Chapter Forty-Six: Meeting April Days
As the old saying goes: fifteen years are not over. As a celebration that continues from Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lantern Festival pushes this tradition of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new to another level. But for the end of summer, such joy has never been relevant to her.
As soon as the sixth day of the first month passed, I went to G City at the end of summer. The first is to reunite with loved ones; The second is to shoot the latest spring/summer fashion campaign for the revamped E-LIFE. The French photographer for this collaboration is also an old acquaintance, David Kutner, who previously shot advertising inserts for her, and was lucky enough to meet Franny, a designer and fashion magazine editor of a famous brand, at the end of the summer.
DK looked at the camera screen and sighed again at the good conditions at the end of summer, few people can produce such a good film in such a short time, even the experienced supermodels he is working with now need to run in. Some talents are innate, and they can't be envied. I will agree to this shoot because of my appreciation for the end of summer and the request of my friends.
DK put down the camera: "Honey, you can actually consider going to France to develop?" Modelling is a perfect profession for you, and I think you're going to be amazed by Paris. I can help you make zuò model cards, I have a lot of photos of you here, and I can also help you introduce them. ”
Xia Mo smiled: "Thank you, for the time being." I'm just an ordinary girl, and I'm too young, and too much flash can disorient me. "Looking at the unprocessed film at the end of summer, concise and capable, elegant and intellectual, this is what E-LIFE wants to present.
Frannie looked at the girl's side face and handed over her business card: "It's nice to meet you, and I hope to work with you if I have the chance." Our company's new fragrance line is planned to be introduced to the Chinese market, and we have been selecting the right local spokesperson, and I have seen your inserts amazingly, and DK has been recommending you to me. He's very eye-catching, you're great. ”
Xia Mo took the business card with both hands and said with a smile: "I am also looking forward to the opportunity to work with you, but after all, I am still young and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it." If you still need it, it's my pleasure. "There's no girl who doesn't have any illusions about the fashion industry, and it's the same at the end of summer, and she's a little excited." Sorry I don't have a business card, DK has my email address, if your company thinks I can, then I'm willing to try. Waiting for your good news. ”
At the end of the summer, she also knew that large companies were picky about image spokespersons, and this brand was introduced into China for the first time, and she was definitely not the only one who had the final say, so she had reservations in speaking. It's just that the polite reply didn't hold out much hope, after all, she didn't have a reputation, but she didn't expect that this encounter was the www.biquge.info of her career.
Fang Wan wrapped the end of summer with a coat: "I didn't expect that our tomboy actually has such a feminine side, and the fashion blockbuster is really very deceptive." ”
Guo Qing carefully selected the photos: "The photos on the cover must be enough, and we will ask someone to speed up the release of some of them." Thank you so much. Although Guo Qing was bleeding from this cooperation, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the effect was so amazing: There is still a reason why it is expensive.
Originally, it was Li Li and Guangdao who received DK, but the two who finally achieved positive results spent the New Year and left their son to go abroad for their honeymoon. This also allows young couples to experience what it is like to be parents early, to paraphrase Fang Hiren: children are the scariest creatures in the world.
After spending a few days in City G, I returned to City B at the end of the summer after seeing DK and Frannie away, because classes began at the twelfth day of the first month of the first month, and the furniture ordered a few years ago would also be delivered in the next few days.
“1,2,3。” The four of them worked together to put the couch back in place, then sat on the couch and looked around. At the end of summer, one person poured a cup of boiling water and put it on the coffee table, leaning against the wall and looking at his room. The warmth revealed everywhere, several people hand-DIY layout without dead ends, hand-painted on the wall, beads on the balcony, handmade fake flowers on the table, and coasters on the coffee table.
Sun Jiaqi put her feet on the coffee table, closed her eyes and leaned comfortably on the sofa: "Suddenly I was a little jealous of the end of summer, it was so cool to have my own room." ”
Xu Winnie responded: "That is, especially the exclusive cloakroom, envy, jealousy and hatred." She opened the cloakroom that had been separated by the stairs, small but very regular. Tilting shoe racks, inlaid wardrobes, dressers, large and small drawers.
Zhang Aiping looked at these exquisite jewelry and clothes under the light, and jokingly said: "If you didn't live with us, we would also think that you were Xiaomi, who was by, a wealthy businessman." ”
This cloakroom is actually very empty, the jewelry inside comes from someone's gift and some cheap and delicate little things, the clothes are the company's new models that were stuffed with two boxes by Fang, and several people have made classifications, the left side is intellectual and elegant, and the right side is youthful and athletic; There are also only one or two pairs of heels on the shelf now, and the rest of the space is taken up by sneakers and flats.
