Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 185 Kou Rui's Grand Show! Shining in Milan! LVMH Offers High Price to Acquire Her! Making Hundreds of Millions in One Night!

9 month 23 number.

Sunday afternoon, around 2 p.m.

The fashion show for the brand Chlor was held at the Palazzo Serberoni in Milan.

This palace, with a history of 400 years, is a typical Baroque style and is one of the highest-level official venues for Milan Fashion Week.

The only drawback is that the venue space is limited, and the number of people invited cannot exceed 300.

Dolce & Gabbana's brand fashion show, held in a modern venue, invited a whopping 800 people, an exceptionally large number.

Numerous online celebrities and media outlets were able to receive invitations.

On the other hand, Kourui basically excludes online celebrities.

Only the editors-in-chief of top fashion magazines receive invitations from the media.

The show was held at 3 p.m., and guests arrived an hour early.

As the organizer, Lu Yunzhou personally greeted these friends and dignitaries from all over the world at the entrance.

Originally, Liu Haocun was the female companion that Lu Yunzhou had prepared.

However, no one expected that Yang Mi would fly to Milan again this morning. After talking to Liu Haocun about something, Yang Mi stepped forward without hesitation and offered to share the burden with Lu Yunzhou.

"Big brother, don't blame me for stealing Cunzi's thunder."

"Look at her, she's a pure and innocent girl. She's good at making movies, and I admit her acting skills are better than mine. But as a tool in a film, she's more useful than me."

"But she can't handle this kind of situation. With Tangtang not here, I'm willing to share my brother's burden."

Yang Mi wore a gorgeous black dress adorned with rhinestones, which accentuated her curvaceous figure as she moved, making her exceptionally alluring.

Like a ripe peach.

For this occasion, she had a special hairstyle. She put her hair up and deliberately left two decorative strands of hair like dragon whiskers in front of her forehead to slightly cover her receding hairline.

Her biggest flaw is her baldness.

However, when she's not filming, she looks quite good. After all, she uses the most expensive stylists for such important occasions.

The price is several times higher than that of the makeup artists used for filming.

You get what you pay for. With such an expensive stylist, the makeup and hair done are bound to be more beautiful.

Although Yang Mi looks a bit older, she spent a lot of money and dressed up carefully. Combined with the dim lighting and heavy makeup, it's impossible to guess her age.

Compared to several foreign female celebrities of the same age, Yang Mi looks much younger.

"If you want to help, that's fine too."

Lu Yunzhou looked him over, but didn't refuse.

In such a fashionable setting, Yang Mi is indeed a very presentable female companion.

She has a stronger presence and is more like a superstar than Liu Haocun.

Lu Yunzhou thought about it and realized that if Liu Haocun were to play the female lead at this time, many people in his family would be unhappy, thinking that Liu Haocun was trying too hard to climb the social ladder.

Yang Mi doesn't care.

Anyway, I'm just a high-level employee, so nobody will think much of it.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to show my face, brother."

Yang Mi was overjoyed to hear that Lu Yunzhou had agreed.

Today, looking around, you see world-class figures, fashion celebrities, Middle Eastern princes, European artists, and top Hollywood stars.

There were also some European nobles and representatives from major European investment banks.

What is meant by "high-end occasion"?

This is!

Although Correia doesn't seem to be particularly valuable, after all, Correia's annual sales are only around 10 billion euros.

It's about the same as Lu Yunzhou making one movie a year.

In fact, the profits were not as high as those from making movies.

However, buyers of luxury goods, especially haute couture, are among the richest and most powerful people in the world.

"When guests arrive, don't speak. Just stand next to me and be a mute."

Designers like Christine Lacroix and Claire Young are powerful figures behind the scenes; they are not suited for, nor are they qualified for, such public events.

Therefore, Lu Yunzhou was in charge of entertaining guests.

A world-class young artist is qualified to host even heads of state from some countries.

"Lu, my good brother, I brought a friend to support you."

The Khalifa prince of Qatar was the first to arrive.

He treated this grand show as his own home turf, calling on friends and relatives, and making a huge fuss.

He even had bodyguards and servants surrounding him.

After all, the theme of Curry's grand show was "The Queen's Wedding Dress," inspired by the film he produced.

