Chapter 147
The RAmer Charity Gala could be considered the biggest party in the fashion industry.
The party was usually held in the middle or end of each year. Every time, the organizer was bound to be a world-famous top luxury brand. At the same time, it invited famous supermodels, designers, entertainment stars, directors and major giants from other industries to the party.
At this party, you might see the world’s most famous top models. You might also see sports champions who just won the Olympic gold medal. You might see the world’s most beautiful actress or meet prestigious ladies.
Not every industry’s top figures and celebrities could get an invitation from the RAmer Charity Gala. But as long as they received an invitation, they were sure to be leaders of their industry.
Therefore, Ming Yu was somewhat surprised when he received this invitation. You know, the invitation list for the RAmer Charity Gala was decided in the first half of the year. He suddenly received an invitation one month before the party?
However, Luo Cheng answered this question. “Ming Yu, your invitation was set up as an invisible invitation in the first half of the year. As long as you became a supermodel before the party, this invitation would be delivered to you. If you didn’t, this invitation would be void.”
Please note that an invitation letter could be sold for a huge 100,000 yuan on the outside and it couldn’t be easily bought. Ming Yu didn’t expect that Rosalind would be so optimistic about him, directly giving him an invitation for no reason.
However, Xi Ze wasn’t surprised. “I have a good relationship with Rosalind’s chief designer, Raymond.”
Ming Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow at these words. “What do you mean? He saw your face and gave me an invitation letter?”
Xi Ze looked the youth up and down then smiled. “Do you have no confidence in yourself?”
Ming Xiaoyu retorted, “I have no confidence in your evil intentions.”
Xi Ze sighed and said like he was wronged. “He doesn’t know my relationship with you. Raymond is a very sinister person. Cecilia is a good seed that he dug up. He probably values your potential very much. If I’m not wrong, he will take the initiative to talk to you at this dinner.”
Cecilia Cote, the world’s number one female supermodel.
This angel supermodel was only 20 years old but she had become the dream goddess of countless people around the world. Cecilia’s qualifications were indeed very good. But some of her dazzling achievements were related to Rosalind’s chief designer Raymond, who she had a connection with.
Ming Xiaoyu was curious when he heard this. “Mr. Raymond has Cecilia Cote. What about you?”
The implication was that the world’s top designers would raise excellent models. Often, these models would be their favourites and often model for them.
However, Xi Ze was a top master of the same level and didn’t seem to have a favourite model.
Ming Xiaoyu didn’t expect this handsome and indifferent man to look at him with a sad look before sighing. “In November of last year, I wanted to raise a small model into the sky. But the model disliked me and refused me harshly.”
Small model Ming Yu, “^_^ #”
Xi Ze didn’t stop sighing. “Raymond has Cecilia, Essarica has Adenes and I have nothing. Aren’t I pitiful?”
Ming Xiaoyu sneered at him and said, “Why do you need someone else? Mr. Xi, aren’t you enough?”
Xi Ze immediately held the youth’s hand. “I don’t want anyone else. I want you.”
This type of sweet talk was very useful. By the time the plane landed, Ming Xiaoyu was no longer so angry. The two people continued talking and laughing. Zhao Rui and Luo Ru, who slept all the way, were surprised at the sight. They could only look at each other helplessly.
After resting in the United States for two days, the annual RAmer Charity Gala was finally about to begin.
Since this was called a charity party, it must be held for a charity. Every year, the guests and investors who attended this charity evening would donate a huge amount of money to repair several famous art museums around the world.
This year’s RAmer Charity Gala was hosted by the top luxury brand, Rosalind. Perhaps because this year the brand hired a supermodel from Huaxia, Luo Cheng as the global spokesperson. The theme of this charity party was—
『 Huaxia: Millennium Feng Shui, Bright Treasures. 』
Don’t underestimate this theme. Every year, the RAmer Charity Gala would announce the theme of the party at the same time of the invitations. It was because they needed to let the attendees know what type of clothes they needed to wear and the type of makeup to be shown at the party.
Yes, the party theme was the clothing theme for every guest present.
Some guests with numerous high-end clothing didn’t have to worry about this problem because they had too many outfits. Even if the theme was too remote, they could find an outfit that suited it. But for some guests, they would need to borrow an outfit and or contact the studio to customize their outfit.
This wasn’t an ordinary charity party. It was a feast of fashion and jewelry.
Originally after accepting the invitation, Ming Yu planned to wear the outfit designed by Fei Sixin to the party.
This ‘Millennium Feng Shui’ seemed a bit strange and some people couldn’t guess what it meant. But the theme of Huaxia and Bright Treasures was completely covered by Fei Sixin’s outfit.
There were strings of crystal clear diamonds on the outfit, like it was born for this party.
