Raising a wolf-like puppy 13
Odlu was pushed out by Du Feng, and the two returned to the room they had just been in.
Odlu's face was extremely pale as he said, "Boss Du, please ask the young master for mercy on my behalf. I don't want to go to Baswell."
"I'll plead for you?" Du Feng looked at him coldly and said, "I've been implicated by you myself, and you still want me to plead for you?"
"I, I really didn't know he was the young master. Besides, I haven't done anything yet!" Odlu squatted down and said while grabbing his hair tightly.
"If you really did something, you wouldn't be going to Baswell, but Hell Island." Du Feng looked at him and said, "Do you still think you've been wronged? If that person wasn't the future Young Master's wife, you would have planned to force her, right? The Young Master saw through your thoughts at a glance!"
"I...even if I haven't done anything meritorious, I've certainly worked hard, right?" Odlu said unwillingly. "I've worked so hard for so many years, can't you just give me a lighter sentence?"
"You broke the rules, so you must be punished. Our rules clearly state that you're not allowed to force anyone. Letting you go to Baswell is already a lenient punishment for you." Du Feng glared at him and said, "I've told you countless times to change your promiscuous and philandering habits, otherwise something bad will happen sooner or later. It would be fine if it was consensual, but you had the idea of forcing someone, and you did it to the wrong person! You almost caused a disaster, do you know?!"
Du Feng grew increasingly angry as he pondered this. Unable to resist, he walked over and gave him a vicious kick. "If it weren't for your abilities, I wouldn't have chosen you from so many other people. And you still want me to plead for you! Do you know how much I regret choosing you as Defias' president?!"
"Young Master still has some things for you to do. This is also an opportunity for you. If you do well, you can stay in Baswell for a few years and maybe you will have a chance to get out. If you don't do well, you should be prepared to stay there for the rest of your life!"
Tao Yuan was standing in front of the dressing mirror changing his clothes. Donahue hugged him from behind, buried his face in his neck and kissed his smooth skin.
"Hurry up and change your clothes. The shooting time is almost up. You are the main show and you can't be late." Tao Yuan urged.
Donahue turned his body around and pressed him against the mirror and kissed him.
…………………………………………………………………………
Tao Yuan's hand was on his shoulder. Before his mind could completely break, Tao Yuan pushed him away with all his strength. With a red face and rapid breathing, he said, "Hurry up and change your clothes."
Donahue admired his expression for a moment, then smiled and turned to get his clothes.
Tao Yuan hurried out of the locker room before he took off all his clothes.
Donahue still hadn't explained his true identity to Tao Yuan, but now he was no longer completely avoiding Tao Yuan about some things. Tao Yuan didn't press him to explain anything, and they just let things flow. One day, he would completely integrate into Donahue's real life.
After the models changed into their clothes for the shoot, they all stood in the same place waiting for the shoot to begin. Although there were only fifteen models in each group, the scene of so many groups of models gathered together was quite spectacular.
Next came the time for the photographers to make their selections, and almost all of them chose Tao Yuan's group. The decision then fell to Tao Yuan, who had to choose the photographer he was most satisfied with from among all the others.
The photographers all looked at Tao Yuan with intense eyes, hoping that he would choose them. Tao Yuan looked at the previous works of those photographers and was choosing his favorite style.
Xiao Yi didn't sleep all night last night and looked quite listless today. He thought all night and felt that even if Odlu was dating many people at the same time, he would never break up with him, at least not before he found his next backer.
The photographers over there were waiting for selection, while the models waiting for shooting here were also competing for beauty. The other models all avoided Tao Yuan's group of models and did not want to stand with them because they could not compare with them at all.
The people in Xiao Yi's group all stood in the corner, not wanting to stand with any other models.
Rachel brought the other models and deliberately walked in front of them. She looked at them and said, "You are still ugly today, setting a new high for haute couture clothing. I don't know if it's because you are ugly that these clothes look so ugly, or because these clothes are too ugly that they make you look so ugly."
"I think they're all ugly. The clothes are ugly, and the people are ugly too."
