(Thank you for the reward of "Law" and "Fuel Ethanol", thank you for the evaluation vote of "Qingjunya", as well as the collection recommendation, friends who have been supporting this book, Happy Dragon Boat Festival!) Add a chapter of little care. )

After hastily handling the company's affairs that he had to decide personally, Li Jie left the rest to the elite, and hurried to Skylight Clarkson Plaza at 550 Washington Street for the Ralph Lauren Fall/Winter fashion show there.

This one is also the highlight of Fashion Week, and it is worth his participation.

The old man, Ralph Lauren, also deliberately talked to him for a while, obviously very face-saving. The 77-year-old man is still in good spirits and very talkative, but the two are quite speculative.

When Li Jie walked to his seat, he saw a beautiful woman appear next to him.

This is not surprising in the first place, generally speaking, most of the people who attend fashion week are female celebrities and female hipsters in the fashion industry, and there are relatively few male stars. The only thing that surprised Li Jie was that this was an Asian woman - people in Asia, South Korea, and Japan have relatively similar skin tones and appearances, and Americans are easy to confuse people from these countries, but Li Jie will not, the temperament of women in these countries has subtle but clear differences, so he concluded at a glance that this is a Chinese female star.

There are many Chinese stars who come to participate in New York Fashion Week every year, and he has seen a few in the last one. For these stars, watching the show is secondary, and gilding back to receive endorsements is the main purpose. After all, acting and singing are only a small part of the income of female stars, and more of their income often comes from advertising and endorsements. Participating in the four major fashion weeks can increase exposure, make them closer to internationalization, hook up with the symbol of fashion, and enhance their soft power in endorsements, so as to obtain more high-end and more lucrative endorsement opportunities, and even their salaries can rise.

However, behind the swarming stars, the treatment varies widely. There are very few Chinese stars who can really be invited by brand public relations or designers to watch the show, and there are often only real big names with old qualifications, such as Carina Lau, Fan Bingbing, and Zhou Xun. More often are celebrities' brokerage companies spending money to participate, or celebrities themselves at their own expense to attract attention, and some of them are not very famous and can even only go around outside the show, which is called "street photography".

There are even fewer people who can sit in the front row of the show, so it stands to reason that this should be a famous female star. However, he didn't recognize the other party, which can only be blamed on the original Li Jie who was too lonely and unheard of and didn't pay attention to this aspect.

"Hello, I'm Li Jie."

Fortunately, it didn't matter to Li Jie whether he knew him or not, he greeted him with a smile while observing the other party quietly.

The woman was dressed in a white two-piece suit, a thin jacket on the outside and a romper on the inside, with sky blue flowers dotted on it, looking very fresh. The face is just dressed in light makeup politely, the long copper-brown hair is combed into a ponytail after being combed, the hair strands on the top of the head are slightly loosened, the skin looks more ruddy and moving, revealing a heroic temperament, this completely different style makes Li Jie, who is used to seeing European and American actresses, can't help but shine.

"Hello, I'm Wang Likun, I'm glad to see you." Since he greeted in Chinese, the Chinese actress obviously felt very cordial as well. is different from Li Jie, since she came to participate in New York Fashion Week, her agent naturally did enough work for her in advance, so she recognized this super-rich man who is popular in the United States for the first time.

"I'm a little ashamed, such a beautiful lady, I didn't even recognize you, it seems that you are so lonely."

Although what he said was not pleasant, Li Jie's attitude was very frank, which made people feel bad.

"Thank you for the compliment, please don't say that."

Wang Likun didn't feel offended, after all, for Li Jie, who is in the United States, it is not unacceptable that he doesn't know himself. On the contrary, Li Jie's deep eyes made her feel unbearable, even if she was used to seeing handsome men and handsome guys in the entertainment industry, she still felt that this man had a mysterious and complex temperament, which made people can't help but fall into it.

