Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 986 0971 [Stunning the Audience]

This way——
In the fitting room.

Fashion emperor Karl Lagerfeld gave the order.

Ten ghosts opened their boxes at the same time.

In an instant, all kinds of exquisite and priceless fabrics and accessories appeared in front of everyone.

The girls exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"

“Is that diamond the Heart of the Ocean?”

"What is the Heart of the Ocean?"

“The legendary blue diamond!”

"How is it possible? Those are just legends. There is no way they can happen!"

"Oh my god, look at that fabric? Is it one of those new, trendy fibers that's the new fashion this season?"

"I heard that this fabric is made of the finest silk, and every inch is priced at the price of gold!"

“And that scarf is so beautiful!”

"Needless to say, this must be a new model designed by Mr. Karl!"

"I'm so envious!"

"I'm so jealous!"

"If all this were mine, I would be willing to die ten times!"

The girls covered their mouths, chattered, and exclaimed in amazement, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Carl couldn't stand it anymore.

The main reason is that these girls are too noisy and affect his work.

So Karl politely asked people to ask these girls to leave the fitting room, saying that the place was too small and there was no room for so many people.

The girls left reluctantly, but before leaving they did not forget to take a last look at the gorgeous clothes and beautiful scarves.

After the girls left, Karl finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Guan Jiahui, "I'm sorry, Miss Guan, I know those people just now are your relatives and friends, but they really affect my work, so I have no choice but to ask them to leave. Do you mind?"

"How could that be? You are doing this for work."

"Okay, thank you for your understanding! Let's start!" Carl snapped his fingers.

Someone then came forward and took out a tape measure to help Guan Jiahui measure her size and ordered an evening dress on the spot.

For Carl, this time the timing was too tight.

God knows how he could have suddenly received a call from Mr. Du when he was still in charge of the fashion show in Paris.

Who is Mr. Du?
Carl didn't know at first.

He thought the other person was a rude guy, a guy who liked to joke.

But he soon found out who the other party was.

Because the big boss in charge of the Paris fashion show told him that it was he who gave Karl's phone number to Mr. Du.

And the boss also told Carl that if you can get in touch with Mr. Du, you will become a true king of the fashion industry in the future.

Why the future?

Because the world fashion industry is still very competitive, it’s not enough to just be talented, you also need someone willing to support you.

Yes, in fact, these fashion designers are just like movie stars, they are also packaged.

They look glamorous on the surface, but actually they are puppets held up by others. They are glamorous if they want you to be glamorous, and miserable if they want you to be miserable.

In a word——
If no one supports you, you are a waste!
If you are a waste, you won’t be able to make money. If you can’t make money, you will always be a failure!

Carl is a smart guy.

He certainly knew what was needed.

So he carefully inquired about Mr. Du's background, what exactly was his background, and how could this big boss speak for him?

The big boss just smiled and even said with some jealousy, "Phoenix Pharmaceuticals, a world-class pharmaceutical company, is his, as are Fox and Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, the diamond mines in Kenya, Africa, and the oil fields in the United States. Oh, and what else in the world is not his? To be honest, I can't think of it even if I rack my brains!"
Just when Carl was confused, the big guy said again-——
It seems that Mr. Du is the first Chinese earl in the UK!
American tycoon Rockefeller is his best friend!

By the way, his name is Du Yongxiao!

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

Work was being done at full speed in the fitting room.

Outside, the eldest son of the Guan family was reporting what had just happened to Grandma Zeng.

Guan Yuejun didn't dare to hide anything and told the old lady everything that had just happened.

The old lady was not a young girl, but an old woman in her seventies. Even when she was dressed, she would wear the very simple cheongsam. She went to a very old foreign company in Guangzhou to buy clothes, so she knew a lot about the fashion industry.

When she heard that a foreign designer named Karl Lagerfeld came to their Guan family to deliver clothes, she couldn't help but be stunned. In her opinion, it was not surprising for a tailor to deliver clothes to a girl from a rich family, so why was there so much noise and chaos outside just now?

Guan Yuejun didn't know how to explain to the old lady, so he had to say: "That Karl is not an ordinary tailor, he is an internationally renowned fashion designer and a fashion celebrity."

The old lady sneered: "Tell me what, what does a fashion designer do?"