"Yes, ugly clothes and ugly people are a perfect match in a sense."
"I really feel sorry for them. They are so unlucky that they have to wear such ugly costumes for a show."
"This will definitely become a dark history for them, something they will never be able to erase."
"After the last competition, I heard their value dropped significantly. After this photo is released, their value will probably plummet to the bottom, even lower than the newest rookies."
"It's so pitiful that a model's career is over just because of showing these clothes."
"What's so pitiful about this? Weren't they very smug before? Weren't they very proud of being able to showcase designer Xiao Yi's clothes?"
The model wearing the best-looking clothes ridiculed the model wearing the ugliest clothes, while the other models just watched the fun with cold eyes.
Angela and the others, who were being ridiculed, had grim expressions as they tried to suppress their anger, but they had no way to refute.
After Tao Yuan selected the photographer, their group's photo shoot began. The other photographers who were not selected were full of disappointment and regret, but they could only choose other designers again.
After several rounds, almost all groups had their names selected. When Xiao Yi came to his senses, he discovered that no photographer had chosen him. This made him very angry, and he went to find the organizers and asked them to arrange a photographer for him.
Due to his relationship with Odru, the organizer could only communicate with the only photographer who had not been selected yet and tell him that he had to take a group of photos, otherwise it would be considered a breach of contract.
The photographer had no choice but to take pictures of the models in Xiao Yi's group. He really didn't understand why Xiao Yi insisted on taking pictures with such ugly clothes. If it were him, he would rather find an excuse to withdraw from the competition than make a fool of himself here.
Xiao Yi looked at the clothes he designed and compared them with those designed by others. They were indeed not very good-looking, but he had no choice. The clothes he could recall had all been displayed in the first two games. He couldn't draw the designs for the clothes for the next two days of filming, so he had to ask other designers in the company to come up with the designs and rush to make these clothes.
Xiao Yi was very anxious. He knew that this was not going to work. There were only two days left of filming, and he had to find a way to save the current situation.
The shooting is done by the whole group, rather than shooting separately. All the models in each group enter the country at the same time, with the ancient castle as the background. The photographer wants to capture a very imposing feeling.
Because all the other shooting scenes had been chosen, the photographer finally chose Xiao Yi's group, so they could only go to the rockery scene that no one had chosen. Although the background here was also an ancient castle, it was an oblique angle of the castle, and it was definitely impossible to capture the momentum of the castle from the front.
Both the models and the photographers were reluctant, just wanting to deal with it quickly. Some models even deliberately turned their heads to the side, not wanting their faces to be photographed.
The photographer just took a few perfunctory photos and then called it a day, because no matter how talented he was, he couldn't make these clothes look noble and majestic.
But Xiao Yi felt that even if the model was wearing a piece of rag, a truly talented photographer could still take good pictures. What's more, photos could be retouched later.
When the models were coming down from the rockery, they suddenly heard a loud scream, which scared them so much that they all turned around to look.
Angel fell from the rockery. The rockery was quite high and there was a marble floor underneath. He probably broke his bones if he fell like that.
Hearing Angele's screams, the staff and the models who had already gone down immediately ran to the back of the rockery to see what was happening. They were all shocked to see Angele lying on the ground with blood all over his face, wailing.
The staff quickly called an ambulance. Angele was so badly injured that he had to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible. They didn't dare to move him and could only wait for the hospital staff to come and carry him away.
The commotion here attracted the attention of the models from other groups. Tao Yuan also turned his head and looked for a while, then turned his gaze to Donahue.
Donahue looked at him with innocence and confusion.
Tao Yuan thought to himself, you big-tailed wolf, just keep pretending, let’s see how long you can last.
After the ambulance arrived, they carried Angele away. Judging from the way he was wailing, he must have been seriously injured.
After the other groups had basically finished their shoots, Tao Yuan's photographer kept on shooting, even asking to take individual photos of the models. However, he was stopped by the organizer's staff, who said that according to regulations, only group photos were allowed, and that the photo session was over and they had to pack up. The photographer had no choice but to end the shoot with regret.
