Chapter 336: Unmatched Status
The a.s.sistant was being treated as a staff member, but even the staff at the venue had their own duties. Not everyone had to fulfill guests’ trivial requirements.
“I’m an artist’s a.s.sistant. If you want a coffee, please get your a.s.sistant to buy it for you.”
The a.s.sistant beside Yu Ruilin said in a low voice, “Her name is Xiao Lin. She’s Yu Guannan’s a.s.sistant.”
Yu Ruilin seemed to have thought of something, “Is it that Yu Guannan who didn’t borrow our clothes? No wonder a small-time a.s.sistant dared to be so rude to me. Someone like Yu Guannan is old-school, not fas.h.i.+onable, and not popular. It’s already too much that GU agreed to lend him clothes. What else does he have to be dissatisfied about?”
His a.s.sistant agreed. “That’s right. When Chu Ling wanted to work with us, we had to keep a close eye on him first. In the end, the others got angry and said that they didn’t want to work with designers who didn’t care about contracts anymore. Would they even have a chance if they wanted to work with us? Besides, we’re not stupid. Why wouldn’t we choose Chu Ling?”
Xiao Lin hadn’t left yet, but these two people were already talking about Yu Guannan in front of her. She was furious. “It was you who didn’t care about the spirit of the contract! You were the ones who broke it!”
“We don’t want to lend our clothes to an artist who doesn’t suit us!” Yu Ruilin’s a.s.sistant retorted.
“Chu Ling is here!”
Someone shouted and Yu Ruilin stood up to tidy his clothes.
His a.s.sistant quickly stood up and adjusted his suit. The a.s.sistant immediately adjusted Yu Ruilin’s collar again and said, “Designer Yu, when you’re with Chu Ling later, you’ll be photographed and go viral on many hot searches. It’ll be best if you’re like a spiritual G.o.d. Chu Ling will definitely win an award today. If he does… not only you, but the entirety of GU will also go international at high speed!”
“Of course!” Yu Ruilin replied arrogantly.
The a.s.sistant smiled and said, “When the time comes, I will continue to be your a.s.sistant. Designer Yu, you must remember to renew your contract with me.”
The two of them walked towards Chu Ling as they spoke. This fawning att.i.tude almost made Xiao Lin puke.
Today, Chu Ling was wearing a custom-made suit personally made by Yu Ruilin. He had a more mature temperament. With his top-notch face and high standards, his aura seemed even more extraordinary. As soon as he entered the venue, he was surrounded by reporters.
Yu Ruilin quickly walked over to his side and greeted him. Chu Ling immediately put on a show of being a top celebrity supporting the nation’s brand designers.
The reporters took photos of them without hesitation.
Faced with the reporters’ questions, Chu Ling smiled and said, “Locally produced products are the best. I believe that we have to use international advantages, but we can’t forget to support local brands either. I hope that everyone can be like me and contribute to the development of our local brands.”
These words would undoubtedly get into the hot searches very quickly. Not only was he liked and supported by fans, but such behavior would also not attract the disgust of pa.s.sers-by.
The team had designed a way for him to make a comeback. It was a brilliant plan, covering all aspects.
He and Yu Ruilin were being interviewed when someone said, “Yu Guannan is here.”
The reporters were not in the mood to listen. Yu Guannan and Nan Ge were well-known, but not really famous. They had good taste and were sufficiently refined, but what use was that?
Being popular in the entertainment industry was the way to go. Being handsome was the way to go. Being able to attract female fans was the way to go.
The reporter symbolically walked in that direction, planning to casually take some photos as a perfunctory measure.
Chu Ling was already used to this scene.
As a top celebrity, it was not unusual for people below him to receive special treatment. He would only look up at the A-list celebrities, movie queens, and movie kings.
As for the matter of him s.n.a.t.c.hing Yu Guannan’s clothes, he did not think much of it.
“Hey, where’s Yu Guannan?”
“I didn’t see him. Who’s that handsome guy?”
Everyone looked towards the door and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar person. Someone then exclaimed, “Isn’t that Yu Guannan?”
Yu Guannan was only in his early thirties, but because he came from an orthodox musical family, he was usually dressed like a veteran. Not only did he not smoke or drink, he often carried a thermos with him.
A pair of gla.s.ses would usually be covering his eyes.
Today, he was different.
Brian had custom-made a suit for him. Not only did it fit him perfectly, but it also highlighted his refined and gentle side, maximizing his elegance. At the same time, he had taken off his gla.s.ses and put on contact lenses. He had also put on some eye makeup to highlight his special characteristics and enhance his looks.
It was true that his face was not completely unmarred and could not be compared to Chu Ling’s looks.
In the past, he hadn’t been good at following the entertainment industry and hated makeup. However, now, after putting on this set of high-end, custom-made clothes, he had started to realize that he could surpa.s.s his previous self, so he agreed to take off his gla.s.ses and apply some eye makeup.
It was just a slight change, but his extraordinary elegance was highlighted.
Compared to Chu Ling, although he was not as handsome as him, he was more charismatic. The elegance that time had brought to him was also very obvious.
The reporters’ cameras were one of the things that could provide proof of this.
When someone finally realized what was going on, a series of cracking sounds could be heard.
Yu Ruilin glanced at Yu Guannan and his expression changed slightly.
Previously, when Yu Guannan had gone to borrow clothes, Yu Ruilin hadn’t taken it to heart and had casually chosen a set for him. The effect of wearing it then was very different to now.
It was obvious that Yu Guannan’s current characteristics were enhanced by this set of clothes.
Yu Ruilin’s a.s.sistant said in a low voice, “I don’t know which big brand that is, but they’re actually willing to lend him their clothes?”
They must be really blind.
Chu Ling could tell that Yu Guannan was different today. However, so what if he was different? Yu Guannan’s team was just as inflexible as he was. They did not like to create hype and would not really win an award today. No matter what, this was just for this moment.
Xiao Lin ran up to Yu Guannan and whispered, “Teacher Yu, your seat is over there. You’re so handsome today!”
“Is that so?” He subconsciously adjusted his nonexistent gla.s.ses and chuckled.
“Come on, let’s go.”
“I’ll wait for s.h.i.+ Jin and Zehan.”
Xiao Lin said happily, “Are they late?”
“I heard that s.h.i.+ Jin will be arriving soon!” a reporter said. “She’s with Brian!”
The reporters immediately ran in that direction.
Yu Ruilin frowned. Why was Brian coming over today?
