Chapter 60 The third character card, Louis Bernard.
【Character Card
Name: Louis Bernard
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Background: The founder of the rising star designer brand Elysium, an art student who did not fail the entrance exam but dropped out of school... and is suspected to be a giant golden retriever. 】
[I have always been curious about how this character card background profile was generated.] Jiang Huai was confused, [Chu Yuanqing was cheering for the cows and horses, Yu Lan was kissed by all the maids, why is there an official animal statue here?]
The system whistled: [I don’t know either.]
[Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?] Jiang Huai was speechless.
After a brief exchange with 819, Jiang Huai logged into his character card, and his first reaction was that it was indeed huge.
He suddenly grew seven or eight centimeters taller, like he was wearing a pair of height-increasing shoes, and even walking was a little unsteady. He swayed a few times before getting used to the somewhat high field of view.
When setting up the character card just now, he and the system argued for half an hour about the height of the new vest.
Jiang Huai felt that height was just about right. Out of an inexplicable desire to compare, he even hoped that Bernard could be shorter than him.
819 argued that the new vest was of Chinese-French descent, and had racial advantages, so how could he be shorter than you, who didn’t have enough food during his growing period?
Then it went on to talk about the average height of French people, tall people are more fashionable, and so on. Jiang Huai was led astray by it, and finally decided that Bernard's height was 192cm.
This time he fully learned from the previous lesson. As the saying goes, the bolder the person, the more productive the vests are.
Louis Bernard was only nineteen years old and lived alone in a Haussmann-style house with a garden terrace in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Standing on the terrace, he could see the Eiffel Tower not far away.
In addition to his personal brand Elysium, which has just emerged in the fashion industry and has been generating stable sales, Bernard also has a huge trust fund.
According to 819: [You don’t need to worry about where the money comes from, as long as you have enough. ]
... Suddenly I didn't want to work hard anymore. Jiang Huai asked knowingly: [Can't you just start swinging? ]
[Be careful or I'll electrocute you.] The system said sinisterly, [Hurry up, look in the mirror first and see the face I pinched.]
Jiang Huai walked around the house for a while before going into the bathroom and checking himself in the mirror.
A pair of green eyes are embedded in the deep eye sockets, and the golden hair hanging down to the chin dilutes the aggressiveness brought by the overly high nose bridge.
Her lips perfectly reflect the gentleness of her half-Oriental blood. Her appearance is somewhere between that of a teenager and a young adult. It seems that she still has several more years of blooming time left in her life, and she won't suddenly become old with a plummeting appearance.
He rubbed his hair twice, and the natural curls really made him look like a big golden retriever...
The premise is to ignore the dark circles under the eyes.
[It’s a complete epitome of stereotypes.] Jiang Huai complained, [Foreigners should have blonde hair and blue eyes, and designers should have dark circles under their eyes?]
[This looks more professional.] The system said, [Who would dare to hire a 19-year-old designer?]
The designs are good and it has won several awards, but it is a new brand after all and is not well-known in China. If she wants to go the acting route, it would be better for her to wait for a more stylish luxury brand.
Sang Hong looked at the email she had just received twice and rejected the email with some regret.
Caesar just announced its new ambassador yesterday, and today a new brand came knocking on the door.
From this perspective, Jiang Huai's career luck is pretty good, so there is no need to rush.
819 said angrily: [No? Why did you reject the invitation to cooperate? I specially copied such a good and advanced design from the neighboring interstellar world. Your company is too tasteless! ]
Based on his experience from several exchanges with Sang Hong, the other party has a standard businessman's mindset and usually will not refuse anything profitable.
Jiang Huai seemed to be thinking about something, and analyzed from Sang Hong's perspective: [Maybe he wants to wait for a more famous brand in the long run?]
In order to prevent him from directly creating a top-tier account and becoming popular by sucking blood all the way, the role-playing cheat code restricts him to only creating an account that is less popular than his own.
As a designer, this is reflected in Elysium's brand influence.
Even after the release of N1NE's official album, Jiang Huai's popularity has reached a new level. Now he can probably be ranked among the popular young actors, but he is still not as good as those seniors who have awards and well-known film and television works and are truly household names.
Under the strange rules of role-playing cheat codes, Elysium can only be set up as a rising star in the fashion industry with some fame.
JAC changed from Caesar to Elysium, and the brand was actually downgraded.
The advantage of Elysium is that all the fashion resources controlled by Louis Bernard can be tilted towards Jiang Huai alone, and there are also countless designs copied from 819... But how can he prove this to Sang Hong?
The essence of 1001 Jinjiang entertainment novels surged in his mind, and after a moment, Jiang Huai made up his mind.
