The show was in chaos before it even started. The most annoying person was not Lin Dan who was replaced, but Kong Bangchen. However, he couldn't bear to blame Zhong Yuxiu and could only try his best to deal with the mess she brought. The order in which all the clothes are displayed is decided during the rehearsal. Which model wears which dress and which one is the first to appear are all clearly recorded in a book. If you want to change one of them, then all of them need to be changed, which is very troublesome.
In order to minimize trouble, Kong Bangchen could only pick out one piece of clothing for Lin Dan to wear from the ones he did not plan to show, so that he only had to change the order of appearance.
"Can I pick out a dress by myself?" Lin Dan knew very well how to gain the greatest benefit for herself in difficult situations. She seemed to be accustomed to facing similar situations.
"Of course, I'm sorry." Kong Bangchen apologized again.
Lin Dan did not respond to him, but carefully looked through the clothes hanging on the hangers, finally took out one of them and said, "I want this one."
Kong Bangchen took a closer look and his eyebrows raised. His design style is more inclined towards the softness, restraint and elegance of the East, but the outfit in Lin Dan's hand is his practice work in an attempt to break through himself. It has a strong Gothic style, consisting of a black tube top long skirt with a pair of black pencil pants. The skirt is short in front and long in the back, which is unique.
Kong Bangchen liked this outfit very much and even thought it was his most outstanding work this season, but for the integrity of the entire series, he had to exclude it. He has just become the chief designer of M.M. Even if he wants to change his style, he has to wait until he has established a firm foothold.
Kong Bangchen couldn't help but look at Lin Dan once more when he found out that she only liked this set of clothes. Then he nodded and said, "Okay, you can wear this one." He didn't tell her that this dress would ruin the integrity of this series of clothes. In fact, secretly, he was eager for it to be exhibited. He hoped that he could bring some changes to the M.M. brand, just as his mentor could create brand miracles every time.
Lin Dan can also make clothes, and her skills are even no worse than those of big designers. So how could she not see that the style of this skirt is too strong and completely different from the clothes in the entire show? She did it on purpose. She was fooled by someone and she would never fail to resist. Even if she was not the main show, she would make herself the most special one. After changing her clothes, Kong Bangchen personally helped her adjust the size, found suitable jewelry and shoes to match them, and then sent her to the dressing room.
Ten minutes later, Lin Dan was ready, but she saw an Asian female model slowly walking towards her in the mirror. She looked at her critically and said slowly, "When I debuted, they all called me Xiaolin Dan, but we have never met in a show."
"Hello, Zhong Yuxiu." Lin Dan nodded slightly with a cold attitude.
"Hello. I heard that you were receiving training in Austin's studio some time ago? How is he?" Zhong Yuxiu chuckled.
"He's fine." Lin Dan said briefly.
"We look alike. Has he ever told you that?"
Lin Dan suddenly stood up and said calmly, "I don't think so." She was five centimeters taller than Zhong Yuxiu, and she was wearing a pair of ten-centimeter-high pointed shoes. She had a full chest, round shoulders, a slender waist, and long legs. Looking down at the other person from top to bottom, the cold aura that came over her was enough to make people feel pressured. From figure to height, from appearance to temperament, she is much better than Zhong Yuxiu, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that.
Zhong Yuxiu had to look up at her, and soon found herself suppressed. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, but this step made her look even more embarrassed. When Zhong Yuxiu's cheeks turned red and white in extreme embarrassment, Lin Dan had already left the dressing room with steady steps.
They spoke in Chinese the whole time, and the other models couldn't understand them, so naturally they didn't know what was happening between them. After a long while, Zhong Yuxiu sneered inaudibly.
…………
Twenty minutes later, M.M.'s new product launch officially began. Kong Bangchen walked to the front of the stage with the microphone and said a few opening remarks, but was surprised to find that Auston was there and sitting in the VIP seats in the first row. A superstar, Baird, who never accepted invitations from brands, was also there and was looking intently at the exit behind him. They seemed to be looking forward to the show.
Kong Bangchen felt pressured and couldn't help but remind the models a few words when he returned to the backstage. Everyone was very excited and started dancing with twisting waists, except Lin Dan who crossed his arms and waited quietly.
As soon as the music started, Zhong Yuxiu walked out and received thunderous applause from the audience. When she passed by Austin, she glanced at him quickly, but found that he did not give her any extra glances, but just stared intently at the exit.
Baird, who was sitting near the exit, turned around and whispered to his assistant: "Didn't Lin Dan announce on Instagram that she was the main show of this show? Why was she replaced by this person?" He couldn't even call out Zhong Yuxiu's name.
"Boss, please wait a moment. I'll have someone check it out." The assistant took out his cell phone and sent a few messages.
