Chapter 35 Fashion Show!

Jiang Mingyue hated people who didn't keep their mouths shut the most in her life.

The other party committed a major taboo for her.

The instant the woman lunged at her with the dagger, Jiang Mingyue unleashed a whirlwind kick, knocking the dagger away. At the same time, she launched two jets of water from her hands, striking the woman and the tattooed man behind her in the eyes respectively.

The two screamed in agony, unable to believe that this Chinese girl possessed such unpredictable and miraculous abilities.

As the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet," but what happened today was clearly beyond their control.

Jiang Mingyue was too lazy to punch anyone; if injuries were found, she would have to take responsibility.

She carried many inconspicuous pebbles in her pocket on this trip, specifically to deal with pickpockets and clueless criminals.

Before the couple could react, the small stones came in handy again. Jiang Mingyue disabled their mobility and deprived them of their right to speak.

It will automatically recover after two hours.

The tattooed man had already fainted from fright, while the short woman was still struggling stubbornly.

Jiang Mingyue stepped on the woman's hand. "I've always been kind to others and never bully women. You've broken my exception. Besides, in our China, those who don't keep their mouths clean and create bad karma will go to the hell of having their tongues pulled out."

She left those words behind, calmly opened the door, and walked out.

As for why she didn't sever the woman's tendons, Jiang Mingyue adhered to the principle of leaving a way out for others.

Killing and eliminating is definitely not her style of conduct.

Of course, she wouldn't let them off so easily.

Once she was completely out of the women's restroom area, Jiang Mingyue clapped her hands. Immediately afterward, she heard a loud bang from the women's restroom; a water pipe had burst.

The noise was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of the service area staff who went to investigate.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, it sounded like it was coming from inside the women's restroom."

The director crew resting in the parking lot and Wei Lai and others dining in the restaurant were all startled by the commotion. They then exchanged glances, put down what they were doing without a word, and ran towards the women's restroom.

Oh no, Jiang Mingyue is inside!

The group hadn't run far when they suddenly stopped, because Jiang Mingyue was standing at the bottom of the steps fixing her hair, seemingly unaffected.

Looking at the entrance to the women's restroom, service area staff were busy going in and out with mops and buckets, as if a water pipe had burst.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, the staff carried out a man and a woman!

"Damn it! It's those two again. Last time the tourists reported them for robbery, how come they're out so quickly!"

"Stop arguing, call the police right now. They have to compensate you for the broken water pipe."

The exhaled air was lifted back up!

Everyone on the show, including Don Juan and his three companions: "..."

Don Juan was the first to react, striding towards Jiang Mingyue and carefully examining her. "Mingyue, are you alright?"

Even though he already knew how capable she was, he still couldn't help but ask again. He was the captain, and he had been careless; he shouldn't have let her go to the women's restroom alone.

Jiang Mingyue noticed the worry and lingering fear in Tang Huang's eyes. She patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Brother Tang, I'm fine. They're only capable of this much; it's nothing special."

Wei Lai and the others were left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

These fools ran into Jiang Mingyue and really bit the hand that feeds them. But thinking about it now, it's still a bit scary. If it had been the female team doctor who was with the production crew, they might have been robbed easily.

The assistant director wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly reminded everyone, "From now on, all outdoor activities must be done in groups."

Everyone responded in unison, "Understood, Director."

After the minor incident, the group resumed their journey. This time, Don Juan drove, and the five of them kept quiet about what had happened at the service area, lest someone with ulterior motives exaggerate it.

The live stream was paused during our rest stop at the service area, but it's starting again now.

Wow, only forty minutes! The brothers are so fast, they didn't keep us waiting long.

Some people say that city is particularly dirty and chaotic.

[We suggest the Best Actor cast skip the city and head to nearby islands and ancient towns for sightseeing.]

Brothers, please don't go near the train station in the city center. I went there last year, and I still vividly remember the stench of urine.

Wei Lai read the comments: "Thank you for your concern, netizens. We are not staying in the city center. We have booked a guesthouse in the suburbs. Tomorrow morning we will first visit the old town, then go to the island, and finally visit the city center on the last day."

