Chapter 344

However, Chen Shiya has always been very good at pretending in front of outsiders. Facing the praise of these people, she pinched her throat and pretended to be humble: "You are all too exaggerated. My design still has many immature places. This time, maybe it's just that the style is more in line with Qiao Yan's aesthetics."

"Chen Jingli, you are too low-key. Everyone has seen the works you designed since you entered the company. The eighteen-line small artists in the company have heat because of the dresses you designed, and they have been promoted to third or fourth-line artists. Every time they attend activities, they will be on the hot search. Our Minglang Media was just a small company, and having so much heat is all your credit."

"Now the small stars in our company are proud to be able to wear the dresses you designed, and even other artists in the circle want to cooperate with Chen Jingli. I believe that after a period of time, Chen Jingli, your works will definitely become the benchmark of the fashion industry."

Chen Shiya gladly accepted these flattery, whether sincere or fake. After her vanity was satisfied, she left the company and went home to prepare for the cocktail party in the evening.

At five o'clock in the evening, Xu Rixin's car stopped downstairs in Chen Shiya's apartment.

Chen Shiya specially chose a water-blue fishtail dress today, matched with pearl jewelry as decoration, and her hair was also specially styled, blown into sexy and unrestrained big waves.

You know, this is not an ordinary cocktail party. In addition to celebrity designers, the guests present are big bosses of various companies. She and Xu Rixin have the opportunity to participate, thanks to the award shortlisted before, so this time Chen Shiya deliberately spent her mind on styling.

As a designer, if your own styling cannot attract attention, how can you have a place in the fashion circle?

Xu Rixin waited a bit impatiently. Seeing her walk out of the apartment, he honked the horn and urged: "Get in the car quickly, don't be late."

"Don't worry, my apartment is very close to the banquet where the cocktail party is held. If it's not blocked, twenty minutes is enough."

After Chen Shiya sat in the passenger seat, she opened the small mirror in front of her and looked at it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem with her makeup, she was satisfied and took her mobile phone to take a selfie and uploaded it to Weibo.

Designer Chen Shiya: Are you looking forward to my styling tonight?

After posting on Weibo, fans soon left messages, blowing all kinds of rainbow farts.

Chen Shiya saw those remarks and was a bit floating, and said excitedly to Xu Rixin: "Brother Rixin, I said it long ago, without that stupid woman Yan Qingxue, we can still be shortlisted for the Fashion Awards."

"She Yan Qingxue just knows how to draw some drawings, what's so great? Her popular elements are all common styles used by other designers, and there is nothing special at all. Even so, she is still arrogant all day, thinking that our company can't do without her, it's really ridiculous!"

Xu Rixin still had a cold face, but he didn't give her a face like he did the past two days.

"Then can you handle the dress when I attend the Elite Launch Conference later? This time absolutely cannot go wrong again."

Xu Rixin has always been a celebrity new noble person in the entertainment industry. He is trying hard to squeeze into the upper-class circle, but he made a joke in the previous two public occasions because of the clothing styling problem.

He was even labeled "nouveau riche" and "earthy" by black fans, which made Xu Rixin very angry and kept Chen Shiya cold for a long time.

Chen Shiya hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then a flash of calculation flashed in her eyes.

She said confidently: "Brother Rixin, don't worry. Aren't we going to attend the internal cocktail party of the Fashion Association today? The special consultant Annie who just took office in their association will definitely attend. We can discuss with her and let her design a dress for you."

"You said it easily." Xu Rixin rolled his eyes after hearing this: "Annie is now a red man in the fashion industry, and she is also a designer under Tian Feng Entertainment. Now she has been promoted to a special consultant of the Fashion Association. How can a designer of this level be invited by a small company like ours."

"Don't say such discouraging words. Everything is done by people. Today, all the celebrities in the fashion industry are present. Let's go and explore the tone first, find out what this Teacher Annie likes, and then cater to her."

"Although our Minglang Media is not a big company in the entertainment industry, it has recently emerged and has a great development prospect. I believe she will not give no face."