Fairy Castle 2.

And the so-called Queen—though no one mentions it, Prince Khalifa knows perfectly well that they are referring to his mother, Queen Mother Moza!

Her mother was a super queen who forcibly helped her father become king, and then forcibly helped her brother become king!

His name, Khalifa, means "heir" in Arabic.

It is clear that his mother had high hopes for him.

Of course, since his brother did a good job, he didn't try to seize the throne. Being a playboy was so much more fun than being a king.

"Lu, this is Mohammed, the Saudi prince."

"That cool guy is Hamdan, the UAE prince."

"That tall man is Nasser, from the Kuwaiti royal family. Oh, and he also serves as a director on the Kuwaiti board of directors. He's a very wealthy man. His sister is getting married soon and needs a batch of beautiful wedding dresses."

"This is Uncle Hamad, the Bahraini prince. His daughter is almost of marriageable age, and he came to Milan Fashion Week to see wedding dresses for his little moon. Don't disappoint my dear Uncle Hamad."

Prince Khalifa introduced Lu Yunzhou to the several Middle Eastern tycoons around him.

In addition, these Middle Eastern tycoons also brought their own royal purchasing staff, a total of 12 people.

At this moment, these purchasing personnel followed behind these princes without uttering a sound, showing great respect for the rules.

"Prince Khalifa and distinguished guests, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend Cora's fashion show. It is a great honor for me."

"Please enter and take a short break. The show will begin soon."

Upon hearing the background of these major clients, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but smile sincerely.

This is not a one-off transaction.

After securing these individuals, their annual purchasing needs would prioritize Kourui, effectively providing Kourui with a stable sales channel.

After chatting at the entrance...

Prince Khalifa, accompanied by his friends, walked down the red carpet from the main gate of the palace.

The two sides are designated as photo areas for the media.

Upon entering, the group remained still, while their servants respectfully handed over the invitations.

Immediately afterwards, waiters dressed in matching Cornet uniforms led them to their seats in the front row.

There were things placed on both sides of the seat.

On the left is a bottle of mineral water, a box of custom-made macarons, and a place card made of sterling silver.

On the right side, there is a commemorative gift box.

"What is this?"

Prince Khalifa casually flipped through the box and suddenly noticed that it contained a Borsalino Iogo hat.

scarf?

Prince Khalifa immediately became very interested.

"Someone come here."

Prince Khalifa summoned a servant and instructed, "Go check the other locations to see if they all exist."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The servant ran out to take a look, then quickly returned and respectfully reported, "Your Highness, the other people's gift boxes were just ordinary haute couture perfumes; there were no special gifts."

Upon hearing this, Prince Khalifa immediately burst into laughter.

"Borsalino's headscarf—Lu, he's really my good brother, he made it especially for us."

After discovering this little surprise, Prince Khalifa quickly called his friends to open the gift box together.

really.

There was one next to them, for everyone.

However, this only applies to these few people.

The gift boxes in other locations contain ordinary gifts.

This preferential treatment made the wealthy people in these Gulf countries feel particularly comfortable.

They excitedly took out the headscarves and examined them, comparing the colors. They chatted casually, "Khalifa, tell me, this is a limited edition, right? A limited edition Borsalino headscarf—cool, this is so cool! This might be the only batch in the world, Borsalino headscarves."

"Of course, my brother!"

Prince Khalifa, feeling quite proud, chimed in, "Before meeting us, Borsalino only made hats and had never been involved in the headscarf industry—unless, of course, we received counterfeit goods!"

Upon hearing this, the others burst into laughter: "Khalifa, you're really funny. How could this be a fake?"

This was personally given to us by Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou is the owner of Borsalino.

Did the boss send them counterfeit goods?

This is absolutely the biggest joke in the world.

"Khalifa, your new friend is really something. Next time he comes to Dubai, I'll give him a leopard as a pet!"

A custom-made headscarf isn't worth much.

However, this is a limited edition, and it's from the top luxury hat brand Borsalino, so it already has a certain style.

Furthermore, it was personally presented by Lu Yunzhou, a top-tier artist.

Can they be the same?

These princes have almost no other pursuits in life besides showing off and flaunting their wealth.

