Rebirth of the rich and powerful

Jiang Yun listened to the violent storm spouted by the old man in his ears, and played with the small metal ornament that was about to be eliminated in his hand.

This is a palm-sized crystal brooch with rococo exquisiteness and complexity. The silver swan head with a dangling neck wears a shining crown, and its wings are also inlaid with fine crystals. When it moves slightly, the stars shine brightly.The swan is held up by a pool of emerald green lake water, which is also made of dyed crystals—this is the culprit of discoloration—the lake water is also dotted with tiny crystals, and every angle has been carefully designed to look sparkling .

The material of this brooch is not expensive, but the shape looks full of luxury. Those very cheap crystals have been precisely polished and inlaid, almost making the effect of diamonds and emeralds-if you don't look carefully.

No wonder the marketing department is very confident about the sales of this product.

But Jiang Yun is a bit strange.

The old man never liked to use these cheap substitutes. For him, the more expensive the raw materials, the better.

"This brooch doesn't look like anything special." Jiang Yun said, "It's just some cheap crystals."

"The special thing is the crystal!" The old man yelled, "This looks like an expensive brooch studded with diamonds, but it is actually made of crystal. What can you think of?"

Jiang Yun tilted his head: "Cheat?"

"Your statement is too unartistic!" The old man waved his hand in disgust, "It should be said that it is a pretentious disguise in modern civilization, a vain reminiscence amid impetuous footsteps!"

...these asshole artists.

Jiang Yun played with the brooch: "So, if you want to find a substitute, you need a brooch that is cheap but looks expensive?"

This matter is not easy to handle, but here, in Milan, where there are many luxury goods, who knows if there will be another artist with a twitching brain, who will also come up with such a thing?

"No," the old man replied disdainfully, "it must be suitable enough, beautiful, delicate, and shining."

The old man's request was indeed not simple.

"With your prestige and seniority, it is not impossible to borrow royal exhibits from the museum," Jiang Yun asked strangely, "...Of course, if you don't consider those artistic pursuits."

The little assistant secretly smiled again.

"Shut up!" The old man turned around and reprimanded him.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yun was surprised.

Although Milan is not as famous as Florence, it has also been a city of art since ancient times, not to mention public museums with stricter management, various private museums, and many families with a long history and rich treasures. Unfortunately, the old man was young When he became famous, he once greatly offended this group of people.

That was many years ago. At that time, the old man's style, which now looks somewhat retro and complicated, was considered too trendy and avant-garde by the people at the time. Those exaggerated lines and overlapping embellishments were criticized by some Criticized by critics as nondescript, although it received a lot of praise at that time, there were also many criticisms.

Then, the old man did something that he probably regretted for decades—of course, he wouldn't admit it to himself.

The old man opened fire on the headlines of the newspapers at the time, calling all those who supported the old-school style old antiques that should not be buried in the grave, and sooner or later, they will be completely forgotten by history.

The scope of this attack is really big. Even some people who didn't care much about the old man's new style originally put this cutting-edge designer who is full of dung into the list of people who don't want to associate with him.

The old man's life in those few years was really not easy.

The criticism from the critics, the disapproval from the wealthy and famous families, if this young designer hadn't relied on his unyielding brute force, he really wouldn't be able to make it to the present-although he has the problem of being poisonous and irritable, he hasn't changed until now .

Today, although Alessandro has become a world-renowned design master, he is still unpopular with some people. After all, they are poor people who were swept into the grave by the old man.

The pedants of the museum are like this, and the rich and famous families are similar. When the old man opened the cannon, he never worried about the problem of not enough area to shoot.

Looking to borrow jewelry?hehe.

You might not like the things that Old Antique is going to bring into the tomb, right?

Anyway, the poor old man has never borrowed expensive ancient jewelry to add luster to his show, which is a pity for a design master who likes gorgeous classical court style.

Perhaps it was also because of this secret unwillingness that he chose the cheap jewelry that pretended to look like an ancient court treasure.

But Jiang Yun suddenly remembered: "Your boss has a lot of collections at home, why don't you borrow from him?"

"Yan?" The old man was taken aback, "How could there be these things in his place?"

In the old man's impression, Yan Mo is a typical upstart in the business world. This kind of person has accumulated a large amount of wealth in a short period of time with his talent, but he still has deep traces of his original class in his clothes.

Yan Mo's temperament and demeanor are indeed outstanding, but he doesn't even want to wear a suit and tie. He always wears loose casual clothes that only pursue comfort, and he never wears a famous watch. A rich man who came out from here.

The old man even thought that Yan Mo would not even look at those jewels, let alone collect them.

Although the old man's guess about Yan Mo was right, it's a pity that he couldn't stand this man's family background, which was older and richer than the average European nobles.

Jiang Yun had seen Yan Mo's collection in his suburban house. The scale and quality were quite frightening. It is said that there are several such storage rooms in their house.

Jiang Yun didn't want to say much, just suggested: "You can ask him."

The old man complied dubiously, and then almost went crazy.

At the end of the day, it was Percy who bought it five years ago, that is to say, he missed out on those delicate and beautiful things for five years!

"Didn't you become so rich because of a technology company?!" The old man almost doubted his life, why there is such a complete winner in life, and he even met him!

