(4) Beijing Week 5 [4]
Early Wednesday morning, Maureen was doing her daily report in her boss's office, and Dai Ruide was somewhat absent-mindedly flipping through the stack of contracts in front of her. Although this boss is expressionless and strict most of the time, Mo Lin, who is good at observing words and feelings, can still feel his feelings and depression in the past few days, so she can't help but care: "Mr. Dai, you haven't been doing anything lately, right?" ā
"It's okay, just go ahead." Dai Ruide closed the contract and tried to put on a serious face as the secretary reported on the progress of the investigation into the leakage of the jewelry design drafts of the "Eternal Concentric" series.
"The vast majority of the people who have access to the design draft in the design department are old people who have joined Daizuan International for at least five years, and only one Liu Jue, who has won the silver medal in the JMA Design Competition, is a newcomer who joined in the middle of last year. Perhaps because of the aura of winning the award, it was reused by Fu Chunchun, the director of the design department, soon after he came in. I have checked Liu Jue's resume, and before coming to Dai Diamond International, he only worked for one year in a small company with an unknown name, which was called Duo Ran. I wanted to do a further employer investigation, but I couldn't find the company's actual address and the phone calls didn't answer, so I plan to try again later. ā
"I only have one year of work experience, but I have won the JMA Design Award, and I seem to be a newcomer with outstanding ability. As for other aspects, especially character, in addition to checking his previous employer's feedback, you can also ask your current colleagues to take a look. Some time ago, the design department was more or less aware of the major event of the leakage of the design draft, and they would always have some vigilance when talking to everyone. Now that some time has passed, as long as the investigation is not very direct, they may not be able to hear the intentions. Find a few people you trust who have a relationship with the design department, ask them who they like to associate with, and investigate whether their financial situation has changed significantly recently, etc. - you should know what I mean. ā
"I see. Mr. Dai rest assured, I will inquire carefully and handle it properly. ā
As she spoke, Maureen's phone rang.
"It's Miss Shuxian." She glanced at the caller's name and casually pulled it out, then looked up at the boss.
Suddenly hearing the name "Shuxian", Dai Ruide's heart tightened defenselessly, and he threw a sentence to Maureen, "Let's answer the phone first." He began to aimlessly flip through the contract in front of him again.
Picking up the phone, Shuxian's anxious words on the other end of the phone immediately rang: "Sister Mo Lin, the model who said she was going to come to try on yesterday afternoon, but she didn't come after waiting for a day, and the phone couldn't get through...... It's too sudden, isn't it? ā
"Model Hu Fei? Wasn't it okay the other day? Don't worry, I'll immediately call her economic company to complain. Maureen lowered her voice, comforting her usual steady tone. However, their conversations still caught up in Dared's ears one by one.
"Hey, if the sprained foot is real, even if I complain, I have to find an alternative. Friday is the final designer video shoot, and it's the day of delivery, so I'll have to find the right model to try on anyway. ā
"Since there is a complaint, they must come up with a compensation plan. Don't worry, I'm going to send you a model with a similar figure to Hu Fei in the afternoon. ā
"Hu Fei was selected from hundreds of models, body is one thing, more important is temperament. It's really not easy to find a model with an ethereal temperament like her. Looking at the international first-line models, there are few models with this kind of angelic face and unstained red dust temperament. ā
"Don't worry, there's always a way. I'll find someone with a similar figure to Hu Fei first, and I'll help you figure it out in the next two days. ā
"Thank you, Sister Maureen......"
Hanging up the phone, before Maureen could report it, Dai Ruide opened his mouth first: "What?" Gone wrong with the contest showcase? ā
"Oh, yes. I had to work hard to find it, Shuxian's vision was too picky, and it was all kinds of entanglements before I picked out a Hu Fei. She likes a model similar to the international sister Huang Ying, who claims to have the temperament of an elf...... It's really hard to find. Maureen rubbed her temples.
"Yellow Warbler?" Dai Ruide leaned his whole body back in the chair, "Then what else to consider, isn't there an answer to the question?" - That's the yellow warbler. ā
"Huh?" This time, even Maureen had an incredulous expression on her face.
In the afternoon, Maureen brought in a substitute temporary model as promised, and because of a one-day delay in trying on, Jin Shuxian kept adjusting her clothes everywhere. The details of the skirt exposed when the model walked made her determined to make a big change, so that she couldn't go to Cai Zhiheng's dinner.
Zhiheng was a little mentally prepared for Shuxian's missed appointment, but he didn't expect his friend Dai Ruide to refuse his invitation for two days in a row, and he came back for three days without seeing him once...... Besides, this time I came to him with a matter of cooperation.
"Sick? Can't even spare half an hour to meet me? Ji Heng asked about it in a phone call to his friend.
"Recently, there have been a lot of things in the company, so I'll concentrate on dealing with them for two days, and I'll make an appointment to come out on the weekend." Dai Ruide's voice on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse, a bit of a cold.
"Shall we make an appointment on Friday, then? Shuxian delivered the design that night and went to have a meal together to celebrate. ā
"You go celebrate with her, I don't necessarily have time on Friday."
"Friday is already the weekend, don't work too hard, come when you have time, right? It's been almost a week since I've been back, so why don't you come out and see me. I'm looking for you this time. Zhiheng unrelentingly mentioned yƬ, which made it a little difficult for this long-time friend to refuse.
So, Dai Ruide was silent for a while, and slowly replied: "Okay, we'll see when the time comes." ā
This Friday, the day of the filming of the last promotional video before the official competition, Kim Shuxian took the initiative to move the shooting time to after the sun went down. So, at seven o'clock in the evening, Maureen took the assistant team and the film crew to the "Shuxiang Mendi" studio as promised, and as soon as she stepped through the door, she was greeted by the scene in front of her...... Stunned -
In the studio, only corner lights and two floor lamps were scattered around the edges, and Shuxian was sorting out the hem of the "Perfect Love" wedding dress, which stood in the center of the room, and was already shining without any foil.
