I’m Walking the Career Line In Dog Blood - Chapter 152
The last semester of middle school has begun. An Yinong had an interview in Chinese in March and achieved good results, but now there are various written tests and English interviews that are blocking him.
In fact, his spoken English is very good. Xie Jiutian communicates with him in English, but the written test is very troublesome.
Fortunately, An Yinong also has his own cheating method – let the system read the questions and turn the written test into a listening test, which can save a lot of reading time.
Sixth grade, near graduation, the classmates in the class also began to have different life directions, some people continue to study, some people go to work.
Zhang Wei and Zhao Gang are going to work hard in the society. They have found jobs and can go to work after graduation.
They are all sympathetic to An Yinong. It is so painful to study and continue to study, especially recently, it is like a thorn in the head. It is not so easy to be a rich man, what a pity.
An Yinong: …was the eldest young master when he was looking for a job, but now he is poor?
Yes, the work of Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei was helped by An Yinong. The driver, Uncle Cai, accidentally mentioned that a well-paid car repair and car wash shop was going to recruit people. He thought of Zhang Wei and Zhao Gang who wanted to learn car repair skills, and introduced them both.
The two of them are diligent and smart, get along well with colleagues, and work carefully, and the master directly took a fancy to them.
In order to express her gratitude, Zhang Wei’s mother also specially sent a box of Shanghai traditional dim sum, which is really sweet and delicious.
An Yinong is busy until graduation season.
“Tiantong completed this test very well. I don’t worry about your mathematics and general education. The answer speed in Chinese is too slow, and the English written test needs to be strengthened. Elective test Have you thought about your subjects?” After the last mock test, the teacher approached him to talk.
Before graduation, the teacher will ask each student to understand the situation.
“Once selected, I want to do creative advertising design in the future.” An Yinong said.
The teacher nodded: “At the end of the day, work hard and have time to practice your spoken English. This is a bonus during the interview.”
“Okay, thank you teacher.”
When An Yinong returned home, He Chengjue happily called again: “Atong, the teacher said that with your current level, if you are stable, it is not impossible for HKU. But you don’t want to. If you push yourself too hard, the big deal is to donate a building.”
“…” What kind of speech is this from a rich parent?
“I will definitely pass the test by my own ability. Wouldn’t it be better for you to save some money to buy a cruise ship for Dad?”
He Chengjue’s gratified laughter came from the other end of the phone: “I know you care about Dad, but I’m not interested in cruise ships. The most important thing is, don’t be nervous about the exam.”
“Okay, I see.”
“By the way, Tong, the third day of next month is your birthday. It’s your eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony. It’s going to be a big birthday and you need to invite a lot of friends and relatives. I’ve seen the time, it just happens to be After you finish the exam, it won’t matter at all.”
I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve been dizzy, An Yinong just remembered that it was his birthday a month later, and it was his eighteenth birthday.
The 18-year-old adult banquet of these high school children is usually a gathering for various forces to exchange and communicate with each other. At that time, a lot of people will definitely come, including friends and enemies. Even because of the power of the He family, black and white will appear.
Trouble, I have to deal with these business people after the exam.
“What kind of banquets does A Tong like? Western dance parties are popular now, everyone dances and communicates. But Chinese banquets are lively, and the elderly also like to eat and drink.” He Chengjue continued to ask.
“Chinese style, Dad, just look at it.”
“Okay, I’ll let Julie (the universal secret) make arrangements. I think about it, I need to order clothes and birthday cakes, order hotels, find plans, order chefs and menus, and send invitations to guests Posts… your friends, you will also send them invitations.”
“The classmates in our class plus the teacher… You can give me thirty-two invitations.”
After the invitations were delivered, An Yinong sent invitations to all the students and teachers in the class, and each invitation contained a one-hundred-yuan note, stating that it was for the purchase of clothes Fees and tolls.
Students who are not very wealthy at home are greatly moved by this kind of caring.
People of their age need self-respect. If everyone else is well-dressed and they don’t have good-looking clothes, how can they be so embarrassed to come?
One hundred yuan can buy a very decent little dress. And the clothes can be worn all the time.
An Yinong repeatedly asked: “Don’t prepare expensive gifts, small biscuits made by yourself are good. Otherwise, bring flowers, I like flowers very much.”
The classmates agreed, laughing and laughing. They knew that this classmate was a rich man, but they didn’t think too much about it, thinking it was just an ordinary rich second generation.