Now, Lu Yunzhou is taking the initiative to lead them in showing off.

If they accidentally show these headscarves when they return to China and attend a friend's gathering, they will probably attract countless questions.

They could then casually say, "Oh, it's nothing. It was a gift from Lu Yunzhou, a world-class young artist, a successor to Leonardo da Vinci, a Milanese saint, a great director, and a world-class superstar. It was a souvenir from that fashion show—you didn't go?"

Didn't receive an invitation? That's a pity.

The words "It's such a pity" must be filled with regret, with a gentle ending that carries a lingering resonance, as if one truly feels sorry for the other person.

Haha.

They had already automatically drawn up the scene in their minds.

At this moment, these Middle Eastern princes have already made their decision: as long as the wedding dresses and suits are decent, they will place orders directly!

I won't be going to Dolce & Gabbana tonight.

Because after the fashion show, Cora will have a private dinner, and they will definitely be invited.

The dinner at Cora will likely last until around 7:30 p.m., while Dolce & Gabbana's fashion show will be around 9 p.m.

There is definitely enough time.

Lu Yunzhou was very considerate. He didn't even deliberately set a time limit for them to choose between the two shows, but instead let them take their time to watch the next show.

Before they came, they thought of themselves as customers of Kourry.

However, after receiving this unique gift, he felt that since Lu Yunzhou was Khalifa's friend, he was also his friend.

Next, they will collaborate to create a super game for Middle Easterners called "Fairy Castle".

Dolce & Gabbana doesn't have that kind of deep cooperation with them.

In short, they were prepared to buy up all the Korui products to support their friend's business.

Next, for any member of their own royal family who needs a haute couture wedding dress, they will recommend ordering from Kourry's fashion house in the Middle East.

It’s pretty much the same anyway.

Kourei is a good brand, and it's very reputable.

A century-old haute couture piece, very presentable.

The logo of Sword and Rose is also very popular with these wealthy people.

In addition, Lu Yunzhou also filmed a visual blockbuster for the Gulf region, "Fairy Castle 2: The Persian Gulf Court".

Just listen to this name; it's made for them!

Besides Middle Eastern tycoons, many socialites and wealthy women from China also attended the Chlorie fashion show.

Yang Mi saw many familiar faces here.

For some women, their husbands are frequently in the news.

Yang Mi recognized her immediately, her eyes widening. She gently nudged Lu Yunzhou and whispered, "Isn't this so-and-so's wife?"

This guy is always in public, exuding confidence and saying that buying foreign goods is like selling your soul—but then his wife and daughter come abroad to watch fashion shows and go on a shopping spree.

"Making a fuss over nothing."

Lu Yunzhou glanced at Yang Mi: "Your acting is a bit over the top. Why are you acting like a naive young girl who's never seen the world before?"

"hey-hey."

Yang Mi smiled awkwardly.

Actually, she recognized him from afar, but she just wanted to flatter Lu Yunzhou and make him secretly pleased.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Yunzhou didn't feel anything at all.

She's still not good at flattery.

"Brother, I was so ignorant! I never imagined you knew so many important people."

"Luckily, I've already made up with Tangtang. Otherwise, if you wanted to mess with me again, wouldn't it be a simple matter of a word?"

"I should thank you for going easy on me. You only played the game with me within the rules. If you hadn't played by the rules, you could have crushed me in an instant."

Yang Mi didn't just find out today that Lu Yunzhou is different from other celebrities.

However, she had always been somewhat vague about it before.

It wasn't until today, standing next to Lu Yunzhou, that she realized just how many people this guy knew in Europe.

He even has connections with some important figures in China.

However, he never uses these connections within China.

At the same time, Yang Mi gained a deeper understanding of her identity as the owner of a luxury brand and a world-class young artist.

The brand Cora has an annual turnover of less than 10 billion euros, and its profits are less than what Lu Yunzhou makes in a movie.

However, those invited to the Milan Fashion Week are all extremely wealthy and influential, especially the socialites and socialites from China.

Each and every one of them has a remarkable background.

Many people's names cannot be found on the Chinese internet.

On Wikipedia, a whole host of important figures can be found.

"There are many luxury brands in Italy, and many luxury brands in France. However, Kourou only makes women's ready-to-wear clothing."

