Chapter 20
Eve returned to the company with the clothes. People passing by greeted her respectfully and friendly. After all, Eve was the number one agent in the company. Before she made Tian Tian famous, she had already produced an Oscar winner and a love song diva.
New stars want to get her favor, and others want to get resources from her, so Eve is more popular in the company than many stars.
She nodded in response one by one and was not arrogant, because she had been in this circle for so many years and had seen many people who were originally unknown and then became famous overnight. She also knew that it was difficult to deal with young people.
I got into the elevator, got out of the elevator after reaching the floor, walked through the rooms, then pushed open one of the doors and walked in, throwing the bag on the table.
The woman who was originally paralyzed on the sofa sat up involuntarily when she saw her and greeted her, "Sister Eve."
As he said this, he handed the milk tea in his hand to the female assistant standing beside him.
Sister Eve glanced at the milk tea and said to the female assistant, "Arrange a fitness class for her tomorrow."
The female assistant nodded hurriedly, "Got it, Sister Eve."
The other party involved, Tian Tian, covered her face and wailed, not daring to refute at all. Sister Eve always kept her word and what she arranged could not be questioned.
Eve crossed her arms and looked at the bag she had brought back. "You'll wear this outfit on your date with Young Master Zhang tonight. The reporters have already informed us. Be smart."
He paused and glanced at Tian Tian, "Since you've already hooked up with Young Master Zhang, your reputation as a Hong Kong beauty has been affected. So you should seize this opportunity and grab the resources that Young Master Zhang has leaked to make up for the loss."
Tian Tian nodded and said, "I understand, Sister Eve."
After all, it was her own decision to hook up with Young Master Zhang, and Eve was very angry about it.
The title of Jade Girl implies being pure and innocent, but now that her relationship with Zhang Ershao has been revealed by the newspapers, it has caused great damage to her image.
"Okay, as long as you understand it." Eve didn't say much.
After all, she has been in this industry for so long, and she will lay out the paths for them to become famous. It is entirely up to them to choose.
Eve thinks that she is a conscientious agent in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry. After all, this industry is so dark that you cannot imagine. Many people are forced to sign various contracts of sale and are forced to not shoot pornographic films.
Tian Tian has been in the industry for so long that she knows what’s going on in the industry, so she has great faith in Sister Eve. Her current success is inseparable from her help. “Sister Eve, I’ll listen to you.”
Eve's expression softened a lot. She hated people who made decisions without understanding the situation. "Tonight there's horse racing. I received news that Young Master Zhang and Young Master Li will have a big bet, which will attract a large number of young men and women. So the scene tonight will be very lively. As his female companion, how much attention you can attract depends on your skills."
Tian Tian straightened his back, ambition flashing in his eyes, "I know, I will seize the opportunity."
Eve looked at her with admiration. In this circle, it is not terrible to have ambition. The most terrible thing is that you have no ambition. "Mr. Zhang won the horse race before. That pretty girl took the opportunity to promote her clothes. Mr. Zhang must have remembered it. Whether you can repeat this luck tonight and make Mr. Zhang happy depends on luck. Luck is sometimes a kind of strength."
You have to know that people who become famous overnight in this circle rely on luck. Who can say that luck is useless? After all the efforts have been made, the last step may only require a little bit of luck.

In the evening, just when Song Shu was about to pick up Jiahui, Liu Ying came back with Zhuzhu and Jiahui. The three of them walked into the store. Liu Ying smiled at Song Shu and said, "I happened to be going to pick up Zhuzhu, and I thought about coming over to interview you tonight, so I brought Jiahui back with me."
Song Shu picked up a box of pineapple buns on the cashier counter and gave each of them one. "Excuse me, have some afternoon tea first."
Liu Ying took the bread with a smile, and Zhuzhu took the pineapple bun and took a big bite. Her eyes lit up, and she looked up and said softly to Song Shu: "Sister Shu, your pineapple bun is so delicious. I can eat three more."
