358. The Queen of the Runway 29
Lin Dan listened to the album more than ten times before taking a shower and going to bed. The next day, when he went to the P&R interview, he bought a portable CD machine and listened to it as he walked.
Bolsa took off one of her headphones and asked in a low voice: "Do you like Baird's songs?"
"I like it very much." Lin Dan nodded.
"Why?"
“Because they have heat.”
Bolsa didn't understand this sentence, but she didn't ask any more because their car had arrived at the P&R headquarters building. Lin Dan turned off the CD machine, stepped off the door and walked forward, but found that there were many paparazzi lurking on both sides of the road, aiming at each model entering the door to take photos.
P&R is the most important show at Milan Fashion Week, and designer White Wood is also one of the biggest designers. These two points are undoubtedly. The top 20 models on the supermodel list are all gathered here to compete. Whoever can be selected will have a stable position. If you are lucky enough to become the main show, your fame and status will be greatly improved.
Last year, a model who just debuted was selected by White Wood because of her characteristic appearance. Then she soared into the sky and was directly promoted from the 18th tier to the supermodel list. But such miracles do not happen often, because White Wood has too high vision and does not need muse, so he will never give preferential treatment to any model. In his eyes, everyone is just a prop to show off their clothes.
One after another, models entered this magnificent and artistic building. Some were unknown but came to try their luck, while others were full of glory and starry sky. When they met very well-known models, paparazzi took photos. When they met a model who was not very well-known, they wanted to take a few pictures so that there would be no materials to be released in the future.
When Lin Dan arrived at the headquarters, Zhong Yuxiu happened to come and climbed the steps first. The paparazzi took photos at her, and the sound of pressing the shutter came one after another. She was wearing a tight black short skirt, and her good figure was visible.
In fact, most of the models who came today were dressed very sexy, which was easier to show their figure. But Lin Dan did the opposite, wearing a white shirt on the upper body and a pair of high-waisted wide-leg jeans on the lower body. The white shirt was pierced into the waist of the pants, and used the extraordinary body proportions to interpret what it means to have legs below the chest.
As soon as she appeared, the paparazzi who photographed Zhong Yuxiu turned the camera and took pictures of her wildly, and the flash lights were as bright as the stars in the sky.
After finding that she had become a background board, Zhong Yuxiu's face looked very ugly. Her agent whispered: "Go in first, don't look at it. You have been working with Mr. Wood for two consecutive years. He will not refuse you, so it's hard for Lin Dan to say."
"Well, go in." Zhong Yuxiu quickly adjusted her mood. This was the show she valued the most. This time, she not only wanted to be selected, but also prepared to win the position of the main show, which was very helpful to her ranking. Seeing Lin Dan chasing her tightly behind her, she felt a huge threat.
A huge LED screen hung in the lobby on the first floor of P&R, which usually scrolls and plays some classic catwalk clips. Zhong Yuxiu glanced inadvertently, but found that last night's A·C show was being played on the screen. Lin Dan's figure appeared in the camera again and again, and it was all close-ups, and others became foils. It was obvious that this was her special, and P&R's continuous playback of this special is enough to show White Wood's love for her.
This signal made Zhong Yuxiu's heart tense.
Her agent sighed: "Auston is worthy of being the godfather of fashion. Yesterday's A·C show was hailed as the most successful underwear brand launch conference in fashion history. Nowadays, A·C's underwear is selling crazy. A·C's stock price rose to the daily limit yesterday, and it was still rising today. He created another miracle. It was Lin Dan who made it to the supermodel list with this show. I have told you a long time ago that you should not leave Auston easily..."
"Okay, stop talking, Lin Dan is here." Zhong Yuxiu spoke lightly.
The agent looked back and couldn't help but avoid a few steps. Without him, Lin Dan's aura was too strong. It was probably the first time she had come to the P&R headquarters, but there was no nervous expression on her face. Instead, she looked like a beast, with slow steps, calmness and grace.
Zhong Yuxiu stared at her, her eyes darkened.
Lin Tan nodded slightly to say hello to the two, and his attitude was very cold. She knew that this woman was hostile to her, so why did she have to be slandered with each other? The runway was very narrow, and there was only one main show, so she naturally took it as the only one.
The group entered the elevator, but no one spoke. After leaving the elevator, a staff member immediately came up with a record book: "Are you two here for the interview? Please register your personal information first. Ms. Zhong, you are here, do you need coffee? I will help you soak it and bring it to the reception room. There are five models in front of you for the interview. I will call you when it is your turn." The man recognized Zhong Yuxiu, and his attitude of doing business immediately changed to enthusiasm.
Zhong Yuxiu entered the reception room and waited, but Lin Dan was left aside. This is the difference between an old supermodel and a newcomer.
The agent leaned down on the sofa and said comfortably: "Lin Dan can't win you this time, and Mr. Wood is not so easy to be impressed. Having said that, why haven't m·m signed a spokesperson contract with you this year? Kong Bangchen has become m·m's chief designer. He said he will help you win the opportunity of global spokespersons."