"My goal is to make Knorr one of the top four high-end ready-to-wear brands in Italy. And among women's wear, Knorr is the only high-end ready-to-wear brand."

"This is just the beginning."

"When Chloe reaches the level of Chanel, you'll find that today's event is just a small-scale affair."

Hermès is the top luxury brand.

Chanel is the second oldest.

These two brands are true top-tier luxury brands; others can only be considered high-end luxury at best. Knorr has now entered the high-end luxury category, but its ranking isn't high.

However, once Knorr makes it into the ranks of Italy's four major high-end ready-to-wear brands, it will be virtually the only high-end ready-to-wear brand in the women's wear market.

The brand value will be greatly enhanced!

If it were located in China, Kourei's brand awareness would also increase significantly.

Those marketing accounts must be raving about Korui, right?

Are they overhyping Lu Yunzhou?

For wealthy women in China, when buying high-end ready-to-wear clothing for the next time, besides Hermès and Chanel, the third choice is Kourou!

While the two were chatting, many more distinguished guests arrived.

One group of distinguished guests was particularly unique.

A middle-aged man who looked somewhat like Lu Yunzhou was seen, accompanied by a French beauty on his left and an Italian beauty on his right.

Behind them was a beautiful Slavic woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Who is this?"

Such behavior was so eye-catching among a group of foreigners that Yang Mi was dumbfounded and couldn't help but turn to look at Lu Yunzhou.

His appearance and behavior are a complete copy of Lu Yunzhou.

"Hey, you've been here for so long! You've gotten even more handsome."

The three beautiful women saw Lu Yunzhou and took the initiative to hug him, kiss him on the cheek, and even gently pinch his cheek.

Everyone treated him like a child.

Their attitude was very affectionate.

"Don't call me 'A-Zhou,' I've told you so many times, you all have pronunciation problems. You always call me 'A-Chou'—aunts."

Please.

Lu Yunzhou was truly impressed.

His uncle, who had been with two women for several months, found a new mistress and was even running for regional councilor.

Does this kind of behavior go unchecked in Italy?

"Yunzhou and Kou Rui are growing bigger and bigger. Your uncle is very proud of them."

Lu Yunzhou's uncle has become a candidate for councilor in the Piedmont region and is also a director of the LB Group.

It can be said that he has both money and power.

In addition, the family's excellent genes for good looks have made my uncle's life extremely successful.

He privately confided to Lu Yunzhou that his life had been too perfect, and now there was only one goal left to achieve.

They formed an Eight-Nation Alliance right at home.

At that moment, his uncle put his arm around Lu Yunzhou's shoulder and introduced him to his friend who had come with him: "This is Piero, the president of the Italian Fashion Association. I met him at a cocktail party."

After he finished speaking, the uncle added in a low voice, "His sister just got divorced, she's in her early thirties, and used to be a model—"

Your potential aunt-in-law.

"Hello, Mr. Piero."

Lu Yunzhou shook hands lightly with the chairman of the fashion association.

I almost couldn't keep my composure.

The uncle then introduced another person to Lu Yunzhou: "This is the famous Miss Delphine Arnault, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of the LVMH Group."

The Arnault surname belongs to the family of the chairman of the LVMH Group.

"Is this one too?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but ask a question.

If we can get this, my uncle will be absolutely amazing.

"What are you thinking about?"

Uncle laughed heartily, then looked at Lu Yunzhou seriously and said, "She's after Cora. ​​She wants to acquire Cora to expand LVMH's territory. I made an outrageous demand, telling her that without 100 billion euros, she can forget about us selling Cora."

Hearing this, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but laugh: "Uncle, you really know how to raise the price."

Cora should be worth around 20 billion euros.

100 billion euros sounds like an insincere offer and is an outrageous demand.

"It's true that I raised the price. But strangely, she seemed to take it seriously. She came to the show to assess Chloe's potential."

"Could it be that we have underestimated Kouri's value?"

My uncle couldn't understand it.

Would they really consider a 100 billion euro offer?

Unless, Her Highness the Crown Princess of LVMH has her eye on Lu Yunzhou, not Kou Rui.

