God's New Clothes

"Alex, can I come in?" Tong Yan asked.

Xu Shi'an tidied up his expression. Of course, there is nothing to do with his poker face.

He got up and walked towards the door, and after a few steps, he adjusted his mood: "Yes, come in."

Tong Yan stood cautiously at the door: "I see you... the chairman is gone, so I just want to come and see you."

Xu Shi'an raised his eyebrows. Although he was scolded bloody just now, seeing Tong Yan's concerned eyes, he felt a lot more relieved: "Worry about me?"

Tong Yan raised his head and asked, "Did the chairman misunderstand you? Have you explained it clearly to him?"

Xu Shi'an looked at Tina who was poking her head outside the door, hooked her fingers, and closed the door: "Let's sit down and talk, don't stand at the door." Xu Shi'an raised his hand, signaling Tong Yan to sit down and chat.

Tong Yan sat on the sofa with his hands twisted together, one hand squeezed the other, but his eyes were staring at the untouched teacup on the coffee table in a daze.

The tea leaves have all sank to the bottom of the cup, staggering and disorganized.His intuition told him that Xu Shi'an's father must have read the news on the Internet before questioning Xu Shi'an.So how does he see himself?Would he feel that he was Xu Shian's lover?Do you feel that you are very cheap because of those statements on the Internet?

"What do you think?"

Xu Shi'an's voice brought back Tong Yan's mind, and Tong Yan's mouth was forced to bend, and asked: "I didn't think about it, did the chairman make things difficult for you?"

Xu Shi'an casually put his legs on the coffee table, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and said casually: "It's difficult, he said that I don't know anything except messing around with men and women, and I'm just a prodigal."

"No, you are not."

Tong Yan's expression immediately became anxious, even more aggrieved than he himself had been wronged.Xu Shi'an found it interesting and asked, "Oh? What is that? I think my dad is right."

Tong Yan bit his lips: "You are not like this, remember what you said to me in the factory? I don't believe that a person with no ambition can say that. You have a lot of knowledge about this industry Based on your own understanding and ideas, you hope to do something and bring about some changes, but you just don’t have the opportunity.”

In Tong Yan's eyes, is he actually such a majestic and upright image?Xu Shi'an couldn't believe it.Regardless of whether it was a compliment or a comfort, after hearing Tong Yan's determined answer, Xu Shi'an felt that the aggrieved and unhappiness in his heart could disappear in smoke.

"My big designer can talk, and I feel much more comfortable." This is the truth.

Tong Yan lowered his head, avoiding Xu Shi'an's overly shining gaze, and asked, "Did the chairman say anything else? Did he... did he say anything about me?"

"Say it," Xu Shi'an's mood improved, and he wanted to tease Tong Yan, "Say you're good, let me treat you well."

"Why treat me well?" Tong Yan suddenly raised his head and blinked his eyes a few times. This sentence is easy to make people think wrong. He asked in disbelief, "No, no, did he misunderstand something?"

Xu Shi'an suppressed his smile and continued to talk nonsense: "He said that I have never had an expert around me to watch. Sooner or later, this company will be wiped out by my own nonsense. It is better to have someone to help than one person."

"Ah?" Tong Yan was at a loss, "No, no, no, the chairman... Did the chairman really say that? Did you explain that we are not in that relationship?"

"What kind of relationship?"

Tong Yan blurted out: "Nursery relationship?"

Xu Shi'an became more energetic: "What's the matter, do you think I'm not good enough for you?"

Tong Yan was a little anxious: "No, it's not a matter of being worthy or not, it's that we don't have..."

Seeing Tong Yan's bewildered look, Xu Shi'an finally couldn't help it anymore, and kept laughing with his chin propped on one hand. At this moment, Tong Yan also suddenly realized that Xu Shi'an had been teasing him all along.He casually picked up a pillow and threw it at Xu Shi'an.

"Okay, you're kidding me!"

Picking up the pillow, still smiling, when did Tong Yan become his smile switch?As long as he is with Tong Yan, his expression management will completely collapse.

Tong Yan was also dazzled by this rare smile, his teeth were nothing but spring.

After laughing enough, Xu Shi'an suddenly said solemnly: "When these messy things are over, we will hold a press conference to announce the new season's products, and at the same time attract investment and develop agents in some second-tier cities. You go back and prepare well with Zhou Mo. .”

"Do you want to hold a press conference?" Tong Yan asked in amazement. For many brands, a fashion show is a matter of losing money and making money.

