Entertaining Children

"An engineer in the fashion industry?" Zhou Jingyi smiled, "I think Rick must be doing well with you."

"His working environment, being able to see many beauties, and being able to do what he likes and is good at, of course he has a very good life." Xiao Yao laughed.

"No wonder he has been staying in Huaxia and is unwilling to return to the United States!" Zhou Jingyi said, "I don't know what he looks like now, I can't wait to see him!"

"Soon!" Xiao Yao stopped the car, and the people in the car said, "Everyone, we're here!"

Zhou Jingyi glanced out of the car window and found that Xiao Yao had parked the car next to a building, apparently already at his destination.

"Modeling agency?" Zhou Jingyi saw the name and logo of the company hanging beside the gate of the building after getting off the car, and asked Xiao Yao strangely, "Isn't Rick working in your personal brand studio?"

Zhou Jingyi knew Chinese, not to mention that the company name was written in both Chinese and English, so Zhou Jingyi could tell the nature of the company in the building in front of her at a glance.

"Rick doesn't work in my personal brand studio, that brand belongs to me and Yin." Xiao Yao first corrected Zhou Jingyi, and then said, "That brand studio is part of Yin's personal studio. It's in Shanghai, not in Shanghai. Yanjing. This modeling agency often cooperates with Yin's studio. This time we borrowed their place and arranged for you to try on dresses here!"

"OK!" Zhou Jingyi nodded.

"Let's go!" Xiao Yao led everyone into the building in front of him.

Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others also came here to try on the dress two days ago, so when he entered, the two receptionists recognized him immediately.

"Little boss!" Seeing Xiao Yao leading someone in, the two little girls at the front desk immediately got up and greeted with a smile.

This model agency is naturally Xing Donglin Model Company.

In line with the principle of "don't let fat and water flow to outsiders' fields", when Yin Xi and Xiao Yao jointly held the first press conference of the brand, Xiao Yao was the model hired by Xing Donglin Model Company. Since then, Yinxi Studio has cooperated with Xingdonglin Company a lot. Yin Xi's studio does not have a contracted model, and when it needs a model, it basically finds someone from Xingdonglin Modeling Company. Of course, such a close cooperative relationship between the two is naturally the reason for Xiao Yao.

Although he seldom appeared in modeling agencies these years, compared to Xiao Siqi back then, Xiao Yao's sense of presence and topicality in the modeling agency is much higher.

On the one hand, even if Xiao Yao didn't show up, he actually directly or indirectly helped the models in the company take over the project. On the other hand, Xiao Yao is much more topical than Xiao Siqi on the public level, so he is always on the trending searches when he has nothing to do, and people in the company will talk about him from time to time when chatting about gossip and entertainment news. In this way, the fact that Xiao Yao is a shareholder of the company is less likely to be forgotten or ignored.

Whenever Xiao Yao came to the modeling company, it was impossible for Xiao Siqi to bring Xiao Yao into the company and be stopped by the front desk again. Since the anecdote that Xiao Siqi brought Xiao Yao to the company for the first time and was stopped by the front desk was circulating in the company, the front desk staff were even more enthusiastic and active when they saw Xiao Yao than the two big bosses of the company.

"Little boss? Are you the owner of this modeling company?" Zhou Jingyi looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Don't tell me that these two girls at the front desk are from Miss Yin's studio!"

Except for Zhou Jingyi, who is Chinese, the four members of the band now also understand Chinese. Although the words are not standard, there is no problem in listening. Even though the two girls at the front desk spoke Chinese, they understood everything.

"Yan, are you the boss of this company?" Dean and others also called out.

When he was an exchange student in the United States, Xiao Yao only told Dean that their father was a musician. Later, through some things, Dean, Zhou Jingyi and others gradually learned that Xiao Yao was a photographer. A member of the veteran parkour team. After Xiao Yao returned to China, they knew that Xiao Yao had a personal brand,

With a musical instrument company, a personal studio and a film and television company, he is an actor and a director. However, from the beginning to the end, they never knew that Xiao Yao was still the owner of a modeling agency.

