Chapter 499 Playing with Applause
In the past, it was Xu Yi who begged Su Mi to appear in magazines, and now it is Su Mi who begged Xu Yi to do the designs.
I don’t know what kind of taste her clients have, but they all appreciate Xu Yi’s designs. Xu Yi has unknowingly gained a place in Jiangcheng’s fashion circle.
On the contrary, Zhou Zhiyin, the champion of the Muse Contest, whom she had always been optimistic about, has remained silent, which is also strange.
The direction of fashion is really unpredictable.
At this moment, Sumi's assistant asked, "Editor-in-chief, how do we explain to the actress?"
"Even though you are the queen of movies, you still have to call me President Su. If the fashion industry doesn't have me to provide them with resources, what's the point of just being famous? Fame is just an empty shell and worthless!"
Sumi scolded the assistant, "You are so short-sighted and only care about the halo, you are only worthy of being an assistant."
The assistant was scolded by Sumi until her face turned red, "Take off your pig skin. You are walking around in front of me in such a tacky way that your tacky clothes are staining my eyes!"
Upon hearing this, the assistant had to go out and change clothes.
Sumi threw the magazine onto the table with force, feeling so angry that she had a headache.
He actually turned his back on her. No one in the fashion circle dared to offend her like this. Who is Song Yanming?
But thinking of Song Yanming's strength and what he held in his hand, Su Mi's shell, which had just hardened a little, softened again.
She couldn't help it, she really couldn't afford to offend Song Yanming.
Zhou Mingchen called Grandma Chen in advance and confirmed that the old lady was at home, then went to her house with the blueprint that reproduced his mother's design in his hand.
"Hello, Grandma Chen."
"Hello young man, please take a seat."
"Do you know the author of this...?"
"Didn't I sell this to you?"
Zhou Mingchen smiled and said, "Grandma, please touch this piece of paper."
Grandma Chen took a look and was stunned. "Fake?"
Then she shook her head, looking nervous, "What I sold you is not a fake."
"Of course it wasn't what you sold me, but this blueprint was included in what you sold me."
Grandma Chen was full of question marks, and Zhou Mingchen continued to explain, "So I want to ask you, who is the author of this drawing?"
"Child, the original author is your mother Qi Yu."
"I want to meet the man who can restore my mother's design."
Xu Yi promised him that she would help him find someone after the Milan competition, but he couldn't wait any longer and it was not good to keep bothering Xu Yi.
He admitted that he was particularly interested in Xu Yi at the beginning and wanted to make her his own. He also had some inappropriate thoughts when he learned that Xu Yi was married, so he particularly hated Song Yanming.
But after spending some time together, he transformed this feeling into some other kind of friendship that was hard to explain, but in short, it had nothing to do with love.
He sincerely hoped that Xu Yi could live a good life, and he didn't want Xu Yi to have a hard time because of him. Song Yanming didn't get along with him, and if he continued to bother Xu Yi, it would probably cause her a lot of trouble.
Some things are better done by yourself.
Grandma Chen looked at it again and again, pushed her glasses, and couldn't help sighing, "In all these years, this is the first time I've seen someone who can paint Master Qi Yu's works so realistically."
Zhou Mingchen thought that this was not a coincidence, and he was not an exception. Even Grandma Chen said so. He also showed this design drawing to several of his mother's friends, and without exception, all of them got it wrong.
If it weren't for the color and year of the paper, and if a piece of old paper from that time was used to restore it on top of it, even experts might not be able to identify it.
"Grandma, you think so too."
"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have really thought I sold it to you."
Zhou Mingchen smiled, "How could I blackmail you? It's not easy for you at your age."
"Scared me."
Grandma Chen frowned unhappily, "Young man, you almost scared me to death, you are so mean."
"So grandma, who drew this picture?"
"In your hands, wouldn't you know it?"
"I don't know. To be exact, I only discovered after I bought it that this drawing was sandwiched among the pile of my mother's designs that you sold me."
"It's strange." Grandma Chen was puzzled. "My grandchildren don't have such great skills. In this family, they are the only ones who can come across these designs. I occasionally open the door of my collection room and let them in to look around. They are not very interested and are very impatient. Young people are still too impetuous."
"You mean you don't really know who painted it."
"Besides me, there is only one person who has experienced this batch of works. Perhaps you need to ask her in person to get the answer."
"You mean, Xu Yi?"
Grandma Chen looked at the trumpet creepers in full bloom not far away and said, "I know a little about her ability, but I'm not sure she can reproduce Master Qi Yu's designs one-to-one. I will lend her the works for a while before selling them to you."
"I know that..."
Later the work was sold. Could it be that Xu Yi asked someone else to make a copy? Xu Yi was afraid that others would know about this, so he did not dare to tell anyone.
Thinking of this, Zhou Mingchen suddenly had an epiphany. So who could Xu Yi find to copy so well?
After returning to Jiangcheng, Zhou Mingchen failed to resolve his doubts, but instead left with a lot of questions.
Yang Kun was lying on the bed half dead, and Han Fei went to look at him.
As a lackey of Xiao Yuanzhong, he is not a good dog, and as a man, he is not a man either. Han Fei reflected on himself and thought that he was probably really angry about the matter between Xu Yi and Song Yanming, so he was willing to join forces with such a person to deal with Song Yanming and be played around by him.
He originally wanted to mock him, but now he felt it was unnecessary. If Yang Kun mocked him, he was afraid that someone would die, so he beat Yang Kun to death.
Yang Yue came to Milan and quietly cheered for Song Yuqian. He saw Song Yuqian enter the venue with his own eyes. Song Yanming held Xu Yi's hand and walked in, showing their loving couple.
Zhou Minglan was angry and refused to pay any attention to Zhou Zhiyin. Rao Mengna and Zhou Yuanshan both came to accompany her daughter to the competition, so Zhou Minglan wanted to distance herself from her even more.
The competition site was packed with people. The open-air seats were all occupied. Everyone walked onto the red carpet and walked step by step to the audition draw location.
The audition this time was conducted in the traditional form of lottery, and the participants had to queue up. Xu Yi had not expected that the Milan competition, which was advertised as being so grand, would be so chaotic.
Song Yuqian felt dizzy from the crowd.
“How is this different from going shopping at a mall during the holidays?”
"Shopping is shopping, and competition is competition."
The two of them gritted their teeth and got their own draws, completing the entire process for the Milan tournament.
Song Yanming was not a contestant and could only sit outside the venue. He looked at the mess and called Qin Tai, "Contact the organizer of the Milan tournament."
