58 Countdown to the start of the show: five days
"Where should Master Zheng's seat be arranged?"
Thanks to the experience of Shanghai Fashion Week, when Sally was crying, Qiao Yun didn't have to make a cameo appearance in person, but played a little bit in the studio, and the most rare thing was that Brother Qing was also there - speaking of which, the mode of holding an exhibition they engaged in this time, as a new brand, it was still a loss to engage in the closing show, but it was just a benefit of being famous. In addition to the old relationship before, new customers should wait for the closing show to finish and then come to get quotations and see the sales money, but at that time it was the end of the fashion week, and the buyer's business trip time limit would not be extended because of a show. Now the workload over there is not as big as the Shanghai Fashion Week, and some old customers come to see the goods and get quotations, and Brother Qing doesn't have to watch the field, he can get out and accompany Qiao Yun to fart.
"Why don't you leave the professor alone, and let her old man give the town a townβthe farther away from those magazine editors the better. β
"That's it. Qiao Yun thought so, pulled up the small flag representing Master Zheng, and picked up another one, "What about Senior Brother Shi? I don't think he will come, but I have to leave one in the first row." β
"Then put it aside. Brother Qing took the small flag and looked around-the sides are full, there are always many people who must be arranged in the first row, but they may not come back, and they must be arranged on the side for the sake of the good look of the scene, and now the side seats are overcrowded. "Uh-"
In the end, it is a new brand, and there are not many guests who can ensure that they will come, most of them still look at the relationship between Professor Gu, Qiao Yun was annoyed, and simply poked all the guests to the first row, "The rest will be sent for free when the time comes, or pay for some support, 100 an hour, applaud when you go one set, and whistle when you go another, and don't give money if it's not lively." β
Brother Qing laughed, but β‘β‘ put it back in the end, "Hey, speaking of which...... What about Mr. Fu's flag, why haven't I seen it?"
"There," Qiao Yun said, "in the first row with Mandy, don't worry, I can't treat your Mr. Fu badly." β
"How is it from my family?"
"I care so much about him, why isn't it from your family?" Qiao Yun asked rhetorically, and said after a while, "Did he come back?" Didn't he say he could come back on the first day?"
Brother Qing couldn't help but smile secretly, and his tone was naturally casual, "I should be back, he told me before that he met Mandy at Sallyhe's show, and confirmed the closing show with her." β
Business trips are generally set dates, since Fu Zhan said that he could catch up with the first day of the show, then he will definitely come back, Qiao Yun should not know, her words have to be heard on another level: if you come back, why don't you come to report?ββ although Fu Zhan is a suitor, but it has not reached the point where he wants him to die far away like Brother Hong, and he is always a little worried. I don't want to be caught up, I'm annoyed if I'm close, I don't want to go far, I'm a little lost when I'm decoupled, this is the most basic human nature, there is nothing to judge, how many love masters are so cold and hot to chase their sweethearts. Qiao Yun is also a human being, how can she be an exception? Tilting his head and thinking about it, there was a little smile on his lips, as if he wanted to speak, Brother Qing, as the biggest fan of Fu Zhan, was in a happy mood, just waiting for her to pounce on the net and make fun of her.
At this moment, the phone rang, and he snorted in annoyance, and when he saw the caller, he was even more unhappy.
βandyγ He said, "I guess it's the lamp again, why didn't he change his surname to Deng - hey Mr. Andy, it's hard work, I watched the show yesterday, wow, the effect is really great - don't worry about the lamp, we haven't entered the venue yet-huh?"
Qiao Yun didn't pay attention at first, and waited for the silence on Brother Qing's side to look abnormal: I don't know when, Brother Qing had already walked to the window, holding his phone with a solemn expression, "Hmm...... Hmmm......"
Andy didn't know what to say, he took a deep breath, "...... Understood, thank you, brother, I owe you once. β
Qiao Yun put down the little flag and walked over, she already had a premonition in her heart, but it was very strange, at this time she was calm, and when Brother Qing hung up the phone and didn't speak, she just looked at him and waited, Brother Qing pinched the phone in a daze for a few seconds, and then took a breath.