"I make clothes."

"That's right, isn't it? After all, he is still a tailor."

Guan Yuejun was speechless.

Guan Jiamei, one of the younger generation, couldn't help but said, "Grandma, that Karl is not a tailor, he is a celebrity, a big star! You are old and don't understand fashion."

"Jiamei, don't be so disrespectful!"

The second son, Guan Yueqing, did not expect that his daughter would dare to be so presumptuous, and hurried forward to scold her.

Guan Jiamei stuck out her tongue, pouted, and looked unconvinced.

The old lady snorted coldly, stood up from her seat with the help of a cane and said, "Girls, be more reserved! You praise a mere tailor to the sky, it's really a disgrace to our Guan family!"

Then he continued, "Let's go, the banquet is about to begin, let's all go over and take a look! I want to see what's so different about this foreign tailor you mentioned? Can he make patterns on clothes?"

"Yes, Granny!"

Everyone bowed together.

……

After a quick battle.

Carl's fashion team finally made an evening dress suitable for Guan Jiahui. Guan Jiahui put on the dress and transformed herself perfectly.

Even Carl's team was amazed.

She was wearing a pure white off-shoulder long dress, her beautiful collarbone was faintly visible, the material of the dress was so white that it seemed transparent and slightly reflective, like an angel's wings, but not revealing at all.

The hem of the skirt is an arc from high to low, puffing up gracefully, revealing a pair of slender, white, jade-like legs. The corners of the skirt are covered with diamonds, which are dotted like countless beautiful morning dew.

God!

So beautiful!
They have served countless celebrities, supermodels and the like, but none of them can compare to Guan Jiahui at this moment.

"Go ahead, my princess, my queen, my goddess!" Karl held his chin up and said to Guan Jiahui in a proud tone. "You are the most beautiful work of my life! Yes, the only one!"

"Go now! Go and stun the whole crowd! Fly with the fashionable wings I added to you! Like an elf, make tonight's party more youthful and fashionable!"

……

over time---
The dinner officially began.

At the banquet -
According to tradition, as the oldest and most experienced person in the Guan family, Mrs. Zeng gave the first speech.

Although the old lady is old, she has a clear mind. She knows that the focus of this dinner is not the coming-of-age ceremony for the children, but to use the coming-of-age ceremony to accumulate connections, to open up vital points for the Guan family's business, and to make the Guan family's future more brilliant.

It would be best if the younger generations of the Guan family could show their faces in front of these tycoons and bigwigs. Maybe one of the bigwigs would take a fancy to her precious grandchildren and arrange a direct marriage. Then the Guan family would have a strong backer.

The old lady's speech was simple, but sincere and from the bottom of her heart. She first thanked the guests, briefly talked about the development of the Guan family over the years, and finally mentioned how outstanding her grandchildren were. She hoped that the distinguished guests would be able to support them in the future.

In the banquet hall——
Several young men gathered together, toasting each other and discussing some situations of the Guan family.

As young people, we especially like to talk about girls.

So some people said that they heard that Guan Jiamei, the second wife of the Guan family, was good-looking and had studied abroad. It could be said that she had both beauty and talent, and they discussed how to win Guan Jiamei over.

Then, everyone looked at a fat boy among the young masters and said with a smile: "Zhu Shilun, I heard that the Guan family is interested in forming a marriage alliance with your Zhu family. What is the name of the girl from the third room? By the way, let Guan Jiahui introduce her to you. How about it? Consider it?"

Fatty Allen Chu was holding a cocktail, shaking it in his palm, and said with disdain: "Don't make fun of me! Everyone knows that the third child of the Guan family is useless. To put it nicely, she is a movie star, and to put it bluntly, she is a ninth-rate actor! How good can a daughter raised by an actor be? What's more, I heard that the girl couldn't even get into college. She is simply an idiot! I don't want a woman like this!"

"Hahaha! Master Zhu is right! How good can an actor's daughter be? How can she be worthy of Master Zhu's family background?"

"Yes, I heard that Guan Jiamei is the most beautiful girl in the Guan family. You will all be feasting your eyes later!"

"I'm really looking forward to it! Haha!"

Master Zhu curled his lips and said, "That's fine! Guan Jiamei is mine, so don't fight with me when the time comes!"

While everyone was talking.

