2249 Twins
After a while, Sheng Lan went elsewhere to socialize, so Qiao Weiyang did not continue to follow her.
Only then did Tao Huan realize that Qiao Weiyang exchanged pleasantries with Sheng Lan because of her. She quickly said, “Thank you, Sister Weiyang.”
“You’re welcome. I also like Senior Sheng’s movies very much.”
As the two of them spoke, they heard a cry from the other side. “Oh my, how could I be so careless?”
Qiao Weiyang looked over. The crowd was gathering over.
She immediately walked over. It turned out that a waiter had accidentally poured wine on Sheng Lan and dirtied her evening gown.
Sheng Lan’s assistant and manager were helping to wipe it down. The person in charge of the hotel was blaming the waiter.
“Forget it. Don’t blame him anymore.” Sheng Lan spoke fluently in N Country’s language. “I’ll handle it myself.”
“Then I’ll get someone to clean you up immediately and prepare a change of clothes for you,” the person in charge said quickly.
The manager said, “Bring the clothes over.”
The person in charge quickly asked a waiter to bring a spare set of clothes to Sheng Lan.
However, the manager’s anger did not subside. She complained in his native language, “This spare set of clothes is just a set of pajamas. It’s more suitable for sleeping, but you’re going on stage later to take a photo and speak! You’re representing the cultural exchange between the two countries this time! I’ll go out immediately and see if I can buy a dress.”
“I’m indeed a little unlucky today,” Sheng Lan said indifferently. “I was supposed to leave tomorrow, so I only prepared two dresses. However, one of them was stained by the doorman when I went out. Now, this second dress was stained by the waiter. Tsk.”
However, she immediately laughed heartily. “Who cares? If I can’t wash it well later, I’ll just go on stage like this. I’m not a young woman anymore. What’s there to be afraid of?”
The manager said helplessly, “Oh my god, this is a cultural exchange between two countries, not your own salon party! Let’s not talk about it anymore. I’ll go right away.”
“Senior Sheng!” Qiao Weiyang stopped her.
The manager was a little vigilant. She had always had such an attitude toward these young artistes.
It was no wonder that her attitude was bad. In the past year, there had been at least 20 to 30 people who wanted to curry favor with Sheng Lan. After all, Sheng Lan was not only famous. After so many years of being in the industry, her status and resources were unparalleled in the circle.
“Weiyang, why are you looking for me?” Sheng Lan patted her manager’s shoulder, indicating that there was no need for her to be so vigilant toward everyone.
However, the manager was still worried. She asked her assistant to buy a dress while she stood there.
“I have a spare dress with me. If you don’t mind, you can use it,” Qiao Weiyang said.
The manager couldn’t help but say, “Look at you. Your size is different from Sheng Lan’s. If she can wear other people’s clothes, then there’s no need to get someone to go out and buy a new dress. We can just find a female artiste at the event location and borrow a spare set.”
“That’s true. Weiyang, look at me. I’ll tear your clothes.” Sheng Lan had never thought that her figure was not good. Instead, she was very proud of it. She chatted frankly with a calm expression.
“Our figures are indeed a little different, but I made this dress myself, so there’s a lot of room for modification. I can enlarge it on the spot.”
The manager asked curiously, “You have such an ability?”
Tao Huan hurriedly said, “Our Sister Weiyang is indeed talented in this aspect. You haven’t bought any clothes yet, so why don’t you let her try?”
That made sense. Anyway, the assistant hadn’t bought a suitable dress yet, so Sheng Lan asked Qiao Weiyang to take out the spare dress and go straight to the dressing room upstairs.
Qiao Weiyang was slender and tall. Her own dress was naturally of this style. Sheng Lan looked at it and was afraid that her thighs would not be able to fit.
Qiao Weiyang picked up the scissors and picked out the sewing thread, revealing the spare fabric that was wrapped in when she was sewing. She took Sheng Lan’s measurements and immediately picked up the needle.
According to Sheng Lan’s size, Qiao Weiyang stitched it again.
Soon, a small-sized dress became a larger-sized dress. It was in the style of a cheongsam and had been carefully modified. There were orchids on it, making the dress look very exquisite.
“Senior Sheng, try it.” Qiao Weiyang handed over the clothes.
Sheng Lan often saw people change the size of their clothes to smaller sizes, but it was not very common for them to enlarge clothes. It was indeed rare to watch a small-sized dress become the size she could wear.
She did not hide from Qiao Weiyang and changed into it in front of her.
To her surprise, it fit her perfectly without any excess creases.
She had worked with countless famous designers for so many years, but this was the first time she had seen someone modify the clothes so quickly.
Even though the designers who had worked with her before were skilled, she had to try the clothes on a few times before they fit perfectly.
After changing, she opened the door to let her manager in.
The manager was dumbfounded when she saw the dress in front of her. “Qiao Weiyang, this is a dress specially prepared for Sheng Lan, right?”
“I reserve extra fabric when I design my dresses so that I can change the size and style.” Qiao Weiyang smiled faintly.
“Do you make your own clothes?” Sheng Lan asked, then nodded, acknowledging her aesthetics and ability.
“Mhm.”
“But why bother? You usually only wear this kind of dress once.” Sheng Lan found it troublesome.
Qiao Weiyang nodded gently. “It’s precisely because these dresses are usually only worn once. If you wear them again, the media or anti-fans will often say that they’re outdated and you’re repeating your outfits. But I think it’s a waste, so I reserve extra fabric when making my clothes. I can change it before wearing it in the future to prevent it from being wasted. Of course, it’s not like others are wasting it. Everyone has different ideas and methods. There’s no good or bad.”
Sheng Lan was already at the age where she knew what was good for her. She had experienced dire straits and glory, so she knew the entertainment industry very well.
When she heard Qiao Weiyang’s words, she couldn’t help but smile and say, “I quite agree with your point of view. It’s a good thing to be frugal no matter what. I have to thank you for tonight’s dress.”
“It’s nothing.”
When Sheng Lan walked out, her assistant rushed over and said, “It wasn’t easy for me to buy two sets, but there are many things that need to be modified…”
After all, the clothes bought outside were not custom-made, so such problems were inevitable.
