Chapter 894: I Didn’t Submit My Application
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The person who had spoken paused for a moment and lowered his voice even further.
“... Besides, Yu Yu and Ning have a rather delicate relationship...”
The people around shared a look of understanding with each other.
The brand YU which had been founded by Yu Yu was the first and only high-fashion brand in China to have officially been recognized by the Bai City Fashion Association.
This alone was enough to make Yu Yu the top fashion designer in the country.
She was young, beautiful, and talented, and came from the Yu family of Hai Cheng. She had a well-established background.
With this combination of many factors, Yu Yu was already the highest ranking and most sought-after designer in the industry.
Whenever there was an event or conference like this, Yu Yu would always be the most sought after and the most dazzling one.
However, this time was different.
Shen Li was here.
Her “Flower and Moon” show with G&S had immediately made her famous overnight.
After that, as the main designer, her shows had become more and more stunning.
Everyone was shocked by her amazing talent and aura.
They could only look up to her.
When comparing the two of them, Shen Li was younger, prettier, more talented, and even had a better background.
She was the only young miss of the Gu family in Hong Kong City.
Her father was a well-known international physics expert, Shen Zhijin. Her boyfriend, Lu Huaiyu, was the second young master of the Lu family in the Capital, and the person in charge of the Lu family’s business.
It was already very impressive for an ordinary person to be able to possess even one of these factors. However, she possessed all of them.
She was truly privileged.
In comparison, Yu Yu’s status as the second young miss of the third house of the Yu family who was not favored instantly became incomparable.
However, that was not the main point.
The most tragic contrast was during the Bai City Fashion Week.
Shen Li’s “Embrace of a Star” show had been the first show of the Bai City Fashion Week. At the same time, it was also the one that had won the most praise.
In the following two weeks, hundreds of shows were held by several brands. Compared to that first show, all of them had seemed dull.
Her opening had been so successful that she had not left any room for competition for those who had come after her.
As for Yu Yu?
Her contracted model had attempted to commit suicide on the day of YU’s showcase. Before the show had even ended, she had been criticized by countless netizens.
Both YU and Yu Yu had practically been turned into a joke.
“I heard that YU has already been closed.”
“If she didn’t close the business, would there be any other way to deal with this situation? If such a scandal were to happen, the Bai City Fashion Association would definitely punish her. Rather than being expelled by them, it would be better for her to cancel her own brand herself. That way, she would be able to save some face.”
“That’s true... but even though YU can’t go on anymore, Yu Yu is still quite powerful. No matter what, on the surface, she doesn’t appear to have any direct connection to that incident. At most, she was implicated by her connection to Yu Cheng. Moreover, with the experience and qualifications that she has accumulated previously, she does have a chance of being selected as a member...”
“If she can be selected, she will really become the top designer in China’s fashion industry, right?”
The selection and evaluation process of the last member was very strict, so the level of confidentiality was also very high.
However, because everyone was in the industry, they could more or less hear some news about the matter.
For example, the news that they were more inclined to choose a Chinese person this time.
For example, several members had previously expressed their high opinion of Yu Yu.
For example, when Yu Yu had been in Bai City, she had even met President Ronai in private.
...
All of these revealed a message to the outside world: Yu Yu’s chances of being selected as the last member were indeed very high.
This was also the reason why so many people had come to the salon today.
Yu Yu was one of the organizers of this event.
If not for the fact that she was confident enough, would she have appeared in public and participated in such an event?
Everyone was smart.
A large part of the reason why they had come today had been to support Yu Yu Yu.
“Speaking of which, I think that Ning has a high chance of being selected as well. However, I don’t seem to have heard anyone mention her name...”
Everyone quieted down and looked at Shen Li tacitly.
In fact, there were quite a number of people who had such thoughts.
However, all the information that was leaked from various sources pointed towards Yu Yu Yu, so everyone naturally ignored Shen Li.
Someone suggested,”Why don’t we... go and ask?”
...
Not long after Shen Li arrived, she noticed a middle-aged man in a suit walking toward her.
“Ning!”
He had a warm and happy smile on his face as he quickly walked over. Soon, he arrived in front of Shen Li,
“You’re finally here!”
Shen Li had never seen him before, but she had already guessed his identity.
Sure enough, at the next moment, the man took the initiative to extend his hand.
“I haven’t introduced myself. I’m a friend of Pingchuan, Xie Jingyu.”
This was a very well-known fashion designer in the country, and also one of the organizers of today’s salon.
He could be considered a senior.
Shen Li shook his hand.
“Hello, Teacher Xie.”
She was Yu Pingchuan’s junior sister, and he was Yu Pingchuan’s friend. This title was probably the most appropriate.
Xie Jingyu looked at her with great emotion.
“It wasn’t easy to invite you to this event!”
If not for him truly wanting to get to know this genius designer, he would not have asked Yu Pingchuan for help.
“I’ve watched your previous shows. My wife has also ordered two outfits from your previous haute-couture collections. One was from ‘Flowers and the Moon’, while the other was from ‘Night of Thorns’.” Xie Jingyu looked regretful as he continued, “She wanted to order something from the ‘Embrace of a Star’ collection as well. However, the quota was already full, so she had no choice but to give up on it.”
The haute-couture products of G&S were priced at seven figures, and it was produced in limited quantities.
The moment the ‘Embrace of a Star’ collection had been released, it had immediately caused a sensation. Within a short period of time, all the spots had been taken.
There had been no chance to even spend the money.
It could be seen that he and his wife genuinely liked her designs.
Shen Li smiled and said, “Many thanks to you and your wife for liking the collection. If your wife still wants to make an order, I can still communicate with G&S.”
Xie Jingyu was pleasantly surprised.
“Really? That would be too much trouble...”
“You’re Senior Brother’s friend. This is all a piece of cake. There’s no need to stand on ceremony.”
Xie Jingyu was very envious of Yu Pingchuan.
Not only did he have such an outstanding junior sister, but she was also so good to him!
He did not know what kind of luck had hit him!
Xie Jingyu said, “Actually, today–”
Before he could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly interrupted from the side.
“Jingyu, Ning?”
The two of them turned around and saw that a few designers had come over.
Xie Jingyu greeted them with a smile, looking quite familiar with them.
One of the men in his thirties looked at Shen Li and asked curiously,”Ning, the Bai City Fashion Association will be choosing the last member this time. I believe you should be... very hopeful, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, several people’s attention up fell on Shen Li.
Even those who heard this conversation looked over.
This was a test.
Shen Li had long guessed that they were here for this. Feeling a little impatient, she replied with an indifferent expression on her face.
“I didn’t submit my application.”
