Yao Rong's afternoon tea went very smoothly.

She doesn't like to have this kind of party, but when she wants to do something well, she can do it without anyone making a mistake.

And all the clothes Yao Rong wore on this day were purchased by Yao Shiyun.

When the guests arrived at the villa, their eyes lingered on Yao Rong's clothes from time to time, and asked Yao Rong with a smile where the clothes were customized, and Yao Shiyun said the name of his offline store in a timely manner.

Knowing that Yao Shiyun's offline store accepts private customization, several invited guests looked at the design draft with great interest, and finally booked a set of clothes.

"No problem, someone will come to your door tomorrow to measure your body." Yao Shiyun smiled slightly.

As soon as the afternoon tea was over, Yao Shiyun told Cen Jinge and others the good news.

Cen Jinge and others were greatly excited.

They all know very well that as long as this matter is done well and a few ladies are allowed to be in the limelight at the cocktail party, the offline store will be able to stand on its feet.

Because they knew the importance of the matter, Yao Shiyun and Cen Jinge devoted themselves to this matter.

Ling Bai and Xiao Bei would also join their discussions in their free time, trying to collide with them to come up with new ideas and perfect the details.

Bo Shan and Zhou Miaomiao couldn't help in this matter, so they worked hard to take care of other chores and not let the chores divide Yao Shiyun's heart.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, several sets of dresses were all designed within the specified time.

The dresses of several ladies have their own characteristics and styles, and many people in the same circle have inquired about which clothing brand their clothes are custom-made.

Several ladies are Yao Rong's friends, and Yao Shiyun has to shout "aunt" obediently when she sees them, so several people are also happy to help Yao Shiyun publicize.

Soon, the name of the brand "Kapok" spread like the wind to the top circle of City A.

Yao Shiyun took advantage of this east wind to open directly.

It only took more than a month for the income and expenditure of the Kapok offline store to be balanced.

Yao Shiyun was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and her tense spirit also relaxed.

Counting up, nine months have passed since graduating from college, and in these nine months, she has completely devoted herself to her career, and she has not been idle even during the Chinese New Year, it's time to give herself a vacation.

Yao Shiyun posted a circle of friends, saying that he, the boss, wants to use power for personal gain and give himself a few days off.

The comments at the bottom gradually became lively, Yao Shiyun smiled, and just wanted to reply to them, Tao Zijin's private chat came over: [There is a concert tonight, I have two tickets in my hand, do you want to listen to it]

Yao Shiyun hugged the pillow: [Such a coincidence? 】

[Tao Zijin: When I saw the circle of friends you posted, I asked my colleague to get two tickets]

Yao Shiyun pursed her lips and smiled: [Then let's go]

Four hours later, the two walked out of the concert hall.

Yao Shiyun talked about the last performance with great interest, and Tao Zijin listened quietly, echoing from time to time.

The car was parked on the street outside, Tao Zijin opened the passenger door and put his hand on the roof of the car: "Are you hungry, let's go have supper." ”

Yao Shiyun sat on the co-pilot: "What to eat?" ”

Tao Zijin also got into the car and buckled his seat belt: "Is hot pot okay?" Some time ago, I ate a hot pot restaurant that tastes very good, and I've always wanted to take you to try it. ”

"Okay. I haven't eaten hot pot in a while. Yao Shiyun nodded.

After driving in silence for a while, Tao Zijin asked, "Where do you plan to go to play in the next few days off?" ”

"Just stay at home, spend more time with my mother, I don't want to run outside."

Tao Zijin tapped the steering wheel lightly with his fingertips: "You can come and see my grandfather when you have time, he misses you very much." ”

Yao Shiyun couldn't hold back her laughter: "Then I'll go to your house tomorrow to visit Grandpa Tao." ”

She dragged out the last few words for a long time.

Tao Zijin smiled helplessly and moved his palm, which was already sweating nervously.

Some relationships are like this, and in the years of getting along, there has long been an incomparable tacit understanding. But because of this tacit understanding, when other feelings breed in friendship, we must be more cautious.

Because when you don't think it through, you can easily cross that line, and you may actually destroy the tacit understanding between them.

He had repeatedly confirmed his intentions.

He can be sure that before Xiaoyun's sophomore year, he always treated her as a sister.

Everything seemed to start that day, when he saw her squatting helplessly in the inpatient department crying.

He thought she was as cowardly as ever, and she spoke amazingly in the ward, and she scolded Yun Letao's mother; When he thought she was still ignorant about relationships, he found that she had been able to deal with her relationship with her ex-boyfriend rationally; He thought she wasn't mature enough, but when she talked about the cause she loved, her eyes were full of enthusiasm......

Only then did he realize that she was no longer a little girl.

"Xiaoyun." When the hot pot restaurant arrived, Tao Zijin stopped Yao Shiyun, who had just unbuckled his seat belt, "I want to tell you something." ”

Yao Shiyun raised her eyes and looked into his eyes.

"I just said something wrong, and now I want to correct it with you."

Tao Zijin's expression was serious, revealing a stubborn firmness.

"It's not just my grandfather who misses you, I miss you too."

