Chapter 384
384 The brand
Jiang se understood what Xia Chaoqun meant. Zhang Jingan had specifically given her information on Tang Weihua, the Tang family, and other important characters in the script. Jiang se had even looked through it. There was a detailed introduction to Cheng Jianguo’s daughter’s heart disease and information related to the heart transplant. However, he did not give her an outline of Tang Jing’s character. He was afraid that she would be affected by the outline of the character from the start and would go for the image of Tang Jing that had been set in advance.
In other words, what Zhang Jingan wanted was not a face-printed version of Tang Jing, nor did he want Jiang se to ‘act’ as this character. Instead, he wanted her to analyze and understand Tang Jing’s character on her own so that she could ‘become’ Tang Jing ‘before the filming started.
When Jiang se thought of this, she responded. Just as she was about to hang up, Xia Chaoqun asked, ”
“Have you had breakfast?”
She rarely exchanged pleasantries with Jiang se about things that were not related to work. When Jiang se heard this, she paused in her drinking.”Sister Huang will be here in about ten minutes.”
The ” sister Huang ” Jiang se mentioned was the nutritionist that Xia Chaoqun had hired. Not only did he arrange her meals, but he also had to prepare three meals for her. Of course, he was paid handsomely.
Since Xia Chaoqun had asked her about breakfast, he probably had something to discuss with her. When Jiang se said that, Xia Chaoqun replied, ”
“I’ll take a shower and head out. I’ll be there in about twenty minutes.”
After she hung up, Jiang se took a shower. Her hair was still wet. When she came down, Xia Chaoqun had already brought a bag over. She was wearing sunglasses and a white business suit, which showed off her tall figure. Her assistant, Zhang Chi, followed behind her with a huge gift box in his hand. His forehead was covered in sweat, which was a sharp contrast to Xia Chaoqun’s capable and experienced look.
Sister Huang poked her head out of the kitchen and greeted him. She smiled and asked Xia Chaoqun if he wanted to have breakfast.
“A sandwich and a cup of coffee.”
She stated her request simply. Zhang Chi put down the things in his hands and looked at Jiang se with a troubled expression. He asked softly, ”
“Miss Jiang, do you have any unopened towels Yingluo?”
He had a helpless expression on his face. He was wearing a cap on his head, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes. Xia Chaoqun sat down on the sofa. He lowered his voice, afraid that his female superior would hear him.
“Sister Xia called me at six in the morning and told me to go back to the company to get something.” At this point, he lifted the gift box in his hand and smiled bitterly. “I brushed my teeth and changed my clothes before leaving. I haven’t even washed my face.”
Jiang se held back her laughter. When she saw how exhausted he was, she pointed in the direction of the washroom.
“The things are in the cabinet under the sink.”
He heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Xia Chaoqun. After he placed the things in front of Xia Chaoqun, he ran into the bathroom.
Zhang Chi had been Xia Chaoqun’s assistant for more than one or two years. He had long gotten used to Xia Chaoqun’s temper. In Jiang SE’s memory, this assistant had always been shrewd and capable. It was rare for her to see him in such a sorry state. She found it rather refreshing.
She sat opposite Xia Chaoqun and picked up Zhang Chi.
“Zhang Chi must have been with sister Chaoqun for many years now, right?”
“Yes.”
Xia Chaoqun removed his sunglasses and ran his fingers through his neat, short hair.
“It’s been eight years,”
It was not an easy task to be her assistant.
The scariest thing about Xia Chaoqun was that she was a strong and capable woman. She liked to challenge herself and wanted to do everything to the extreme. At the same time, she believed that the people around her should be able to keep up with her steps. She was ambitious and liked to work hard. She was always full of energy and was always full of challenge.
“That won’t be easy.”
When Jiang se said this, Xia Chaoqun looked at her, speechless. To Jiang SE’s surprise, she replied, ”
“It’s not difficult at all. If I had the chance to learn from you when I was young, it would be my honor.” Her face was calm, as if she didn’t feel guilty at all for calling herself a senior. She proudly said, ”
furthermore, he has been by my side for eight years. Even if he leaves in the future, he can totally take on any job opportunity with his qualifications.
After she said this, she pointed to the gift box that Zhang Chi had put down earlier. Obviously, this short additional conversation was about to end here.
look, this is the gown that Givenchy sent you.
Jiang se was stunned. She reached out to touch the box and was in disbelief.
“Did Givenchy send it to me?”
“Yes.”
Xia Chaoqun nodded. about two months ago, I had mo Anqi send your measurements to all the major brands.
Celebrities had a close relationship with major brands, but a brand like Givenchy favored the top celebrities. At the same time, the status of celebrities could be seen from the attitude of these brands.
In recent years, as Jiang SE’s status gradually rose, second-tier local and foreign brands would always send her a large number of clothes, shoes, bags, and other items before the change of season. When there was no endorsement, Jiang se would return the favor by wearing these brands ‘items when she went out to maintain a friendly working relationship.
And branded clothes were generally not given away easily. They maintained their special status by loaning them. It was not easy for those who were not A-list celebrities to borrow clothes from these top foreign luxury brands, let alone receive their gifts.
All the celebrities felt lucky to receive such a branded dress. Furthermore, Xia Chaoqun had said that this gown was custom-made for Jiang se by Givenchy. It made it even more precious.
It was because of this gown that Xia Chaoqun had called Zhang Chi early in the morning to wake him up after receiving the news. He then took the gown and delivered it to Jiang se personally.
The reason why Givenchy had sent out such a message was not because they wanted Jiang se to become their brand’s spokesperson or brand ambassador. They were probably just trying to befriend her.
Naturally, Jiang se had to return the favor. She would wear the gown from Givenchy at an appropriate occasion to repay the gift.
Such a thought surged in her mind. As expected, Xia Chaoqun continued, ”
on the evening of June 3rd, Steinway’s family is hosting their 30th-year anniversary party. You’ll be wearing this dress to the party. She called out to Zhang Chi, who rushed out of the bathroom in a few seconds with wet hair. The foam on his head was still wet, so he wrapped his head with a towel and answered, ”
“Sister Xia?”
“Bring me a pair of scissors.”
Zhang Chi handed him a pair of scissors before rushing back into the bathroom. Xia Chaoqun used the scissors to cut open the packaging of the gift box. Inside was an even more exquisite box. When she opened the lid, she saw the black dress that had been custom-made for Jiang se by Givenchy. It was neatly folded and placed in the box. It appeared elegant and plain.
Xia Chaoqun glanced at it and placed the scissors down.
after the party, I’ll arrange a time for you to sign a contract with Givenchy.
