was an ordinary handmade doll - inverted figure-of-eight, one-word mouth, the front of the clothes worn by the doll was eye-catching embroidered with a D word, and he could see that this doll was his own incarnation without explanation. Turning over the doll's body, what made him even more angry and frowning was that Xiao Nizi actually wrote the word "beast" on the back of the doll's clothes.
"Stinky girl, dare to make me so ugly, and dare to scold me." Dared muttered.
"What's wrong? Did you find the key? Hearing that his friend seemed to be complaining, Jihyung stood behind him and asked curiously.
"I've found it, you hold on a little longer." With that, Dared put the doll back in his bag, and then continued to rummage and rummage, and finally found the key in a small pocket on one side.
Opening the door, Dai Ruide just found the button to turn on the light on the porch, and Cai Zhiheng hugged Jin Shuxian and went straight upstairs. A trace of panic was once again stirring in his heart, but Dai Ruide couldn't suppress this uncontrollable mood and followed the stairs lightly.
Walking up to the second floor, looking forward, you can see at a glance that the room on the left hand side near the staircase is ajar, Dai Ruide took a few steps forward, and saw that Zhiheng in the room had already placed Shuxian on the bed, he gently covered her with the futon, arranged her slightly messy curls, and kissed her upturned nose lightly...... At that moment, his heart felt an unprecedented thrill, and without thinking deeply, he had already understood that what he felt now was when he loved but couldn't get close to someone...... Distressed.
"Let's go, we haven't seen each other for a while, let's go have a drink alone!" Out of the apartment where Shuxian lives, Jihyung beckons to his friends and asks to catch up.
"Okay, I'm sure I'll be fine." Dai Ruide just hung up the phone with Maureen, informing her that Shuxian couldn't go to the supper dinner, so he had other arrangements. He was a little depressed and needed to be comforted by alcohol, and he also had some questions that he wanted to get answers from his friends, so he did not hesitate to respond in the affirmative.
I don't know how long he drove on the crowded streets of Beijing, and Dai Ruide's car was parked downstairs at the No. 8 Mansion Bar on the 8th floor of No. 8 Chaoyang Park West Road. I entered the bar on the 8th floor, found a relatively quiet corner and sat down, opened a bottle of 90-year-old Latour, and the two friends chatted -
"I guess I'll be staying in Beijing for a long time this time, and my father asked me to follow up on the 'earning purchase' e-commerce platform project that will be launched next month. This is a joint investment and cooperation project with you Dai Diamond International, and we can work together. Cai Zhiheng said with some excitement.
"It's good, I can see you often in the future, with you in Beijing, my life will definitely not be boring." Dai Ruide shook the red wine glass in his hand lightly, and teased indifferently.
"Haha, that's a must. Diamond is like I'm from the same family. Speaking of this, the corners of Zhiheng's mouth became warmer, "I miss Uncle Dai so much, I haven't seen him for a year, and the last time I saw him, I seemed to have become a lot more smiling, which is completely different from the impression I had when I was a child." โ
"yes, he's always been the same in my eyes."
"Uncle's sixtieth birthday should be next week, right? It's next Saturday, right? -- When I went back to Los Angeles this time, my father reminded me to come and send blessings and gifts to my uncle. He also knows that your father doesn't like parties very much, but our Cai family's heart still has to be delivered. Zhiheng gently shook the red wine in the glass, and reminded him of another thing, "Your birthday is the day before your father's birthday, which is next Friday, and it will be coming soon." I know you don't like parties either, but as a brother, you must express something, do you have any wishes for this birthday? โ
Birthday?
