chapter 69

February 23rd, the sky was sunny.

The "Orange" spring fashion show came to an end in S City.

From the accident yesterday morning to the start of the show the next day, it took a total of thirty-four hours, and fifteen sets of clothes that needed to be hand-made were all completed one hour before the start of the show.

In addition to the dozen craftsmen found by Zhang Wei, Guan Yuqing and several other people in the studio, nearly forty other masters were found with the help of Ankai.

He even lent her a warehouse of "Autumn Color" on the bank of Nanhu Lake because she was worried that she would be busy working on the garment-making tables and there would be insufficient space at the same time. The warehouse happened to be vacant and close to the hotel. He had many garment-making tables moved there.

, so that she would have enough space and tools to work quickly.

It can be said that An Kai helped her a lot to successfully complete the show.

Three or four days after the show, she called An Kai again, this time to invite him out for dinner and express her gratitude in person.

An Kai asked her on the phone if she could bring a friend with her, and he helped out this time.

"Of course, I just want to express my gratitude." The only thing that made Jiang Weicheng a little embarrassed was that Su Tao did not plan to participate in this dinner to avoid embarrassment.

After she received the invitation message before and let him go, An Kai seemed to have asked her out a few more times, and even took the initiative to visit her, but she didn't know the details.

Jiang Weicheng planned to find an opportunity to ask An Kai privately during the dinner party, or wait a few days for her to directly ask Su Tao about their current relationship.

The time for the dinner was chosen by An Kai. Unfortunately, the hospital where Huo Xichen was interning was on duty that day, and it would not end until almost ten o'clock in the evening.

So in the end, the only people who went to the dinner party with her were Zhang Wei and Guan Yuqing.

But what Jiang Weicheng didn't expect was that she actually saw He Wen in the dining room.

An Kai said that he would bring a friend with him, and this friend also helped her this time. However, apart from He Wen, An Kai did not bring anyone else with him. This also meant that the friend he mentioned was He Wen.

Jiang Weicheng found it a bit incredible. She had only left "Autumn Color" for a year, so why did He Wen become friends with An Kai?

"Long time no see." He Wen's eyes never moved away from the moment she stepped into the box. He was wearing a smoky gray sweater. The air conditioner in the room was very warm. He pulled up the sleeves of the sweater a little.

A section of white wrist bone is exposed.

He still looks thin, but looks good, maybe because of his hairstyle. Every strand of his forehead hair is neatly combed up, revealing a smooth forehead.

Under the long eyebrows, the pair of dark eyes stared at her intently. In the past, Jiang Weicheng might have looked away. But since the opening of her studio, the various events that had happened made her no longer want to ignore it.

Just like Huo Xichen said, if these things are really related to him, he can't always be in the dark.

The table in the private room was a round table. After greeting each other, she, Zhang Wei and Guan Yuqing took their seats one after another. She sat on one side of Ankai and He Wen on the other side of Ankai. Every time she looked up, she could see

to him.

Among the five people present, except for her and He Wen, the other three had also worked in Qiuse, but none of them knew about her and He Wen's past.

She never liked the distinction between public and private affairs, so during the two years she worked at Qiuse, she didn't reveal any clues.

Although An Kai is He Wen's boss, he has never been arrogant. If he is serious about business, it doesn't seem so incredible to become friends.

There was a smile on her face, but she had already begun to analyze silently in her heart. She heard An Kai say in her ears: "I didn't make it clear before, but in fact, what you did this time was mainly due to He Wen's help. Those craftsmen, all

It was him who contacted me, and it was his idea to even lend a place for you to make clothes. I made a few phone calls at most, arranged a clothes-making table for you, and lent you a warehouse."

"Really?" Jiang Weicheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, his clear brown eyes turned slightly, and his eyes fell lightly and skillfully on He Wen's face, "I didn't expect you to help me this time, thank you.

."

"You don't have to be so polite to me." He smiled lightly, his voice gentle.

Afterwards, a few people ate and chatted, occasionally clinking glasses and taking a sip of wine.

Zhang Wei wanted to toast An Kai, and An Kai drank. He Wen looked sideways at Jiang Weicheng and asked her if she could toast him too.

Jiang Weicheng smiled, said nothing, picked up the wine glass and toasted him directly.

Afterwards, the three men chatted about business matters. Although they were not in the same company and some internal matters within their respective companies could not be discussed, they could still talk about the big picture.

When An Kai talked about market management, he couldn't help but turn the topic to He Wen, saying that he was very good this year. In addition to the shares he held in Qiuse, he re-established the company and was very successful.

