After I died, they cried in the live studio

Chapter 152 Celebration Banquet

Alice took the design sketches, examined them carefully, and nodded slightly, her eyes revealing appreciation: "The overall feel is good. The cotton and linen material suits Shuwan's everyday style perfectly, being comfortable and natural. However, I suggest simplifying the accessories. When Shuwan attends events, her outfits are usually not too complicated; simple, elegant, and unique is best. For example, this metal brooch could be replaced with a small, more stylish pin, which would be a perfect finishing touch without being too cumbersome. Also, this metal necklace could have smoother lines to create a more harmonious match with the rustic feel of the cotton and linen material."

Yi Shuqi listened and nodded, quickly picking up a pen to write notes next to the drawing, muttering, "Thank you so much, Sister Alice. Your guidance has made my thinking much clearer. Your eye for fashion and aesthetics is truly unique. No wonder Sang Shuwan's appearances are always so stunning."

After finishing her notes, Yi Shuqi put down her pen. As if suddenly remembering something, her expression changed slightly. She said, "Sister Alice, speaking of which, I saw an interview with Sang Jiyue in the media before, and I felt she had changed a lot. When I ran into her before, her attitude was terrible, and I had a very bad impression of her. At that time, I was backstage at a fashion event, busy adjusting the models' clothing. When she passed by, she glanced at me with eyes full of disdain. When I greeted her, she just snorted and ignored me. Later, I accidentally blocked her way, and she started making sarcastic remarks, her words radiating a sense of superiority, which made me feel extremely embarrassed."

Alice sighed softly, leaning back on the sofa, her expression complex, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes: "She has indeed toned down a lot compared to before and is trying to change her image, but the negative news from before had too much of an impact. It's hard to say whether the audience can completely let go of their prejudices. The entertainment industry changes too quickly, and the competition is so fierce. Even if she has the talent, it will take a lot of effort to regain her footing. She was too young and impetuous before and offended a lot of people. Now that she's suffered, she's learned to be more restrained."

Yi Shuqi said thoughtfully, "That's true. I felt that she really wanted to make changes and prove herself again after reading what she said in the interview. When she talked about her past experiences and her plans for the future, she seemed much more mature. Moreover, when she answered questions, her thinking was very clear and she was very tactful. She was completely different from the arrogant and domineering person I knew before. I hope she can really turn over a new leaf this time."

Alice smiled, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Yes, ups and downs are common in the entertainment industry. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Let's focus on the present and discuss the designs together when Shuwan comes back, striving to make this collaboration perfect. Shuwan has always been very particular about her image and style, and this collaboration is a great opportunity for both her and you."

Yi Shuqi nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with determination and anticipation: "Okay, I can't wait to talk to Sang Shuwan. I'm sure we'll spark even more inspiration! I'll go back and refine the design draft according to what we discussed. By the way, Alice, besides filming and attending events, does Sang Shuwan have any special hobbies or style preferences? I'd like to know more so that the design can better reflect her personality."

Alice pondered for a moment and said, "Shu Wan usually enjoys reading and traveling. She has a rich inner world, so you can incorporate some story-like elements into your designs. She's also very interested in traditional culture, so if you can cleverly use some traditional elements in your designs, it might surprise her. Also, although her style is simple, she has high standards for detail, such as the tailoring of the clothes and the treatment of the stitching. These small details cannot be taken lightly."

Yi Shuqi listened attentively, taking all the information to heart, and occasionally asked questions to discuss things further with Alice. The two chatted back and forth like this, and before they knew it, a long time had passed.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting golden dappled patterns on the floor, their positions shifting slowly with time. Yi Shuqi and Alice were engrossed in their design discussion, completely oblivious to the passage of time. From fabric selection and color matching to style innovation, they paid meticulous attention to every detail.

Alice also shared some examples of Sang Shuwan's outfits from previous events, analyzing what she did well and what could be improved. Yi Shuqi listened with great interest, occasionally taking out her phone to take pictures of important parts as reference for her future designs.

