Chapter Seventy-Six: You're Back
In the black-and-white design room, Xiao Kaiyan leaned on the sofa and looked at the blinds boredly.
Although she tried her best to comfort herself, five years had passed, and Jiang Juan had no real threat to her, but she was still uneasy in her heart.
The chance encounter at the competition dinner was like a sensitive fuse, igniting her panic and resentment that had been silent for five years.
Outside the window, night is approaching, and the moonlight is shrouded in dark clouds, leaving only a long light white in the boundless night, dull and quiet.
"Boss, the information you asked for has been checked, but some of the information seems to have been deliberately concealed and some are vague."
Assistant Mischa was wearing a white professional suit, and when she pushed the door in, Xiao Kaiyan was staring at the blueprints in her notebook in a daze.
Startled by the assistant's footsteps, Xiao Kaiyan slowly came back to her senses and pressed her forehead with pain: "Is it information about Jiang Juan?"
Mischa nodded and handed the black folder in his hand to Xiao Kaiyan.
"Let's talk about it......" Xiao Kaiyan glanced at the folder lightly, raised her hand and took it.
"Jiang Xuan, female, the specific time of arrival in country M is unknown, four years ago she studied under a local niche clothing brand designer, and her style is mainly elegant and simple." The assistant looked at Xiao Kaiyan with low eyes and summarized the contents of the document.
"Four years ago, her designs appeared in a local exhibition that was not very noticeable, and her profile showed that she had no experience in the competition."
Xiao Kaiyan's eyes swept over the document, and finally stopped at the clothing photo designed by Jiang Juan four years ago, the model in the photo was wearing a money coffee-colored windbreaker, and the overall cut was not amazing, but wearing it on this model, she inexplicably felt the same aura.
"Two years ago, Jiang Juan was invited to join a well-known local design brand company in country M, and the owner of the company was James, a brand designer who was once a smash hit."
The assistant relied on his own memory to retell all the information Jiang Wan had only.
"Okay, you get out." Xiao Kaiyan closed the document and threw it aside, she lifted her chin lightly and motioned for the assistant to go out.
Sure enough, she is still worried, it seems that Jiang Juan is just a small role in terms of design, and it is not worth her to use it as an opponent.
In the huge design room, Xiao Kaiyan's gaze moved to her latest design finished clothing, and the corners of her mouth raised a shallow arc.
In the Xiao family's villa, when Xiao Kaiyan stepped on seven-centimeter heels and came home, she happened to see Xiao Yi sitting on the sofa waiting for her to come back.
The corners of her mouth twitched, trying to pretend she hadn't seen and sneak upstairs.
"Stop, I have something to tell you." Xiao Yi spoke slowly, and there seemed to be some anger in his words.
Xiao Kaiyan turned around in embarrassment and walked over with a smile on her face: "Brother? How can I come back and sit when I don't go home all year round?"
"You'd better not interfere in Jiang Juan's affairs." Xiao Yi looked at her expressionlessly, as if her expression could reveal some bad intentions.
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Xiao Kaiyan sat down, but there was a puzzled look on her face: "I don't have time to care about Jiang Juan's affairs, but you ......"
Xiao Kaiyan lowered her eyes and admired her newly made nails, her tone sounded slow and logical, and she vaguely remembered that Xiao Yi's name appeared on Jiang Xuan's information document.
"Don't tell Chu Wei about her return to China."
The woman's hand fiddling with her nails paused slightly, glanced sideways at Xiao Yi beside her, and after a while, she smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, your sister and I are busy, and I don't have time to care about trivial matters between you."
"I'll go up first." Xiao Kaiyan waved at him and stepped on high heels and went upstairs.
If it weren't for her dear brother's kind reminder, she would have almost forgotten that Jiang Juan still has some use value......
At nine o'clock in the morning on Sunday, the opening display of the design competition was held from the Lingtian Hotel, announcing that the clothing design competition that lasted for one month officially began.
The design teams of each company were not faced with the design of a single piece of clothing, but a series of clothing under the prescribed theme, and the competition organizers required the submission of the design draft to be five days later, and the workload of each design team increased a lot at this time.
In Chu's president's office, before Chu Wei entered the door after the meeting, there was a faint red figure in the half-hidden door.
Chu Wei saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, his face sank slightly, and he walked straight to the desk and sat down without speaking.
"I have something here that you may be interested in, I don't know if Mr. Chu has time to listen." Ignored by Chu Wei, Xiao Kaiyan's heart was also unbalanced, and her smiling expression froze.
Since Chu Wei dissolved the marriage contract at the wedding five years ago, the relationship between the two has fallen into an embarrassing situation, so Xiao Kaiyan has been holding a grudge against Jiang Juan for many years, and the dissolution of the marriage contract has become an indelible stain in her life.
