Chapter 599: The Sicilians
There was a box in the hallway, where the audience could throw their papers when the conference ended .
Qin Guan watched his paper get buried under the others . He wondered if the Gucci staff would read it .
Sister Xue pulled him towards a big board composed by logos of different brands . The board showcased the formidable array of the Fashion Week participants .
There were plenty of cameras pointed at the board, recording the controversial people that passed by .
Qin Guan stood out among the designers . He definitely qualified for an independent interview, but the shy Asian preferred to stay at home after work . He had never said yes to an interview . If it weren't for the Milan Fashion Week, the reporters wouldn't have been able to catch him .
"Qin Guan, say hello to the Italian public!"
The Italian radio and television station was very popular, its fashion news section especially so . It actually had an audience rating of 70% .
Qin Guan waved at the camera with a splendid smile .
"Qin Guan, will you get a new job in the next six months? A little bird told me that Gucci is negotiating with Armani . They both want you to be their ambassador in 2004 . Is that true?"
What little bird? Qin Guan had no idea about this .
"I'm impressed by your knowledgeable sources . Neither I nor my agent have heard about this . As far as I know, Old Giorgio Armani would never abandon a poor Asian boy like me . . . "
Qin Guan spread his hands towards the camera in mock sadness .
The reporter seemed amused . He didn't repeat the question though . Instead, he moved on to the next one . "You have shot films in London, France and New York . Would you cooperate with an Italian director too?"
The sudden change of topic confused Qin Guan, but he still smiled wide . Even the Italians were obsessed with his smile .
"If it was a good script and a responsible director, I'd look forward to it!"
The reporter was so close to Qin Guan that his smile shocked him . The rest of the reporters rushed over .
Do you see him, my Italian brothers and sisters? Come and look at the fairy! Quick!
The interview was postponed again and again . In that country, a scheduled timetable didn't mean much after all . Qin Guan returned to his hotel late in the evening .
All the TV stations in Italy were focused on the fashion celebration . They all reported news about the festival, so more and more Italians got to know the beautiful Asian model .
As a country full of beautiful people, Italy was famous for its high standards . Qin Guan still impressed everyone though . Young people began to search for news about him online . He had managed to enter their secret world .
The island of Sicily was located at the southern point of the country, separate from the European continent . People there spoke Italian with a heavy accent . The natives were very tightly united and had their own social network .
The kinship among families connected all the residents on the island like a spider web . Their strict hierarchical relationship was very much like the old Chinese villages that shared a common family name .
Sicily was also the origin of the Italian Mafia .
Italians were cowards when it came to international battles, so their honor lay in their families instead of their country .
Only in China and Italy could one find such united mafia families .
The Salvador family, which was the largest family in Sicily, was having a big party in its manor . This was a good chance for friends and relatives to exchange information .
The TV was on, but only the girls had some spare time to enjoy an ice-cream and watch a TV program .
Their parents were drinking beer behind them, complaining about the difficulties of the business . Suddenly, a kid's voice was heard .
"Laura likes that boy!"
It was a girl with curly brown hair, who was looking at Qin Guan's smiling face on the TV . Michael, who was the most handsome boy in the room, felt jealous . He tried to attract Laura's attention .
"But he is Chinese . . . I know that country! It's filled with labor workers!"
The adults stopped talking . They held their laughter back as they listened carefully to the two kids .
