(3) Beijing Week 4 [1]
When he received Zhao Xinrui's call and was asked to meet, Lin Yongjun really thought that the next meeting was just a business greeting, and it wasn't until the woman in front of him asked about Jin Shuxian that he smelled a hint of conspiracy.
"I heard that Mr. Lin planned to buy Miss Jin Shuxian's studio earlier, and the rest of the process didn't go well, right?" Sitting elegantly on the leather sofa in the corner of the first floor of the VPLUS bar, Zhao Xinrui asked in a casual tone.
"It's not negotiated, how did you know about this intention?" Lin Yongjun pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, trying to take his eyes off her long overlapping legs.
"The industry is small, the liquidity is strong, the gossip is flying, and it's not as difficult as you think to know what to do. Zhao Xinrui said with a smile, "It's a pity that this business is a pity, and it should take some effort to win it." Now, with the support of Dai Diamond International, Ms. Jin Shuxian is able to participate in the competition exceptionally, and she is the favorite to win the 'Perfect Love' wedding dress competition, and it is even more difficult to buy it. Mr. Lin seems to be an old acquaintance with Miss Jin, right? Isn't the previous friendship deep enough? ”
After hearing this, Lin Yongjun obviously pouted: "I just didn't pay much attention to this matter, and it is not difficult to win such a small-scale design studio at all." ”
"I don't think it's that difficult. Xinrui smiled even sweeter, "Both of us are judges of this year's wedding dress competition, and we can have a direct impact on the final result of the competition...... And don't make people laugh?"
"Could it be that Miss Zhao is also interested in the 'Shuxiang Mendi' studio?" Lin Yongjun said in a curious tone.
"Yes, I'm interested. It's a good thing that a good designer can find the best platform, and of course the horse must be paired with Bole, you and Miss Jin have known each other for many years, and it is also the best of both worlds for the studio to belong to you in the end. Secondly, the 'Angel Heart' is a piece of jewelry that I designed with my own hands, and I have my own expectations for the first place winner of this competition, and I also want to ask Mr. Lin to canvass for votes. I can pay for a 100% equity acquisition with you in Jin Shuxian's studio, but the overall price cannot exceed 5 million, and the shares obtained will be given to me in proportion......"
"Miss Zhao is really a shrewd businessman - you want to accept a powerful designer, you want to get back the 'Angel Heart' necklace, and the recommended designer has to get fame and fortune - this transaction is really profitable. Lin Yongjun sneered and interrupted.
Correspondingly, Zhao Xinrui chuckled: "Mr. Lin, why don't you see that I'm helping you at all?...... Can you just watch Jin Shuxian fall into the arms of Chairman Dai Zuan International like this, and you don't feel distressed at all? Don't you want to keep her by your side?"
Lin Yongjun's face froze for a moment, and before he could refute it, the woman opposite had already straightened up-
"Give me a call when you think clearly, rest assured, I will never let you lose on this deal. ”
After speaking, she left the booth with elegant steps, leaving Lin Yongjun, who was frowning, into another round of deep thought.
Almost at the same time, after the just-concluded board meeting, Dai Ruide was called into his father's exclusive meeting office by his father, Dai Shigang, who had rarely appeared for a long time.
"I heard that you recently donated a million to a girl in your mother's name?" Dai Shigang asked straight to the point, his deep voice was majestic, and his burning eyes were as sharp as usual.
"It's just a good deed, don't you and your mother also donate a lot of money to charity every year?" Dai Ruide swiped his phone's circle of friends, responding in his usual casual tone.
"I don't have a problem with you taking 1 million to pick up girls, but as soon as this girl appeared on the scene, she made usury news, and she seems to be Zhiheng's girlfriend? Isn't Zhiheng your friend for many years? What's more, I and Zhiheng's father are still friends for many years, you can't lose my face. I don't touch a woman with such a complicated background, lest you have to let me clean up the mess for you in the future. ”
"Are you looking for someone to check on me?" Dai Ruide finally raised his eyes, frowned slightly and looked back at his father, a hint of annoyance in his tone.
