Four years later.

The night sky outside the cabin was dark. The long flight signals fatigue, but the thought of landing in the hometown where they have not returned for four years makes the heartstrings tense and the physical exhaustion is really nothing.

Mingsheng was half-asleep and half-awake, and in his dream he went back to four years ago.

On a hot summer night that had already begun that year, she traveled for 20 hours and finally arrived in the artsy Paris.

When I woke up in a foreign land, I walked alone along the Champs-Élysées and smelled the unfamiliar smell of perfume in the air, a fragrance that belongs exclusively to Paris, dreamy and unreal.

Fortunately, she didn't dream for long, and reality pulled her back from her dreams.

After a thunderstorm, Paris is filled with the scent of grass.

Mingsheng was also recommended by Rashida to successfully enter a luxury brand company and become a grassroots show assistant.

The work of a show assistant is a hexagonal screw, which can be used wherever it is needed.

Show layout, model interviews, fitting plans, media operations, public relations and publicity, she has done all the chores, and the white eyes she suffered are not only from her boss.

Western society will not give a new person a period of respite, but will only show her the cruelst side with a bang.

Desperately squeezing her energy and time, let her grow as fast as possible, and become a small screw in the running machine of this huge industry.

Mingsheng didn't know how many all-nighters he had survived to write a plan.

But hard work often does not earn respect, and discrimination often occurs.

The female boss from the UK was mean and cold, often calling her "that Asian girl" in private.

One day, Mingsheng decided not to be silent anymore.

"Sorry, Ms. Carol, my name is not Asian Girl, in fact, every Asian girl has a unique beauty, and we should not be defined by that title."

In front of everyone, she shrugged her shoulders confidently and calmly, ignoring her boss's increasingly ugly look, "It's like you're not going to be satisfied with just being an English woman, are you?" ”

It's just that such happy moments are still a minority.

Most of the time, the high load of work oppressed her physical strength and tormented her spirit day after day.

At the time of Deadline, I had just finished a high-intensity show work during the day, and when I returned to the cramped apartment, I was too tired to hold my eyelids, but the day's work was far from over.

I can only brew a pot of black coffee with a strong spirit, and rely on cup after cup of strong coffee to clear my mind.

Finally, just before the dawn came, I sent an email and went back to bed and slept for a pitiful three or four hours.

This intensity of inhuman life has lasted for half a year.

Until one day, Mingsheng fainted in the apartment.

Somehow she fell unconscious, and when she woke up, she found that her forehead had been broken, and she had been lying on the floor unconscious for an hour, and when she woke up, the bleeding had stopped.

The pale and injured self in the mirror is really terrifying.

In just half a year, she was tortured beyond recognition by work.

Mingsheng spent half the night thinking about the future.

There is no qualification comparable to that of peers, and the degree of Chinese Department of Qingcheng University is almost in the European fashion industry that advocates creativity

A piece of waste paper.

Without a beautiful resume and a strong background, she will always be at the bottom of the fashion industry, and can be blamed and criticized by anyone, even if the idea of the plan is not inferior to that of any white colleague, and the boss will always adopt and praise someone else.

She lay on the cramped bed in the small apartment, secretly determined.

——Since you are not willing to be a little transparent, then go back to school for further study.

Later, she squeezed time to study while working, and was successfully admitted to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium, majoring in fashion design, and spent two years in the dark.

To open your eyes every day is to learn.

Gritting his teeth, there is no entertainment, no life, and it takes perseverance several times better than others to catch up with those outstanding classmates.

After graduating, he returned to the Parisian fashion industry, and Mingsheng tasted like a fish in water.

She is grateful that she made a hard but right choice.

; When I opened my eyes, those beautiful eyes were as clear as they were four years ago, but compared to that time, there was more of a calm and condensation created by time.

The gentle and professional female voice of the flight attendant came from the cabin: "The plane is about to land, please ...... passengers"

Mingsheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest.

- She's back.