However, Ming Xiaoyu didn’t end up bring the outfit. When he was packing his luggage, he took the outfit out of his cloakroom and intended to let Luo Ru take it away the next day. She would prepare it to be taken to the United States.
But when he took it out, his idle neighbour Xi Ze saw it!
The neighbour asked with dissatisfaction. “Are you going to wear this outfit?”
Ming Xiaoyu replied naturally. “Yes, this outfit is very beautiful and also very suitable for the theme.” The most important thing was that he three high-end outfits in total. One was the outfit Xi Ze previously gave me, one he bought later and the last one was…
The words were too awkward to say. Ming Xiaoyu was deeply saddened and didn’t say it.
Bu Xi Ze looked very dissatisfied. “How can you wear a woman’s clothing in front of my face to go to the party?”
Xi Ze was also attending the party so he didn’t say anything wrong.
However, the young man raised his eyebrows disdainfully at the words and asked. “What is ‘wearing an outfit by a woman’? There will be no problem if I wear an outfit made by a male designer? Hey, you are still sexist Mr. Xi.”
Xi Ze’s mouth slightly twitched. “…”
It was impossible for Xi Ze to be like this. He definitely didn’t discriminate by gender. Even if it was an outfit by a male designer, it couldn’t be worn!
His own lover, his muse was attending the same party and he was wearing clothes designed by others!
Was this appropriate?
How could this be?
This was simply hitting him in the face!
It wasn’t allowed! Absolutely not!
But even if Mr. Xi didn’t allow it, there would only be a week or so left before the party started. In the face of Ming Xiaoyu’s ‘I will ignore you’, Mr. Xi solemnly brought together all the designers and tailors of Ji and Ya and held a meeting.
Ming Xiaoyu naturally didn’t know about this meeting. He only knew that six days later, he received an exquisite high-end outfit.
“How could you make an outfit so soon? It is impossible. It was only six days!”
Xi Ze calmly shook his head and said, “In front of me, there is nothing impossible in the world. But you wearing another person’s outfit while attending the same party as me, that is the last thing I want to see.”
Ming Xiaoyu looked the man up and down with suspicion. But Xi Ze just stood there and acted casually, as if it was just a trivial matter.
In the end, Ming Yu didn’t receive an explanation. He only thought that Xi Ze had been hiding an outfit since long ago.
He certainly didn’t think that in the past six days, all the best designers and tailors of Ji and Ya experienced six days of darkness.
The value of this outfit was around one million yuan. The materials were one thing but the work was even more exquisite. The time limit was quite short but these masters didn’t cut corners. They solemnly carried out each process to ensure that the outfit was seamless.
There was no reason for it. It was just that their admirable chief designer spoke in a pleading tone they had never seen before. He said quite seriously:
『 Elder Chen, Elder Li, Alice, Ding Shu, Emile… I have been with Ji and Ya for more than 10 years and you also watched me grow up. Tell me, how can I watch my lover wear someone else’s outfit and walk on the red carpet of the RAmer party? 』
『 This will be the ultimate event of my life! 』
—What was Xi Ze saying?
—An ultimate event? It was just an outfit!
Although both the author and readers thought so, Elder Chen, Elder Li and the other designers and tailors didn’t think so.
The RAmer Charity Gala was the top feast of the fashion world! If the lover of a top design master wore an outfit designed by someone else at such a party, it would definitely shame Xi Ze. It would definitely shame Ji and Ya!
What was a week?
It was a day! They also had to make an outfit…well, it wouldn’t come out in a day.
If Rosalind was really so crazy as to send an invitation letter the day before, they would lose their face in front of Xi Ze. Anyway, no one knew who his lover was… wait a minute? They didn’t kow who Xi Ze’s lover was!
The moment they saw the person wearing this outfit, they would know who Xi Ze’s lover was. The group of masters were seriously excited and spent six days in the studio making the outfit with Xi Ze.
On September 15th, 2017, the eyes of the world were placed on New York, USA.
Everyone was looking forward to the appearance of famous celebrities in this fashion feast.
Of course, they didn’t know that in the famous Ji and Ya studio, all the masters were waiting to know: In the end, who is Xi Ze’s lover? o（*≧▽≦）ツ～！

Chapter 148
At 7PM on September 15th, 2017, New York time, countless gorgeous luxury limousines slowly stopped in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The beautiful bodies were reflected in the moonlight.
The red carpet laid on the road was hand-woven from the finest wool and was expensive. It was airlifted from Italy and used exclusively as the carpet for the RAmer Charity Gala.
In general, this type of carpet would only appear in the homes of wealthy people and there would never be such a big piece.
But tonight, Rosalind used this handmade rug extravagantly, allowing countless people to step on it, not paying attention to this gorgeous fabric.