"Andy said that our show may be canceled - yesterday Sally was very unhappy after the show, he felt that he had been deceived, and he couldn't tell what the specific mental journey was, anyway, she called an elder named 'Uncle Liu' on the spot to cry, Dy felt that this was very inappropriate, but Uncle Liu didn't seem to agree quickly, this morning he went to help again, seeing that Sally's mood eased down, he felt a little dangerous, so he called us to remind him. β
Brother Qing paused, "He said that Sally's relationship should be directly with the chairman of the organizing committee, that is, the president of the Fashion Designers Association of City B and President Zhang, who is also the president of the China Fashion Designers Association, 'Uncle Liu' should be very strong in front of President Zhang, Sally disdains to contact President Zhang directly, and only talks directly to 'Uncle Liu' if there is something to do...... He knew so much, and sally rarely said anything else. β
After tossing for so long, this backstage has finally surfaced: the relationship goes straight to President Zhang, no wonder the secretary general can't say anything, his position is limited to the organizing committee, and he is not so prominent in the B City Fashion Designers Association, let alone a national industry organization. The only one who can carry it with Chairman Zhang is Professor Gu - this President Zhang still has a certain official background, he has an administrative level, and if there is no corresponding level, it is really difficult to rely on the internal title of a non-governmental organization.
Qiao Yun didn't say a word, took out the phone and called Professor Gu, she didn't even answer a few dials, she didn't speak, put the mobile phone on the desktop and waited, Brother Qing is younger, although he is calmer than ordinary people, but his heart is beating so hard that he can't help but speak, "If he wants to cancel, he has to go through the process, it's all come to this point, the invitations have been sent, and the exhibition schedule has been printed and pasted, how can you say that it will be canceled?"
This is self-comforting, Qiao Yun knows, but she won't leave herself with many illusions. "Do you know what Chinese characteristics are? Do you have to find a reason to cancel, and if you don't find a reason for plagiarism, you can be considered worthy of you...... Okay, let's not talk about that, let's ask first. β
Brother Qing doesn't know this? It's just that he has illusions and doesn't want to accept the facts, he turned around and kicked against the wall, snorted and didn't say more, Qiao Yun turned over his phone to see the time: I got off work yesterday, no matter what happened to Uncle Liu, I have to do it this morning, calculate the time to call, President Zhang should be communicating with Professor Gu now. He couldn't come forward to the friction between juniors before, the closing show, the sally noisy movement, but Qiao Yun could barely be said to be the beneficiary, he could also hide, and now that he wants to cancel, he has to give Professor Gu an explanation. - This is also called Qiao Yun's backer is hard, if you are a local designer from the pheasant school, if you cancel it, you will be canceled, and you will be blackened, you have to explain, who are you when you are?
After waiting for about ten minutes, Qiao Yun's phone rang as expected, it was Professor Gu, her tone was full of traces of emotion, "Xiao Qiao, you just called me?"
"I also received the news here," Qiao Yun asked, "Teacher, are you in the organizing committee office?"
"Well, I'll give you a call back. Professor Gu said, and didn't bother to ask her sources, "This kind of thing has never happened and shouldn't have happened, don't worry, I will fight to the end." β
"I'm not worried," Qiao Yun said immediately, "Teacher, don't be burdened, if you can, you can fight for it, if you can't fight for it, forget it, isn't it just a show, if you don't open it, you won't open it, don't make too much trouble with the president." β
This is what she is most worried about now, with Professor Gu's arrogant character, how can she accept that her students are being ridden on the head? Moreover, this matter is indeed her own reason, she will definitely not accept a result, she has such a high character, and she has a heavy face, I am afraid that she will give up everything to fight for herself, and I am afraid that in the end it will completely turn its face, and the designer association will not be able to stay.
Professor Gu also seemed to feel that he didn't have a good chance of winning, so he didn't comfort Qiao Yun, but just said, "They can't bully people to this point" and hung up the phone, his voice contained hidden anger, but he was not very sure. Qiao Yun hung up the phone and began to collect the bag, "I'll go to the organizing committee." β
"I'll go with you. Brother Qing followed a few steps.
"Don't go, go. Qiao Yun glanced at Brother Qing, and her tone was deliberately more stable, "Go and have a meeting with Bai Qian, think about how to improve your popularity, if you can't open that piece, you can't delay, understand?"