Liu Ying pinched her daughter's chubby face with amusement, "You foodie, how rude of you! You only need one, but you want to eat three more. How can you be a guest like this?"
It makes her, as a mother, feel a little embarrassed because she has never seen a child who eats so much.
"It's okay." Song Shu smiled and said, "Zhuzhu likes to eat it, eat more, my sister bought a lot."
Zhuzhu pouted her face and nodded vigorously under her mother's helpless gaze, "Hehe, thank you Sister Shu."
Liu Ying could only say helplessly: "This child."
Song Shu comforted her, "As the old saying goes, being able to eat is a blessing. Zhuzhu eats so well that she can encourage Jiahui to eat more."
Jiahui, who was standing next to her, probably saw how happily Sister Zhuzhu was eating, so she ate a little more than usual.
Song Shu put the box of pineapple buns and stocking milk tea on the small tea table next to her and invited Liu Ying to sit on the small sofa. "Let's sit here for the interview."
Liu Ying sat down and nodded, "We can eat and talk at the same time, relax a little."
Song Shu asked Jiahui and Zhuzhu to sit aside, picked up a cup of silk stocking milk tea and took a sip, "Okay, let's treat it as a tea party."
Liu Ying also drank some milk tea, and felt that the fatigue from a day's work had disappeared. She nodded after listening to her words, "Tea party, you described it very well."
It’s true that after get off work, sitting on the sofa like this and chatting with one or two good friends makes people feel much more relaxed and comfortable than facing all kinds of trivial matters as soon as they get home.
Liu Ying relaxed for a while before remembering her purpose. She took out a notebook and a pen from her bag and said to Zhuzhu and Jiahui, "Mom is going to talk to your sister now. You two just stay over there and eat and read the picture book that the school gave you. Got it?"
Zhuzhu nodded first. She would be easy to coax as long as there was something delicious. "Mom, Jiahui and I will be good and not disturb you and your sister."
Jiahui beside her also nodded and looked at Song Shu, "I will be good."
Song Shu touched their heads and praised them, "You two are amazing."
After Song Shu and Liu Ying coaxed the two children, Liu Ying opened her notebook, holding a pen in her hand, and looked at Song Shu, "Then I'll start asking questions."
Song Shu secretly exhaled and nodded, "Okay, I'm ready."
Although she had experienced many interviews in her previous life, including more formal and larger ones than this one, this was her first time in this life, so she couldn't help feeling a sense of novelty and nervousness.
Liu Ying straightened her face and asked, "Ms. Song, what prompted you to embark on the path of fashion design?"
After hearing her question, Song Shu was stunned for a moment. She thought about why she chose the profession of designer in her previous life. Many reasons flashed through her mind, but the one that impressed her the most was.
On her seventh birthday, her mother gave her a pink princess dress. She saw the dress one day when she and her mother were shopping in the mall. But she didn't ask her mother for it at that time because her mother had just divorced and was raising her alone. Her grandmother was also sick, and the family was financially tight. The dress was not cheap, costing several hundred yuan. She didn't know how many night shifts her mother had to work to save up enough money for it.
But on her birthday, her mother bought it and gave it to her. Even though she didn't ask for it, how could her mother, who was paying attention to her all the time, not know about it?
Even when her mother was able to buy her more beautiful clothes when she grew up, that skirt remained her most profound memory.
When Song Shu wanted to speak, she suddenly remembered that it was a thing from her previous life, so she changed her story, "In the small village where I lived before, there was a tailor grandmother. She had a good tailoring skill. Even if she didn't have much material, she could always make a beautiful skirt from time to time, wash it and wear it. Even if people in her family and the village didn't agree with her and there were a lot of gossips, she still did it. She said, 'As long as I like it, that's all.'"
Song Shu paused. This was her original memory, but the old lady's attitude towards clothing and her words left a deep impression on her. "I was influenced by her. I think a piece of clothing can freely show the beauty of women. I like it, you like it, I want to wear it, you want to wear it, and you can wear it if you want. So I fell in love with designing clothes. Clothes are not just a kind of clothing, they also represent a kind of thought you want to show."