Finally, the last exam is over. An Yinong feels like a runner who has finished a marathon. He doesn’t want to do anything else, but just wants to sleep well for three days and three nights.
As a result, Xie Jiu dragged him out of bed the next day and told him that he had been admitted to the design major of the University of Hong Kong.
“Tell me honestly, did you help?” An Yinong immediately suspected that he had walked through the back door.
“No, you are doing well.”
An Yinong reluctantly believed: “How do you know about Uncle Jiu?”
“I am an excellent alumnus.” Xie Jiu explained, and the next sentence turned to himself, “Is Tiantong’s dress ready? It will be used in the third year of junior high, which is a few days. “
“Dress?” An Yinong patted his head, “I forgot, and my dad probably forgot too.”
“What are you doing to beat yourself?” Xie Jiu covered his forehead, “Now I’m calling a private tailor, does Tiantong have a style he likes?”
An Yinong thinks of the completely western-style suits with wide shoulders in this era, he still prefers the modern slim suits suitable for Asian men: “Can I paint?”
Xie Jiu had a faint smile on her face: “Of course, can’t our big cartoonist design a good-looking dress? I don’t know how many people praise the clothes in the superstar you drew. “
His smile made An Yinong stunned for a few seconds: “Ninth uncle should smile more.” So beautiful.
Xie Jiu touched his face and smiled: “Okay.”
“Next door?” He Chengjue raised his voice, “When did it happen?”
“…he was next door before I moved in. Now I’m going to talk to you about the dress, the time is so fast, it’s not easy to find a tailor in a while, so I make up my mind about this matter. down.”
Staring at the phone that had been hung up, He Chengjue thought about something wrong, he couldn’t help calling his ex-wife: “We Tong don’t want Xie Jiu to be a father, right?”
He was worried and felt that his son was going to be taken away by the cunning Xie Jiu.
Li Yufeng was silent for a while: “Alright, at least he won’t forget to make a dress for his son.”
A critical hit.
“Xie Jiu Nian is very promising, isn’t it good that he is willing to take Atong? Atong has saved his life for him, even for this, he will not treat his son badly, what do you have? Are you worried?” Li Yufeng tried to analyze the pros and cons.
“People are unpredictable. Besides, wouldn’t our son still do well without him? He Xie Jiu, he used to compete with our family for the share of the publishing house, so he had to Defend.”
It is obvious that there is a prejudice in my heart. Li Yufeng snorted softly: “Then you can be on guard, I have other things to do.”
“What’s the matter? Date?”
“Yes, a date. Does Mr. He have a date at night, then I won’t disturb you.” Li Yufeng, who was actually going to get a custom watch for her son, hung up the phone with a smile.
Today is another sad night for He Chengjue, but not for others.
The owner paid double the salary. The tailor Mr. Wu arrived at An Yinong’s house almost as fast as he could. He also brought an assistant.
This assistant is holding a thick stack of clips in one hand, which are all kinds of fabric samples suitable for men’s clothing, and a box in the other hand, which is full of buttons and other items as accessories, with many materials are precious metals and gems.
Tailor Wu opened the box that he brought, which contained tools such as a soft ruler and some design drawings. He looked at Xie Jiu with a smile: “What type of dress does Mr. Xie want?”
“It’s his dress for the coming-of-age ceremony.” Xie Jiu looked at An Yinong with a smile on his face, “Atong, this is Tailor Wu, who does this for twenty years. Good workmanship over the years.”
Tailor Wu was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he heard the employer mention another person in such a soft tone.
But he reacted immediately and smiled at An Yinong: “It turned out to be the young master. I wonder if the young master has a favorite style?”
“Can I see the previous design cases?” An Yinong sitting on the sofa looked very good, like the kind of child who would agree with what the elders said.
Tailor Wu was confused, handed over his previous design drawings, and waited for the young master to choose a similar one, and then he could go back and do it.
An Yinong opened the case booklet, he skipped the jacket and tunic, and went directly to the suit page. He saw the suit on the first page, a typical Western-style suit that did not emphasize self-cultivation, and was about to turn it over.
“Does the young master like suits? This one is very beautiful. It was worn by the Governor.” The assistant holding the fabric sample couldn’t help but say.
“Cough.” Tailor Wu’s face changed slightly, and he scolded his assistant before Xie Jiu frowned, “Is it for you? I’m sorry, he is a newcomer who is not very sensible.”