Xu Shi'an straightened his figure, smoothed out his expensive suit, and said with certainty: "It's going to be done, and it's going to be very big. When your theme is determined, we'll choose a venue. Remember, this is not just a show. The press conference is also your counterattack. Shady, sought-after, and nurturing are all bullshit. Do they think they can be irresponsible by hiding behind the Internet? Listen to me, no matter what they say about you, use your Design, fight back with your clothes, I want you to make them look good!"

Tong Yan was dumbfounded, whether Xu Shi'an is a good businessman or not, this inspiring skill is very good, and Tong Yan's blood boiled with a few words.That's right, his designs are his weapons, and he's going to hit the fucking world with a bang.

At this moment, the door rang, and Tina came in and said to Xu Shi'an: "Alex, the interview from this morning has been released, and all negative content on the Internet has been deleted."

Xu Shi'an clicked on the link Tina sent him. There is no problem with the content. This article has been reposted many times by many big Vs, and some trolls have begun to spread it and make positive interpretations.After all, considering Tong Yan's feelings, the content of the interview is all to the point, and those straightforward interpretations should be left to "netizens" to do.

"Do you want to take a look?" Xu Shi'an asked Tong Yan.

Tong Yan shook his head, no matter it was good or bad, he didn't want to read it now.

"We are now two grasshoppers on the same rope. Your news and my news are all related to the reputation of the company."

"I know that. In fact, you didn't have to go through such a lot of trouble. As long as I leave, ANNA-X will still be ANNA-X."

"You are wrong. It turns out that An only has a shell and no heart. You came to make him come alive and become flesh and blood. So, no matter what, you can't leave. You are the soul here."

Tong Yan didn't dare to think carefully about the wording in Xu Shi'an's words. Those subtle differences were like a code that only the two of them could decipher.

Withdrawing his erratic thoughts, Tong Yan asked: "My matter has been clarified, so what should you do?"

"What should I do? About the entertainment industry, if I don't mention it for a few days, no one will remember who I am. I don't care what they like to say."

Tong Yan didn't say anything else, he was very grateful to Xu Shi'an for standing with him at this time, helping him talk and helping him solve the problem.But having said that, Xu Shi'an is his boss, and he may do all this just to maintain his business that has just improved.

Tong Yan returned to his studio, Zhou Mo was packing the fabric.

"How is it?" Zhou Mo asked.

"How about what?"

"Why did the chairman come here, did you ask?"

Tong Yan slapped his forehead, and he forgot to delve into this matter as soon as Xu Shi'an interrupted him.

Tired after tossing around for a long time, Tong Yan lay on the small sofa in the studio, picked up a magazine and buckled it on his face to block the light.

What happened in the past few days made him think a lot. In fact, most people in this world may not have a good life, but even if there is 1% good, they must show 100% in the circle of friends.

There is money to spend, someone to pamper, and a place to play... nothing less.

It is very likely that the picture you sent is that you have won the first prize at the end of the year, but you are complaining in your heart, it is better to convert it into cash; or you are sending a lipstick from your lover, but you are complaining that the color is not suitable for you at all.

Anyway, while liking it, I also gained a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred. This may be the biggest use of Moments besides selling things.

These whitewashed peace can deceive others but not themselves, so when seeing other people's lives become so messy and unbearable, they always feel a little gloating.The famous slogan should be replaced with "It's really good when everyone is bad".

This is the true psychology of the people who eat melons.

Thinking of Tong Yan in this way is really relieved, he should learn from Xu Shi'an's free and easy, although he may not itch if he has too many lice, but how he lives has nothing to do with others.

After thinking wildly for a while, he fell asleep in a daze, and had a dream. In the dream, there was only a piece of chaotic gray. He didn't know whether it was cloud, fog or water. Tong Yan looked around in a daze, and the sky suddenly started to rain. The rain was very strange. It is black, not big, and formed a black rain curtain between the sky and the earth, dyeing everything under his feet in pitch black. Tong Yan wanted to wipe off the rainwater on his body, but he didn't expect it to get blacker and blacker. Just when he was at a loss, The rain stopped suddenly, the sky cleared the clouds and the sun was shining brightly.

Tong Yan woke up in a daze, was stunned for a while, and then quickly rushed to the workbench to draw a picture.

It took almost no effort to set the creative direction for the series, because it was what he felt and thought for a few days.Because the fashion conference is held at the same time as the business invitation meeting, the clothing styles must be earlier than the actual season, so this series is mainly spring and summer clothing.