Liu Ying's hand that was writing stopped unconsciously and she looked at the woman in front of her. She was sitting on a small sofa. There was no spotlight next to her, but the light reflected by her eyes, her face, and her words impressed her.
Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and remained objective and calm as a recorder, "Then Miss Song, do you have any ideas about the clothes you design?"
Liu Ying watched her stay quiet for a few minutes before answering her softly. Her voice was soft but powerful. Even decades later when she talked about it with others, she could still proudly describe the tone and expression of that person when he spoke.
Song Shu stared at her and said softly, "The clothes were created by me and you. I created it and you own it. It is my own and you are my own too."
Liu Ying didn't know that this was just an ordinary interview for her at the beginning, but would be picked up by more professional magazines and spread, recalled and praised by more people in the future.

At night, when the neon lights come on, Hong Kong begins to become bustling and bustling.
The Happy Valley Racecourse was brightly lit as if it were daytime, and luxury sports cars drove past in the VIP channel. This was the most glorious era in Hong Kong.
Other citizens looked at the luxury cars, and one uninformed person asked, "It's just a normal horse race tonight, why are there so many young men and women?"
Others who received the news told him, "What else could it be? It's just that Young Master Li is not satisfied with Young Master Zhang's victory over him in the horse race last time, so the two of them agreed to have another race tonight. I heard that both of them spent 10 million Hong Kong dollars on the other's horse race."
Horse racing rules prohibit betting on one's own horse, but Young Master Li and Young Master Zhang bet on both sides without blinking an eye.
The one who wins the money will lose face. It will be humiliating to take the money. For young masters like them, face is much more important than money.
"How much?" people around exclaimed.
"Tsk tsk, this is what a rich man is like. He spends 10 million just for fun. He can buy two or three villas in Repulse Bay with this money."
"His father is a jewelry tycoon and a shipping tycoon. This is just a small amount of money. I can't be jealous of him."
Others spoke up, "They eat the meat and we can drink the soup. Who do you want to bet on?"
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. In the past, they would have bet on Young Master Li without blinking an eye, but since Young Master Zhang won last time, they were not so sure anymore. Who knew if Young Master Zhang would get lucky again this time?
In the aisle between the two adjacent VIP boxes on the stands here, Zhang Ershao and his group met Li Ershao and his group.
Young Master Zhang laughed so hard because he won the game last time that he deserved a beating. "Hey, Young Master Li, where are you going to cry if you lose this time?"
Young Master Li was so angry that his nose almost twisted when he heard this. "Bullshit, you just won by luck last time because you stepped on dog shit. Ha, if you want to win this time, Young Master Zhang might as well step on some more dog shit."
As soon as these words were spoken, some people couldn't help laughing out loud, but they had to hold it back under the glare of Young Master Zhang.
After hearing this, Young Master Zhang was so angry that he almost went up to fight with Young Master Li again. Fortunately, both of them were restrained. They said a few harsh words to each other and then went back to their respective private rooms.
Young Master Zhang sat on the sofa, drank a large glass of wine, and said to a manager, "How is my horse?"
The manager said respectfully: "Second Master, all the pre-match preparations are ready, please rest assured."
Young Master Zhang put the cup down. This time, the horse he sent out was still the mare that won last time. Originally, he had other horses that looked more powerful, but in the end, Young Master Zhang still chose this one.
In fact, Young Master Zhang was not as confident as he had just appeared. He couldn't tell whether he chose this horse because it had helped him win once, or because he felt that he was lucky to win.
Tian Tian sat next to him. She had been following Mr. Zhang just now. She was wearing that denim suspender skirt with two metal belts tied around her body, showing off her beautiful figure to the fullest.
The pair of brown over-the-knee Martin boots revealed a bit of her thigh and fit the smooth lines of her calves.
She had her hair in two fluffy braids, one on each shoulder. With the cowboy hat on her head, she looked innocent yet a little wild.