When Yi Shuqi asked about Sang Shuwan's outfit requirements for different occasions, Alice described in detail the characteristics and requirements of each event. For example, award ceremonies need to be glamorous and grand, fashion parties can be more personalized and creative, while charity events should reflect warmth and approachability.

Based on this information, Yi Shuqi conceived new design plans in her mind. Her eyes sparkled with inspiration, as if she could already see the amazing effect of those clothes on Sang Shuwan.

Before they knew it, it was noon, and the sun was getting even hotter. Alice checked the time and said, "Xiao Yi, it's already noon. Why don't we go have lunch first? We can continue our chat when Shu Wan comes back."

Yi Shuqi then realized how quickly time had passed and quickly said, "Okay, Sister Alice, then I'll trouble you to make the arrangements. I've really learned a lot today. After talking with you so much, I have even more confidence in this design."

The two women got up, left the reception room, and headed to a restaurant near the studio. Along the way, they continued their discussion about design and interesting stories from the entertainment industry, their laughter echoing down the corridor. At the restaurant, they ordered several light and delicious dishes, eating and chatting in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

After lunch, the two returned to the studio, but Sang Shuwan still hadn't come back. However, Yi Shuqi wasn't in a hurry. She used this time to organize and summarize the content discussed in the morning, and also made more detailed annotations on some of the design drafts.

After a while, the studio door finally opened, and Sang Shuwan walked in. She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and blue jeans, her hair was casually tied into a ponytail, and she had a friendly smile on her face. She looked fresh and natural.

Alice and Yi Shuqi quickly got up to greet them. Sang Shuwan walked over quickly, took Yi Shuqi's hand, and said, "I'm sorry, Yi, for keeping you waiting. There was a sudden problem with the new drama, and the director and I discussed it for a long time."

Yi Shuqi smiled and said, "It's okay, Sang Shuwan, I'm already very happy to see you. Besides, I just had a long chat with Sister Alice and learned a lot."

So, the three of them sat around the coffee table and began to formally discuss the collaborative design plan. Yi Shuqi introduced her design ideas and works in detail, and Sang Shuwan listened attentively, occasionally offering her own thoughts and suggestions.

Sang Shuwan pointed to one of the dresses and said, "I think the design of this dress is very creative, but I'm wondering if adding some lace trim to the neckline would better highlight the femininity of the wearer?"

Yi Shuqi's eyes lit up, and she said, "That's a good idea, Sang Shuwan. Lace trim can add to the dress's sophistication, and when paired with satin fabric, it will definitely create a unique charm. I'll go back and make some changes."

Next, they discussed several other outfits, exchanging in-depth views on every detail, from styles to accessories. During the discussion, Yi Shuqi sensed Sang Shuwan's unique insights into fashion and her passion for clothing, which further strengthened her resolve to design the perfect outfit for Sang Shuwan.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and the afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the windows into the studio, bathing the entire room in a golden hue. After an afternoon of discussions, the design plan was basically finalized, and Yi Shuqi, Sang Shuwan, and Alice were all full of confidence in this collaboration.

Yi Shuqi tidied up the design drafts, stood up, and said, "Sang Shuwan, Sister Alice, thank you so much for today. I'll start making the sample garments when I get back, and I'll keep in touch with you if there are any problems."

Sang Shuwan smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, I should be thanking you. Your design is very talented, and I believe this collaboration will be a great success."

Alice added, "Yes, Xiao Yi, I'm looking forward to your sample garment. Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help."

Yi Shuqi bid farewell to Sang Shuwan and Alice, and walked out of the studio. She felt exceptionally cheerful, clutching the design draft tightly in her hand as if holding her own dream. She knew that this collaboration with Sang Shuwan would be a significant opportunity in her career, and she would give it her all to live up to everyone's expectations.

