Words:1576Update:22/07/01 05:37:48
What happened in the later days of '99? The opening of the first Shanghai International Art Festival? Scientists decoding the genetic code of the 22nd pair of human chromosomes? Or the return of China's sovereignty over Macau?
None of this mattered to Qin Guan. He went to school and slept as usual. Why didn't he have a part-time job? He was bored!
Qin Guan didn't know which hard-working guy had taken over most of his part-time jobs. He didn't think too much about it. The annual examination season was coming. What was a student's duty? Qin Guan shouted to comfort himself, "Study!"
Sister Xue was the most hungry agent on the list. Except for the winter posters of the J shirts, she had nothing else to do but talk about the latest Rayli and ELLE collections.
The two magazines were released on the same day, so different girls saw Qin Guan at the same time.
Shao Xiaobing was holding the latest Rayli magazine. Compared to him, Qin Guan looked even colder and more arrogant. He silently put the magazine on the corner of the tea table.
The young girls of Ruili saw Qin Guan's fresh face. Compared with the greasy cream cakes, the slightly bitter chocolate was always more popular.
Compared to the cute models, Qin Guan's arrogance caused screams. The readers ignored Qin Guan, who was smiling and holding hands with a female model. Instead, they were drooling over the photos of Qin Guan and Shao Xiaobing.
The girls, who were still in high school, took out Rayli magazines during the break and stared at Qin Guan's well-defined body.
Some of Shao's fans betrayed their families, so Qin Guan's tough cowboy style attracted the attention of the manufacturers.
If Shao had known that his action would lead to Qin Guan getting the LEE endorsement, he would have been generous enough to give Qin Guan a chance to smile brightly in front of the camera.
As for the readers of ELLE, they were freed from their heavy work on a sunny afternoon. They ordered a cup of sweet cappuccino and relaxed with Qin Guan's exquisite afternoon tea.
They would kindly keep the magazine in their own lockers and buy some of the exquisite accessories in the photos to show off at parties.
Those who liked to cut newspaper clippings would also collect the exquisite photos of the models into a book as a souvenir of fashion. Maybe someone or some family had left their mark on it.
As for the sales of the two magazines, the two editors were quite rational. The influence of an inside page model had increased the sales of the posters by 20%.
Qin Guan was a potential commercial model in the two chief editors' minds.
Don't talk about avant-garde models to the editors of magazines, and don't talk about personality with the general public. Advertising income was the foundation for them to make money, just like movies didn't need box office poisons.
Translator: Lan _ Editor: Efydatia Before the influence of the photos on Qin Guan's life had even begun, the entrance exam for the Capital University of Finance and Economics had arrived. Qin Guan walked into the examination room like a king under the admiring gazes of all the students.
He waved his hands and gestured to the students around him. They all sat down at the same time. If there had been a voice-over behind the scenes, they would have hung the words "All rise" on Qin Guan's back.
As the papers were distributed, Qin Guan was surrounded by all the students, like a moon surrounded by stars.
As Qin Guan wrote, the students around him began to copy. In a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, they finished the exam happily and cooperatively.
Just like that, he earned enough money for his meals for the next semester.
After the exam, Qin Guan didn't go home with Cong Nianwei for the first time. He was going back to his grandmother's house for the traditional Spring Festival.
Qin Guan's grandmother was a conservative old lady who cared about her family. She had worked hard all her life, and her biggest wish was for the safety of her children.
Qin Guan's father had gone out to study when he was very young. After graduation, he hadn't returned to his hometown.
Qin Guan's eldest uncle had taken on the responsibility of being the eldest son, supporting his parents and taking care of the fields in the village. Qin Guan's father had tried many times to invite his grandparents to live with him in Y City, but they were too attached to the land to abandon the crops that they had taken care of for a long time.
This year, Qin Guan would go back to his hometown with his parents for a long vacation. He would be the representative of his family and spend time with his grandparents.
Qin Guan's father looked excited as they approached the village road. He felt warm in his heart as he looked at the familiar poplar road.
Qin Guan's grandmother had been waiting at the door for a long time, feeding the chickens and looking into the distance. When she saw the car approaching, she stood up from her stool excitedly. She brushed the dust off her clothes and walked up to the car.
Qin Guan's parents were busy moving the New Year's goods out of the car, while Qin Guan was carried into the yard by his grandmother. A bowl of steaming hot noodles with gravy was placed in front of Qin Guan.
As the old saying goes, the youngest son and eldest grandson are the apple of the eye of the old lady. As the eldest son of the third generation of the Qin family, Qin Guan was the apple of his grandmother's eye.
Sitting on the hot brick bed, Qin Guan looked through the window at Qin Guan's father, who was assigned to do farm work by his grandfather. He slurped a mouthful of hot noodles.
Smooth egg pudding with diced lean meat, diced cabbage, and some dried shrimps made by Grandma herself. It was so delicious that you could swallow your tongue.
When Qin Guan finished the bowl of noodles, Qin Guan's father entered the room, trembling, and drank some soup while his grandfather nagged at him.
Qin Guan's mother was chatting with his grandmother on the brick bed, picking vegetables. Qin Guan's father was being scolded by his older brother and younger brother, while Qin Guan took his younger brothers and sisters out to have fun.
Qin Guan was confused as to why he was the eldest. In this village, the most prominent surname was Qin. If he really went out, according to seniority, some of the villagers with long beards would have to call him uncle.
The villagers had moved there during the war of the Qin Dynasty. There was a thick pile of genealogy records of the Qin family. Their ancestors had been in charge of offering sacrifices and making official pottery during the Qin Dynasty. They had been passed down from generation to generation, but there had never been a famous person in history.
The highest official recorded in the ancestral hall of the village was a Qianhu of the Brocade Guard of the Ming Dynasty, which was the only one in the surrounding villages.
