Chapter 1282: In the headlines again!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

At the bridal shop.

It was already noon.

This was a private location belonging to Fat Sis. Her company was in the business of making games, while the wedding studio was just run on the side. At this moment, only the few of them were in the shop as Fat Sis had already sent away all unrelated personnel in advance. For any details related to Zhang Ye's big wedding and the choosing of the dress, they of course could not let any outsiders find out.

Zhang Ye was still "drinking" water by himself.

Fat Sis said to Julie, "For my sister's big wedding, you better not hold back any of your gown designs, alright?"

Julie smiled and said, "My dear sis, how long have we known each other? Even if I were to keep any of my designs hidden, I wouldn't do it to you. I've already brought out all the designs I have from inside the wardrobe, so how could I still have anything to hide from you? Teacher Zhang is also involved in the arts, so his requirements are naturally of a higher standard. Everyone's aesthetic values are different; that's where the difficulty lies in designing a bridal gown. If he's still not satisfied with what I have here today, I can go back and have a discussion with my team to quickly come up with a few more new designs. But there wouldn't be enough time and we might not be able to get it out in time for the wedding."

Fat Sis asked, "Are you sure you really don't have any other designs?"

Julie said, "I really don't."

"But you're the best bridal gown designer in the industry."

Julie said, "That's why everything I brought today are my own designs. Every piece is unique and there aren't any mass produced gowns among them."

Suddenly, Zhang Ye came over.

Fat Sis said, "Why don't we go with this piece? It's actually really nice."

But Zhang Ye surprisingly said, "Let me design something for Old Wu myself!"

Wu Mo was stunned. "Huh?"

Xin Ya stared wide-eyed. "Whoa, you're actually going to do it?"

Zhang Ye nodded and said, "Yeah."

"You want to design it yourself?" Fat Sis said in surprise, "This may carry a very great significance, but as a guy and a layman, what could you possibly know about designing a bridal gown?"

Zhang Ye said, "I'll give it a try."

Julie also smiled but said nothing of it.

Zhang Ye said, "Do you have any designing tools?"

Julie said, "All of them."

Zhang Ye looked at her. "I don't actually know how to use these professional tools. Why don't I describe it while you draw it? I'll let you know how I want it to be and what kind of floral patterns to use. You can draw it wherever I point. The overall style and look of the wedding dress, down to the stitching, is in my head. You can just help me bring out what I have in mind to life."

You're really going to do this?

Isn't this ridiculous!

Julie forced a smile and cast a glance at Fat Sis.

Fat Sis threw her hands up in resignation.

Julie could only say, "Alright."

She brought out her tools like a ruler and the such, then got seated.

Zhang Ye stood behind her and started dictating.

"I want the veil to be this way.

"No, it should be a little longer.

"Yes, the mesh size should be slightly larger.

"Shorten this side by a millimeter.

"A little longer…longer.

"Give it a double layer and stack them together."

At first, Julie wasn't really bothered by it, and neither were the others.

Occasionally, she would object to some of his suggestions. "If you do it this way over here, it would look too simple. There won't be a sense of layering this way."

But with every objection that she raised, Zhang Ye would always say, "Just trust me."

And when the general outline of the bridal gown was drawn?

Julie was greatly astonished!

Wu Mo's eyes grew bigger and bigger!

The bridal shop's door was pushed open. Wu Zeqing had finished work had driven herself over. But she realized that no one had noticed her even after she came into the shop. All of them had their heads lowered as they stared at the drawing board in amazement.

Wu Zeqing chuckled. "What's going on here?"

Xin Ya looked up. "Oh, you're finally here?"

"Something came up and I got delayed." Wu Zeqing walked over. "What is this?"

Fat Sis pulled her over in excitement. "Hurry up and see this. Your husband is personally designing a bridal gown for you. It's almost complete!"

Zhang Ye was completely unaware of his surroundings. He didn't realize that Wu Zeqing had arrived. All of his focus was on this bridal gown's design sketch. At times, he would point to suggest what he wanted to be put in. When he couldn't properly relay what was needed, he even nudged Julie aside to draw the idea in his mind so that she would understand what he meant.

Half an hour later.

The sketch of the bridal gown's design was complete!

When they held up Zhang Ye's sketch, everyone turned to look!

Julie was stunned!

Wu Mo was stunned!

Xin Ya was stunned!

Fat Sis was stunned!

Wu Mo exclaimed, "Damn, that's too beautiful!"

Fat Sis said excitedly, "It's really, really nice! It's so befitting of Zeqing's demeanor!"

Julie looked at Zhang Ye in shock. "How did you do it?"

Beside her, the Chinese Kwa designer was also quite taken aback.

Zhang Ye said quite happily, "So is this alright?"

Xin Ya said in astonishment, "This is more than alright!"

