71 Unexpected Gains
Walking out of the Chanel company building, Sidiffin quietly hugged his good friend's shoulder: "Leah, this... is nothing. There are other opportunities, aren't it?"
Gloria lowered her head slightly, blinked hard, forcibly forced the tears in her eyes back, and squeezed out a smile to her good friend: "Yes, there is still a chance. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to say congratulations."
Looking at her expression, Sidiffin was no longer happy to be selected: "...Tom? Tom?"
A man standing behind the two men walked slowly over: "Yes?"
Sidiffin wanted to fight for Gloria, but he also knew that Tom was just an agent, and he was a very unsuccessful agent in the agency. He had no room for speaking in front of the boss, let alone other fashion designers. He had to stomp his feet hard: "Tom, can you only choose some flying girls like Monica and Willie? I mean, even a company like Chanel?"
She couldn't say clearly, but, as the person beside her, Tom could still understand. He lifted up his eyelids and looked at Gloria next to him. He also felt a little sorry: a pretty girl, it can be said that her appearance is the first among the girls he masters. It was just because she was thin and had a little... cold and arrogant, so she couldn't get the chance. But she was the type of body that wouldn't be fat no matter how she ate it, which was simply embarrassing!
After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly thought of something: "Leah, if anyone asks, I will definitely deny what I said today."
"Eh?" Gloria's mind was very quick: "Yes?"
"Do you know Monica, Willie, Emma and the others?"
"..." Gloria's face flashed quickly. A hint of anger. Who doesn't know the most popular model in the New York fashion industry? What is this for?
"So, do you know? They were just like you at the beginning, and they were very ordinary ballerinas. I'm sorry, not even considered actors, but they were students. They just learned this magical pace earlier than more people, and now they have achieved such success?"
"Yes, I know this. It seems that a Japanese did it?"
"That's right!" Tom nodded: "His name is Ike. Now he has a brand house on the Seventh Street in the Upper Town. Of course, he is also displaying and selling clothing. However, I think he may also need some models. If... you think you can work with the Japanese, you might as well go and find him once. Maybe he will give you a chance?"
"Japanese?" Gloria burst into tears: "You mean, let me cooperate with the Japanese? That's the idea you, as a model agent, gave me?"
"Hey! Leah, I'm just talking about the matter. If you don't like it, forget it. Sidiffin, my dear, let's go?"
Sidefen waved his hand: "I want to send Leah back first."
"Oh, no, no need. I can go back by myself." Gloria pushed her good friend: "Today is your big day, don't delay my trial costume and performance."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, yes, I'm sure."
After seeing off Sidiffin, Gloria wandered around New York City in a freezing manner. It was still very cold at the end of January. After sitting on the bench in Central Park for a few minutes, she felt that her legs were about to be frozen. She quickly stood up.
I walked slowly on the streets of New York and waved several taxis over. Hell, I didn’t even have the money to make a taxi! I was so hungry that I was rumbling. Obviously, the calories I had been replenished in the morning had been digested.
Walking aimlessly on the road, I suddenly looked up and came to the Seventh Street of Shangcheng District. What Japanese people are talking about? Maybe, in order to fill my stomach, you can also consider working with him? Thinking in my mind, my eyes browsing the shops on the street, and soon, the sign of the Ike brand house came into my eyes. Looking outside the door, there was no huge window like a store, and the door was quiet. It took a while before one or two pedestrians passed by the street, but they even had the interest to look inside!
Gloria no longer hesitated and pushed the door open and walked in. The inside was as quiet as what she saw outside. A few girls were sitting or standing, chatting in the lowest voice. There was a clothes rack in the corner of the hall, and the clothes were covered with clothes, and small white strips of cloth were decorated with. Although Gloria had not experienced many performances, she probably knew that this was for tailor-made for customers and just waiting to pick up the goods. Next to the clothes was a curtain. Needless to ask, this was the dressing room. The goose yellow curtain was washed very clean, and you could smell the fragrance of detergent when you got close.
Turning her face to the side, she was stunned for a moment. A man stood in front of a large drawing board and was painting with a pencil. He saw that there were no models or references in front of him, and he didn't know what he was painting. An Asian face looked quite pretty, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her eyes were staring at the drawing board, and her hands and the pencil sandwiched between her fingers seemed to solidify in the air, motionless.
"sorry?"
