Your Most Faithful Companion

When Ji Mingshu finished biting the remaining half of the ice cream, his mouth bulged into a small puffer fish, shivering with the cold, looking at the phone, and hurried back to the apartment.

Cen Sen was sitting in the car, his eyes moved slowly following her. It wasn't until she entered the building that she slightly retracted her gaze and got out of the car.

He leaned against the car and looked up at a small window upstairs again lit up with a light halo. He suddenly remembered Ji Mingshu sitting on the stone bench just now, eating oden, his eyes darkened unconsciously.

His canary seemed to open the cage quietly and probe his head at the door.

-

Ji Mingshu had long forgotten the strange feeling of that moment, and returned to the apartment. She rubbed her hands and touched her arms, shivering uncontrollably.

But she was in good spirits now, put on a coat and sat back in front of the computer, and secretly put on Gu Kaiyang's black-framed glasses, and soon went into work.

Chris Chou was born in a small southern city. His father is a painter and his mother is a very famous Shanghai lady at the end of the last century. The two are married, and they are considered to be married to a woman. However, the middle-aged man became famous and his value skyrocketed. His paintings sold well both at home and abroad. In the Sotheby's Autumn Auctions in the 1990s, his painting "Drunk and Gold" was sold for nearly 10 million yuan.

So when ChrisChou was in his early ten years, his father immigrated to LA with his family for long-term development.

Today, their family's Chinese community in North America has indeed become a well-known existence.

ChrisChou himself is also very good, is considered the most shining star in the fashion circle in recent years.

He is a typical academic designer. He graduated from Parsons. During his time at school, he interned for luxury brands under the LVMH Group and the most authoritative fashion magazine in the United States. After graduation, he joined the LVMH Group to work, and later resigned and created ChirsChou with the same name. The brand started its show in New York Fashion Week in the second year, and the four major fashion weeks in the follow-up shows have been well received and sales have risen steadily.

The color block T-shirt he designed detonated FB and INS in the past two years. There are almost one fashion blogger at home and abroad. In the annual selection of time miscellaneous items, his color block T was basically rated as the most popular street auction item. Ji Mingshu also directly won the entire series at that time.

This time he returned to China to start the show because of the strong invitation of the Service Design Association and other institutions and sponsorship and support. And he himself believes that this season's design works need to be presented in the soil that he lived in when he was a child, in order to achieve the most appropriate effect.

Before reading the relevant information carefully, Ji Mingshu was very surprised and very confused about the location of Jun Yihuazhang's big show. When she went upstairs, she even thought of "Is it possible that Cen Sen made arrangements?"

After all, there are more than one or two places suitable for the show in the Imperial City, so why bother to arrange it in a very expensive hotel like Jun Yihua Zhang.

After reading the information, she dispelled a lot of doubts. The relevant sponsors are rich in wealth, and their senior officials have inextricably linked with Jingjian. In line with the principle of fertility and water will not flow to outsiders, it is reasonable to choose Jun Yihuazhang.

Moreover, the Huazhang Hotel on Huating Road has four-sided buildings, and the glass pavilion and lawn open space in the middle are used for exhibitions. From the perspective of the area of ​​the venue and the arrangement of the showroom, they are very suitable.

But at Jun Yi...

Then, isn't she a little bit asking for it? Cen Sen shouldn't mistake her for asking for peace.

Ji Mingshu held his cheeks in front of the computer and thought for a while, and finally returned a message to ChrisChou.

No way, the opportunity is too rare, she really can't give up.

-

ChrisChou had worked with Ji Mingshu before and was very confident in her. She replied OK here, and he didn't let the trial draft be finalized directly. The two chatted online for a while, and then they made an appointment to meet in detail.

Before the big show was released, the designer's work was kept in a highly confidential state, and the designer could only negotiate with her personally.

And after showing her the relevant design drafts and design concepts, people have to bring things back.

The meeting was directly at Jun Yihuazhang, and Ji Mingshu could not refute it, because ChrisChou was staying directly at Huazhang when he returned to China this time. After talking, they had to go to see the live scene. It was reasonable and reasonable. This meeting place was very suitable.

Before leaving, Ji Mingshu changed several sets of clothes nervously. After arriving at the hotel's executive lounge, she was also a little restless, for fear that Cen Sen would suddenly emerge from a certain corner, and the two of them had their eyes silent for a long time and directly penetrated the center of the earth.

But it turns out that she thinks too much.

The meeting lasted from two in the afternoon to six in the afternoon. ChrisChou also enthusiastically left her at the hotel for dinner, but Cen Sen never saw anyone.

Also, there are so many hotels under Junyi, and his office is in the headquarters building on weekdays. How could he appear here by coincidence.

On the way back, Ji Mingshu couldn't say whether it was loss or peace of mind for a while, and she was not in the mood to touch up makeup after most of the lipstick was off.

-

For a whole week after this, Ji Mingshu was tossing about her show plan in the apartment, and she was very selfless and doing business.

Gu Kaiyang and his magazine are very concerned about ChrisChou’s big show, but Ji Mingshu was stunned that he didn’t reveal a little bit of relevant news to her, the deputy editor. He held the computer every day like an anti-thief, and he said that he insisted on professional ethics. .

Gu Kaiyang was so angry that she pinched her neck and shook her wildly, and said that she would clean up her unscrupulous woman and go out.

Ji Mingshu is not ashamed, because after she took this design, there is! money! Up!

The level of domestic clothing design is still in a long way to be explored, especially for high-end clothing. It is not easy for Chinese designers to get Feisheng International. It is very difficult for Chinese designers to return to China to start a show, such as ChrisChou. I am very supportive.