Walking down the street at sunset, Yi Shuqi gazed at the magnificent evening glow on the horizon, her heart filled with anticipation for the future. She believed that in the near future, when Sang Shuwan appeared at various events wearing her designs, she would undoubtedly become the center of attention, and she herself would shine even brighter on the fashion stage.

Night fell like a vast black ribbon, gently covering the entire city, yet unable to conceal the dazzling light emanating from the magnificent building in the city center. Tonight, the grandest event in the fashion world would be held here, attracting the attention of the global fashion community, with celebrities, designers, fashionistas, and media reporters gathering in droves.

Sang Jiyue sat in the van, carefully examining herself in the makeup mirror. She wore a bespoke evening gown designed by an internationally renowned designer, a true work of art with an astonishingly high price tag. The pure black, top-grade silk fabric gleamed with a cold, noble sheen, like the most mysterious black hole in the night sky, capable of drawing all eyes deep into it. The gown was adorned with countless tiny rhinestones, each carefully selected and set into intricate and magnificent patterns. With every slight movement of hers, these rhinestones sparkled with dazzling brilliance, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

The exaggerated, layered skirt resembled a black flower in full bloom, each layer meticulously edged with delicate lace, adding a touch of refinement and femininity to the otherwise aloof gown. The high slit was bold and sexy, perfectly showcasing her long, straight legs, whose skin appeared even whiter against the black dress. Her makeup was also meticulously crafted by a top-tier makeup artist; cool-toned eyeshadow accentuated her deep-set eyes, making them even more alluring, while her fiery red lips were slightly upturned, carrying a hint of confident and arrogant smile.

"Jiyue, you'll definitely be the most dazzling presence tonight. I went to great lengths to secure these resources for you, so you absolutely can't let me down," said Manager Qi, sitting beside her, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation as he whispered his advice. Manager Qi is a renowned top agent in the entertainment industry, known for his ruthless methods and extensive connections. He has invested a great deal of resources and energy into promoting Sang Jiyue.

Sang Jiyue slightly raised her chin, her eyes gleaming with a determined light, her tone full of confidence: "Don't worry, President Qi, tonight's entire party will be my stage. I will definitely make everyone remember me and return to the peak of the entertainment industry."

The van slowly pulled up in front of the red carpet at the gala. The door opened gently, and Sang Jiyue took a deep breath and gracefully stepped out. Instantly, the previously noisy scene ignited. Fans screamed her name wildly, waving their support signs in a dazzling display. Media reporters swarmed forward, their cameras clicking incessantly, flashes enveloping Sang Jiyue in a sea of ​​light.

"Sang Jiyue, look this way!"

"Jiyue, smile!"

"This way, this way!"

Sang Jiyue handled everything with practiced ease, walking confidently down the red carpet and striking various elegant and captivating poses. Sometimes she would gently toss her hair, revealing her fair neck; sometimes she would slightly turn her body to showcase the perfect tailoring of her gown; and sometimes she would flash a radiant smile at the camera, revealing her pearly white teeth. Every movement was perfectly executed, as if it were a dance rehearsed countless times, displaying her charm to the fullest.

During a media interview, Sang Jiyue spoke candidly: "I'm truly grateful to my team, especially President Qi, for allowing me to wear such a stunning gown to the gala. They've done so much for me. I also hope that through this gala, everyone can see my growth and hard work, and I will bring you more excellent works in the future." Her answer was both appropriate and clever, expressing gratitude to her team while also promoting herself, which earned a satisfied nod from President Qi. However, just as Sang Jiyue was basking in the admiration and praise of the crowd, a low-key yet luxurious black sedan slowly drove into view. The media reporters present instinctively turned their attention to the car, a vague premonition that another important guest was about to appear.

The car door slowly opened, and a foot in an exquisite high heel stepped out first. Then, Sang Shuwan gracefully stepped out of the car. The evening gown she wore instantly caused everyone in the room to hold their breath. It was a design tailor-made for her by Yi Shuqi, embodying the young designer's countless efforts and creativity.

