Chapter 199 Brother, shall we give it a try? Live broadcast of the competition [2 updates]

Two pictures are attached below.

One photo shows Luo Ziyue standing by the lake, a gentle breeze blowing through her long hair.

The other photo is taken under a tree, where a fiery red dress stands out vividly against the green foliage.

Although Luo Ziyue hasn't appeared on Weibo much for over a month, her team has been consistently producing marketing materials and press releases.

It's either about outshining someone or putting someone down; neither male nor female celebrities can escape it.

Some netizens also know that Luo Ziyue was able to debut from "Youth 101" because she had a sugar daddy, but most casual observers don't care.

They use Weibo just to read the news or find some gossip to have some fun.

Fans flooded the comments section of the Weibo post.

[Holy crap, holy crap, I'm dying of excitement! Ziyue looks absolutely stunning in this outfit!]

[I've never seen this style of clothing before. Is Ziyue going to some kind of banquet?]

[An art student passing by commented: Isn't this dress related to the Vermilion Bird, a mythical creature from classical Chinese mythology? It's absolutely stunning.]

Most netizens didn't know who Luo Ziyue was, but they were still drawn to these two photos.

Soon, a trending topic was pushed to the top of the trending list.

#Luo Ziyue, Vermilion Bird Dress#

However, its popularity wasn't very high, ranking only eighteenth.

But with the added boost from Huaxiu, the popularity is still rising.

Huaxiu originally planned to hire a professional model, but in order to increase brand awareness, she chose Luo Ziyue instead.

Anyway, being infamous is still being famous, so they don't care.

Upon seeing Luo Ziyue's Weibo post, the female secretary's first reaction was that someone within the company had leaked the design drafts, but upon closer inspection, that seemed impossible.

But if it wasn't leaked, how come Luo Ziyue's dress looks so similar to the one they made, and they're both related to the Vermilion Bird?

"Boss, things are not looking good." The female secretary's expression became more serious. "We also have publicity later, but it's too late. If Actor Shang and Actress Xie post on Weibo, they will probably be accused of plagiarism."

Ying Zijin slowly closed her eyes.

A faint white mist gathered at the corner of her eyes, then dispersed.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and said calmly, "No need, proceed as planned."

"Okay." The female secretary nodded. "The public relations department is ready at any time."

Huaxiu wanted to release the dress to generate buzz before the finals, but Chuguang Media did not.

Luo Ziyue looked stunning in that dress.

However, compared to the four dresses produced by Chuguang Media, they were a whole level lower.

Besides, how can a star who has only been in the industry for a short time compare to award-winning actors and actresses?

The female secretary left the office, puzzled.

Ying Zijing leaned back in her swivel chair, twirled her pen, and thought that she was just too lazy.

The last time she was on Earth, she also casually threw away an unsatisfactory ancient martial arts manual into the trash can, and no one picked it up.

Oh, the dress design is different from the ancient martial arts manual.

The latter, which she wrote casually, was incomprehensible to most people.

I won't throw it away anymore; I'll keep it in my pocket as a cushion for Dudu.

**

Qingzhi, Elite Class.

Zhong Zhiwan looked at the message Mu Chenzhou sent her, her excitement was hard to contain.

Her fingers trembled as she replied.

Please thank your mother for me; I will definitely be there on time.

A minute later, Mu Chenzhou sent another WeChat message.

[Zhiwan, don't be nervous. My mom has already prepared your dress. You just need to go through the motions and attend the awards ceremony.]

Zhong Zhiwan's breathing became unsteady.

Mrs. Mu must have received some inside information to know that she was sure to win the award.

Her efforts were not in vain.

Zhong Zhiwan put her phone back in her desk, stood up, walked to the podium, and patted the table: "Let me tell you all that I need to take a few days off, so the vice class monitor will be handling all the affairs while I'm gone."

Hearing this, the students couldn't help but feel curious.

Zhong Zhiwan never misses school, even when she is sick.

This was the first time she had to ask for leave.

"You guys didn't know this, did you?" The girl sitting next to Zhong Zhiwan asked excitedly, "Did you guys see the Weibo post Luo Ziyue made this morning?"

"The dress she's wearing was designed by Zhiwan. She's going to O Continent for the finals, and as the designer, of course Zhiwan has to go."

The students in the class were all taken aback.

Those who can get into the elite class are all the pride of heaven.

But before the college entrance examination, everyone's attention is focused on studying, and interests are put aside.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Zhiwan not only secured first place in her grade but also won an award for fashion design.

"Zhiwan, you're amazing! A goddess is a goddess, you're good at everything."

"Will the finals be broadcast live? Let's watch it together and cheer for you, Zhiwan."

Ying Yuexuan, who was still scribbling and drawing, looked up, bewildered: "Zhiwan, when did you start learning design? You don't know how to design, so how did you manage to participate in the competition?"

The noise in the classroom gradually subsided.

The students looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhong Zhiwan was initially taken aback and became somewhat annoyed.