[The brothers' strategy guide is quite detailed!]

The itinerary is reasonable; the scenery in the main urban area is not as good as that in the southern part of Xidao Island, and half a day is enough for a quick visit.

[The birthplace of pizza, brothers, try as much as you can for us!]

Around 8 p.m., Don Juan and his group arrived safely at the booked guesthouse. The production team also booked a nearby guesthouse so that everyone could look after each other.

After a five-hour journey, everyone was exhausted, and the live stream ended early as everyone went back to their rooms to wash up and rest.

Jiang Mingyue released Betley and told him to keep a low profile and not to tease the tourists.

Beatrix was speechless and couldn't help but mutter, "Jiang, you're becoming more and more like my mother."

Jiang Mingyue glared at him. "I brought you out here, so of course I have to take responsibility for you. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Weld family will come after me."

"Okay, forget I said that."

The next morning, to save time, Don Juan and his group of five did not cook breakfast at the guesthouse, but went out to eat breakfast before setting off for the ancient city.

This is an ancient city from a thousand years ago, which has preserved a relatively complete layout. The volcanic ash eruption has damaged the roofs, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

Being there feels like stepping back in time a thousand years ago.

With plenty of time, they spent the whole day exploring the old town and even hired a local guide for fifty euros to give them a detailed introduction to the town's history.

After a morning of enthusiastic sightseeing, the group took a break and the tour guide told them, "I'm very sorry, but we have to close early at 3 p.m. Tonight, there will be a performance show in the open space in front of the ancient city. I heard that people from big cities in the north will be coming, so you should come early to get a good spot."

Don Juan asked, "Is it a fashion show or an acrobatic performance?"

Tour guide: "I'm not sure of the specifics, but it seems like they came from the rice market."

Everyone was taken aback. Rice market, that was most likely a fashion show.

Wei Lai teased Don Juan, "Brother Tang, you used to participate in fashion shows at the rice market all the time, maybe you know someone there this time."

Ji Wenxuan loves to join in the fun. "We have nothing to do in the evenings, so we can come over and feast our eyes."

The viewers in the live stream were even more excited than the guests, typing furiously on their keyboards and flooding the comments section with messages.

Ah! I really want to see the brothers walk the runway!

Could you ask the production team to arrange this? The ratings would definitely be phenomenal.

[Program Production Team: You're just giving us difficult problems.]

[The organizers also need to agree, right?]

Please, those of us on the front lines are most afraid of last-minute changes to the established plans.

There were supporters and opponents. The production team kept track of public opinion in the live broadcast room. The majority of people supported the show. Seeing the high enthusiasm of the netizens, the production team discussed it internally and decided not to let go of the traffic that was delivered to them.

Five minutes later, the assistant director approached Don Juan and his group of five and asked, "Mr. Don, if we can persuade the organizers, would you be willing to participate?"

Wei Lai had no objection. "Director, we're willing to participate. It's a win-win situation. It brings viewership and exposure to the show, and we can also generate some trending topics."

Meng Qinzhou was cautious and laid out the unpleasant truth upfront: "Director, the premise is that it has to be a fashion show. If it's an underwear show or something else weird, we won't participate."

The assistant director chuckled, "Definitely. We'll first determine its theme, and it's best if it aligns with our domestic values."

Don Juan no longer needs to go through the company to accept jobs; he is now practically a boss and can make all the decisions himself.

He had no objection.

After finalizing the selection of Wei Lai and the other three, the assistant director turned to Jiang Mingyue and asked, "Teacher Jiang, have you ever participated in this kind of fashion show before?"

Jiang Mingyue pondered carefully, "Director Xu, do the red carpet walks at award ceremonies count?"

The assistant director gave an awkward smile, "Of course not. So, would Teacher Jiang be willing to come on stage?"

Wei Lai and the other three participated; if Jiang Mingyue didn't, she would seem out of place.

Participating in a modeling show would be helpful to Wei Lai and the other three's fashion careers, but it's optional for her. She refused, and the production team understood and wouldn't force her to participate.

