Chapter 14 - Such a coincidence
Chapter 14 - Such a coincidence
The fashion week celebration party of the top luxury brands is a very typical vanity fair.
Celebrities from the fashion, entertainment and even political and business circles come and go here. All of them are dressed very elegantly, as if they are ready to face the camera perfectly at any time. Especially the models and artists, they all changed into their second or even third outfit of the day, looking as beautiful as if they were walking on the red carpet, and the whole venue was star-studded.
This was not the first time that Su Cenxi had attended such an occasion, but he had not "fought alone" for a long time. In his opinion, everyone's every move and gesture at the party seemed like acting. The atmosphere seemed warm at first glance, but it was actually suffocating - or it was suffocating for Su Cenxi. He walked into the meeting room without even saying hello, but he was so nervous that he felt a stomachache and his vision seemed to be going black.
Oh, black spots in front of your eyes may also be caused by low blood sugar.
In order to show off her best figure, Su Cenxi ate and drank little the whole day today and only ate two small pieces of chocolate in total.
Just as Su Cenxi was considering whether to find a place to sit down and rest for a while, Jia Silin, who was following him, suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Fuck...someone is wearing the same clothes as you!"
Su Cenxi looked in the direction she pointed and found that the person wearing the same clothes was actually a female model. The suit and trousers the other person was wearing were indeed of the same brand, series, and main color as those worn by Su Cenxi, but the specific styles were slightly different. The female model's coat is cut more staggered and flowing, and the waist is more pronounced, while Su Cenxi's coat is relatively stable and three-dimensional. If an outsider were to look at it, this might not be considered a coincidence. But tonight's party is full of people in the industry, and anyone who takes a look will know that Su Cenxi and the female model are wearing the same clothes.
What's unfortunate is that this female model is ST and a top supermodel. She made it into the top ten in the fiercely competitive MDC ranking of women last year. If Su Cenxi dares to play the game of "wearing the same clothes is not a big deal, but whoever is ugly will be embarrassed" with her, the one who will be unlucky may be Su Cenxi herself.
"I've clearly asked about other male models and male artists borrowing brand A clothes, so how come there's a female model wearing suit pants? We're so unlucky that we run into one..." Jaslin complained in a low voice, making Su Cenxi dazed. He vaguely realized that Jaslin was shirking responsibility. If Ning Fei was the one to do this, she would never let him wear the same clothes as others. Even if there was a collision, Ning Fei's reaction was to immediately adjust the styling so that the collision would not be so obvious, instead of rambling on and on to explain that he had done his duty.
What's even more ridiculous is that when Su Cenxi was thinking about his agent's negligence, he never thought about dealing with the matter urgently himself.
So when these two hadn't taken any effective measures, a bigger crisis came - the ST female model who was wearing the same clothes actually noticed that she was wearing the same clothes, and after saying a few words to her companion next to her, she turned around and walked towards Su Cenxi!
Su Cenxi seemed to have lost the ability to move until the other party stood in front of him and smiled at him: "Hi, I see we are wearing the same clothes, what a coincidence, I came to say hello to you."
She spoke foreign language with an accent, and Su Cenxi's foreign language was not very good, so she didn't understand most of it. Fortunately, he managed to understand the last greeting, so he replied: "...Good evening, Annie."
"Oh, you know me, that's great, I don't need to introduce myself." Annie looked him up and down, "Are you a model too?"
Annie may not have any bad intentions, but when her eyes turned like this, Su Cenxi couldn't help but tense up: "I'm a model, Annie, my name is Su Cenxi. I also walked the runway for Brand A today."
"Are you from ST Dahua District Company?"
"No." Su Cenxi stumbled back at Jiasilin's whispered prompt, "I'm in my own studio."
"Oh—" Annie lost interest in asking and instead made a request, "Since it's such a coincidence, how about we take a photo together? I want to post it to my account!"
After listening to Jaslin's translation, Su Cenxi broke out in a cold sweat.
What is this for? Is it really the case that “whoever is ugly will be embarrassed”?
Su Cenxi couldn't figure out whether the other party did this out of malicious intent, nor did she know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for her to have her photo included in the TOP 10. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, and Jaslin didn't even give any feedback. Jaslin said she was a top agent, but she had never met a celebrity as big as Annie before, so she had no idea what this woman was trying to do.
In just a few seconds, seeing that he kept smiling and didn't object, Annie took out her cell phone from her purse and handed it to Jasmine to help take the picture.
Jaslin was in a dilemma and had to help take the photos, secretly trying to figure out how to make sure Su Cenxi would not be outshined in the camera. The scary thing is that while they were taking pictures here, reporters, photographers and even curious people with a keen sense of smell also came over to take pictures.
As soon as the professional equipment arrived, the flash flashed continuously for a long time. Annie was a bit of an entertainment. She struck several poses and took photos while interacting with Su Cenxi. Things have developed to this point, and Su Cenxi can only cooperate. She can't be like a wooden stake even though she is a supermodel, right? The flash made his brain dizzy, and he just relied on instinct to tense his body and pose.
