49 I want to see you
◎ Fighting to find her to cooperate◎
"Do you know a gay man named Gao Xunian?"
Gao Xunian? Hearing this name, Song Shixi immediately imagined a handsome and sunny face. But how did Zhang Sulan know Gao Xunian? If she hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten this person. After all, it had been over a month since they last met.
That day in the infirmary, Gao Xunian said he would come to see her after her injury healed, but he never came. She had planned to invite him and Qiuhong to dinner to express her gratitude, but he never showed up, and she was busy reviewing for the final exams, so the plan was left unresolved.
Thinking of this, Song Shixi nodded and replied, "Yes, you know him too?"
"Well, his brother is a friend of mine and Lao Huang's, and we're also partners. I thought he was a scammer, but I didn't expect you two actually knew each other."
There was obvious shock in Zhang Sulan's tone. No one knew what happened over there afterwards. Anyway, after a burst of noisy noise, a male voice that sounded somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar was heard.
"I've told her many times that we know each other, but Aunt Zhang just doesn't believe me. It makes me so angry."
"What Aunt Zhang? I told you to call me sister!"
There was another commotion. Finally, it was unclear whether Gao Xunian was subdued by Zhang Sulan, but it was Zhang Sulan who answered the phone again. She said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
Song Shixi heard that they should have a good relationship, and remembered that Gao Xunian seemed to have mentioned before that his brother also ran a garment factory. He understood, so he smiled and said it was okay.
Zhang Sulan scolded Gao Xunian a few more times before she told him the whole story.
"This guy rushed in with a newspaper a few days ago, demanding to see you by name, but he couldn't tell me anything other than your name and school. I thought he had evil intentions because you were pretty, so I didn't tell him your address."
"Who knew he would stay in our factory and not leave, saying he had to wait until you came to work. I'm almost annoyed to death."
Song Shixi was a little surprised, and his first reaction was: "Does he want to talk to me about something?"
This question stumped Zhang Sulan. "He didn't say what was going on, he just wanted to see you."
She was an experienced person, and Gao Xunian was a carefree person with his thoughts written all over his face. She could tell at a glance that he had a good impression of Song Shixi, but she was an outsider and it was not easy to break the window paper, so she simply gave the phone to Gao Xunian and let them talk on their own.
After Gao Xunian got the phone, he cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and then pretended to be calm and asked, "Comrade Song, how is your injury last time?"
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine now." Song Shixi replied politely.
"Originally, I was planning to visit you at your school in a few days, but our teacher suddenly said that there was a competition that required me to participate, so I went to the next province."
At this point, Gao Xunian gnashed his teeth and expressed regret. He paused for two seconds before continuing, "When I come back, your school will be on vacation, and I won't have your contact information..."
"I didn't mean to break the appointment. I've been wanting to say sorry to you. I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Song Shixi quickly said, "It's okay, you don't have to apologize to me."
She hadn't taken his words as a serious agreement, but she didn't expect him to take it so seriously. She felt awkward for a moment, so she said, "I haven't thanked you properly for what happened last time. How about I treat you to dinner after I finish filming in a couple of days?"
It just so happened that Qiuhong also got off work at that time, so it was perfect for the three of them to have a meal together.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here." Gao Xunian's eyes lit up and he agreed without hesitation.
The two chatted for a few minutes, agreed on a time, and ended the conversation.
After hanging up the phone, Song Shixi told Wu Qiuhong about this matter. She had no objection, so the dinner was settled.
On the day of going to the Red Sun Garment Factory, Song Shixi got up on time, took her cosmetics and bag and went out. The weather has been getting hotter recently, and she felt a gust of heat on her face as soon as she went out. She quickly opened the parasol and felt less uncomfortable.
She now had the money she had recovered last time, as well as the salary she had earned from modeling during this period. Her wallet was full, so she chose a taxi for travel. Although it was not equipped with air conditioning like in later generations, with the windows open and the breeze blowing gently, it was much more comfortable than taking a crowded bus.
Today is the last photo shoot of the summer vacation. She will have to wait until the new autumn and winter models come out before she can have any photo shoot assignments. This means that during this period, she doesn't have to worry about work and she has free time.
Thinking of this, Song Shixi thought to herself that after returning home after dinner, she would call Qin Yue and ask him to arrange for Secretary Xu to pick her up.
When Song Shixi thought about going to Shenzhen soon, an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his watery fox eyes.
When you go to Shenzhen, you can see...
"arrive."
The taxi driver's voice interrupted her thoughts. Song Shixi calmed down, patted her hot cheeks, paid the money, and got out of the car.
I just walked a few steps forward and found something wrong. There were now many people standing at the factory gate, which was deserted before. Even under the scorching sun, they were still enthusiastic, and most of them were young and beautiful girls.
