Chapter 27 The invitation of the president of Shengshi Group
"Master, you're almost late." Garvey said suddenly.
In his sight, I went out the door, hopped into a taxi, and headed straight for the Lean Building.
At 2 o'clock in five minutes, I arrived at the agreed place.
I don't know if the sky is coming?
The Encounter Café is located in the lobby of the Lean Building, and is one of director Xiao Wu's "mobile offices", where he often asks me to talk.
It has the style of a small European town, because the price is on the high side, and it is not on the street, so there are not many people who patronize it.
As I walked through the door, I heard a "jingle" bell to signal that the waiter had a customer entering.
"Hello, what do you want to drink today?" The waiter greeted me warmly.
"A glass of white water." I'm a little embarrassed, whitewater is free.
At a glance, I saw another guest in the café sitting with his back to me in the distance.
I walked over and asked, "Is it Mr. Man?" ”
The man turned around, and it was actually Assistant Liu.
"Mr. Man will be here soon, please Miss Xia wait." Assistant Liu politely invited me to sit down across from him, and walked out of the café by himself.
At two o'clock, the bell at the door rang again.
Man Tianhao walked in.
My heartbeat was beating faster again, useless.
"Hello, what do you want to drink today?" The waiter asked.
"A pot of Blue Mountain coffee." Man Tianhao looked around, waved at me, and motioned for the waiter to bring the coffee.
He walked over, dressed in a white casual suit, and wore white men's clothes with such a masculine and casual feeling, maybe it was only full of sky.
"Good afternoon." I stood up to greet him.
"Miss Xia has been waiting for a long time, sit."
A moment of silence ensued.
I felt him looking at me, but I didn't dare to look at him, so I had to bow my head and drink water, I was useless.
The waiter brought the coffee, poured out two cups of coffee, and brought one to me and one to him.
The aroma of coffee spreads through.
Man Tianhao took a sip of coffee in an elegant manner and asked, "Miss Xia, how many years have you been a designer?" ”
"It's been a year since I graduated, but I haven't had a job." I'll be honest.
"Oh? Why not find a clothing company to do the design like everyone else? "Man Tianhao asked me like a candidate.
"There is no right opportunity."
"And what do you live on?"
"Just find some work to do." I was nervous, and I had completely lost my aura.
"Thank you for sending me clothes, but why doesn't Miss Xia take the money?" Man Tianhao asked again.
How I wanted to tell him that although it was given by Garveen, in fact, when I was five years old, I wanted to make clothes for you, and I had the opportunity to give you two clothes, and it was only according to my childhood wish.
But I don't have the courage to say it to someone who has forgotten all about me, and it will be even more boring if it becomes a joke.
"Because of those two clothes, I didn't think about selling them, they were meant to be given to friends." I've only scratched the surface of the story.
"Oh? Is it appropriate to give a friend's clothes to me now? Man Tianhao asked.
"Friends don't care." My voice was getting quieter, and I hated being interrogated, so I decided to ask questions.
"Mr. Man, just two pieces of clothes, don't care. Is there anything to find me today? I asked.
"It's nothing, I appreciate the design idea of the Spider-Man costume, and I'm surprised that a young designer can perform like this, so I want to talk to you casually." Man Tian Hao talked casually and drank coffee.
"Thank you for your recognition." I say.
"But do you know what other designers think of it?" Man Tianhao asked with interest.
"Someone else? How so? ”
"Childish, pompous, at first glance it is designed by a woman." He was so surprised that he suddenly uttered such sharp criticism.
"Oh? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. "I, who have always been slapped in the face by Gawe, have not been stimulated by criticism at all.
"Aren't you angry?" He asked.
"Why be angry? I do be a little naïve, especially the design of this outfit, which needs a little childlike fun, because it makes a lot of use of fantasy and exaggeration, and the naivety and exaggeration that this designer said are just an interpretation of this expression. It's just that designers who interpret it in this way may be difficult to design this kind of men's wear, and it is more suitable to design decent clothes, just like your company's new series of men's wear. As a female designer, I interpret the men's wear of the prosperous era in this way, and I won't be angry, right? "My aura is picking up.
Man Tianhao actually smiled, and the smile was particularly beautiful...... Uh, forgive me for being poor on words, but this man really belongs to the "glamorous type".
"Decent! Miss Xia's evaluation is quite polite, not saying that it is cliché, it is already very face-saving. Man Tianhao said with a look of no concern at all.
"Oh? Mr. Man sees his company's products like this? "I was a little surprised.
