My girlfriend is from the future!

The fact that the "lead singer" and Wen Liang parted on bad terms was something the "writer" hadn't expected.

The above sentence may seem strange, since aside from Wen Liang, whether it's the subject or the object, it actually refers to the same person: He Tianran.

However, Wen Liang's angry accusation may have inadvertently touched upon a fact—

The chaotic state of He Tianran's body may have actually improved without him even realizing it.

Admittedly, if the "writer" were handling this matter, he might not have valued Wen Liang's future as much as the "lead singer," going so far as to lower himself to plan such a flexible path for her.

However, just because the "writer" doesn't do it doesn't mean he can't. Being prepared for a rainy day is a common trait of "He Tianran". In fact, the "writer" had already used the same trick in front of Yu Naoqiu, defining himself as a cynical playboy. But the two had different purposes. The former was to "lure the enemy into a trap", while the "lead singer" was genuinely "open and honest" in front of Wen Liang.

The same strategy and the same actions can yield completely opposite results in different people.

The variables that influence this are simply the two women's varying degrees of affection for He Tianran and their connection to the word "love," and vice versa.

So when the "writer" awoke again in He Tianran's body and reminisced about everything he had just experienced, he felt a sense of melancholy.

The "writer" might not do that, but he could understand why the "lead singer" did it...

A silent consensus is growing deep within these broken souls.

They are indeed... irreversibly moving closer to that original, most complete "He Tianran," picking up some of their shared traits.

……

……

Time has come, and a new week has begun.

The next time they met Wen Liang was at Gangcheng Airport. They were about to board He Panshan's private jet to go to Shanghai to attend Bulgari's jewelry gala.

However, Wen Liang was not the only one accompanying He Tianran this time. In addition to Wu Xiao, who was already by the man's side, and his agent Li Lan, Bai Wenyu and Yu Naoqiu, who were also invited by the brand, were also present.

Since leaving Chenchen Club last time, Yu Naoqiu hasn't seen He Tianran for a while. Because He Yuanchong's project in Haigang District is about to start, her father, Yu Yaozu, is very concerned. Since it concerns the family's interests, she can't get too close to He Tianran as easily as before. Moreover, the matter of compensation for Bailingye has not yet been settled. So, sitting on the sidelines and watching the tigers fight is her best choice at the moment.

"She really is a woman who knows how to seek advantage and avoid harm."

Wearing a Chrome Hearts leather jacket and pants, He Tianran stood in front of his private jet, watching Yu Naoqiu and Bai Wenyu walk over chatting. He muttered something casually to himself.

Standing behind him, Wu Xiao, dressed in a black suit, kept his eyes down, remaining silent.

"Brother Natural~ You look so young today~"

Upon approaching, Yu Naoqiu greeted him in a tone befitting a girl next door with whom one has a good relationship.

Do I usually look that old-fashioned?

He Tianran responded, saying that he usually dresses formally for work, and this American casual style is indeed quite rare when he's not in private.

"mom."

He turned and called out to Bai Wenyu. Behind his sunglasses, Bai Wenyu looked his son up and down, gave a soft "hmm" sound, and instructed:
"I may have to return to the port city overnight after the banquet. If the brand has any other communication, you can arrange it for me."

"it is good."

The mother and son's communication style, where it was as if they were not worth saying an extra word, left a deep impression on Yu Naoqiu, who was standing nearby.

Only after the two women had walked past him did He Tianran turn around and add:
"A makeup artist is on board. If you two want to sleep on the plane, you can do your makeup when you get to the hotel."

"Got it, Brother Tianran."

Yu Naoqiu thanked him, and Bai Wenyu went directly into the cabin.

After receiving the two women, Li Lan, Wen Liang, and their assistant approached from a distance. Li Lan was on the phone, seemingly in a hurry, while Wen Liang and her assistant were chatting and laughing, dragging two suitcases.

As they approached, the three stopped. Li Lan covered the phone receiver with one hand and said to Wen Liang:

"Ah Liang, you and your assistant go on the plane first. I need to talk to Director He about something."

"Oh."

Wen Liang responded and, without even glancing at He Tianran, followed her assistant up the gangway with her luggage. However, the suitcase she was carrying was quite large, probably containing the dress she would be wearing that evening. Although she had an assistant, she didn't seem to be pushing all the heavy items onto the young woman. Moreover, it looked like her suitcase was even heavier than her assistant's.

"Brother Wu."

He Tianran called out, and Wu Xiao behind him already understood. Almost at the same time, he turned around, took Wen Liang's hand that was carrying the luggage, and took the heavy load from her. "Xiao Wen, let me do it."

"Thanks, Brother Wu. How's it going? Are you settling in well at work?"

