Yu Lan talked to Fang Pingping all the way back to the manor, causing the driver to frequently look in the rearview mirror, hesitatingly wondering who Mr. Yu was talking so passionately with……Speaking of which, where exactly did Mr. Yu and his friend who went out that night met?
The drivers who were in charge of Mr. Yu take turns regularly, so he was also unaware of the previous situation.
The day he followed Mr. Yu’s friend’s car from a distance, though he had no idea what was going on. He didn’t say anything because the boss had clearly said he shouldn’t monitor Mr. Yu’s life unless there was a very difficult situation, so he was not required to report on Mr. Yu’s daily life.
Just at this moment, he felt……that their boss’ relationship was somewhat at risk ah?
At the other end of the phone, Fang Pingping spoke until his mouth went dry, it took Yu Lan a while to figure out what was going on.
After being called back by the editor-in-chief of “B.M.” that day, Lu Zhengzheng contacted a few more people, but unfortunately, those magazines have their own projects recently and were not accepting freelance work for the time being.
Lu Zhengzheng was pissed off and frustrated. He got drunk last night, and after he was in a daze, he went above the sky.
——He sent an email to one of the top five fashion magazines.
If it were the usual, Lu Zhengzheng would never have done this.
Fang Pingping always scolded Lu Zhengzheng for being too cowardly to try —— after all, there was a huge gap between “top” and “high-end”. Lu Zhengzheng’s work can be featured in “B.M.” from time to time, but was he good enough to be in a top fashion magazine?
Who knows, he won’t know until he tries.
However, Lu Zhengzheng just doesn’t try. He insisted on saying “It’s not time yet “, pretending to be mysterious.
Fang Pingping figured out that Lu Zhengzheng might lack a backbone, but he always felt that his best friend could try for the top five if he performed his job properly.
However, Fang Pingping couldn’t push a timid and stubborn person. This time, Lu Zhengzheng took this step by himself, sending an email to “V”, one of his favorites of the top five. He also threatened that if “V” refused, he would continue to vote for the other four, vowing to vote for them one by one!
Only moments ago, however, he had received a phone call from “V”.
——He was on his way to buy wine when he got the call and almost fell down the stairs!
As a newcomer to the fashion industry, of course, Yu Lan didn’t have a clue about the fashion magazine “V”, but from Fang Ping Ping’s enthusiastic tone, Yu Lan was able to guess how powerful the magazine was.
It’s said that the issue of “V” had already been printed, and the cover featured a recently popular model, however, earlier that day, the model suddenly exposed some political issues through social networks. The editor-in-chief of V magazine was also a very simple person, so she directly said to replace the cover, and the interview about this model on the inside page was removed and reprinted.
It now became a question of who to replace the cover with.
After the meeting, the editor-in-chief of “V” magazine informed the news, leaving behind a group of panicked employees and went back to her office by herself to calmly check her mail.
For “V”, it’s actually quite easy to find replacements to put on the cover. But their editor-in-chief, regardless of the circumstances, may make seemingly casual decisions about each issue of the magazine, but in fact is very cautious.
When she clicked on Lu Zhengzheng’s email, her eyes brightened——
Why could Fang Pingping describe it so specifically, as if he were at the scene?
Because the phone call from V was made by the editor-in-chief of “V” to Lu Zhengzheng himself.
The editor-in-chief not only took a fancy to Yu Lan’s photo, but also asked Lu Zhengzheng about Yu Lan’s information with great interest.
A new model who took his photos for the first time.
A face that wass beautiful to the extreme, gentle and calm, yet with a hidden sharpness.
With a pair of dark blue eyes that seem to fill the whole world.
It was very impressive.
Also very surprising.
“If it is possible, I hope to meet this child after these two days of chaos.” That’s what the editor-in-chief said
Fang Pingping was still chirping, “Ah Lan, do you know what this means?! “V”!, which all models want to be featured in! I’ve always known that these top fashion magazines are very bold and don’t pick people based on their fame, but I never thought they would be this bold!”
A model who had never appeared in the public eye before was featured in a magazine of “B.M.”‘s standard for the first time and people were surprised, but they can accept it.
But the same situation happened in “V”, and that was shocking——as Fang Pingping said, the top five didn’t pick people based on fame alone, but only if the new models had enough strength to be in their magazines.
Despite their lenient requirements, Yu Lan was the only person in ten years to have his first photo in his modeling career to be on the cover of one of the top five!
Fang Pingping screamed, “Ah Lan, you’re a legend! You will definitely become a legend!!!”
His voice came through the phone, prompting an umpteenth glance from the driver, and Yu Lan couldn’t contain himself.
How can he put it, when he left Lu Zhengzheng’s studio that day, Yu Lan didn’t feel anything was real yet.
Once he became a model, what kind of changes will happen in his life?
Would it really be as beautiful and exciting as Fang Pingping said?
Yu Lan was so used to darkness and tranquility that he couldn’t imagine it.
But under Fang Pingping’s influence, his heart felt a ripple, and he was even vaguely excited.
His photo will be published in the magazine which will be published tomorrow.
There will be countless people who will see and know him.
There was also a trace of uneasiness in Yu Lan’s heart.
He asked, “Can you buy me a magazine tomorrow?”
Fang Pingping gasped, “Right! The digital version will also be available tomorrow night! Ah Lan…”
Yu Lan straightened his back.
Fang Pingping’s voice had a gleeful tone of excitement in it, “Congratulations.”
Yu Lan subconsciously raised the corners of his lips.
He laughed and said, “Congratulations, Uncle.”