The dress was predominantly pale pink, a gentle and captivating color reminiscent of the first rays of sunlight on a spring morning, seemingly capable of melting the soul. Layers of soft tulle draped around the fabric like petals fluttering in the spring breeze. Each layer was meticulously embroidered with delicate patterns, not merely simple decorations, but rather exquisite floral designs. Each petal was lifelike, seemingly imbued with the power of life, and as Sang Shuwan moved, these flowers appeared to sway gently in the breeze.

The skirt's design is ingenious. Unlike Sang Jiyue's extravagant gown, it employs simple and flowing lines, cascading naturally to the ground like a gently flowing pink river. However, the hem is embroidered with delicate gold thread, the lace shimmering softly under the light, adding a touch of nobility and elegance to the entire dress. A small, exquisite diamond brooch adorns the neckline. Though small, each diamond is meticulously cut, radiating brilliant light, perfectly placed at the neckline, adding a touch of regal grace to Sang Jiyue's overall appearance.

Sang Shuwan's hair was casually tied up, with a few strands falling beside her fair neck, making her even more charming. Her makeup was fresh and natural; the light pink eyeshadow complemented her dress perfectly, and the glossy lip gloss made her lips look even more luscious. Her eyes were clear and bright, with a faint smile, like a fairy who had mistakenly descended to the mortal world, untouched by worldly concerns.

The moment Sang Shuwan saw her, Sang Jiyue's smile froze on her face, a hint of jealousy and resentment flashing in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms, thinking to herself, "How is this possible? How could she dress better than me? I've prepared so carefully for so long, put in so much effort, how could she easily outshine me?"

President Qi frowned, a displeased look on his face, and said in a low voice, "This Yi Shuqi is really quite capable. But Jiyue, don't panic, there will be another chance at the event later, we can't lose."

Amidst gasps of amazement, Sang Shuwan gracefully walked the red carpet. The media's attention was instantly drawn to her, and the crowd that had been surrounding Sang Jiyue surged towards her like a tidal wave.

"Sang Shuwan, look this way!"

"Shu Wan, so beautiful! Give us a close-up!"

"This way, this way!"

Sang Shuwan smiled and waved to everyone, her smile genuine and warm, without a trace of affectation. She walked slowly on the red carpet, each step light and elegant, as if her feet were not on hard ground but on soft clouds. She would sometimes stop to interact with fans and greet them warmly, and at other times she would pose naturally and beautifully for the media.

In a media interview, Sang Shuwan sincerely said, "I am very grateful to Yi Shuqi for designing this dress for me. She is truly a very talented designer. I feel very honored to be able to wear her work tonight at the gala. At the same time, I hope everyone can pay more attention to the hard work and creativity behind fashion. Every piece embodies the designer's dedication and dreams." Her humble yet insightful answer won unanimous praise from the media reporters.

Upon entering the venue, Sang Shuwan became the center of attention. Celebrities from all walks of life approached her to chat, showering her with compliments. A renowned fashion magazine editor smiled and said, "Sang Shuwan, your look tonight is absolutely stunning! This dress perfectly showcases your elegance and charm. Yi Shuqi's design is truly exceptional." An internationally renowned designer also came over, giving a thumbs up: "Your taste in fashion has always been excellent, but this time it's truly eye-catching. We look forward to more surprises from you in the future."

Sang Jiyue was left out in the cold, ignored by everyone. Watching the lively scene around Sang Shuwan, her resentment grew stronger. She bit her lip tightly, tears of resentment welling in her eyes, and silently vowed, "Sang Shuwan, you just wait! I won't let you outdo me like this. This is only temporary. I will find a chance to reclaim everything that belongs to me."

The gala officially began, the stage lights shone brightly, and music filled the air. The host walked onto the stage, enthusiastically introducing the evening's guests and the event schedule. During the performances, Sang Shuwan's seat was constantly surrounded by people, all excitedly discussing her dress and styling. Meanwhile, Sang Jiyue sat alone in a corner, silently watching the performances on stage, her mind preoccupied with how to salvage the situation.