Millions have been spent, and now of course, we have to earn the money back as soon as possible, and if the show can't be opened, there will be a sense of emptiness psychologically, but it doesn't mean that the world will be destroyed. Brother Qing is also the material for entrepreneurship in the end, Qiao Yun didn't panic, and he slowly calmed down, "Got it, then let's go together." β
Halfway through, I couldn't help but ask, "Do you think it can be redeemed?"
Qiao Yun didn't answer him.

"I've never heard of anything like this......"
The office area of the organizing committee is actually not big, it is a temporarily rented suite in a hotel near the convention and exhibition center, and when the door is opened, you can hear the faint quarrel in the conference room, Secretary General Shi is patrolling back and forth at the door, his face is full of uneasiness, and he sees Qiao Yun coming up hurriedly, with a reassuring look, "Senior sister-"
Qiao Yunli ignored him, walked to the door of the conference room and knocked on the door to advance, and closed Secretary General Shi out of the door with his hand, "Teacher." β
The quarrel in the door eased a little, Professor Gu and the middle-aged man who kept wiping his sweat behind the desk, and the middle-aged man with a helpless expression looked over, Qiao Yun walked over and patted Professor Gu, Professor Gu was still angry, and threw her off, "It's not that you don't want to come, why are you disobedient?"
"Always come and see what's going on. Qiao Yun smiled and looked directly at President Zhang, "The show is going to be canceled, can you not come?"
After all, this matter is a loss, and Chairman Zhang was also a little angry with the victim, his eyes avoided for a moment, and then said emphatically to Professor Gu, "There is also a precedent for this kind of adjustment-isn't Lao Zheng's show adjusted to the first day? Sister Gu, it's normal for the organizing committee's schedule to change-"
"Why don't you say who is behind Lao Zheng's transfer?" Professor Gu didn't let an inch, and immediately replied with a sneer. Qiao Yun stopped her in the middle, "Okay, okay, don't make any noise." If the show is not opened, it will not be opened, and the noise will not be effective. β
Professor Gu was angry, and President Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, it's still a young man who understands things." Xiao Qiao, if you have any ideas, just say that the organizing committee will compensate you if it can compensate you. β
"Okay," Qiao Yun was not polite, and agreed, "I spent eight million budget to prepare for this show, and now there is no reason why I can't open it, and I won't say double, my budget, the organizing committee should compensate me, right?"
The two sides wrestled, President Zhang was pressured to make a move, and the support behind him was extremely abundant, Qiao Yun's side always had no good result by hitting the stone with an egg, and this is also the reason why he is so confident: he really doesn't get out of the way, even if he fights out now, when the show opens, a fire inspection before the show starts, so how can it be calculated? Uncle Liu's instruction quota is still a concession prepared by himself for the sake of industry fame, but no matter what, the eight million that this lion opened his mouth must not be satisfied, and his eyebrows suddenly rose again, "Xiao Qiao, you are talking nonsense!"
"Why are you talking nonsense? The venue layout and staff salaries add up to more than 4 million, and I haven't counted the money to hire models. Qiao Yun sneered, "President Zhang, do you think there is someone behind you? You go out to inquire, is it now that any graduate can afford to hold a show with eight million?"
When asked about President Zhang's weakness, he was imposed. Qiao Yun's face became more and more sneering, and she said with some disdain, "Don't you just want to take a step forward to the CPPCC and mix up a level of pension?" Zhang Lao, I can't fight between Sallyhe and the Liu family, but if I want to make trouble with you, I have time." It's okay if you don't let me start a show, I'll turn around and leave with eight million, I don't have any money and I don't have to explain, are you treating me for a fool?"
The softer she is, the more official President Zhang becomes, and now that she is so tough, President Zhang can't be tough, he moved uneasily, and exchanged a few glances with Secretary General Shi, who was slightly exposed behind the door, - Professor Gu is not uncommon to take care of students, she loves talent, and she will push up without background, but no matter how much she loves talent, it is impossible to give so much money to hold shows, lighting, design, and models...... This can't be hidden, Qiao Yun really spent money to hold this show.
President Zhang turned back and looked at Qiao Yun, neither of them spoke, Qiao Yun's eyes were burning, his body leaned forward a little bit, President Zhang was looked at more and more backwards, and his tone softened unconsciously, "Young people, don't have such a big temper, good business, what problems can't be solved?" Eight million is definitely impossible, the organizing committee does not have this budget ......"
