[Net King + Black Basket] Seijuro, your mother calls you to go home for dinner!

The fashion festival that decided Xunli's fate finally opened in her anticipation!

Although the highlight of the clothing show will start at [-]:[-] in the evening, Xunli was the first to rush to Odaiba at [-]:[-] in the morning after receiving a call from the editor-in-chief. The luxury cruise ship has already docked in Tokyo Bay to welcome guests.

Because she is the new editor, Kanai entrusts her with the backstage work—this job sounds like a heavy responsibility, but in fact it is the hardest, most tiring and neglected.

Xunli led a group of previously recruited volunteers to the small room for training, and more than 40 chairs were fully filled.She was bored listening to a lot of nonsense from the person in charge, plus a 10-minute praise of the Classic Fashion Festival, Xunli sat on the chair in the corner of the last row and fell asleep.

After nearly an hour of training, she took a dozen volunteers to the backstage to make preparations.

The dressing room backstage was filled with piles of shoe boxes, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of shoe polish, which was very different from the high-class lobby of the ship.Xunli sighed melancholy, thinking that these beautiful editors really know how to call her, and there are so many volunteers who are willing to do white work.

"Guys, our task today is to sort all the shoes and tape the soles - so that the models will not accidentally slip on the catwalk."

A group of young people exclaimed in succession.

"This... no matter how you look at it, there are more than 100 pairs of shoes!"

"Believe me, there are more than a hundred pairs." Xunli glanced at the cardboard boxes in the corner, "Anyway, let's take out all the shoes first!"

More than a dozen people squeezed into the narrow changing room to unpack boxes and shoe boxes, and because there were only two pairs of scissors, they became the most sought-after items.

Looking at this scene of chickens and dogs jumping around, Xun Li felt like crying.She only received the news this morning, otherwise she would have to buy ten pairs of scissors!

Six boxes of shoes were dismantled, and each style was different. The sizes ranged from size 5 to size 10. According to visual inspection, there were at least [-] pairs!Arranging all the shoes by size and style plus taping the soles of each pair was an absolute undertaking.They don't know the models of the feet of the models participating in the event in the next three days, not to mention being lazy and posting a few pairs less.

"Yoxi, let's start working!" Xunli felt her eyes darken for a while, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and forced herself to cheer up.

It took them nearly two hours to sort all the shoes. The high-heeled shoes lined up one after the other took up half of the dressing room, leaving them nowhere to put their feet.Fortunately, there are enough dressing rooms on the cruise ship, otherwise it would be impossible to imagine the embarrassing scene of models, staff and shoes crowded in the same room.

"Pfft...the lineup is finally over!"

"Don't forget we have to put tape on!!"

"Huh? I almost forgot!" Everyone wailed.

Many volunteers have retreated and sat on the cardboard boxes to rest one after another. Those who couldn't grab the cardboard boxes simply sat on the floor.

Xun Ligui was one of the people in charge, and said to them with a little apology, "It's better for you to divide into two waves, keep one wave, and the other wave can go to the front desk to change shifts every 10 minutes."

They nodded, satisfied looks on their faces.The first wave of people almost ran out of the locker room with a dash, and the speed made her feel ashamed.

"Hey, hey... These guys won't run away and never come back, right?" Xun Li moaned silently.

"Xunli~ You guys are so fast!"

A cheerful and loud voice interrupted Xun Li who was working.The person who came was Endo, who had a good relationship with her in the editorial department.Her outfit today is very eye-catching. The bright pink slim-waist V-neck tight-fitting cut-out dress just highlights her curvaceous figure.The same color embossed belt and amphibole CAP cap plus apricot open-toed high-heeled boots, full of vitality and a little bit of the charm of a mature woman.

Of course—Xun Li meant the clothes.She grew up playing with fabrics in her mother's studio, a professional designer, and she is only slightly more sensitive to this aspect than normal people.

She looked down at the cotton and linen gown and jeans she was wearing. The gap between Cinderella and princess level made her want to cry even more.

Anyway, Xunli is the backstage staff who come to work, so it doesn't matter what you wear!She comforted herself like this.

"Did you just arrive?" She put down the wide tape and high heels in her hands.

"Well, with everyone in the editorial department!" Endo added meaningfully, "Everyone is well dressed today~ It's a visual feast!"

"Since you are young and ignorant, I won't argue with you anymore ==" Xun Li complained silently.But she forgot that Endo was only one year younger than herself.

"By the way, it's rare to have this opportunity. You should also go to the front desk~ It's very beautifully decorated."

"What is your job today?"

"Responsible for building a good relationship with the invited guests. To put it bluntly, it is a social dinner in disguise." Endo said without hesitation, curling his hair with his fingers habitually.

She quietly observed the changes in Xunli's face. Would this young lady who was pampered by Akashi's family feel unbalanced?

……

However, Kaoru's reaction disappointed Endo.

"That's it! Then you have fun, I should continue to work~" Xun Li gently issued the order to evict the guest, without showing a trace of displeasure.

In fact, she was secretly glad that they didn't let her work at the front desk—although she hadn't been able to get in since eleven o'clock, at least she didn't have to deal with those upper-class people in the dressing room, and she wouldn't be found out if she wanted to be lazy~

She almost snickered.

After sending Endo away, Xunli and the rest of the volunteers worked hard, passing two rolls of tape and a pitifully small number of scissors to each other.While listening to the band audition coming from the front desk outside, she kept working.The tips of Xunli's fingers were sticky, and they were scratched by the edge of the high heels several times, and her delicate hands turned red.