The 100 billion euros wasn't meant to acquire Kore, but rather to acquire Lu Yunzhou, making him LVMH's top lieutenant to act as the vanguard for the group and take down Kering.

That's possible.

In short, his nephew is incredibly awesome.

Thanks to Lu Yunzhou, in just a few years, he went from an ordinary transit trader to a rising star in the Italian fashion world.

These design directors and casting directors for fashion shows in the Italian fashion industry are all gay.

But he isn't.

He was overwhelmed by the models from all over the world.

However, no matter how beautiful a model is, she can never compare to the inherent aura of a female celebrity.

At this moment, Uncle glanced at Yang Mi next to Lu Yunzhou. Although he had gone abroad a long time ago, Uncle still recognized Yang Mi, a top star.

"Hello, Ms. Yang."

"I am Yunzhou's uncle. Welcome to Italy."

Uncle nodded and smiled at Yang Mi, then gently patted Lu Yunzhou's shoulder and led the group into the venue.

Following that, some old European nobles arrived.

Some of them have deep ties to the Chlorie family.

These people didn't come to the last big show, but this time they've made sure that Kourry is back on track, so they've all come to add to the excitement.

In addition, there were people from the Italian art world.

This is the most unique guest at this year's fashion show.

This is a fashion show that other brands can't invite; it's all part of Lu Yunzhou's circle of friends.

He is a young artist who boasts three gold medals from Italy, is a saint of Milan, a successor of Leonardo da Vinci, and holds various honorary titles from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts.

Besides these bigwigs, there were buyers from all over the world.

This includes VIP buyers from high-end European department stores, who come specifically for haute couture collections.

There are also Hollywood stars' personal stylists who can help them find suitable red carpet gowns. There are many award ceremonies and red carpet events at the end of the year.

Whether a celebrity can shine on these red carpet events depends on their gown.

"Aunt Nicole, why did you come in person?"

Nicole Kidman's personal stylist was confirmed to attend the show, but Lu Yunzhou didn't expect that Nicole Kidman herself would also be there.

"You're here again. You annoying brat!"

Nicole Kidman rolled her eyes, speechless, and then said, "I have a feeling that Aquaman will be a huge hit. I have a chance to win an award this year. Therefore, I need a dress that suits me."

"Wait a minute, as a top artist and the owner of one of the four major luxury brands, you'd better help me pick out a good one."

Nicole Kidman is an extremely wealthy woman.

The people in her social circle are all wealthy women.

For example, Sandra Bullock.

This group has an extremely high demand for haute couture gowns; catering to one person well is equivalent to finding a whole bunch of buyers.

"certainly."

Lu Yunzhou smiled and said, "Personally, I think Christian Lacroix's French court Baroque style would suit your temperament better, Auntie."

"You called me 'Auntie' again?"

Nicole Kidman was a little speechless. She whispered flippantly in Lu Yunzhou's ear, "Tell me the truth, did you ever hit me during your adolescence? I don't believe you haven't seen the movie 'Eyes Wide Shut'."

cough cough.

The old lady was driving so fast it caught me completely off guard. Before I knew it, the wheel had run over my face.

"Speechless now, huh? Heh."

Seeing Lu Yunzhou speechless, Nicole Kidman walked away happily, as if she had won the world championship.

It's so much fun teasing the little handsome boy.

There are 15 minutes left until the show officially starts at 3 p.m.

Ms. Xiao Kerui took the stage. As Kerui's chief design director, she recounted the brand's century-long history.

"In 1908, my great-grandmother founded Cora in the capital of Venice."

"In 1945, as the smoke of World War II cleared, my maternal grandmother opened the first haute couture workshop at 15 Via Durini in Milan. More than sixty artisans served one client! This marked the beginning of Coral's haute couture service."

"In 1956, my maternal grandmother launched the Cora little black dress, which was described as a must-have for every girl in Milan and the most popular fashion item in Milan at the time."

"My maternal grandmother was undoubtedly a design master!"

"In 1984, my mother took over the mantle from Curie and began creating a 10-year haute couture art collection to pay tribute to those outstanding artists."

"Koreya, you're being led to the peak!"

"On Christmas Day 2016, I had the privilege of watching Mr. Lu Yunzhou recreate Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' in the Galleria della Signoria in Milan."

