They had arrived!
Old He accompanied several leaders and staff responsible for this year's Canton Fair to watch the rehearsal.
Everyone fell silent in an instant, afraid to continue their whispered discussions, and looked toward the stage.
Backstage, twenty models had already changed into their outfits and lined up, waiting to go onstage.
Jiang Xia had planned this Fashion Show, and was also serving as its host and commentator.
She was explaining to the models one by one when they should go onstage, and which outfit they should change into after returning backstage.
Zhang Fuyan and another female staff member were assisting her. Both held detailed Runway Processes, notebooks, and pens.
The two listened attentively to the Runway Process, checking Jiang Xia's instructions against their notebooks, filling in the gaps and recording anything that had been missed to ensure nothing went wrong.
Jiang Xia had already explained all this to the models in Capital City—and even again that morning. She had repeated the instructions several times.
After finishing with the models, Jiang Xia instructed the volunteers and staff from the Photography Group to get ready to take pictures.
"Photographs of every outfit's runway appearance must be taken."
"Got it!" the staff answered loudly.
"Develop the photographs immediately after taking them. Select the ones with the best results and develop several copies. Later, we'll make them into picture albums so customers can use them as references when placing orders."
Actually, making them into picture books would have been better, but picture books cost more and required design work. There was not enough time to prepare them.
"Got it." The response rang out like thunder!
"Every photograph must have the style number pasted in a corner. Tops, bottoms, shoes, bags, hats, accessories—don't miss a single thing!"
"Got it!" they answered in unison!
