His experience and typical gait were appreciated by some guests, but in his eagerness to achieve quick success, he neglected basic modelling rules, such as the concept of the designer.
γγHe had forgotten what the designer had said backstage, as well as the notes he had given them. His step and anxiousness didnβt compliment his outfit.
γ Everything was wrong! Shao's professional life would be over.
γγGritting his teeth, Shao joined Ouyang Fen, who was still taking pleasure in his misfortune. They entered the backstage area together.
γγBefore his eyes could accommodate to the sudden darkness, his arm was grabbed by a Japanese designer with countless braids.
γγ"How can you treat my work like that? You destroyed my concept!"
γγWhat? I compensated for it!
γγHis arm was hurting as he watched the scene in confusion. The music was still playing and everyone was moving. Theirs mouths opened and closed. As he saw his agent running towards him, his mind seemed
to pause.
γγShao lowered his head, staring at the clothes on his body. Reminded of the scene just now, he lost all his strength and sat down on the floor.
γγBy then, he had changed into the most gorgeous outfit of the Issey Miyake collection. It had a subtle Japanese style to it, but it was very fashionable.
γγFastening his last sleeve button with one hand, Qin Guan went out of the dressing room leisurely. The staff and other models made way for him.
γγShao Xiaobing was sitting on the floor, when a pair of magnificent black leather shoes went by without a pause. Shao fixed his eyes on the flying trouser legs moving away.
γγThe winner would be performing a solo dance on the stage. Most people had forgotten about the loser completely.
γγAfter the final show, Qin Guan stood on the stage with the host and the director of the ceremony. He got a crystal cup as a
a prize.
γγFame always followed merit.
γγQin Guan was not used to such occasions. He denied all invitations after the ceremony. Tired, he sat in a chair backstage. An assistant from New Silk Road handed him a bottle of water considerately.
γγIn the noisy meeting hall, no one would care about his absence. He was the guest of honor though, so he couldn't just disappear.Β
γγSister Xue rearranged her formal dress and told Qin Guan, "Let's go. Eat something. The staff is looking for us."
γγIn the modern banquet hall, there was a fancy self-service buffet of traditional Japanese style. As a foodie, Qin Guan liked fancy dinner.
γγThe appetizers were in wooden boats, vine baskets and tough pottery, taking guests back to ancient times. The other dishes were decorated with flowers and leaves. They looked like a girl in a kimono in an ancient yard was about to enjoy them.
γγThe most attractive thing though was a giant ice mountain of
mountain of sashimi, which was Qin Guan's main goal.
γγSister Xue pulled at his sleeve discreetly. "Watch your table manners. Stop poking at the mountain with your chopsticks!"
γγShe was too late though. There was already a deep tunnel on the mountain. Where is the soy sauce?
γγSister Xue looked around awkwardly. Everyone was talking with each other and making mutual introductions. The New Silk Road manager and the other models were talking with clients in a jovial mood. Thanks to Asian Fashion Man, the companyβs status had been upgraded instantly.
γγSuddenly, there was a small commotion. Fang Meiya and Chang Jin had entered the dining hall hand in hand.
γγFang, who was a frequent guest at the banquet, greeted everyone with a smile, while Chang Jin stared happily at the ice mountain.
γγThe manager and Ouyang Fen walked up to Fang and started talking with her. After several words, a voice was heard from behind them.
γγ"Ms. Fang..." It was Shao Xiaobing.
γγChang was Shao Xiaobing.
γγChang Jin stopped, too. Fang Meiya and Ouyang Fen had both had a conflict with Shao.
γAs he watched the scene, Qin Guan took another pile of sashimi from the ice mountain nonchalantly. Where is my camera? This will be some good drama!
γγFang looked at the man in surprise. Although they had broken up, he had greeted her with clear intentions.
γγAfter misinterpreting the designer's concept, Shao had decided to shamelessly fight for the mediaβs attention. He would make the black list of most brands in Asia. People would forgive the mistake of a green hand, but nobody would forgive such behavior when it came from a professional model.
γγHe had to open a new path for success, but that would depend on Fangβs mood.
γγIt was a pity that Chang Jin blocked him protectively. The two of them glared at each other. Ouyang Fen, who knew the man, stepped forward to block his glare.
