He patted Qin Guan's file and said, "Make a collection of his performances at the show and the New York Fashion Week. You'll benefit from it."
It was self-evident to the chief designer that CK would make a big move next year. Thanks to Qin Guan's sharp eyes, he had caught the attention of the relevant higher-ups.
When he got home, Qin Guan received a series of messages on his phone. His work had been settled by then, so all that was left was the homework of the old men at school.
There was also a message from Xu Xiaoxiao, which said, "Call me back."
Xu Xiaoxiao answered, "Qin Guan, you have to come to my grandpa's birthday party tomorrow. You have to come and help me."
After practicing for so long, it was finally time to show it to the real world.
"No problem. See you tomorrow. By the way, what should I wear? Is there anything special about the gift? "
"Oh, for the younger generation, there might be a cocktail party in the garden on the top floor after the banquet. It seems that you like it. Let's go, shall we? As for my grandpa, what hasn't he seen? You coming is the best gift he could ask for. "
Would a naughty boy go to someone's birthday party empty-handed?
Qin Guan was not in a hurry. He had many ways to treat the old man.
The next night, Qin Guan wanted to attend the party with Cong Nianwei, but Cong Nianwei and Wendy stood in front of him apologetically. She had joined an architectural design interest group at Columbia University.
There were a lot of design-related work and exhibitions inside, so she had no time to attend to other things. Coincidentally, Wendy was also one of them. Because they had met in the early days, the two of them had become friends with similar temperaments.
He straightened his black bow tie and called Xu Xiaoxiao in front of the ancient mansion.
"Here, here! D Let him in! He's my friend!" The honest Asian man at the door saw Xu's head poking out of the second floor. He patted Qin Guan on the waist and let him in.
A shrine with three joss sticks on it was very eye-catching in the spacious and fashionable hall.
It was really strange that such a traditional thing existed in this villa of pure American design.
Qin Guan followed Xu to a small hall on the second floor, where a small stage had been set up. It was big enough to hold 100 people and perform a small martial arts play.
"What do you think? Take a look at my appearance? What do you think? "Xu pulled Qin Guan to the dressing table behind the stage.
Can I tell the truth? When you were impersonating Sun Wukong, you were like Pigsy. This Magu must have been swollen for many days to cause her current state.
Translator: Lan _ Editor: Efydatia Qin Guan looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, who was covered by thick paint. He reminded him, "Stand on the stage and don't move. Stand in the posture I taught you. When you're done singing, get off the stage."
Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't move while he was performing, but if he moved, what would happen? There was a subtle sense of bravery about him, just like how Li Kui split a tiger and Zhang Fei whipped the fat Inspection Deputy of the Prefect.
"Alas!" Xu answered without hesitation. Qin Guan took out the gift from his pocket.
"Based on how you usually describe it, I think your grandpa will like it a lot."
Qin Guan took out a delicate snuff bottle, no more than half a finger long. It was made of transparent glass and had no exaggerated embossment.
It was made of a red coral cap and a red koi carp, which made it look like an exquisite picture of hundreds of fish.
The meaning was very good, and the gift was even more exquisite. The built-in hollowed out painting technique added a trace of ancient value to the snuff bottle.
"By the way, it's hard to buy good snuff in China. I don't know what my grandfather likes. I only took a small amount with me when I went abroad. After all, it's troublesome to go through the border inspection."
Qin Guan took out a small box, which was more simple and unadorned. It was a top product from the Tianhui House in Dashilan, Beijing, during the Qing dynasty.
Although there were fewer and fewer people playing with snuff due to the advancement of the development of cigarettes, the older generation still passed down this thing that was full of nostalgia. Nowadays, the snuff bottles were more often held in their hands and played with.
As a banana man, Xu had never seen such a rare thing before. Before Qin Guan could react, he grabbed the snuff box.
"I'll give it to you in person. I'll keep the gift."
While the two of them were chatting happily, it didn't take long for people to come up to the second floor.
The guests were very punctual. They found their seats according to the nameplates. Qin Guan glanced through the gaps in the curtains and felt the solemnity in the hall.
They were all Asian people, chatting happily. Qin Guan had a vague idea about the power of Xu's family.
When a hale and hearty, lean old man dressed in a Tang suit sat down at the head of the table, surrounded by the crowd, Papa Xu and the others began to set up the banquet.
"What? Where is Xu Xiaoxiao? " "Grandpa Xu is strict, but he cares about his eldest grandson the most.
Papa Xu was aware of his son's antics. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Dad, everyone is here. Let's start the banquet. That kid will be here soon."
Grandpa Xu looked around and waved his hand casually. "Let's get started."
The foreman on the stage got the signal from the host, and the instrumental gongs and drums were played. Since it was the old man's birthday banquet, Magu's birthday greeting was a must.
As soon as the curtain at the backstage was pulled up, a big and beautiful female star moved out and started to sing according to the rhythm of the music.
"Yao Chi has sealed the Holy Mother's life. She took a bottle of wine..."
As soon as Xu Xiaoxiao started to sing, the old and young men, who had wanted to get closer to him, stopped talking. They all froze.
To put it bluntly, these people had watched Xu Xiaoxiao grow up. When he had first come up, his face had been covered with paint, so they hadn't recognized him. However, when he had a clear voice, they had seen through his disguise.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
"Good! You sang well! "
Grandpa Xu spat out a mouthful of tea. Xu's father smiled awkwardly. "Slow down, Grandpa."
