Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 101 It’s scary for middle-aged and elderly people to chase stars

Nigel was whispering to Emily next to him, but unexpectedly, the conversation between the two was overheard by Miranda sitting in front.

As soon as she turned her head, Nigel and Emily immediately shut up in fear.

“None of you have heard of the Victoria’s Secret brand?”

Nigel and Emily, who were silent, shook their heads honestly, fearing that Miranda would say something in the next second.

"Great, you two are fired!"

Emily clearly remembers that Miranda's last first assistant was fired by the fashion devil because she said the wrong thing.

At the time, Emily was the second assistant.

Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen, Miranda just said a meaningful sentence.

"So now you know."

After saying that, he turned around and continued watching the show.

Emily was too frightened to speak out, while Nigel looked at the stage thoughtfully.

At this time, Britney's singing had ended, but she did not leave the stage immediately. Instead, she continued to twist her body to the beat of the music and continued to interact with the models who appeared.

Finally it’s Miranda Kerr’s turn to appear
She was wearing a set of bikini-style black silk underwear, carrying fairy wings that looked like a child's toy, and with her cute baby face, she immediately captured the whistles of many men present.

Walking to the front of the stage, Miranda Kerr put her hands on her hips and blew a kiss to the audience.

It was facing exactly the direction where Jamie was sitting.

Jamie was about to observe Serena's reaction from the corner of his eye when Chuck at the next table stood up and blew a kiss back to Miranda Kerr on the stage.

When he was done, he winked at Jamie triumphantly.

So, my wingman is quite competent, right?

Jamie winked in the direction of where Blair was sitting.

Don't think I don't know, you did this just to irritate Blair.

At this time, Blair's face did not look good.

On the one hand, of course, Chuck's action just now made it look like he was having an affair with the baby-faced model on the stage.

On the other hand, Blair's mother actually asked her about the Victoria's Secret brand, and she seemed to want to cooperate with the other party.

Even the Duchess asked Blair's mother where to buy Victoria's Secret underwear.

Although the style doesn't look particularly new, it does look good on those models.

Especially the name Victoria's Secret is full of British style.

After putting it on myself, I believe that the Duke... and the Duke's son will like it very much.

Over at the Jones family, the fat female manager was quietly discussing her views on the Victoria's Secret brand with Mr. Jones.

Yes, I was talking to Mr. Jones, not Mrs. Jones.

The meaning of the fat woman manager is very clear. Mr. Jones will be responsible for the promotion of Victoria’s Secret in the future.

If, before watching this show, the supervisor had told Mr. Jones that he was asked to promote a women's underwear product, Mr. Jones would have definitely suspected that the supervisor was crazy.

But now Mr. Jones is fully confident that he can recommend Victoria's Secret underwear to his middle-class male neighbors with dignity.

It’s obvious that he has grasped the essence of Victoria’s Secret marketing.

Since the establishment of the Victoria's Secret brand, the main consumer group has been focused on men.

The current Victoria's Secret show is just carrying it forward.

The entire show only lasted less than 10 minutes, and only a dozen sets of underwear were displayed in total. However, the idea of ​​walking the underwear show with wings still surprised many viewers, including Miranda.

After the show, Miranda walked up to Chuck and took the initiative to shake his hand and express her congratulations.

At the same time, Miranda also learned the official name of this winged catwalk from Chuck.

Victoria's Secret Angel!

The very appropriate name instantly raised the tone of the underwear show.

Finally, Miranda left Chuck a business card, saying that if Chuck was going to do a real Victoria's Secret Angel show, she and Runway Magazine could provide some help.

Others may not know clearly, but Emily and Nigel, who were standing behind Miranda, knew very well the true meaning of Miranda's words, so they had shocked expressions on their faces.

If she were not very optimistic about the prospects of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Miranda would never make such a commitment to stake her career and honor.

Chuck's lips curled up proudly, and he happily accepted Miranda's business card.

At the same time, Blair's mother also approached Chuck to discuss the possibility of cooperation between her clothing company and Victoria's Secret.