…………………………………………
After returning to the room, Xiao Yi received a call from the staff saying that Angele had two broken bones and a serious facial injury, and that it was definitely impossible to continue the shoot. Without a sufficient number of models, the subsequent shoot could not proceed. Xiao Yi had no choice but to go to Odru and ask him to ask the organizer to arrange another model for him. This was originally a special case and should be handled specially.
"I saw the costumes you designed today. To be honest, I don't understand what you were thinking. You will definitely be scolded if you participate in such a competition with such costumes. You might as well take this opportunity to withdraw from the competition. At least you won't be scolded even more badly." Odlu said expressionlessly.
"Please help me find some great photo retouchers to help me get the effect I want." This was another reason why Xiao Yi came to him.
"Photos can be edited, but what about animated GIFs? The quality of your outfits is immediately exposed once you use animated GIFs."
"Gifs can be edited now. I've seen many that look really good."
"You can only edit the background of an animated picture. How are you going to let someone edit your outfit to look good? Don't you even have this little common sense?"
Xiao Yi lowered his head in silence. He knew his costumes weren't very good, but even if they were, they weren't designed by him. He really didn't want to withdraw from the competition like this. No matter what, he wanted to save some face after the competition.
"I have a way to help you get a very good ranking in this final game." Odru began to carry out the task assigned to him by Donahue.
"What method?!" Xiao Yi immediately looked up at him.
"Before I talk about this method, there is one thing I need to make clear to you. This is the last time I will help you. Think of it as a breakup fee. After this, we're broken up. Don't bother me anymore."
Xiao Yi clenched his fists tightly. After struggling for a while, he proposed, "In addition to helping me get a good ranking in the final competition, you also have to help me find a way to destroy Xiao Yu. This is my last request. As long as you help me do it, I will never contact you again."
"Okay." Odlu agreed immediately, with no emotion on his face.
"Then you can tell me now how you are going to help me?" Xiao Yi looked at him and said.
Odru told Xiao Yi about his plan. Xiao Yi felt that it was a bit risky, but thinking that with Odru's help, there shouldn't be any problem, he agreed to his plan.
At night, Tao Yuan lay in Donahue's arms, feeling physically and mentally satisfied. Donahue hugged him and suddenly asked, "Do you like traveling around?"
Tao Yuan opened his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Traveling or staying at home, it doesn't matter to me. The key is who I'm with."
"After this competition is over, we'll travel around the world. I'll show you the places I've been to before," Donahue said. "I've discovered a lot of interesting places."
"Let me tell you first, even if I travel around the world, I will only go to places where I can enjoy myself, not places where it is hardship or danger." Tao Yuan knew that he loved to pursue excitement the most, but didn't want him to do anything dangerous.
"How could I bear to let you suffer and face danger? This journey must be one you can enjoy," Donahue promised.
"In addition to the danger I mentioned, there is another dangerous thing that you are not allowed to do again." Tao Yuan took the opportunity to make a request to him, because he had never revealed his identity to him and he had no chance to tell him.
"..." Donahue was a little confused. He didn't know why he seemed to know a lot about him, and he didn't know how he knew it.
"If you don't agree, let's break up." Tao Yuan threatened.
"I agree." Donahue gave in immediately.
Tao Yuan finally closed his eyes contentedly, then leaned his face against his chest, ready to sleep. Tao Yuan knew that since he had promised, he would definitely do it. He thought to himself, a life of traveling? He hadn't had many opportunities to travel in his previous lives, so it seemed like a good idea to try this kind of life in this life.
The filming continued on the second day, and this day's filming took place inside the castle.
Tao Yuan's group of models never showed up, and Xiao Yi was very proud, thinking that this was just the beginning. Even if you were reborn, you would never be able to defeat me in this lifetime.
Xiao Yi turned around and looked at his group of models. His outfit today was arranged for him by Odru, and it was very different from the outfits in the previous two shows.
The other models also looked at them with some surprise, thinking that the level of designer Xiao Yi was too different. Since he had such beautiful clothes, why didn't he show them off earlier?
Angela had been feeling depressed since the second match, but today she finally got to wear a nice outfit for the photoshoot. Seeing the surprised looks from the others, she felt much better.