At the end of the speech, he felt that the old man's thoughts were inexplicable. He was rich, and his family was also rich without delaying it.

Then, Alessandro, who has always been an artist and has a strong attitude, hugged the boss's thigh shamelessly and begged to borrow his collection to have a look.

Yan Mo did have a lot of these things in his hands, and he really didn't have much interest in them, but his grandfather and father liked them, so he had accumulated a lot here.

Yan Mo easily agreed to the old man's request.

Unexpectedly, the next day, after a round trip, the old man came to beg Jiang Yun again.

It was a coincidence that the old man looked around in the treasure house full of history with great interest, but finally fell in love with a brooch with only photos left. After further questioning, he said that it had already been sent out. .

For the boss's behavior of a local tyrant, there is no other way but to drool, but knowing that the recipient of the gift is Jiang Yun, he just wanted it.

"This is definitely the best substitute! My lovely little angel, you must agree to my request!" He beckoned to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun was still puzzled: "This is an ancient oriental brooch. At the end of the year, there are many treasures from the ancient European royal family. Why did you choose this?"

The old man whispered, "If I choose those, I will definitely be laughed at by those old antiques."

...what a reason to be bored.

"As long as Yan Mo agrees, I don't care." In his heart, he originally kept the brooch instead of Yan Mo.

"Speaking, as long as you agree, he doesn't care." The old man said immediately.

That's it.

Because this ancient brooch is really valuable, it is impossible for Jiang Yun to bring it out casually. In the previous rehearsal, he only confirmed the color and style for the old man with his own eyes, and did not wear it out.

Until the day of the catwalk.

On this day, the backstage was extremely busy. Skinny models shuttled back and forth. Make-up artists, designers, designer assistants, and various support staff crowded the originally not spacious backstage. Sometimes the models could only Standing and changing clothes in full view of the public.

It's a job with a lot of competition, a terrible working environment, and a surprisingly high level of intensity, but it's still coveted.

Models, stretched out and coming and going without notice, have long been used to displaying their bodies as commodities, whether in the spotlight or not.

Jiang Yun didn't quite get used to it when he first entered the industry, but now, of course, he has long been used to this kind of working environment with almost no privacy.

The rapid change of clothes, the catwalk, the gorgeous lights on the catwalk, the applause and amazement of the audience, and the chaotic state of the backstage like a battlefield are in stark contrast.

Jiang Yun is quite comfortable in this place, but Yan Jian is very uncomfortable.

He is also an employee of Percy, so he has a backstage pass. Recently, there are big shows, and various new faces come and go, and no one pays much attention to him.

He barely squeezed in, and his first reaction was to cover his nose and mouth in disgust. There will always be some strange smells in crowded and narrow places. Mixed with the smell of deodorant and countless kinds of perfume, it really looks strong and pungent. .

However, this person's performance is really ugly.

"Hurry up, don't get in the way!" Yan Jian was still poking his head out of the crowd, and a model behind who was about to go on stage impatiently pushed hard, pushing this oriental man who seemed out of place here into a corner.

In the corner is a pile of clothes that have just been replaced by the models. Now the backstage is like a battlefield, and no one can care about sorting these out.

"What courage!" It took Yan Jian a long time to pull himself out of the pile of clothes in the corner, and was about to curse, but found that the other party had already left, and he couldn't tell who pushed him.

He was originally a guy with a special cleanliness, and he would feel disgusted even if he was touched by others, not to mention the terrible experience of being surrounded by clothes worn by others just now.

He faltered a few times, and just about to move away, he was pushed hard by the model coming from behind.

The second intimate encounter.

This time, Yan Jian finally learned how to behave, and walked along the corner of the wall automatically and consciously, and finally successfully found his thorn in the flesh, Jiang Yun!

He really hates this guy for stealing brother Yanmo's attention, brother Yanmo's room, and his chance to shine on the catwalk!

Therefore, he had to get closer and take a good look at what kind of spell this guy used!

It's a pity that the backstage is too chaotic. For a rookie like him, let alone trying to make things worse, even getting close to Jiang Yun is almost an impossible task.

Then, for the third time, he was pushed into the pile of dirty clothes.

Yan Jian couldn't bear it anymore, and finally tried to leave in disgrace, but unfortunately, he couldn't even leave smoothly, and was surrounded by people, pushed and shoved for a long time, and his spirit almost collapsed, before he finally squeezed out.

What a horrible experience!After Yan Jian left the backstage, she took a hasty breath, took out her handkerchief again, and tried to wipe off the bad smell on her body, but unfortunately, the small incense handkerchief was not strong enough and hardly had any effect.

He stomped his foot hard and went to the auditorium from the other side.

On Jiang Yun's side, it's finally time for him to take the stage.

At this time, Jiang Yun carefully took out the brooch. Compared with diamonds, emeralds are less dazzling, but have a deep and gentle beauty.

Holding such a brooch in one's hand is like holding a living spring, in which there are lotus flowers and swimming fish.

Jiang Yun doesn't know much about antiques, and he also knows that this thing is absolutely valuable.

The staff next to him helped him pin the antique brooch on the skirt of his shirt. Jiang Yun took a deep breath and showed his best state.

At this time, he is the king on the runway.

The stage lights shone down from overhead, as if the Milky Way was spreading in front of him, surrounded by scattered stars.

This is his own world.
