Chapter 179: Chapter 179 - Motivational Women
When they left the tower of S . V . , Yun Xiangxiang turned around to look at the towering building . “Brother Wei, I will never collaborate with this brand . ”
No matter how noble S . V . seemed to be, no matter how many international stars clamored after it, it still made it into her blacklist . It was all thanks to Lucifer .
Song Mian had told of the ambush of Lucifer on him back at the charity banquet . Naturally, she would be on Song Mian’s side .
She knew S . V . wouldn’t even know about her if Lucifer was taken out of the picture . She wouldn’t even have the right to reject it .
Even so, she believed that one day, these far-off brands would come for her . Even if nobody was pulling the strings behind them .
“Okay then,” He Wei replied in appreciation .
Businessmen were all for profits, but there are a multitude of top luxury brands in the world . S . V . might be one of the best in the fashion industry, but brands that could go toe to toe with it still existed .
“Brother Wei, let’s go back to China . The sooner the better,” she was not planning to play around with Lucifer here .
He Wei made a call to book their tickets . He asked Yun Xiangxiang, “What about the third?”
“No problem,” Yun Xiangxiang nodded .
Fashion weeks generally lasted for a week . Yu Xiangxiang had to hurry back for the competition in her campus . She could not afford to wait until the end .
They did not come here with a mission in the first place . They could leave anytime they wished . Three days was enough for them to leave an impression .
Yun Xiangxiang started packing when she returned to the hotel . She noticed the Lotus of the Connected Hearts Song Mian gave her, “Sister Qian, how am I supposed to take this with me?”
International flights prohibit anyone from taking any plants with them . She could not ask Song Mian to get out of his way just for a plant .
“Which airline company did you make your booking with?” Song Qian took her phone out .
“Alitalia,” Yun Xiangxiang overheard He Wei’s call when he booked the tickets .
Song Qian made a call to inform Alitalia, “Send it to the receptionist of the company before you board your flight . They will deliver it through a designated path . ”
“They can do that?” Yun Xiangxiang recalled a memory of a Thailand visit in her past life . She was blocked just because she wanted to bring a couple of pomelos back with her .
“You can . Just apply for a special pass, and you can bring it wherever you want,” Song Qian said that as if it was as easy as talking about the weather .
Yun Xiangxiang thought about how the Song Family was in the business of traditional Chinese medicine, and the variety of plants Master Song had . They must have shipped a lot of plants and medicinal ingredients .
Yun Xiangxiang went back to finishing her question sets after settling the matter of her plant . Song Mian had sent her the video of the errors in yesterday’s sets when she turned on her laptop .
She was running out of time . With each question set she did every day, Yun Xiangxiang’s mistakes were getting fewer and fewer .
The questions might be different, but the knowledge that was tested was the same . The only difference was how it was set up .
Yun Xiangxiang’s daily life was spent on question sets, watching fashion shows, and solidifying her knowledge on opera .
After watching the fashion show on the first, He Wei talked to Yun Xiangxiang over lunch, “Two brands are looking to collaborate with you . ”
Lu Jin was sitting beside them . He Wei was not planning to hide from him . Yun Xiangxiang listened seriously .
“One of them is a women’s clothing brand in Italy . It’s famous here, but not much so in China,” He Wei clasped his hands together . “The other one is an unestablished brand . ”
“Unestablished brand?” Yun Xiangxiang was taken aback . “What’s with it?”
“Have you ever heard of Deng Yang?” He Wei asked .
“I heard of her before,” Yun Xiangxiang nodded .
She was a celebrated fashion designer . Yun Xiangxiang saw the interview about her in her past life . Deng Yang, who was in her forties now, was China’s motivational woman . In private, many in the entertainment industry would ask her to design their clothes .
“She has her own brand,” Deng Yang’s brand was not any ordinary brand . It could stand among the top in the world .
“She had a divorce . Lost the lawsuit for keeping her brand . She has nothing except for her talent now,” said He Wei .
Yun Xiangxiang was surprised about Deng Yang’s divorce, as well as how bad she was doing . “She still has her connections, right?”
Deng Yang studied in New York for a few years . She had great connections in the US, even to the point where she could be known in the fashion industry .
“How long has it been since you last heard about her news?” He Wei replied with a question .
When enquired by He Wei, Yun Xiangxiang remembered about how she stopped keeping tabs on the outside world since she started staying in the hospital in her previous life . Five or six years have passed since her rebirth .
She was only about thirteen five or six years ago…
When met with Lu Jin and He Wei’s quizzical look, Yun Xiangxiang remained calm . With slight awkwardness, she answered, “I wanted to be a fashion designer in the past . Saw the interview about her around six years ago . ”
Six years ago, Deng Yang was at the zenith of her career . Yun Xiangxiang loved to paint . She had a dream of being a designer . It would be reasonable for her to be interested in this field . Thus, coming across the interview by chance was normal .
“After the divorce five years ago, she lost the lawsuit . She got half of the assets after the allocation . But then she found out she had cervical cancer . She’s receiving treatment these four years . Only having made a full recovery last year,” He Wei was unsuspecting of Yun Xiangxiang .
“Relationships are fickle…,” Yun Xiangxiang finally understood what situation Deng Yang was in now .
Within five years, Deng Yang was already a hasbeen in the ever-changing world of the fashion industry .
If Deng Yang was the founder of the major brand she used to be, most actors would be glad to collaborate with her . However, that was not the case now . Naturally, famous actors had to factor in many sides if they wanted to collaborate with her . On the other hand, Deng Yang probably wouldn’t be interested in minor actors .
Deng Yang was stuck in the middle . She could not swim higher, but she could not settle for less . It was a coincidence that a newbie who wasn’t too major, and wasn’t too minor like Yun Xiangxiang appeared .
“Is she in Milan?” Yun Xiangxiang admired women like her .
Deng Yang started from a normal family, and fought her way up the societal ladder . She only stood out in the fashion industry when she was thirty, meeting her love when she was thirty-five . Fame descended upon her when she was thirty-eight . She was betrayed by love when she was forty . After losing everything, she even contracted cancer .
She must have spent a lot of money on her treatment, leaving her financially crippled . Even though she was already forty-five, she was still energetic .
In her previous life, Yun Xiangxiang was already tired of life when she was thirty . Not being able to move forward anymore, she chose to end her own life . Compared to her, she was disgraceful .
“She is here . I’ll call her now,” He Wei actually wanted Yun Xiangxiang to collaborate with Deng Yang .
Even so, he did not wish to make the decision for Yun Xiangxiang . It is not easy to establish a brand . Besides, Deng Yang was already rather old .
Thanks to that, Deng Yang failed to find any suitable actors . The actors who collaborated with Deng Yang six years ago either already stood at the top, or fell off the map by now .
The former already had brands that steadily collaborated with them . With such a stable partner, they had no reason to take the risk with Deng Yang .
As for the latter, Deng Yang naturally had no need for them . She needed someone to be by her side as she rose to prominence again, not hasbeens like herself .
As a fashion designer, she could start over from scratch; but if someone was eliminated from the entertainment industry, it meant everything was over for them .
Deng Yang had changed phenomenally since the last six years . Her figure was gaunt . She had short, tidy hair, and donned a simple suit .
Even so, Yun Xiangxiang saw no hint of depression or darkness in her eyes, only light .
And well as the energy that was just waiting to be released .
“I am Deng Yang,” she stretched her hand promptly .