"Well, menswear is just getting started, and it's inevitable that it's a little mediocre. Miss Xia is very brave, and she is indeed not an ordinary designer. Man Tianhao looked at me with a little approval and continued to ask, "Tell me why you used Batman as the main element to design this men's outfit!" ”
"Because men have a big hero complex! Why did the Batman movie become a classic and circulate? Because he meets most people's expectations of themselves, people will use Batman costumes to achieve their self-image. Not only adult men, but even children like Batman costumes, but adult clothes can't be too straightforward, they should be subtle and diverse. "When I think about design, my confidence starts to rise.
Man Tianhao was silent, listening quietly.
"Mr. Man, were you also attracted to my Batman costume at a glance?" I asked.
"Yes." He replied briefly.
"Do you know why?" I asked him again.
"Because of the preconceived ideas, the Batman complex is the first, you are taking advantage of the momentum, with the help of people's existing ideas, this idea is very good, smart!" Man Tianhao nodded in praise.
"Thank you, Mr. Man, for your understanding." It's so refreshing to talk about design with someone who understands design.
"How about coming to my company?" Man Tianhao suddenly asked such a sentence.
"Huh? I? I'm poor and need money......" I said honestly.
"Well, I can see, how much salary do you want?"
"At least a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan can be considered." As for the money, I had to give it away, so I just opened my mouth.
"Is Miss Xia so short of money? There are not many men's wear designers with a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan in China. Man Tianhao whispered.
"If Mr. Man thinks it's not suitable, forget it, if I work full-time, I have to consider at least this price, otherwise I will continue to find some random work." I gritted my back molars and pretended to be calm.
Man Tianhao did not speak again, but raised his hand and called the waiter to settle the bill.
Did he think that my offer was too outrageous to talk to any more?
"Miss Xia, my time is up, we will talk about it here today, and when I come back from France, I will make another appointment with you." Man Tianhao got up and said goodbye expressionlessly.
Assistant Liu had already come in to check out at the bar, and said to Man Tianhao respectfully: "Mr. Man, the car is already waiting outside." ”
He asked me diligently: "Where is Miss Xia going, do I need to give you a ride?" ”
I shook my head in thanks.
Looking at the back of the meteors striding away, I was in a trance: he just left?
Well, I still don't know about him. He still speaks very well, but even if his tone is easy-going, there is a kind of coldness that is thousands of miles away.
It was different from him when he was a child, when he was sunny and brightened up my obscure childhood.
Take a sip of coffee, smooth and bitter, just like the mood at the moment.
A beautiful handbag suddenly smashed on the table, shaking the cups and plates.
"Xia Xue, you actually carried me behind my back to make an appointment? What do you mean? Yang Yali didn't know when he came, and he was staring at me coldly.
"Huh? Masters? Why are you here? I looked up at her in amazement.
"Surprised, isn't it? Passing by, I saw Mr. Man's car at the door, Assistant Liu said that he was talking to you, what are you talking about? When did you meet? Yang Yali looked at me nervously and asked.
"Don't worry, I didn't talk about my relationship with you, nor did I talk about the heart of a girl, I won't say a word about the past." I said truthfully: "I only talked about the design of the Batman costume." ”
Yang Yali asked suspiciously: "I've heard about this, at the exhibition, you sent two clothes to Mr. Man, but why did you make an appointment after that?" ”
"Senior sister, why didn't you just ask Mr. Man?" I asked.
Yang Yali seemed to have been stabbed, and said a little irritably: "He? You're angry with me, and won't tell me anything, and won't see me. ”
"Huh?" This answer surprised me, and the tone was not at all like a normal boss-employee relationship.
"Tianhao and I are actually in love." Yang Yali said mysteriously.
"What?!" Man Tianhao and his senior sister are in love! Oh my God!
"Because of his identity, it can only be kept secret, and no one in the whole company knows."
Or an underground romance!
"And how long have you been dating?" I asked.
"It's been three months. I really fell in love with him this time, I can wronged myself for him and keep it secret for him......" As he spoke, Yang Yali was actually in tears.
"Senior sister, why are you crying?" I handed her a tissue.
Yang Yali has been in love countless times, and we all know for so many years that there has never been a shortage of "boyfriends" around her. But today's situation is completely different, this is the first time I have seen her become so nervous and fragile in a relationship, can love really make people water?
"It's nothing, I just think Tianhao shouldn't be so angry, shouldn't be like this to me." Yang Yali took the tissue, but cried even more fiercely.
I was a little overwhelmed and said, "Is there a misunderstanding?" Isn't it normal for lovers to be noisy and quarrelsome? ”
My mind is messed up, I don't know what I'm talking about, Yang Yali likes Mantianhao, it's normal, he looks like that, no woman will not like it.
But will Man Tianhao like Yang Yali?