The entire red carpet was filled with the flashing lights of the reporters. Together with the lights that were arranged by the venue, the night shone as brightly as the day.
This was the feast of the entire fashion industry that took place once a year. The red carpet part that took place before the dinner was called the ‘Oscars of fashion’. It was no wonder that such high-end equipment would be used.
The carpet was extremely expensive and the surrounding lighting equipment and decorations were perfect. But in fact, the celebrities walking here were the most attractive thing. The high-end clothing they wore was the focus of countless reporters.
“That is the outfit from Garcia’s high-end show last year!”
“This outfit seems to have been specially made for Karman by Rosalind. Every piece of jewelry on it is worth thousands of dollars!”
“Ah! It is the opening dress from Ji and Ya’s high-end show in July this year! The embroidery seems to be the crane of Huaxia, which is said to be a sign of auspiciousness!”
─────────────────────
Since the theme of the RAmer Charity Gala was ‘Huaxia: Millennium Feng Shui, Bright Treasures’, the clothing worn by the guests were bound to have a great connection to Huaxia.
It was probably also for this reason that many high-end dresses worn by many women on the red carpet were specially made by the high-end studios in Huaxia. Many people looked for these studios and borrowed outfits.
After all, this type of clothing could only be worn on important occasions. The high price of these outfits was too much for some ordinary fashion shows. Since it was only once, it would be better to borrow the outfit than to buy it.
Even for the top people in the entertainment and fashion industry, not everyone had the money to spend millions to buy an outfit. Of course, there was one person who spent six days creating an outfit worth millions just because of his exclusive mentality. ╮（╯＿╰）╭
For the time being, let’s not talk about Mr. Xi who had a strong jealousy. Although Ming Xiaoyu arrived in the United States with Xi Ze and lived in the same hotel, he didn’t intend to walk the red carpet with Xi Ze.
Xi Ze’s identity as the representative of the fashion industry meant he was the finale.
Generally speaking, most of the people who walked the red carpet at this party were in pairs. Apart from a few same-sex couples and very good partners, all the guests walking the red carpet were in the form of ‘one man and one woman.’
Of course, there was also the existence of Xi Ze, whose identity was too noble that there was no problem walking the red carpet alone. He could choose to walk alone or with a companion.
However, even if Xi Ze bullied or tried to tempt Ming Xiaoyu to walk down the red carpet with him, Ming Xiaoyu didn’t agree.
“You have three identities when walking on this red carpet. The first is the world’s number one supermodel, the second is the majority shareholder of Muse and third is chief designer of Ji and Ya. So Mr. Xi, what identity do you think is suitable for you to walk with me?” Ming Xiaoyu paused before adding, “But if you wear women’s clothing and are willing to be my female companion, it is quite suitable.”
Xi Ze, “…”
Therefore, they didn’t walk down the red carpet together.
Before coming to the United States, Ming Xiaoyu wanted to invite Xu Rongrong as his female companion through the company relationship. However, it was a pity that Xu Rongrong received the invitation half a year ago and had already found a male partner. She could only regretfully decline Ming Yu’s proposal.
However, there must be a road in front of a mountain. Shen Xiang was responsible for this matter and quickly found an American female celebrity as his female companion.
The female star spent hundreds of thousands of dollars last month and bought an invitation to the charity party.
As mentioned before, it might not be possible to buy an invitation to the RAmer Charity Gala even if you had money. Of course, it was absolutely impossible to buy if you didn’t have money. Being able to enter the party was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many people. This evening, the elites of the upper class gathered everywhere, all of them ‘gold’ class.
Even in Huaxia, there was a saying—
[As long as you are not Xi Ze in the fashion industry, a small plum of the entertainment industry, Beckham in the sports world or Bates of Wall Street, you might be mistaken as an ordinary waiter in the RAmer Charity Gala. This party was that famous!]
Thus, in order to enter the party, the female celebrity used numerous relationships and finally bought an invitation letter last month. But after buying the invitation letter, she encountered the same problem as Ming Xiaoyu. No male partner!
As a result, the two people who never met were randomly gathered together.
In fact, Ming Xiaoyu had actually seen the movie of this female star. Mudley Joyce was a popular newcomer in Hollywood in recent years. She played the supporting actress in many Hollywood blockbusters. She was beautiful and tall.
A few months ago, Ming Xiaoyu and Xi Ze were bored at home and watched a movie. It happened to be the one that made this female actress famous.
The two people’s attention were on other things and they didn’t pay much attention to the movie. But Ming Xiaoyu believed that this Mudley’s acting was very good. If she was given a chance, she would soar.