Dai Ruide smiled helplessly and coldly, since he was a child, he has always remembered his birthday, and the first person to remind him of his birthday is mostly his friend Cai Zhiheng, who remembers it more clearly than his parents. The two parents are world friends, since they were sensible, they have been friends since the first grade of Dai Ruide elementary school transferred to the United States, the two have been in the same school and class until the university was separated, Dai Ruide went to Harvard Business School, and Cai Zhiheng, who likes the sunshine of the West Coast, chose the University of Southern California. When he first arrived in the United States to attend elementary school, he was six years old, and because of his small stature, he was not adapted, and he lacked communication with his father, who was busy with work all day long, and his mother, who was running around the world and could not grasp his whereabouts at all, and suffered from communication disorder. At that time, he lacked self-confidence, always hiding in a dark corner and not interacting with anyone, if it weren't for Cai Zhiheng, who was cheerful and lively like a ray of sunshine, pulled him out of the shadows, even he didn't know what would become of the current CEO of Dai Diamond International.
โdiamond๏ผ My name is Harry, I'm your best friend, you can rely on me for anything, let's play! โ
Zhiheng's smile that year was like a medicine for salvation, which he still remembers in his heart.
"Diamond, are you alright?" Ji Hyeong observed his slightly frowning brow with some concern.
"It's fine, it's just that I remembered the past." Dai Ruide raised his eyes and replied, "I don't have anything special to want for my birthday, and with the friendship between the two of us, we don't need to think about it." After speaking, the picture of his friend kissing Shuxian's nose suddenly flashed in his mind......
"You must be thinking about work again, right? Don't think about it, you're already very good, you got two master's degrees in three years of college, and you've been helping your dad manage the company for four years at this age, and I just graduated this year. This time I went back and was counted down by my father, and I have been educating me to learn from you. โ
"Uncle is always too rewarding."
"It's not an award, as a friend, just tell the truth. I really think you're amazing and can do everything well. You don't say it, but I can see it...... Recently, you have put a lot of effort into taking care of Shuxian, and I am really grateful to see her so happy. I'm really proud to have a good friend like you. โ
Hearing this, Dai Ruide's chest tightened again: "She's your girlfriend, I should take care of her." Swallowing the guilt that choked in his throat, he reflexively commented, "I can see that you really like her." โ
"Yes." Cai Zhiheng exhaled, and then said seriously, "When I met her, I really experienced the mood of love for the first time, a very wonderful mood." I think she's the one I'm destined to love. โ
"Are you serious enough to hit the mark?" Dai Ruide tried to hide the negativity in his tone, making it sound a little sarcastic.
"Hehe, don't you bless me?" Jihyung asked him with a smile.
"Of course." Dai Ruide had to smile back against his will.
"Speaking of which, on your birthday this year, it seems that it happens to be your company's new product launch this year, and I have already received an invitation. It seems that your mother's top new diamond this year was designed by your mother, will she go back to Beijing for the press conference? Cai Zhiheng asked while playing with the red wine glass in his hand, this is the third glass he has refilled.
Dai Ruide sighed quietly and replied, "She's back." โ
"Huh? That's great, finally seeing your legendary mom! Although I was going to pick up my uncle at the airport on the day of the press conference, I will definitely come as soon as possible. Jihyung couldn't hide his excitement.
Yes, even Dyed himself was amused, almost a friend with whom he grew up, and never met his mother - the woman who won numerous international awards, the queen of jewelry design, but in his eyes was the worst mother in the world - she never showed up at any of his graduation ceremonies, missed most of his birthdays and anniversaries, even his 20th birthday.
"I'll lend you Mom."
Whenever the festival comes, when he stands in the corner and watches other children holding hands with their parents with a happy face, Zhiheng always comes to his side and comforts him so much.
"Well, you'll have to come to our new product launch." Dai Ruide finally raised his head from his thoughts, "This year's new product is one of our very important strategies, you are my most important friend, of course you have to come to cheer, remember to give some advice." โ
"Good! For your success, for our friendship. Cai Zhiheng raised the red wine glass in his hand.
"For you to make a big splash in Beijing." Dai Ruide raised his hand and raised his glass, and responded with a solemn and serious expression, "I really want to toast." โ
The cups and shadows touched, the two men drank it all, and the night grew thicker and thicker in the midst of talking and laughing......
