God's New Clothes

Chapter 53 The Empire State Building

The press conference was over, Tong Yan was still on the chair in a daze, Xu Shi'an grabbed his arm and dragged him to the backstage dressing room.Ding Xiao was dragged by the media to take pictures, so he didn't keep up with them for a while.

Tong Yan was sitting on the sofa, Xu Shi'an was leaning against the dressing table, his legs were stretched out, no one spoke, the atmosphere was a bit weird.

In the end, it was Tong Yan who spoke first: "The reporter asked you why you didn't answer the question directly? He also said that the company's financial situation is good. Didn't you say that the money for this press conference was borrowed? Why did you sell the house again? Did you have any?" A truth?"

Men are self-respecting and hope to maintain a strong, reliable, and well-rounded image, instead of being like the current situation, not to mention the demolition of the east wall to make up for the west wall, and they are also announced to the world, losing face.Moreover, the reporter only asked one question, and now he has a series of questions, which is really terrible!

Xu Shi'an put his hands in his trouser pockets, his face was not very good-looking, and he said in a low voice: "First, the company's book funds are sufficient at present, the salary is paid as usual, and the supplier is not in arrears. I said that the business situation is good, right? Second, even if I have A little capital turnover problem, you can’t admit it in front of the media? Who would dare to cooperate with us then? Third, I didn’t lie to you. I told you that the money was borrowed, but I didn’t say it was borrowed from the bank. That's all, if I pay back the money later, the house will still be mine. The fourth...the third is the key point."

Tong Yan raised his head and stared at him: "Absurd words, mortgage interest is so high, can it be the same as borrowing money from friends?"

"House mortgage loans are the most normal and convenient means of capital turnover. I used the most efficient and legal means to solve the capital problem. Is there anything wrong with that? Please don't look at me like I'm about to go bankrupt. Looking at me, I don't feel very lucky."

Tong Yan suddenly realized that it was really inappropriate for him to press Xu Shi'an like this. Why didn't he see Tina and Zhou Hui chasing Xu Shi'an's ass and asking this and that? His worry and performance have far exceeded the normal reaction that an ordinary employee should have.

Before the two of them finished talking, Ding Xiao came back, feeling that the atmosphere between the two was not quite right.He stood beside Xu Shi'an and asked, "Alex, what the reporter asked just now is not true. I wouldn't believe it if you were killed if you said you had financial problems. If you sold some stocks casually, several houses would come out."

Xu Shi'an didn't hide it from him: "Stocks can't be sold casually, our old man will know as soon as they are sold."

Ding Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "You really have backbone. Are you determined to make something out of yourself? It's up to you. Anyway, I'm not worried about your financial situation at all. But, generally speaking, When a man wants to start a career, he probably has the goal of starting a family, am I right?" After speaking, he glanced at Tong Yan.

Xu Shi'an just looked at him and smiled, but didn't answer.

Ding Xiao called his assistant to come in, packed his things, and prepared to go shopping.Before leaving, he said to Tong Yan: "Goodbye, designer Tong, see you tomorrow for fitting."

Ding Xiao left, and Tong Yan and Xu Shi'an were left in the dressing room. However, Ding Xiao interrupted the atmosphere of tension just now, and Tong Yan felt a little embarrassed. Xu Shi'an is a rich second generation, how could he have no money? , even if the house is really sold, maybe there is a bigger villa waiting for him to live in, and he is not an ordinary person. It would be good if he can work hard for a house in his life. No one else cares, only he is stupid. Because this matter has nothing to do with Xu Shi'an, so don't worry about eating carrots!Compared with financial issues, Tong Yan is more concerned about whether Xu Shi'an is honest enough to him.But he also explained this. Tong Yan felt that there was no need to spend any more time with Xu Shi'an, and was about to find an excuse to run away, when Xu Shi'an suddenly asked, "Do you have anything else to do today?"

Tong Yan will arrange a model fitting tomorrow, and he will probably be busy all day. The day after tomorrow is the fashion show. On the contrary, he has nothing to do now, but he really wants to find something for himself: "Well... I'm going to see Zhou Mo next time, he I'm sorting out the clothes I'm going to try on tomorrow."

Xu Shi'an stepped forward and threw the coat to Tong Yan: "Zhou Mo is so reliable, let him do it himself, I will take you to a place."

"Where are you going?" Since Tong Yan came to New York, he has never been to a hotel show at two points or one line.

Xu Shi'an smiled mysteriously: "You will know when you go, you must like it."

Tong Yan accidentally followed Xu Shi'an into a taxi. Xu Shi'an told the driver an address, but Tong Yan didn't quite understand it.

The car merged into the vast traffic, the scenery on both sides flew by, and a large block of New York-style buildings appeared in front of us, as if entering the filming scene of an American TV series.Tong Yan felt that it was new and unfamiliar. After so many days, he still worked with his original colleagues. It was no different from when he was in China. Now he finally felt a little bit about entering the enemy's interior.

