Li Sheng thought he would just spend the night like this, but he didn't expect someone to come to his door, and it was a woman.

The women who appeared in the banquet hall of the winery villa were either winery employees who temporarily served as servants or women who were suspected models invited by Fernando.

And it was the latter who approached Li Sheng: "May I sit here?"

Li Sheng noticed this woman just now.She was as out of place for the occasion as she was.But he found this woman much more pleasing to the eye than others.

how to say?Although this woman has light brown hair and blue pupils.But her face is much softer.Western women usually have higher cheekbones, and high cheekbones make them appear older than their actual age.

And this woman's face is softer, without a long oval face, which is a bit conspicuous among the faces of all the models.And such a face looks tender.

"Please sit down." Li Sheng didn't show any gentlemanly demeanor, just sat on the chair and nodded.

The woman thanked her and sat down without saying a word.

This made Li Sheng a little strange.If she just wants to be quiet for a while, this corner is not the only one that can satisfy her.

However, he is obviously not a master at flirting with girls. Otherwise, based on his family conditions, his parents should have seen their grandson before they passed away.

So the two sat in a corner together, but they were silent.

"Mind if I smoke?" the woman asked suddenly.

Li Sheng shook his head.

The woman took out a cigarette and lit it, puffing out a puff of smoke.I have to say that some women are cute when they smoke. She looked at Li Sheng and handed over the cigarette case: "Would you like one?"

Li Sheng took a look at her cigarette case, took out one by himself, and said, "I'm not used to smoking female cigarettes."

So the two swallowed and smoked, and there was no communication during the time of one cigarette.

At this time, a person approached Li Sheng.But this time it was a man.It should be an East Asian man.

The man glanced at Li Sheng's face, then nodded to the woman with a smile, and asked in Latin, "Can I sit here, please?"

The woman nodded: "You can do whatever you want."

Li Sheng also nodded and asked, "Huaxia people?" He spoke Chinese.

"Mo Jingran, from Lingang. He makes lamps." The man smiled and held out his hand.

Li Sheng also smiled, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party and said, "Li Sheng is from Ningcheng. Now he is a farmer in Brazil."

"Then we're fellow villagers. It's a pleasure to meet you." Lingang is not far from Ningcheng, and decades ago, Lingang was actually under the jurisdiction of Ningcheng, the provincial capital.

As for Li Sheng's claim that he was a farmer, Mo Jingran certainly didn't believe it.Even if he was a farmer, Fernando would not invite an ordinary farmer.

"You run a farm in Brazil? It is said that Brazil has restricted foreigners from buying land."

Li Sheng knew that the other party was spying on him.He smiled and said, "I bought Fernando's land. Fernando took care of the formalities."

He didn't hide it. The people Fernando invited here should still have some energy.Getting acquainted with this person may be of some help to my domestic market expansion.

"I said so." Mo Jingran was stunned. "I heard that in the past two years, China's agricultural investment in Brazil has encountered some resistance. But if Fernando comes forward, there will be no problem at all." In fact, he suddenly wondered why Li Sheng could appear on this occasion.

Perhaps this person was a friend of Fernando's.

Mo Jingran just saw a person from East Asia and came over to say hello.After a few minutes, he raised his glass and left.

"Did you speak Chinese just now?" The woman waited for Mo Jingran to walk away before asking Li Sheng.

Li Sheng was taken aback.From what Mo Jingran said just now, he could hear that Fernando's energy in Brazil seemed to be quite large.He couldn't help but examine his attitude towards Fernando.I was a little dazed for a while.

However, when he met a compatriot, he was in a better mood than before, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Listening to Chinese is difficult. I mean learning to dictate and speak."

"It's good to get used to it. Western characters are basically evolved from Latin. They are one-dimensional characters that only change left and right. Chinese is a two-dimensional character that changes both up and down and left and right. There are about [-] commonly used characters in Chinese. If you learn [-] and communicate with Chinese people, there will be no problem."

The woman pondered for a while, then asked again: "You are from China, can you tell me something about China?"

"I am indeed from China, but I arrived in Brazil more than a year ago."

"That's okay, I just want to know what's going on in the modeling industry. You know, I'm a model."

Li Sheng nodded, let her continue
"The competition in Brazil is too fierce, and there are some dark sides in this industry. This makes me very uncomfortable. Someone suggested that I go to China to develop. It is said that China has attracted many Eastern European and Russian models to develop. I personally think that China has It may become a world-class fashion center. But I know too little about China, especially this industry.”