Besides her, there were other rich ladies or little stars who came tonight. They were all dressed up and wearing expensive dresses, looking more grand and gorgeous than Tian Tian.
But inexplicably, even though Tian Tian's outfit seemed ordinary in comparison, it looked more suitable and appropriate on the racecourse. The wildness revealed by the outfit was as unruly and unruly as the racehorses on the field, and it was very eye-catching.
Tian Tian felt the gazes coming at her from time to time, with a smile on her face. Even though her outfit was not gorgeous, the effect achieved made her extremely satisfied.
The first step was successful, and she still had to take the second step. She sat next to Zhang Ershao, poured a glass of wine, held the glass, raised the corners of her mouth, and looked into his eyes tenderly, "Tian Tian would like to wish Zhang Ershao success in the horse racing."
As he said this, he raised his head and finished the glass of red wine.
When the other people around heard her words, some frowned, while others watched the show with a smile on their faces. They all thought she was crazy. The game hadn't even started yet, but she was already flattering him without any fear of getting into trouble.
If Young Master Zhang loses later and gets angry out of shame, he will think back to what she said and think that it was because of her words that he lost. In the end, no one knows how Tian Tian died.
A little star is just a little star, not worthy of being on stage at all.
Tian Tian knew very well the consequences, but if she had made the right choice, the situation would have been completely different.
This is a huge gamble, it all depends on her choice.
When Zhang Ershao heard her words, he looked at her smiling face and her full support for him under the light. He also looked at her clothes and felt vaguely familiar with them. Then he remembered that this was the same outfit as the woman he met that night.
Looking at her like this, he seemed to be back to that day. He won with great pride and joy. All of a sudden, he was filled with confidence and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, OK, I accept your blessing. I will definitely win."
After saying that, Zhang Ershao couldn't help but stand up, "I want to welcome my victory at the finish line, baby, do you want to go with me?"
Tian Tian looked at the hand stretched out in front of her and shook it without hesitation, "Okay."
The other people in the box were dumbfounded when they saw the two people walk out. What was going on?
Those who wanted to see the excitement followed them. Zhang Ershao and Tian Tian were followed by a group of people.
Young Master Li in the next room looked at the group of people through the glass, frowned, and asked in confusion, "What is that idiot Zhang up to again?"
Someone cleverly ran out to inquire for a while and came back to tell Li Er Shao: "I heard that Zhang Er Shao brought a group of people to the finish line, saying that they were there to welcome his victory."
After hearing this, Li Ershao's face darkened. "Bullshit, humph, who knows what he is up to? I want to go and take a look too."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out. Upon hearing this, the others hurriedly followed him.
So the two groups stood at the end point clearly, one on each side, ignoring each other.
The two managers next to them looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. These young masters were really their living fathers.
The competition started soon. When each team's horses started running, perhaps because both teams were competing tonight and this competition was about their reputation, the young men and women who usually prided themselves on being dignified could not help but shout like other citizens when the horses started running. The shouts were so loud that if their parents were there, they would definitely scold them for being rude.
But in this exciting atmosphere, the pulsating adrenaline makes you cheer involuntarily. Maybe this is the charm of competition.
"Young Master Li, run!"
"Young Master Zhang, charge!"
Some of those who were shouting "Come on" were already incoherent, as if the people on the field were Zhang Ershao and Li Ershao.
It might have been one minute, five minutes, but when the white horse reached the finish line first, Zhang Ershao couldn't help but jump up and yell, "I won, I won, I won."
When the horse crossed the finish line, Tian Tian couldn't help but wave her fist and said happily, "I won."
She was really happy. She won the bet. She turned her eyes and walked to Zhang Ershao with a bright smile on her face, "Congratulations to Zhang Ershao for winning."
Zhang Ershao hugged her tightly and said, "Baby, I won. I won just like you said. You are really my lucky star."
Tian Tian smiled tenderly, "That's because you are awesome, Mr. Zhang."
