It's not just about getting to know each other and falling in love, it's not just about resolving conflicts, it's not just about falling in love, it's a profound reflection on the complexity of reality, the significance of women in our times, and the indescribable things behind every bright and vivid person. I love the kind of male protagonist who goes to the abyss just for the freedom of his ideals. I am obsessed with female protagonists who are career-driven and desire a balance between sexual and career relationships as much as I do. They did it. I am very happy that the female protagonist gradually changed in the end. I love the gentleness and street culture of the male protagonist too much. The uninhibited contrast of breaking. In terms of the author's literary talent, he is very mature. The details of fashion and street culture, as well as the internal details of the international market and foreign companies, are completely realistic and rich. He likes the hazy descriptions of love and sexual relationships. This is a realistic and ideal work.
There is no mistress, no evil mother-in-law... It is definitely not comparable to those silly and sweet novels. It tells the work, life and love story of a group of elites. The plot is not sluggish at all, the characters are described with distinctive personalities, and each character is portrayed in a very lovable way. The author is a quick-thinking author who intuitively writes stories in areas he is familiar with. He is familiar with them and will benefit a lot from reading them. I love this work ❤️ Highly recommend it! I feel sincerely: When it comes to Tomato novels, almost all of them that can be published will not disappoint.
Very beautiful! Very good ending! Although Jiang Lan and Fei Ying's love has gone through a transformation from simple to complex, I have to say that it is still too ideal to have such a relationship. However, I saw the author's discussion of the responsibilities required to enter a complex relationship, which made me very happy and moved. I especially like the boss Chen Qirui. He can accurately point out the reality that Lanlan ignores in the outburst of emotions, and he is very charismatic. I am very happy that the author can really think from the character's perspective and standpoint when writing the book, and not let everyone passively fall into the vortex of the protagonist's thinking and stance just because Lanlan is the heroine. I hope everyone can have the courage to deal with all complexities, including the workplace and relationships.
It's so beautiful. This is the most satisfying novel I've read this year. From the characterization to the ups and downs of the plot to the rise of values, it is all of a very high standard. Originally, I opened Tomato just to read an assembly-line novel, but this one is so different. Through this novel, you can get a glimpse into the daily life of people working in the fashion industry (high-level executives only). The most important thing is the creation of the characters of the male and female protagonists. If I am an illiterate person, I can only say that it is not perfect, but it is perfect. He is not perfect because of his character flaws, but it is precisely because of his imperfections that he becomes a perfect protagonist in my eyes. I like the heroine so much, she is self-disciplined, proud, smart, calm, and self-possessed, but in the relationship it is her excessive calmness that makes the relationship have certain ups and downs. There were cracks in this relationship, but the two parties involved each gave in to change each other. This storyline is really good. They respect and understand each other, always leaving room for each other, and at the same time have extreme trust. This is a very beautiful emotional story. Very nice. The career lines of the male and female protagonists are also handled well, and they seem to be a bit passionate [Blowing a kiss] I really like this book.
It's been a long time since I've read a novel that's both interesting and meaningful. This novel is so full!! The author starts from the fashion industry and writes about the collision between street and luxury goods, the collision between Jiang Lan and Fei Ying, and the collision between Chinese local culture and foreign elite culture. For me, this novel is not only a recreational read, but also a book that triggers thinking and interprets life. The author is really a very powerful and great person. Not only does his description of the fashion industry seem very accurate to me as a layman, but he also reveals some of the stories behind the industry - behind the fashion industry there is more than glamour, but like any industry, there is also fatigue, pain and despair. The author is also very good at writing emotions. The emotions of the male and female protagonists have the sobriety of adults, but also a bit of desperation. The two people look like completely different people. One wears luxury high heels and designer bags all day long, while the other wears sneakers and T-shirts from trendy brands. But it's so adaptable and tense. Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Loved this book!!!
The emotional game between mature men and mature women, the repeated pull between desire and reason, the love story of the male protagonist who was born in Guangdong and made a fortune in the capital, and the female protagonist in Shanghai who are equally matched. There are stories of female growth, very real workplace and emotional dilemmas, and thoughts on how ideals and reality coexist. Objectively speaking, this is a rare and good novel. Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting character, the description of the career line and the emotional line are very realistic. It is not the kind of fake workplace novel that focuses on falling in love and casually pursuing a career. Subjectively speaking, I personally don't like this writing technique that relies on stacking English words to create an elite context. Although there will be translation later, it will affect the reading experience.
