Chapter 456: Chapter 447 Grand Show Specifications, Elder Carlo

Yu Ruibai was momentarily stunned when he saw the yellow shawl Jiang Lingxi was wearing.

All those clothes on the rack were prepared by Yun Chan. Being selected by Yun Chan meant each piece could be called a masterpiece.

However, only that yellow shawl had been immediately dismissed by him when he was helping his boss and Jiang Lingxi pick clothes earlier.

He even thought that piece didn’t belong here and was accidentally included by someone under Yun Chan’s team.

Until now, watching Jiang Lingxi wearing it.

Despite being somewhat faded and not eye-catching, that pale yellow was remarkably worn by the person in front of him, exuding an aura of vastness and self-assured arrogance.

Clearly unremarkable on the hanger, it now appeared surprisingly stunning when worn by her.

He never thought moon white with pale yellow could create such a breathtaking combination.

"Xiao Yu."

It was only then that Yu Ruibai snapped out of his daze and met the gaze of his boss.

"Boss?"

Shen Chuyue had naturally noticed his slight stupor upon seeing Jiang Lingxi. Walking over, she comforted him with a pat on the shoulder, "Don’t be discouraged. With my cousin-in-law’s aura, ordinary people can’t carry it off like she does. I only just realized, it’s not your lack of vision."

Yu Ruibai: "...Mm."

How to put it, it still stung a bit.

After all, the other party is a celebrity by profession, and he works in this industry specifically.

Her random pairing could rival something he could research for years.

"Don’t worry, boss. I’ll keep working hard."

Shen Chuyue raised her eyebrows, not expecting to have motivated him with this.

"Yes, today’s show is spectacular. There’s still a lot to learn."

"All packed up? Let’s go then!"

Leaving someone to watch over Yun Yi, who hadn’t woken up yet, Yun Chan took Jiang Lingxi and others from the underground hotel parking to the car, heading straight for the outdoor show venue set up at the desert’s edge.

After arriving and dropping Jiang Lingxi and Shen Chuyue at their seats for the show, Yun Chan hurriedly left.

She needed to meet some old friends she had invited from the fashion circle and check on the progress backstage.

As the main organizer of this big show, she was undoubtedly the busiest person upon entering the venue.

Lu Zhengzheng and Changning sat in the seats arranged for assistants, but since Yun Chan had privately put in a word, their seats, although a bit toward the back, offered a great view and weren’t far from Jiang Lingxi.

Changning was fine; she wasn’t very familiar with the well-known figures in the entertainment or fashion circles.

Only heard Lu Zhengzheng sitting next to her occasionally gasp since entering the venue and hadn’t stopped.

Looking at the well-dressed, elegantly made-up people within view, "Don’t tell me you recognize all these people."

"Sort of, sort of. I’m a 5G surfing pro; although I haven’t seen most of them in person, I’ve seen plenty of their photos online. Now, I finally understand how high the standard of this big show is!"

Although admitting a shortfall of hers, she had to concede that her sister Xixi was indeed the lowest ranking among all the VIPs.

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but glance at the figure seated in the first row.

Even though she ranked the lowest, her sister Xixi had been personally invited by Yun Chan.

Moreover, judging by her demeanor, she seemed perfectly at ease.

Worthy of someone who played the Empress Yuan Zhao!

Quietly, Lu Zhengzheng swelled with pride.

Shen Chuyue had just met with a few acquaintances and colleagues she knew quite well.

Although young, she was indeed a rising star, and had a good relationship with Yun Chan, so those colleagues naturally welcomed her warmly.

And in this setting, even those jealous of the rapid development of Shanyue Zhiheng, represented by Shen Chuyue, had to give face to Yun Chan.

On the surface, everyone was friendly, saying pleasant things.

Until someone asked, "Why isn’t President Shen seated with us but with someone from the entertainment circle? If I’m not mistaken, the person next to you was Jiang Lingxi, right? Quite surprising, for someone of Jiang Lingxi’s rank to receive an invitation to this big show!"

Shen Chuyue’s previously warm expression grew a shade colder, she turned slightly to the person who had just spoken.

"It’s because she’s talented, and by the way, sitting by Jiang Lingxi is my own request, do you have an issue with that, Director He?"

"That’s not what I meant." Director He was taken aback by Shen Chuyue’s stare, quickly waving his hands trying to explain, "Just surprised, really!"

"Everyone, I’ll head back now, chat another day."

Rather than engage in verbal sparring with these people, she’d rather go back and stick around with her cousin-in-law.

Watching Shen Chuyue leave, Director He couldn’t help but let out a cold snort, "If it weren’t for the Shen Family backing her, Shen Chuyue wouldn’t have developed so quickly. For Jiang Lingxi to catch her coattails, well, that’s some skill."

With those words, it was settled that Jiang Lingxi had obtained the chance to attend the show thanks to Shen Chuyue’s influence.

Others exchanged glances, two of them even opened their mouths but ended up saying nothing.

He Jing’s brand had been overtaken and squeezed by Shen Chuyue’s swift rise these years, harboring resentment was understandable.

However, if Jiang Lingxi had truly relied on Shen Chuyue’s connections for the invitation, her seat should have been at an ordinary VIP spot, not beside Shen Chuyue in the best row.

Though no one knew exactly what Jiang Lingxi relied on, it shouldn’t be attributed to Shen Chuyue.

He Jing was purely venting her anger, wasn’t she?

Besides Shen Chuyue, there was no one else sitting around Jiang Lingxi at this point.

Given these prime seats, those arranged here were all of notable fame and status.

Most would arrive later; some had gone to speak with Yun Chan, coming over only when the show officially began.

Jiang Lingxi didn’t feel bored at all.

Dear Jiang Lingxi from before had an even lower presence than she does now, naturally having no experience attending a live fashion show.

This was her first time.

Just the uniquely decorated show was something she could quietly admire for a while.

To others, her demeanor appeared very composed for a young lady evidently new to such occasions.

While observing, the sudden lull surrounding her brought silence.

Jiang Lingxi followed everyone’s gaze to the entrance and saw an elderly man with white hair, leaning on a silver cane, just stepping out of a black business car, being supported by Yun Chan as they walked over.

A few seconds passed before the silence was covered by the rising whisper of voices.

"It’s the elder Carlo; Yun Chan actually managed to invite him here!"

"This confidentiality was done too well! If we had known in advance that elder Carlo would be attending the show, the fashion world would have gone through a tremendous shake-up!"

"To witness elder Carlo in person within this lifetime, I could boast for a whole year when I go back!"

...

As Jiang Lingxi fished out her phone, preparing to look up who this Carlo was that everyone spoke of, she heard two slow footsteps stop beside her.

Sensing something, she looked up and met eyes with an elder whose face, though a bit clouded by age, still shone sharply and brightly.

Yun Chan smiled at Jiang Lingxi, explaining her arrangement: "Lingxi, this is Mr. Carlo. He will sit beside you; please take care of him."

By "take care," she did not mean serving tea or such. Purely, she felt that among all present, only Jiang Lingxi wouldn’t disturb Carlo’s peace.