"I am a shareholder of this modeling company, and I can be regarded as one of the bosses." Xiao Yao nodded, "However, my shareholding ratio is not very high. I don't have a specific position here, and I don't intervene in the company's operations. I rarely come here. !"

"Has Xisi's team arrived?" After explaining a bit, Xiao Yao asked the two girls at the front desk, "Where are they? Is Miss Yin Xi here?"

"Here we come!" One of the girls nodded, "Do you need me to take you there?"

"No, I know the place!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "But Zhao Rui will bring some other people over in a while, and I would like to trouble you to take them to the place where Xisi's team is."

They came here in several cars. Xiao Yao drove faster, Zhao Rui, Mu Ying and others were behind, and they hadn't arrived yet, Xiao Yao was not going to stand at the door and wait for them stupidly.

"Understood, little boss!" The two girls nodded together.

Zhao Rui and Xu Fei have also been here in the past two days, and the two girls at the front desk know each other.

"Okay, let's go in first." Xiao Yao waved goodbye to the two receptionists, and walked inside with Zhou Jingyi and others.

When he came to the modeling agency two days ago, Xiao Yao found that people in the company still liked to call him "Little Boss". At that time, he corrected him a few times, saying that he was not young anymore. But as soon as Xiao Yao said it, those guys laughed and said that they called him "Boss Xiao", not "Little Boss". Xiao Yao has no position in the company, and he doesn't even have an excuse to change their name to "Mr. Xiao", so they can only let them go.

"This modeling company seems to be quite large," Dean sighed on the way in. "I didn't expect you to be a shareholder of such a modeling company. No wonder you know Betty and have such a good relationship with Eva!"

"No!" Samion shook his head and said, "We heard from Keith that when Jan first went to the Eva show and met Betty, he was only ten years old. His relationship with Eva and Betty should be It has nothing to do with this modeling agency."

"Actually, it has something to do with it." Xiao Yao said, "I was able to go to the Eva show when I was ten years old because of the recommendation of my photography teacher Thiel. I knew Thiel from this company, and I could be his partner." The students are also because of the project of this company, so I was able to go to the Eva show and know Betty, which has a lot to do with this company."

Xiao Yao didn't take the initiative to bring up the matter of this company because he didn't want to show off, but he didn't intend to hide it on purpose. Hearing them mention this matter, Xiao Yao took the initiative to explain.

"This company's project?" Dean guessed, "You were a model when you were a child? Because you met Thiel here, so after you became famous, you invested in this company and became the owner of this company?"

"No, the shares were left to me by my biological mother!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "My biological mother is a model, and she founded this company with two bosses here. My father was in charge, and when I became an adult, my father officially transferred all the shares to me! When I was eight years old, my father didn't want to come here again, and wanted me to exercise shareholder rights on his behalf, so he brought me here, and then I That's when I met Thiel."

"When I was eight years old, I exercised shareholder rights on behalf of my father?" Dean and the others looked at Xiao Yao in surprise, "What are you talking about?"

"Actually, there is nothing to do. My father and I have no intention of participating in the company's operational decision-making. We just attend the company's shareholder meeting every year!" Xiao Yao laughed. "Later, I also found an agent, and I didn't come here very often."

"Little boss!"

A young woman holding a folder and a work badge around her neck passed by Xiao Yao and his party, stopped to greet Xiao Yao with a smile, and smiled politely at Dean and the others. After Xiao Yao smiled and nodded in response, the young woman hurriedly left again.

"But I think the people here seem to be very familiar with you, and they are also very close to you!" Dean pointed to the young woman who left.

Along the way, Dean and the others found that not only those people with work badges who seemed to be employees here would stop and smile to greet Xiao Yao when they passed by, but also some people who were dressed in fashion and beautiful clothes. The same goes for people who don't have a job badge.

"That's because I'm the boss, but I'm not in charge of specific affairs, so I don't care about them," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Also, I'm a star, very famous in China, of course they like me!"

