Lin Dan put his hand into Baird's arm and felt his muscles tense instantly, as if he was not used to it. So he raised his head and smiled at him, whispering, "I'm sorry to trouble you like this. I just need to say a few words to Mr. White Wood."
"No trouble, let's go." Baird relaxed his body, and his purple eyes exuded a soft light like water.
The two of them walked in the magnificent hall wearing the same dress, like a perfect couple. Many guests cast their eyes on them and were even more impressed by Lin Dan's face, which had already astonished everyone. She was indeed very close to Mr. Baird Adams, otherwise he would never have come to the show, let alone wait at the stairs just to give her a hand.
The two walked towards White Wood in the banquet center under the attention of the crowd. Before they got close, they heard him say with full energy: "Oh my God, I have designed too many new products. Every one of them is my favorite and every one is exquisite. I can't bear to discard any of them, but a show only lasts 10 to 15 minutes, so I have to make a choice. Because of this, I have had a severe headache recently and my eyes are dazzled. The word "running out of ideas" will never happen to me. My inspiration is inexhaustible! My show is definitely the most exciting show of the year."
He kept talking big while leaning on a walking stick. Everyone was listening to him carefully, but no one dared to show the slightest sign of ridicule. In fact, there is nothing to laugh at. White Wood does have the capital to be conceited. His talent is unquestionable. He is over seventy years old, but his creativity is more vigorous than that of a young man in his early twenties. He will never run out of inspiration. Maybe when death comes, he can design a series of clothes with "death" as the theme.
This quality of his should be what Austin admires the most, right? While Lin Dan was thinking, the two of them had already entered White Wood's conversation circle, but they were not rejected by everyone. Instead, they were very popular. The influence of the Adams family in the United States cannot be underestimated. It was an honor for everyone that Baird Adams took the initiative to come over and join the conversation. Even White Wood, who always liked to look down on people, showed a humble smile and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Baird.
"Hello, Mr. Wood, let me introduce you. This is my friend Lin Dan." Baird placed his left hand on Lin Dan's lower back in an intimate gesture, but his eyes showed an apologetic look when he looked at her.
Lin Dan curled the corners of her lips at him, then turned to White Wood and nodded with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Wood, it's an honor to meet you. I just happened to overhear your conversation, and perhaps I can help you solve the problem of making choices. A 15-minute show can fully include all your proud works, but it is not cramped, sloppy, or messy, but magical and magnificent. The scene will surely shock everyone. Your creativity only needs to be combined with a little technology, and it will surely become an eternal classic."
White Wood's attention immediately shifted from Baird to the woman standing in front of him for the first time with a serious look. Only then did he realize that her figure was perfect, her temperament was very unique, and her looks combined the Eastern beauty of skin and the Western beauty of bone structure, completely breaking the inherent aesthetic boundaries of human beings.
Even the discerning White Wood had to admit that this was a beauty that could only be seen once in a century. No wonder Baird, who had never been involved in any scandal, would get close to her in public and even work for her in the world of fame and fortune that he once hated.
"My idea combines a little bit of technology. Miss Lin, can you explain it to me in detail?" White Wood asked in a low voice after dismissing the guests around him.
"Have you heard of 4D projection technology?" For some reason, Lin Dan was very familiar with imaging technology. While getting familiar with the surrounding environment, he also paid attention to consultations in this area. Naturally, he knew to what extent the world's technology had developed. If she wasn't 100% sure, she wouldn't have rashly said what she just said.
"I know this technology. It was developed recently and is a little more advanced than 3D technology." White Wood nodded.
"With this technology, all your ideas can become reality. Do you have a pen and paper? You may not understand me if I explain it verbally, so I will help you draw the location of the catwalk and projector and you will understand."
"Let's go to my lounge upstairs to discuss it in detail." Baird suggested in a gentle voice.
"Let's go." White Wood started to walk away. He was an out-and-out workaholic who would unconsciously become obsessed with work. Moreover, Lin Dan's words really hit the spot, making him want to continue listening.
Lin Dan took Baird's arm and left the banquet hall. Austin looked at her back expressionlessly, his eyes as dark as ink. He wandered around for a few circles, seeming a little anxious, but still unwilling to leave this boring place. He knew that the three of them left together probably to find a lounge to chat. Many people did that. Besides, the old guy White Wood was a homosexual, so he would not do anything to Lin Dan.
