Chapter 371 My daughter, Li Ze's daughter, is the best wherever she goes.
The New York International Fashion Show has officially begun.
All the lights in the venue dimmed. Only the central runway was illuminated with very bright white lights.
The music was very loud. The seats below were filled with fashion editors and journalists from all over the world, as well as many very wealthy celebrities and business owners.
Everyone was looking at the stage.
One after another, foreign models walked out from backstage. They were all very tall with very long legs. They wore all sorts of strange, but very expensive, clothes.
The models walked with great power. Reporters below kept snapping photos. Everyone was quietly discussing the designs of the clothes.
After a while, the music suddenly changed. It became a very rhythmic and intense sound.
The host announced loudly, "Next, let's welcome our special guest for today: international supermodel Anna!"
Upon hearing Anna's name, everyone below became excited. They all clapped their hands vigorously.
Anna walked out from backstage. She's an American. She's currently the most famous and highest-paid supermodel in the world.
Anna wore an extremely extravagant red dress. Her gait was very professional, each step precise. Her face was expressionless, giving her a haughty air.
She walked to the very front of the stage. She struck a very beautiful pose.
The reporters below were snapping photos frantically. Everyone was shouting her name.
"Anna is so professional! She's the queen of the stage!"
"Yes! Anna was definitely the most dazzling person at today's fashion show."
"That girl from China, although she became famous in Times Square yesterday, she's still just a newcomer. How could she possibly compare to a supermodel like Anna?"
"I've heard about it too. That girl from China is able to walk the runway and even appear in Times Square. It's all because her father is the world's richest man. She's just been promoted by her family's money. She'll definitely make a fool of herself in front of real professional models."
The journalists and fashion editors were discussing this very openly. They felt that while money could buy fame, it couldn't buy professional skills on stage.
In the background.
After Anna finished walking the runway, she returned to the dressing room. She sat down in a chair and took a sip of water.
Her assistant was talking to her about the discussion among the people outside.
Anna scoffed. She said with great pride, "Of course. I've undergone rigorous training. I've walked the runway ten thousand times. That girl from China, she's just a lucky rich kid. Does she think modeling is just about wearing pretty clothes and walking around casually? When she steps on stage, everyone will see the difference between professional and amateur."
In another separate dressing room.
Li Mengli sat there. She was completely ready.
She heard the noise outside. She also heard the name of the supermodel Anna.
Pierre stood beside her and encouraged her loudly in English, "Miss Li, don't be nervous. Although Anna is very famous, she doesn't have that clean and refined air about her. Just follow our previous practice, and you'll definitely succeed."
Lu Wenzhou also stood up. He looked at Li Mengli and said in a very calm voice, "Mengli, remember, you're not going there to compete with them in terms of professional skills. You're going there to showcase yourself. Take a deep breath, don't be afraid."
Li Mengli nodded. She stood up.
She glanced at herself in the mirror. She took a deep breath. Her gaze became incredibly determined.
At that moment, the music outside suddenly stopped.
Then, a very soothing and gentle Chinese-style music began to play.
A staff member shouted loudly, "Ms. Li Mengli, please prepare to go on stage!"
Li Mengli strode out of the dressing room. She stood at the entrance leading to the stage.
Everyone below the stage fell silent. They all looked up, eagerly anticipating the entrance.
They all wanted to see what kind of girl this was, the one who had been promoted by the world's richest man with so much money.
A very bright beam of light shone on the entrance.
Li Mengli came out.
The moment she stepped into the light.
Everyone in the entire venue gasped simultaneously.
"hiss--"
Everyone was stunned.
Li Mengli's makeup was extremely clean. Her hair was styled very naturally by Pierre. The white dress she wore accentuated her figure perfectly. The small stones on the dress sparkled under the lights.
She didn't wear heavy makeup like those foreign models, nor did she have exaggerated expressions.
She had a very natural and sweet smile on her face. Her eyes were very clear, like mountain spring water.
She looked like an oriental fairy who had stepped out of a fairy tale.
What shocked everyone even more was the way she walked.
The posture coach Lu Wenzhou found for her was extremely skilled. Li Mengli herself was also very intelligent, and she learned very quickly.
She walked on the catwalk. Her back was perfectly straight. Every step she took was steady and light. There wasn't a single unnecessary movement.
She didn't deliberately imitate the professional catwalks of foreign models. She just walked very naturally. But this naturalness made her look very comfortable and beautiful.
She has the natural flair of a model.
The reporters and fashion editors below forgot to press the shutter button.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Li Mengli on the stage.
"My God! This is so beautiful!"
"This makeup, this hairstyle. Absolutely flawless!"
"Her walk is so beautiful. That innate elegance and purity is something supermodels like Anna can never learn!"
"Who said she was made through money? She was born for this stage!"
The people below were discussing it excitedly and loudly.
This fashion show was broadcast live worldwide.
at this time.
On the global internet, everyone watching the live stream was in an uproar.
Whether in America, Europe, or Asia, everyone saw Li Mengli's performance on screen.
Everyone is posting comments online like crazy.
"This girl from China is absolutely stunning!"
"I've never seen such an elegant girl. She looks absolutely stunning in that white dress."
"Her smile can heal everything! I'm captivated by her!"
In the Dragon Kingdom.
It's evening at Han City University right now.
Many students at the school watched the fashion show live in their dormitories.
When Li Mengli appeared.
The entire boys' and girls' dormitory buildings erupted in huge cheers.
"Li Mengli! She's Li Mengli from our school!"
"She's truly amazing! She's brought honor to our nation on the international stage!"
Li Menghan and Huo Qian also sat in front of their computers watching the live stream.
Li Menghan looked at his sister on the screen. His eyes were filled with pride. He exclaimed, "My sister looks absolutely stunning today! She did it!"
Huo Qian nodded happily. She said, "Meng Li's outfit suits her perfectly. She's definitely the most dazzling person there today."
Inside the large house in Beichen Garden.
Li Ze and Zhang Ruoran were also sitting on the sofa in the living room. They were looking at the very large screen on the television.
Zhang Ruoran saw her daughter walking on such a big stage, walking so well, so beautifully.
Tears streamed down her face. She exclaimed excitedly, "Mengli has grown up. She really did it. She's amazing!"
Li Ze reached out and hugged Zhang Ruoran.
He held the string of beads in his hand, his face beaming with pride.
He said loudly, "Of course. My daughter, Li Ze's daughter, is the best wherever she goes. No one can compare to her."
On the stage in New York.
Li Mengli walked to the front. She stopped, smiled generously at the cameras below, and then turned around and walked steadily backstage.
Although her time on the runway was only a short minute.
But this one minute caused a huge reaction around the world.
Within China, a "Mengli craze" swept across the internet.
Everyone is talking about Li Mengli's name like crazy.
Many netizens even started searching online for photos of clothes Li Mengli wore in the past.
Because Li Mengli's family used to be very poor. She wore mostly very ordinary, old clothes.
However, netizens didn't care about any of that. They thought Li Mengli looked good in anything.
"Look everyone, Li Mengli used to wear this simple white short-sleeved shirt, and she looked so elegant!"
"Yes! I think simple clothes like this look the best. I want to buy one just like it."
"Those old jeans make her legs look so long! I want to buy them too!"
Suddenly, all those very ordinary clothes online were unearthed. Many girls started imitating Li Mengli's previous style.
Those online stores that sold these ordinary clothes suddenly saw their business become extremely good. The clothes sold out very quickly.
