After entering the shooting base, Lei Jin did not go to find the producer, but accompanied Lin Dan to the dressing room. Lin Dan does not have a fixed shooting time. The photographer will capture the scene of her standing aside and drawing design drafts for the trainees, introduce her identity in the voice-over, and set up a styling session for her before the performance begins.
Of course, in order to cooperate with the promotion of R&R, the trainees' initial looks were very old-fashioned, and Lin Dan was the magician responsible for transforming them from caterpillars into butterflies. Seeing how beautiful Lin Dan was, the producer was a little skeptical about her professionalism at first. However, as time went on, she gradually proved herself with her actual strength - even if the trainees were already very fashionable, she could still improve the quality of their dress and temperament.
The trainees were all the best selected from major economic companies. They all had good looks. Once dressed up by Lin Dan's skillful hands, they immediately amazed the entire stage. The producer had more and more trust in Lin Dan and approached her several times, wanting to hire her as a styling consultant for a modern idol drama.
"...So I want to ask you, can I take private work?" Lin Dan told Lei Jin about this.
"Are you short of money?" Lei Jin sat on the sofa, watching the makeup artist applying makeup to her already gorgeous face, making her even more eye-catching.
"I'm very short of money." Lin Dan nodded frankly. She never knew that keeping a pet was so expensive. As soon as she walked into the pet store, she wanted to buy everything for the little boss and couldn't bear to part with any of them. She bought three cat beds alone. The first was a soft cushion filled with sponge; the second was a small semi-enclosed round cover made of bamboo; the third was a small wooden bed, and she also made several small sets of bedding; cat climbing frames, wool remover cans, toys and other things filled the utility room.
Almost half of her monthly salary was spent on the little boss. Although she got a promotion and a salary increase, her expenses also went up, and she didn't save much. She didn't understand the concept of making money to support a family before, but now she understands it clearly.
Lei Jin lowered his eyes and smiled, then nodded, "You can take private jobs, but you have to tell me the details, such as which crew, which director, which investors, etc. The entertainment industry is very complicated, and I'm afraid you'll suffer. With me protecting you, you'll always be safer."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lei." Lin Dan breathed a sigh of relief.
Lei Jin waved his hand and said nothing more, but sent a message to Fiona, asking her when she would return home. Now that Lin Dan is able to work on her own and has established enough prestige, it is time to hand over the design and development department to her for complete management. At the same time, he could certainly give her a raise. The combined salary of the chief designer and design director is more than one million yuan a year. If the sales of new products meet expectations after they are launched, she can receive a bonus of several million yuan, which will always solve her financial problems.
He was not against women working, but he felt sorry for Lin Dan because she had no private life other than work. He wanted her to live a more comfortable and free life.
While thinking, Fiona replied to the message, saying that she would return to China next week, and sent a very official letter of recommendation, pushing Lin Dan to the position of design director without Lei Jin's hint.
[…No one else can take this position except her. Believe me, she can create miracles for the company. 】Fiona wrote.
Seeing this, Lei Jin couldn't help but chuckle, his heart full of pride was simply too full to contain. He replied to the letter immediately, and when he came back to his senses, Lin Dan had already put on makeup, changed her clothes, and stood in front of him in a pretty manner. Today she was wearing an extremely sexy and hot fiery red one-shoulder tight dress and a pair of ten-centimeter-high red lace-up shoes. Her perfect body curves made people's mouths dry. Her jet-black curly hair was draped loosely on her shoulders, and it jumped and bloomed with every step she took, like a blooming flower in full swing.
Lei Jin was stunned for two seconds, then said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go, I'll go to the recording studio with you. Give the cat to me, otherwise its claws will tear your clothes." As he spoke, he was about to reach out to hug the little boss in her arms.
"Aren't you going to find the producer?" Lin Dan avoided his hand and shook her head, saying, "Little Boss is very well behaved, he won't..." Thinking of Lei Jin's tie and handkerchief that were horribly scratched, she immediately added, "He never scratches my clothes. Don't touch him casually, he doesn't like strangers."
"I think it likes me, really." Lei Jin said as he picked up the little boss and touched its back skillfully.
Seeing the exceptionally well-behaved and quiet little boss, Lin Dan couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise. She knew how defensive this little thing was. As long as she placed it on the desk, it would stare at all the designers passing by, preventing them from touching anything of hers without her consent, and would not allow anyone else to hug it.
However, all these taboos were broken by Lei Jin, which shows that he should be a good person with a cold appearance but a warm heart, because the intuition of small animals is often the most accurate, especially animals like the little boss who have become spirits. Thinking of this, Lin Dan felt relieved, and his impression of his boss improved again. She will have to take photos and draw later, so she really doesn't have the time to take care of the little boss.