"Okay, we're here!" Dean wanted to say something, but found that Xiao Yao stopped and pushed open a door.

"Rick, your old friend is here, how's your clothes?" After entering the door, Xiao Yao shouted.

"Jin!" With a happy cry, a young man ran over excitedly.

"Rick! Long time no see!" Zhou Jingyi happily went up to him and gave the young man a big hug.

When Zhou Jingyi and Ruihe hugged, Xiao Yao raised his head and looked around, beckoning to the two young women in the room.

"Okay!" After Zhou Jingyi and Rick separated, Xiao Yao waved his hands and said, "You two should have a lot of time to catch up on the old days, let's talk about the business first!"

"Let me introduce you," Xiao Yao pointed to one of the two young women who came over, "This is Pei Minyi, you should have seen her before. But she is no longer my assistant, but a A stylist, she will be in charge of your makeup and hairdos this time."

Pei Minyi has already established her own studio, and this time she was hired by Xiao Yao in a cooperative way.

"This is Qiao Shan, the chief designer of our brand. She and Rick are in charge of your dresses." Xiao Yao pointed to another young woman and said.

"This is Kimberly Zhou, this is Sammy Smith, this is..." Xiao Yao introduced Zhou Jingyi and others.

Rick used to be a member of the "Rapid Dance Troupe". When he participated in the National Hip-Hop Dance Competition, he had contact with all four members of the band. When Pei Minyi was Xiao Yao's makeup artist and personal assistant, she participated in the finals of "Singer" and also participated in the filming of parkour movies, so she is also very familiar with Zhou Jingyi and the four members of the band.

Although the lighting costumes worn by the band in the final of "Singer" came from Xiao Yao's brand studio, the performance costumes at that time were only five coats and jackets, which could not be considered tailor-made. When Xiao Yao took the band members to visit the studio, he met Qiao Shan, but there was no communication. As for Zhou Jingyi, it was the first time Qiao Shan saw her. So in this introduction, Xiao Yao mainly introduced Qiao Shan to Zhou Jingyi and others.

"Sister Xi is here?" After the people on both sides exchanged pleasantries and got to know each other, Xiao Yao confirmed to Qiao Shan again in a low voice.

"Here they are, those people are here too!" Qiao Shan nodded.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded, and said humanely to Zhou Jingyi and the others, "The three of you are responsible for the style of your dresses for the awards ceremony. If you have any problems, you can talk to the three of them. I need to leave for a while!"

"Where are you going?" Dean asked.

"It's right here, but it's just another room," Xiao Yao said. "Besides you, there are some Chinese stars who want to try on dresses here today. Those people's dresses are also made by our brand. Now Yin is entertaining them. I need to go take a look, meet them, say hello!"

"You're also trying on dresses here?" Zhou Jingyi asked, "What a coincidence? Could it be for tomorrow night's awards ceremony?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "It is indeed the gown for the awards ceremony tomorrow night!"

"It turns out that you didn't just prepare dresses for us to attend the award ceremony!" Dean said.

"It's not me, it's us!" Xiao Yao corrected first, "It's me and Yin's fashion brand and Pei's studio that make the dresses and design styles for you, not me alone!"

"Also," Xiao Yao continued, "Your dresses don't cost money, but those people's dresses do cost money! Those who spend money to customize our brand dresses are our customers. Customers are God. For the boss, can I put you down for a while and go meet my gods first?"

"Customer is God?" Zhou Jingyi smiled, "As expected of being the boss of many companies, you really look like a businessman!"

"I was originally a businessman!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I sell musical instruments, sell copyrights of songs, and sell copyrights of film and television works. I sell so many things. What is it if I am not a businessman? But I only make or teach others how to make. I don't care about the process of selling. I only care about how much those things are sold for and how to make those things sell for more money. Compared with ordinary businessmen, I don't do much. "

"Those people came to our brand for custom-made dresses, mostly because of me," Xiao Yao finally said, "In this case, I had to go and meet them!"

"Okay, businessman, we won't delay your business!" Zhou Jingyi laughed.