Song Shixi was sharp-eyed and noticed that many of them were wearing the same dresses she had worn in previous photo shoots, and they also had similar hairstyles and shoes. At first glance, she could see many girls dressed exactly the same.
But even so, each has its own beauty, and she can hardly keep up.
Just as she was stunned, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed her arm. Song Shixi was so scared that her eyes widened and she almost screamed.
"It's me." Zhang Sulan ran out from somewhere, pulled her arm and walked in another direction.
"Manager Zhang?" Song Shixi followed Zhang Sulan and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
"I forgot to tell you the other day that these days the factory gate is full of people lining up to buy clothes, and some are running here wanting to cooperate with us, with you. In short, everything is a mess. I'm so busy that I can't even sleep well." Zhang Sulan sighed softly, but her face was full of smiles.
Every businessman wants to be as busy as possible, because being busy means making more money! If they are not busy anymore, they will cry.
"Looking for cooperation with me?"
Song Shixi's lips opened slightly. She knew that once a model became a hit, she would soon be targeted by other businesses, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Yeah, you don't know how famous you are in our circle now."
Zhang Sulan looked around and lowered her voice, "You haven't signed with a modeling agency, and you're new, so no one can contact you. Since those bosses couldn't find anyone, they had no choice but to shamelessly come to our factory to look for someone. I can barely count the number of people who've called me recently asking for your contact information. When are you free to meet them?"
Hearing this, Song Shixi looked at Zhang Sulan in surprise, and was a little surprised that she told her everything so honestly and clearly.
Zhang Sulan may have seen her confusion, so she smiled and said, "We've known each other for so long. I treat you as a friend. We're not the kind of black-hearted bosses who would stand in the way of someone's wealth."
The contract they signed was not a buyout contract, which means that as long as Song Shixi wants, she can cooperate with other clothing companies at any time.
Instead of making the relationship awkward, it is better to take the initiative to sell yourself well, which will also facilitate continued cooperation in the future.
Zhang Sulan had a premonition that the future path of this person would become wider and wider.
"Thank you, Sister Sulan." Song Shixi smiled slightly, her eyes were particularly bright because of the smile. She called out "Sister Sulan", which also showed her attitude.
Suddenly, the corners of Zhang Sulan's mouth almost stretched to the back of her ears.
Song Shixi paused for two seconds before continuing, "You guys gave me this opportunity in the first place, and I'm not someone who doesn't know how to repay a favor. As long as you don't mind, I'll always be a model for Red Sun."
Hearing this, Zhang Sulan stopped walking forward. As someone who had worked in a modeling company, she knew best how heavy this promise was. Gradually, she felt a warmth in her heart and could not help but lower her eyes and smile.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
"Companies these days are full of all kinds of idiots. You're new here, so you probably don't know much about this. If you get tricked into joining, you'll probably be completely wiped out. I've compiled a list for you to refer to when the time comes."
Song Shixi nodded, and then said: "Sister Sulan, please help me pick out all the clothing companies. I am not considering cooperating with other clothing companies in Beijing this year."
Zhang Sulan looked at Song Shixi in disbelief, her breathing stopped for a few seconds, and she opened her lips, but no sound came out.
According to the current trend and influence, half a year is enough for the Red Sun Garment Factory to gain a foothold in Beijing and even expand its scale by riding on this favorable wind. However, for Song Shixi, not accepting clothing cooperation will not only result in a huge loss of money, but also reduce its own commercial value.
Although there are all kinds of companies that come to Song Shixi for cooperation, most of them are clothing companies that have heard the news.
Just because a model's clothing shoot is a hit, it doesn't mean other models will be hits as well. There are too many uncertainties. Merchants are not fools. They are here to make money and don't want to gamble.
This is also one of the reasons why many models now follow a single route and do not develop in multiple directions.
And if her popularity fades next year, it will be difficult for her to get suitable cooperation.
Zhang Sulan frowned slightly. Song Shixi's decision was very beneficial to her and the Red Sun Garment Factory, but she couldn't make money by going against her conscience. So after only two seconds of hesitation, she reminded him, "Do you know this..."
"I know."
Song Shixi smiled slightly and interrupted Zhang Sulan. She was pretty, and her smile was like a blooming spring flower, so beautiful and charming.
"Thank you for your concern, Sister Sulan, but I have my own career plans."
She doesn't plan to be a fashion model forever. She will definitely move towards a more profitable direction in the future. As for the specific details, she hasn't thought about it yet. So she made this choice. On the one hand, it was because Zhang Sulan always considered her, and she put herself in her shoes, giving the Red Sun Garment Factory a reassurance was a reward. On the other hand, it was also to give herself time to think carefully and not limit herself to one category for the time being.
