396 Face Smacking!
When the powerful voice rang out, it caused everyone on the scene to start.
Everyone turned in unison, only to see an old man standing at the entrance with Chu Cichen beside him. Clearly, he had just arrived and Chu Cichen had personally gone to welcome him.
This old man spoke fluent mandarin, but he was a westerner.
The color of his clothes looked very strange, of different shades of red and green. However, those who looked at it would feel that it was pretty nice.
At this moment, he already strode over to Shen Ruojing and looked at her with gleaming eyes. “Goddess Muse, so you are here! You made me put in so much effort to find you!”
Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched.
She shifted her gaze from the old man to Chu Cichen. It was as though she was afraid that she would taint her eyes if she looked at the old man even for a moment more.
However, the old man didn’t mind her contempt. He turned and looked at Lada’s manager and spoke angrily, “Did you say earlier that my Goddess Muse’s demeanor isn’t good? I think you should visit an eye specialist! Which brand are you from? Your judgment is so poor!”
Lada’s manager was stunned. At this moment, she was looking at the old man in disbelief.
Shen Jiayi coldly snorted. “She’s the brand manager of Lada.”
The old man sneered. “Lada? Heh heh, it has been so many years, but why is Dai Si’s judgment still so bad? I will definitely give him a call and mock him properly!”
Shen Jiayu paused.
She didn’t understand why this old man brought up the big shot of the fashion circle, Dai Si, and his tone was also so frivolous. She frowned and asked, “Who the hell are you? How can you be so disrespectful of Dai Si?”
After she said this, Lada’s manager immediately tugged Shen Jiayi’s arm.
Shen Jiayi frowned. “What are you doing?”
Lada’s manager had turned pale. She shook her head and didn’t speak.
Manager Liu from Yafang already revealed a look of excitement the moment she saw this old man.
At this moment, seeing that Shen Jiayi and the people in the surroundings didn’t really understand, Manager Liu immediately stood up and made the introduction. “I’m sure everyone has heard of the name I’m going to reveal. His name is Franklin.”
After his name was out, everyone immediately fell silent.
Franklin straightened his back.
However, it was clear that Shen Jiayi had never heard of this name before. She arrogantly asked, “Who?”
Manager Liu laughed in a low voice and continued, “He is Lada’s previous head designer, the one who led Lada to its current height. When he was in power, he was also known as the Father of Fashion. Dai Si was the one nurtured by him, merely one of his students. Also, when it comes to design, Dai Si has always been using Franklin’s concepts…”
Shen Jiayi frowned. She hadn’t expected that the Chu Family would find someone like him to support Shen Ruojing.
She immediately looked at Lada’s brand manager, only to see the manager coughing. “Mr. Franklin, you and Madam Shen…”
Franklin immediately replied, “She is the Goddess Muse I’ve been searching for! Sadly, she refused to become my goddess back then, using the reason that her mastery of the English language isn’t good enough to reject me…”
After saying that, Franklin spoke to Shen Ruojing, “For your sake, I intentionally learned chinese. Can you become my Muse?”
Shen Ruojing. “…”
She hadn’t expected that this old fellow would still be brooding over that matter and that she would encounter him here…
Shen Ruojing glanced at Chu Cichen once more as her lips curled.
It seemed that Chu Cichen had gone to find Franklin for her. She had no idea what he had promised to get this stubborn old man to come and support her.
Lada said her demeanor was bad and she was a country bumpkin? Very well, he would let their ‘ancestor’ come over to smack their faces!
Shen Ruojing was initially also thinking of inviting Franklin to China to help Yafang survive the crisis. But she hadn’t expected Chu Cichen to make a move quicker than her…The two of them actually shared similar thought processes when it came to doing certain things…
Chu Cichen, who was standing in the distance, raised his brows.
He had used his overseas identity to summon Franklin here. Under a mixture of force and temptation, Franklin had merely said that he would clear Shen Ruojing’s name. Hence, Chu Cichen hadn’t expected that Franklin was already acquainted with Shen Ruojing long ago.
In addition, he wanted her to become his Muse?
‘Muse’ was a term used by head designers. It referred to someone who was capable of bestowing them with inspiration.
Back then, Franklin chose to retire because he had lost the inspiration of creation. It was only after he encountered Shen Ruojing overseas and was stunned by her icy demeanor did many designs suddenly start flowing into his mind. His inspiration was bursting.
Sadly, Shen Ruojing found things too troublesome and fled.
After that, Franklin searched for her for many years and finally found her in China.
Currently, he had forgotten the resentment he felt due to being forced by Chu Cichen. He was so excited that he was jumping about.
But at this moment, Shen Ruojing poured a basin of cold water on him. “No. After all, my demeanor doesn’t match your brand’s ideology.”
Franklin. “…”
He turned furiously and glared at Lada’s brand manager before shouting angrily, “Who are you? How is Dai Si doing things?! Tell him to rush to China immediately and apologize to my Muse! Goddess Muse is the only person out of all my Muses that can grant me inspiration. She is my only Muse now! Her entire body brims with a mysterious yet icy aura; she is simply like a bed of creativity and inspiration for us designers! But you actually dare to say her demeanor is like a country bumpkin’s?”
Shen Ruojing slowly continued, “Yup, they even said that my aura is as promiscuous as a whore’s.”
Franklin. “…This is simply nonsense. Your demeanor is filled with a sense of forbidden beauty, akin to a divine goddess that everyone in the mortal world can only look up to and not blaspheme. This little manager knows nothing at all about fashion! Goddess Muse, don’t be angry!”
Shen Ruojing glanced at Manager Liu. “Oh, but only Manager Liu feels my demeanor is fashionable and is willing to make dresses for me. However, her brand was removed from the fashion circle.”
“Which turtle son of a bast*rd did it? In the entire fashion industry, only Manager Liu has the same level of judgment as me! Yafang is simply like the leader of the fashion world!”
After Manager Liu heard this, she was so excited that her body began trembling.
They had worked hard for so many years and barely managed to enter the fashion circle, but they could only rank last. And this time around, they were actually removed from it.
She had thought that her path was at its end, but it somehow turned around!
Once they were praised by Franklin, Yafang’s status in the fashion world instantly elevated to the same level as that of Lada. In the future, Yafang was definitely going to be viral!
Manager Liu now checked the surroundings and discovered that those customers who mocked and canceled their orders were now showing intense regret in their eyes!
Yafang was going to be extremely popular now!
On the other hand, the reaction of Lada’s manager was a direct contrast.
Her face was ashen as she coldly looked at everything. She suddenly shouted with reluctance, “Mr. Franklin, earlier you asked who said that her background isn’t good. Did she tell you her background is very good? You were swindled by her! She is from an ordinary family and…her father is merely a small-time actor!”
Sometimes, one’s impression of others was very important.
If one said that he was an affluent second generation at the first meeting, one would only feel that person was amiable if he dressed casually. So, Lada’s manager wanted to make one last gamble.
As she said this, Shen Jiayi immediately took a step forward. “Correct, you must have been swindled by her.”
Franklin frowned and looked at them before speaking in astonishment, “What the hell are you guys talking about? Her background isn’t good? Do you all even have any idea who she is?!”