"The moment he finished that last stroke, put on Borsalino's hat, and turned to leave—I trembled all over, as if I had lost the ability to speak."

"In my mind, he is the most outstanding young artist of the 21st century! I am simply breathless with admiration for him."

"Over the past century, Kournikova, along with a host of important figures in fashion history, has driven the development of Italian manufacturing."

"And now, we have the guidance of Lu Yunzhou, a world-class young artist, and the addition of Christine Lacroix, one of France's most outstanding fashion designers —"

"The addition of these two brought the sublimity and grandeur of German romanticism and the magnificence and elegance of French court Baroque to Kore-Rose, elevating her to a new level."

"In this fashion show, we will be showcasing 68 haute couture gowns, with the theme 'The Queen's Wedding Dress'."

"The inspiration comes from 'Fairy Castle 2,' which is by our world-renowned young artist, Mr. Lu Yunzhou. Next..."

A fantasy blockbuster set to release in October.

At this point, Ms. Kouri suddenly mentioned, "I heard that Giorgio Armani's design inspiration for tomorrow's grand finale show, 'The Shape of Color,' comes from Guillermo del Toro's 'The Shape of Water.'"

She only mentioned it briefly.

The guests present immediately understood Ms. Xiao Kou Rui's subtext.

Even Giorgio Armani's latest fashion show drew inspiration from the films of top directors, and Cora herself has a world-class director.

Kou Rui doesn't need to follow suit.

Clearly, Kourui has a higher level of sophistication and a more unified design style. Its inspiration comes directly from director Lu Yunzhou himself, without any middlemen!

It has reached the level of high-end luxury.

The materials and craftsmanship are the same for everyone; they are absolutely made with the world's best materials and the most stringent craftsmanship requirements.

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to design styles.

The main competition is about style and design language.

Giorgio Armani also drew inspiration from elements of "The Shape of Water" for his thematic creations.

The overall design of Kou Rui didn't require any intermediaries; it was directly infused with director Lu Yunzhou's own artistic vision.

No matter how you look at it, Cora is definitely one step ahead of Giorgio Armani!

As for the color?

Are Leonardo da Vinci's descendants really less discerning about color than those designers?

That's ridiculous.

No matter how you compare them, Kourou wins!

The show officially began.

Just like last year, Zhang Tianai opened the show, wearing a bright green Persian queen wedding dress and an LDC gold and ruby ​​crown, as she walked gracefully out.

In an instant, everyone turned to look.

"Willow Tree Fairy".

These foreigners didn't know Zhang Tianai's real name, but they all knew that Zhang Tianai was a key character in "Fairy Castle".

In the first part of "The Fairy Castle", after countless years, they found the fairy whose loyalty to "Li Daoyuan" was the ultimate.

This character is impressive.

Moreover, the wedding dress worn at the beginning of the event was clearly in the Middle Eastern style, which made several Gulf tycoons nod slightly in approval.

However, this is just an appetizer.

The 68 haute couture gowns were all finished in no time.

The real highlight, however, is the final scene.

Naza wore a pure white wedding dress, embroidered with intricate rose patterns using the finest silver thread and rhinestones.

Each rose pattern, under the refraction of the light, emitted a delicate glow, making Nazha look as if she were wearing the Milky Way.

It's beautiful to the extreme.

Upon closer inspection, the silver lines and rhinestones don't appear to form a rose pattern. They look more like rivers.

The train of this wedding dress, like a fish's tail, trails for 5 meters on the ground, with the brand logo of Kourry embroidered on the train with pearls and rhinestones.

Sword and Rose.

In addition, Naza wore an "Eternal Crown" specially designed for her by LDC Jewelry.

The crown is set with a 10-carat super diamond and more than 500 smaller diamonds, making it absolutely dazzling under the lights.

Naza looks like a fairy from heaven who has descended to earth.

"The Siren!"

Prince Khalifa has already seen the movie, so of course he knows that Gulnazar played a siren in it.

Although Lu Yunzhou never revealed Nazha's true form, everyone could guess that she was a mermaid.

"She's so beautiful."

"She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Naza's beauty is a universal commodity. Even the most discerning person couldn't deny her stunning looks during her peak.

Not good looking.