"If you don't have this budget, you ask Mr. Liu. Qiao Yun said, "Or go directly to Sallyhe, the money hasn't arrived, this matter is not over, you might as well ask Mr. Liu, do you want to go to the big news of using power for personal gain?"
She really did it, Fan Lifeng couldn't find where Sally came from, at least it means that she is not a person who can't be provoked, she didn't look for it before, because there are so many calls in the mobile phone address book, as long as you are willing to pay the price, you can't do anything? Qiao Yun was very calm when she said this, she was really forced to this point, she did everything-because of this, this calm honesty revealed absolute power, so that President Zhang did not dare to force his eyes.
He snorted for a while: This matter is indeed sally's unreasonable, maybe she is angry and unwilling to give it, but Uncle Liu can spoil sally so much, millions of drizzles, if you want to settle the matter, you shouldn't be able to pay it.
"This ...... You're embarrassing me," he wavered a little, but still hesitatedβthe price was going to be killed a little bit, "Little Joeβ"
"Of course," Qiao Yun admitted without hesitation, and she said coldly, "Is a dog so good?"
This was said too much, Professor Gu laughed when he heard it, President Zhang couldn't stand it, his face was flushed, and he wanted to talk about it, and said for a long time, "Qiao Yun, be a man and leave a line, don't go too far." β
Qiao Yun didn't care, just smiled, revealing contempt, President Zhang had the feeling of being humiliated, and he stood up to speak for a while, but saw Professor Gu who was cold-eyed on the side and softened again: he was the president of the administrative sequence, he didn't have the skills in his hands, and he wouldn't be tough when he spoke, and Professor Gu really wanted to gather Master Zheng and him to break the net, and he couldn't parry it.
"Is it interesting?" Qiao Yun waited for a long time without waiting to fight back, and asked him, but President Zhang couldn't answer, "I'll give you thirty minutes, you can call casually to discuss, and give me a result after thirty minutes. β
She turned around and pulled Professor Gu's sleeve, and the master and apprentice didn't give Secretary General Shi a smile on their faces, and raised their heads and brushed their sleeves away. Leaving Secretary-General Shi and Chairman Zhang, he quietly closed the door, and his face was full of stories.
#
Waiting for news in the territory of the 'enemy', the two of them didn't have to say anything, they just sat silently on the sofa, and the secretary outside couldn't bear the atmosphere, and left soon after. Only then did they get a little **, Professor Gu stood up, walked to the window and looked at the traffic downstairs, Qiao Yun followed behind her, and the camera gently persuaded, "Teacher, it's really nothing...... Isn't it just an award, a show, Beijing Fashion Week is amazing? β
She also really thinks so, if this time it is the four major fashion weeks, and it suddenly stops before the show, then Qiao Yun knows that her reaction will not be so calm, Beijing Fashion Week is only, if it is not opened, it will not be opened, there is no need to worry too much, performance is the main thing, sally is rich and powerful, what if you are rich and powerful? The loss may be a little bit, but it is the teacher's emotions that are more worried.
"Really, if Beijing doesn't leave, isn't there still Shanghai in the second half of the year?" she racked her brains to make Professor Gu happy, "Isn't it like I won't show off in the future......"
"I know," Professor Gu seemed to come back from her thoughts, she waved her hand, and stopped Qiao Yun's reassurance as expected, "Isn't it just Beijing Fashion Week......
The muscles in the corners of her eyes jumped, and she turned her face to look at the knotted car dragon on the second ring road, "It's not a big deal...... Just ......"
She sighed, sniffled, cleared her throat again, and shook her head, "It's just that the teacher can only help here......"
In the last sentence, Professor Gu said very quietly, but Qiao Yun's heart twitched fiercely, as if she had been stabbed, she called out in a dumb voice, "Teacher......"
There was a little noise in the conference room, the shoulders of the master and apprentice both straightened up at the same time, and almost instantly they were armed with a face of indifference, when the door opened, all the fragility was gone, and the momentum of turning back seemed to bring wind and clouds, Secretary General Shi was intimidated by the momentum, and actually took a step back, coughed unnaturally, and then beckoned the two to enter.