"There's no time." Chu Wei's dark eyes looked at the computer in front of him, various colored lines danced on the screen, and he frowned and responded indifferently.
Xiao Kaiyan didn't expect Chu Wei to have this attitude, even if she was prepared, she was still a little stunned.
She got up from the sofa lightly and detoured to Chu Wei's side.
She ...... Aren't you interested either? The corners of Xiao Kaiyan's lips hooked up an incomprehensible smile, and pushed a photo in front of Chu Wei's eyes.
Chu Wei ignored her, just glanced down at her, but his heart chuckled at this moment.
In the photo, a woman in a long red dress purses her lips and sipps the red wine in a glass, and the burgundy light reflects the woman's face from the rim of the glass, reflecting her face in a pink color.
He could barely take his eyes off.
"Where was this filmed?"
Why does she have a photo of Jiang Juan, and the background in the photo looks extremely familiar.
"Mr. Chu is in a hurry, you have been to this place." Xiao Kaiyan walked around from Chu Wei's side to the table, the smile on her face did not decrease, but her heart was a little colder.
The flashing thing she saw in Chu Wei's eyes just now was clearly joy. And this joy is like a rope that tugs at her heart, and if the pace is too slow, it will hurt.
Chu Wei's eyes rubbed over the photo, half-squinting his eyes to think about the places he had been to in the past few days, and finally fixed the venue at the warm-up banquet of the design competition.
There weren't many people that day, and he and she appeared at the same time at that banquet, it turned out that he and her were so close, but he still couldn't find Jiang Xuan.
"Where is she now?"
Chu Wei picked up the photo on the table, looked at the person on the photo carefully, she hadn't seen her for five years, she seemed to have changed a lot, exquisite makeup with a perfect side face, people just glanced at it, it was difficult to give up.
Xiao Kaiyan looked at Chu Wei distracted, of course she knew what he was thinking in her heart, and felt a little depressed in her heart: "There is no free lunch in the world, Mr. Chu must understand this truth"
"Give me the design drawings of Chu's participation in this design competition, and I will tell you the specific location of Jiang Xuan now." Xiao Kaiyan's smile was a little evil, and when her eyes touched Chu Wei's gentle eyes, her heart trembled slightly.
His gentleness was never for her.
Chu Wei raised his eyes when he heard this, facing Xiao Kaiyan's request, he was inevitably a little shocked, is Xiao Kaiyan still a child who doesn't grow up? It's not logical or reasonable to make a request, is she so naïve and ridiculous and has lived so well until now?
"I'll think about it." Chu Wei pushed the photo back, not wanting to talk more with such an unintelligent person, so he simply issued an eviction order.
After Xiao Kaiyan left, Chen Nian was called in by Chu Wei.
"Six days ago, in the fashion design competition, I investigated all the participating companies and team leaders to see if there was no news about Jiang Juan." Chu Wei flipped through the information at hand, and sent this arduous task to Chen Nian in a soft tone.
Chen Nian stood in place and didn't move, for a long time, only to realize that he was uncomfortable for his miserable life, if it wasn't for the president today, the name Jiang Juan would be erased from his memory.
Hasn't she disappeared for five years?
Now, why did the president want him to go to some banquet to find news of her?
"Didn't understand?" Seeing that Chen Nian didn't move, Chu Wei was also a little impatient, he raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Nian, and a sentence frightened Chen Nian to come back to his senses.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Early in the morning, Jiang Juan woke up from the company's office and rubbed his sour eyes.
The drawings in front of her were changed by her over and over again, but they could not reach the level that satisfied her.
"What the hell is wrong with there?" Jiang Wan was a little sour in his grip on the pencil, and put down the pen to relax a little.
The assistant intimately brought a cup of coffee, the recent design draft is urgent, in order to hurry up to work, Jiang Juan is not the first time to stay up all night, she smiled and took the coffee from the assistant's hand, and quietly took a sip.
"With such a short period of time, and clothing design is about quality and accuracy, how can it be so easy to design?" Jiang Wan collapsed on the sofa, looking at the latest design skills documents with his eyes as if he was nothing, and complained softly.
"Color, accessories, collar type...... Each needs to be matched with the design, especially the accessories, and the design will make people feel refreshing. ”
Jiang Juan walked up to the humanoid model and looked at it with a somewhat empty look in his eyes.
"If you want to incorporate the elements of the present, but also draw on the good and popular styles of the past, and if you focus on simple and retro style, this accessory is a bit redundant." Jiang Wan's slender fingers caressed the clothes she had made with the preliminary draft, frowning and shaking her head.
I don't know if it's because of the all-night draft, but her head feels confused now.
I didn't even notice that the door behind me was opened.
The air pressure in the room seemed to be lower.
"I didn't expect that I used various methods to look for you all over the world for five years, but you came back by yourself."
