"Well, I'm glad I could help this time."
Nie Tao liked talking to smart people, so he patted him on the arm and smiled meaningfully with a look that only the two of them could understand.
"The master has achieved his current success in the fashion industry through his own hard work. We will have many opportunities to work together in the future."
Just then Lagerfeld's car arrived.
Nie Tao let go of his hand at the right time, kept a safe distance, and said to Lagerfeld with a smile: "I won't waste the master's time. We will meet again another day."
"OK."
Lagerfeld said goodbye to Nie Tao politely and got into his car.
The driver closed the door for him and drove around to the front.
His assistant was also in the car.
As the car slowly drove away from the western restaurant, the assistant held up the iPad and said to him carefully, "Master, the news from various media outlets has already come out."
Lagerfeld leaned back in his chair, opened the small cabinet, took out a bottle of rare wine from it, unscrewed the cork, took out a glass from the other side, and slowly poured himself a glass of wine.
Only then did he take the time to ask his assistant: "How's the heat?"
"At first it only attracted attention within the industry, but later everyone discovered that the female star LLi was also involved, so everyone paid a lot of attention to it."
"Humph!" Lagerfeld's square face was cold and his eyes were drooping with contempt: "What do these people know about art!"
The assistant understood how conceited the master he served was and how much he looked down on celebrities, models and the like.
So when Lagerfeld was speaking, he just lowered his head and didn't refute.
“But art also requires you to stand at a high enough level to be called art.”
Lagerfeld drank a lot of wine at lunch and some vodka in the car. He gradually relaxed and spoke without restraint.
Some unscrupulously reveal their true colors.
"I didn't understand this when I was young, and I almost ruined my career. Fortunately, I understood it early and cut my losses in time. Look how good it is now." "Master is right."
The assistant whispered in agreement.
Lagerfeld narrowed his eyes again and glanced at him with contempt, as if to say: What do you know.
But in fact, the assistant probably knew a little bit. Lagerfeld was not famous in his early years. He was just an unknown little designer under Nie’s Jewelry.
He had been working as an assistant to a very famous female designer until that female designer had a conflict with the then-head of Nie Group.
He expressed his intention to leave the Nie family.
Not long after, the female designer was involved in a plagiarism scandal, fell from the altar, and never returned to the design circle again.
At this time, the unknown Lagerfeld became Nie's new designer and cooperated with Nie for ten years, which was once a legend in the industry.
Until the end of the cooperation period, Lagerfeld began to take a high-end approach, his status in the industry became higher and higher, and he became more and more respected.
The two parties changed from an employment relationship to a cooperative relationship.
And they have always been very good friends.
So no one found it strange that Lagerfeld suddenly came out and said that he would anonymously represent Nie in this APE competition.
The assistant probably heard about what happened back then, and also heard that Lagerfeld had a big accident and almost ruined his reputation.
Of course, this incident also coincides with the time when the female designer was exposed for plagiarism.
Even though the assistant felt that there was an unspeakable relationship between the two, he never dared to be curious. Even when the master himself brought it up after getting drunk, he could only lower his head and play dumb, for fear of getting himself into trouble.
The car drove slowly towards Lagerfeld's studio.