And the model runway show is Gulnazar's domain.

At this moment, she squinted slightly, as if she had descended from heaven, carrying an aura of ethereal beauty—when she looked at people, her eyes seemed to convey a feeling that they were all trash.

This is the look every model needs on the runway: a disdainful gaze that shows they don't take anyone seriously.

From one perspective, this is the queen's overwhelming aura.

"Khalifa, I want this outfit she's wearing. Only this one is worthy of my daughter!"

Among the friends Prince Khalifa brought was one whose daughter was getting married soon, and he was there to choose a wedding dress for her.

He was immediately excited after seeing Nazha's outfit.

He knew nothing about design or fashion.

All he knew was that Nazha looked absolutely stunning in that wedding dress.

With Gulnazar as a foil, he couldn't stand the dresses worn by anyone else.

After all, his daughter was married into the royal family of another Gulf country and was destined to become a princess.

As for whether the princess can become the queen?

That's hard to say.

However, he hoped to bring some good fortune to his daughter.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you. Lu is my good brother! We'll have a lot of collaborations in the future."

Prince Khalifa took full responsibility, laughing heartily.

It feels so good to show off. Especially when he has the right to show off.

"Thank you, Khalifa."

The man was quite shrewd; he whispered in Prince Khalifa's ear, "If your brother is in danger, Qatar will be leaderless, and your brothers will all support you as Emir (King)."

Prince Khalifa laughed, but shook his head and refused: "No, no, I hope my brother lives to be a hundred years old, and that Qatar lives a long and prosperous life. You know, governing a country is too tiring; I'm content being a prince. I feel I'm living a much more comfortable life than my brother."

The show was a great success.

Naza once again shone in Milan, attracting the attention of socialites and wealthy women from all over the world, who then placed orders like crazy.

After the show ended.

Lu Yunzhou invited many guests to attend Kou Rui's private dinner.

Everyone was very accommodating.

Come over and have something to eat, listen to some music, and chat about some gossip.

As for the buyers, it wasn't so easy. As soon as the show ended, they immediately contacted Kourry's sales department and placed orders like crazy.

They will also be watching Dolce & Gabbana's fashion show tonight.

But you have to grab Kourry's order first!

Because the princes of the Gulf countries seem to be very satisfied with this grand show, and they will probably snap up all the haute couture wedding dresses.

They didn't steal the wedding dress.

Their clients are not married.

However, the other haute couture gowns are highly sought after by many customers and must be reserved in advance.

If you're even a step too late, it's all gone!

Because this thing is entirely handmade, each piece takes more than 300 hours to make. If you miss out on the first batch, you'll have to wait at least two months.

Their customers can't wait that long.

During the dinner.

As the host, Lu Yunzhou warmly welcomed every guest.

As expected, he will make a fortune again.

Did you earn around 2 million last year?

With the addition of Middle Eastern tycoons this year, profits will at least double.

He was very happy, and he would toast with everyone who offered him a drink.

Enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful.

This time, Tang Yan, Zhang Ruonan, Tian Xiwei, and Wang Ran were all absent. In other words, none of the women in the household were there.

Fortunately, Lu Yunzhou's uncle brought several potential aunts to help with the arrangements.

With the hostess absent, Yang Mi seized the opportunity to try and play the role of Lu Yunzhou's female companion, but Liu Haocun kept a close eye on her.

"Honey, just sit here with me. This isn't your stage."

Liu Haocun absolutely refused to give Yang Mi any chance to shine.

Yang Mi was held back by Liu Haocun and couldn't move. She wanted to make friends with some socialites and wealthy women, but it seemed that she didn't have the qualifications.

After all, she's just a celebrity.

It was just an accessory next to Lu Yunzhou during the fashion show.

Yang Mi is self-aware and knows her place; she shouldn't treat herself as the main course.

If you try to steal the spotlight in this setting, you'll be laughed at.

Yang Mi was quite savvy about the rules of the entertainment industry. Instead of drawing attention to herself, she turned to Liu Haocun and said casually, "Cunzi, I really envy you."

"Honey, what do I have to envy? Don't joke with me."

Liu Haocun pretended not to know anything and kept his head down.