"Some time ago, you have been busy with your career, so I didn't bother you, but now, your career is on the right track, are you willing to think about your relationship and think about me?"

Yao Shiyun didn't expect Tao Zijin to confess suddenly, and for a moment, she only felt that she was so nervous that she was at a loss.

After experiencing Lu Xinghua's affairs, Yao Shiyun once became afraid of love and marriage.

Later, with her mother's explanation, although this fear dissipated, she never thought about her relationship problems again.

But there is such a person, who is always there when she needs it, who understands, respects her, and appreciates her......

She no longer believes in love at first sight, only in love over time.

Tao Zijin is her long-term love.

The little boy who always held her back, took her to play and took her home when she was a child is now reaching out to her.

"Brother Zijin, can I ask, why do you like me?"

"If someone has witnessed a flower bloom with their own eyes, how can they not be tempted by this flower."

Tao Zijin bent the corners of his lips, but touched Yao Shiyun's head and comforted her: "Xiaoyun, you don't need to have any burden. My liking shouldn't be a burden to you. If you don't think it's time yet, I can wait for you. ”

Yao Shiyun shook his head with a smile and held his hand firmly: "I think this should be the most appropriate time." ”

After eating the hot pot, Tao Zijin sent Yao Shiyun home.

The light was still on in the study on the second floor, Yao Shiyun walked to the door of the study and gently pushed the door open: "Mom, haven't you slept yet?" ”

Yao Rong rubbed his eyebrows sleepily: "The company is about to launch a new car again, and I just finished a meeting with the overseas branch." ”

Yao Shiyun nodded, indicating that she knew: "Mom, I'll tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Yao Rong propped up his chin, "Could it be that you are with Zijin?" ”

Yao Shiyun was slightly surprised: "Brother Zijin told you?" ”

Yao Rong smiled, isn't this matter obvious: "Zijin is very good." ”

Yao Shiyun pursed her lips and smiled, pointing to the door: "Then I'll go back to sleep?" ”

"Don't worry." Yao Rong got up, "I'll go warm up some milk, drink the milk and then go to sleep." ”

After another half a year, the rumor that Yao's Group was going to launch a new car came out again.

It is said that the performance of this car is much superior to that of the wind gallop.

Hearing these rumors, Yao's Group's competitors suddenly couldn't sit still.

In the past two years, Yao's Group has relied on the wind to gnaw a lot of meat in the already saturated automobile market, making a lot of money, and then letting Yao's Group sit big, it will damage the interests of their competitors.

Negative news about Yao's Group began to appear frequently on Weibo hot searches.

And eight out of ten of these hot searches are related to the Yun family.

Some say that Yao Rong ruthlessly forced her ex-husband to death, and some say that Yao Rong killed the Yun family.

"Dong Yao, the public relations department is already dealing with this matter." When the secretary came to report the news to Yao Rong, he said respectfully.

Yao Rong didn't speak, just quietly looked at these hot searches.

Yun Jun's business failed to hide the news at all, Yun Da's wife and Yun Er's wife learned that Yun Jun had lost all the money from the sale of their house, and they directly started with Yun Jun.

Yun Letao originally pretended to be in front of Yun Jun, but seeing that Yun Jun had become a poor bastard, she immediately tore her face with Yun Jun, and blurted out all kinds of resentful words.

Between the pushes, Grandma Yun fainted in anger on the spot.

The last bit of the Yun family's savings were used to treat Grandma Yun's illness.

Yun Da's wife and Yun Er's wife are also ruthless enough, they just ignore Grandma Yun and leave the mess of Grandma Yun to Yun Jun.

The family that originally "loved each other" has been unrecognizable because of resentment.

……

Yao Rong closed the phone.

After learning of the Yun family's final fate, her last trace of concern for the Yun family also dissipated.

"I just look at the results, and don't let these negative news affect the holding of the product launch meeting."

The public relations department of Yao's Group solved this matter by thunderous means, and these so-called negative news did not affect the pace of Yao's Group at all.

On June 15, Yao's Group launched a new car series, Leichi, in response to the provocation of all competitors with a soaring stock price.

When Yao's Group is making great progress all the way, Yao Shiyun's side is also full of good news.

After five years of accumulation, the scale of the Kapok studio has expanded a lot, the number of employees has expanded from a few to several hundred, the office location has also moved from the original A large classroom to a special industrial park, and there is a production line of its own, which no longer needs to be rented.

After several years of accumulation, the number of fans of the online store has now exceeded 3 million, and the customer flow of the offline store has also stabilized, and it has its own fixed customer group.

And Kapok, a clothing brand, has also successfully appeared on the first and second tier fashion weeklies in China, and even appeared on the cover of first-tier fashion weeklies.

"I plan to participate in Huaguo International Fashion Week in March next year." At the meeting, Yao Shiyun announced her next step to everyone.

Huaguo International Fashion Week is also a grand event hosted by the Fashion Design Association.

However, unlike the National Fashion Design Competition, Huaguo International Fashion Week is larger in scale and covers a wider range, not only inviting designers to participate, but also inviting domestic and foreign clothing brands to hold press conferences.