The two walked into the studio side by side, and the producer was indeed there and saw Jin. When the Lord's father came, he hurried forward to greet him. Lei Jin had no choice but to say a few perfunctory words to avoid arousing Lin Dan's suspicion. While the two were talking, Lin Dan began to create. A handsome young man immediately approached her with dance steps, making various flirting moves, and even reached out to touch her fluffy and soft hair like seaweed.
Lin Dan was not a fool. After a long time, he naturally understood the other party's intention. However, because the camera was filming, he could only step back two steps and did not scold.
Lei Jin asked with a gloomy face: "Who is that?"
"That's Mr. Zhao's son. Young people are always more lively." The producer rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"Zhao Dexu's son?" Lei Jin sneered, then strode over, put his hand on Lin Dan's shoulder, and asked softly, "Is the design draft finished?" As soon as he finished speaking, his hand slid to Lin Dan's waist and hugged her in his arms, with obvious doting in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
The young man recognized Lei Jin and immediately left with a stern face and hunting eyes. The bright light was replaced by uneasiness. If he had known that Lin Dan was Lei Jin's woman, he would never have flirted with her. But why didn't he think of it earlier? Lin Dan is so beautiful and has a hot body. How could Lei Jin leave the grass at his doorstep?
Lin Dan struggled for a while, but when she found that the young man was obedient, she relaxed and leaned into Lei Jin's arms, whispering, "Thank you, Mr. Lei."
"It's my duty." Lei Jin's tone was serious, but his hand gently lifted the hair on Lin Dan's temples. This intimate action further highlighted the unusual relationship between the two.
The young man completely gave up all thoughts and pretended to dance seriously in front of the mirror for a while. When he found that Lei Jin's cold gaze had finally moved away from him, he slipped along the wall to a corner where the camera could not capture him, sat down and took a deep breath.
Seeing his cowardly look, the trainee who was close to him lowered his voice and asked, "Who is that person?"
"That man is the boss of R&R."
"Tsk, isn't he just the CEO of a clothing company that was established not long ago? You are the son of the Zhao family, why are you afraid of him?"
"You know shit! R&R is a subsidiary of the Lei Group. If you don't know the Lei Group, you must have heard of the brand LEI, right? He is the prince of the world's largest luxury goods empire. Do you think I dare to mess with him?" The young man turned pale with fear.
His friend took several gulps of ice water to calm himself, his eyes filled with horror. The people sitting around gradually fell silent and dared not discuss this matter anymore. LEI does not represent a single luxury brand, but rather a collection of several blue-blood brands, and is the world’s largest luxury goods company. The biggest contributor to LEI's successful acquisition of multiple blue-blood brands is Lei Jin. When other people's children were still eating, drinking, playing and living in chaos, he had already conquered the business world and traveled across the country. Naturally, he was not a person that ordinary dignitaries dared to offend.
Lin Dan enjoyed the feeling of working with peace of mind, so she did not take the initiative to leave Lei Jin's arms. These trainees all have good family backgrounds, so they act recklessly. It's not that she can't handle it, but she is a little annoyed, so it would be great if she could find a shield.
Lei Jin put one arm around her waist and the other hand around the little boss, and said softly, "Take your time to draw, don't be in a hurry, I'll accompany you." Not only was he not in a hurry, he even wished that time could be extended endlessly.
Lin Dan looked at him gratefully, and then immersed himself in his work again. The two were busy until after seven o'clock before they left the filming base. During this time, Lei Jin followed Lin Dan wherever she went, with his hand around her waist, showing off his status all the time. So it only took half a day for everyone in the program crew to know that Designer Lin was Mr. Lei's girlfriend. R&R had sent more than just Lin Dan, there were also more than a dozen makeup artists, costume makers, etc., so the news naturally spread back to the company, and also spread the photo of the two hugging each other.
This scandal greatly weakened Lin Dan's reputation. Those who were jealous began to spread rumors, saying that Lin Dan was promoted so quickly because she had slept with Mr. Lei, that she was a prostitute, and that she had no talent at all. There were people behind all her design drafts, and even Fiona was hired by President Lei to be her ghostwriter.
The rumor spread quickly, but due to Lei Jin's prestige, no one dared to say anything about it. Fiona's recommendation of Lin Dan as design director before returning to China seemed to further prove the truth of the rumor. Even though the people in the design department had witnessed Lin Dan's strength with their own eyes, they began to waver. In this atmosphere, "How an Idol is Made" was broadcast episode by episode, and the popularity rose sharply. The R&R brand officially entered the vision of young people, and every trainee's outfit was imitated crazily by fans, and then spread to the ordinary people like a virus.
By the last episode, those cool hoodies printed with black cat portraits became a hit on the Internet, and the cat shoes worn by the female trainees were crazily sought after by the female group. People everywhere were asking where they could buy these clothes, shoes and accessories, and some small copycat workshops also heard the news and tried to imitate them.
But before they could take any action, Double Eleven arrived, and the fame and popularity that R&R had accumulated through the show "Idol Live" was reflected in its sales in an explosive way, creating an unimaginable astronomical figure overnight.