"You are my son, of course I can check you!" the father responded in a more majestic tone, and the smell of gunpowder instantly filled the air, "Such a big company is handed over to you, your words and deeds will affect the company's reputation, everything to show me Xiàn must be mature and steady!"
"I'm twenty-six years old, not six years old, if I can't decide on personal matters at this age, you don't have to hand it over to me. With that, Dai Ruide got up and walked about to leave, and the resolute tone made Dai's father, who was sitting opposite, look a little greener.
"No matter what age you are, you are my son!"
The moment Dared slammed the door and went out, he seemed to hear his father say this.
The donation of 1.69 million yuan for Minxiang's treatment was credited to Shuxian's account early on Monday morning, and after receiving a text message from the bank to notify the account, Jin Shuxian almost ran excitedly to buy a set of million-rang firecrackers and set them up.
Incidentally, the 300,000 yuan borrowed from the loan company was fully repaid this Monday, and only a little interest, handling fee and transportation expenses were lost, which is already a fortunate thing. The uncle of the loan company listened to Shuxian's account of the recent progress when she went through the repayment procedures, and praised her for being a good person and having a good life, and of course he did not forget to encourage her to come over to borrow money from time to time.
Walking out of the lending company, Jin Shuxian stared at the mobile phone address book for half a salary, and then plucked up the courage to dial the phone number named "Polar Bear". Since last week, when Dai Ruide brought her home drunk and changed her clothes without consent, she was forced to act rough with him in the car on impulse, and the two have not spoken again. Thinking about it, being able to get such a huge donation to treat Minxiang is indispensable, and the need to change her clothes back, Shuxian feels that this call is indeed necessary.
"What's the matter?" asked the man on the other end of the phone in a cold tone as soon as he heard her voice.
"I received donations from Ms. Ruan and all the other well-wishers this morning, and I am very grateful to Mr. Dai for their help. ”
"Don't thank me, it's not completely out of no favor for me to do this - you're famous, and the attention from all walks of life to our 'Perfect Love' wedding dress competition and show will be greatly increased, and of course, this will also increase the popularity of our Diamond International. For me, it's just a PR campaign that is very beneficial to our company, don't overthink it. He had just slammed the door from his father's office, and he was so angry that Dai Ruide couldn't lift his low breath.
"I see, you're really good at business. In fact, it's not that he doesn't know that Dai Ruide is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted master, but after listening to the above words, Shuxian inevitably felt a little lost in her heart, and even the words of response became sour inexplicably.
"Of course. ”
"Okay, so how are you going to pay you back the clothes you lent me last time?"
"How to borrow and how to pay back. ”
"I'll put it in the studio, you can get it when you have time......"
Before Shuxian's words were finished, Dai Gongzi interrupted: "The clothes I borrowed, of course, I will find time to return them." Yesterday I helped you change your clothes and borrow you new clothes out of pure kindness - but my kindness was not reciprocated, and I was beaten for helping someone. ”
"Even if you are kind, you can't help me change it yourself, haven't you heard the saying that men and women don't kiss?"
"Do you still know you're a woman?"
"Diamond! You ——"
With a "click", Dai Ruide hung up her phone directly...... Only Jin Shuxian was left staring at the number of the "Polar Bear with a Thousand Cuts" on her mobile phone with an incomprehensible expression, and she had already hung this completely unreasonable man in her mind for 300 rounds.
Back in the studio, Jin Shuxian used the existing materials in her hand to make a small rag doll that looked very similar to Dai Ruide - in addition to the inverted eight-figure eyes that always crossed her eyebrows and turned into a "one" word, she also simply embroidered a "D" letter on the front of her clothes, and wrote the word "beast" with a marker pen on the back without hesitation. After the doll was finished, Shuxian pointed to its nose for a long time of scolding and preaching to herself, and finally, she could start working with all her strength in a comfortable mood.