Yang Mi took a sip of her drink and said leisurely, "You were born into an ordinary family, and at 18, you were able to enter this level of high-society circles. They all know you and call you Miss Xue—while what about me? I'm 32, and I barely managed to squeeze in."

"Apart from people from China, nobody here knows me!"

Yang Mi had one more thing she didn't say.

Those wealthy women and socialites from China completely ignored her.

Fortunately, many people know that she is a minor shareholder of Kiko and is aligned with Lu Yunzhou. If it were before, when she and Lu Yunzhou were adversaries, who would have given her any face?

He's just a celebrity.

The building might collapse at any time.

"Sister Honey, I don't know anything. It was all my older brother who taught me. I've gotten to where I am today entirely thanks to his support."

Liu Haocun had no desire to communicate much with Yang Mi.

Because Yang Mi is Dilraba's older sister. Since they all dislike Dilraba, they naturally dislike Yang Mi too!

"My Yarm, wasn't I great today?"

After the fashion show, Gulnazar directly took Yang Mi's place and became Lu Yunzhou's date for the night.

She has done a great service once again.

Naza always feels especially good and accomplished whenever she makes a great contribution.

Because she is also unique.

"My Janim, I wish I could hold you in the palm of my hand." Lu Yunzhou laughed and pinched Nazha's cheek.

He was indeed happy.

Because someone just reported to him that Prince Khalifa's friends, along with Middle Eastern royal buyers, placed an order for 7000 million euros!

Last year, almost all of the orders from the Middle East came from Qatar.

This year, he has completely secured several major clients in the Gulf countries.

After this big show, he has completely opened up the Middle Eastern market.

Orders will continue to pour in.

"Yunzhou, if you're happy, I'm happy too. Let's have a toast together to set the mood for tonight."

Lu Yunzhou tonight will definitely be his own treat.

That's the rule.

Although Nazha frequently attends international fashion weeks, walking the runway for Lu Yunzhou feels truly different.

She was genuinely happy that she had helped Lu Yunzhou earn so much money.

But if someone else makes so much money, she'll think, what does it have to do with her own business if the brand makes so much money?

You work like a slave, only to let others benefit.

The more I think about it, the more upset I get.

"Yunzhou, do you know that you only dote on me? Sister Xiao Ai is so jealous." Nazha whispered to Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou turned his head and his eyes met Zhang Tianai's for a brief moment.

Zhang Tianai instantly turned away like a startled bird, pretending to chat with the others, but her eyes kept lingering on Lu Yunzhou.

"Sister Ai, your eyes are so captivating."

"Knowing these little bitches in the industry as I do, Sister Ai will definitely find an opportunity to seduce you in private—so, these next few days, you better behave yourself and don't leave my sight."

"I'll watch over you for Nan Nan."

Naza is absolutely in love with Lu Yunzhou!

This guy is really good at making money.

Moreover, the way he makes money is both handsome and classy—it's a world-class show, and the attendees are all wealthy and powerful.

If it weren't for the Chloe Fashion Show, Gulnazar would never have encountered these socialites and wealthy ladies in China in private.

Just now, all those people came to take photos with me, praising my beauty and impeccable fashion sense. They didn't look down on me for being uncultured, unambitious, a poor actress, and having a terrible reputation.

Simply because she is now a major contributor to the Chloe Grand Show!

Milan truly shone.

Even top actresses like Nicole Kidman praised her beauty out of respect for Lu Yunzhou.

I have finally become the King of Zac!

"Two hours later, Dilraba will be walking the runway for Dolce & Gabbana—I wonder if she can reach three-tenths of my skill level?"

Zhang Tianai's illness was nothing more than scabies.

If Lu Yunzhou wanted to mess with Zhang Tianai, he would have done it long ago, instead of waiting until today.

What really annoyed Nazha was Dilraba.

Lu Yunzhou has a unique sensitivity to Dilraba Dilmurat—Gulnazar can clearly sense it.

Lu Yunzhou helped Tang Yan acquire Jiahang's shares, partly to let Tang Yan have some fun and experience what it feels like to be one step ahead of Yang Mi.

But the biggest purpose was still to get close to Dilraba.

Did that girl who choked to death on nausea really have that much charm?

I, Nazha, am not convinced!