Just then, the host announced, "Next, we will present the Best Dressed Award for tonight. This award is intended to recognize guests who have made outstanding contributions and have unique taste in the fashion field." A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Sang Jiyue's heart. She thought, "Maybe this award will be my opportunity. If I can win this award, I can become the center of attention again."

However, when the host announced that Sang Shuwan was the winner of the Best Dressed Award, Sang Jiyue's hopes were instantly shattered. She watched as Sang Shuwan gracefully walked onto the stage, accepted the trophy, and beamed with happiness, amidst enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience. At that moment, Sang Jiyue's jealousy and resentment reached their peak; she could no longer bear the feeling of being ignored and outshone.

After the party, Sang Jiyue returned home, angrily throwing her dress on the floor before collapsing onto the sofa, tears streaming down her face. President Qi sat beside her, comforting her, "Jiyue, don't be too sad. This was just an accident. Let's go back and learn from this experience; we'll definitely win next time." Sang Jiyue raised her head, her eyes shining with determination, "President Qi, I won't give up. I will definitely work hard to improve myself, find better resources and opportunities, and one day, I will let everyone know that I am the most dazzling star in this entertainment industry."

Meanwhile, Sang Shuwan was on the phone with Yi Shuqi, sharing her joy of the evening. "Yi, thank you so much! Your design made me the center of attention tonight," Sang Shuwan said gratefully. Yi Shuqi replied with a smile, "It's your unique charm that perfectly showcases the beauty of this dress. Our collaboration this time was truly a success; I look forward to creating more wonderful moments together next time."

On this competitive and challenging fashion stage, the stories of Sang Shuwan and Sang Jiyue continue. Both cherish their dreams and aspirations, relentlessly pursuing their passions on the path of fashion. This fashion gala is merely a small episode in their lives; much more excitement and challenges await them in the future.

The fashion gala came to a successful close, with Sang Shuwan becoming the most dazzling star of the night thanks to her stunning look and outstanding performance. The flashing lights accentuated her radiant figure, the delicate embroidery and sparkling beads on her gown complementing each other perfectly, every detail showcasing the seamless fusion of fashion and art, and bearing witness to her hard work and growth along the way.

After the event, Sang Shuwan was in high spirits, gathering with her team members to enthusiastically discuss the follow-up arrangements. "We have to celebrate properly tonight! Everyone has worked so hard these past few days. Let's find a great place for a celebration banquet, and drink until we drop!" Sang Shuwan's voice was clear and melodious, her eyes sparkling with excitement, like the brightest star in the night sky. Her suggestion was immediately met with enthusiastic support, and everyone discussed the details of the celebration banquet. Some suggested the city's renowned five-star hotel, with its first-class environment and service, offering an unparalleled experience of luxury from the moment you step inside; others recommended a uniquely styled private club, providing a more private space for celebration, allowing everyone to relax and speak freely. After a lively discussion, they finally chose a top-tier luxury hotel in the city as the venue for the celebration banquet. This hotel not only boasts a spacious and grand banquet hall with high ceilings and magnificent crystal chandeliers, exuding luxury and grandeur, but also a professional service team that can provide comprehensive support for this celebration banquet, from exquisite food to attentive service.

After finalizing the venue, Sang Shuwan began inviting guests. Her first thought was Nancy, the president of an entertainment company. Nancy was a renowned figure in the entertainment industry, with a sharp, intelligent gaze and an air of powerful businesswoman. She possessed keen insight and ruthless methods; under her leadership, many of her company's artists had risen to prominence, transforming from unknowns into household names. Sang Shuwan dialed Nancy's number, and Nancy's capable voice came through the line: "Shuwan, congratulations on your outstanding performance tonight!" Sang Shuwan replied with a smile: "President Nancy, thanks to your continued support, I'm hosting a celebration banquet tonight, you absolutely must come." Nancy laughed heartily: "Of course I'll be there, I really have to congratulate you. You've come a long way, this achievement tonight is well-deserved, and I look forward to more surprises from you in the future."