"Okay then." Zhang Sulan always knew that she was quite thoughtful and capable. Hearing her words, she knew that she had an idea in her mind, so she didn't say anything more.
The two continued walking forward and soon saw a side door. Zhang Sulan walked forward and knocked on it a few times in a regular pattern, and the door was opened from the inside.
"Manager Zhang." Standing inside were Zhang Sulan's assistant and two security guards.
Zhang Sulan pulled Song Shixi inside quickly and locked the door. The heavy stone hanging in her chest finally dropped. She couldn't help but mutter, "Going to work is like being a thief."
"If not, I probably wouldn't be able to get in." Song Shixi thought of the huge crowds of people just now, and he still felt a lingering fear.
"That's true." Zhang Sulan also smiled, and then everyone walked inside together.
When passing by the factory, Song Shixi heard some noisy noises inside. He remembered that Zhang Sulan had said on the phone a few days ago that the clothes were selling like hotcakes. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "How are the goods selling?"
"We have our own physical stores and sales channels. As of today, we have almost cleared out all the goods in the warehouse." Zhang Sulan couldn't help laughing when she mentioned this. "We have been working overtime recently to catch up on the goods."
After hearing this, although Song Shixi was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but be amazed. She remembered that she heard Chen Huili say that the garment factory had a lot of backlog of goods. She didn't expect that it had not been long before they were all sold out?
It seems that no matter what era, her ability to sell goods is among the best.
Thinking of this, Song Shixi's confidence grew sharply.
"Manager Zhang, Comrade Xiao Gao has been asking when Comrade Song will come over." The assistant whispered beside him.
As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Sulan couldn't help rolling her eyes, "He is very proactive, let him wait."
Seeing Song Shixi looking over curiously, Zhang Sulan said, "Gao Xunian came early in the morning and is waiting for you inside."
When mentioning him, Zhang Sulan subconsciously glanced at Song Shixi's face. Seeing that she didn't have any special reaction, she knew that Gao Xunian's plan was probably going to fail.
"Aren't we having dinner in the evening? Why is he coming so early?" Song Shixi frowned. If he came now, wouldn't he have to wait for several hours?
"Never mind him, let's go to the shooting room first."
Zhang Sulan waved her hand. In her heart, Song Shixi was like a fairy, beautiful and smart. A gay man like Gao Xunian, who hadn't even grown all his hair, was not worthy of her at all. Moreover, she could see that Song Shixi didn't have the same idea, so she didn't plan to waste time helping Gao Xunian.
"good."
Song Shixi nodded and followed Zhang Sulan to the shooting room.
As soon as the door opened, I saw a group of people coming out holding red banners and pennants, the first of whom was the boss Huang Haikuo.
Looking at the exaggerated words written in black on a red background, Song Shixi felt like her toes were about to dig a castle out of the floor. Fortunately, in addition to thanking her, there were also thanks to all the staff, otherwise she really wanted to find a crack to crawl into.
After everyone applauded and celebrated, Huang Haikuo distributed red envelopes one by one, and that was the end.
"You still have a red envelope. Come to my office to get it after this is over." Zhang Sulan leaned close to Song Shixi's ear and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Anything else?" Song Shixi weighed the heavy brick in his hand, his black eyes shining brightly.
"Hmm." Zhang Sulan winked and nodded.
Song Shixi was instantly amused. Just as she was about to say something, Zhang Sulan was called away by the photographer next to her. Before leaving, he told her to put on makeup first and start shooting later.
Seeing this, Song Shixi didn't take it to heart. She took her makeup bag and went to the dressing room first. She talked with the designer about the matching and after confirming the makeup look, she started to put on makeup.
At the same time, in the office across the wall, Zhang Sulan and Deng Boang stared at each other, "If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Deng Boang didn't hesitate. He smiled and said directly, "Comrade Zhang Sulan, you owe me a favor. Now it's time to repay it."
As soon as she heard him laugh, Zhang Sulan knew that something bad was going to happen, but this was something she couldn't escape. So she took a deep breath and said with a fearless attitude, "Tell me? What do you want me to do?"
"Help me convince Comrade Song and my wife to team up and go to Shenzhen to participate in the beauty competition." Perhaps feeling that his request was a bit unreasonable, he added, "I can offer this amount of compensation."
After he finished speaking, Deng Boang made a three-word gesture.
"Three hundred? Are you sending away a beggar?" Zhang Sulan widened her eyes and immediately waved her hand to push him away and walk out.
Deng Boang quickly stopped her and said, "I said three thousand!"
"The sun really rises from the west. How can a stingy person like you give away so much money?" Zhang Sulan stopped and teased with a ruthless frown.