Jaslin took a few pictures and gradually came up with an idea: How about... making their clothes look like couple outfits? At least it’s better than wearing the same clothes as others!
After making up her mind, Jaslin was about to take out her phone to take a photo when a male voice suddenly came from behind her: "What are you taking photos of?"
As soon as Jaslin turned her head, the owner of the voice stepped forward from the crowd - it was Duan Yunhong!
"Andrew!" Annie smiled and finally left Su Cenxi's side. "Look at the boy's clothes. What a coincidence! I just wanted to take a picture and post it on my account! Can I take it?"
"I have no objection." Duan Yunhong said, looking back, "What do you think, Mr. Ryan?"
Only then did Su Cenxi notice that behind the group of people taking photos stood a man with silver hair and beard, about forty years old, dressed fashionably - it was Ryan, the current chief designer of Brand A!
Ryan should have come with Duan Yunhong, and he replied casually: "Whatever you want, take pictures if you want."
Duan Yunhong nodded, glanced at Su Cenxi again, and said lightly: "The classic replica series made by Brand A this year has been changed to only women's clothing. Mr. Su's men's clothing is the version from 18 years ago."
This statement really sounds like a sharp criticism of Su Cenxi's lack of fashion sensitivity and her inability to wear the latest clothes. But it was all spoken in a foreign language, and Su Cenxi couldn't keep up. He just felt that Duan Yunhong had some "ill intentions". Fortunately, Jia Silin finally made some progress this time and explained: "What Su Cenxi is wearing is indeed a classic vintage piece, one of the original pieces in the collection."
"There are original collections of this, too?" Ryan sighed casually, "I've seen all the classic original collections designed by the teacher at Brand A, but I've never seen this one. Based on my understanding of the teacher, he definitely wouldn't have designed a design with such proportions back then..."
He spoke so fast that Jaslin couldn't catch it. She could only pick out some key words to understand and translate: "Ryan has never seen the original of this dress. He thinks the proportions of this dress are different from the original design..."
Su Cenxi felt that his stomachache and dizziness became more obvious.
This dress was loaned to her by someone from the studio. When Su Cenxi tried it on, she was praised highly. How could she have thought of asking about the original's origin, whether it was reliable, whether it had been altered, or what story behind its collection? This is not something Su Cenxi must know. It is the agent's job to confirm!
But at the moment, Jaslin did not answer these key questions and just focused on translating.
Su Cenxi didn't know that there was something wrong with Jaslin's translation. She just felt that the more she listened, the more it sounded like Ryan was saying that this set of vintage men's clothing was fake and a high imitation. He didn't know whether the clothes were real or fake, but if Ryan said they were fake, then they would become fake. Su Cenxi didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen if she was caught wearing counterfeit goods at Brand A’s celebration party!
But there was a curious reporter at the scene who asked, "Su Cenxi, is this set of clothes of yours collected by Mr. Gu? If not, where did it come from?"
Su Cenxi forced a smile and said, "It's not collected by Gu Hechen, it was borrowed from the studio."
The reporter asked again: "So was this dress altered from the original? Who altered it?"
Su Cenxi didn't dare to tell the truth that he didn't know anything about, nor did he dare not answer. He said ambiguously in a daze, "Well, I should ask the original collector about this..."
He himself didn't know what he was talking about. Just when he thought he was doomed, the reporter suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, why didn't Mr. Gu come with you today? He didn't come to see your show either. What's the reason?"
Su Cenxi was stunned for a moment, then said: "He has his job, and I have mine."
The reporter asked again: "It was revealed online that there are spies inside Gu's company and one of its CEOs was arrested. What do you think of this?"
Su Cenxi: "I don't understand this matter..."
Gu's gossip is obviously much more interesting than a piece of clothing. Even if Su Cenxi always said he didn't know, he was Gu Hechen's boyfriend after all. If he said anything wrong or leaked anything, it would be worth writing a news article. The reporters became interested and rushed forward, surrounding Su Cenxi tightly, as if they wanted to find out everything about Gu Hechen's recent schedule.
Duan Yunhong was not interested in these farces. He looked at Annie who was left aside and said, "Come with me. Someone wants to measure your 30 million step speed."
"Here we go!" Annie immediately followed her boss and whispered, "Andrew, did you deliberately ask me to wear this tonight? Are you satisfied with the little fun I just had?"
Duan Yunhong glanced at her: "It's just a coincidence."
"OK, 'coincidence'." Anne stretched out her index and middle fingers, hooked them, and made a quotation mark. Then she asked, "What are you doing now? Do you really want to measure your walking speed?"
Duan Yunhong: “Yes.”
Anne asked, "What should I coordinate with? Fast or slow?"
Duan Yunhong: "It's not certain whether it will work out or not. If it does, I will have to cooperate with a 'great beauty' in the future - a steel beauty."
Annie: “…Ah?”
The two of them had not walked far, before leaving the party hall, when they suddenly heard a commotion coming from behind them.
"Someone come quickly, Su Cenxi fainted!!!"