The car stopped in front of a building between Seventh Avenue and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan. Tong Yan got out of the car, looked up at the ancient building in front of him, and smiled.

Xu Shi'an paid the fare, walked up to Tong Yan and said, "I'm not wrong, I knew you would like it."

This is MoodDesignerFabrics, the Chinese name is Mood Designer Fabric Company, which is the largest fabric store in New York and is famous for providing the latest fabrics that are popular in the season for top designers and celebrities in the United States.

Xu Shi'an is really good at picking places!There is no fashion designer who does not know here.Tong Yan said: "Before I came to New York, I told Zhou Mo that we wanted to hang out together. Now that I'm here, I didn't call him. He must blame me."

"Take it as a wayfinder, and bring him here again next time, won't it be over, let's go!"

When the two went upstairs, Tong Yan's little sense of guilt was immediately washed away by the colorful fabric.He was like a child who went to an amusement park for the first time, with an unconcealable joy on his face, touching and looking around excitedly.Xu Shi'an followed Tong Yan silently, smiled and listened to his whimsical thoughts on each piece of fabric he picked up, and then nodded in agreement.

Tong Yan held a piece of denim in one hand and a piece of silk printed with patterns in the other, and said to Xu Shi'an: "Did you know? In fact, every fabric can correspond to a person's personality, as we often say, It's the same as who wears what clothes."

Xu Shi'an looked at Tong Yan with great interest: "Well, what should I say?"

"Denim is stubborn and silk is sexy, corresponding to the wild west cowboy and the hot Moulin Rouge goddess respectively."

"Quite an interesting statement, what about you? What are you?"

Tong Yan turned around and said angrily, "I'm talking about fabrics, why are you teasing me?"

"Didn't you say that each fabric corresponds to a kind of person? What do you correspond to?" Xu Shi'an pondered for a while and said, "I think you...are modal!"

"Why am I modal? It sounds like underwear!" Tong Yan was upset.

Xu Shi'an smirked and said, "Because Modal has the softness of cotton, the luster of silk, and the smoothness of hemp, isn't that you?"

Tong Yan couldn't bear this kind of person who spoke yellow accents in public, so he threw the fabric in Xu Shi'an's face with a "swoosh".

Xu Shi'an was not angry at all, and said endlessly: "Don't be angry, no one can understand Chinese..."

Tong Yan would buy a few meters of fabrics that he particularly liked. Xu Shi'an started to hold these fabrics in his hands, and slowly carried them on his shoulders.When Tong Yan turned around to talk to Xu Shi'an again, he found that there was no one there, only a colorful cloth hill.

Tong Yan pulled out half of Xu Shian's face from a pile of fabrics, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I used you as a shopping cart, why don't you find a place to put it first."

Xu Shi'an found a table to put the fabric on, and said, "Every time I think this is the last piece of fabric you take, but I guess wrong every time. I really underestimated the appeal of these fabrics to designers. There are already There are so many fabrics, but you still can’t satisfy you, I was thinking, should I talk to their boss and let them open a store in China.”

Tong Yan joked: "I thought you were going to tell the boss to buy the mood."

Xu Shi'an smiled and said, "Oh, won't you worry about my financial situation? So you have double standards."

Tong Yan didn't speak, and turned around to continue picking cloth.

Xu Shi'an said: "Fortunately, you are just a fashion designer, you can just take whatever fabric you like. If you are a jewelry designer, I dare not take you to see some rough stones."

Tong Yan turned his head and said, "Do you dislike me for buying too much?"

"No, I'm just talking casually, but I really want to invest in a fabric factory or something, and make exclusive fabrics for us, so that pirates can't steal."

"What do you invest in? Isn't it so poor that stocks are left?"

"It's not..." Xu Shi'an rubbed his nose and said, "There are other investments, but they are not realized so quickly."

Tong Yan raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that I was worrying too much. Are you very happy to see me worrying for you all day?"

Xu Shi'an shook his head helplessly: "If only poverty can get your attention, then I am willing to go bankrupt."

"Who believes!"

Xu Shi'an paid for the fabric, gave the staff the address, and asked them to help deliver it to the hotel.After they finished shopping, it happened to be dinner time. Xu Shi'an suggested that since they were in Manhattan, it was better to go to the Empire State Building for dinner, and then they could also go to the observation deck on the 86th floor to see the night view of New York.

Tong Yan has no reason to refuse. Chinese people like to visit here. How can you count as coming to New York if you don’t go to the Empire State Building?He obeyed Xu Shi'an's arrangement and ate steak with him at the State Grill and Bar restaurant on the first floor of the Empire State Building, and then bought a ticket to take the elevator to the observation deck on the 86th floor.