Xiao Yi looked at the time. As long as the shooting time came, the organizer would start the shooting immediately. However, Xiao Yu's group of models would definitely not be able to show up even after the shooting was over.
Xiao Yi was feeling proud when he heard exclamations from all around. He followed the people's gaze and saw that the models from Tao Yuan's group appeared. The clothes they wore this time were even more stunning than all the previous ones.
Before, when other models saw their group of models, they couldn't help but want to avoid them, not wanting to stand next to them and be outshone. But now, other models couldn't help but gather around them, just to have a feast for their eyes and admire them up close.
Xiao Yi looked at the clothes on the models and was stunned for a long time because of shock. He wondered if such beautiful clothes were actually designed by Xiao Yu?
After he came to his senses, he remembered that Odlu had clearly promised him that he would never let those clothes have a chance to appear, so why did they still appear?
After the filming was over, Xiao Yi hurried to find Odlu and asked him why he didn't follow the agreed plan and send someone to destroy Tao Yuan's costumes.
He went to Odru's room and found no one there. His luggage and other belongings were gone. He called him but couldn't get through. He couldn't explain why, but he had a bad feeling.
However, he felt that the filming was over, and even if Tao Yuan's costume was not ruined, at least he had saved face in the end.
Xiao Yi consoled himself mentally, thinking that Odlu might have left because of something urgent. He'd been unable to contact him often before, and maybe after a while, he'd be able to get through to him again. He'd promised him that he'd help him destroy Xiao Yu, and until he'd done all that, he'd definitely find a way to keep him at bay.
After those photos were released, the voting rankings were quickly announced, and Tao Yuan won first place without any surprise.
Xiao Yi's ranking was very low. Although he produced some pretty good clothes on the last day of shooting, his designs were so different that they were criticized by haute couture lovers, so they didn't want to vote for him.
Most of Xiao Yi's fans also switched sides around this time, as they couldn't help but be drawn to the clothes Tao Yuan displayed. He had previously become a fan of Xiao Yi because of the clothes he posted, not because of him as a person.
Xiao Yi felt that the game was finally over and the result was already like this. Since he had no way to change it, he would find a way to restore the face he lost in this game later.
Xiao Yi didn't even attend the final celebration banquet and hurried back home. He really didn't have the face to stay for the banquet. Moreover, Tao Yuan ranked first, and he knew that he would definitely be the center of attention at the banquet, so he was even more reluctant to attend.
The continuous carnival and celebration in Los Angeles has not yet ended. A video was exposed on the Internet, like a bomb thrown into the water, which immediately exploded with a huge splash.
After receiving the notification from his assistant, Xiao Yi immediately ran into the study, turned on the computer and clicked on the video.
In the video, he and Odru were lying on the bed. Odru hugged him and asked, "I have a question for you. Why are the costumes you designed before so beautiful, but the costumes you designed in this competition are so weird and ugly?"
Xiao Yi's eyes were unfocused. He smiled and said, "Because the clothes I released before were not designed by me at all. They were designed by Xiao Yu."
"Oh?" Odru said in surprise, "In other words, the costumes you released before were all stolen from Xiao Yu's designs."
"I didn't steal it. I used a very mysterious method to know all his designs, and then I just used them. But he suddenly released all his designs, so I had no designs to use. I had to piece them together and use designs from other designers."
"Those ugly clothes were designed by other designers?"
"Not entirely. The costumes for the first competition were designed by other designers, and the costumes for the subsequent shows were all designed by other designers in our company. I can't even design those ugly ones myself. But for tomorrow's shoot, you promised me that you would buy me good costumes so that I can make it in time for tomorrow's shoot."
"Don't worry, we will definitely catch up. Those costumes have been made, but they haven't been released yet. I will spend a lot of money to buy them and have them delivered to you directly." Although Odlu was deliberately trying to trick him, he was still surprised to hear his answer.
"It's great to have you, but unfortunately... why did you break up with me? Can't we keep this relationship forever? I don't mind you dating other people at the same time. Although you promised to help me destroy Xiao Yu, there will definitely be many things that need your help in the future. Let's not break up, okay..."