Wu Mo asked, "Are you a professional, Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Ye started. "Whoa, Old Wu, when did you arrive?"

"Me?" Wu Zeqing smiled at him. "I got here long ago."

Zhang Ye hurriedly said, "Have a look at this and see if it's fine? Do you like it? If you don't like it, you can have a look at the other designs too. Teacher Julie brought several designs…"

Wu Zeqing looked at the sketch of the bridal gown's design and said with a smile, "There's no need to look, I'll wear this."

Everyone crowded around the sketch and cried out in astonishment from time to time. It was just so beautiful. Even though the finished product was not out yet, they could already feel the breathtaking beauty and luxury from the drawing itself!

Wu Zeqing asked, "What about the Chinese Kwa?"

Zhang Ye said spiritedly, "I'll design it!"

Fat Sis said, "You even want to do that?"

Zhang Ye said, "But of course!"

This fellow was really getting a kick out of designing the dresses!

Without another word, he started dictating to Li Xianghe as well.

"It will be hand-embroidered here.

"No, not this type of pattern.

"Aiya, that's not it. Here, I'll draw it!"

Another hour passed.

The Chinese Kwa design was also completed!

When everyone saw it, they felt beyond speechless!

Julie was stunned again!

Xin Ya was dumbfounded!

Wu Mo grabbed Zhang Ye by the arm. "Brother Zhang! Lord Zhang! Is there anything that you don't know how to do! You're too impressive!"

Zhang Ye smiled and asked, "Does it look good?"

Wu Mo said, "It's so good that I've been blinded!"

Fat Sis was also overjoyed. "It looks better than good! The key is that it fits Zeqing's demeanor so well. It's simply tailor-made for her!"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Well, it's literally tailor-made for Old Wu."

Xin Ya looked at her best friend. "I'm starting to get jealous of you, Old Wu. To be able to wear a bridal gown and Chinese Kwa that was designed by one's own husband, how romantic!"

Zhang Ye said, "Do you like it?"

Wu Zeqing smiled. "I like it very much."

Zhang Ye was getting the hang of it and said, "Alright then, I'll design another one if you like!"

Another one?

Wu Mo nearly tripped and fainted. "Do you think that this is a crosstalk encore! That you can keep cracking jokes if the reception was good?"

Everyone laughed.

…

On the same night.

The news leaked.

Some well-connected media outlets managed to seek out Julie, and it wasn't just one or two of them. Over twenty media outlets' and television stations' personnel had come to look for her.

A group of reporters interviewed her.

"Teacher Julie!"

"What style of a bridal gown did you design for Zhang Ye's wife?"

"Did you get to see the bride? Who is it?"

"Teacher Julie, how much does the bridal gown cost?"

"When will the finished product be out? Will you make it in time for the wedding?"

The amount of questions was overwhelming!

This wasn't Julie's first time designing a bridal gown for a celebrity. She had dealt with such situations a myriad of times and knew exactly how to handle the questions. "I can only answer a portion of your questions. Teacher Zhang's wife's bridal gown is actually not my design at all. It was personally designed by Teacher Zhang for her."

What?

Personally designed?

This is big news!

"Surely not, right?"

"How could Teacher Zhang know fashion design?"

"You probably mean designing in the symbolic sense, right?"

Julie smiled and said, "I don't know what you all mean by 'designing in the symbolic sense.' I only know that after interacting with Teacher Zhang today, I feel especially honored and happy." With a pause, she gave a wry smile and said something astonishing. "If Teacher Zhang was working in the fashion industry, a lot of our designers would probably not be able to make a living anymore!"

The media reporters who were present were all dumbfounded!

What kind of an opinion was that?

Zhang Ye really knew how to design a bridal gown?

So much so that the best female bridal gown designer would claim that she wouldn't be able to make a living from designing anymore?

Didn't this opinion rate Zhang Ye a little too high!

Just what kind of a bridal gown did Zhang Ye design?

…

"Zhang Ye personally designs a bridal gown for his wife!"

—This news trended to the top of the Weibo headlines!

The netizens were startled.

"What?"

"That dude even has this skill?"

"I'm cramping up with laughter, Zhang Ye really can't rest idle!"

"Hasn't he taken leave from work? Why is he in the headlines again?"

"He designed the bridal gown? Who would believe that!"

"I don't really believe it either. Just how ugly would it look?"

"I believe it!"

"I believe it too!"

"He can even fly a plane, so why wouldn't he be able to design a bridal gown?"

"Pfft, true that!"

"Teacher Julie's opinion of Zhang Ye is really high, so I don't think it's a lie."

"That raffish fella, is he planning on moving into the fashion scene this time?"

"Why does that guy seem to know everything!"

"But it really does feel quite romantic!"

"Yeah, that guy actually knows how to be romantic. Expressing my disbelief here."
