God's New Clothes

New York, the most dynamic city in the world and the capital of fashion, is also the goal of ANNA-X's efforts.

Under the influence of this goal, everyone worked hard, drawing and changing pictures, choosing pictures, making patterns and samples, and repairing and repairing, changing and changing until the discerning designer was completely satisfied.

One day in early February, everyone gathered in the studio to watch the models try on clothes.

A total of 35 sets of clothes were made this time, with each set ranging from three to five pieces.The colors are mainly black, brown, wine red, and orange-yellow.Generally speaking, this is an atypical Chinese-style design. Peking opera elements are integrated into the details of the clothing, such as belts, pocket covers, necklines, and hems.

The most nervous people in the audience were the samplers and pattern makers. I was afraid that Tong Yan would have a whim and change this, but in fact he didn't.

Standing in an inconspicuous corner, Xu Shi'an watched Tong Yan busy to and fro without saying a word. He believed that Tong Yan could handle everything well.

After the fitting was over, the designer didn't make any mistakes, and the studio burst into applause, which meant that the most important work of Fashion Week had come to an end for the time being.

After finishing the clothes, I will go to the studio to shoot promotional photos for the lookbook.The clothes are done, but some work around the clothes has just begun, and the time is tight.

Tong Yan sorted out the materials in the studio after finishing the work, and seeing that Xu Shi'an hadn't left yet, he asked, "Is everyone leaving the day after tomorrow?"

Xu Shi'an shook his head: "Let's go over one batch first, and then go over another batch after the printed materials here are ready in a few days."

"So nervous, I haven't been to New York yet."

Xu Shi'an smiled: "I'll ask someone to give you a copy of the schedule for going there later. You may not have time to go shopping when you go there. After the press conference is over, I will give you two days off before playing."

Tong Yan asked in surprise: "Really, then I really want to visit various museums in New York."

"Why don't you go to Fifth Avenue to pay your respects?"

"There is something to worship, maybe one day ANNA-X will also open a store on Fifth Avenue."

Fifth Avenue?Xu Shi'an really didn't think about it.

Regarding the development of the company, he doesn't seem to have any specific plans, everything is following Tong Yan's pace.In order to justify Tong Yan’s name, the first press conference was held. In order to avoid plagiarism incidents from happening again, this live broadcast of the show was held. Although everything can be regarded as a major commercial decision, but for him, The starting point of everything is for Tong Yan.

Then Tong Yan said that ANNA-X will open a store on Fifth Avenue, maybe he can really consider the possibility of expanding overseas markets.

Xu Shi'an said, "It's fine to open a store. I'll think about it."

This time it was Tong Yan's turn to smile: "I just said it casually, meaning our design is not bad, not to let you really open a store." You are so poor, how can you have the money to open it?

Xu Shi'an didn't continue this topic. It happened that someone from the marketing department asked him to have a meeting to discuss the live broadcast plan, so he left first.

When Zhou Mo came back from the design department, he saw Tong Yan alone in the studio, so he went over to help him tidy up. He hesitated and asked, "Have you heard about... Xiao Yi?"

Tong Yan put down the things in his hands and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

Tong Yan didn't even know, so he better not talk about it.Zhou Mo pushed his glasses: "Oh, it's actually nothing."

Tong Yan was most annoyed that other people only spoke half of what they said, let alone something related to Xiao Yi. He pinched Zhou Mo's cheek and forced him: "Say it quickly, don't say I kiss you."

"Let me go first," Zhou Mo was released, and stood a little further away from Tong Yan in disgust before saying, "I also heard from my former colleagues that Xiao Yi was suspected of illegal fundraising and was reported and is now locked up in the detention center .”

"What?" Tong Yan showed an expression of disbelief. It was really hard to imagine that his former lover, who had planned to spend his whole life together, would actually get into a lawsuit!

Even if Xiao Yi failed him and took revenge on him, after all, these things did not have any substantial impact on him.It doesn’t matter if he healed his scars and forgot the pain, or the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, he only hoped that from now on, he and Xiao Yi would return to the bridge, return to the road, and not disturb each other.

It's impossible not to worry, but he didn't know what to do, so Tong Yan asked Zhou Mo helplessly: "Illegal fundraising? How could it be? Will he... go to jail?"

As a family member of a criminal policeman, Zhou Mo knew that under such circumstances, a prison sentence would be inevitable. Seeing Tong Yan's expression of genuine concern and distress, he didn't know how to speak, and said vaguely: "Well, it's hard to say, I heard that it invested in a P2P project, and the specifics depend on how the trial will be conducted after the trial.”