Jiang Mingyue voiced her concerns, "Director Xu, if the models are wearing suits, Brother Wei and the others can pull them off. The female models have larger frames, and I might not be able to wear their clothes. If there are suitable outfits, I would be willing to give it a try."

Having received Jiang Mingyue's instructions, the assistant director knew what to do. "Okay, let's go and communicate first, and then report the latest progress to everyone later."

Half an hour later, the production team gave Don Juan and his group a detailed report on the event-related details they had gathered.

"The century-old Italian luxury brand L, in collaboration with the local municipality, held an autumn fashion and environmental protection-themed fashion show in the old city. The guests invited were all big names in the fashion industry, including not only the world's top male models, but also many celebrities from the film and television industry."

"The clothing features a color scheme of black, white, and earth tones, emphasizing environmental protection and simplicity. This is the clothing catalog; you can take a look."

"Then we communicated with the organizers, and they were very happy to have five guests from China attend. They had originally reserved five minutes for free interaction, which could be used for your performance."

"In addition to local residents, the invited guests included wealthy businessmen and political figures from various circles. They would buy several sets of clothes on the spot as environmental donations to support the subsequent work of repairing and maintaining the ancient city."

"So this is a very meaningful event, and the production team recommends that everyone participate. The male models all have two sets of spare clothes, and you can borrow them. The show is scheduled for 8:00 to 9:30 pm. You all have more than two hours to prepare. If you agree, let's go together now."

The activity was very meaningful and related to environmental protection, so Wei Lai and the other four immediately agreed.

In preparation for tonight's fashion show, they decided to skip dinner and focus on giving their best performance so as not to embarrass the Chinese people.

Viewers in the live stream cheered when they learned that Wei Lai and her team had confirmed their participation in the fashion show, and some even decided to stay up all night to watch the live stream.

Ah, I can't wait for the brothers' fashion stage performance tonight!

I've seen the brothers' fashion shows before, but I'm really looking forward to Sister Jiang's runway walk. I wonder what she'll wear.

The camera just briefly panned across the clothing catalog; it must be clothes for late autumn, like turtlenecks, suits, and trousers.

In the evening, Don Juan and his four companions were taken to the backstage area temporarily set up by the organizers.

The person in charge of the event was Monica, a strong woman in her forties. Monica spoke a little Chinese, and coincidentally, she knew Don Juan!

Don Juan was also surprised to see Monica. He went up to shake her hand and greeted her, "Monica, it's so good to see you here."

Monica was also very excited, smiling as she shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with Don Juan, "Haha, Don, it's been a long time! So you were one of the five guests! That's great, we can work together happily again."

Don Juan introduced Monica to the four women, including Wei Lai, and Monica greeted them politely.

Wei Lai, Ji Wenxuan, and Meng Qinzhou are all tall and slender, natural clothes hangers.

Monica was very satisfied. "You all look great, which is perfect for this season's theme. I've already figured out how to style your outfits. Come on, handsome guys, let my assistant pick out some clothes for you now."

Monica's two male assistants led Wei Lai and the other two to choose clothes first.

After the three left, Monica finally saw Jiang Mingyue and was immediately awestruck. She couldn't help but surround Jiang Mingyue and exclaim, "My God, Tang, where did you find this girl? She's so stunning!"

Jiang Mingyue wore a black windbreaker and a black cashmere hat today, revealing only her clean face.

Her eyes were like black lacquer, and she exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance, like a snow lotus blooming on a snow-capped mountain, exquisite, pure and elegant, making people dare not touch her.

Don Juan smiled. From a worldly perspective, Jiang Mingyue was undoubtedly beautiful.

He lied to Monica, saying, "Mingyue is rather introverted, so please try to choose clothes that suit her."

Monica rarely saw Don Juan speak up for anyone, so she winked at him and said, "Don, I understand. Don't worry, I won't bully your little darling."

The two were speaking Italian, and Monica, assuming Jiang Mingyue wouldn't understand, spoke without any restraint.

Little cutie?

Don Juan almost choked. He glanced at Jiang Mingyue and, confirming that the girl didn't understand, felt a little relieved. He didn't explain further, knowing that saying more would only make things worse and seem like he was trying to cover something up.