"It's so beautiful!" Mo Lin couldn't help clapping her hands and applauding, and praised Shuxian repeatedly, "Miss Jin is really talented. ā
"Sister Mo has won the award." Shuxian laughed a little embarrassedly. She stayed up two nights in a row, and finally made the wedding dress to her satisfaction in this afternoon. Knowing that she needed to shoot the last sequence of the competition today, she temporarily pulled out a black dress from the Louis Vuitton travel bag that had been left in the corner, and the bag had been left in the corner since it was picked up by Dyred on Monday. Although the clothes were new, her complexion was still too pale and haggard, Maureen told the makeup artist to quickly make up for her with light makeup, and everyone simply arranged the studio together, and it was not until 8 o'clock in the evening that today's shooting officially began. Cai Zhiheng arrived at the studio just in time to visit the studio before the recording began.
Sitting in front of the camera, Shuxian regretted that she didn't take the time to write down everything she had to say on paper, because she really had a lot to say, and she was really afraid that she would miss any person and thing that moved her, every favor and help that needed to be thanked, and every expectation that stood at the same starting point as her. In the end, she turned all her emotions into the following words-
"First of all, I would like to thank the organizers and co-organizers for organizing this 'PrefectLove' International Wedding Dress Competition, which gave me this opportunity to show my talent and improve myself. In fact, along the way, there are so many people I need to be grateful for, the comrades-in-arms who have worked side by side with me, the friends who have constantly cheered me on, and everyone from all walks of life who cares about me...... Yes, every day, from each of you, I can learn something new, learn the preciousness of trust, learn the weight of responsibility, learn to smile harder, learn to persevere no matter what the circumstances, and learn to believe that there must be miracles in this world that are worth waiting for...... This qiÄ made me understand that everyone in this world must have a guardian angel who blesses us and guards us, with his purest and perfect love and a precious angelic heart...... Once, I once thought that the distance of my dream had left me, until I faced myself again, and once again worked hard, only to find that the dream, it was actually standing in the direction not far in front of me, waiting for me, it was waiting for me, and it was not going anywhere. I'm really grateful for this competition, he gave me back the direction of my life and a dream I had since I was a child. Regardless of whether I win the award in this competition, being able to complete this 'prefectlove' wedding dress has become an important milestone in my life, and all the sadness and tears, touching and smiling in the process will become precious gems in my memory." From now on, I will be more determined to move in the direction of my dreams, no matter how many hardships and difficulties lie ahead, I will continue to walk firmly - this is my promise, and I will keep this promise with actions. ā
When the words fell, Jin Shuxian was silent for a moment to calm her excitement, and then slowly removed her eyes from the direction of the camera, sweeping over the crowd waiting on the side, with a warm smile on every face. Soon, a series of applause rang out from the crowd, and Xiao Wei, Mengmeng, Xiao Fei, Tongtong, Wen Ling, and of course, Mo Lin all hugged forward and gave encouraging hugs.
"Miss Jin, you are really great, what you just said is very touching and to the point." When the hug ended, Maureen said this in a relieved and joyful tone, and Shuxian immediately returned with a warm smile.
"Sister Mo, if you really think I'm great, you have to change your name to call me 'Shuxian', or call me sister, in my heart, you are already my dearest sister."
After hearing this, Maureen smiled a little embarrassedly, and she nodded: "Okay, Sister Shuxian." ā
At this time, the director also stepped forward to send his blessings to Shuxian: "Your special shooting is the most memorable of all the contestants. It's really touching to go out of your way to raise money for your friend's medical bills, and in the shoot where the wedding dress was destroyed, I almost thought you couldn't finish the race, but you proved that everything is possible. I will definitely edit these materials well and present the most real Miss Kim Shuxian to everyone. ā
"Thank you, Director." Shuxian gratefully folded her palms in front of her mouth to hide the gratitude and emotion she choked in her throat.
Cai Zhiheng, who had been standing on the periphery and waiting, also stepped forward at this time: "Shuxian, congratulations on the completion of the work, even if I am a person who does not understand wedding dresses, I can see that this is a super powerful work, and I will definitely win the award!" ā
"It doesn't matter if I win or not, what matters is that I finish a ...... I thought it would never be possible again. And, I've come to believe that everything is possible. ā
"Does it include curing 'allergies'?" Ji Heng blinked with a smile in his eyes and asked grimly.
Shuxian lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.
"Giving so many hugs to people, it's not bad for me, is it? Would you like to try giving it a hug if you have an allergic reaction...... I'll take you to the hospital, let you beat and scold. Seeing that Shuxian was in a good mood, Zhiheng took the opportunity to make a small request.
Shuxian looked up at his usual innocent and innocent expression, smiled and stretched out her hands, and the two hugged greatly in the warm light.
Through Ji-hyung's broad shoulders, Shuxian saw a familiar tall figure, leaning against the shadow of the door at the door of the studio and looking at herself, not knowing how long she had been standing in that corner. His always cold expression melted a little in the joyful atmosphere at this time, although the corners of his mouth still showed a straight arc, and even his cheeks maintained their usual appearance, but today's Dai Ruide looked indescribably gentle, perhaps...... It's the eyes.
The two looked at each other for two seconds, and then he walked over, and from the shadows followed a tall, beautiful woman who looked very familiar, who might have been ...... But Shuxian only had Dai Ruide's figure in her eyes, covering the others, so that she didn't see the appearance of this alluring beauty until this time.