Chen Shiya was silently calculating how to invite Annie to come out personally. After all, Xu Rixin's styling absolutely cannot go wrong later, otherwise her position as design department manager might not be guaranteed.

Just when the two were driving to the cocktail party, the fashion circle red man "Annie" in their mouth also set off from the apartment and took the subway to the cocktail party.

Originally, Yan Qingxue wanted to drive, but considering that she might drink at the cocktail party, it would be troublesome to find a designated driver when she came back. Plus, there was a subway station near the apartment, and traveling was even more convenient than driving. So after she went home and changed her clothes, she took a dinner bag and went out.

It's just that her luck today seems to be not very good. Just after getting out of the subway station, before she could use her mobile phone navigation to check the location of the banquet hotel, an old man riding a tricycle rushed out from the side.

Fortunately, Yan Qingxue reacted quickly and dodged to the side in time, but she was still scratched on her arm by the tricycle, and she fell directly to the ground due to inertia.

With a "crack", the sleeve of Yan Qingxue's dress was torn with a long opening, and at the same time, the waste garbage that fell from the tricycle hit her directly.

Yan Qingxue sat on the ground for a full half minute before she came back to her senses, gritting her teeth and climbing up while supporting the ground.

Her ankles were a bit swollen, but she could still walk. However, the dress she specially changed into today was completely ruined. In addition to the obvious opening on the left sleeve, her whole body was also stained with waste, and it had a clear moldy smell.

"Sorry, sorry."

Seeing Yan Qingxue fall, the old man riding the tricycle hurriedly got out of the car to check.

"Girl, are you okay? I'll send you to the clinic next door to see."

Yan Qingxue was about to scold while covering her painful arm, but seeing the old man's apologetic and anxious look, she swallowed the dirty words that were about to be scolded.

"It's okay."

Seeing the old man in rags, looking like he was relying on recycling waste to survive, she didn't want to pursue him.

What's more, she just ruined a dress, plus a sprained ankle. She could buy a bottle of safflower oil at the pharmacy on the way back, so she didn't have to be aggressive and embarrass others.

So she reluctantly smiled at the old man in front of her and said: "I'm fine, no need to go to the hospital. Grandpa, you ride slower next time. It's easy to hit people, not to mention that you are not safe yourself."

"Sigh, I'm in a hurry to go to school to pick up my grandson from school."

Seeing that Yan Qingxue didn't intend to pursue, the old man smiled gratefully at her.

"Sigh, school has been out for more than an hour. If I don't go over again, my grandson will be in a hurry."

"Then you go quickly, I'm really fine."

Yan Qingxue waved at the old man and turned to walk toward the convenience store on the other side of the road.

At the same time, Xu Rixin and Chen Shiya had already driven to the hotel where the cocktail party was held. After showing the invitation at the entrance of the banquet hall, Chen Shiya held Xu Rixin's hand gracefully, and the two walked into the venue with their heads held high.

At this time, most of the guests had arrived at the venue. Everywhere were handsome men and beautiful women, wealthy celebrities. In addition to designers in the fashion circle, there were also some big stars with great popularity in the entertainment industry, as well as bosses of fashion brand companies.

These people all attended today's internal cocktail party for the sake of Qiao Yan, the president of the Fashion Association. Usually, they are people you can't see even if you want to.

Of course, in addition to these big guys, there are also small transparents like Xu Rixin and Chen Shiya who luckily got the invitation.

In order to support new designers, Qiao Yan specially sent dozens of invitations to major universities, inviting excellent students from the design department to attend this gathering.

At this time, the guests in the banquet hall gathered in twos and threes to toast and talk, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Xu Rixin and Chen Shiya had some fame in the fashion circle, so as soon as they came in, many people took the initiative to greet them.

"Designer Chen, I have seen your work shortlisted for the Fashion Awards this time. It is very spiritual. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"Miss Chen, I appreciate your creative style very much. Although it is a pity that you didn't win the award this time, I believe your design will be recognized by the mainstream fashion industry sooner or later."