Jiang Mingyue was speechless. What a cute little devil! To avoid making them uncomfortable, she decided to pretend that she didn't understand.

Monica smiled and asked Jiang Mingyue in English, "Jiang, do you prefer a cool style or something more feminine?"

Before Jiang Mingyue could answer, Monica spoke up, "I think you're already quite dashing. If you wear cool clothes again, people might get tired of it. I want that contrast, you know? A contrast will definitely make everyone's eyes light up!"

Monica, as expected of the organizer, knows how to understand the audience's psychology.

Jiang Mingyue took the opportunity to state her requirements: "As long as the clothes are not revealing and don't have any messy, dirty words or logos, I'm fine with whatever I wear."

Monica readily agreed, "Deal. I'll take care of the clothes. You can stay as you are."

To prepare for the upcoming fashion show, the live stream of Wei Lai and her five friends had to be paused and will resume at 8 PM. Netizens were eagerly anticipating the fashion show featuring Don Juan and his group, and the topic quickly became a trending topic.

[This group of award-winning actors is really lucky; they seem to encounter all sorts of good things.]

That's not how it works; it's purely a coincidence.

Uncle Long's group also participated in fashion shows, but they were invited guests.

[You guys don't know Monica. Monica is a fashion icon. The S&M's early spring show that she collaborated with the movie star on before was amazing, and it directly solidified the movie star's status in the fashion world. I'm kind of looking forward to it.]

[This is a menswear show, will Sister Jiang actually wear men's clothing on stage?]

[Men's clothing is fine, we can't exactly wear women's clothing, otherwise it would go against the theme.]

[Sister Jiang would definitely be absolutely stunning in men's clothing, looking forward to it!]

Am I just envious of Sister Jiang for getting to see so many top male models?

Haha, sister! You're not alone, you still have me.

Another member of the Clover Girls Group, Liu Mo'er, saw this trending topic while filming and immediately called Tan Li, saying, "Lili, Jiang Mingyue is going to steal the spotlight again."

Tan Li is still practicing her dance diligently in the practice room in preparation for the Clover Girls' long-awaited concert on New Year's Day.

Upon learning of this, Tan Li instantly flew into a rage and, taking advantage of the fact that no one else was in the practice room, began to curse and swear.

"MoMo, look how unfair God is to us. I'm working so hard practicing dancing, and you have to practice singing while filming, while she's all carefree and relaxed abroad, and she's always trending on social media!"

"Who says otherwise? I don't understand why Sister Min agreed to let her leave the industry. The three million yuan penalty for breach of contract was too lenient on her. Xinghui Entertainment even agreed to give her a year's grace period."

Tan Li was unaware of the reason, and Zhu Min was unwilling to discuss the details of Jiang Mingyue's contract termination with her, only instructing her to practice her dance well.

"MoMo, I'll find a way to dig up some gossip. Humph, I can't let her get away with it so easily."

Liu Mo'er reminded her of something else: "Jiang Mingyue's Weibo followers have been increasing, and they're almost four million."

Among the three members of the Clover Girls Group, Tan Li has the most fans. She has 10 million followers on Weibo, including 8 million active followers and 2 million zombie followers that the company bought with money. In addition, she has more than 5 million followers on the Langyin APP.

Therefore, Tan Li has the highest commercial value and the most endorsements.

Liu Mo'er's appearance is somewhat plain, but she completely enhances her looks with her superb makeup skills, ranking second in both fan base and commercial value.

Liu Mo'er has eight million followers on Weibo, three million of which were bought with money, so she is particularly jealous of Jiang Mingyue's rapid increase in followers.

Tan Li dismissed it, saying, "It's fine. Didn't she announce her retirement from the entertainment industry? No matter how many fans she gains, she won't make much money if she doesn't accept endorsements. The breach of contract fees alone will be enough for her to pay back."

Liu Mo'er felt that Tan Li's words made sense and felt much more at ease. "That's true. After she finishes filming the variety show, there's still one episode of the All-Star Games to film. I heard that Sister Min signed her up for the archery event. She doesn't know how to shoot an arrow. When the time comes, her true colors will be revealed, and she might lose all the fans she gained."
