Chapter 765 - Secret in the Dabao Acupoin
“What did he say?” Su Tao looked at Gu Rushan in perplexion.
Wearing a bitter smile, Gu Rushan could only translate those words before she asked out of curiosity, “What did you do to Li Qing’er earlier?”
“I didn’t do anything. I only applied a slight pressure on her Daobao Acupoint!” Su Tao smiled as he explained, “To be honest, she has to thank me for it.”
“You embarra.s.sed her, and she has to thank you for that? What logic is this?” Gu Rushan was baffled.
Wearing a smile on his face, Su Tao went over to Gu Rushan’s ears and whispered, “The Daobao Acupoint is located in between the sixth rib, and a normal ma.s.sage can help to clear up the channels and for liver-related for healthcare purposes. It hasn’t been long since Li Qing’er had a relations.h.i.+p with an opposite s.e.x after her menstruation cycle, so there was still some blood remaining in her body. If it’s not expelled, it might result in gynecological illnesses in the future. By helping her to get rid of it, it’s considered a free treatment from me, so shouldn’t she thank me if she knows about it?”
“What rubbish logic!” Gu Rushan only felt a wind blowing in her ear. In addition to a woman"s privacy that Su Tao was talking about, she couldn’t help blus.h.i.+ng.
However, Gu Rushan was in a good mood since Su Tao had dealt with Li Qing’er. He had vented out the anger she had pent up in her chest for a long time.
Laughing as Su Tao was about to leave with Gu Rushan, he suddenly saw a blonde walking over in his direction. That blonde was briefly stunned before she waved her hand at Su Tao. “Physician Su, I really never expected to see you here.”
Su Tao smiled and greeted out in response, “This is also a surprise for me. It’s either because we’re fated or Milan is too small.”
The blonde was Silvia, whom he had met a few days ago at the party hosted in Castello Sforzesco. She looked more mature and graceful today compared to the party. She was wearing a black leather s.h.i.+rt with a low collar that revealed her pearly-white skin. With her perfect figure, paired with her fas.h.i.+onable clothing, she wasn’t at all inferior to any professional models out there.
“You’re leaving?” Silvia looked at Gu Rushan, who was curiously standing beside Su Tao. She had to admit that evaluating her as a western woman, Gu Rushan had an eastern charm that wasn’t at all inferior to Yan Jing.
For some reason, she felt a little disappointed in his heart. It was no wonder that Su Tao did not take the initiative to contact her; this woman beside him was too outstanding.
Silvia wasn’t like other women, she would be prudent when it comes to finding friends, especially a boyfriend.
Perhaps it was love at first sight, but she was attracted by Su Tao during their first meeting. Because of his magical performance, she was deeply captivated. But due to her prideful personality, she only left her contact details with Su Tao. Even if she wanted to meet Su Tao, she still controlled the temptation in her heart since it was her pride.
“Well, I can’t help it since I’m not welcomed here.” Su Tao shrugged with a bitter smile.
Surprised by his words, Silvia turned to the man standing beside her and conversed in Italian, “Why did your show reject their partic.i.p.ation? Since they can be here, they must have the tickets.”
Revealing an awkward smile, the man shrugged his shoulders. “I’m still unsure of the exact situation. I’ll have to find out more by asking the staff here.”
After that, he waved his hand at the female staff who asked Su Tao and Gu Rushan to leave with his brows knitted. “Why are the two of them forbidden from entering the show?”
“I’m sorry about this, Mr. Rand. It was an instruction from my superior because they were trying to cause trouble.” The female staff immediately explained.
“Causing trouble?” Rand was unhappy and asked, “What’s the situation?”
Rand was Branbelia’s Chief Designer, so he had a high position in the corporation. Putting it in a nutsh.e.l.l, this fas.h.i.+on show was meant to showcase his designs, so he had an absolute authority of speech here.
“I’m sorry, it might be a misunderstanding!” The female staff instantly realised that Su Tao and Gu Rushan might not be someone without backing and seemed to recognise the gorgeous lady beside Rand.
In Milan, you could tell someone’s social status from their clothes. In the eyes of someone who knows their stuff, Silvia’s clothes were worth more than a luxurious sports car.
Every single piece of her clothing came from master designers, and all of them were limited editions, especially the one that she’s wearing right now. They’re Rand’s flags.h.i.+ps for this year, and they were tailored to fit Silvia.
Rand knew that the staff didn"t know about Silvia’s status. Silvia might be low profile, but she had a ma.s.sive family business, especially when they’ve invested in many brands. They were practically standing at the summit who paid attention to luxury goods.
In the eyes of many, luxury goods like Hermes, Coach, and Louis Vuitton were compet.i.tors.
However, if you traced back to their financial structure, you would discover that they have similar investors.
