Chapter 3: The Third Day of Acquaintance. Puchi~…

Puchi~

The stylist, who had come to help with dressing and makeup removal, was packing up when she heard Wu Yunxi's words and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The two of them were quite familiar with each other. Wu Yunxi had worked together on several shoots, though back then, one person handled styling and the other took photos. This time, one person was responsible for styling and the other for beauty. There was still a significant difference.

Unfazed by the stylist's laughter, she smiled and spun around in the mirror again, feeling satisfied with herself. Then, after helping to pack up, she escorted her out to her room. After informing her that she had two days of free time, she excitedly left the house.

Although before returning to the hotel, her entire thought was to rest in bed, after leaving that environment, and especially after changing clothes at the hotel, Wu Yunxi had no desire to sleep at all. Instead, she wanted to go out for a walk.

After all, work is work. Working is like a lifeless slave, but now that she has her own free time, it's definitely different.

Although Wu Yunxi had rushed out with great enthusiasm, she soon lost interest in shopping when she received a message from her mother asking her to pick up some things to bring home. That's the benefit of working abroad: you can be a shopping agent. However, during Fashion Week, there were a lot more people on the streets than usual. Besides the attendees, there were also fans and media hoping to catch a glimpse of their idols.

Shopping with so many people on the street can be a bit unsettling. This discomfort comes from constantly running into people you know, people you don't know well but know, or people you just chatted with yesterday. She had no choice but to quickly finish her shopping and head back to the hotel.

Luckily, she'd already been here a few days before; otherwise, going shopping after work wouldn't have been so relaxing. Not to mention, after Fashion Week, Wu Yunxi had a magazine shoot to do, and after that, she had to return home immediately, with a lot of work to do back home. That left little time for shopping and sightseeing.

Since she had no events to attend on the second and third days, Wu Yunxi simply rested up in the hotel. It was the best rest she'd had in a few days. She even ate her meals there, never leaving the hotel. A

rare staycation amidst her recent busy schedule, Wu Yunxi practically stayed in bed. Whenever her phone ran out of battery, she'd charge it and continue playing. She'd thoroughly explored every app on her phone, from social media to video and music. Even when her stylist came to confirm her look for the fourth day's event, she was still in her pajamas. She looked

nothing like the bright princess she had been on the first day.

It was likely Wu Yunxi didn't know what the stylist was thinking, otherwise she would have spoken to her calmly.

"Ouni, good evening~"

The stylist smiled calmly at Wu Yunxi, dressed in her pajamas with her hair disheveled.

"Good evening, let's finalize tomorrow's look tonight."

"Okay, no problem. I'll change first."

This was something they'd agreed to via text message. Wu Yunxi showed no signs of surprise, calmly saying she'd change first before getting back to her styling.

For Chanel Fashion Week, Wu Yunxi wore a custom-made ensemble from a tailor shop in China. The shirt and high-waisted skirt created a simple yet stylish look. This outfit, while partly expressing Wu Yunxi's own fashion philosophy, featured a specially hand-embroidered butterfly pattern on the shirt, which her makeup also complemented.

After Wu Yunxi finished changing and sat at her dressing table, her stylist brought out some accessories she had prepared specifically for the look. The earrings and necklace were from a niche brand Wu Yunxi had purchased herself. While not well-known

, perfectly complemented the look.

After over an hour of makeup and styling, Wu Yunxi and her stylist confirmed the look was truly beautiful. It was Spring Fashion Week, so the look was perfectly suited to the season, and seeing such a look during the spring and summer season truly evoked a sense of immersion.

"Ouni, let's finalize the look. I've already mentioned it once, but seeing it the second time, I still think it's beautiful! Ouni's skills are amazing. I wonder if I can get a styling appointment with you next time,"

Wu Yunxi said, amusement in her expression, making the stylist, who was admiring her work, laugh.

"After all, our Yunxi is such a beautiful girl, that's a double bonus for this look!"

The two chatted and laughed as they took off their jewelry and accessories. Wu Yunxi changed her clothes and ironed them flat. After the stylist returned to her room, she went to the bathroom again to wash off her makeup and apply a facial mask to prepare her skin for tomorrow.

With this in mind, Wu Yunxi washed off the mask and applied her skincare routine before falling asleep without a care in the world.