Tong Yan was in a trance, lost his mind all afternoon, and finally couldn't help but secretly sent a message to Wei Shichen, asking him where Xiao Yi was held. Not long after, Wei Shichen gave him back the name of the detention center.

The next morning, Tong Yan asked for leave to visit Xiao Yi.He didn't know why he had to take this trip, it would be fine if he didn't know, but if he knew, he couldn't ignore it.Xiao Yi has no relatives and no reason just like him, Tong Yan couldn't figure out, if he didn't go to see him, who else would go.

Because it was a working day, there were not many people in the visiting area, Tong Yan sat on a small blue plastic chair, anxious and uneasy.The people to be visited came and went, and came again and again. Some of them were silent, some regretted, and some wept bitterly. All kinds of life seemed to be concentrated in this small visiting room. .He couldn't help but think, what would Xiao Yi look like when he saw him?

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Yi was finally brought out by a prison guard.He was wearing the same gray prison uniform as the others, with his head drooping, his hands handcuffed, and he walked slowly towards this side.

Tong Yan stood up holding the glass, Xiao Yi finally raised his head. When he saw that the visitor was Tong Yan, he was startled at first, then tilted his head and sneered, then straddled the stool with one step, and quickly picked up the Telephone.

Tong Yan almost couldn't recognize the person across from him, his hair was shaved into a round inch, and he didn't know when it started to turn gray, like a middle-aged man who had experienced a lot of weather.He hurriedly grabbed the phone and put it to his ear, and saw Xiao Yi's lips move, and a familiar voice came from his ear: "Why are you here?"

"I only found out yesterday, how could this be?" Tong Yan asked eagerly.

Xiao Yi snorted coldly: "Come and see if I'm joking?"

Tong Yan shook his head: "How come, tell me what happened? Have you been wronged? What can I do for you? Have you hired a lawyer?"

Xiao Yi said coldly: "Stop crying like a cat and pretending to be merciful, pretending like you don't know anything!"

Tong Yan really didn't understand what he was talking about: "What should I know? What do you mean? I really want to help you, so please tell me what I should do?"

"Hehehehe..." Xiao Yi let out a strange laugh, and suddenly moved his head close to the glass. His eyeballs were covered with fine red bloodshot eyes, and he looked a little hideous. Not bad, you two are cooperating with me, are you satisfied now? Yes! I'm going to jail soon, I won't harass you any more, he can rest assured to sleep with you!"

Tong Yan looked at Xiao Yi in shock, what happened to Xu Shi'an?

"What is the combination of inside and outside? I really don't understand what you are talking about. It's this time. Can you stop talking angry, so that no one can help you!"

"Tong Yan, I really didn't see that you are so skilled. Xu Shi'an is willing to do anything for you. Did he give you the company? You sell your ass very well!"

"Be careful what you say!" The prison guard behind him scolded him.

Tong Yan couldn't say a word, maybe he was angry or hurt, he heard Xiao Yi say: "You tell Xu Shi'an, if you have the ability, let me never come out for the rest of your life, as long as the day I come out , his death is not far away!"

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he dropped the phone, stood up expressionlessly, pointed at Tong Yan with an index finger, his eyes were full of resentment and hatred, he stepped back step by step, then turned around abruptly, and walked into the room without looking back. small door.

Tong Yan was stunned for a long time before slowly hanging up the phone. He still couldn't understand why the relationship for so many years suddenly turned into a deep hatred?

It wasn't until the staff reminded him that it was time to leave that Tong Yan walked out of the detention center in a daze.

Winter is almost over and spring is coming, but Beijing has not even had a single snowfall. The city seems to have lost the ability to snow, just like Tong Yan, who wants to cry but can't cry at all.

Back at the company, Zhou Mo asked Tong Yan how the visit was going. Tong Yan threw him away and lay down on the workbench like an ostrich.

Zhou Mo pushed him: "What's the matter, did you see anyone? What's the situation now?"

Tong Yan didn't say anything, Zhou Mo asked him again before shaking his head.

"What do you mean by shaking your head?" Zhou Mo was puzzled, hadn't seen it yet?

Tong Yan still didn't answer Zhou Mo's words. After a while, he suddenly jumped up from his chair and hurried out the door.

We will be going to New York in less than two days. Xu Shi'an was discussing things with Zhou Hui in the office when he suddenly heard the wooden door being pushed open and hit the door stop with a "bang". over there.

Xu Shi'an said to Zhou Hui: "We'll talk about this later, you go back first."