Deng Boang blushed, coughed lightly and said, "Stop talking nonsense and just help me ask."
Although Zhang Sulan didn't know much about the beauty industry, she knew that Deng Bo'ang's lover was a well-known makeup artist in Shenzhen, and she was completely different from Li Fengxiang, whom they had invited before.
She is a recent graduate who has studied abroad and has also gone to Hong Kong for further training. The competition she is going to participate in must be a well-known competition in the industry. If Song Shixi can team up with her, it will be a great help in improving her fame and status.
But the problem is that, with the status of Deng Boang's lover, there would definitely be a lot of famous models in the industry who would be eager to work with her for free. Why would they spend a lot of money to choose a new model?
The two of them were old friends, so Zhang Sulan thought so and asked.
Deng Boang pointed at the tip of her nose and said, "I really can't hide anything from you."
At this point, Deng Boang pursed his lips and sighed slowly, "Some time ago, a magazine asked my wife to do makeup for a popular actress. After the makeup was done, she was not satisfied with the final result, and the two of them had an argument..."
Although Deng Boang spoke tactfully, Zhang Sulan had also been in the circle and could almost guess the cause and effect from just a few words.
They have seen many cases of people acting like big shots and deliberately making things difficult for staff after becoming famous. As people of lower positions, they can sometimes tolerate it if they can, but no one is made of clay, and even a rabbit will bite when it is angry.
However, the consequences of the counterattack were also cruel. He was directly banned. For a time, the models in the circle were afraid of being implicated, so it was natural for them to avoid him as much as possible.
"This competition is my last chance. Consider it my plea..."
"Hey, don't say that." Zhang Sulan interrupted Deng Boang and said after a moment's silence, "Okay, I'll find time to ask for you later, but I must tell her these things. We can't cheat this little girl."
"I know." Deng Boang nodded.
"Even if they don't mind this, Shenzhen is so far from Beijing after all. No matter how much money they offer, they may not be willing to go there."
Zhang Sulan didn't dare to give Deng Boang any guarantees.
"It's okay. If it doesn't work, I'll think of other ways." Deng Boang didn't dare put too much pressure on Zhang Sulan, for fear that she would back down before she even opened her mouth.
"Yeah." Zhang Sulan nodded, and then asked Deng Boang about the specific content of the beauty contest, then opened the door and walked out.
They had been chatting for so long that the preparations in the shooting room were almost done. The two immediately put away all their messy thoughts and started to get into the shooting state.
After so many days of running-in, everyone cooperated very well. Song Shixi could accurately capture the feeling that Deng Boang wanted and strike the right posture.
When we were halfway through filming, an uninvited guest arrived.
Zhang Sulan looked at Gao Xunian, who had slipped up beside her without her noticing, and her brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. However, she was afraid of affecting the filming process, so she could only lower her voice and grit her teeth and ask, "How did you get in?"
She told the people in the office not to tell him the shooting location!
"I tried each room one by one." Gao Xunian stared at the pretty figure not far away, not wanting to blink, and replied perfunctorily.
Zhang Sulan was so angry that she clenched her teeth, but she couldn't do anything to him, so she could only swallow her anger. Fortunately, he didn't make trouble after he came, but just sat next to her, staring blankly at Song Shixi in the middle.
It’s not his fault. Anyone who sees such a beautiful girl would be reluctant to take their eyes off her.
She was now wearing a pair of dark denim flared pants, paired with an indigo shirt and a white suspender underneath. The hem of the shirt was tied into a beautiful bow, revealing a black leather belt that raised her waistline. She was wearing a pair of black high heels, which made her already superior proportions even more prominent.
Her long black hair was half-tied up with a silk scarf of the same color as her shirt. The large circle earrings made her face look only the size of a palm. With black hair, red lips, and delicate facial features, she was exceptionally beautiful and charming.
The clothes and accessories were provided by their factory, but the matching and makeup were basically Song Shixi's ideas.
Zhang Sulan had no idea how her little head could contain so many wonderful ideas, giving so many sets of clothes new life, making them fashionable and stylish, making people want to get the same ones after just one look.
It is normal for Deng Boang to set his sights on her. People like him are born to work in the fashion industry.
During the lunch break, Zhang Sulan grabbed Gao Xunian, who was about to rush forward, and took Song Shixi's arm first, "Sister Shixi, I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Song Shixi didn't think much about it and followed her in another direction. After taking two steps forward, he thought of something and turned back to look at Gao Xunian.
She had noticed him when they were filming just now, and it seemed awkward not to say hello, so she hesitated for two seconds before smiling and nodding at him politely.
Gao Xunian, who was one step behind Zhang Sulan, was originally gritting his teeth, but when he met Song Shixi's smiling eyes, he immediately grinned and smiled too.
