Chapter 215 A story triggered by a 'paper bag' (please subscribe!)
"Xiang, someone is looking for you."
After seeing off Little John, returned to Fubao Avenue, Xiang Yang again Engaged in intense work.
Without Little John’s nagging, he can focus more.
After all, everyone in Hermès knows that Little John is always not serious most of the time, but people are like this. Without him, the women's clothing department has lost its laughter and become lifeless.
Even Xiangyang felt that time was becoming dull when he couldn't hear his friends chatting, but it was better than being quiet.
Until the afternoon, after tea time, Sarah suddenly knocked on the glass door of his office.
“Ah, okay, have you registered?”
As the fashion week begins, the control in Hermès’s designer area is much stricter than before. When outsiders visit, , some items that cannot be carried are prohibited.
It’s not that these clothes deserve to be kept secret, but it’s a sign of respect.
Their display stage should appear in the show, not in some candid shots.
“Of course,” Sarah smiled, pushed open the sunny glass door and smiled in English at the person she brought: “Please come in, madam, he is the designer you are looking for. "
A lady with short hair and a nervous expression appeared in front of Xiang Yang. The shaking in the corners of her eyes made it clear at a glance her inner embarrassment.
A pair of loose, furry sweatpants paired with an out-of-place shirt with frayed edges. At first glance, Xiang Yang is inevitably a little bit surprised.
Such an unusual combination gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
However, her eyes were determined.
Xiang Yang noticed this, stood up and greeted the lady with a smile:
"Hello, madam, do you have anything to do with me?"
< br>"Hello, designer, I." The short woman with short hair looked at Xiang Yang, gave him a smile, and rubbed her palms nervously. Her accent was also Very strange, "Sorry, I just came from the airport."
"Airport?" Xiangyang frowned in confusion.
While signaling Sarah to get some drinks for the lady, he began to complain about Little John in his mind.
This haunting guy, don’t think too much, he must have recruited this woman.
"This is the business card given to me by someone I met. He said that as long as he mentions his name to you, you can provide me with some help." The woman's voice sounded a little panicked and her clothes were bent. With scabbed fingers he took out a business card from his trouser pocket.
The wrinkled and creased business card shows that it has been ravaged in the hands of this woman.
“Sure enough, it’s Little John.”
Xiang Yang was speechless because the business card in the woman's hand was all too familiar to him. The small card with a dark pattern and a stamp is not the orange business card of Hermès, but Little John's personal business card.
Xiang Yang also has this kind of personal business card. Like Little John, neither of them would give this kind of business card to others easily.
Because besides the name, it is a private phone number.
"Please take a seat, madam."
The moment he saw the business card, Xiang Yang came to his senses and motioned to the short but strong lady in front of him to sit down. On the sofa, he was willing to spare some time for the other party to hear what little John had done.
Just think of it as a change of mind before getting off work.
The woman looked down at the sofa with some embarrassment, then at her own clothes. After rejecting it with a smile, she took a deep breath and said quickly:
"Mr. Xiang , I can't waste your precious few minutes. I heard from this gentleman named John that you have developed a series of sportswear and training clothes specially for athletes. I think"
"I want to get it. All I need is a few pieces of clothing for your sponsorship.”
After saying that, the woman fell back into the uneasiness she felt at the beginning, with hope in her eyes but more of timidity.
She didn't know if she had expressed herself correctly, but the person she was facing was stunned for a moment and then looked at her in a daze.
It seems that I have to use what the gentleman told me to persuade the other party.
"Although I am a gymnast, I still know something about flexibility and strength training in ballet dance. You know the connection between them, so."
However, what she didn't expect was that after she timidly finished saying this, Xiang Yang seemed to have 'caught on fire', her upper and lower lips trembled, "Barbaret"
Sarah was also here I returned to Xiangyang's office at an inappropriate time, holding two bottles of mineral water in glass bottles.
She wasn't sure whether athletes liked drinks like juice, but she thought that mineral water would be fine. Just as she was looking at Xiangyang curiously, wondering what was happening, she heard a curse.
"This damn little John! He went through my drawers again! Damn it!"
"Sir."
"Wait a moment, madam, let me calm down. Calm down your mood."
Walking a few steps in his room, Xiangyang tried his best to calm down his mood by taking deep breaths.
Promising his 'wife' to practice ballet with her is not a shameful thing.
There are also men among ballet dancers. There is nothing shameful about wearing those tight pants. Aren’t all the dancers in the opera house wearing them?
He didn't want to tell Little John about this because he knew what random thoughts would pop up in this guy's mind, but he still let the other party find out.
You should put a lock on the drawer yourself!
Realizing that it was his own negligence, Xiang Yang was a little annoyed.
"This guy must be having fun, and then he will let me perform four little swans for him in the future."
After walking back and forth for a few steps, I noticed that Sarah and the short lady were looking at me awkwardly. , Xiangyang felt that he was too rude, and quickly apologized:
"I'm sorry, madam, for making you laugh. Unfortunately, I'm really sorry about the sportswear sponsorship. I don't have the right, nor do I have this aspect." "
Hearing this, the short lady's brows were filled with regret.
Abroad, she didn't have much hope for the event, and after the 2008 Olympics she injured her shoulder again, followed by back surgery.
It is difficult for gymnasts with no commercial value to obtain sponsorship in commercial contracts.
With no competitive value, she can only rely on the small sponsorship from the German gymnastics team to survive while treating her son's illness.
"That's wasting your time, sir."
Putting away the disappointment in the corners of her eyes, the woman seemed to accept Xiang Yang's rejection. After biting her lower lip lightly, she squeezed out another Smile: "Thank you for taking your precious time. I have to rush to meet up with the training team. Thank you." "I'm so sorry, ma'am."
Xiang Yang was also very sorry.