It's clear that she shares Miranda's high opinion of Victoria's Secret.

Miranda represents authoritative opinions in the fashion field, while Blair's mother represents recognition in the business field.

With the endorsement of these two people, Chuck can confidently go to Bart for investment.

After all, it takes a lot of money to put on a high-end Victoria's Secret show.

Also signed as a Victoria's Secret Angel.

Chuck plans to sign all the models who appeared today.

The only thing that made Chuck a little unhappy was that due to the previous agreement with Jamie, these models could only be looked at but not touched.

It made him feel like he was helping Jamie raise a woman.

After Miranda, Lily, and Bart all left, Chris came up with her five daughters and her husband to say hello to Serena and the others.

Serena is very friendly to all five of Kris's daughters and does not treat Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton differently because of their closeness.

So does Rebecca.

After all, everyone belongs to the old-money camp, and even if they don't like some of Miss Hilton's ways, there still needs to be some superficial unity.

Poppy didn't look so good.

She directly called Miss Hilton an old woman and refused to shake hands with Kim Kardashian, the follower of the old woman in her mouth.

However, Bobbi is also very scheming. Although she does not give Kim Kardashian a good look, she is very fond of Kim Kardashian's two half-sisters, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. .

After all, one is only six years old and the other is only four years old.

If you train them well, they might become two qualified little followers in the future.

Eventually the guests left, leaving only Jamie, Nate, and Chuck at the bar.

In Chuck's words, tonight's real show begins.

The traditional "repertoire" of the bar began to be performed on the stage, but the three people in the audience were interested in drinking and chatting.

Nate and the Duchess's disconnection was once again laughed at by Chuck.

Nate himself was troubled.

She knew it was wrong to continue that kind of relationship with the Duchess, but she was physically honest.

Jamie joked on the spot that if he arranged a scene where the duke caught the duchess on the scene, it would 100% make Nate quit the duchess.

Nate was so frightened that he quickly expressed his position, saying that he would handle the matter well and asked Jamie not to meddle indiscriminately.Jamie shook his head after hearing this, indicating that Chuck misunderstood him.

"I'm not asking the Duke to catch you and the Duchess cheating, but to catch the Duchess and James cheating."

"If the Duke and the Duchess divorce, you can legitimately stay with the Duchess. Of course, the premise is that you can ensure that she will not cuckold you."

Nate was so frightened that he waved his hands and said no need. He just liked to help the Duke exercise his power and had absolutely no intention of replacing the Duke's power.

Chuck on the side looked moved.

He knew that Jamie was actually speaking to him.

The program informed the Duke to catch the rapist on the spot, which is exciting just thinking about it.

Even Chuck can't wait to see the wonderful expression on Blair's face when she learns that her new boyfriend is actually having an affair with her stepmother.

Just as he was about to talk about other topics, Jamie's cell phone suddenly rang.

Chuck bets Nate that the call was definitely not from Serena because Serena had just left.

Nate said not necessarily. With Serena's understanding of Chuck, she must know what the three of them would do if they stayed in the bar.

Even if you believe that your boyfriend won't mess around like Chuck, it's normal to call him to remind him.

Jamie held up the phone so that both Chuck and Nate could see the caller's name on the screen.

The call was from Jamie's dad John.

Chuck and Nate immediately stopped joking, and Jamie walked aside with his cell phone to answer the call.

In order not to hinder Jamie from listening to the phone, Chuck even stopped the performance on stage.

A few minutes later, Jamie returned to his seat, and the first thing he asked when he sat down was whether Chuck and Nate were free at the end of this month.

Chuck and Nate looked at each other.

Both of them had been guessing the content of the call between John and Jamie just now, and now it seemed that they had guessed correctly.

"The NBA regular season opener?"

Chuck asked.

Jamie nodded.

“Which team are the Bulls playing against?”

This time the person asking the question became Nate.

"Indiana Pacers."

Jamie replied.

Chuck and Nate's reaction to the news was neither surprising nor surprising.