After Tong Yan went up, instead of looking at the night scene, he turned his head to look at the roof.

Xu Shi'an asked him what he was looking at, and Tong Yan smiled and said, to see if there is King Kong.

"Stupid or not, come with me." Xu Shi'an said something to him, and then dragged him to watch the night scene.

Here you can overlook the whole New York, Xu Shian pointed out to Tong Yan, where is the Central Park, the Hudson River, Times Square, Tong Yan can only look at it based on the impression, but the night view of New York is really beautiful, those square The windows emit colorful lights, like pieces of beautiful mosaics inlaid in the air.

When you stand on the top of the most prosperous city in the most developed country, anyone will have the illusion that the whole world is under their feet!

Tong Yan said with a smile: "No wonder Jack shouted 'I am the king of the world' while standing on the bow of the Titanic, and I also want to say 'I am the king of fashion', isn't it too shameless?"

Xu Shi'an looked at Tong Yan and thought, you want to embrace the world, but I just want to hug you.

He said: "Then shout, no one knows you."

Looking at the tourists coming and going around, Tong Yan said, forget it.

New York always gives people a feeling of vitality. The flickering lights are like a beating pulse, conveying countless ingenious ideas, and finally turning them into visible and tangible products.Tong Yan was shivering from the cold and couldn't stop stamping his feet, but his heart was very passionate.

Seeing Tong Yan jumping like a rabbit from behind, Xu Shi'an unbuttoned his coat and pulled the skirt to wrap it up from behind.

"Isn't it cold like this?"

Tong Yan was startled, first smelled a familiar scent of perfume, and then felt Xu Shian's broad and warm chest.The coat was oversized, and Tong Yan was thin. Xu Shi'an put his arms around Tong Yan's body, and tightened his grip.This blow seemed to squeeze all the blood in his body to the top of his head, and the scene in front of him was turned upside down in an instant, the building pierced from the sky, the starry sky was trampled under his feet, and the sky was spinning.

Xu Shi'an's voice came from above his head: "Can you relax a little? Don't be so hard, I'm quite cold too."

Tong Yan was amused by his last sentence, held back but did not dare to laugh out loud, lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders.

Xu Shi'an took him into his arms again: "Stop laughing, you've shaken all the heat out."

Tong Yan stopped smiling, and turned his gaze into the distance.There is the whistling wind in my ears, the beautiful night scene in front of my eyes, and Xu Shi'an behind me.

This is... too romantic!

Tong Yan's face is both cold and red, and his heart is hot but also moving, and he responds to the restless rhythm of the city.

He suddenly turned around, faced Xu Shi'an, looked up at his sharp chin, and Tong Yan said, "I have something to tell you."

Xu Shi'an looked down at Tong Yan with gentle eyes: "Say it, I will agree to whatever you say now."

Tong Yan pinched Xu Shi'an's waist: "I'm telling you the truth."

Xu Shi'an: "Huh?"

Tong Yan lowered his head, as if he had made a lot of determination, then raised his head and said, "You are right, I should apologize to you."

Xu Shi'an: "This one."

Tong Yan: "I figured it out, I lost my temper with you because of Xiao Yi...it really shouldn't be."

Xu Shi'an smiled slightly, waiting for his next words.

"You don't tell me... it's also for my own good, every time he picks things first, you put up with him again and again, but he never ends, if you don't do it again, maybe someday It will bring immeasurable losses to the company, I was too impulsive that day, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter what the company loses." Xu Shi'an hugged Tong Yan even tighter, "I'm most afraid that he will hurt you."

Tong Yan looked at Xu Shi'an's eyes reflecting the whole city, and suddenly summoned up his courage and said, "Can we have a good talk after the Fashion Week is over?"

Xu Shi'an smiled brightly: "That's exactly what I mean."

Tong Yan asked nervously, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Talk..." Before Xu Shi'an finished speaking, his head was already lowered, and his lips were close to Tong Yan's, "I didn't even ask you, why did you ask me first? You are so impatient." ?”

Tong Yan's hand holding onto Xu Shi'an's sweater tightened all of a sudden. He really had no resistance to Xu Shi'an like this. Xu Shi'an deliberately stopped by his mouth for a long time, until he felt that Tong Yan's breathing was messed up, and then slowly dropped this kiss.

They've kissed in bed many times, but not this time.This made Tong Yan have an unreasonable illusion about their relationship, and it also made him kiss more devotedly and forcefully.

The 86th-floor rooftop full of tourists automatically gave up a small space for the two of them. This is the United States, so they don't have to be so scruples. They can hug and kiss here like ordinary couples, and no one will look at them strangely.

The band on the rooftop surrounded them, and the melodious music reverberated in the air. Tong Yan had never felt so excited before. If this is the case, let's do it again!
