Sometimes, all you need to enter a certain circle is a ticket.
On the career path, Tang Yili is moving upwards, and she can feel the different scenery she sees every step of the way.
Although she had never cared about these scenery before, what she got in the past year was all obtained by her own efforts, so the feeling was very different, just like the southern slope and northern slope of the Himalayas, with cliffs on one side.
The cliff is steep and steep, and you can drive to the mountainside on one side. Climbing to the top is just a matter of time.
The experience of the process is completely different.
When Tang Yili followed Howard into the reception area, many colleagues were inquiring about who it was. When someone did some research and said it was that so-and-so, everyone's reaction was invariably -
"Oh, that Tang!"
"Mongolian coat designer."
"The new design director of the P family?"
The last title was quite surprising to Tang Yili. She had never heard that Howard was going to officially hire her, but everyone in the circle seemed to have spread the word.
In the meantime, Howard was talking to someone about something, and Fabian came over to explain to Tang Yili.
"It's true!" He blinked, "I'm retiring at the end of this year. Howard is optimistic about you and wants you to take over my position. If you and your team can still achieve the results of the summer model this autumn and winter,
You can take this seat."
"End of the year?" Tang Yili was a little surprised, things always happen so unluckily.
By the end of the year, she was about to graduate. She originally planned to return to China after graduation. Unexpectedly, her life would have another fork in the road for her to choose.
Tang Yili was a little confused for a moment and didn't notice when Fabian was called away by his friends.
She went to the champagne tower alone, looking for a drink, but was suddenly stopped by a familiar Chinese voice.
Tang Yili leaned forward and dragged the hem of her champagne-colored skirt, turned around and looked up, and saw a face that was always affectionate and gentle.
"Qin Sheng."
More surprise than surprise.
Friends from a foreign country always feel a sense of intimacy.
Tang Yili and Qin Sheng walked towards each other at the same time.
Qin Sheng smiled: "Although I heard that you came to France, I didn't expect to meet you here."
They haven't seen each other for two years, and neither of them has deliberately disturbed the other. What they know about the current situation is based on their relationship as peers.
Some feelings have become the past tense and cannot be retrieved, and there is no need to regain their depth.
Goodbye everyone, we are still friends.
Qin Sheng: "Half a year ago, after I saw the promotion of Mongolian coats, I always wanted to find an opportunity to congratulate you. I was just afraid of disturbing you, but I didn't expect to meet you."
"Are you currently doing joint design for the P family?"
"Not really," Tang Yili said modestly, "I'm just a firefighter. Their previous spring and summer models had some problems, so I'm here to finish them off."
"Which series is it?"
Tang Yili: "Midsummer in the East."
Qin Sheng nodded and said nothing.
Tang Yili also wanted to ask how JQ's business had recovered over the years. Suddenly, a young woman came up from behind Qin Sheng. She was wearing an ash-pink skirt and greeted Tang Yili with a smile.
"Mr. Li, do you still remember me?"
The woman was wearing a lot of makeup, or in other words, she had almost no makeup before, and her makeup was all over the place. It took Tang Yili a long time to recognize her before he called her by name.
"Qi Huanhuan?"
Qi Huanhuan smiled and nodded, then held Qin Sheng's arm in a very intimate manner.
She looked at Qin Sheng, her eyes were full of energy, and Qin Sheng smiled gently back.
Tang Yili felt unexpectedly happy and said, "Are you together?"
Qin Sheng said nothing, Qi Huanhuan smiled even sweeter, "We are getting married by the end of the year."
"Then I really have to congratulate you."
Tang Yili was happy for Qin Sheng from the bottom of his heart, "It's not in vain to record the variety show. Qin Sheng and I were unhappy because we were trying to steal you as an outstanding student."
Look, Qin Sheng was going to marry someone in the end, and Tang Yili didn't take it away from her, so she was convinced.
Qi Huanhuan also thanked the program, "If it weren't for it, Teacher Qin and I would not be together."
Tang Yili looked at Qin Sheng with a smile.
Qin Sheng curled his lips and asked Tang Yili: "I heard that you gave birth to a baby? So...you and Xun Lang should be very happy..."
The smile on Qi Huanhuan's face was a little stiff.
Tang Yili showed a sweet smile. Whenever anyone mentioned Xun Shao'ang, she was overflowing with motherly love and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. As for the second half of the sentence, about her and Xun Lang, Tang Yili didn't pay attention at all.
"The baby will be one and a half years old soon. The last time we had a video call, he could already speak a lot of words..." Tang Yili almost showed the photo to others, but then she realized that she seemed a bit too sentimental and returned to a serious topic.
"As for Xun Lang and I," she shrugged and smiled, "it's not bad, it's not bad. He..." still needs to be sorted out.
However, to the ears of outsiders, these hesitant words seem to have lingering meaning.
Qin Sheng lowered his head and chuckled. Only he knew the bitter meaning.
At the cocktail party, colleagues came and went, and Qin Sheng was also a very important person. After chatting here for a while, someone came over to say hello. He left a message, talked later, and went away to socialize.
Only Qi Huanhuan and Tang Yili were left in place.
The two are considered alumni of ESMOD. Tang Yili smiled and said: "You don't know how much I envied you for having read ESMOD. It was you who planted a seed in my heart. From that time on, I began to yearn for Paris."
Qi Huanhuan thought this was a polite remark and smiled lightly, "You really don't have to envy me. My only advantage may be that I graduated from a prestigious school, but this is easily available to you. Look, if you want to come, you can't come here."
.”
Tang Yili's joy at meeting his old friend was extinguished by Qi Huanhuan's words.
She didn't know where Qi Huanhuan's unfriendliness came from. She didn't seem to want to stand on the land of France.
She looked at Qi Huanhuan quietly.
Qi Huanhuan looked in another direction, her gaze focused on Qin Sheng's back.
"On the contrary, I envy you for having something that others can't get no matter how hard they try."
What was it that Qi Huanhuan couldn't get despite all his efforts? Before Tang Yili could decide whether to ask, he saw someone not far away spilling wine on Qin Sheng's suit.
Qi Huanhuan's reaction was louder than Qin Sheng's. He didn't even have time to say sorry, so he hurried over, grabbed the napkin from the perpetrator's hand, and wiped Qin Sheng's hand carefully.
This is very embarrassing.
There was a strange silence around, and Qin Sheng could only be heard saying softly, It's okay, there's no need to be like this...
Tang Yili looked on in shock.
"That's her." Howard came back from nowhere and stood next to Tang Yili, "Qi Huanhuan, she is the designer who terminated the contract."