A call woke up several people in the hall. A girl interrupted her conversation with her friend and stepped forward to her: "Yes, ma'am? Is there anything I can help you?"
Gloria blushed. She felt embarrassed to come to her door without any introduction: "I want to find Mr. Ike, a designer from Japan."
"have……"
"Okay, Miss Dorothy. Let me do it." Aifei walked to Gloria and stretched out his hand to her: "Hello, I am Ike. Is there anything I can serve you?"
I don't know if it's shy or cold, Gloria's face turned red: "I'm... Gloria Paltrow, I think, oh, I'm a student at Lawrence Dance Academy, I think, you may, may, need a model for yours..."
Ai Fei's eyebrows frowned even more: "Model? Who told you that I need a model?"
"Sorry," Gloria's heart was cold: "It's time to bother you, goodbye."
"Sorry, please wait." Ai Fei looked at the thin girl's pitiful face, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart, and he suddenly stopped her: "Miss Paltrow, right? Sorry, I was unintentionally rude, but... I really don't have the need for a model recently. However, if you think you can, I think I can arrange a... showcase the model for you."
“Show models?”
"Simply put, in my brand house, you put on the clothes I designed to show your guests." He turned around and pointed to the clothes all over the room: "I think you saw it too? I have a lot of clothes, of course, more of them are customized products for customers, but some are also my new design styles, which requires a model like you. Sorry, I mean, formal models, not those clothes racks."
He said this, Gloria had already understood: "I understand, just use living people to make clothes racks?"
Ai Fei burst out laughing: "Don't say such things on the street, otherwise the police would think I was doing a living anatomy! You know, since 41 years later, Americans have no good feelings for the Japanese."
"Gee!" A group of girls in the hall laughed at the same time. Even Gloria smiled at it.
"How about it, can you agree?"
"So, what about my working hours and work pay?"
"Work 5 days a week. Two hours in the morning, from 9:20 to 11:20, two hours in the afternoon, from 13:30 to 15:30. This is the time of winter and the schedule of summer will be extended by one hour or two hours in the afternoon. For details, I will negotiate with you. Well, as for the month starting from the work pay, you will be given 360 US dollars a month. If your performance can satisfy me, it will increase to 400 US dollars a month from the second month."
"Are you kidding?"
"I know that 4 hours a day, 20 hours a week, 80 hours a month, this price cannot be considered very high. If you feel unsatisfied, I can and we can discuss it again."
Gloria burst into laughter. She was a very beautiful girl with a slender figure, bright facial features, and long reddish brown hair scattered behind her neck. It was just because there was no smile on her face, which made her look a little difficult to approach. This time she smiled immediately made her look bright and charming!
"Eh? What's wrong?"
"Is it...I mean, if you take the initiative to raise my salary every time I say 'Are you kidding?', that's a blessing!"
Ai Fei was stunned for a moment: "You mean?"
"I agree with everything you said just now. When can we sign a contract?"
"There are still some details. Please come with me." He led the girl to her drawing board and brought her a chair: "Miss Paston, right? I have some questions to ask you. Of course, I believe that a lady like you will be able to pass easily. Sophia?"
"Yes? Sir."
"Give me a form."
"Yes."
After taking the form, Ai Fei put it on the drawing board. His name, address, age, height, weight, contact number, whether he has bad habits, whether he has a boyfriend, whether he has a contracted agency, etc., asked about the situation, and handed her the filled-in form: "Look, if you think it is OK, please sign your name."
Gloria took the form and carefully looked at it and signed her name: "When can I go to work?"
"Gugugugugugugugugugu!" A thunderous sound came, making the girl's face turn red: "I'm sorry!"
"Nothing. I'm a little hungry, too." Ai Fei put the table down and stood up: "Sofia, let's have a meal?"
"Yes, sir. I just called the restaurant and they've come out."
This was the first time Gloria knew that the company she served was in charge of the rice? This was so surprising. While thinking, a few young men walked into the door, holding the lunch box in their hands, opened it in the hall, and there were just baked muffins, newly baked French toast and steak!?
But these things cost a lot of money, right? Gloria really couldn't believe that he... why did he always spend money indiscriminately?
The girl named Sophia saw her surprise and walked over with a smile: "Do you think it's strange? Mr. Ike is a very good person. You will know after working here for a long time. Well, what do you need?"