[Are you sure...?] 819 asked tremblingly, [I'm afraid you'll act so badly that you want to die.]
[I am becoming more and more uncertain.] Jiang Huai said, [So I should cut the Gordian knot before I regret it.]
He closed his eyes, pressed the mouse with his right hand resolutely, and sent the second email to Jingming's cooperation email address.
[You will definitely regret this.] 819 said, [Huai, I really wish you good luck now.]
"...My Muse! The fire of my inspiration!" Sang Hong recited calmly.
Jiang Huai stood in front of her desk, feeling extremely embarrassed and ashamed. He deeply regretted the stupid decision he made three days ago.
819 laughed so wildly that Jiang Huai even felt that his whole brain was shaking in its laughter.
Sang Hong finally finished reading the entire content of the email, and Jiang Huai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Apart from the overly exaggerated language style..." Sang Hong spun her pen twice, "In short, it can be seen between the lines that the other party is very willing to cooperate, and the conditions offered are also very generous."
She turned the laptop around, pointed to a line of words, and motioned Jiang Huai to look.
Jiang Huai thought to himself, since you can move the computer, why did you read the email just now? Did you want to embarrass him on purpose? He honestly moved over and said, "You can terminate the cooperation with us at any time without paying any penalty..."
He had typed these words one by one three days ago, and now he pretended to be shocked.
Sang Hong nodded: "That is to say, if a better brand comes to us, we can just kick Elysium out. They will voluntarily be the backup."
The words may be a bit too rough, but Sang Hong's analogy is very vivid, and it is also the most important reason why Jiang Huai is sure that she will agree to cooperate this time. Those exaggerated praises are just to add chips.
"The brand said they are available anytime. As for you..." Sang Hong glanced at the schedule, "Meet my muse, my fire of inspiration, in three days?"
Please don't repeat this embarrassing and hopeless text again. Having achieved his goal, Jiang Huai nodded and said, "Okay."
After discussing work, Jiang Huai had nothing else to do, so he left the office, leaving Sang Hong alone to continue thinking about the email.
She tapped the keyboard lightly, searching for "Louis Bernard", and soon several photos of him popped up.
In the photo, the blonde, blue-eyed mixed-race designer is cutting fabric with a focused expression, and doesn't look like the kind of person who would write a love letter like "My muse! The fire of my inspiration!"
……wrong.
What confession letter?
In a flash, Sang Hong realized the problem.
She opened another webpage and just after she typed in Muse, the search engine automatically linked to the question "What is the relationship between Muse and designer?"
The first message that popped up made her eyes go dark: "There is no designer who doesn't love his or her muse."
Forget it, Jiang Huai knows his limits.
And he is a designer after all. I believe that this Louis Bernard cannot beat Jiang Huai... Sang Hong switched back to the previous encyclopedia interface.
Louis Bernard is 1.92 meters tall.
...JAC, please do your best.
Sunday, January 5, 2025.
The day before yesterday, 819, I helped control Bernard and flew to China. I slept for one night in a hotel near Jingming.
It's a pity that 819 can only do these unimportant tasks on his behalf and cannot play the role of Bernard and meet his original body. Jiang Huai sighed.
[Even if I could, I wouldn't.] 819 rejected it sternly, [This system is not the kind of person who shouts "my muse, my fire of inspiration", okay?]
[Don't say these ten words again.] Jiang Huai refuted it while packing up his things, [And I'm not going to play the role of a fanatical fan designer.]
[How do you want to act?] 819 asked curiously.
[You will know soon.] Jiang Huai finished packing and left for the company.
A black baseball cap was buckled on his head, and a long down jacket faithfully protected him from the cold winter wind. Jiang Huai also wore a mask, and only when he raised his head could you see his pair of clear eyes exposed.
On the other hand, Louis Bernard, who was very concerned about his image, only cared about his demeanor and didn't care about the temperature. He wore a brown tweed coat that 819 had carefully copied. It was obviously too thin in this sub-zero temperature.
Five minutes before the agreed time, Jiang Huai pushed open the door of the conference room at a leisurely pace.
Sang Hong, who volunteered to work overtime almost every weekend, had already sat in the main seat, and the chair to her right was already occupied.
Louis Bernard lowered his head and did not move when he heard him come in. Sang Hong raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly.
"Sorry, I'm late." Jingming has never been short of money, and the air conditioning is turned on very high. Jiang Huai pulled out the chair on the left, took off his coat and down jacket and hung them up, then took off his hat and mask, and then slowly sat down.
"Not late." Sang Hong, who has a good sense of time, checked her watch and introduced, "This is the founder and designer of Elysium, Louis Bernard."