Some newly rich people like to wear the same style as celebrities, but the old people who already have a background like to be unique, and these people often emphasize comfort, low-key, restrained and not bumping into shirts.
Xie Jiu raised her brows, but seeing Tailor Wu had already said it, she became a good person: “The child just came out to work, don’t be too strict.”
An Yinong realized it later, he smiled and shook his head: “Ah? It’s okay, if you have any questions, just say it.”
He went on to say: “The reason why I turned it over is because this kind of single-breasted two-button men’s suit that emphasizes shoulder width is more suitable for tall Westerners, because of race, they are more Emphasizing the head-to-shoulder ratio, but wearing it on an oriental person will make it look bloated and fat.
“Probably only people with good body length, shoulder width and body ratio dress well. Just like Jiu Shu, Chinese and Western styles are very good.”
An Yinong, who casually gave an example, lowered his head and continued to look, not noticing the strange expressions of people in the room because of his words. Of course, Xie Jiu was still there, but his expression softened visibly to the naked eye.
Soon An Yinong took a look at all the suit designs. They were all single-breasted, two or three, with a lapel collar or a lapel collar, not emphasizing self-cultivation, and underdeveloped chest muscles The shoulders are not wide enough to hold up.
“Can you give me a pen and paper?” An Yinong put the case aside.
“Yes.” Tailor Wu felt strange, thinking that this young master would not want to paint by himself? He often encounters such naive rich people, and always feels that he can draw stunning renderings with a wave of his hand, and even asks the tailor to make the effect the other party wants.
But when An Yinong really wrote, he was still startled. It’s not a common technique for drawing clothing design, but the lines are smooth, and every stroke falls exactly where it should be.
Of course, what surprised him even more was the suit.
Although it is still a suit, the collar part begins to sag naturally, not emphasizing the shoulder line, but emphasizing the sense of vertical line, which can elongate the body proportion visually.
In addition, judging from the seam line of the waist of this suit, it uses a little cutting method of women’s clothing, and the waist line is closed. This reduces the bloatedness and fatness of the original Western-style suits, and looks more suitable for slender Asians between teenagers and youth.
“The back is not drawn here, but I want the back to be slit, a little slim, and the buttons are rounded in the same color.” An Yinong and the tailor talked about his thoughts, he himself did not I don’t know how to cut, I have only seen those suits in later generations, so the final result still depends on the person who made it.
Tailor Wu nodded while listening. The ideas and suggestions raised by the young master are very reasonable, not the kind of layman who does not understand random commands at all.
“I don’t know what the young master thinks about the material of the suit?” If it is a suit that emphasizes self-cultivation and comfort, the stiff suit fabric before is not suitable.
“Is there any fabric with a stronger drape?” An Yinong asked.
Tailor Wu thought for a moment, took the assistant’s clip, and found a page: “This is a new fabric, mixed with cashmere, and the drape and luster are very good, It’s a hazy sheen.”
An Yinong picked up the piece of fabric and turned it towards the light, a halo like frosted glass. His fingertips ran across the fabric, fine, smooth, soft, and tactile.
“That’s it, is there navy blue?” Navy blue is navy blue, which is close to dark blue. If the color is darker, it will be dull, and if it is brighter, it will appear jumpy, and navy blue is very suitable.
“Yes.”
It only took half an hour from the tailor entering the door to determining the style and fabric, to measuring the body size.
Xie Jiu on the sofa turned the ring for decoration on her finger: “This dress should be made well, and there should be no quality problems.”
Tailor Wu said respectfully: “Yes.” As soon as the young master left, the temperature in the hall dropped several degrees.
“What cufflinks are suitable for Tiantong’s navy blue suit?” He asked again.
The tailor thought for a moment, and he brought the box where the accessories were placed. The accessories were carefully placed in small grids. These were precious metals and precious stones.
He found a pair of star sapphire cufflinks, which are spherical, not too shiny, more restrained.
Xie Jiu looked at it carefully and shook her head: “The quality is not enough. Forget it, I’ll pick a pair myself.”
After leaving the Anyi farmhouse, Tailor Wu breathed a long sigh of relief. He glared at his assistant: “Fortunately, you met a kind person today, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to eat and walk around.”
“Hey, Master, I won’t dare next time. But what’s the identity of that young master?”
“His identity has nothing to do with us, don’t make inquiries if you shouldn’t.”
