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...
The dress Qin Xiaoyu was going to wear that evening was brought from home.
It was a Tang-style suit designed by Master Liang. Qin Xiaoyu had gained a few pounds, and with her hair styled in a bun, she looked round and adorable.
A Lei was worried, so he drove the car himself, and Qin Xiaoyu, finding it spacious, sat in the back.
This time, the models and designers were all accommodated near the show venue. Today's models are different from those naive young girls of yesteryear; they've seen the world and know when to advance and retreat, so they don't need to be constantly kept under our watchful eyes.
Captains like Hu Xing and Da Zhuang have the power to control the overall situation.
This fashion show had already clearly stated its style: "New Force." So everyone was mentally prepared; it was meant to challenge our values and offer a visually striking experience.
Song Miaomiao and Tian Tian had already designed their makeup at home based on fashion trends, both with a postmodern style, which Qin Xiaoyu had already approved of.
Since all the participants were new designers, Qin Xiaoyu was still worried and asked Master Liang to lead the team. They had been preparing backstage for some time.
Qin Xiaoyu glanced at it briefly, then went to sit in the front so she could greet some old friends.
Linda arrived too, beaming as if she were the star of the day. Qin Xiaoyu didn't bother arguing with her, simply greeting her as they arrived and sitting down at their table.
"President Qin, how have you been?" Linda greeted Qin Xiaoyu proactively when she saw that Qin Xiaoyu wasn't moving closer.
"There's some good news to announce later, so be sure to wait until the very end!" Qin Xiaoyu smiled sweetly.
"Good news? I heard, you're expecting another baby?" Linda said generously.
"That's not much good news. The good news I have is much bigger," Qin Xiaoyu said mysteriously.
"Even better news?" Linda's smile gradually disappeared. Although she had been taking revenge on Qin Xiaoyu, she still couldn't stand to see her doing well. Hearing good news made her feel suffocated.
She forced a smile and went back to chat with her friends.
The show opened with Tang Hu's work. The first piece was from Paris Fashion Week, and because it was so outstanding, it was used as the opening piece again, and it was still very impressive.
Qin Xiaoyu was very pleased; the child was very ambitious. After giving him positive feedback in Paris, she made plans for a trip to Hong Kong.
He practically risked his life to do it. He originally thought he would be lucky to produce a dozen or so finished works, but in the end, he had as many as twenty-four that passed the review.
He used to be a chubby guy, weighing 200 pounds, but he lost 30 pounds in just over a month. His old clothes were now hanging on his body and couldn't fit anymore.
Fearing that he would overwork himself, Qin Xiaoyu simply called Tang Hu's mother from her hometown to take care of her son.
"Sister-in-law, career is one thing, but health is also important. Take good care of yourself. Buy whatever you want to eat and cook special meals for you. Oh, and have your uncle get some tonics." Qin Xiaoyu was afraid that Tang Hu's mother would think the prices here were too high, so she gave her another thousand yuan.
"No need for money, I have it. Tang Hu's father's income is pretty good now. The child is ambitious, so I'm willing to spend money on him. Don't worry, you've really gone to a lot of trouble." Tang Hu's mother was now extremely grateful to Qin Xiaoyu.
I brought her along on this trip to Hong Kong; a mother should be there for moments like this.
She was just too shy, so she was placed in the back. Qin Xiaoyu peeked at her and saw that she was only focused on wiping away her tears from beginning to end.
Tang Hu's segment is finished. Next up is the miscellaneous team, which consists of the works of various new fashion designers, each with three or four outfits, and the styles are not uniform.
Thanks to Master Liang's coordination, the whole event felt seamless.
Most importantly, the accessories, bags, and shoes used in this exhibition were all products of Riyue Apparel itself, and the style was somewhat conservative and not distinctive enough. For now, it's best to maintain a steady pace; taking too big a step can easily lead to disarray. We need to proceed slowly.
That's all we can do for now; we can't rush things.
Qin Xiaoyu was already satisfied.
When the designer and model came out to thank everyone, Qin Xiaoyu did not go on stage; she no longer needed to appear in front of them.
Tang Hu walked at the front. It must be said that the Tang family's genes are really good. Plus, he has lost weight, and his handsome appearance makes him look like a second Tang Long.
The designer is so handsome, it's truly extraordinary. Half of the applause was for the fashion, and the other half was for Tang Hu, especially from the socialites in the audience, whose eyes were shining.
Qin Xiaoyu guessed that this kid would be in love soon.
The following dinner was organized by Lin Yao Fangfei, and all the important figures were present. This was Qin Xiaoyu's first visit to Hong Kong since her trip to Paris, so the event was quite grand.
"Xiaoyu, didn't you say there was a surprise?" Lin Yaofangfei was still thinking about it. She had been curious about what the big surprise Qin Xiaoyu had been talking about was.
"Okay, I'm about to announce it."
Qin Xiaoyu glanced at the atmosphere on the field; it was just right. If it dragged on any longer, someone might try to slip away.
She reached out her hand to A Lei, stood up from the sofa, and the two walked hand in hand to the front.
Lin Yaofangfei tapped her cup, drawing everyone's attention, and the room gradually quieted down.
The last time Qin Xiaoyu announced something like this, it was a charitable donation. Everyone was eager to see what interesting thing she would announce this time.
"Sun and Moon Apparel has been established for five years now. On the occasion of our fifth anniversary celebration, I would like to announce a few special offers." Qin Xiaoyu's words caused an uproar among the audience. Anniversary celebration? Special offers? It seemed inappropriate to say these things on this occasion.
To be honest, everyone here is well-off; even the most expensive haute couture orders are ridiculously pricey, so who would care about a small discount?
Qin Xiaoyu still lacks vision.
Linda couldn't help but purse her lips, which Qin Xiaoyu noticed.
"Because it's our fifth anniversary celebration, the discounts are quite substantial. All clothing items in the store, whether new or old, are 50% off."
"50% off?"
"All new and old models are 50% off?"
"Xiaoyu, are you sure you're not mistaken? All styles?" Lin Yaofangfei's expression darkened, and she asked hurriedly. This wasn't anyone else's problem, but it was very important to her.
Qin Xiaoyu is doing this by driving all the profits to the bottom. What is she trying to do?
"Yes, all of them. There are no discounts for haute couture." Qin Xiaoyu glanced at everyone and continued, "The related products from Riyue Apparel will be launched soon, so all haute couture customers will receive a special gift, either a bag or a pair of shoes, whichever you choose. Friendly reminder, these will all be limited editions in the future and have collectible value, so first come, first served."
"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed again. Now that Riyue Apparel has grown so big, its related products must be top-notch. What they have now is a limited edition, a first edition that money can't buy. It has collectible value. What could be a better deal?
Applause finally broke out; this was indeed big news.
Only someone with Qin Xiaoyu's talent could announce such a significant piece of news so casually.
No one dared to say that this young woman had a narrow mind anymore.