Sun Jiaqi looked at a photo of five people in her hand: "If she can be ** like this, I don't think a few of us will be single." As he spoke, he gossiped closer: "Have you heard, the secretary of the Youth League Committee of our school is going to be replaced, he is a senior brother who graduated from the Institute of Economic Research, and I heard that he is a very good character; And the family is powerful, and the most important thing is not to be disabled, but to be a very smart person. Master's degree in Economics, Bachelor's Degree in Law. ”
Zhang Aiping said objectively: "It's the secretary of the Youth League branch, but it's really young." ”
Xu Wenni held a skirt and gestured: "As long as these eunuchs are not stupid, they can be arranged at home, and everyone's resume is similar and terrifying." Do you think I look good in this dress? ”
At the end of summer, I glanced at a white gauze dress, which was very suitable for Xu Wenni's temperament, and nodded: "This is the new style of this year's summer dress, it suits you well, try it and see the upper body effect." ”
Sun Jiaqi saw that the end of summer was so casual, and immediately grabbed a set of navy blue jumpsuits: "I took a fancy to this early in the morning, I'll take it." ”
Xia Mo smiled and nodded, turned his head and picked out a black short dress: "Apple, this one is definitely too short for me, go try it." Zhang Aiping took it happily and entered the curtain, and after a while, there was laughter.
At the end of the summer, she looked at the crystal lamp she specially picked and thought: This should be the life she wants, three or five friends are crazy and messing around together, wearing each other's clothes, and evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of their figures.
The curtain opened, and Winnie Xu said excitedly: "At the end of summer, let's go to the bar." The three of them looked at the end of the summer together, and Sun Jiaqi flatteringly pinched her shoulder: "We are very curious about this place, and today is the Cloud Festival, can we watch the party at home?" ”
At the end of the summer, he asked, "You all want to go?" Only Zhang Aiping hesitated, but was glared at by the other two and nodded hesitantly. Xia Mo muttered for a while: "But, what if I'm not an adult yet?" ”
Several people wailed, and Xu Wenni shouted: "You are so tall, you should be fine with mature makeup." Late summer, late summer, please. ”
Looking at the coquettish and expectant eyes of several people, Xia Mo nodded reluctantly: "Go, wash your face, and prepare for makeup." Several people cheered, rushing to the end of the summer with a fierce kiss. I opened the drawer and pulled out a strip of denim at random, and picked out a V-neck sweater and light-colored small heels.
The world is wonderful, and often on the way to escape fate, you will encounter it unexpectedly.
Li Zhuoxin was taken to a completely unfamiliar place by Ma Kai's car after dinner, and he asked puzzledly: "Didn't you go to my uncle's shop?" Could it be that this 'April Day' was newly opened by my uncle? Isn't this grade changing too fast? ”
Ma Kai looked at the waitress walking past him, with a vacuum belly pocket on her upper body and a short skirt with a slit on her lower body. The two of them smiled and walked to the private room as usual. The long and narrow corridors, the warm lighting, and the mural on the walls that suggest obvious meanings are all about the charming mood.
When I opened the door of the private room, the space was scary, with a soft carpet, neat sofa pillows, tall crystal chandeliers, and a whole wall of screens. Several people in the box are playing mahjong, or playing snooker, or fighting landlords.
Han Lele put down the poker and let the people around him top it and greeted him: "Brother is finally back, I miss you so much." As he spoke, he threw himself at the person, but was pushed away by Li Zhuoxin.
Xu Qiliang fell in love with the hemp table the most, holding a cigarette and touching the cards: "The birthday star has arrived, wait first, and then serve you after this circle is over." That hemp card is dedicated to the master to put mines, but the master was born as an engineer, don't you know? Chick. ”
Everyone in this circle has their own protective color, Li Zhuoxin is gentle and polite, Xu Qiliang is all-round and ruffian, Han Lele is cynical, and Uncle Zhuo's money is supreme. In the final analysis, they all have their own calculations and considerations.
He said happily: "It seems that Brother Liang is really open, and all the cards that are so raw are out." Wait for me to blossom. ”
Ma Kai hooked his neck: "Why are you kid like this, dare you be a little more disgusting." But this place is well chosen, and the taste is harmonious. How much did you lose this time? Looking at it, the more frustrated it is, the more courageous it becomes. ”
Han Lele begged for mercy: "Brother, my own brother, just spare me with your strength." This looks like it's been the third lap and hasn't been nonsense, and the luck is too stinky. Then he exclaimed, "Is this place a place that is piled up with money?" I've heard that the service here is this. Han Lele gave a thumbs up and raised his eyebrows.