Next, Sang Shuwan contacted her agent, Alice. Alice, a powerful businesswoman in the entertainment industry, had gone to great lengths for Sang Shuwan's acting career. Dressed in a meticulously tailored suit and high heels, she walked with a confident stride, exuding a powerful aura. From carefully considering casting choices and repeatedly weighing the quality of each script and the suitability of the role, to meticulously planning her image, Alice personally oversaw every aspect, from everyday wear to styling for important events, striving to showcase Sang Shuwan's unique charm. "Sister Alice, we're really looking forward to your presence at tonight's celebration party!" Sang Shuwan said playfully. Alice smiled and said, "Little girl, don't be so polite. I'll definitely be there on time. Your performance tonight was outstanding. I knew you'd stun everyone in that dress designed by Yi Shuqi. Seeing you grow and improve along the way has made me truly happy."

Then there's Farah, a businesswoman with extensive connections and resources in both the fashion and business worlds. With her wavy hair, impeccable makeup, and every gesture exuding elegance and confidence, she's a force to be reckoned with. Sang Shuwan's connections with many big names in the fashion industry are largely thanks to Farah's introductions. "Fara, come to my celebration party tonight! Let's have a good get-together," Sang Shuwan warmly invited. Farah readily agreed, "Of course I'll go! You were absolutely brilliant tonight; we absolutely have to celebrate. Your career in fashion and entertainment is flourishing, and I'm so proud of you. If you ever need any help, just let me know."

Finally, Sang Shuwan dialed Yi Shuqi's number. Yi Shuqi, this talented fashion designer, had spent countless sleepless nights in her studio revising designs and selecting fabrics to create that stunning gown. Her eyes always shone with a passion and dedication to design. "Yi, you absolutely have to come to the celebration party tonight! This success wouldn't have been possible without you. Your design was absolutely amazing; it made me the center of attention," Sang Shuwan said sincerely. Yi Shuqi smiled and replied, "I'm so happy to receive your recognition; it's a joint achievement. It's my greatest honor to see my design shine on you. I can't wait to attend the celebration party and celebrate with everyone!"

On the night of the celebration banquet, the hotel's banquet hall was beautifully decorated. A huge crystal chandelier cast a dazzling light, illuminating the exquisite tableware and vibrant flowers on the tables. The surrounding walls were decorated with wonderful photos from Sang Shuwan's acting career, recording her growth and glory.

As the guests arrived, Nancy wore a simple yet elegant black dress adorned with a dazzling diamond necklace, exuding a noble air; Alice wore a fitted red suit paired with exquisite high heels, radiating confidence; Farah wore a royal blue evening gown, resembling a sea sprite, elegant and captivating. Yi Shuqi wore a minimalist dress of her own design, its unique cut and exquisite details showcasing her design style.

Wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, Sang Shuwan stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, smiling as she greeted each guest. "Welcome, welcome, please come in," she greeted them warmly, her eyes brimming with joy.

As the banquet began, Sang Shuwan stood on the stage and gave her acceptance speech: "Thank you to every friend who came, and thank you to my team for your continued support. This success is not my achievement alone, but the result of everyone's joint efforts. I especially want to thank Yi Shuqi; your design made me feel confident tonight and the center of attention. Also, thank you to Sister Alice for always caring about my career, and to President Nan and Farah for their great help. In the future, I hope we can continue to move forward together and create even more brilliance." The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

At the banquet, everyone enjoyed the food and conversation. Yi Shuqi and Sang Shuwan shared anecdotes from the design process, while Alice and Nancy discussed Sang Shuwan's future development plans. Farah also offered some unique insights from time to time. "I think Shuwan could try expanding into the international market. With her image and abilities, she'll definitely shine on the international stage," Nancy said earnestly. Alice nodded in agreement: "I have the same idea. We'll start arranging some international cooperation projects next."

