Chapman, the head of Steinay in China, took the stage to address the invited guests. In addition to the heads of major brands in China that have cooperative relationships with Steinay, Steinay also invited well-known foreign orchestras and a Danish pianist.
Chapman introduced the piano at the banquet venue tonight, which was specially flown in from Germany to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Steinay's piano entering China. Chapman had a smile on his face:
"Since its establishment, Steinay has been committed to art. Steinay's pianos have always adhered to a purpose. Whether the person sitting in front of the piano is a musician or a farmer, as long as they sit in front of a Steinay piano, they have been combined with elegant art..."
As Chapman spoke, he gestured, and on the huge screen behind him, pictures of different people playing the Steinay piano began to overlap.
There were artists, adults, and children inside. The guests below watched this scene quietly. Thirteen seconds later, a photo slowly popped up from the corner of the screen. Jiang Se was about to turn around and talk to Xia Chaoqun, but Pei Yi came behind Jiang Se and whispered:
“This is your picture.”
The photo that popped up at this second was a photo of Jiang Se when she was filming Zhao Rang's "The Ninety-ninth Love Letter", but it was not a still. The photo was taken from the side, capturing her profile while playing the piano, and her slender and beautiful hands placed on the piano, which was particularly eye-catching.
This should be a photo of her being secretly taken while she was practicing. At the Steinay 30th Anniversary Party, the Steinay Music Store used this photo of her as one of the promotional photos.
The photo of Jiang Se was slowly enlarged. She closed her eyes and looked extremely focused. On the big screen, her face was as delicate as a baby's and her long eyelashes were like fluttering butterflies. When she played the piano, the corners of her mouth raised in a small arc, as if she had immersed her mind wholeheartedly in the piano.
At this point, Jiang Se finally understood why Steinay's people sent her an invitation. Steinay used her photo to promote this dinner, so he sent her an invitation to invite her to attend such an event in return for using her photo. Such cooperation is beneficial to both parties.
Of course, this event will be of great benefit to Jiang Se's status, style and personal image.
She nodded and responded to Pei Yi. A lady next to her in a royal blue dress subconsciously turned her head to look at Jiang Se when she heard Pei Yi's words. After discovering that she was indeed the girl in the photo that Steinay released, the lady's gaze slid from Jiang Se's face to her arm, and finally stopped at her wrist.
Jiang Se noticed the lady's gaze, turned his head to look at her, and immediately connected this lady with the person in charge of the Chinese region of Swiss watchmaker Federer, whom he had memorized in his mind.
The Federer watch brand was founded in Switzerland more than 170 years ago. Since its establishment, it has been famous all over the world for its perfect appearance and function.
Federer's watches are known as the aristocrats among watches. They are luxurious and exquisite. Each watch is priced at hundreds of thousands or even millions, and has a huge customer base all over the world.
An early work by Federer's founder, Mr. Federer, was sold at an auction for 20 million, causing a global sensation.
So their family is not easy to deal with, and they don't bother to interact with ordinary celebrities.
It is not easy for many celebrities to borrow their watches when they attend events. Federer has his own fixed customer base and takes the high-end and classy route.
Before this, such a brand would not favor ordinary celebrities, and it was too difficult for Jiang Se to find an opportunity to talk to this lady.
There are not many events that Federer's principal is willing to attend. The reason why she can meet at the 30th anniversary banquet held by Steinay tonight is not only because Steinay piano itself is a combination of art and elegance, and its nature is different from general commercial activities, but also because Steinay and Federer have recently had the intention of cooperation.
Two unrelated top brands intend to cooperate to promote a series of watches mainly in black and white piano colors. The project is currently underway.
It is for this reason that Jiang Se can meet the person in charge of the Federer brand here tonight.
There is not much information about this Chinese Federer lady. The information Xia Chaoqun gave to Jiang Se was more about the heritage and allusions of the Federer brand itself.
From the little information we have, we only know that this Federer head also comes from Federer’s Swiss headquarters and is already 46 years old.
She has a low-key personality and rarely attends banquets. The only photo in her profile is a picture of her wearing a dark blue dress, with deep eye sockets and a cold expression. Her aura can be felt through the photo. She looks like a lady who is not easy to deal with.
But when we met in person, it was much more vivid than in the photo.
The lady's last name is Federer. Judging from her last name, she should be a head office employee of the family-inherited enterprise Federer. She has a narrow face and a pair of gray-blue eyes like gemstones. Because of her deep eye sockets, her gaze appears sharp when she looks at people.
She had long dark blond hair tied up behind her head, revealing her face and slender neck. She was obviously old, but this did not detract from her elegant temperament. On the contrary, her age made her look even more feminine.
After noticing Jiang Se's gaze, she just nodded slightly and took the initiative to speak:
"You have very beautiful wrists."
"Thank you, it's a great honor tonight." Jiang Se smiled and raised the hand that she praised. There was originally a platinum chain on that hand, but she took it off and replaced it with a Steinay invitation ribbon. Apart from that, there was no other decoration.
Ms. Federer's gaze followed her movements, moving from Jiang Se's face to her hands. Perhaps because of her job, she paid special attention to Jiang Se's wrists.
The dress Jiang Se wore exposed her arms, and her delicate skin like porcelain was the perfect embellishment of Jiang Se. Her arms were slender, and the curve between her wrists and palms was beautiful, especially her slender fingers, which deepened the visual feeling and made people feel pleasing to the eye at first sight.
Ms. Federer noticed that she did not wear any nail polish and did not wear any rings on her fingers. Her fingers looked clean and tidy, which made her look even more exquisite.
The simple ribbon tied on her hand has the texture of an ornament because of her own temperament.
She stretched out her hand, wanting to shake hands with Federer, smiling frankly, and not feeling embarrassed because Ms. Federer had not stretched out her hand for a long time. This attitude obviously won the approval of Ms. Federer. She smiled slightly and stretched out her hand to touch Jiang Se's.
After this shake, she did not withdraw her hand immediately, but held it for nearly three seconds before slowly letting go. (To be continued)