"Ah!!" Xiao Yi slammed his computer to the ground. Why didn't he remember saying these words? He had no recollection of them at all. Odru was clearly trying to trick him. How could he possibly tell him these things?!
Xiao Yi grabbed his head, trying to recall what happened that day. After Odlu finished explaining his plan, he poured him a glass of wine and said that since they were breaking up, they should do it one last time as a commemoration of their breakup. After he drank the wine, he and Odlu went to bed, and then he didn't remember anything.
That glass of wine! There must be something wrong with that glass of wine! Xiao Yi took out his phone and tremblingly called Audreau. He wanted to find him and ask him why he did this to him?
This incident caused a huge uproar, with netizens around the world boycotting Xiao Yi, with those in his own country being the most vocal. It was truly despicable that someone who couldn't even design clothes, relying on stealing other people's designs, not only gained fame and fortune but also acted smugly.
After learning about this, Mr. Xiao and Xiao Sheng were shocked and didn't know how to react. They had never imagined that Xiao Yi's previously acclaimed clothes were actually stolen from Xiao Yu's designs. But thinking back carefully, Xiao Yi had never shown any talent for design before. It was as if one day, he suddenly became very good at designing clothes, and every show he put on was amazing.
Old Master Xiao was devastated and went straight to the hospital. He knew very well that if these things Xiao Yi had done were exposed, their Xiao family's company would definitely be affected.
Xiao Yi stayed awake all night, constantly trying to call Odlu, but couldn't get through. He knew that even if he did get through, it would be illegal to win him back. But this was the last string in his heart, and if it broke, he would be completely despairing. So he wanted to get through and ask Odlu why he did this, but he also wanted to never get through, so that he could at least have a little hope.
Xiao Sheng sighed all day long, and Zhao Xin cried all day long. In the end, her son was still not as good as Li Jinmeng's son. They thought that the Xiao family's company was definitely finished, and now the only one who could save the Xiao family's company was Xiao Yu.
After the couture season ended, Tao Yuan and Donahue traveled around the world, changing their accommodations every once in a while. In two or three months, they visited four or five different places.
Tao Yuan had originally thought that Donahue's global travel would involve traveling independently, like a backpacker, with only a backpack. However, after visiting several different places, he realized that Donahue was simply taking him on a journey of luxurious luxury.
They watched snow fall from a glass house in the Arctic. Despite the icy weather outside, it was so warm inside that they didn't need to wear any clothes. They also traveled to the tropics, where Donahue flew a helicopter to watch the migration of wild animals. They also took a boat out to sea, visiting a dolphin colony and watching hundreds of them dance.
After returning from a deserted place to a bustling city, Tao Yuan checked into the hotel owned by his stepfather. He pulled out his phone and prepared to call Li Jinmeng to arrange a dinner date the following afternoon. As soon as he turned it on, he was greeted by hundreds of missed calls and then hundreds of messages, all from Xiao Sheng.
From the very beginning, asking him to call him back, to asking him to go back and see the original owner's grandfather, to hoping he could return to inherit the Xiao family's company, Xiao Sheng persuaded him with both emotional and logical reasoning. The last message was that his grandfather had passed away and, before his death, had revised his will, hoping he could return. However, the last message was received half a month ago.
Tao Yuan didn't read all the messages, just glanced at the first and last few before ignoring them. It wasn't that he was cold-blooded. The original owner had no feelings for that family, and he had even less. He didn't need to maintain feelings with those who only wanted to use him. When he first came into this world and Old Master Xiao announced his will, he had made it very clear.
After Tao Yuan finished calling Li Jinmeng, Donald Trump came out of the bathroom and hugged him from behind. Tao Yuan closed his eyes and leaned against him. Neither of them spoke, just snuggling together quietly. For them, it was also a very beautiful thing.
Afterwards, Tao Yuan and Donahue will go to meet his two fathers to discuss their marriage. Thinking of that magical and mysterious couple, Tao Yuan is a little excited and a little nervous.