Guan Yuejun, the head of the Guan family who was in charge of hosting the ceremony, stood up, holding the microphone and loudly announced that the coming-of-age ceremony had officially begun.

Guan Jiajun, the eldest son of the royal family, is the first to appear.

Guan Jiajun is Guan Yuejun's beloved son. Not only is he tall and handsome, he also studied abroad in Paris, France. He is well educated and now works at Standard Chartered Bank. He has a bright future ahead of him.

Looking at the elegant Guan Jiajun on the stage, everyone agreed.

"This boy is obviously a rare talent."

"Yes, look at this handsome guy. He is well-educated. He will definitely have a bright future."

There were also members of a family smaller than the Guan family who directly complimented him: "Well said! Looking at Young Master Guan's dragon-like gait, his speech and behavior, he is very likely to be the future head of the Guan family."

Listening to everyone's discussions, Guan Yuejun, as the boss, was very happy.

The old lady was old and her hearing was a little hard of hearing, so she couldn't hear clearly, so she called her eldest son over and asked, "What are they talking about?"

Guan Yuejun smiled and said, "They are all praising Jiajun, saying that he is a rare talent..."

Guan Yuejun repeated what the guest said.

After listening to this, Old Lady Zeng nodded with satisfaction. Of course her grandson was good. She turned to her eldest son and said, "As a man, you must be modest and prudent. You can't get carried away just because others praise your son!"

"Yes, mother."

"Also, ask Jiajun to tone down his edge in the future. How can others survive when he is so outstanding?"

"Haha, good mother!" Guan Yuejun smiled silly.

After Guan Jiajun appeared and introduced himself, several big guys gave him encouragement. Then, as the only daughter of the second brother's family, Guan Jiamei officially appeared.

“Wow, the most beautiful girl in the Guan family is coming out!”

"Yes, look quickly!"

"Mr. Zhu, you are blessed!"

Those young masters were shouting and yelling.

The scene was very lively.

But Guan Jiamei was seen wearing a golden long dress, the long skirt dragged on the ground, shining brightly. The material was extremely smooth silk, which showed off her curvy figure. Her hair was braided into a long braid with gorgeous and complicated style, mixed with gold threads, which also shone brightly and was extremely eye-catching.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”

"It's just like a fairy, a fairy!"

Everyone looked at Guan Jiamei on the stage and felt that the legend was true. Guan Jiamei was indeed the most beautiful woman in the Guan family.

Even Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian had to admit that their Guan family had really good genes. Although Guan Jiameilin was not as pretty as her daughter Guan Jiahui, she was still a beauty among the crowd.

Listen to everyone's praise.

Guan Yueqing, Guan Jiamei's father, looked very proud and kept giving his daughter a thumbs up.

Guan Jiamei also looked very proud, as if the entire stage belonged to her. The eyes of those young men were all following her, and it felt great to be the focus of everyone's attention.

Especially when she saw the most powerful Mr. Zhu looking at her with his eyes wide open, Guan Jiamei's vanity was even more satisfied.

Man, that's all!
Everyone was discussing in low voices and whispering.

"Is it the third room's turn now?"

"I heard that the girl in the third room..."

The young masters began to talk again, and then teased Zhu Shilun: “Your future daughter-in-law is coming out.”

"Humph!" Zhu Shilun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, "I told you, I like Guan Jiamei, not that actor's daughter! Besides, I don't know how ugly she is!"

On the stage, Guan Jiamei, who was about to leave, felt relieved when she heard this. Yes, is the daughter of an actor qualified to compete with her? Even if the girl is pretty, so what? Clothes make the man, and even if the foreigner came so late, how could he make her look good?
Thinking of this, Guan Jiamei turned around with a sly smile, waiting to see the joke.

I thought: "No matter how the ugly duckling dresses up, it is still an ugly duckling. How can it become a white swan?"

"Now it's Miss Guan Jiahui from the third branch of the Guan family who is on stage!"

With an introduction——
The large crystal chandelier hanging in the hall suddenly dimmed.

Before the guests could react to what was happening, a flash of light shone at the door.
A slender jade foot stepped into the hall, emitting a sparkling white light under the background of black string high heels——
moment--
Everyone took a deep breath and their eyes widened.
The whole audience——
A dead silence.