Ma Kai sat on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs: "Look at you, it's not like that." Be careful of your uncle's cut. ”
Li Zhuoxin looked around and asked, "Where is my brother-in-law?" ”
Zhuo Changyuan walked around the clubhouse to understand the situation and just returned to the box, pushed open the door and said with a smile: "Here, how is this place?" I'm tired of going to my place when I'm old, so I'll change your mood today. A single card charge here is 200,000 jumps, and it is the most rudimentary. Fortunately, we have Ma Kai's money bag, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get in. ”
As soon as Han Lele heard this, he knew that Uncle Zhuo was still hating what he was hiding, and immediately begged for mercy: "Uncle, my own uncle, just spare me, this is my old man's card, I have contributed it to you." After speaking, he immediately took out a black card with exquisite workmanship.
Ma Kai patted him on the back of the head: "You kid is not a trick, you have money to earn by yourself, so you have to let your old man go to my uncle's to spend." Besides, just this rag, who is rare, don't put it away. You say yes, uncle. ”
Looking at the flattering two, Li Zhuoxin ignored them and said directly: "What, this place threatens you?" It's also something out of the box, why is it so high-profile and a little off-the-beaten-eye? ”
Zhuo Changyuan smiled: "Liu Peng, the niece and son-in-law of the Li family, is very fat. This place was brought over from someone else, and after a year of renovation and half a year of opening, there are thousands of female public relations people. These clubs are also about that kind of thing, but people have flower heads, and this layer is a trick. I just asked, the worst female PR will not earn less than this amount per month. He crossed his fingers and pouted.
Ma Kai was stunned and scolded: "Grandma, sooner or later, you have to eat black dates (take a gun)." ”
Han Lele was happy: "Brother, this matter is going to eat black dates in the sixties and seventies, and now it will cost more money." Just at the arrogant appearance of Old Man Li, it is estimated that he will not even get the money, so he will make a show of it. Grandma, this business is much better than my old man's mixed construction site. There are so many houses that no one buys, I owe the bank a lot of money, and the phone calls come from two ends in three days, and those few hairs will fall out sooner or later. ”
Li Zhuoxin looked at his brother-in-law suspiciously: "It's been open for half a year, why did you come to see it today, don't say it's for me to celebrate, I know my weight." ”
Xu Qiliang smiled: "Can the tiger grab food under his mouth without moving?" I heard that the April Day Bar opened a few years ago, and it was very popular, and many people have changed venues recently. Isn't our Xiaole the best example? Han Lele was also shot while lying down, and immediately sent fruit to the dog's leg.
Zhao Zhengkai nibbled on the orange: "No, most of the people in these four or nine cities are running here, and it will be too difficult to wipe their faces if they don't come to see it." "The Zhao family has always taken a political path, has taken root for a long time, and they are all in the same school, and they know each other more or less. The relationship between the two can only be described as friend and foe.
Qi Xin and Lu Yining put down the pool stick and walked over, and the thin Qi Xin said expressionlessly: "This place has been famous recently, and the procuratorate has also heard about it." "These two are similar in age and style, so they are taciturn and played. The Qi family is a discipline inspection system, and the Qingshui Yamen is the real power. The son of Lu Yining, the third aunt of the Li family, is an airborne soldier.
Lu Yining hugged Li Zhuoxin: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard my mother say that you are ready to come back." I thought you were the most ambitious of our generation, and it was so disappointing. Ma Kai immediately glared at him, and he was happy to hear that Li Zhuoxin was going to come back, which meant that he could also come back.
Zhuo Changyuan smiled: "If the old man hears this, your skin will be tightened." ”
Ma Kai roared: "What about the girls, what is the point of our group of big men staying, what about our fresh fruits? Why don't you go on it? ”
The eldest young man of the Qi family, who was sitting next to Zhuo Changyuan, said with a smile: "You kid is still the same as before, and you can't do without you." I'm not going crazy today. We can't let the eldest aunt of the Li family in the future talk to me and the other sisters in front of my brother-in-law. As soon as these words came out, everyone unanimously looked at Kang Hong, who was sitting in the corner, and laughed.
Kang Hong looked at Li Zhuoxin and smiled: "I thought Brother Zhuo invited me to watch the play today." The good news of him and Li Wenyin is known to the whole compound, and he doesn't care if others joke about him, as long as he can hug the beauty.
Zhuo Changyuan smiled: "You can see it in a while." Hey, with the bar monitor on, doesn't it mean you can see the dance floor of the bar? Talking about kicking Han Lele, who was gagging on the side.
Han Lele immediately took the remote control and turned on the monitoring, it turned out that the TV hanging on the left and right of the box was to show the real-time monitoring of each hall, as long as there was a girl who liked it, she could talk to the young master of the box, and April Day would come forward to coordinate.
Knock knock, knock on the door, several people stopped talking and pushed open the door in unison, and the show began.