ChirsChou's show budget is as high as eight digits, which is not the beginning of one or two small numbers.

Compared with the regular external sales after the show, it can be said that the cost of opening the show is not considered.

To make an eight-figure show, Ji Mingshu, a co-designer, is naturally paid very well.

It's just that this generous reward is not easy to earn.

Just the design plan, Ji Mingshu and ChrisChou spent a whole week without sleep.

After the plan is set and enters the stage of actual scene layout, Ji Mingshu will also go to the scene to personally supervise.

-

"No, a bit to the left, a bit to the left... Enough is enough!"

The imperial capital has entered early winter, and the wind outside is chilly, and it feels like a cold knife cutting meat.

Although Ji Mingshu is not a female celebrity, she has already cultivated a female celebrity with the same style of demeanor without temperature. At near zero temperature, she also wore a thin black drop-shoulder sweater with a thin camel windbreaker jacket. The slender white fingers were exposed, and the bones of the fingers were red with cold.

This is the fourth day in a row that she has been to the Huazhang Hotel on Huating Road to command the T stage set.

Although ChirsChou is Chinese, his style has always been very European and American. This time he rarely added cheongsam and Su embroidery elements to his works. One is to cater to the huge Chinese market commercially, and the other is to Give his mother a birthday surprise.

His mother has lived in Shanghai for many years and loved all kinds of cheongsam when she was young. His early spring works this season can also be said to be a gift to his mother.

Ji Mingshu learned of his parents' love for many years, and before deciding on the theme of the show, he deliberately sought out his father's paintings to ponder.

The final theme of "Paper Drunk and Gold Fan" is also the most famous oil painting of the same name as his father.

The main show ground, Ji Mingshu, was designed as a stranded ship in the old Shanghai period. The original waterside piano ladder in the hotel was preserved, with a little processing, staggered interaction, extending all the way to the top of the ship, and became a model for the show. The main runway.

In addition, in order to create an immersive sensory experience for the audience, Ji Mingshu also collaborated with ChirsChou to design an immersive video art installation with the same name as the theme of the show, creating a completely enclosed visual space in Junyi Outdoors.

Last season, Mingshu also worked **** lighting. In order to achieve the gorgeous effect in the design draft and highlight the theme of the show, a series of lighting decorations were specially ordered from a foreign lighting designer and shipped back to China by air. These lighting sets alone cost a lot of money. Millions of funds.

At this moment, Ji Mingshu is also directing the lighting arrangements. These things are extremely expensive, and there is no room for any slippage. She also does not allow the things that have been bought for a large price to be placed in its proper place.

"A1 is changed to A4, C1 is wrong, it is not accurate at all, please reinstall it." She stood in the cold wind and commanded. Seeing that the workers hadn't pretended for a while, she had to personally come forward, "Here, yes, Yes, a little bit on the left."

Seeing that the position was right, she looked back two steps.

Before she nodded in satisfaction, the worker suddenly expressed horror, "Be careful--!"

Before he finished his words, the place where Ji Mingshu was standing made the sound of a crystal lamp falling to the ground and cracking. After a bang, there were dense cracks.

The scene immediately issued a series of exclamations!

Ji Mingshu's head was dumbfounded for a moment, and before he knew what was happening, he was pulled hard.

She wore a ten-centimeter narrow stiletto heel, and was so twitched that an intense blackening pain came from her ankle almost simultaneously.

Soon there was another loud crack! But the next second, her ears were covered by someone, and her head was also covered by someone and hid in her arms.

Compared with the loud noise, what she heard more clearly was the heartbeat in her chest.

咚, 咚, 咚.

Powerful and familiar.

In the freezing wind of early winter, she smelled a reassuring smell of fir.

Her nose was red and red from the cold, but her eyes were unblinking, as if she was stunned and greedy.

Cen Sen's bodyguards rushed up immediately, and the executives who accompanied Cen Sen on the tour also urgently called the staff to deal with the scene, and stepped forward to greet him.

"Cen, are you okay?"

"Ouch, President Cen, your hands are bleeding!"

"Hurry up, call an ambulance!"

Someone whispered: "What kind of ambulance is it?"

After a long while, Cen Sen answered flatly, "I'm fine."

He still hugged Ji Mingshu tightly without raising his eyes.

Zhou Jiaheng stood below, calming his heartbeat, and asking all the executives to leave the scene in a calm and calm manner.

When everyone was gone, Ji Mingshu only recovered a little.

She pushed gently, and Cen Sen relaxed.

He wore a black woolen coat today, lining his skin into a nearly transparent white, and his hands hung down. The blood mixed with broken glass **** fell on the deliberately distressed ship deck, looking shocking.

Ji Mingshu was a little at a loss. After a while, he remembered to untie the decorative silk scarf from the bag and hand it to him.

He didn't answer, but put his hand in front of her, his eyes flat.

She was taken aback for a while, hesitantly put the silk scarf over his wound, and then hesitantly tied the knot.

——The two finally ushered in the long-awaited scene of Ji Mingshu's long-awaited awkwardness with relatively long silence.

She bit her scalp and met Cen Sen's gaze. For a long time, she suddenly said, "My silk scarf is so expensive."

"That... the lamp is so expensive, what should I do if it breaks."

After speaking, Ji Mingshu closed his eyes resignedly, and wanted to go back to sew his mouth ten seconds ago.

But at the moment she closed her eyes, a light male voice suddenly rang in front of her, "I will pay you."