She swore that if she made herself do the same thing for another two days, her hands would definitely grow calluses!

Xunli worriedly forgot to glance at the door, and the group of volunteers really ran away...

"Young people nowadays~ they really don't know how to endure hardship." She looked around, and there were only a few scattered volunteers who also participated in the fashion festival the year before.

"Xunli! Why are you still here!?"

If Endo's visit was not unexpected, Noriko's appearance scared her to the point of having a heart attack! !If Dianzi, who has always been acting like a younger sister, sees Xunli hiding in the background doing such things...

"Sister! Why are you here?" She hurriedly put down her high heels, clutching the corner of her clothes with her fingers unnaturally.

"You...they assigned you to do this?" Dianzi trembled as he pointed at the shoes.

"Hehe, look at my dedication~"

"You don't have to suffer like this!"

Xun Li shrugged indifferently, "I'm a newcomer, this is my job."

Just because she is a newcomer, no matter how strong the backing behind her is, she has to start from scratch like an ordinary person.She wants to prove her own strength, not just rely on others.

Besides, she didn't hate the job at all.

"Don't talk about this, why did you come to find me?"

"Ya Shi just arrived, you change clothes quickly!"

Dianzi forced the bag into her hand, pushed her to the door and urged.

"What's the situation? How did he come?" Xunli heard from the seniors about this matter, saying that Yashi never participated in the activities of his "small company".

"It is very likely that he wants to see his work efficiency!" She held her forehead, although it would be good for him to observe his work environment, but... standing in front of him wearing this "home clothes" will definitely be rejected despise.

Xunli rushed to the lounge and spent 1 minute changing clothes and putting on makeup, then followed Dianzi to the front desk disheveledly.The seniors in the editorial department all put on the best outfits in their closets, and chatted with distinguished business celebrities with goblets in their hands.

Well, the atmosphere is very good and harmonious.

And the center surrounded by the crowd is Masashi's location - the red hair is very conspicuous.

Xunli unnaturally combed his long hair with his fingers, walked slowly to his side, and coughed a few times.

People were miraculously quiet.

"Good day, good day." It's over, she can't communicate with him in daily conversation at all!

Masashi looked at her and his eyes stopped on her hand.

"Oops! Forgot to wash my hands!" She had to wonder if Masashi's eyes had an X-ray detection function, no matter where there was a small flaw, it would be detected!

"You work in the background?" He narrowed his deep eyes.Before they knew it, people had made way for them.

"That's right." Xun Li breathed a sigh of relief, and continued following the topic Masashi initiated. "Well, we also met. Can I go back? Without me, the backstage must be a mess."

There was some pride in her tone.

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Masashi's mouth, but he immediately tensed up after realizing his gaffe.For now, he doesn't want to be too kind in front of Xun Li.

There is restless blood flowing in her body, and it is precisely because of this that she has achieved her uniqueness.

He nodded slightly in agreement.Xun Li felt like a prisoner who had been pardoned, and he walked backstage calmly to meet everyone's gaze.

……

The invited guests rushed to the scene one after another, and the cruise ship finally set sail on time at 06:30.At this time, night fell, and the gradually deepening night was as bright as day because of the colorful city neon lights.

Finally, Xunli and the few remaining volunteers finished pasting hundreds of pairs of shoes. They were so tired that they were almost paralyzed and had no interest in going to the front desk to observe.They are more, interested, interested, and interested in dinner than this!

Today's event is not too busy, there will be an hour of music performance first, and the runway show will start after the organizer speaks.Since the fashion festival has just started, tonight the designers will lead their models to prepare a work to be displayed on stage.

"What!! The organizer doesn't provide box lunch?"

Not to mention volunteers who have been busy all day, Xunli was also stunned.Her expression can be regarded as distorted!

She is holding a shriveled belly, there will definitely be restaurants on the cruise ship, but the prices must be ridiculous, and she didn't bring a wallet at all!

Depressed, Xunli ran to the deck to blow the cold wind, and the brackish sea breeze scattered her hair.Waves of waves undulate rhythmically, and seagulls slide quietly across the sea surface, making their unique loud calls.

She held her chin, staring at a certain point with out-of-focus eyes.

"There are still fifteen days until next week's journal..." Xun Li smirked and raised his fingers to count the remaining days. Fortunately, Seijuro will fall into her arms after waiting for half a month!

Don't ask her why she is so confident, every mother's strength is infinite!

She even made a detailed plan to buy all kinds of enlightenment toys, fairy tale books, pure music albums, etc. before meeting with Seijuro, which will be a big expense.The Akashi family never gave Xun a haircut pocket money!She is also not sure whether her bank card has been confiscated or frozen. Even if she has a job, she is still just a parasite living in someone else's house until she gets her first salary.

"Shit! What an annoyance!!"

She opened her arms and cursed at the sky.

"Sooner or later, I will make a lot of money and make you cry and beg me! Hahaha..."

Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly added another sentence.After venting my anger, I really feel much more refreshed~ It's as refreshing as if you have been constipated for many days and suddenly passed!

……

Unfortunately, this scene was bumped into by Masashi who happened to pass by.He rubbed the forehead protruding from the intersection, and felt that it was necessary to reconsider the request to throw Seijuro, the next head of the Akashi family, to Kaoru.

The author has something to say: I used adhesive tape to stick the soles of my shoes in the background like Xunli back then! ! TAT is full of tears to say more!
