Chapter 1281: Zhang Ye designs the wedding dress!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

It was the weekend.

In the morning.

While the outside world was still digesting the news of Zhang Ye's bid for the S-list, the official Weibo of Zhang Ye's Studio issued some alarming news: Teacher Zhang Ye will temporarily be putting all his work on hold from today in order to prepare for his upcoming wedding. He gives thanks to everyone and the media for their concern. All news and schedules regarding the wedding will be announced at the earliest possible opportunity.

When the post went up on Weibo, it became even more lively on the Internet!

"Wow!"

"The wedding?"

"Zhang Ye is really going to get married soon!"

"It's too soon, I'm still not prepared!"

"Congratulations, Teacher Zhang!"

"So who's the bride?"

"Yeah, can we have a picture of the bride please!"

"How nerve-wracking. The wedding will be held soon and no one even knows who the bride is? Aren't you leaving us with sleepless nights this way? My gossiping heart can't take this anymoreeeee!"

"Yeah, that's true. It's too mysterious!"

"I'm just curious how there isn't any information about it at all!"

"There aren't even any rumors or a hint of who it might be!"

"Where have the paparazzi been? What have the reporters been working on?"

"Hmph, you guys always seem to know every single bit of gossip, like whoever has a mistress, or whoever has an illegitimate child, none of that ever gets unreported! But why are you all fucking up at this critical moment? Why is there just no news at all when it comes to Zhang Ye's affairs? Are you any good at your jobs!"

"That is indeed a little weird!"

"I really wanna see who the bride is!"

The media outlets and paparazzi could only take the fall for this.

The media outlets smiled bitterly, while the paparazzi were helpless.

What has this got anything to do with us? Why are you all scolding us?

We would also like to know! But the problem is that there isn't any information about it at all!

Following that, under the strong urging and pleas from the media outlets, the staff of Zhang Ye's Studio relented and agreed to hold a mini-press conference to answer some of their questions.

At the press conference.

Several dozen media outlets were posing questions non-stop.

A reporter asked, "Who is the bride?"

Zhang Ye's Studio replied, "We're keeping it a secret for now."

"Where will the wedding be held?"

"We're keeping it a secret for now and will inform everyone when the time comes."

"Will it be a Chinese style wedding or a western style one?"

"According to our knowledge, it will primarily be a Chinese style wedding."

"Will reporters be allowed into the venue to take photographs?"

"Yes, we will be coming up with a list of invitations for the relevant media outlets to send one of their reporters to attend the wedding."

It was just a mini-press conference, but it lasted for a full two hours.

The media did not let Ha Qiqi and the others leave as they pushed their microphones forward and questioned them for a long time. When the press conference finally finished, everyone dispersed amid the commotion with some of the reporters rushing back to their offices so that they could quickly report about it. There were also some reporters who had already finished their drafts at the venue and sent it back to their offices for the news to be published immediately.

"Zhang Ye's impending grand wedding!"

"Identity of bride remains mystery!"

"Could it be a celebrity? Or an average person?"

"Heatedly discussed about, Zhang Ye's wedding captures the attention of the public!"

Zhang Ye's wedding was clearly a big deal within the entertainment industry as well. After all, he was no longer the same as before. He wasn't that small-time celebrity that no one cared about. He was now able to hold out against those seven people at the top of show business. Regarding Zhang Ye's big wedding, the whole nation's people had their eyes on this occasion. Everyone knew that this event would again bring about a lot of fame for Zhang Ye. He was now edging closer and closer to one of those seven spots!

…

Later that morning.

Elsewhere.

Zhang Ye received a call and went downstairs.

Wu Zeqing's secretary, Bai Li, had driven to his place. When she saw Zhang Ye, Bai Li hurriedly got out of car. "Teacher Zhang, Chief Wu has been caught up in some work and might only be able to come over later. She had me pick you up first and send you over. Why don't we leave?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Alright."

Bai Li proceeded to open the car door for him.

Zhang Ye quickly said, "I'll get it myself."

Bai Li said politely, "Let me do it."

"Don't be so polite with me, Secretary Bai." Zhang Ye got into the car and said with a chuckle, "We're not strangers anymore."

Bai Li gave a reserved smile. "That won't do. You're Chief Wu's boyfriend, so you're also like my boss."

As they talked, they drove off.

Bai Li was a little distracted as she drove. She could still remember how shocked she was when she heard about this news yesterday. Even now, she still found it quite difficult to believe!

Teacher Zhang?

Chief Wu?

They were going to get married?

Oh my God!

Did they really have to make it this big?!

Bai Li now understood why Chief Wu had been so good towards Zhang Ye in the past. So it was because they were a couple. She had also been catching the news these days. The newspapers were all talking about how a shake-up was coming to the entertainment industry and that Zhang Ye was planning to break into the S-list. However, only Bai Li knew that that was not even something to break a sweat over. What was that? What kind of a stupid shake-up would that be? When Zhang Ye's wedding day arrives, all of you will realize what an earthquake truly is!

At a bridal shop.

She parked the car. Zhang Ye and Bai Li walked inside.

There were a few people in here.

Fat Sis, Wu Zeqing's elder sister.

Wu Mo, Wu Zeqing's nephew.

Xin Ya, Wu Zeqing's best friend.

Zhang Ye smiled and greeted them, "Fat Sis, Mo'er, Professor Xin."

The mathematician, Xin Ya, smiled and said, "What an important man Professor Zhang is. We were all waiting for you."