"Of course, Mr. He was very kind to me. We chatted on the plane..."

“You know what, my dad told me before…”

Behind him, the voices faded into the distance. He Tianran looked at Li Lan, who was still standing in front of him with a troubled expression, and spoke calmly:
"what happened?"

"There's a problem with the warm and cool clothing..."

The man turned his head slightly, saw the figures of the group disappearing into the gate, and said:

"Didn't she have two large suitcases?"

“Those were her own… well, I told her to bring them after the incident, but… hers might not be up to Bulgari’s standards.”

This time, Wen Liang attended a high-end luxury brand gala, not a fashion magazine event. Even though it had a red carpet, it still provided good exposure and business communication opportunities for the artist. But frankly speaking, the artist was just a salesperson at this event, a walking display stand. This was clearly stated in the contract. On the other hand, people like Yu Naoqiu and Bai Wenyu were Bulgari's key clients for this event.

Moreover, it's important to know that at events like the Bulgari High Jewelry Gala, it's almost a given that celebrities wear in-season or out-of-season haute couture gowns. This is not only a matter of aesthetics but also a direct reflection of their fashion resources and industry status. The high jewelry that Wen Liang is showcasing this time has very strict requirements for the tailoring and design of the clothing, because it's necessary to highlight the jewelry through appropriate skin exposure and a simple silhouette, rather than letting it overshadow the jewelry.

What's embarrassing is that Wen Liang doesn't currently have any high-end luxury brand endorsements. But this is actually the awkward situation faced by most domestic artists. After all, it's not easy to become an ambassador for high-end luxury brands. Moreover, these luxury brands usually give domestic artists titles like "brand friend" or "partner." If you want to borrow clothes to attend events, it's all for nothing if you're not high-profile enough.

Currently, He Tianran's agency only has one artist with high-end luxury brand endorsements, and that is Bai Lingye.

However, the brand she endorses, Mimotoki, is a high-end jewelry brand on par with Bulgari. This was obtained for her by Bai Wenyu after she returned to China, and Bai Lingye certainly wouldn't attend such a rival dinner party.

"So, which clothing brand did they arrange for her this time?"

"Dior".

Why did the other party suddenly change their mind?

Faced with this question, Li Lan hesitated for a moment:
"Uh... At first, the talks went well. They felt that Wen Liang fit their brand image very well. But after the recent episode of 'A Day in the Life' aired, they felt that Wen Liang's performance on the show was a bit... opportunistic and a bit... degrading."

"That's what they said?"

He Tianran frowned.

"No, no, no... it was something like that implied in the conversation of polite refusal..."

Li Lan was afraid that she had said something wrong, so she quickly corrected herself.

It's not easy for high-end luxury brands to borrow clothing. Even celebrities have to make appointments. Moreover, whether the size, style, and cut meet Bulgari's and Wen Liang's own conditions is still uncertain. This time, the clothing brand's reneging has really put Wen Liang in an extremely awkward position.

He Tianran looked at Li Lan's hand, which was still covering the phone's microphone, and asked again:
Are you still communicating with Dior?

Li Lan nodded and said, "Yes, I said that program was planned by you, Director He. If you personally spoke to the person in charge, there might still be a chance for a turnaround. What do you think...?"

She handed over the phone; the microphone wasn't covered, and the sound was crystal clear. He Tianran didn't even glance at it, but coldly said to Li Lan:

"Tell them that from this moment on, all artists under our company will terminate all cooperation with Dior. In addition, on the surfing platform, any future posts by artists that showcase content related to the brand will not receive any proactive promotion from the platform's algorithm. Listen carefully, this is not a ban, it's just that the Dior brand is not in line with the tone of our platform and is not suitable for promotion."

The man paused slightly, giving Li Lan time to process this astonishing instruction, before speaking in an approachable tone:

"Sister Lan, let's hang up and get on the plane, it's getting late."

After saying that, he turned around, his black leather jacket drawing a cold, hard arc, and stepped onto the gangway.

"Hello—Sister Lan? Hello, hello—Sister Lan?"

Li Lan stood frozen in place, holding her phone, listening to the anxious shouts still coming from the receiver. She was stunned for a good three or four seconds.

Immediately, an indescribable feeling of relief dispelled her previous anxiety. Almost with a sense of triumphant satisfaction, she decisively pressed the hang-up button.

Wow, it feels so good to have a big company backing you up!
Li Lan thought to herself silently.

She composed herself and lightly climbed the gangway.

Inside the cabin, luxury and tranquility coexist.

He Tianran had already taken his seat. A turbulent undercurrent of fashion, resources, power, and subtle interpersonal relationships had just been carried into the air at ten thousand meters altitude with the takeoff of the plane. (End of Chapter)