Putting it in a nutsh.e.l.l, Silvia wasn’t only his important customer, but she’s also Branbelia’s financial backer, and it was his greatest honor that she could turn up for his fas.h.i.+on show.
“I have already communicated with the staff here and they’ve made a mistake. Please have your friend stay for the fas.h.i.+on show; it will be my greatest honor.” Rand immediately said to Silvia.
Nodding her head, Silvia turned to Su Tao. “This is the protagonist of today’s fas.h.i.+on show, the designer, Mr. Rand. He’s sincerely inviting you guys to stay for the fas.h.i.+on show.”
Gu Rushan had come in contact with fas.h.i.+on for a long time, so she had naturally heard of Rand’s name. The latter was a top-tiered designer in the world, and many celebrities in the country loved his style.
Seeing that Gu Rushan was tempted, Su Tao knew that she wanted to stay for the fas.h.i.+on show, so he smiled. “Thank you for the kind offer, and we’re filled with expectations for this fas.h.i.+on show. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be here from the beginning.”
Through Silvia’s translation, Rand happily smiled since Su Tao’s words made him feel honored.
Under Rand’s arrangements, Su Tao and Gu Rushan’s seats were at the front row, near the stage. Because the photographers would capture Rand’s expression, it was easy for Gu Rushan to enter the photos by sitting next to him.
Along with a rhythmic melody, the stage lights started to flicker as a model walked out from the T-shaped stage.
Truth be told, Su Tao was somewhat disappointed since the models all lacked a sense of natural beauty from their make-up. Their expressions were lifeless without any expression, filled with killing intent instead. As for their figures, many of them didn’t fit China’s esthetics. Their legs were fine, and their bodies were mostly flat. Although there might occasionally be voluptuous onces, they weren’t bewitching enough.
However, Gu Rushan was fully focused. As the saying goes, an outsider only comes for the show while an insider comes for the knack.
Su Tao could understand why there’s a n.o.bility in every career. Take Rand as an example. Seeing his designs worn by models being praised by fas.h.i.+on experts, he would naturally feel prideful. It was the same as how he goes through great difficulty to treat his patients.
On the other hand, Silvia held onto her chin as she paid attention to every detail on the fas.h.i.+on stage before making her own a.n.a.lysis and shared them with Rand.
Rand would constantly nod his head. Silvia was truly worthy of being an expert in this industry. She managed to easily see through his concept and he had a feeling of an intimate friend from her.
After the last batch of showcases ended, the models all came up on the stage. At the same time, Rand also went up and gave a bow to the audience with the models and left to the backstage with a smile.
When he came out of the backstage, he accepted everyone’s congratulations and he even took some time out to talk with them.
“Do you know how much money Branbelia can make from this fas.h.i.+on show?” Gu Rushan smiled.
“A few hundred thousand? Or millions?” Su Tao responded with a smile.
“You’re underestimating him too much. If it goes according to my expectations, it will hit roughly thirty million. Many people here came from all over the world to make purchases, and they have a batch of regular customers under them. They will send the information to their customers, and every single one of them are fanatics when it comes to fas.h.i.+on. They will buy the latest products without any hesitation.” Gu Rushan explained with a smile.
Su Tao inwardly sighed since he finally understood the reason why Vera and Yan Jing were so insistent on entering the luxury goods market.
After Rand talked with a bunch of customers, he came over to talk with Silvia.
“Mr. Rand heard that you will be hosting a fas.h.i.+on show soon, and he expressed his interest in it.” Silvia smiled.
Su Tao knew that Silvia was working hard to promote for him and threw out a pa.s.sionate invitation, “Then, I will have to invite Mr. Rand to be there for the show.”
After receiving the translation from Silvia, Rand gave a courteous smile. “That’s for sure. I have been interested in eastern elements, and I heard that you guys are launching eastern-style fas.h.i.+on during the fas.h.i.+on show, so I would like to see if I can find any inspiration from it.”
Shaking his hands with Rand, Su Tao turned to Silvia. “Thanks for the promotion!”
“You’ve underestimated your current influence in Milan. Everyone’s discussing your medical skills and Three Flavour International right now. Not only is Rand interested, but I’m also antic.i.p.ating it.” Silvia seriously replied and shook her head.
Nodding his head to Silvia, Su Tao smiled. “Thanks for your trust. We’re now friends, starting today.”
Thereafter, the two of them performed a handshake. Silvia had a soft hand, but her palm was also sweating.
After shaking hands with Su Tao, Silvia boarded her vehicle. At this moment, her phone rang out, so she picked it up and smiled. “Joanna, what’s the matter?”
Silvia didn"t have many close friends, and Joanna could be considered one of them.
“I have something that I need your help with!” Joanna replied in a somewhat solemn tone.
“Sure!” Silvia gave a straightforward smile before she continued, “I’ll do my best if I can help.”
