The two of them surrounded Lu Jin, chattering away. "Can you two talk one at a time?" Lu Jin said, annoyed.
The two of them fell silent instantly.
“Li Tianlei, you go first,” Lu Jin said, pointing at him.
Li Tianlei put the script on the table: "Take a look at this script. There may be some awkward plot points, but I haven't figured out a solution yet. You can make some changes and send them to me."
"Okay, what's your theme this time?" Lu Jin asked.
Li Tianlei turned a page. "It's a bit of a mystery, so I'm also thinking of a perfect logical loop, but it's a bit difficult."
Lu Jin nodded: "Okay, I'll give you feedback after I've read it."
"Let me see your clothes. The last one and the third one are pretty good, and they suit Jian Ruoxi's style. You can leave them for her for now." Lu Jin carefully looked at the design drafts that Yu Qi had given her.
The studio opened smoothly amidst all the playful banter, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner every day.
Ran Jie advised Jian Ruoxi: "Don't accept any activities during this period."
“But the exposure rate can’t be increased.” Jian Ruoxi was a little worried.
Ran Jie advised her: "Even if your exposure increases, what then? You'll still be in postpartum confinement, unable to participate in anything, unable to film, and your exposure will still decrease. You might as well use this time to stay behind the scenes."
"With the studio opening successfully, as long as your haute couture brand continues to generate buzz, you'll still have a place in the entertainment industry," Ran Jie offered a rather pragmatic piece of advice.
Jian Ruoxi also affirmed him: "What you said is indeed more prudent. I was thinking of doing variety shows before, but now I think I should give up."
And so, Jian Ruoxi began to live behind the scenes, running her haute couture brand YJ while expanding her studio.
Although it is a high-end brand, it is a newly opened brand with little traffic and popularity. Even though Jian Ruoxi brought huge exposure in the first wave, it could not stop the decline in popularity later.
So fewer and fewer people have been coming to YJ, the high-end brand, lately. Ran Jie held a meeting in the office with the data report and announced to everyone: "Recently, our clothing brand's exposure has started to decline, and only a few people come to our brand to borrow clothes."
The group was a little discouraged, but Jian Ruoxi was the first to react and encourage them: "It's normal that no one placed an order at the beginning. Who would place an order with an unknown brand at the start?"
"Celebrities also need the support of big names to enhance their reputation."
Yu Qi added: "That's true. When I was attending high-end brand events abroad, many celebrities wanted to get tickets to a fashion week, but only a very few people could get in."
After discussion, we decided to first elevate the brand's positioning. Once we have a very high positioning, it will naturally attract a large number of celebrities.
Jian Ruoxi asked Yu Qi, "You mentioned international fashion weeks before, right? Then let's take our clothes to an international fashion week and make a splash."
Although that's what they say, achieving such a goal won't be easy. Yu Qi was a little worried: "It's possible, but it's a bit difficult."
If you want a celebrity to wear your clothes, you're essentially trying to leverage their influence, so why would any celebrity agree so easily?
Jian Ruoxi became anxious and asked Ran Jie, "Go search and see if there are any celebrities who have activities recently."
The tense atmosphere in the office continued until the end of the workday.
Ran Jie let out a long sigh: "Wait a minute, most people haven't replied to my emails yet, they're probably busy."
So everyone had to part ways. After returning home, Jian Ruoxi slumped onto the sofa, motionless.
Lu Jin was the same, as if all his yang energy had been drained, and the two of them were placed on the sofa like two pancakes, one on each side.
Just after getting off work, Gu Hao, carrying a briefcase, opened the door to Lu Shen's house. As soon as Lu Shen stepped into the living room, he saw two clumps of noodles on the sofa.
"What's wrong?" Lu Shen asked, looking at the two gloomy women.
The house was quiet, and no one answered him.
He had no choice but to walk over, spread their legs, and sit between them. While massaging Jian Ruoxi's feet, he asked, "What exactly happened?"
Jian Ruoxi then said to him in a hoarse voice, "I'm exhausted. Almost no one is ordering our high-end brand. We want to go to international fashion weeks and find some celebrities to endorse our clothes."
Lu Shen praised her, "This plan is good, any problems?"
“There are huge problems. First of all, we can’t find any celebrities to endorse our clothes.” Jian Ruoxi cried out to the sky.
Lu Jin chimed in, "It's too difficult. Brother Jie was sending emails until he got off work, and almost no one replied."
“Almost no one replied, but some people did reply.” Lu Shen grasped the key point of Lu Jin’s words.
Lu Jin looked at him helplessly: "Can't you guess who that person is? We're best friends."
Lu Shen answered, word by word: "Su Ziyu".
The three fell silent. Jian Ruoxi broke the silence: "Su Ziyu was the first to agree, and the only one to agree."
Lu Shen sighed inadvertently, which amused Lu Jin and Jian Ruoxi, and the three of them burst into laughter on the sofa.
The news that Su Ziyu had agreed to wear YJ haute couture for an appearance quickly spread.
However, after seeing the email, Han Mingyi ignored it and secretly invited two celebrities to have coffee at the coffee shop.
"I don't plan to wear their clothes, what about you?" Han Mingyi was the first to speak up.
One of them said, "Although I haven't agreed yet, I have a good relationship with Yu Qi, so I won't join forces with you."
Another statement: "After the agent showed me the email, I put it aside. It's just because we're busy. Yu Qi and I often hang out together."
These two people are no less famous than Han Mingyi, so the three of them are on equal footing when they sit together. Seeing this, Han Mingyi changed her tune: "I'm not targeting Yu Qi, I just think Jian Ruoxi is too arrogant."
“She’s been frantically climbing the ladder lately, drawing all the media’s attention to that. I felt that the three of us wouldn’t have a good future in the entertainment industry, which is why I made this suggestion.”
However, the two people didn't buy it, gave a perfunctory reply, and left.
Although Han Mingyi was angry, she didn't say much and politely saw the two of them off. However, she immediately turned around and instructed her assistant: "Go online and buy more online trolls."
Sure enough, it wasn't long before people started criticizing it online.
"YJ's haute couture is so ugly, who would wear their clothes?"
“In our village, even homeless people wouldn’t use this as a blanket.”
