“I’m going to a fashion show and I want to meet their chief designer and ask her to design my wedding dress.”
Xia Zicheng's sister was unusually happy.
"Is it necessary? Why not just email their studio or contact their headquarters and have them come to see you directly?"
"You're exaggerating a bit. Do you think our Xia family is some kind of social elite? Countless people want Emily's work, and there are so many people on the waiting list. I have to get there first, and ideally, I should meet her in advance and make an appointment with her."
Xia Zicheng scoffed: "What Emily loves rice grains? You guys are exaggerating."
"Xia Zicheng, you'd better shut your mouth. If you keep talking nonsense, your allowance for this month will be gone! Do you know how amazing Emily is? World-renowned superstars all seek her out to design their wedding dresses. If she weren't Chinese, we might not even have received this invitation."
"Is she Chinese?"
Xia Zicheng became a little interested.
"Yes, and she's very beautiful."
Brother Xia, who was usually serious and rarely smiled, actually spoke up at this moment.
Xia Zicheng opened her mouth slightly, looking at her older brother with a surprised expression: "Big brother, what do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything."
Brother Xia didn't seem to want to say much.
"Big brother just wants to see Emily. He's been obsessed with her ever since he met her in the US. Luckily, I have connections and managed to get an invitation." Sister Xia didn't hold back in exposing her brother's shortcomings.
Hearing his older brother and sister's description and knowing that he had nothing to do tonight, Xia Zicheng raised an eyebrow: "Then can you take me with you, big brother and sister? I can carry your bags. I also want to see the world."
Half an hour later, the three members of the Xia family got into the car and headed to the fashion show venue.
Meanwhile, Du Baiwei was accompanying the president as he chose a suit.
The CEO, who doesn't usually pay much attention to his attire, had extensive discussions with a fashion stylist before finally choosing a suit to wear.
A year has passed, and Cheng Yanzheng's temperament has become more profound. His face is still as handsome as ever, but his eyes are like cold pools, making them unfathomable.
Du Baiwei went over today's schedule with her other assistants.
It was just a fashion show, and the partners invited them to watch it. It was something they could have chosen or not to attend, but the CEO made a big fuss about it, selecting outfits and even changing several times. It was really making a mountain out of a molehill.
Du Baiwei was unimpressed by the fashion show.
She had attended similar exhibitions with Cheng Yanzheng more than once. The overall process and scenes were all very similar. No matter how beautiful the costumes were, they were not much different in the eyes of people who could not appreciate the artistic sense.
Du Baiwei is a pragmatic person. For her, life is the most important thing. So-called art and so-called feelings have nothing to do with her at all.
Upon arriving at the scene, Du Baiwei followed Cheng Yanzheng and sat down in her assigned seat.
Surprisingly, many celebrities attended this fashion show.
Du Baiwei's salary isn't particularly high, but she has certainly broadened her horizons over the past few years. She now knows several influential figures, and there are some big shots on her contact list.
She was no longer like before, ignorant and ridiculed as a country bumpkin.
She quickly realized that this show would be a big hit.
Looking at the organizer, it was an American company, and the chief designer's name was Emily.
Du Baiwei secretly searched and found that Emily only had works, but no specific introduction or photos.
Her work is renowned because she recently designed a stunning wedding dress for a world-class superstar, which was widely reported by various international media outlets.
The superstar opened the door for Emily, and she capitalized on this success, eventually designing gowns for several more celebrities, as well as other outfits for important occasions.
It must be said that Emily's talent is undeniable; her work is highly artistic, and many fashion industry leaders have given her high praise.
After gaining an advantage, Emily's status rose accordingly.
She recently posted a message saying that she was going back to China.
According to media reports, Emily returned to her homeland to fulfill a long-held wish.
In the interview, Emily said that her mother is a native Chinese beauty, and her maternal grandparents and aunt who took care of her since she was a child all hope that she can return to this land after she succeeds.
Emily publicly stated that she loves her motherland very much and will make China her main base for development in the future.
Her first public appearance after returning to China was at this fashion show.
This chief designer is already quite a celebrity. She has a wide social circle, and I've heard that she has connections with nobles from a certain country and is also close to several well-known musicians.
Now she has also attached herself to many influential figures—in a sense, she herself represents a resource.
No wonder there are so many people at the fashion show.
After understanding the situation, Du Baiwei quickly divided the key points in her mind.
She concluded that the president's visit was also to curry favor with Emily.
As her personal assistant, Du Baiwei was well aware that the group was currently focused on expanding into international markets.
In addition to commercial competition, the international market also requires some personal connections.
Among Emily's publicly known friends, one happens to be a business partner that the group is currently in talks with.
Du Baiwei suddenly understood what the president meant.
She immediately made up her mind to assist the president and build a friendship with the designer.
More and more people entered the venue, including Xia Zicheng.
"Don't say anything out of line later. After the exhibition, we'll go backstage to see her. Your older brother even bought flowers. If you cause trouble or make a scene, everyone will feel uncomfortable."
Xia Zicheng's older sister was still giving her younger brother some instructions.
She knew her brother was very good at being mischievous and cynical, but he needed to know when to stop.
The fact that the Xia family was able to see Emily backstage on this occasion was a result of their efforts; they absolutely would not allow their younger brother to ruin everything that had been so carefully planned.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm just here to join in the fun. How could I possibly hold you back? I may be a bit lazy, but I'm not stupid. Can you please stop treating me like an idiot?"
Xia Zicheng looked around the entire venue with great interest.
He saw many familiar faces, all of whom were well-known figures.
It seems this fashion show was quite sophisticated.
"That's great!" Xia Zicheng couldn't help but smile. He actually saw his distant cousin and his colleague, Du Baiwei.
Xia Zicheng sent a message to Du Baiwei.
Du Baiwei was taking notes when she received Xia Zicheng's message. She looked up and met Xia Zicheng's smiling face, and instantly felt a sense of warmth.
