University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
In a single day, "Chinese style," "Sun and Moon Clothing," and "Qin Xiaoyu" became new buzzwords.
If no one knows these things, then coming to Fashion Week is a waste of time; it's like watching a fake show.
This was a tremendous honor. Qin Xiaoyu was dizzy and a little giddy. Fortunately, A Lei was with her, handling everything meticulously, and nothing went wrong.
"Why do I feel like I'm drunk?" Qin Xiaoyu's face still felt flushed when she got back to her place.
“You’ve reached the pinnacle of your life, that’s why you’re afraid of heights.” A Lei pinched her nose.
"No, no, this is just a small platform, how could it be the peak? There will be even higher." Qin Xiaoyu was not one to be satisfied.
She had to keep walking forward until there was no road left, and then she would build one herself.
“You must be tired. Now relax and get some rest. Don’t overthink things. From today onwards, this trip to Paris is all about enjoyment.” Are picked her up and kissed her gently.
"I'll listen to you. From now on, I'm all yours. Whatever you say is fine." Qin Xiaoyu leaned against him, wanting to fall asleep right away; she was so tired.
The phone rang at an inopportune time, but I couldn't ignore it; not many people knew her number.
The phone downstairs has been ringing off the hook with congratulatory calls.
Only a few close relatives knew the phone number upstairs.
"Xiaoyu, you've done a great job, I'm very pleased. The tremendous success of Riyue Apparel has lived up to the organization's cultivation and trust." Her aunt was still speaking in a bureaucratic tone, and Qin Xiaoyu wished she could rush to her side and kiss her on the cheek.
"My aunt's information network is really good." Qin Xiaoyu stuck her tongue out at A Lei while covering the phone.
She never imagined the news would spread so quickly. It had reached China already, and even alerted her aunt.
"Fool, this is a big deal, your aunt must be watching the live broadcast. You've stirred up a huge wave in China," A Lei mocked.
"Thank you, Auntie. Please think of me when good things happen. I won't let you down." Qin Xiaoyu chuckled after listening to her aunt talk about the policies for a while and cut her off.
Her aunt couldn't very well turn against her, since she was doing the right thing for now, so she decided to spoil her for the time being.
She wasn't pampered by just one person; Qin Xiaoyu felt overflowing with love. Just like when the screens were being dismantled at the end of the fashion show, Fu Di repeatedly told the workers to be extremely careful.
“This is my dad’s favorite screen. When my older brother was little, he would get a beating from him if he got it a little dirty. Now my sister can use it whenever she wants,” Fu Di said with a hint of jealousy.
"Raise sons frugally and daughters lavishly. This eldest daughter has never been around, so naturally she needs to be pampered more," Fu Yongnian said with a smile. Xiaoyu's mother leaned against him, her smile incredibly sweet.
There was only one person Qin Xiaoyu called to share the good news with: Lu Di. Contrary to his usual behavior, Lu Di, who typically lectured on policies like a teacher, listened very attentively this time, afraid of missing a single detail.
"We really have to thank you for making Sun Moon Apparel what it is today." Qin Xiaoyu choked up as she said this.
Lu Di remained silent for a while.
"Little Fish, don't say thank you. We don't need that word between us. Just focus on your development, and I'll do my best to protect you."
Qin Xiaoyu put down the phone, and A Lei walked over.
"Didn't you remind him to take care of his health? He just started work and he's already working himself to the bone again."
"Him? Who can stop him? It's pointless to talk to him." Qin Xiaoyu could only smile bitterly.
The following time was for celebration, but this celebration was for learning, not for playing.
All the designers stayed, and Fu Di sent them many invitations to various fashion shows to learn from different sources.
Some publications, unable to secure an interview with Qin Xiaoyu, turned their attention to other designers and models. Qin Xiaoyu accepted all offers; it was a bountiful harvest for everyone, not just for her.
The more popular the Sun and Moon clothing brand becomes, the better.
Each of the designers has their own strengths and is sought after by audiences with different styles.
Tang Hu was the most unexpected dark horse. He was the youngest and had the fewest works, yet he amazed everyone and was hailed as a genius young designer by the Japanese and Korean industries.
Qin Xiaoyu has already decided that after he returns to China, he should organize the works that he couldn't bring to France, release a series, and hold a fashion show in Hong Kong as a way to strike while the iron is hot and promote them.
Xu Jingye was called a demon.
Despite his elusive style, his positioning is meticulous and precise enough for viewers to recognize him at a glance, making him a true master.
He's already been invited to do a solo show. This victory has made him famous.
Master Liang's works are conservative yet dignified, and are the most stable among all his works. Domestic reports mainly focus on Master Liang's works, as he represents the mainstream of domestic aesthetics.
He took the lead in the domestic market afterward, living up to his reputation as the chief designer of Riyue Apparel.
Jie Wei's works also appeal to Southeast Asian audiences. His exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous patience are the best interpretation of the beauty of Asian women, which is why he has established a firm foothold in the Southeast Asian market.
Zhou Yue is relatively weaker, with no particularly noteworthy works and few reviews.
But Zhou Yue has a particularly good attitude.
“I now see my shortcomings. I rushed into this industry because there was really no one better than me. Now that I’ve jumped out of the well, I realize that I still have a lot of room for growth, which is a good thing. I’m still young, so I’ll keep learning.”
Qin Xiaoyu's last task was to conduct an interview for Miranda's publication. Miranda had long since stopped handling these interviews herself; her subordinates would naturally take care of it.
But this time was different. A Lei made a phone call, and Miranda obediently came over.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Qin Xiaoyu felt a little bad about it.
“Alex begged me, and I couldn’t refuse.” Miranda said this without a trace of displeasure, and even with a hint of smugness.
Qin Xiaoyu glanced at A Lei, who was sitting in the corner with her, and suddenly felt that the mother and son seemed to have become much closer during this trip to Paris.
Miranda's questions were tricky, but they didn't stump Qin Xiaoyu. The two chatted for a good two hours. She was still wearing her signature large sunglasses, which made Qin Xiaoyu a little awkward, as if Miranda was hiding in the shadows, constantly observing her and looking for her weaknesses to exploit.
"This time your brand won by surprise, but you won't be so lucky next time. What method will you use to break the deadlock?"
"It is surprising, but I don't think it's entirely due to luck. So just keep working hard," Qin Xiaoyu immediately retorted.
"Fashion is fickle and doesn't stay true to the past. If you fall behind even a little, you'll be left behind."
“So I’m going to run ahead of it.” Qin Xiaoyu’s answer brought a smile to Miranda’s face, which was captured by the photographer.
Her cold-blooded demeanor is well-known, so this rare smile is probably more attention-grabbing than Qin Xiaoyu's interview.
