After more than ten days of busy work, the fashion show finally kicked off.
I was busy all day long, with almost no time to sit down and rest.
My designs are divided into several series. In addition to the horse-face skirt series, which is mainly based on traditional Chinese style, there is also the wedding series and the professional style series.
During intermission, I was busy communicating with the models about the details of the upcoming show when Xiao Yingtao whispered in my ear, "Sister Wan, several of our colleagues said they saw President Gu. He was watching the show from the VIP seats."
I was adjusting the clothes on the mannequin when I heard this. I frowned and turned to look at her: "Which Mr. Gu? Gu Yanqing?"
“Yes, Young Master Gu.” Little Cherry nodded.
My expression froze, but only for a moment. "Never mind him, if he wants to come, I can't stop him."
During the Chinese New Year, Su Shenglin came all this way and still said he wanted to keep me company.
But Gu Yanqing...
He has a lot of troubles at home, and he himself is not in good health, so why is he coming here at this time of year?
When he was in charge of the company, he would indeed come and take a look when attending fashion week shows.
But now the company has nothing to do with him anymore, and we've had a falling out, so why is he still coming to check things out?
However, since Cherry said that, I still paid a little attention.
Sure enough, Gu Yanqing sat in a suit and tie in the best VIP seats on the runway.
He had lost some weight, but his spirits were still good. It seemed that his illness was indeed under control. No wonder he didn't need a wheelchair when we last met.
Su Shenglin sat in the VIP seats on the other side of the runway, which was also the best spot to watch the show.
They were facing each other, so they must have seen each other by now.
I felt a little uneasy.
They were worried that Gu Yanqing's visit was ill-intentioned.
If he directly causes me trouble, that would be fine.
I'm afraid he'll cause trouble for Su Shenglin, or do something abnormal that will affect my show.
I had no idea what Gu Yanqing was planning. I stared at him for a while, then went back to my own business.
Just as I returned to the background, my phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was a call from Su Shenglin.
"Gu Yanqing is here, did you see him?"
"Hmm." I said softly, "Cherry just told me that I don't know when he came to Milan, and he hasn't contacted me."
"I understand." Su Shenglin noticed my worry and reassured me, "Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let him do anything reckless. Just focus on your job."
"Um."
With Su Shenglin's assurance, I did feel much more at ease.
The subsequent fashion shows went smoothly, and the industry leaders were very satisfied with the overall presentation of our brand.
After the horse-face skirt series fashion show ended, I went on stage and took photos with the models.
Li Yunwei made a gesture of success to me from below the stage, and I smiled back at her.
This is the first fashion week show I've led my team to participate in since becoming my own boss, and I have high expectations for it.
Having my best friend and my beloved partner here to support me is like adding icing on the cake.
The only downside is that her unpopular ex-husband also joined in the fun.
At the end of a busy day, I bowed to thank everyone from the organizers and then gave an interview to the media.
There's a banquet tonight, and I'm thinking of bringing Su Shenglin as my date.
Unexpectedly, just as I was about to leave the venue after the interview, Gu Yanqing, who had been silently present all day, took the initiative to come forward.
He had a half-smile on his face, and was even holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms.
If someone who doesn't know the situation saw this, they would think that he and I are a couple or husband and wife.
Su Shenglin and I both saw Gu Yanqing, and our expressions turned serious.
Gu Yanqing smiled calmly, walked closer and handed over the bouquet: "Jiang Wan, are you so surprised to see me? After all, Wan Yan is a brand we founded together, each taking one character from our names—no matter what our relationship is like, I hope the company will continue to thrive. Today's show was a great success, congratulations."
The bouquet was handed to me, but he didn't move, as if he would keep handing it to me if I didn't take it.
Su Shenglin put one arm around my waist, staring at Gu Yanqing with a serious expression. Then he nodded slightly, and Xiao Yang understood and immediately stepped forward to take the bouquet in my place.
But Gu Yanqing dodged it with a flick of his hand.
"Wanwan...you've ruined me and our Gu family so badly, and I haven't even held it against you, but you won't even accept a bouquet of flowers I sent you?"
There were quite a few acquaintances around, including some big shots I know in the industry, and journalist friends who hadn't left yet.
I realized that Gu Yanqing deliberately chose this grand occasion to annoy me, fearing that it would attract attention and be used against me. Not wanting to get entangled with him, I had no choice but to accept the bouquet.
"I've accepted the flowers, but there's no need for anything else. We did indeed co-found this brand, and the reason we're still using it isn't because I'm still hung up on you, but simply because renaming the brand is too much trouble."
I took the bouquet, then handed it to Xiao Yang, and explained to him in a righteous and stern manner.
"But what you said today made me realize that no matter how troublesome this matter is, it should be done as soon as possible. So after Fashion Week ends and I return to China, I will get started on this matter immediately."
Although I really like the "Dinner Party" brand, I have to give it up now.
Otherwise, Gu Yanqing would be delusional and think that I still have feelings for him.
Gu Yanqing smiled, turned his head away, took a slight breath, and looked at me again: "The name can be changed... but how can you erase the effort I put into the company's establishment and development?"
"If that's your way of putting it, then you have my blood in your veins, so does that mean I have to take it back too?"
