In the end, it was Shen Jie's arrival that eased Fang Yang's embarrassment. "These are various kinds of pants, shirts and ties. Take a look at them first, and if they are suitable, I will go get the unopened ones."
Looking at the table full of shirts and ties, Fang Yang had a huge headache. What should have been a simple matter had become complicated after the two women stirred things up. With his objections ineffective, Fang Yang had no choice but to go back and forth between the negotiation area and the changing room, constantly trying on pants and shirts to find the right match. He felt more tired than if he had been filming a movie all afternoon!
Shen Jie did her best, spending the entire afternoon helping Fang Yang and Zhou Xin choose different styles and try to match them. The results were quite fruitful. Not only were Fang Yang and Zhou Xin's clothes for the party purchased, but several coats and suits for the two of them to wear in winter were also ordered. Even winter clothes for Zhou Haijun and Ni Sufeng were prepared. Of course, Loro Piana would need to come to their home to take their measurements.
Shen Jie never expected to have such a gain from meeting her old classmate. It all started because Zhou Xin knew too much about this extremely low-key luxury brand. Loro Piana is the world's largest plush manufacturer and plush buyer, and is also Italy's undisputed national treasure-level fabric brand.
The average diameter of vicuña hair is 12-13 microns, which is finer than the 14-15 microns of top-grade cashmere. Although vicuña hair is very fine and light, it can withstand the severe cold at high altitudes of over 4,000 meters, and its warmth retention is outstanding.
With so many advantages, it made Zhou Xin, who prioritized style over warmth, particularly fond of it. Who would want to be wrapped up like a mummy in the dead of winter, making it extremely difficult to even raise their hand?
Fang Yang, who was complaining about the exorbitant price, suddenly became generous after hearing about how warm it was. He ordered a set for his uncle's family, his grandparents, his maternal grandparents, and Zhou Xin's grandparents, according to the roster!
When an order worth five or six million was placed, even the experienced Shen Jie was stunned. "Fang Yang, is it really necessary to buy so much? Although you're doing this to support my business, this order is too big. I can't handle it!"
Fang Yang laughed and said, "Last year when I went back for the Spring Festival, I brought back a lot of cigarettes and alcohol, and a set of clothes for everyone. But if I had known that these clothes were so warm, I would have bought a set for each person long ago. Especially for the elderly, winter is particularly difficult. Most of them have cold hands and feet, and even electric blankets can't keep them warm. You can't have an electric blanket with you all the time, so a set of warm clothes is more practical than any delicacies."
Shen Jie joked, "Oh, I didn't expect a big star to be such a sweetheart. Okay, since you're doing this to show your filial piety, I won't stop you. Don't worry, with the phone numbers and addresses you provide, our company will send someone to measure right away, and we'll deliver the goods to you before the New Year. It definitely won't affect your visit as a prospective son-in-law."
When Shen Jie first saw Zhou Xin provide her family's phone number and address, she knew what was going on. Now she took it out to tease Fang Yang. After all, the two of them were deskmates for a year but barely exchanged a few words. A while ago, she had imagined for a while after hearing the song "My Deskmate". She never expected that he would bring his girlfriend to her door. Although it was a chance encounter, her heart still ached a little under her forced smile.
After saying goodbye to Shen Jie, it was completely dark. After walking around all afternoon, the two of them were a little hungry. The rooftop was full of restaurants, so there was no need to go out to eat. They could just have a big meal to reward their already empty stomachs.
Two days later, Fang Yang arrived in Xiamen with Zhou Xin, Xu Peng, Jin Dahai, and two bodyguards, Su Cheng and Bai Mo. Fang Yang felt that his chances of winning the Golden Rooster Award were slim, but Jin Dahai still had a chance. "Frozen" still had a chance to be nominated for Best Film. As for commercial films like "Shaolin Temple," he could forget about winning a place at the Golden Rooster Award.
Since they had no expectations from the start, the group was relatively calm. Xu Peng, in particular, came with the mindset of seeing the world, following closely behind Fang Yang, smiling and earnestly learning Fang Yang's every move. He rarely spoke, and even when interviewed by reporters, he volunteered to act as a bodyguard, showing no trace of an actor's demeanor.
After walking the red carpet and signing the autograph wall, the group was led to their seats in the third row. These were seats that were neither too high nor too low, roughly equivalent to Fang Yang's current status in the film and television industry, since they were all still newcomers.
As soon as Fang Yang sat down, someone patted him on the shoulder. This routine seemed strangely familiar. He turned around and saw, damn it, it was Zhang Ze again, greeting Fang Yang over Xu Peng.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, it's really fate that we're here together. This is Xu Peng from our company. Do you remember him? He played the little monk in 'Shaolin Temple'. If you have the chance next time, you must recommend him to us. Playing a little monk is a piece of cake for him."
Zhang Ze didn't expect Fang Yang to make such a move right away, and he was caught off guard for a moment before realizing that he was being asked to mentor a junior. "President Fang, that's no problem. I've heard about Xiao Xu's martial arts skills from Master Jin several times. He's a promising talent. But President Fang, when are you going to deliver on your promise of a late-night snack? I've been looking forward to it."
Fang Yang blinked. "Did I say that? I don't recall ever doing that."
"Really? You're such a big boss, and you're going to cheat on a late-night snack? That's not like you at all!"
Zhang looked aggrieved, as if she had suffered a great blow. Her eyes quickly filled with tears, and she looked like a new bride being scolded by her mother-in-law. Her expression was as exaggerated as it could be.
Fang Yang was also disgusted by this guy's shameless behavior, and pointed out to Xu Peng: "See? This is a real acting master. He is performing everywhere in his life. Acting has been engraved into every detail of his life. When you can reach his level one day, any Best Actor award will be yours."
Zhang Ze chuckled awkwardly, "President Fang, that's going too far. It was just a little joke. You're making it sound like I'm some big shot."
“Of course, Teacher Zhang, you are a senior teacher. Your every move and word is a role model for newcomers like Xiao Xu. It’s rare to meet such a warm-hearted and good teacher as you. If we don’t study hard, when will we ever get the chance?”
"Alright, alright, I give up. Even if it's just for a meal, you don't have to belittle me like this. Little Xu, let me tell you, acting requires thick skin. In every scene, you have to act like you're an extra, learning as hard as you can. Whether you're a professional or not, until you've mastered it, you're just a newbie with no say. If you want to improve, you have to be shameless and ask those senior actors for advice..."
Watching Zhang Ze impart his experience to Xu Peng, Fang Yang and Zhou Xin exchanged a smile. This was how seniors should act. How much Xu Peng could learn depended on his comprehension. The master could guide him in, but the cultivation was up to him. Especially for someone like Xu Peng who hadn't received formal training, learning from Zhang Ze, who was also self-taught, was a perfect match!