In fact, Wang Likun is very happy to be invited by a big brand like Ralph Lauren, and it is the first time for her to sit in the front row to watch the show. It is said that it is just a show, but this task is not easy. Before I came, the agent told me a lot:

"Be sure to always be polite and smile; It is best to talk to the designer and take a commemorative photo with a handshake; When you sit in the first row, you should communicate with your neighbors so that your assistant and photographer can take pictures...... A lot of verbosity, all in all, you have to behave naturally and be familiar with the American fashion industry, otherwise you will go back to the media and website to publish something, and waste this invitation. ”

This is really a difficult thing for Wang Likun, she is not keen on hype, and she is not good at leaving and right, and she is also an alternative in the Chinese entertainment industry. Now there is a fellow who speaks Chinese who can communicate, and people don't look annoying, but there is no need to go to great lengths to pretend to be familiar. She had already seen her agent not far away desperately making gestures to make her enthusiastic, not to mention that the photographers who were not very active had not stopped since Li Jie sat down, almost wishing to put on their faces to take pictures, and they didn't need their little assistants to do it, I believe that I would be able to see the news of myself and Li Jie tomorrow, which shows the popularity of this man in the United States.

Li Jie obviously fulfilled the friendship of the landlord very well, so that Wang Likun smiled from ear to ear almost from the beginning, and he skillfully mastered the atmosphere and rhythm of communication, and most of the time passed unconsciously.

"I have to say, it was a pleasure to chat with you. Miss Wang, there is an AACR fashion charity dinner in the evening, I wonder if you are interested in attending? Towards the end, Li Jie wasted no time in making a request, and when he saw a trace of hesitation flashing on the other party's face, he immediately added. In this vast overseas, it is not easy to meet a beautiful hometowner, please let me do my best to be a landlord. ”

Wang Likun is a little uncomfortable with his American-style directness, and she feels a little embarrassed, after all, the two are only meeting for the first time, and it seems that the other party has a girlfriend. But Li Jie's attitude is very calm, if there is no suitable reason to refuse, it will seem that he is a little childish.

Wang Likun also knows a little about the charity dinner in the evening, countless big names and powerful people will appear, those are real big shots, if it weren't for Li Jie's invitation, it would be almost impossible for him to have the opportunity to participate, if the agent knew it, he would not hesitate to let her agree. The whole world knows that Hollywood is the center of the film and television industry, and any Chinese star will probably sharpen his head and drill into it, and he will hesitate when such an opportunity is sent to him, Wang Likun is a little stunned.

Her hesitation was indeed a bit unexpected for Li Jie, but it wasn't a problem. For him, if others can really refuse his invitation, it only means that his will is not strong. What Mephisto really wanted to do, I didn't like to hear rejection.

"You're not going to turn down my sincere invitation, it's sad. Or is there something you're struggling with? Miss Wang, if it's because of my presumptuousness, then I apologize. ”

Li Jie looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, showing a sincere and somewhat disappointed look, which made people feel guilty.

"Oh, no, no, thank you for the invitation, I should have time."

I don't know if it was affected by Li Jie's eyes, Wang Likun's words came to his lips and the refusal ghost shrank back like a god.

"It's amazing! Where do you live? I'll pick you up then. ”

Li Jie showed a bright smile, as warm and touching as the moment when the rain stopped and the clouds closed and the sun first appeared, which made the last trace of regret in Wang Likun's heart disappear.

Fashion dinners are different from shows, when watching the show, celebrities often dress casually, and fashion is generous and beautiful. The dinner was much more formal, and she basically attended in evening dresses, so Wang Likun obviously needed to go back and change her clothes

At the end of the whole show, Ralph Lauren went to the front row to shake hands with the stars who came to watch one by one, and specially pulled Li Jie to chat a few words, and Li Jie specially introduced Wang Likun to him.

"Your design is simply amazing, I love it very much, and it's an honor to be part of your launch." Wang Likun was a little excited in the face of this super designer who had built a fashion empire by himself, and it seemed that he was revered from the bottom of his heart.

"Wow, Bruce, this young lady is a mortal elf, and you have a very good eye."

With Ralph Lauren's status in the fashion industry, there is no need to be polite at all, obviously he also appreciates Wang Likun's beauty and temperament of Hibiscus.

Of course, maybe there are some reasons for Li Jie's face, and he even exchanged contact information with Wang Likun, which made Wang Likun excited in his heart.