After two weeks of hard work, the "perfect love" wedding dress has made great progress – the layered and intricately structured body has been built, and now it only needs to be carefully carved into every detail. The entire wedding dress is made of a large number of tulle as thin as a millimeter, carefully cut into different layers that resemble petals and wings, and then built with extremely high-level tailoring and fabrics, and conjures up a vivid ice and snow rose from the chest. Its blooming petals will outline the perfect breastline of the bride, while its flowing and falling petals will expand like a rain of falling petals, depicting a beautiful back like jade.
It's inspiring to see the masterpiece that I've worked so hard for half a month take shape. You know, to be able to make a "princess-level" perfect wedding dress is Jin Shuxian's dream back then, this dream began to sprout when she was in kindergarten, her mother would always pass by a palace-like wedding dress shop when she picked her up and went to school every day, and the wedding dress in the window was like a pearl in a little girl's dream that could not be erased, so that she could never forget. But the dream tree really took root when it came from a bridal magazine in junior high school. It was a magazine that the lesbian table picked up on the road to pass the time, and when she turned the first page, Kim Shuxian's soul was deeply attracted to the past, which was the most beautiful wedding dress she had ever seen - in 1955, when Gracekelly, the goddess of Hollywood film and television, announced that she would bid farewell to her glamorous screen career and millions of fans, and marry into the ancient Monaco royal family, the world was shocked. This is known as "the most touching love in the 20th century" and created a wedding of the century that will go down in history. In the spring of 1956, Grace walked into Monaco Cathedral in a beautiful Juliet hat, veiled with thousands of fish-egg pearls, and dressed in an ivory wedding dress, and walked to her groom, "the most ideal man in the world", Prince Rainier III of Monaco. The photo in the magazine was taken from the wedding of the century, and the bride's dress was specially designed by Oscar-winning designer Helenrose. It's made from 98 yards of tulle, 25 yards of silk taffeta and 300 yards of 125-year-old Valencian rose lace. The Jewellery Emperor Cartier, who holds a Royal Mandate from Monaco, has created a series of wedding outfits for the wedding heroine, including a wedding ring, a necklace and a platinum crown. It was a feast for love, made into a short film and released around the world, called the most beautiful scenery of the last century. Kennedy, who had not yet become the president of the United States at the time, frowned regretfully after reading the news: "It was probably me who married her." "—It's so perfect, the gracekelly in the magazine is as beautiful as a fairy, and the wedding dress on her body is like a fairy dress, which can be made by extraordinary people, and it is against the backdrop of such clothes that the smile and happiness of the goddess can look so moving—"I really want to be such a bride, wear such a wedding dress!" When the girls poured out their envy and expectations around this photo, Jin Shuxian was no exception. Making the perfect wedding dress for her wedding was the first prototype of her dream. When she was in college, she fantasized about her wedding with Lim Yongjun countless times, and based on this motivation, she designed the first well-received "Yun" series of wedding dresses. In the end, although he was not able to marry him and put on a wedding dress designed by himself, this dream developed into a broader direction.
Yes, every wedding dress carries a woman's dream, and Kim Shuxian understands this dream. So much so that she will do her best to make every wedding dress.
Based on this state of workaholism, today, Shuxian, Xiao Wei and Mengmeng once again straightened their work until eight o'clock in the evening before stopping their work. Shuxian felt sorry for the two little girls' hard work recently, so she urged them to hurry home for dinner, and forbade them to work overtime today.
After the two sensible assistants packed up their tools, finished saying hello, and left the studio one after the other, Jin Shuxian stretched her waist, stretched her limbs, and began to lie on her back on the rattan chair in a relaxed state, quietly admiring this "perfect love" that was close to completion.
A burst of applause suddenly sounded from behind him, pulling Jin Shuxian back from the empty state.
She turned her head, her face turned cold in an instant, and her brows were furrowed at this moment—just because the man who appeared in front of her eyes was the one she least wanted to see, Lin Yongjun.