She slept soundly that night, waking over half an hour before her alarm. It was a good time to have breakfast at the restaurant downstairs before returning to her room and starting her styling.

Today's event began a little after ten in the morning. There would be some red carpet activity at the beginning, but Wu Yunxi wasn't planning on attending it. She planned to arrive before then, wait for the brand launch, watch a runway show, and then conduct some business negotiations, wrapping up the day's workday.

While it was clearly a fashion week that many people wanted to attend, for Wu Yunxi it felt like a traditional office. She wanted to work as comfortably as possible, even considering leaving early.

Leaving early wasn't an option, as her contact had already agreed to meet her for dinner after the launch. If she left early, where would she find him?

Although Wu Yunxi didn't walk the red carpet, she noticed the bustle at the entrance moments after entering and sitting down. Turning to look, she saw G-Yong enter, dressed in a suit.

Wu Yunxi wasn't surprised to see this scene. Although G-Yong hadn't immediately resumed work after his military discharge, and even the group hadn't had any recent music releases, his influence in the industry remained. It was like seeing him regularly appear online, whether it was about a relationship or something else, even though he wasn't working.

Perhaps it was Wu Yunxi's quiet presence that caught Quan Ji-yong's attention, or perhaps it was because the two were seated not far apart. After shaking off the media and others behind him, Quan Ji-yong walked towards Wu Yunxi's seat.

This action naturally caught the attention of others, but since they didn't know much about Wu Yunxi, they didn't approach, simply keeping their eyes on the area. Of course, some artists also approached, hoping to connect with Quan Ji-yong.

Despite some annoyance at facing these situations, Quan Ji-yong calmly exchanged a few words with them before taking a seat. Seeing Quan Ji-yong's attitude, the approaching artists understood his intentions. In this industry, one needs not only thick skin but also good judgment. When someone doesn't want to continue communicating, they can certainly choose to stay, but it's generally better to cooperate and leave.

Seeing the visitor leave, Quan Ji-yong's expression relaxed a little and he waved to Wu Yunxi, who was sitting behind him.

This surprised Wu Yunxi. Although they had run into each other twice in one day, they didn't even have contact information, and they'd exchanged only a few words, not even exchanging names. How could he have taken the initiative to greet her? Furthermore, while they weren't exactly in the same circle, their professional connections meant Wu Yunxi should have been the one to initiate the greeting.

"We didn't even get to exchange names last time. Can you tell me this time?"

After regretting not having taken the initiative and letting a senior initiate the conversation, Wu Yunxi was stunned by what he said.

"Yes, my name is Wu Yunxi. When my grandma named me, she said that the day I was born, I could see beautiful clouds from the hospital window, just like the stream outside my hometown."

Wu Yunxi habitually introduced herself using the same method she'd used in school, but then regretted it. She'd already been working for a while, yet she'd adopted the school-style introduction.

Thinking of her surroundings, she felt a sense of childishness and incongruity. Fortunately, when she looked up at the other person's expression, it didn't change significantly, which made Wu Yunxi breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's indeed a beautiful name. Thank you for your concern that day. Let's get to know each other formally. I'm Kwon Ji-yong."

Kwon Ji-yong was clearly more familiar with such an introduction than Wu Yunxi. Even though he knew he was already known, he still introduced himself formally.

It was a truly endearing gesture. Wu Yunxi smiled easily. Kwon Ji-yong's introduction relieved her initial nervousness and smoothed the awkward conversation.

"I can't say I'm unfamiliar with GDxi's name, not to mention I've been to a BIGBANG concert and love your songs."

When people relax, they tend to be more talkative. Wu Yunxi initiated a conversation. Kwon Ji-yong, though a little surprised by her change of heart, continued the conversation.

When the organizers came over to greet Kwon Ji-yong, they saw this scene and sighed heartily.

"Long time no see, Ji-yong. It seems like you guys had a great chat. I was thinking of introducing you to each other during dinner tonight."

The man came over and gave Quan Ji-yong a brief hug. After letting go, he naturally joined in the conversation between the two and talked about his plans for tonight.

One is a global ambassador with a close relationship with his own brand, and the other is an excellent photographer who has helped the company take photos before. In addition, this time he has arranged for Wu Yunxi to help take photos in a few days, which means that the two of them will work together in the future. That's why he thought of having dinner together tonight and introducing each other so that they can work more smoothly.

"What a coincidence."
