"Time is pressing though . There’s only two months left, and I only work part-time . I wonder how many shows I will be able to get in the fashion week . . . "
Ye Dong was very excited about this, even though he had no idea which were the top four fashion weeks .
He was a go-getter though . After calming down, he suddenly realized something .
"Qin Guan, did you just say that you could steal high-tech textiles developed by top brands? Are you aware that domestic textile production is limited to a simple repeated process?"
Qin Guan felt like slapping his own face . You foolish boy! The fox caught your tail! You couldn't do such a thing! It would be a crime!
No one knew if top brands were overconfident about the uniqueness of their high-tech textiles, or if they thought textiles were hard to analyse and produce .
Tailors, designers and buyers didn't care about that . Leftover materials were just piled up on the floor of every studio .
I can’t promise him this . I gave him an inch and he reached for a yard . I could abandon the plan after a successful beginning . . .
Qin Guan turned down Ye Dong's unreasonable demand . "F*ck off! Do you want to land me in jail?"
"Let's get back to the topic at hand . I will be doing you a great favor as a national celebrity . How are you going to pay me back for it? My job is related to yours, right?"
Ye Dong laughed . "The government knows about you, so you’ll get a satisfying compensation . You must be really happy about that . "
"Really?" Qin Guan opened his eyes wide . "What will it be? Which division needs an accountant? The National Railway? The coal, electricity or oil supply?"
Ye Dong was speechless . "Please! Your profit will be relative to show business! You’ll become famous all over the world!"
"Are you kidding me? If the government decides to shoot a film, it would definitely not air all over the world . "
Speechless, Ye Dong opened his handbag .
"The film will be directed by Zhang Yimou and financed by all ministries, the National Olympic Committee and the General Administration of Sports! It will be a short documentary that will be played during the Athens Olympics in August 2004 as the preview of the Beijing Olympics . "
"Our government is treating you very generously, isn’t it? Do you feel like doing something for your country now?"
"You misunderstood!" Qin Guan cried out . "I will give you a helping hand!"
A second later, his expression turned to surprise .
"F*ck! You fooled me! Stop using flattering words! I only want to know what the payment will be!"
As night fell, Ye Dong turned on the lights . Qin Guan was sobbing sorrowfully . "You cheated me! There will be no pay… And I will have to return to Beijing . . . Do you know how much money I can make in a minute?"
Ye Dong patted his own stomach, which was inclined to get bigger in the future . "My comrade, do you know how many people would kill for such a chance? You should be content with what you got . Both the party and the people need you . It's difficult to impress a director, you know . . . "
"If you complete this task successfully though, many revolutionary directors will welcome you on board . You could be a spy on both sides!"
"Do you mean that I could only play a traitor?"
"You do look like a high-ranking KMT officer . "
"Okay, your treat tonight . "
"As you wish!"
"I’m craving some Alain Ducasse at Dorchester . I want their most famous table, the Table of Light . "
"You do realize we are not lovers . What about some fish and chips?"
" . . . "
Neither time nor distance could separate the two friends . The two of them talked and laughed till midnight .
The next morning, they parted ways at the entrance of the hotel, both of them feeling energetic despite the dark circles under their eyes .
Sister Xue followed Qin Guan to the production car, talking about the promotion plan for her Chinese models . They belonged to different agencies, so their treatment would differ in a lot of ways .
Lv Yan had agreed to do three top shows for IMG . Du Juan had also done well in commercial spots . The other girls had begun to work in runway shows of second-level brands . August was the busiest month of the year . The Fall-Winter collections of all brands would be released one month later .