The ranking of endorsements is also very important for the model. Getting a global spokesperson for a blue-blood brand can establish the model's extraordinary status. Zhong Yuxiu has only received endorsements in Asia before, so her ranking has been delayed. By the same token, Lin Dan's ability to climb so fast has a lot to do with her getting the contract for a·c global spokesperson. After Auston's full efforts, the a·c brand has returned to the ranks of aristocratic.
Thinking of this, the agent felt another trauma. If Zhong Yuxiu had left with anger, everything Lin Dan got should be hers.
Zhong Yuxiu took out a cigarette and lit it, and said slowly: "He seems to be hesitating recently because he wants to change the design style for m·m. My style is exactly in line with the previous style of m·m. If he wants to change it, I will be the first person to be replaced. No man is reliable."
The agent was silent for a long time and said, "Then you communicate with him more, it is not that easy to transform a brand. He is not Auston."
Zhong Yuxiu glanced at him with a deep look, then looked at Lin Dan outside the glass door, but suddenly sneered: "Cao Cao Cao is here, Auston is here."
The agent quickly stood up with a nervous expression.
Zhong Yuxiu stared at the two people outside, her face becoming increasingly ugly. Auston was also wearing a white shirt today, which was similar to the one on Lin Dan. He was wearing a pair of crisp suit pants on the lower body, with wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and his perfect figure with inverted triangles made him look exceptional.
He slowly walked to Lin Dan, first tidying up her collar, then putting her shoulder and saying a few words. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were very deep, and he didn't even see anyone other than Lin Dan. Lin Dan raised his wrist and pointed at his watch, as if discussing itinerary and other things. While listening carefully, he held her wrist, gently stroked the dial, then took it off, took out a black velvet box from his pocket and handed it over.
Lin Dan opened the box, shook her head, and returned it back. The corners of his mouth were raised, and he took out the watch from the box, put it on her wrist in a tough posture, and pressed her index finger against her lips.
Lin Dan was stunned for a while, but he had already retracted his fingertips, with no expression on his face, as if he was very calm. However, from Zhong Yuxiu's perspective, he could find that he was quietly hiding the hand behind him, then inserted it into his pants pocket, pinching it into a fist, making him feel restless. Lin Dan wanted to untie the watch, so he held her wrist firmly and wrapped the watch in his palm.
Lin Dantui couldn't refuse, so he could only accept it, and said something praise on the corner of his lips. It was not until this time that his deep eyes were filled with smiles. When facing Lin Dan, his eyes were gentle and doting, and this kind of emotion had never been seen before.
Zhong Yuxiu knew that he had been obsessed with him, but even at the most fanatical moments, his eyes were only obsessed with and appreciation of artworks, and there was no love at all. She wanted to look away, but she stared at the two of them as if she was self-abuse.
The agent pondered: "Why do I think Mr. Dodge's attitude towards Lin Dan is very strange? He seems to...dolence her?" She thought for a long time before she found a suitable adjective.
While talking, White Wood came out of an office and greeted Auston.
The agent immediately urged: "Mr. Wood is here, let's go out quickly! Auston must have come today to help Lin Tan. He and Mr. Wood are masters and apprentices. If he speaks, Lin Tan will definitely be shortlisted. What's wrong? Didn't Auston never care about these things?"
Zhong Yuxiu gritted her teeth and accelerated her pace. As soon as Auston arrived, her sense of superiority, which was completely dispelled.
As soon as the two opened the door, they saw White Wood hugging Lin Dan warmly, and shouted: "Dear, I've seen your show yesterday. It's so exciting. For this reason, I modified my design overnight. You must try it on. By the way, we have to discuss the lighting issue. The day after tomorrow will be our big show. I hope there will be no problems at that time."
"There won't be a problem, don't worry, I also redesigned the lighting effect last night. This is the drawing, you can take a look." The two workaholics said and walked towards the conference room, completely forgot that there were still people around.
Auston looked helpless, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Zhong Yuxiu chased after him and said respectfully: "Hello, Teacher Wood, I'll be in the interview."
"Zhong, are you here? Go in, my assistant will interview you." White Wood waved his hand dismissively.
Auston walked beside Lin Dan and found a few hairs on her wet lips, so he gently took them off. Lin Dan handed him a tissue and asked him to wipe off the lipstick he had removed. He smiled and took it, but he just held it and did not clean it up. He deliberately left her traces. What does this mean?
Zhong Yuxiu was in a panic, but she heard White Wood say proudly: "This time you don't have to compete for the main show. Look, this is the main show I have already decided. When she has not shined on the A·C runway, I knew she would definitely make a difference. Do you know that our show will be countless times more exciting than Auston's show, and we will create history and create miracles!"
Auston was belittled, but there was no anger on his face, but instead seemed very happy.
Chapter completed!