But he just couldn't let himself leave, he had to see Lin Dan return safely with his own eyes. He looked at his watch and set a time limit of half an hour for himself. If Lin Dan didn't come back after half an hour, he would have to go find her.
Before he knew it, the watch had gone half a circle. During this time, many people came to chat with Austin, but were all driven away by his lukewarm attitude. Thomas was furious when he found out that he had attended his celebration party, so he went over to mock him, but all he got was two cold eyes. It was quite uncharacteristic that he wasn't spouting his usual venom.
"I don't have time for you. I have to go." Auston put down his wine glass and said coldly.
"Is my celebration party a place where you can come and go as you please?" Thomas said with a fake smile, and the sound of grinding teeth came out of his mouth.
"I really don't have time." Auston looked at his watch with a frown.
Just at this moment, Lin Dan walked in holding White Wood's arm. The two chatted and laughed all the way. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Baird followed her closely, his eyes never leaving her profile.
"Oh, those are my two most proud students. They haven't appeared in the same public place together for many years. Come, I'll take you to say hello to them. You should be familiar with Thomas, but you haven't met Auston yet, right?" White Wood said, pointing at Auston and Thomas.
Lin Dan nodded happily.
Austin, eager to get rid of Thomas, stood still.
White Wood walked closer and pointed at Lin Dan and said proudly: "Auston, Thomas, look, this is my muse and the main star of my next show, Lin, an elf from the East. She and I will soon shock the entire fashion world!"
Old White has always been quite narcissistic, so Thomas was not interested in what he called "shocking the entire fashion circle", but he was surprised that Lin Dan could actually win the favor and recognition of Old White, which was not an easy thing to do. Everyone knows that old White doesn't need a muse to get endless inspiration, otherwise people wouldn't call him the devil. He must have made a deal with the devil to have such a unique brain.
After counting all the models he called his muse, it seemed that Lin Dan was the only one. At this moment, Thomas suddenly realized that this model who had once fallen badly would soon rise and become the darling of the entire fashion circle.
Auston confirmed, "She's your main show?"
"Yes, we have a big plan, but we can't tell anyone for the time being. Mr. Adams, will you keep it a secret for us?" Old Whitey winked at Baird.
Baird smiled and said, "Of course."
Lin Dan looked at Austin, his expression was not proud, but calm. She has long said that she has the power to get whatever she wants.
Auston stared at her with his dark green eyes. After a long time, he stretched out his hand and said sincerely, "Congratulations, you did it." No one noticed that when he lowered his eyelids, a bright light flashed in his emerald green pupils. It was joy and expectation.
After chatting for a while, they dispersed. Baird was reluctant to leave, but he could see that Lin Dan had something to say to Austin, so he could only suppress his reluctance and politely said goodbye as if he had something to do.
Lin Dan then looked at Auston and said slowly, "Mr. Dodge, if you sincerely apologize to me today and tell me that it was a great mistake for you to use and belittle me before, maybe I will be willing to accept your job offer. I know you didn't mean to insult me today, but I hope you will pay more attention to the way you speak in the future. Thank you for your appreciation, goodbye."
She tried her best not to hurt anyone or offend anyone, after all, she still had to stay in this circle. She thought Auston would remain silent, or even mock her, but he immediately lowered his head and said in a very sincere tone: "I'm sorry, I was wrong before. In fact, I told you when I came here today that you are irreplaceable and you are not anyone's shadow. I apologize for my ignorance and stupidity. I shouldn't define you without knowing you. You know, you saved me from despair, and I have to thank you."
Lin Dan's cold brows softened and he nodded, "I accept your apology, so we are even now?"
"So can you accept my invitation?" Austin asked persistently.
It turns out that he is also a workaholic. Lin Dan sighed in his heart, then said carefully: "If I can arrange my time, I will accept your invitation. I will still accept normal work."
Auston's dark eyes brightened, but his face remained cold and arrogant. He nodded, then walked away with his lips pursed. People who didn't know him would never be able to detect the joy hidden in his emerald eyes. Lin Dan stared at his back and couldn't help but shook her head and smiled. It is said that the fashion circle is a gathering place for weirdos, and this is indeed true.