There are many bankrupt Olympic athletes in Europe and the United States. The unreasonable salary structure has caused many athletes to go bankrupt. In addition to winning medals and receiving bonuses, some have to find part-time jobs to support themselves.
There are many people like this, and this is not something he should consider.
What's more, this person was introduced by Little John. This is not pretentious or unpretentious. He just doesn't want to really dance the "Four Little Swans" for his friends, so as not to lose to him when they tease him later.
At a later private gathering, this guy played the piano and motioned for him to play a part.
Should I jump or not?
While thinking about it, Xiang Yang pursed his lips as he looked at the resolute-eyed lady walking out in despair.
The fur balls on the opponent's trouser legs, the rough edges on the collar and elbows, and the business card on the thick-jointed fingers that had been rubbed by the opponent for an unknown amount of time flashed through his mind.
“She is a brave woman.”
Xiang Yang sighed from the bottom of his heart.
It is not easy to walk into the Hermès design headquarters wearing such clothes and feel the strange eyes of the people around you.
I don’t think I know her name yet.
Xiang Yang felt ashamed that he didn't even ask for the other person's name.
"Wait a moment, madam." Thinking of this, he took a few steps and chased her out of his office.
The woman who had already followed Sarah, carrying a glass bottle of mineral water in her hand, and came to the elevator under the curious eyes of other designers, stopped when she heard Xiang Yang's cry.
"What do you want?"
The woman was still very polite, her smile was a little naive, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were densely packed.
"Uh, I'm sorry, ma'am," Xiang Yang breathed out, stretched out his right hand and said, "I forgot to ask your name just now, I'm really sorry."
"Ah, It doesn't matter."
The woman shook her head, rubbed her right hand on her clothes, raised her head and smiled: "Oksana Alexandrovna Chusovitina, you You can call me Chusovitina, or Chuso.”
"She is also a great mother." After Chusovitina introduced herself, Sarah added softly, "She is also a great woman."
Compared to Xiangyang, Sarah La knew more about the short lady in front of her.
Because the call from the security department downstairs was answered by her, the designer assistant. When confirming her identity, she could not help but conduct some research on this unexpected visitor.
As a woman, after seeing the introduction about this athlete on the Internet, she could not help but feel sympathy in her heart.
In order to treat her son's leukemia, she returned to the competition in 2002 at the age of 27. She is truly an older female gymnast.
"I don't dare to grow old until you recover."
Yes, many people can stand on the commanding heights and accuse her of representing other countries for 3,000 euros, but that belongs to her children. Life saving money.
A 33-year-old veteran won a silver medal in the vault at the 2008 Olympic Games in the hands of a group of young athletes who were tougher, stronger, more flexible, and more explosive than her. How much effort did it take? The hardship?
Standing in front of the elevator, listening to Sarah introducing this lady, Xiangyang frowned and relaxed for a while.
After a moment, he said: "Dear Ms. Qiusuo, could you please spare some time and move to my office?"
Chiuso: "."
In the evening, Chiuso called the coach.
Explain that she will return to the team later. When she called, her face was filled with a longing for the future. Due to the injury, her training was not up to par with the competition requirements, but she could get more subsidies by participating in this training camp in France.
These subsidies can sustain her son's life.
She feels that she is lucky, and she met someone at the airport who was chasing her for an autograph.
"Liu, thank you for hiring me as your personal trainer. Ballet and gymnastics have a lot in common, and the movie you are starring in happens to be based on Russian ballet. I believe I can do the job."
Facing the Asian girl in front of her, Qiusuo was filled with gratitude. She did not expect that the other party would pay the training expenses for three people for three months at a time, and also sponsor herself an additional amount of funds.
"No, Ms. Qiusuo, you're welcome." Looking at the woman whose eyes were red with excitement and gratitude, Liu Qianqian's eyes were red. She breathed her nose and murmured: "Actually, Not only me, but my lover also needs to accept your guidance."
"."Xiang Yang.
At night, after returning home, Liu Qianqian edited a scarf.
And Xiangyang also received a call from damn Little John as promised.
"Hey, hey, Xiang," Little John, who had just walked out of customs and was waiting for his luggage, said in a slightly provocative tone, "How about this surprise for you? Do you like it or not?"
"Little John! Listen!" Xiangyang deliberately made a 'clatter' sound with Little John's newly bought coin jar on his hand.
Listening to this pleasant voice, the corners of Xiangyang's mouth raised in a helpless manner, while Liu Qianqian kept covering her mouth and snickering.
She finally convinced these two guys.
Hearing the movement, Little John suddenly realized something, and his face suddenly turned pale.
The money he made last time was still in the hands of the guy opposite
“Xiang, I swear, I will never tell anyone about this.”
< br>"It's okay, Little John, I have reflected that I shouldn't hide my joy, I should know how to share it with you."
"Uh"
"You know"
"Xiang! I don't understand, I beg you, please don't destroy our friendship like this?" Little John begged Xiangyang to let him go, because he knew.
"I remember your feet are 265 (size 43). I will sew you a pair of ballet shoes with my own hands, my good friend."
"."
In Russia, gymnastics It is inseparable from ballet, because both art forms also require elegance in body movements and control of power. A dancer must not only have excellent flexibility and balance, but also have the precision and body coordination of a gymnast. Of course, there are differences between the two, but in Russia, ballet and gymnastics learn from and integrate each other, and the dance in "Black Swan" comes from Russia. This must be clear to those who have read carefully in the previous article. . As for the athlete Oksana Chusovitina, she needs no introduction. She just participated in the HZ sports event at the age of 48, and the story that happened to her is respectable and admirable. Adorable. Similarly, the appearance of this character is also inseparable from the future "Sports Series". Of course, some well-known domestic athletes will also appear, so please don't be too anxious.
