Chapter 1560: Chapter 902: Legendary Masters Are Hard to Invite—How to Win a Daughter’s Heart (Part 2)
Inside the studio
In recent years, Tang Wan’s studio has taken on several film and TV projects, earning quite a bit.
Plus, in recent years, ancient fashion has become popular. Nowadays, wearing Hanfu or Tang suits on the street doesn’t seem as unusual as before. The studio has also set up an online store, selling a range of accessories from a few dozen to several thousand or even tens of thousands, and business is getting better.
The studio has moved several times and now has its own two-story building, with the first floor displaying samples and the second being the employee area. There’s a yard in front and a parking lot behind.
Tang Wan had to go to a meeting and instructed Jiang Xiaowai not to run around. The little one agreed readily.
"Tang, the exhibition venue has been finalized, but we’re still discussing the pricing."
Tang Wan nodded.
Chen Zhi was sitting to her left, flipping through the documents in hand, "This is your first time organizing an exhibition, and many people have extended offers for us to collaborate or invest. I’ve shortlisted a few, do you want to take a look?"
"No need, Jiang’s will invest."
Everyone: "..."
Wife organizes exhibition, husband invests, we suspect you’re intentionally being mushy.
Chen Zhi shrugged and opened another document, "On the day of the exhibition, I plan to invite some guests, the first choice is naturally Master Xi, but he hasn’t appeared publicly for a long time. If you want to contact him, you probably need to reach out yourself."
Tang Wan nodded, realizing her teacher has been abroad with the grandchildren in recent years and might be hard to persuade. "I’ll give him a call later and see. Aside from him, who else?"
"Masters in the circle, including Tao Wangjin, Qiao Wangbei, Yang Wangchuan..."
Chen Zhi listed the names, and Tang Wan’s smile gradually faded. The first few are disciples of Master Qiao Yuhai, all industry big shots, either in carving or jewelry, related to her field.
But...
Each one is notoriously difficult!
They’re all proud and aloof, giants hard to invite. How can they be easily persuaded to support her event?
Tang Wan’s headache began to stir, "Uncle Chen, are you serious about these choices?"
They’re all big shots, how could she possibly invite them?
"It’s your first exhibition, and many are watching. The bigger the celebrities you invite, the better."
"I know, but they..." Tang Wan pinched her brow, "You also know they won’t easily lend their support."
"I remember during your engagement in Pingjiang, Qiao Wangbei was there, right?"
"That was out of respect for my teacher. We hardly communicate otherwise, not sure how comfortable it would be." Tang Wan sighed, more importantly...
She is a bit scared of this senior from the Qiao Family.
"What about Yang Wangchuan?" Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow, "I heard the Fourth Lord knows him. He even attended the Fourth Lord’s wedding in Beijing, bringing a generous gift. Maybe you could chat with the Fourth Lord or his wife?"
"Spare me, I think reaching out to my teacher is more convenient."
These big names are indeed prominent in the industry, notoriously difficult. Even if invited, they require careful treatment. Tang Wan really doesn’t dare provoke these great people.
Chen Zhi sighed, "You should at least give it a try, I think if you gift something to your Fourth Sister-in-law, there’s a high chance of success in inviting Mr. Yang."
Tang Wan widened her eyes:
Over the years, Si Qingxiao has taken quite a few things from her.
Custom-made, and gifted as well, Tang Wan feels she’s been emptied by her.
Though marriage brings friction, when Jiang Chengsi and Si Qingxiao quarrel, Jiang Chengsi comes to Tang Wan seeking her assistance, which puzzles her.
"Fourth Brother, why come to me when arguing with Sister-in-law?"
If seeking someone to talk to, he should find Jiang Jinsang instead.
"Do you want me to mediate and reconcile with Sister-in-law for you?"
Jiang Chengsi coughed, "No, I want to buy something to apologize to her, thought I’d check your place as she likes what’s made by you."
Tang Wan: "..."
"Sister-in-law, my happiness with your Brother-in-law is in your hands."
This burden, Tang Wan couldn’t bear.
Tang Wan has unwillingly sent plenty to this couple and would rather avoid dealing with Si Qingxiao, worried they might not succeed in inviting Mr. Yang.
Inviting Mr. Yang through Jiang Chengsi and Si Qingxiao would definitely indebting favors. Despite being family, Tang Wan doesn’t want to trouble them.
Better reach out to her teacher.
Seeing the invitation was unlikely, Chen Zhi sighed, "By the way, a production team contacted us yesterday, wanting to collaborate. Their project is just filed, currently casting, planning to start year-end, and won’t conflict with our exhibition schedule, I haven’t rejected them yet."