"Four million. President Zhang must have been instructed, and as soon as they entered, they quickly said, "If you want it, don't make trouble, there's no more." β
Four million, which can almost cover the entire cost, and even more, Qiao Yun agreed, "Yes, I want cash, transfer it to me immediately." β
She gave the account number, and the money was called in less than ten minutes, and the payer displayed was an unrelated name, President Zhang read the text message in the account, and smiled, "Okay, this matter can be regarded as a happy result." β
I also want to get close to Professor Gu again and ease the relationship with Qiao Yun, "This time is indeed a special situation, in fact, Mr. Liu and I are very sorry in our hearts, in the second half of the year, if there is still a chance in the second half of the year, the opening show will be arranged for you, Xiao Qiao, do you think it's okay?"
Qiao Yun was impatient to ignore him, rolled her eyes, turned around and left with Professor Gu, Professor Gu was still in a bad mood, got out of the elevator and said that there was something wrong with the school, get in the car and leave first, Qiao Yun also understood her mood, and didn't bother much, and returned to the studio to call Brother Qing and them, but the two of them were already waiting there.
"Jiaojiao......" Bai Qian wanted to speak and stopped, but she didn't dare to ask, as if Qiao Yun was a glass vase that would break when she touched it-as soon as she opened her mouth, Brother Qing pinched her, she screamed in pain, and there was no more.
Qiao Yun was laughed at, she spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders, Bai Qian and Brother Qing's tense breath came out at once, and their shoulders hung down, Bai Qian snorted and said, "How can you ...... like this"
Brother Qing is still a little unwilling, "Or, find some more relationships...... Ask David, didn't he go to Sally's showβ"
"The money is all back, and what are you asking. Qiao Yun said, "Qianqian, you go and call the guests on the invitation letter and inform them that the show has been canceled, saying that it can only be canceled because of the requirements of the organizing committee and force majeure...... Ask them if they are interested in watching the video, and if so, we can send the video file later. β
"Brother Qing, you will continue to do the publicity, the customers in Shanghai in the last quarter, one by one, do a return visit, remember to count the sales volume. Also, find out if there is a small studio nearby, see if you can coordinate it, and find a time to shoot in the next few days...... If you can't leave the show, you can shoot a video, and the key is to catch up with the timing of the text. β
She thought, "I'll call Wenwen myself later, and you go to the studio first." β
The continuous instructions, the methodical train of thought and her calm attitude somewhat paralyzed the frustration of the two little friends, and also gave them new hope, while responding to each other, Qiao Yun sat in front of the computer and was stunned for a few seconds, hesitated, and still opened the email page: mandypark may be at the order meeting now, and it is better to communicate by phone than by email.
[Due to the arrangement of the organizing committee and some force majeure reasons, the fashion show scheduled for the last day can only be unfortunately cancelled, and there may not be a chance to hold a fashion show at Beijing Fashion Week in the future.] I'm very sorry for your enthusiasm for adjusting the time twice to come to the show, and I would like to take the liberty of asking, you mentioned about Tokyo Fashion Week before......]
She didn't mention it to anyone, but Mandy was very satisfied with [Yun's] sales in Europe, although the number of pieces was small, but the sales were good, and in the communication between the two, she hinted that if the Beijing Fashion Week, [Yun] show was well received, she might use her personal connections to get her a seat at Tokyo Fashion Week. Qiao Yun didn't say it before because she was afraid that good things would fail, but she disappointed her subordinates, and now the situation is getting worse, but no matter how slim her hope is, she also wants to try to see if she can take this opportunity to open the channel to Tokyo Fashion Week, [I can provide a video of this fashion show, although the venue effect may not be so good, but I can ensure that all ideas are original ......]
Her mobile phone vibrated continuously, and she received a cancellation notice to ask about the situation: parents, Chen Rongrong, and a big customer who had decided to come to see before...... There are some calls that Qiao Yun doesn't want to answer, but some can't help but answer.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that there is something wrong with the organizing committee, yes, it's actually nothing, and there will be a chance later...... You and your mother just don't come, and it's not easy to get on the plane......"
"Yes, the organizing committee may have other considerations, but Rong Rong is open, you can bring the boss over to have a look......"
"It's not a big problem, it's just that the concept is a little bit inconsistent, yes, it doesn't affect production...... Boss Huang, we are all brands that are going to Tokyo to open a show, don't you think it's inappropriate to ask this......