Young Master Li, who was standing next to him, had a sullen look on his face and wanted to leave, but how could Young Master Zhang, who was such a jerk, miss the opportunity to mock him?
He walked over holding Tian Tian in his arms, laughing arrogantly, "Sorry, I won again. Hey, this guy has to have good luck if he wants to step on the dog shit."
Young Master Li looked unhappy. He was rebuked by the words he had just said. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's uncertain who will win next time. We only won a few times. Young Master Zhang should not be so arrogant."
After saying that, he turned around and left with a group of people.
Zhang Ershao was not angry even though he was provoked. After all, he was the winner. He shouted to his back, "I'll wait for you to win next time."
At this time, the racer came over with the white horse. Zhang Ershao walked up to it happily and touched the horse. "You are really my baby. You make me proud."
Tian Tian looked at him, her eyes moving around the white horse. Although her goal was achieved, it was not enough. She walked up to him and said, "Second Young Master, how about I ride this horse for a while to celebrate for you?"
After hearing this, the others glanced at Tian Tian. How dare this little star say that? If the horse didn't see how much Young Master Zhang treasured it, why would it let her ride it?
Little did he know that Young Master Zhang only thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, you two are my lucky stars."
Tian Tian got approval and led the horse over, first touching it soothingly with skillful techniques. She had learned horse riding when filming a movie before, and she didn't expect it to come in handy now.
At this time, the stands were full of spectators, and reporters and paparazzi who received the news surrounded it. This horse had just won the race, and everyone's eyes were looking over.
Tian Tianan saddled the horse, stepped on the saddle, and rode up. She held the reins, smiling brightly, and looked down at Zhang Ershao and said, "Wait for me to come back."
She looked like a queen with a warlike spirit. For a moment, Zhang Ershao was dumbfounded and stared at her blankly. Even though she had turned around and rode her horse, leaving only her back, she didn't come back to her senses. For the first time, Zhang Ershao, who was wandering among the flowers, felt the feeling of being hit in the heart.
When the audience saw Tian Tian riding a tall white horse on the track, they were silent for a moment, and then burst into louder cheers.
"Tian Tian, it's Tian Tian!"
“That’s amazing!”
“So cool!”
"Isn't that the Queen on Charming Horse?!"
"Tian Tian, the White Horse Queen!"
In an instant, all the paparazzi's spotlights and cameras were focused on the heroic woman on the field.
At that moment, she was the most dazzling person in the entire racecourse.
The next day, all the headlines in Hong Kong, whether it was entertainment newspapers or other regular newspapers, whether it was television stations or news stations, were all reporting "The Queen on the Charming Horse."
"Tian Tian, the White Horse Queen on the Racecourse!"
"Before there was the Queen of England, now there is the Queen of Charming Horses!"
From a Jade Girl to a Queen
"The power of women: rebellious and soaring."
The First Queen of the Racecourse
Tian Tian's name became famous in Hong Kong in a short time. Before, it was just a name for sex, but now it has become popular among the people.
Those pictures of her riding a horse occupied the pages of major newspapers and televisions, allowing people all over Hong Kong to capture her heroic figure.
A tall white horse and a spirited woman.
Before, her fame was more in the mouths of men, but now every girl and woman who reads the reports is deeply impressed by her grace. They yearn to see her running on the court and are impressed by her tall and sonorous power.
"So cool, Tian Tian, like a queen."
"She is more stylish than men. I want to be like her."
…
Several female students were sitting on the tram, reading newspapers together. They didn't know how to describe the feeling. They just felt that at that moment they vaguely thought that women could be so cool.
And with every newspaper report and TV broadcast, the outfit that Tian Tian wore at the racecourse, the outfit that matched the racehorses so well and showed off the woman's wildness, was exposed even more.
Many girls and women think that even though they may not be as majestic as Tian Tian on the racetrack, they can still be powerful wearing that outfit.
That day, Tian Tian smiled happily during a TV interview, "That suit is my armor."