The design idea was sent to the design department. A few days later, the design assistant Hao Xintong came to Tong Yan with a stack of manuscripts.

The assistant asked timidly, "Tong, Teacher Tong, may I bother you?"

Hao Xintong was wearing a crisp white Oxford shirt, buttoned up to the top, and his face still looked immature as if he had just stepped out of school, but he was good-looking, with delicate features, and his eyelids were a little twitchy, but his eyes were big.

Tong Yan has an impression of this child, but he can't remember his name: "Just call me Tong Yan, what's your name?"

"Hao Xintong."

Tong Yan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, I remembered, 'I feel bad', right? Tell me, what's the matter?"

"..." Hao Xintong pursed his lips shyly, and said to the boss who always gave him random nicknames, "About the design of the press conference, I drew a few pictures, I don't know if the direction is right, can you help me?" Shall I see it?"

Tong Yan stretched out his hand, raised his eyes and said, "Bring it to me."

Hao Xintong handed out the design draft, Tong Yanfei read it quickly, and put the manuscript on the table: "Come here, I'll tell you again."

Hao Xintong quickly walked around to Tong Yan and lay down on the table to listen to Tong Yan's explanation.

"The name of this theme is 'Mature Power'. In fact, it doesn't matter what the name is. The important thing is that we want to show a powerful emotion in this design. Of course, it is mainly my emotion. You may not Emotions, but you can imagine my emotions. Or pass on your dissatisfaction with overtime."

Listening to Tong Yan's tongue-twister opening remarks, Hao Xintong was full of doubts, and nodded with a vague understanding.

"Look, gray stands for moderation, black for evil, white for innocence, and red for sacrifice. Your design looks good on its own, but under this theme, it looks too stable, not public enough, and has no power. Change A way of saying, good-looking, but not special enough, just like those beauties who have plastic surgery to become Internet celebrities, beautiful but soulless."

Hao Xintong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and nodded his head.

Tong Yan smiled, and then said: "Or you can imagine, there are so many clothes in the mall, why would a woman buy this one designed by you? The reason for her choice may be 'This is a publicity dress, my wife will wear it, and all men will see it. I have to look back', or think 'put it on, I can change from a lolita to a royal sister'."

Hao Xintong bit the fingernail of his right thumb, frowned, and was trying to digest the information in Tong Yan's words. After thinking about it for a while, he might feel that his sketch was indeed a little childish. He scratched the back of his head and smiled at Tong Yan embarrassedly.

Tong Yan also smiled, holding his chin with one hand, smiling very beautifully.This fledgling kid reminded him of himself when he just graduated, full of enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge.

He couldn't help but say a few more words: "Anyway, you have to have a different idea after wearing it. It's not just that you think it's beautiful. Beauty is the most basic. In addition to beauty, we can also give them some other things to wear. On the body. Got it?"

Hao Xintong's admiration was written all over his face, and he became Tong Yan's little fan in an instant, and nodded vigorously.

Tong Yan simply picked up the pen and added a few strokes to a picture of a black dress drawn by Hao Xintong: "Here, add some tassels, it can be very long, like streamers and tentacles, this is the soul." Tong Yan explained while drawing, Hao Xintong's head was close to his, and his eyes were fixed on Tong Yan's hand without blinking.

Tong Yan's hands are white and thin, with well-defined joints, and a few brush strokes give the sketch another effect like magic.

After the on-site teaching, Tong Yan tilted his head and asked him, "Do you understand now?"

Hao Xintong nodded vigorously, his admiration was beyond words, Tong Yan smiled at him, thinking that this child was quite funny and well-behaved, he couldn't help reaching out and touching his chin, just like scratching his Teddy at home.

The child's face turned red, and he couldn't speak: "Tong, Tong, Teacher Tong..."

Tong Yan imitated him: "Why, what, what's the matter?"

Hao Xintong said: "I, I know that the rumors on the Internet before are all rumors. Although I didn't know you before, I learned a lot after getting along with you in the past few months. You are a very good designer. I I support you from the bottom of my heart, no matter what others say, I hope you will not be knocked down by those rumors, your works will definitely be very popular."

Tong Yan leaned back in the chair and listened with great interest to the little fan who expressed his sincerity to him. Just as he was thinking about how to say thank you, he heard the door of the studio being pushed open suddenly, colliding with the door stopper and making a loud noise, and Xu Shi'an strode forward. walked in.

He stared at Hao Xintong next to Tong Yan like a cold star, and asked the two of them, "What are you talking about so happily, let me listen to it!"
