Chapter 74 Attendance
Xu Kaiming leaned over to Chen Duo and said, "We're getting engaged soon. Luxury brand D is having a new product launch in Shanghai. Go pick out some clothes. I'll pay for everything!"
Chen Duo glanced at him. It was obvious that he had made some money recently from the surrounding areas. He spoke more confidently and acted as if he wanted to book the whole place wherever he went.
Chen Duo was amused by him and pinched his face: "Okay."
Xu Kaiming was delighted when he heard this. Shanghai was his base, so it would be convenient for him to prepare surprises.
The two flew to Shanghai. Xu Kaiming had already received the invitation to the first row.
Before going out to the show, I went to a styling studio to get my hair done. I really look like an idol.
Chen Duo was wearing a black culottes and a black off-shoulder short-sleeved top. She was very thin to begin with, and the black culottes looked very cool. She had no decorations on her body, only a vintage bag that was covered with sparkling diamonds.
When Chen Duo came out, Xu Kaiming was stunned.
"How is it?" The stylist next to her said, "Low-key yet simple." This is the favorite combination of young ladies from wealthy families. It is refreshing and generous, and has a strong sense of design. Originally, I wanted to give her an emerald necklace, but Chen Duo refused. She is beautiful and delicate, and has a light complexion. Wearing big jewelry would make her look cumbersome.
The stylist was convinced by her and found that she looked better after removing the jewelry.
This bag is purely decorative, housing a lipstick and a mirror. Seeing the size of this spherical, diamond-studded bag, Chen Duo slipped a mini camera inside. This vintage camera's photos are incredibly captivating and have become a viral hit online. It naturally captures colors that filters can't achieve.
"She looks so beautiful." Xu Kaiming said. He always saw Chen Duo's simple and neat look before, but when she dressed up, she was so attractive that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Chen Duo coughed dryly. After all, the stylist was watching them like he was enjoying a good show.
After hearing Chen Duo's reminder, Xu Kaiming calmed down a lot. The driver was already waiting outside.
Xu Kaiming followed Chen Duo closely all the way like a flower protector.
Soon they entered through the VIP channel, and a red carpet was laid outside, and many celebrities and reporters were invited to promote the event.
When Chen Duo and Xu Kaiming entered, they saw several familiar people.
I guess they are from the same circle of rich second-generations. Although they are not familiar with each other, they have to say hello since they know each other.
In such occasions, Xu Kaiming changed his usual nonchalant attitude and became much more reliable. The watch on his wrist and the cuffs of his suit were all made of diamonds. Like Chen Duo, his outfit looked plain on the surface, but it was actually very expensive.
Even the designer from D, the organizer of the event, came out to say a few words. The foreign designer, who had thought Xu Kaiming was an entertainer, was a little disappointed to learn that he was just the son of a wealthy family and couldn't be a model.
Xu Kaiming is a heir who has been trained in a serious manner. He is like a fish in water in such occasions. Chen Duo is unwilling to socialize and goes backstage.
I unexpectedly saw Xia Dan.
Xia Dan was also surprised to see her: "Are you here to see the show too?"
Chen Duo nodded.
Xia Dan said a little sheepishly, "I took a leave of absence from filming. Sister Hua said I should get to know more fashion resources and connections, so I came here." She was wearing bright red lipstick, seven-figure jewelry, and an exaggerated dress. Being photographed by a crowd outside was a bit unsettling. But her acting was good, and she had prepared herself to play a star, so she managed to hold her own.
Chen Duo said, "I heard that you've been working hard on filming recently. You should also take care of yourself and don't rush things."
Xia Dan looked at Chen Duo with burning eyes: "I want you to see my play as soon as possible." The second half of the sentence was to tell her that you did not choose the wrong person.
Chen Duo said: "I have always liked your acting. There are no more than ten people in the industry with acting skills like yours at your age."
Xia Dan didn't expect that she would have such a high opinion of herself, so she became even more excited.
Who knew that this was interrupted by someone next to him: "Get out of the way, you are blocking other people's way, can't you see?" There was a very unfriendly tone in the voice.
Chen Duo hadn't heard such a provocative tone for a long time, and then turned his head to look.
Xia Dan took one look and her face fell. "Liu Jianing." Director Meng had cast her for his play, and he had some feelings about her. Xia Dan hadn't paid much attention to it, but now she frowned.
Liu Jianing was in a bad mood. He looked Xia Dan up and down and sneered disdainfully: "Hmph." He said nothing, but it seemed as if he had said everything.
Liu Jianing was in a really bad mood and said, "Even when she puts on a haute couture dress, she doesn't look like a female star." He had been her supporting role before, but now the pressure was on her head. How could she bear it?
Xia Dan said, "Watch your mouth."
"Am I wrong?" Liu Jianing looked at Xia Dan, "I really don't know what Director Meng sees in you."
Just as Xia Dan was about to speak, Chen Duo stopped her. After all, there were many people backstage, and there might be people taking secret photos. Chen Duo said, "Director Meng is a famous director, so he naturally has his own way of selecting people. Unlike some people, it's useless to dress nicely, because they still won't choose you."
She is an amateur, it's okay to criticize her.
"You..." Liu Jianing was furious. She was about to say something, but suddenly Sister Juan came out, pulled her aside and said, "The editor-in-chief of D is looking for you. What are you doing here?" Then she took Liu Jianing away without even a glance at them.
This kind of indifference is even more annoying.
Xia Dan said, "She seems to mind that Director Meng's scenes were taken away by me. If that's the case, I must film it well and give her a slap in the face."
Chen Duo hummed. That Liu Jianing seems to be a close friend of D's brand. I'll have to tell the editor later that she's not very good at choosing spokespeople.
