Alas, Sandra had to bail the grandmaster out through her own means, but it was already too late as the news about the ritual had been spread all over Bayside City. They became the laughing stock of the citizens and the video was spread all over the internet.
“Did you guys watch the video? The Yard Family got their grandmaster to practice magic and was caught by the police officers!”
“Haha! The grandmaster of the previous dynasty is not as good as our high priest. At least ours hasn’t been caught by the police yet!”
“Indeed, our high priest is better. Haha!”
As expected, the present was better than the past.
After Daniel screwed over the Ronney Group and got them fined quite a few times, the company finally lay low for a while. Sandra used her connections again to handle the rest of the matters, and they finally came out with a plan.
What awaited them was a great plan to be executed!
And whether they could succeed would depend on their capabilities.
The fashion week led by Sophia was divided into several sections. There were catwalks held by various fashion companies, competitions, fashion forums, auctions, and so on, promoting both business and the art industries. She also acquired some of the old fashion brands that were not doing well these days and formed her own company.
After the many catastrophes that Cethos had gone through, its fashion industry had also experienced a lot of shortcomings. Now that the country was rich and strong, it was the best time for them to develop the fashion industry.
Sophia took the lead and integrated the Bayside City’s Jewelry Association, High Fashion Association, Model Association, Designer Association, and others into a brand new organization—Bayside City Fashion Association. She served as the president and had convened the fashion industries in the city to hold a fashion week event. The aim was not only to overthrow the Ronney Group but also to introduce domestic fashion brands to the world.
Once the framework was set up, Sophia began to work on the content.
First, she needed money.
No one would be able to engage in the fashion industry without money.
Fortunately, Sophia was rich. She had contributed a lot of money; otherwise, she would not be able to scale it up. The fashion industries worked together and even the government was very supportive. Everyone was determined to make the event as big as possible.
Since the Ronney Group entered the Cethosian market, not only had they overthrown meritorious people like Kenny who had expanded the market, but they also got rid of dissidents and fired a large number of people.
In addition to the staff brought over by the Yard Family, all designers and important personnel of the current Ronney Group were mostly foreigners. They only recruited Cethosians for positions like security guards and cleaners.
It was unprecedented discrimination of nationality.
A group of talented local designers joined the JNS Group because they were rejected by the Ronney Group.
“I’m leaving the guest invitation to you, Michael. Oh, right! About the Cethos Fashion Design Competition and Miss Cethos Competition; can you please use your connections and move the dates to our fashion week. Sponsorship is not a problem; we aren’t short of money. You can also invite some Oscar best actors or actresses.”
“Little Kitten, can you please ask Mr. Blond to use his power in the underworld to make sure that our fashion week is safe? And also ask him to invite the fashionista from your Winston Family from abroad to attend please.”
“Linus, where is the Cethosian fashion godfather you mentioned last time? Give me his address. I’m going abroad in the next few days. I’ll go look for him in the meantime.”
Sophia was like a leader when she assigned tasks to the others. Knowing that she was about to do something big, everyone was very understanding by contributing money and effort. The Winstons, Michels, and the Fletchers were also very supportive as well.
On the other hand, Sophia would be looking for talents overseas personally. Cethos was not short of talented people in the fashion industry, but due to the domestic market downturn and other reasons, a lot of Cethosian had gone overseas for further career development. Many Cethosians were active in the fashion industry and Sophia had had her eyes on some of them; she was now ready to meet them in person.
Thinking that he could help her out, Michael was very enthusiastic about going abroad with her.