She hated Ying Yuexuan the most because she couldn't speak properly.

Then Zhong Zhiwan's expression turned cold, and her words became somewhat sarcastic: "You spent a year in O Continent, didn't you also start doing some scientific research? Don't you understand the saying 'a person should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation'?"

"Yeah, yeah," a classmate chimed in. "Zhiwan's good at design, and Yuexuan's good at research, unlike Ying Zijin, she's... "

Before she could finish saying "all," Ying Yuexuan interrupted her angrily, "Everyone's situation is different. What does it matter if my sister doesn't know anything? She's still young, and she'll have many more opportunities later."

She stood up, holding her books: "I'm going to Class 19 to deliver something to my younger sister."

**

Ying Zijin is not in Class 19.

She had special privileges with the principal, and the other students knew it too.

The principal was very generous; anyone who could get a perfect score on the gifted class's exam could do so freely.

However, once you enter the senior year of high school, there will be standardized mock exams, almost once a week.

After learning about this, Ying Zijing applied to the principal, saying that it would be better for her to take the college entrance examination directly.

Once a week, my hands are practically falling off.

There is an ancient street in Shanghai that has preserved some ancient buildings and has now become a tourist attraction.

However, on a weekday afternoon, with the sun shining brightly, there weren't many people.

Fu Yun Shen turned his head and looked at the girl beside him. His eyelashes fluttered: "Yao Yao, do you want to go out and play in a while?"

Ying Zijing took a bite of her ice cream cone: "Where to?"

"Hmm—" Fu Yunshen pondered for a moment, then smiled, "It's a fun place, you should like it."

Ying Zijin nodded: "Then go."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen raised the corner of his eye: "You agreed so quickly, aren't you afraid I'll sell you out?"

"Don't worry, I should be the one selling to you."

"?"

Ying Zijin turned her head and scrutinized him for a few seconds: "He's good-looking, has a good figure, and a good personality. Many rich heiresses and socialites want him. Let's put him up for auction, the highest bidder wins."

She can earn a lot of money.

"Yaoyao, you have no conscience." Fu Yunshen leaned back, chuckled softly, and said lightly, "You're wrong about one thing, you have a bad temper."

“I think it’s pretty good.” Ying Zijing seemed to remember something and took out a box of sunscreen from her backpack. “I improved it, but I haven’t had anyone try it yet.”

His tone remained calm and even, his voice was cold and emotionless.

But to the ear, it carries a hint of desire.

"Should I try it, brother?"

"..."

**

The final competition was held in the auditorium of the Royal Academy of Arts in Europe.

The final is scheduled for July 23rd, starting at 7 PM.

So that afternoon, after discussions between Chuguang Media and the judges of the Royal Academy of Arts of O Continent, it was finally decided that each party would receive one set of formal attire, one for men and one for women.

But for some reason, no matter what men's clothing is chosen, women's clothing must be the "Vermilion Bird" set.

The judges were already very dissatisfied that Huaxiu had sent out the dress ahead of time.

Generally, entries cannot be submitted before the competition is over.

[@ShangyaozhiV: See you in the live stream tonight.]

In less than a minute, the number of comments exceeded 10,000.

[I have to say, Chuguang Media's resources are really amazing. My brother just got in, and he's already going abroad. That's trash, Xingyu.]

[Son, I'm not trying to be mean, but could you post a few more pictures? Mommy's out of material to edit.]

[Delete it, delete it quickly, have you all forgotten we can't call him "baby"? Privately we're "mommy fans," but on the surface we're "girlfriend fans" and "wife fans." Don't let Yaozhi know.]

Shang Yao, who was very sensitive to the word "zai" (崽), noticed it at a glance: "..."

hehe.

After Shang Yaozhi posted on Weibo, Xie Manyu followed suit, arranged by Chuguang Media.

[@谢曼雨V: No nine-grid photo, see you in the live stream tonight.]

Xie Manyu has always been low-key. Although she doesn't have a high profile, she has many loyal fans.

[Yu Bao, you finally remembered your Weibo password!]

My sister's aura is intimidating! That gaze, that figure—absolutely stunning!

These two Weibo posts, without any promotion by paid trolls, quickly became trending topics.

【However, don't you guys think that Xie Yinghou's dress looks a lot like our Ziyue's? The pattern is the same, isn't it?】

[What's going on? Xie Manyu is a Best Actress, right? A double Golden Horse Award winner, right? She's reached such a high level, she wouldn't stoop so low as to try and piggyback on our Ziyue's fame, would she?]

[This condescending tone...even a Best Actress wouldn't be this arrogant!]

[Xie Manyu is a senior actress and a film queen, while Ziyue is just a newcomer. However, this dress was sent to her by Xie Manyu five days ago. Please don't lower yourself to try and take advantage of her [smile]]

Much, much later—

Young Master Fu realized that whenever someone called him "brother," something bad was bound to happen.