This is a very good opportunity for Yao Shiyun himself and for the brand of Kapok.

Yao Shiyun said: "I will participate in the competition as an individual and compete with other designers for awards. The rest of you will be in charge of the brand launch. ”

"No problem." Xiao Bei and Cen Jinge both applauded one after another, expressing their blessings and support.

In the past few years, all of them have been making progress with the brand of kapok.

But there is no doubt that the person who has improved the most is Yao Shiyun.

Now she is fully qualified to stand on a higher stage and compete with those designers who have already become famous in the industry.

"Xiaoyun, I'm waiting for you to bring the Golden Clothes Award back!" Zhou Miaomiao even set a goal for Yao Shiyun.

The Golden Coat Award is the highest honor for Chinese designers.

To say that there is no ambition at all about this, of course it is impossible, but Yao Shiyun did not say anything, only smiled and said: "I will do my best." ”

The competition process of the Golden Clothes Award is actually similar to the competition that Yao Shiyun participated in before.

Yao Shiyun easily passed the preliminary round and got the ticket to the semifinals.

After the semi-final title was announced, she began to design custom dresses as required.

On March 25, Yao Shiyun was going to the capital.

Early in the morning, she opened the curtains and saw that the kapok tree in the garden had bloomed.

In the past few years, the kapok tree has grown very fast, deeply rooted in the garden, and now it is six or seven meters tall, and Yao Shiyun, who lives on the second floor, must raise his head to see the flowers on the branches.

"That's a good sign." Yao Shiyun smiled and said to Kapok, "I'll win the competition, right." ”

At noon, Yao Shiyun, Yao Rong and several people from the studio arrived in the capital and checked into a hotel near the Bird's Nest.

Yao Shiyun sighed that time had flown by: "The last time I came to the capital was four years ago. ”

Yao Rong couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Only six years have passed, and Yao Shiyun has already come to this point.

Six years ago, she competed with Chinese designers under the age of 30. And now, she has to face countless seniors in the industry.

All she needed to do was overcome them.

As she has done for many years, defeat her opponents and overcome fate.

The next day, the members of the Kapok Studio began to be busy with the brand launch conference, and Yao Shiyun also entered the competition area and began to make clothes.

Yao Rong is still sitting in the audience as he did six years ago, accompanying Yao Shiyun in the competition.

In this tense and exciting atmosphere, time flies, and two days have passed.

It's the third day.

One contestant after another took the stage, and one dress after another amazed the audience, triggering continuous applause and cheers.

These contestants, who represent the highest aesthetics of Chinese clothing, contributed a visual feast to the audience.

Just as the game was coming to an end, Yao Shiyun finally appeared.

Her semi-final work still uses "kapok" as a design element.

It's just that her work is more mature than it was six years ago.

A light long skirt is so beautiful that it seems to burn the scorching vitality of the kapok itself into the skirt, so the audience's vision is also ignited.

The only light source on the catwalk hit Yao Shiyun, her long hair was pulled up, and she was wearing a light green skirt, which made her fall and generous.

"Six years ago, I designed a suit called Kapok, but the full name of that suit was Kapok Tree. It was my gift to my mother. ”

"But now, this skirt called kapok, its full name is kapok. It's a gift I give myself. ”

"I've studied fashion design for 10 years, and I've never designed a single piece of clothing for myself in 10 years. It wasn't until I came to this tournament that I felt the time had come. ”

"This skirt is every step I have taken in the past ten years."

……

And every step of the way and every effort made will not be disappointed.

"First place, No. 26, Yao Shiyun, work, kapok. Kapok of kapok. ”

He used to be the vice president, and now he is the president of the Fashion Design Association. She looked at the hand card, smiled and said words that were almost the same as six years ago, and handed the trophy of the Golden Coat Award to Yao Shiyun.

Yao Shiyun held this trophy with tears in her eyes.

Tonight, she won the highest honor for the Chinese designer.

In the future, her stage will not only be domestic.

After the game, Yao Shiyun walked off the stage.

handsome

Yung and her companions stood under the stage waiting for her.

"I've booked a Western restaurant, let's go there for a celebration banquet." Yao Rong proposed.

Everyone took a taxi directly to the shopping mall where the western restaurant was located and took the elevator to the top floor.

In the western restaurant, the piano echoes melodiously, and kapok is spread all around.

But the strange thing is that there are no guests inside.

Yao Shiyun vaguely guessed something, and turned her head to look at Yao Rong.

Yao Rong nudged her encouragingly: "Let's go in and have a look." ”

Yao Shiyun held the trophy and walked into the restaurant step by step, and saw Tao Zijin sitting in front of the piano stand at first sight.

At the end of the song, Tao Zijin got up and came to Yao Shiyun: "Congratulations." ”

Yao Shiyun: "What else?" ”

Tao Zijin knelt down on one knee and took out the diamond ring that had been prepared a long time ago: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, so Xiaoyun, are you willing to consider marrying me now?" ”

"I do." Yao Shiyun stretched out his right hand, "How could I be unwilling." ”