The atmosphere at the banquet grew increasingly lively. Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate Sang Shuwan's success and wish her a bright future. The band played cheerful music, and people danced on the dance floor, their laughter echoing throughout the banquet hall. Sang Shuwan moved among the crowd, chatting warmly with each guest and thanking them for their support and help. At that moment, she felt immense happiness and fulfillment.

As time passed, the celebration banquet drew to a close. Sang Shuwan once again thanked everyone for coming and contributing, and then bid farewell to each of them. She knew that this celebration banquet was not only a celebration of past efforts, but also a look towards the future. In the days to come, she would continue to work hard and create more brilliance in the entertainment industry. And the friendship she shared with her friends would become her most precious asset on her path forward.

The celebration was a vibrant and lively affair, with magnificent crystal chandeliers illuminating the entire venue as bright as day. The upbeat music gradually subsided, but the sounds of laughter and chatter still echoed in every corner. The giant curtain on the stage slowly descended, marking the successful conclusion of this spectacular event.

Sang Shuwan stood at the exit of the venue, surrounded by her team members and a group of friends. She wore a magnificent evening gown, its skirt flowing gracefully like a blooming flower. The exquisite embroidery and shimmering sequins sparkled under the lights, highlighting her captivating charm. At that moment, her face radiated a satisfied and joyful smile, a smile as warm and radiant as the spring sun.

Agent Alice, dressed in a sharp white suit with a simple black shirt underneath, the tailored cut perfectly accentuating her tall figure, looked pleased. She gently patted Sang Shuwan's shoulder and said, "Shuwan, your hosting tonight was absolutely outstanding! You handled every segment perfectly. I'm so proud of you!" Alice had followed Sang Shuwan for many years, witnessing her growth and transformation. In her heart, Sang Shuwan was no longer just her artist, but a close friend and comrade-in-arms. To prepare for this event, Alice had spent countless sleepless nights, personally handling everything from communicating and coordinating with various parties to repeatedly confirming every detail of the process, leaving no stone unturned. To secure better resources for Sang Shuwan, she negotiated with partners countless times, arguing her case forcefully, never backing down even when facing the toughest opponents.

Yi Shuqi excitedly grabbed Sang Shuwan's hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Shuwan, I'm so happy to have collaborated with you on the costumes for this gala! You brought out a unique charm in every dress, especially that final gown—it was absolutely stunning!" As the designer of the gala's costumes, Yi Shuqi poured countless hours into achieving the perfect effect. From selecting fabrics to designing styles, she meticulously considered every detail. She traversed various fabric markets to find the most suitable materials, rigorously controlling every aspect—feel, luster, drape. The designs went through countless revisions, often staying up all night in the studio for a single inspiration. To make the embroidery on the gowns even more exquisite, she specifically visited embroidery masters to learn traditional embroidery techniques and integrate them into the modern design. Now, seeing her work shine so brightly on Sang Shuwan, she felt a profound sense of accomplishment.

Businesswoman Farah, in a wine-red, form-fitting long dress that accentuated her graceful figure, and a pearl necklace around her neck adding to her elegance and sophistication, stepped forward with a smile. "Shuwan," she said, "this gala was a resounding success! Your stage presence was simply unmatched! We must continue to collaborate on any good projects in the future!" Farah had been a seasoned businesswoman for many years, establishing herself in the industry through her keen business acumen and decisive decision-making. She and Sang Shuwan met at a charity event and instantly became close friends, subsequently collaborating in several areas. During the preparation of this gala, Farah leveraged her connections to secure substantial sponsorships, alleviating their immediate financial crisis. Simultaneously, she used her business acumen to strategize the gala's promotion and publicity, greatly enhancing its impact.

Nancy, the president of the entertainment company, wore a sharp black suit. Her short hair made her look particularly energetic, and her eyes revealed sharpness and wisdom. She nodded slightly and said approvingly, "Shuwan, your performance has exceeded everyone's expectations and brought honor to the company. I hope you can continue to maintain this and create even more brilliance!"