Jordan's comeback in the Bulls is definitely the biggest news in the NBA and the entire American sports circle this year. Everyone knows that the Bulls will definitely "start" in the opening game.

But league president David Stern was obviously not satisfied with this, so he carefully selected an opponent for the Bulls.

The last time the Pacers faced the Bulls in the playoffs was in Jordan's last season before his retirement.

In the 98 Eastern Conference Finals, after seven rounds of fierce battles, the Pacers lost to the Bulls led by Jordan 83-88 in the last game.

In the 00-01 season, the Pacers ushered in a new head coach and successfully reached the playoffs, but unfortunately they still lost to the 76ers.

The new head coach of the Pacers is Jordan's old enemy in the 80s. The famous one can also be said to be Isiah Thomas, the smiling assassin of the notorious Detroit "Bad Boys".

It was precisely because of the sniping from the "Bad Boys" of the Detroit Pistons that Jordan's first "Bulls Dynasty" was postponed for three years.

Including one Eastern Conference semifinals and two Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls were defeated by the "Bad Boys".

In order to promote Jordan, the true son of the league, to the top, David Stern took decisive action.

He led the revision of NBA game rules and imposed stricter restrictions on flagrant fouls on the court.

It was this rule change that laid the foundation for the rise of the Bulls dynasty.

Thomas also mocked Jordan in a subsequent show. Other stars like Magic and Bird would also be hit and fouled on the court, but only Jordan would run to David Stern. offices crying and demanding that the rules be changed.

It turns out that babies who cry get milk.

In the Eastern Conference Finals of the 90-91 season after the rules were revised, the Bulls swept the Pistons 4:0. After the fourth game, the "Bad Boys" left the field early before the referee announced the result of the game, leaving Gang Gang on the court. Jordan, who had achieved hearty revenge, was very embarrassed and unhappy.

The following year, the United States formed the Basketball Dream Team, and Jordan took the lead in resisting Thomas joining. This decision was also unanimously supported by Magic Johnson of the Lakers and Bird of the Celtics, who had suffered from the "Bad Boys" like the Bulls. .

Now the 38-year-old Jordan is back for the third time. The first game is against the Pacers with Thomas as the head coach. It has a bit of a fateful showdown.

If this wasn't done deliberately by the NBA for the sake of hype, even Chuck and Nate wouldn't believe it.

The two learned from Jamie that the average price of second-hand tickets for Jordan's first game back had increased nearly ten times from the original price.

As for the courtside tickets that attract the most attention, the price has been raised to more than 3 US dollars each, and it is still hard to get a ticket.

Because these tickets have been booked in advance by the league and Bulls officials.

Even Jamie only got two courtside tickets, and those for Chuck and Nate were in the second row.

Nate looked at Jamie with some envy and said:

"If I guess correctly, the first seat next to the Bulls dugout must be your dad, and then the second and third seats are the two sideline tickets in your hand."

But he was only half right.

As the owner of the Bulls, John's seat is indeed next to the Bulls' dugout, but the second seat next to him is not reserved for Jamie.

"Really?"

Nate and Chuck were shocked.

The two seriously suspected that Jamie was joking with them.

But that's what happened.

Even before Jamie received the call from his father, he always thought that his seat must be next to his father.

After all, John's original intention of buying the Bulls was to sit with Jamie and his son and watch a game.

At that time, Jamie was moved by the practice of wrapping a plate of dumplings specifically for a plate of vinegar.

As a result, John regretted his decision and did not intend to sit with him.

The reason why I say yes is because originally John wanted to sit with Jamie, and John specifically explained this to Jamie on the phone.

But there was a little hiccup after that.

A star that John liked very much in his previous life wanted to come to this game, but was unable to buy a ticket.

After John learned about this, he gave up the seat originally reserved for Jamie to that person without saying a word.

It was only during this phone call that Jamie learned that his father had actually chased stars back then.

In front of idols, even sons have to sit aside.

It’s terrible to be star-chasing in middle-aged and elderly people!
Fortunately, John is chasing a male star!