I am very glad that I came across this female growth literature when I was 21 years old. It can no longer be called a novel. Many of the contents in it are very thought-provoking. I reflect on myself and society, and broaden my understanding of the workplace and life. It has depth and breadth. There are very few real workplace marriage and love stories. They all fall in love under the guise of the workplace. Will many people, including me, change after reading this article? Not necessarily, but it is good to make a little progress. This time I read it a little bit. Many classic quotations are not marked. I will read them a second and third time later... The author also wrote "Zero Promise" on the official account. Remember to read it. I like Jiang Lan's rationality, calmness, and tolerance. I like Fei Ying's boldness, strength, and gentleness. I like Chen Qirui's thoughtfulness, indifference, and equality (I don't know how to write Chen's lyrics. It's very complicated). I like Ji Xia's decisiveness, courage, and enthusiasm. There are many very three-dimensional characters. Be bold Be bolder (Be bold and fearless)
Shocking! I would say perfect score is not an exaggeration! I have never understood how foreign high-end luxury brands work like this. It turns out that when a brand makes a mistake, it has to bear so much pressure. It turns out that an ambitious woman can be so beautiful!! Jiang Lan Fei Ying: Both of them had a great impact on themselves in childhood, so one is unwilling to accept a relationship as complicated as marriage; the other is very real and bold about work, treats girls with great respect, and once he falls in love, he cannot extricate himself. Fei Ying's personality in doing things is like another self hidden deep in Jiang Lang's heart. Her own personality and work do not allow her to do this, but she is willing to support Fei Ying in doing this. As long as they can bear the consequences, then the two of them will bear it together. Chen Qirui Ji Xia: Both of them are very good leaders. The age of 40+ has brought them a lot of life experience and work experience. They have been together for 9 years. Their personalities and work did not allow them to understand each other better. But judging from many small details, they were very happy when they got along together. However, it was later discovered that Ji Xia thought Neal liked the perfect her, so he decisively let go and returned to his true self. She did not give up on herself because of love; Chen Qirui always thought that the Ji Xia in front of him was the complete Ji Xia, but he found out that it was not until the divorce. But he had fallen deeply in love with Ji Xia. What he loved was everything about Ji Xia, including her hidden side, so even after the divorce, he still paid attention to him, and secretly wanted to get close to her and help her. He knew that Ji Xia had many boyfriends, but he didn't care. He still loved her until the other party was willing to accept him again. Wang She and Tong Yin: I actually don't quite understand the deeper expression of the author, but I think that even though Wang She had a lot of fun when he was young, he would change himself and his concept of relationships with women because of a documentary, so he didn't want to get involved with Tong Yin who just wanted to play, even if he had a crush on the other person at first sight. Because of Tong Yin's repeated entanglement, he was willing to cook for this girl he had a crush on to make her feel comfortable, but what he actually wanted was the other person's love, rather than being used on a whim. I can't understand Tong Yin. I only understand that she wants someone who serves her but doesn't want to develop a relationship. Although she says it's selfish, I think deep down in my heart I also want someone like this... Others: Men have been shaped by our female authors into beautiful figures who respect women and respect marriage. This is a relatively novel character, which makes people feel "perfect" because they are willing to take care of their children at home, to be around their pregnant wife all day long, and to go to her country to be a stay-at-home husband... And the women in more writings have their own thoughts, are meticulous at work, ambitious, and have their own ideas. They do not revolve around men, but live around their own careers and their own ideas. Xu An'an in her teens, Chen Tingliang in her twenties, Jiang Lan in her thirties, Ji Xia and Ms. Song in her forties. Really love them so much!!! The above is all my personal understanding!!! [Salute] This is the first time I have read a novel that is entirely centered around feminism, and it makes me feel the greatness of the author!! I also felt the determination and passion of each character in cultural development and spreading Chinese culture. I also learned and felt a lot here. Women can have families and careers, but they cannot lose themselves. The sculpting of men will be very dreamy and rare, but I pay more attention to the strength of women. May we all have the courage to be ourselves. May we all fearlessly follow the ideals in our hearts. Be bold, be border.
I have read a lot of novels recently and sometimes I laugh while reading them. Novels that pass the time are always read very quickly. This is the slowest one I have read recently because it is good-looking and professional. There are indeed parts that I do not understand. And for a star chaser, I have used many of my own real-life cases. It turns out that the industry I envy is not so glamorous. I should say that this is the busiest book I have read with male and female protagonists. Not only the two of them. Everyone in the book [smirking] I am not familiar with luxury goods and street culture, so I am more interested in the sex in the text. Hahahahahahahaha I love children's chants so much. The author is really 👍[salute]
I am very happy to come across such a book at a low point in my life, and I am very grateful to the author for using his mature and sophisticated writing style to create and present such a wonderful story and a group of charming people. Although I have been moved by the relationship between Lan Ying countless times, I still have to say that what moved me more was the long and boring career thinking in it that was disliked by many people. In fact, I am not working in the fashion industry, and my position is at a very low level, but I still resonated wildly when I saw the career struggles in it. Maybe in the workplace, everyone faces the same fundamental dilemma (laughs). And through the selection and development of these characters, I also have more different new ideas about my life and career. All in all, this is a rare and good book! The analysis of many contradictions and problems in it is very profound. I believe everyone who reads it will have different gains~