After An Kai said this, Jiang Weicheng roughly understood why the two of them could be considered friends now. There are no permanent enemies in the mall, only temporary antagonisms.

What's more, from the beginning to the end, An Kai and He Wen were not antagonistic. It was Yu Sheng's "Prosperity and Prosperity" who acquired Ya Ren. An Kai, like her, both worked for Yu Sheng. In fact, the position was high or low.

Not much difference.

If He Wen caused trouble everywhere and brought trouble to the company after An Kai entered the management, An Kai might hate him, but in fact, He Wen had been working very hard to perform in front of her at that time.

These efforts may not mean much in her eyes, but they are very good to An Kai. He Wen's efforts saved him a lot of time. In the eyes of his boss, there is no difference between black and white cats.

A cat that can catch mice is a good cat.

In addition, he has now established a new company. From An Kai's tone, the size of the company seems to be no smaller than that of the entire "Autumn Color". With such a serious and capable young man, he has no reason not to become friends with him.

Halfway through the dinner, Jiang Weicheng's cell phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw that the call was from Su Tao.

She got up, said sorry to a few people, and walked out of the box to answer the phone.

Su Tao asked about the dinner, which were very common questions, which made Jiang Weicheng laugh: "Do you want to come over now?"

"Actually...it doesn't matter if you come over tonight, but let's forget it."

"Are you so confused?"

"I have a complicated personality." She joked to herself on the phone.

"I'll talk to you in two days."

"Okay, let's do this first."

Jiang Weicheng hung up the phone, thinking that he would come out anyway, so he went to the bathroom. The corridor from the private room to the bathroom would pass by a rest area. The rest area was quite large and arc-shaped, with a large display in the middle.

A large tropical fish tank with many sea anemones in addition to tropical fish.

After she came out of the bathroom, she thought about sitting in the rest area for a while.

Since He Wen is here tonight, there is no reason to just sit in the box and say some high-sounding words.

As a result, when she walked to the rest area, she found that there was another person on the sofa. He Wen was smoking. He heard footsteps and his eyes fell on her through the curling smoke.

He lowered his head and took another puff, put out the remaining half of the cigarette, stood up and walked towards her.

****

There is a small glass door next to the seating area. When you push the door open, you will find a south-facing terrace.

At the end of February, the temperature was a little cold. Fortunately, she dressed casually today, wearing warm jeans and a turtleneck sweater. Even without a coat, she could resist the cold for a while.

"Why are you helping me this time?" She didn't go around in circles and went straight to the point.

"Can't I help you?" He put his hands in his trouser pockets and raised a faint smile on his face.

"If this matter has nothing to do with you, I will thank you again."

"So, that thank you in the box before was fake?" He laughed, this time with a hint of helplessness.

"Then can you tell me, is it true or false that you helped me?"

"If I tell you it's true, will you believe it?" He still just smiled bitterly, "After all, it's such a coincidence. The day before the show, there was something wrong with the clothes for no reason, and you called An Kai for help, and then...

What a coincidence, I can actually coordinate so many craftsmen here. If I say it's just a coincidence, you won't believe it, right?"

Jiang Weicheng stared at him quietly for a moment, then softened his expression: "Thank you."

He Wen seemed relieved and wanted to say something, but she spoke again.

"So, have you thought about your purpose?"

He looked at her with surprise.

"Have you ever thought about why you do these things?"

Jiang Weicheng's expression was calm, but a sharp edge slowly emerged from the depths of his eyes, "I just chose to believe that this catwalk has nothing to do with you. I have already expressed my sincerity, can you also express it?"

Your sincerity?"

He Wen rubbed it twice with his fingers, took out the cigarette case, and gestured to her: "Can I smoke?"

She made a please gesture.

He turned his head, lit the cigarette, and took a few puffs against the balcony railing before looking at her again: "What do you want to know? Just ask."

"Did you ask someone to send the photos of Xiaochen in the UK?"

He nodded: "I just want you to know that he is not worthy of you treating him so wholeheartedly."

"At my studio's first show, two artists who were originally confirmed turned against each other. Is this related to you?"

He lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette again, frowning: "They went to a friend of mine's show that day."

"Last year, the clothing factory we originally cooperated with suddenly raised prices. Is this related to you?"

"I know about this, but it has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Weicheng nodded and asked the most crucial question: "Something happened to Lu Keran's family before and the company disappeared. Was it you who did it?"

"right."

"So those videos and voices of hers were also posted online by you."