Fat Sis did not say anything pointless and simply introduced, "Zhang'er, let me introduce you to some people. These two are our country's best fashion designers. This is Julie, a famous bridal gown designer. This is Li Xianghe, a famous Chinese Kwa 1 designer. Aren't you planning to use a bridal gown when welcoming the guests, and then change into a Chinese dress for the wedding ceremony? I've already found you two of the best designers and got them to come down here today. They've brought along some samples, so come and take a look. We have to decide on the choices by today. Otherwise, it'll be too late."

Zhang Ye blinked. "It's that urgent?"

Wu Mo rolled his eyes. "Listen to what you're saying. You and my aunt are both busier than the other. We pushed for the trying on of the bridal gown long ago, but you two just kept not turning up!"

Zhang Ye said, "Hey, how can you speak to your uncle like that?"

Wu Mo burst into tears. "Go away! We're talking on our own terms!"

Zhang Ye shook hands with both the designers and said, "Sorry to trouble the two of you."

Julie smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Li Xianghe smiled. "It's my honor."

Fat Sis glanced around. "Eh? Where's Zeqing?"

Bai Li said, "Chief Wu has something to attend to and can't come over yet."

Fat Sis smacked her lips. "That Zeqing! An important matter like choosing the bridal gown and she's not here? I'll call her!" She had already picked up her phone and started dialing.

"Big Sis?"

"What are you doing?"

"There's something I have to handle at work."

"But we're choosing your bridal gown today!"

"Just let Zhang Ye select it for me."

"He's a man, what would he know about such things? Can you really trust his taste?"

"Of course I trust him. Just let him choose it, I'll wear whatever he selects."

"Whoa, you're really that brave, huh?"

"Hur hur, I have to hang up now."

After hanging up, Fat Sis had no choice but to go ahead with the selection.

The group of them gathered around and started picking the bridal gown.

Julie was a female designer and also a good friend of Fat Sis. She took out five design sketches, one of which was a finished product that was dressed on a mannequin. "Everyone, come and see this. This is the style that I'm recommending as its design is concise and elegant. Look at the design of the veil, this is made from…" She gave a very detailed description of it.

The first bridal gown:

Zhang Ye shook his head.

Fat Sis shook her head.

The second bridal gown:

Xin Ya firmly said no.

Zhang Ye was also not too enthusiastic about it.

The third and the fourth pieces were also turned down by Zhang Ye.

Fat Sis said, "I think the fourth design is quite nice looking."

Xin Ya also said, "The fourth piece is good."

Wu Mo said, "I prefer the third one."

But Zhang Ye firmly said, "All of them won't do. They don't suit Old Wu."

It was either too simple.

Or too revealing.

Or it involved too many complicated designs.

Zhang Ye did not like any of them.

Julie looked at him. "These styles of dresses are the latest fashion. Teacher Zhang, if you have any requests, you can let me know. I will make the modifications according to your suggestions."

Xin Ya laughed and said, "How would he know anything about that?"

Zhang Ye said in amusement, "As someone who works with math, do you think you know any better then?"

Xin Ya said, "Whoa, you speak as if you don't work with math yourself?"

Wu Mo laughed and said, "Did you two fight over something? Why do you always bicker?"

Xin Ya harrumphed. "At the entrance of Tsinghua, he robbed us of our students and smashed our cars."

Realization dawned on Wu Mo. "That's right, Sister Xin is from Tsinghua University, who hate Peking University!"

"They were at fault at that time," Zhang Ye rebutted.

Julie recommended a few changes and came up with some more proposals.

Xin Ya, Fat Sis, and the others were all giving suggestions. The final proposed style was somewhat alright to Zhang Ye, but he only found it to be not too bad and did not think that it was anything special. After dragging on for a long time, there was still no conclusion. After that, Designer Li Xianghe took out his designs for the Chinese Kwa. After half an hour of discussions, Xin Ya, Fat Sis, and the others found some of the designs to be really nice, but Zhang Ye was also not happy with them. He was someone who wasn't really picky when it came to things that he ate or used for himself. He would usually be fine with anything and could accept the shortcomings of whatever was given to him. But for Old Wu, he wasn't going to be shoddy about it at all. He would not give the nod if there was even a minor detail that he was unsatisfied with. His standards were raised higher when in the pursuit of perfection.

The two designers, Julie and Li Xianghe, gave each other a helpless glance.

Wu Mo was sweating by now. "Brother Zhang, are you going to decide on anything at all?"

Fat Sis said, "Are they all really not to your satisfaction?"

Xin Ya said, "Why don't we wait for Zeqing to arrive first before deciding."

Zhang Ye said, "I know what she will like."

Fat Sis remarked, "Aren't you also involved in the arts? Why don't you design one yourself?" She found what she said rather funny herself.

But Zhang Ye was taken aback!

Me? Design one?

Right!

I can design something myself!

There are so many designs available from back in my previous world!

Zhou Xun's Chanel?

Yang Ying's Dior?

Liu Shishi's Carven?

How about that design that Princess Diana wore?

And so many other world-famous bridal gown designs!

I won't design one that is exactly the same, but it shouldn't be difficult if I were to use the general design of one and find a way to suit it to Old Wu's style. The ideas he had in mind were not something that either of these designers could match. The designs in Zhang Ye's mind were the essence of all the famous designers' style and wisdom, and they had even had the consensus of the public who had seen it before!

Right!

I'll do it myself!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ye took the chance to go and get a drink. At the same time, he opened the game ring interface and took a Memory Search Capsule, going through the various styles of bridal gowns in his mind!