Zhou Hui didn't know what happened to the designer who had always been amiable. When he passed by him, he glanced at Tong Yan's expression, and then he was startled. The little wild cat is quite scary when it is fierce.

Xu Shi'ante said calmly: "If you have anything to say, close the door first." He didn't mean to blame him at all.

Tong Yan came in and closed the door with a tap of his heel.Xu Shi'an felt that his appearance was quite impressive, so he asked with a half-smile, "You are so arrogant, who messed with us Tongtong?"

Tong Yan's chest was still heaving, seeing Xu Shi'an's glib expression made him even more angry.Ask directly: "Why was Xiao Yi arrested?"

Opening his mouth is the name he least wants to hear. Xu Shian's slightly raised mouth sank, and the smile on his face disappeared. He lowered his eyes and thought for two seconds, and said coldly, "Why didn't you ask why he was arrested?" Why did the police ask me?"

Tong Yan walked to Xu Shi'an's desk like a gust of wind, slapped the desk with both hands, and asked, "You let him in, right?"

As the distance got closer, Xu Shi'an noticed that Tong Yan's eyes were a little red, wondering if he had just cried, was it because of Xiao Yi?He was still a little restrained just now, but at this moment he couldn't restrain the sour feeling in his heart: "Why, you didn't come all morning to see him, right? I can't take it anymore, my heart hurts?"

Tong Yan suddenly grabbed Xu Shi'an's collar across the table and said, "What did he do? You have to kill him like this? His company is not as big as yours, his money is not as rich as yours, and he is not as handsome as you. What good will it do you? "

Xu Shi'an looked at Tong Yan's hand, raised his head and said, "If he hasn't done anything illegal, is he afraid of being reported by others? He deserves what he deserves, can you do this for him? It's a long time? Was it last time? I ruined your good deeds in the hotel and I will remember it!"

Tong Yan's heart was torn open, and he endured the pain and said: "You admitted that you reported him, and you didn't tell me? How many times is this?" His eyes finally got wet, and immediately I can't control myself anymore.Tong Yan let go of Xu Shi'an's collar, and said flatly, "You never take me seriously, right?"

Tong Yan turned around, his back was as thin as paper.Seeing his thin back walking out, Xu Shi'an suddenly felt distressed and wronged, so he stopped Tong Yan: "Wait a minute!"

Tong Yan stopped, but didn't look back.

"You know some of the things I'm going to say next, and some you don't know. I don't tell you because I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Xu Shi'an's voice came from behind, "First, because you left Xiao Yi, he slandered you on the Internet. You, pour dirty water on you, he wants to ruin you, you don’t let you get well, you know that. Then we held a fashion show, you were drunk that night, you don’t remember anything, but you come with me Do you still remember the incident when someone jumped off the building in the factory? Xiao Yi called the girl’s mother to tell all the reporters that the clothes you designed were produced in a bloody sweatshop at the door of your press conference. This piece Did the report mean that all our efforts were in vain? Fortunately, this group of people was discovered by Wei Shichen, and there was no trouble. Why do you think I went to his house to beat him? Am I not wronged? OK, if It’s fine for him to stop there, he doesn’t. You think your design was leaked by Chen Lei, but do you know who ordered him? You already have a name in your heart, right? But you don’t believe it Right, I have photos and audio recordings of their meeting, and I will send them to your email in a while. You can see it or not. He has harmed you again and again, but he didn’t do it. Can he let it go? I warn Is it useful to pass him and beat him? He is a mad dog, he just wants to chase you and bite, can I not lock him up?"

Xu Shi'an paused, calmed down and said, "You have a good heart, and you don't want to think of people as bad. That's fine. I'll help you get rid of all the bad guys. What's wrong with me? I'm not afraid of you if I hide it from you." Sad, don’t you take you too seriously? You can hate me or blame me, but please don’t speculate on me maliciously. I’m not a good person, but at least I’m not despicable.”

Tong Yan stood at the door with his back to Xu Shi'an. He raised his head, blinked vigorously, and went out without a word.

The author says:

Explain that Tong Yan is a very kind person, because he had no parents since he was a child and grew up with his grandmother, which made him cherish his family very much. Xiao Yi is not only a boyfriend to him, but also a family member, so he endured it all the time. he.From Tong Yan's perspective, he didn't know Xiao did the following things.But there is a detail: Tong Yan didn't cry when facing Xiao, but cried when arguing with Xu Shi'an.What he cared more about was whether Xu Shi'an took him seriously or not.In the end, Tong Yan will apologize to Xu Shi'an for his words and deeds today.