Qiao Yu drove to the airport late at night to pick her up, and the old classmates hugged each other excitedly and observed each other's changes.

"My mother, how can your face go back more and more, Ming Sixteen, you, who believes you are twenty-six."

"Don't exaggerate your mouth."

Mingsheng sat in Qiao Yu's Audi and smiled comfortably, the slightly cool weather in early autumn is very suitable for driving, "I have slept less in the past few years, and this face has long been vicissitudes, so I cut my hair short and look younger." ”

Now she has long since cut off a youthful black wavy curl, and has kept shoulder-length short hair like this for several years, and she thinks that washing her hair □□ time-consuming when she goes to school, so she cuts off her long hair with a click.

I have time this year, I live in a much more spacious apartment, and I will have time to take care of my skin every day, but I don't want to grow my hair longer.

Maybe life is broad enough that you no longer care about other people's eyes.

Your own comfort is the most important thing.

"Do you have my vicissitudes?"

Qiao Yu expressed his dissatisfaction as a social animal of Dachang, "I am more fertile than four years ago, my colleague said, this is a sign that people are middle-aged, and I want to start soaking wolfberry in water." ”

Hee-hee-ha, return to Qiao Yu's ninety-odd cozy nest.

I bought it last year, and with the down payment given by the family, Qiao Yu's own work treatment is good, and the monthly mortgage is quite easy.

It was already twelve o'clock in the evening, but the two of them did not feel sleepy, took a shower, and pinched a can of beer and drank on the balcony.

Mingsheng asked Qiao Yu how his relationship with Liao Qing was now.

Qiao Yu's expression was faint and said that there was no contact.

"He never forgot the psychiatrist, and finally survived until someone divorced, and was willing to take over as the stepfather of someone else's daughter, I ridiculed me twice and went crazy, this friend doesn't do it."

Just a month before Mingsheng returned to China, Qiao Yu also broke off his friendship with Liao Qing, and the two had been hardcore girlfriends for many years, but in the end, they couldn't do it and blacklisted each other.

"People are now young billionaires worth billions, and their social circles are different, where can they look down on us like us

It's an ordinary old social animal classmate. ”

Qiao Yu saw it very lightly, and the dim light in the middle of the night cast on her fading baby fat face, and there was some sadness that Mingsheng was unfamiliar with.

It reminded her that time had indeed shaped them into different people.

Some people are ordinary and stable, some people sit in the wind and soar into the sky, and some people sink quickly.

The four girls in their dormitory at the time had different experiences after graduation.

Mingsheng went abroad, worked first and then studied, and is now the assistant creative director of a world luxury brand women's clothing, and is currently given an important task by the company, sent back to China to organize and plan the annual domestic show.

Qiao Yu has been moving bricks in a large Internet factory for four years, a typical social animal, he wanted to change jobs to see the world every day before he bought a house, and after buying a house, he died of the heart of job-hopping, and now his biggest dream is to raise a cat.

Schumanman, who loves gossip the most, went to England to study, talked about an English boyfriend, stayed in a small town with a population of only a few thousand, and scolded the hellish place in England every day for not giving her good food and drink, but there was still no sign of returning home.

The most surprising thing is Wang Xiaoqiao, who sent her mother and grandmother away in a row in the year of graduation, she seemed to suddenly see through life and death, and went to a very poor and remote mountainous area to be a volunteer teacher, and stayed for three years.

Qiao Yu was in a daze with half a bottle of beer, and asked her, "Are you really back for the show?" ”

Mingsheng, who was sitting on the side, took a sip of beer and lazily said "um".

"It's kind of amazing." Qiao Yu muttered, thought about it and asked, "Do you deal with a lot of supermodels?" ”

Mingsheng did not hesitate, "Yes".

In fact, she already has a list of supermodels on her hands, and the stars are indeed very shining.

Presumably, on the day of the big show, it will definitely be a hot search.

"Really?" Qiao Yu whispered into the night: "It seems that Fu Xizhou's girlfriend is a supermodel." ”！