Laughing and scolding, one phone call after another, while conceiving emails, Qiao Yun either concealed or deceived or bragged, a person perfunctory, the phone hung up and rang, and finally they all became numb, plugged in the charger, and the phone vibrated and picked up, "Hey, hello?"
The other side didn't speak for a long time, Qiao Yun fed a few times, turned over and looked at the screen, it was not the number in the address book, but the string of numbers was recognized at a glance.
"How do you know?" she said, her voice hoarse, and she quickly cleared her throat.
"Li Zhu is your big customer and has an invitation letter. Qin Wei's voice was very low. "Are you crying?"
"No!" Qiao Yun snorted, "talking too much and making her voice hoarse." β
She pushed the keyboard tray away, turned and walked to the window, "What do you want to do?"
ββ¦β¦ Tell me about the situation. Qin Wei's tone was also very calm.
It seems that Fan Lifeng really didn't use it as a microphone, Qiao Yun let out, stretched her waist, raised her forehead and rolled her eyes, she was suddenly so tired that it was difficult to argue with Qin Wei.
"It's just that there is a girl who has a show this year, and she thinks my limelight is too strong......" she explained a few words casually, "Later, her own show may not have a good response, so she simply didn't let me open it, it's as simple as that." β
"If you don't let you open it, you won't open it?" Qin Wei asked, "So obedient?"
"If you don't let me open it, I'll open it in a lot of places, rare?" Qiao Yun's temper also came up, "Then what else should I do? I'm already going back, Tokyo is in contact, don't I open it, I won't open it, break the fashion week, rare? β
"No matter what happens to you in the future, this time it's just like that?" Qin Wei didn't give up, "You have been preparing for so long, and money is only an investment, is there no other way to give up like this?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do!" Qiao Yun was really annoyed by him, her temper suddenly lost control, and her calmness that she had held all day was disintegrated by a few words, all her irritability was rolled up, and all her anger was directed at him, she shouted to the phone, "Is there a way I don't want to!" It's only five days, where to find a venue? How to change the lighting? How to notify the guests? The fashion is over on Monday, and the guests are all gone, and I'm a fart! I can't open it, I can't open it! Do you understand? What do you want me to do with the other than to get the money back and go somewhere else to open it? Do you think the show is to open a beer, and you can open it when you say it? Can you say a few words about what you don't understand?
She felt a sore throat after she finished yelling, touched her cheeks, cold, full of tears, covered the microphone and took a deep breath while going to draw paper, for fear that the sobbing sound would be heard by him, but all this could not be hidden from Qin Wei, "Crying?"
"No!" she wanted to roar again, but halfway through the roar turned into a cough, Qiao Yun coughed so hard that she couldn't stand, and sat on the ground, leaning on the desk and looking out the window at the haze, still stubborn. ββ¦β¦ Nope!"
"Obviously, I cried. Qin Wei scoffed on the other end of the phone, but before she could get angry, he asked, "......What if?" I'll help you find a venue in five days, you can't start this show?"
Qiao Yun sat up straight, and before he answered, he hesitated, "What do you want to do, don't make trouble for yourself-I tell you that there is someone behind people-"
"You don't care about this!" Qin Wei interrupted her in an accentuated tone, "I'll just ask you, if I help you find the venue and guests, the news reporter...... Five days, a brand new venue, a big show, you can't open it?"
It's a challenge, and a new venue means a new design, a new runway, new lighting, rehearsals, PRs, guest invitations, and it's hard to say who will come when you do it. Qiao Yun won't fail to understand these things - she had just done it all once, but Qin Wei's words still ignited the blood in her heart, she bit her lip, and her strength was so strong that she was bleeding, "...... Why are you like this? It's not like the sky is falling apart, really, a lot of solutions are not the end of the world, why are you like this-"
These words comforted everyone, but they couldn't comfort him, and they were perfunctory to everyone, but Qin Wei didn't take it seriously at all.
"But I don't want that. He said categorically on the other end of the phone, "I don't want you to be like this." β
He didn't say too much, didn't show too much emotion, he just asked, "Just tell me, you can't start this show." β
ββ¦β¦β
"You go and find it, and if you can find it, then I'll show it to you. 166 Reading Network