Baird originally thought that he would be able to see Lin Dan at first sight, but now he didn't know where she had gone. Her handsome face was shrouded in frost, making her look even more cold and distant. He stared at the exit without blinking, letting each model turn into a blurry silhouette passing through his deep purple pupils.
As the background music changed, the overhead lights dimmed, and Zhong Yuxiu changed into her second outfit and stepped onto the catwalk slowly. Her catwalk is very distinctive. Her pace is slower than that of ordinary models and very gentle, like a naughty kitten. Her slender arms swing up and down unconsciously, as if she is picking flowers, but it does not seem abrupt. Instead, it reveals a charming feeling, and fans nicknamed her "flower picking hands."
Wearing this tight-fitting pure white evening dress with hollow lace, she was like a charming snake, gliding in everyone's astonished gaze. M.M's catwalk was designed to be higher than the audience seats, so everyone was looking up at her with admiration on their faces.
She curled her lips and smiled, feeling contented, but suddenly she heard the sound of high heels behind her. It was Lin Dan. The audience's eyes left her and looked intently behind her. Even the bored Auston quickly sat up straight, his emerald eyes lit up in an instant.
Lin Dan appeared on the catwalk wearing a skirt-style outfit. The upper part was designed similar to a corset, with several crisp herringbone lines lifting up her plump breasts and creating a deep cleavage. Her already slender waist was tightly bound by the fabric, making it look too thin to hold. The short and flowing front hem just barely covered her belly button, revealing a pair of long legs in tight pencil pants. The long and fluffy back hem swayed behind her, meandering down and dragging on the ground.
Her catwalk steps are steady, majestic and unrestrained. Her waist sways and her long legs alternate, causing her skirt to flutter up and down with her movements like a surging wave. She walked with big strides, and her long skirt carried the blood-red rose petals at her feet into the air and scattered them towards the guests sitting on both sides.
The guests who were drenched by the rain of flowers could not help but exclaim in surprise. Some even stretched out their hands, as if they were catching the flower petals in mid-air, or as if they were trying to keep Lin Dan who was about to leave. They stared at her with fervent eyes and clapped their hands until they turned red. Many models had walked past them before, and there were many people wearing long skirts, but none of them could create such a shocking scene. Lin Dan's aura was too strong. Compared with her, Zhong Yuxiu, who was walking gently and softly in front, seemed so mediocre. The so-called flower-picking hands were really far from the real walking like the wind and blooming flowers with every step!
"Oh my God, it's like the tip of her shoe stepped directly on my heart. My heart is beating so fast because of her!" A VIP whispered to the people around him. Baird, who was sitting not far from him, couldn't help but touch his aching heart.
"I must buy this dress she is wearing! It's cool and sexy! It's very different from M.M.'s previous style. As an avid M.M. fan, I actually think this abrupt style is more beautiful and passionate! If this is the change that Kong Bangchen is about to bring to M.M., then I think he has succeeded. All the clothes here combined are not as outstanding as this one! Of course, this may also be because of the oriental model! She is the most expressive model I have ever seen, no doubt about it!" commented a big name in the fashion industry.
Baird immediately asked his assistant to place an order and make sure to win the bid for the dress.
Kong Bangchen observed the guests' reactions through the monitor, and the ambition hidden in his heart was greatly encouraged.
Lin Dan passed by like a whirlwind, and Zhong Yuxiu also completed her destination and met her head-on. Seeing the rain of roses falling behind Lin Dan, Zhong Yuxiu's elegant expression couldn't help but freeze slightly. At this moment, Auston stood up from his seat and handed his cane to Lin Dan.
Lin Dan didn't understand what it meant, but he took it anyway. After a closer look, he found that the top of the cane was inlaid with a luxurious crown. It was more like a scepter than a cane. As if to crown her, Austin told her with his actions: Even if Zhong Yuxiu is here, she can't take away even a little bit of your glory.
Zhong Yuxiu's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. She even turned her head with a big movement to look at Austin, with disbelief and accusation in her eyes. But the catwalk did not allow her to stop for a moment, she could only keep moving forward. Even if she tried to hold up all her aura, there was no way to make the petals under her feet fly for her. She didn't know how Lin Dan did it. Only after competing with her on the catwalk did she realize how arrogant she was. No one is indispensable, and no one can never be replaced, and Lin Dan is obviously not the dispensable substitute she imagined.
Lin Dan didn't care what Zhong Yuxiu would think. She walked straight past her and to the end of the catwalk. After stopping, she gently stroked the crown on top of the scepter with the tip of her thumb, smiling freely and firmly. Witnessed by countless flashes, this scene has become an eternal classic.