In the early morning of the same day, Mudley drove to the hotel where Ming Yu stayed. The two people were going to walk together on ther ed carpet so it was natural to take the same car.
As Ming Xiaoyu put on his outfit in the next room, Mudley was putting on makeup. Ming Xiaoyu had Sister Zheng help him with a light makeup, Mudley was putting on makeup. Ming Xiaoyu asked Sister Zheng to tidy up his hairstyle, Mudley was putting on makeup. Ming Xiaoyu put on the Feilu watch and walked out the door, Mudley was…
Finally finished her makeup! ≧︿≦!!!
This charity party had too much value for Mudley. After she finished her makeup, she spent hours on her hair. By the time the two people actually entered the venue by car, half of the guests had entered the venue. There were only a few guests who hadn’t arrived yet.
A black Bentley slowly parked in front of the red carpet, attracting the attention of countless reporters.
This was the car that Ming Xiaoyu borrowed from Xi Ze…cough, yes, it was borrowed.
After all, Ming Yu had just become a supermodel and hadn’t yet appeared on the rankings. His reputation was probably worse than that of Mudley. However, his gentlemanly nature meant it was impossible for him to let the lady prepare the vehicle. Thus, Ming Xiaoyu could only seek to impress by feigning his abilities and borrow a car from Xi Ze.
When it came to borrowing a car, Ming Xiaoyu really wanted to wipe his bitter tears.
Xi Ze heard that Ming Yu wanted to borrow a car to go to the party with a female companion and tasted thick vinegar! It would pass halfway across the Earth to Huaxia!
Therefore, Ming Xiaoyu could only sign a variety of ‘sacrifice and humiliation’ agreements before finally borrowing the car.
But even if the car was worth millions, Mudley disregarded it. She had a ‘not very impressed’ face, making Ming Xiaoyu secretly frown.
Yes, they would naturally get more attention if they got down from a Rolls Royce.
But the Bentley was worth more than four million. Even Xi Ze chose to sit in a car that was only three million, lending the more expensive car to his lover.
—Ming Yu wasn’t famous so he had to make up for it with other things.
After becoming aware of Mudley’s arrogance, Ming Yu lost his goodwill for this Hollywood newcomer. He decided that after going down the red carpet and reaching the venue, they would formally part ways.
The moment the youth came down from the car, the flashes gathered on the car seemed to stop.
If it was only Ming Yu, the reporters wouldn’t be so surprised. After all, Ming Yu’s current popularity had already spread to the United States. Even if his appeaance was stunning, the reporters from all over the world wouldn’t be stunned for a moment.
The thing that really shocked everyone was the outfit on Ming Yu.
The pure white high-end suit looked like it was made of cashmere or camel, but even these two top fabrics had different grades. A designer walking before Ming Yu inadvertently glanced over and couldn’t help whispering, “The top rated camel!”
Yes, the fabric of this outfit was made of the softest fluff under the belly of a camel. The gentle and delicate texture could be seen with the naked eye. Even a layman could feel the high quality with a touch.
If this top fabric was an amazing element, what made the reporters even more amazing was the gorgeous cut of the outfit. There was the dazzling embroidery and graceful gemstone pattern set in the neckline that was in the shape of a dragon and a phoenix.
Hidden under the white cloth was sparkling silver wire. This craftsmanship reached the world’s top level. Otherwise, it would be impossible to evenly divide so many silver wires into the camel hair to achieve such a bright effect.
This unique tailoring design had never been seen by these reporters.
At least half of the hundreds of guests were men. However, the reporters didn’t feel so amazed at their outfits. Instead, they felt that the outfits were completely inferior to the one on Ming Yu.
The exquisite gem setting technique and the unique design style was enough to make people marvel.
However, many reporters were shocked to find that under such a top grade high-end suit, the youth wasn’t the slightest bit inferior. He actually made this outfit his foil!
The slightly long hair hung down the face line, the black hair on the right side tucked behind the ear, revealing a brilliant black diamond!
The black diamond was especially precious because of its scarce quantity.
The black diamond was always a favourite with men because it was elegant and wise, deep and expensive. For example, the well-known ‘Black Orlov’ was a famous representative of the black diamond. The diamond had been exhibited numerous times in the world, the name even taken from a Russian princess.
In the dark and silent night, the young man in a white suit was tall and handsome. There was a bright and gentle smile on the uniquely soft face of a Huaxia person, the black diamond shining on his earlobe. The air seemed to stagnate for a while, causing people to feel admiration.
The appearance and temperament of Ming Yu was naturally recognized by the fashion industry.
Now, as everyone was focused on him, he took the initiative to walk to the side of the car, bend down and held a woman’s slender wrist.
Everyone couldn’t help wondering. Who was it who could stand with such a dazzling youth and become the focus of the audience?
