Chapter 82 - Can’t Afford To Lose (“Are you going to be home tonight?”) (1)
A few days later, Xu WanZhi received a red-carpet invitation to a charity event. The original owner didn’t have very good reputation and, in her impression, never have been on a red carpet of any type. Being invited to a somewhat reputable red-carpet even this time Xu WanZhi’s manager Fang Lin emphasized a lot on it and started planning for the event as soon as they had received the invitation.
One of the very important part of the event is to borrow a gown.
Even though Xu WanZhi had gained some popularity from being in “Blossoming Us” and being the spokesperson for Brand B, but she was still not very well-known when compared to those top-tier red carpet queens. Three to four days had gone by before Fang Lin called and told her that she had reached out too the few luxurious brands and they were only willing to lend her the styles from past year. They explained that all the new ones had already been lent out.
That would only make sense. Every luxurious brand already has a few series spokespersons domestically. Any new styles of the season would first go to these spokespersons. Wearing the same clothes was a big taboo on the red carpet, not even if they look somewhat similar. With Xu WanZhi’s current status, it was no surprise that she wasn’t able to borrow a gown.
Fang Lin’s idea was for her to pick the one that she liked better between the two older styles. One way or another, it’s better than have a high-end custom gown than a light-luxurious one. With her phone in hand, Xu WanZhi mulled over it for a little and said, “I have a current season one by Tianna. You think that will work?”
Fang Lin was a little stunned when she heard that. “Which Tianna? Tianna Zhou?”
“Yeah, Zhou Ye, the Chinese French designer.” As she was talking, Xu WanZhi stood up, walked over to her closet and looked at the gown that Butler Lin brought over. “A short, light yellow gown with tube top and tiny flowers on the dress.”
“A gown designed by Tianna? How did you get it?” Fang Lin’s voice went up a notch. She sounded very surprised. “Oh, that’s not important. Put it on, take a picture and show it to me.”
After she had hung up the phone, Xu WanZhi put the gown on and sent a picture of Fang Lin. Fang Lin responded with only one line, “We will get you the best stylist there are.”
The night of the charity ball, Xu WanZhi attracted the attention of many top-tiered photographers when she showed up in Tianna’s Spring-Summer series gown. The top half of the gown fit tightly to her curves with two flowers on the chest area. The hem was like a blossoming flower. Even if it was just a ready-made garment, but it looked like it was custom-made for her when she wore it. With the complement of her long and shapely legs, even the hem part of the dress seemed to have come alive.
Her hair was done with and adorned with a flower hair decoration. Along with the jewelries from Brand B, there was a sense of playfulness mixed in her elegance.
She looked like a piece of artwork with her delicate look. Many of the first-tier actresses paled with Brand D and Brand C custom-made gowns paled in front of her.
Steven, her stylist, was also invited as a guest at tonight’s event. When he saw that his work was appreciated by so many, he said to Xu WanZhi softly, “Are you seeing what I am seeing, dear? When your high-def pictures are posted on the internet, Brand D and Brand C would regret not providing you with their gowns sooner.”
Facing the cameras, Xu WanZhi was humble. “I don’t aim to be the best here; I just aim to not screw up.”
“There’s no need to be so lowkey,” said Steven as he gave her a bright smile. “You are born to do that. Trust that you are the prettiest one here tonight.”
At that same moment, Jiang YueXian pushed through the crowd and walked over, “WanZhi.”