When Li Sheng heard this, he couldn't help being a little dumb.Is Huaxia so attractive now?However, it is said that some models from Eastern Europe have already entered China.Now that South American models are going to go, it seems that there is no reason to be surprised.

He thought for a while and said: "Are you an adult? I don't mean to offend. But the modeling industry has a dark side as you just said in any country. If you are not an adult, it is best to wait until you are an adult to think about this issue, lest Regret it later."

"I'm sure I'm an adult." The woman suddenly felt that this man might not be a bad person.He doesn't act like a bad guy, at least until now.

Li Sheng really has some understanding of the domestic modeling industry. After all, he had previously run a garment factory and an online store direct sales business, so he needed to invite some plane models to take pictures.But he doesn't know much about the operation of the industry, what he knows is only superficial.

He weighed his words and said: "You know, China has a population of 14 billion, so there are many models. There may be at least a few hundred thousand people entering the industry every year, and the degree of competition may be the most intense in the world. Most of them are only I can make a living. Moreover, I don't know the situation in Brazil, and I'm not very familiar with the situation in China, but I don't know if I want to come to this circle."

When it came to this, he kept silent, saying that he was already exchanging shallow words.Although he pointed to the end, he didn't talk nonsense.

The woman pondered for a long time after listening to his words, then lit another cigarette before saying quietly: "I know there are many dark sides in this industry. But I think at least Huaxia will not be controlled by gangsters."

She looked at the women passing through the smoke with a self-deprecating look: "We are models, but this kind of reception is much more than opportunities to walk on the stage and endorse. They are actually looking for an opportunity to make money, If you’re lucky, you might get an advertisement, and you’ll almost get thousands of reais for a night with a man.”

Li Sheng said playfully, "Then why are you still here?"

"I want to see if I have any good luck." The woman raised her mouth. "But it's clear that these men think that those supermodels are more worthy of investment."

As a career as a model, you need someone to support you.Otherwise, everyone walks the same catwalk, almost all have clothes-hanger bodies, and all have cold faces, so whoever walks is not the same?
Being praised by someone is fame, and fame can make money.No one is popular, there is no chance to go abroad, no one knows, and no advertiser will come to the door.It's a cycle.

Although the lights in the corner were dim, Li Sheng could still tell that she was dressed in fashion and knew how to dress up.

"Maybe it's because your face doesn't fit the aesthetics of Westerners. In their view, the special three-dimensional effect is the most important."

This is not his nonsense.Rather, some people have studied it and said that Easterners like to see the overall situation, while Westerners like to focus on the key points.That's why Westerners have big butts, no matter how ugly they are, some people think they are beautiful.Because that person's observation focus is on that part, and he thinks it's sexy.As a model, only with three-dimensional facial features can people pay attention.

The woman didn't care about Li Sheng's derogatory tone, and said mockingly: "I know. Because I'm not like other people who only weigh [-] kilograms and don't have their facial features, so I'm not favored. But what's the matter?" As she spoke, she picked up the glass and drank up the red wine. "Of course, I don't [take] drugs, I hate men, I don't [sleep] with men, so I'm a rebellious person." The last few words were whispered.

Li Sheng happened to see a man walking upstairs with his arms around the woman's waist.

He couldn't help chuckling.

The woman followed his gaze and said mockingly, "You think it's funny too."

Li Sheng nodded and said: "The peacock is very beautiful when it spreads its tail, but if it wants to open its tail, it has to show its butt."

The woman didn't think what Li Sheng said was vulgar, but instead she laughed: "A woman wants to show her beauty, she has to show everything."

She smiled for a while, as if looking away: "Fortunately, I will no longer be a member of this group."

"Ok?"

"My contract expires in two days. I have already decided to quit this business. But today I wanted to come and try one last time, but God didn't give me one last chance."

Only then did Li Sheng understand why she behaved so differently and said so much to herself.Maybe it's just trying to talk to a stranger.

He smiled and said, "I don't think you are suitable for walking on the runway. Your face is a smiling face. Even if you want to play a puppet on the runway, you can't do it."

The woman looked at him a little angrily, and said, "Are you still saying that I am too fat? My waist is too thick?"

Li Sheng subconsciously glanced at the other person's whole body, shook his head and said, "I don't think so. It's just not skinny."

"This is the root cause of my failure." The woman said with self-deprecation. "Because it's skinny."

Li Sheng rubbed his nose and said, "If you want to be healthy, you still need to announce it. Different people have different opinions. You can be an actor without being a model. Actually, you are quite photogenic."

"Thank you for your reassurance. Cheers!" the woman said with a smile. "You're a nice stranger."

Li Sheng picked up his wine glass and touched her.
