The next weekend,
In the biggest exhibition centre in the capital, EFW's fashion show commenced. Wan Jia was one of the organizers as well as a model for her own show.
When she took a look at the audience, she was pleasantly surprised. In the VIP section, most of the women were wearing dresses from EFW and 75% of those dresses were designed by her. Luckily, all of them were custom-made so each of them looked different from the other. There was no clashing of attires.
She was proud of her hard work and smiled. Of course, her designs had to be outstanding for so many wealthy women to wear them.
As the top designer, her show was last.
Wan Jia went into the backstage and changed into her costume. It was a maroon gown with a slightly deep V. Her earrings, necklace and shoes were all from one of EFW's new series. Obviously, she was going to wear everything from EFW today.
At the last moment, she had managed to release two series; ladies' outfits and couple's outfits.
The female models all came from Lu Enterprises. As for the couple models, she just felt lucky that both her husband and brother-in-law would look stunning on the runway. The third model was recommended by Lu Shaoting- Henry Blanc.
As expected, she would walk in with her husband. Lu Shaoting had insisted on going on the runway so he could walk in with his Su Ling.
As for Henry Blanc's female companion, do you even need to ask? Wan Jia obviously dragged her sister to the show. She didn't tell her that she was wearing a couple outfit with Henry Blanc though; she was prepared for an exciting show later.
Since this was a couple's series, it didn't matter much if she used actual couples who were not from Lu Enterprises.
When the three men appeared from the men's dressing section, Wan Jia was awed by her own work. "You all look very handsome! The audience is going to explode. You all look like show stoppers."
Lu Shaoting: "Of course, I look handsome in everything. I'm waiting to receive complements form my wife."
Henry Blanc: "That's because Designer Wan is very talented. These suits are very stunning. Of course our handsomeness just adds the right amount of charm."
Lu Aotian: "Of course I'm a showstopper. Wouldn't it be very strange if I didn't look like one? Not to mention how handsome I actually am and the fact that my suit was made specifically for me (and by my wife at that)"
Wan Jia didn't know what to say. Do all of you have to act like teenage boys receiving compliments for the first time?
Forget it. As long as your looks don't overshadow what you are wearing. Looking at the three of them, she was scared the audience was really going to explode.
In a short while, Su Ling and Lin Lihua came out of the women's dressing section. Su Ling instantly went over to her boyfriend.
As for Lin Lihua, she was lost in admiring her sister's creation. "Little Wan, how are you able to make outfits that are so different but all so charming? Your hands have been blessed by the heavens!"
She saw that although they were not of the same color, Wan Jia's gown seemed to compliment Lu Aotian's suit. The only obvious similarity was his tie color which was maroon.
"Are you wearing a couple outfits again? You look beautiful."
Wan Jia smiled at the compliment. "Thank you, you guys look beautiful too."
Lin Lihua felt something wasn't right. Lu Shaoting's tie and Su Ling's blue dress…Her black dress and…Henry Blanc's tie!
When Wan Jia saw her gaze, she stood beside Lu Aotian.
"Little Wan, come here. I promise I won't kill you!"
Too bad, it was too late to change. They were next on stage. Lin Lihua thought Wan Jia was too cunning. No wonder she had received her gown later than other models. It was all so that by the time she was done dressing up; it would be too late to change out of it.
When the three pairs appeared on the runway, Wan Jia was right about the audience exploding. The cheers and gasps were so loud that the venue could detonate. Among them were comments of shock.
"Is that Henry Blanc from country F, the CEO of Le Blanc Group?"
"Is that Lin Lihua?"
"Is that Lu Shaoting?"
"I think the woman next to Lu Shaoting is not too pretty but she looks like a perfect match with Lu Shaoting! These outfits must contain some magic."
"Is that Wan Jia and is the man next to her Lu Aotian?!"
"Wow, forget about how stunning the stunning outfits look on the outside. Just how beautiful and valuable are they for such big shots to wear them?"
"Perhaps Designer Wan is the only person who can gather such terrifying big shots onto one runway."
"This is the runway show of the year!"
"Year? You will never see someone else achieve such a feat even in your next lifetime."
...
The next day, the fashion headlines were all about Wan Jia. All other series seemed to have been completely forgotten.
Aside from being known as the designer who could make outfits fit for terrifying big shots to wear, the six of them quickly garnered a nickname: The breathtaking showstoppers of a lifetime.
In her office, Wan Jia's phone rang. Her mentor, Elder Qian, was calling.