……
As soon as Fang Pingping’s news had reached them, even though Yu Lan looked very calm he had some trouble sleeping.
He went online to learn more about “V” and the other four top fashion magazines’ power, and became even more nervous, wanting to call Mr. Shao on the spot for reassurance.
However, considering the fact that it was already late at night, this idea was naturally dismissed.
By the way, how would Mr. Shao react if he saw his picture in the magazine?
Under all kinds of tension, anxiety, and anticipation, Yu Lan wasn’t able to fall asleep until the early morning.
After sleeping for a while, the alarm clock rang, Yu Lan got out of bed, packed up quickly, and after eating breakfast, rode his bike to the downtown area. He headed directly to the newsstand along the way——
His heart was pounding and his eyes were looking for “V” on the display.
When he found it, he also saw the thumbnail of the cover of this issue of “V”.
On it was a little digital photo of him.
……It’s really him!
……
During the last banquet, Lin Yu received a lot of invitations from other managers, and the invitation was of course from their bosses.
However, he knew that his boss’s mind was definitely occupied with other matters, therefore, he pushed off all these invitations and scheduled the ones that couldn’t be rejected in the following work days.
When he got away from the crowd of big shots, he walked to the third floor. Just now, the boss said to have a rest upstairs for a while.
Halfway through, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Lin Yu opened it casually, and saw that it was a message from the secretary.
He stopped and was dumbfounded when he saw the contents more clearly.
At the end of the third floor, a man sat on a sofa chair by the window, staring at the view outside, with a cigarette between his fingers.
Turning his hand over to look at his watch, he heard the sound of running from the side.
“CEO Shao! CEO Shao!”
Shao Mingyu turned his face to the side and saw Lin Yu quickly running over, pointing at his phone with a flushed face and stammering, “CEO Shao, look at this! Mr. Yu! It’s Mr. Yu!”
Shao Mingyu was stunned, took Lin Yu’s phone and looked at it, his pupils narrowed down.
It was a photo.
A photo of the cover of a magazine.
At the front of the cover, there was a well-known fashion symbol, a large artistic letter “V”, and in the center, a youth with black hair was gazing straight at the person who was looking at the cover.
Showing only up to his collarbone, a dark blue ink sprayed on his thin neck and crisscrossed from his right cheek to his left eye, where the purest shade of blue was.
The youth had fair skin and features with a flexible beauty.
It was modest.
However, his pair of eyes, which were looking directly at the outside world, were so blue that they seemed to contain the whole sea and sky, and yet they seemed to shine with a bright light.
Youthful and sharp like a gem with very sharp edges.
This face, these eyes, were breath-taking.
Lin Yu was almost frozen.
This photo was sent by the secretary, who was always a fan of “V” and subscribed to every issue.
Just now, she sent a row of exclamations in a near frenzy, saying, “I’m in love!!! I’m fucking crazy!!! This is supposed to be an O, right? Why the fuck isn’t it an aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Why the fuck isn’t it an aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
At this moment, Lin Yu swallowed his saliva and asked, “CEO Shao, this……is Mr. Yu, right?”
Shao Mingyu stared straight at the photo, rubbing his thumb slowly over it.
Lin Yu’s heart trembled.
What’s going on here? Where is he? Who is he? What’s he doing?
How come after going out on a business trip, Little O makes it to “V”???
What’s more, the boss didn’t seem to know?
Shao Mingyu’s gaze slowly traced the youth’s face, unable to recover for a while.
What a pair of eyes they were.
It suddenly occurred to him that 16 years ago, when he first saw this person as a child, he knew that he had the most beautiful pair of eyes in the world.
And these eyes have never dimmed, no matter how much darkness they have experienced.
It was indeed a gem.
It was only in his presence that this gem gave off a soft radiance.
This is the first time that Shao Mingyu has been pierced straight into the heart by this kind of radiance.
Lin Yu was carefully watching from the side, shocked, nervous and excited, completely unable to tell what his boss was thinking.
Moments later, the man returned his mobile phone to him.
Lin Yu whispered, “CEO Shao?”
The man twisted his cigarette, got up, and with a slightly hoarse voice said, “Go back.”
……
Yu Lan bought a magazine and came back.
He still doesn’t know how to tell Uncle Liu and Aunt Jiang. Of course, he actually wants to be the first to tell Mr. Shao about it.
Mr. Shao said he would probably arrive home late today. Yu Lan thought he could wait, but perhaps because he was too excited the night before and didn’t sleep well, it caused him to be drowsy by ten o’clock.
In a daze, Yu Lan decided to put on his pajamas, hugged the magazine, tap-tap1(踢踏) tī tà – tap-tap into his slippers, and finally arrived at Mr. Shao’s room.
Then after ten minutes, he curled up on the edge of the bed and fell asleep.
When Shao Mingyu arrived home, he rubbed the head of Little Mars, who hadn’t seen him for several days and missed him very much, and went upstairs.
After rubbing it in a hurry, the master withdrew his hand. Little Mars eagerly followed and watched the master disappear at the corner of the stairs, whimpering in a low voice.
On the third floor, Shao Mingyu stopped directly in front of the youth’s room and raised his hand.
He paused, his gaze glanced over his wristwatch, it was already twelve o’clock.
After a moment’s silence, he lifted his eyes and glanced at the closed door, and slowly lowered his hand.
He stood quietly for a few seconds before turning around and walking to his room.
He stopped, held the door handle, turned, and pushed it open.
There was light inside.
Shao Mingyu paused, and when he pushed again, his movements were more gentle.
He walked into the room one step at a time.
Until he saw the youth who was sleeping defenselessly in his bed, curled up in a ball.
