121: My brother-in-law is always so powerful!
When internet celebrities attend celebrations hosted by such large platforms, it is no different from celebrities attending important award ceremonies. Everyone is compared together, so naturally they all have to dress up.
Some internet celebrities do not have enough quality, and whether they look good on the red carpet has little to do with the dress they wear.
Xu Yao is different. She has very good conditions, and Xiaoling can't bear to see her ruined by some messy, off-brand dresses.
Xu Yao was infected by Xiaoling's excitement, and her head also felt hot.
If you can't borrow a dress from a first-tier brand due to the time difference, a new model from a second-tier brand will also work!
Turning around and looking at Gu Jun, Xu Yao calmed down again: "No, no, let's wait until the list is announced before borrowing the dress."
The dresses Xu Yao and Xiao Ling were talking about were not high-end designer items.
No influencer can borrow couture.
Even celebrities may not be able to borrow high-end fashion from big brands, so if you lend it to internet celebrities, the brand’s style will be completely lost!
Top internet celebrities have to pay out of their own pockets if they want to wear haute couture dresses. Xu Yao is not that arrogant yet. She doesn’t have that kind of status and is reluctant to spend money. It’s good enough for her to borrow a dress from the brand’s ready-to-wear line.
Even so, there has to be a suitable reason to borrow clothes, such as Huahu’s annual “Talent Celebration”.
But using this excuse to approach the brand would leak the news in advance. No one else had received an invitation, so how did Xu Yao know about it? Digging deeper, Xu Yao's husband worked at Huahu... If this got out, Gu Jun would be in big trouble!
Gu Jun had no idea about these things. After Xu Yao explained them to him, Gu Jun fell silent.
It turns out that a dress has so many twists and turns.
Gu Jun did not promise Xu Yao that he would get the dress done.
The most convenient way to get Gu Jun to do this was, of course, to buy her something. He could easily sell her status and style with his money; it was just a high-end dress, and Gu Jun could afford it! But he couldn't actually spend the money to buy Xu Yao a gift. Spending tens of millions on a dress would be difficult for him to explain to her why he would spend so lavishly. Even if he could explain, Xu Yao wouldn't accept his kindness; it would be a "significant gift" that she couldn't repay right now.
Gu Jun chose his words carefully. "The list will be announced tomorrow. Don't worry. If you can't find a suitable brand gift, I can help you think of a solution—"
Xu Yao glared at him lightly. "What can you think of? Your only solution is to spend money to buy it. A dress costs at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and you only wear it once on the day of the celebration. It's not worth it! I was just excited by what Xiaoling said. In fact, you don't have to buy a dress from a big brand. As long as the style is right, some niche brand dresses will also be fine. There are so many people at Huahu's talent celebration, no one will stare at me from head to toe."
No way!
Xiaoling wants to scream like crazy: If you dress well, you may not be praised, but if you dress poorly, you will definitely be ridiculed for being too low!
At this time, Hua Bin happened to come back from outside.
Xu Yao treated Hua Bin as one of her own and told him about the talent show celebration. Hua Bin was furious when he heard it: "You absolutely cannot wear a cheap dress. You started your account as a fashion blogger. Now that you have switched from fashion to beauty, you must not lose your taste. I'm not saying you can't wear an affordable dress, but you absolutely cannot wear an affordable dress on the red carpet of the talent show celebration. This is your first time participating in such a large-scale offline event and your first time walking the red carpet. Your clothes, words and actions will send signals to the outside world. You can't let yourself be defined like this!"
How could Huabin not understand the truth that Xiaoling couldn't explain?
Hua Bin comes from an advertising company and is very good at brand packaging. Xu Yao’s appearance in any public occasion is no longer a personal act. Her account and she herself are a brand.
It is difficult to promote a brand, but it is easy to destroy it.
If Xu Yao labels herself as LOW, no big brand will come to her for promotion in the future!
Hua Bin was sweating profusely from anxiety. "Leave the dress issue to me. I will definitely get you a suitable dress."
Hua Bin has connections in the advertising circle, and the advertising circle has one foot in the fashion circle, so it should be no problem for him to help Xu Yao borrow a dress.
Gu Jun stopped worrying about the dress and took the initiative to borrow the jewelry. "A beautiful dress needs jewelry to match it, right? I can help you get the jewelry. Oh, when I say get it, I mean I can help you borrow it. You know that Mr. Jiang is a big customer of those jewelry brands. The distributor I met last time when I bought a ring hasn't deleted his WeChat yet."
Gu Jun brought up Jiang Zhiyan again.
Xu Yao was a little worried. "Is it okay for you to borrow jewelry under Mr. Jiang's name?"
"I'll tell President Jiang."
Gu Jun seemed to know what Xu Yao was worried about. "Don't worry, I won't borrow anything too exaggerated. It will be troublesome if it doesn't match the dress."
Being one step ahead gives you many advantages over others. When the event team of the Talent Celebration officially sent invitations to the invited guests the next day, Hua Bin had already helped Xu Yao get a suitable dress after a day and a night of hard work.
Hua Bin knows a very good makeup artist, and the dress was borrowed from him.
Upon learning that Hua Bin was borrowing clothes for Xu Yao to attend Hua Hu's Talent Celebration, the makeup artist joked, "No matter how beautiful the dress is, it's useless if the makeup can't support it. You came to me when you wanted to borrow clothes, but went to someone else when you had business?"
Hua Bin was embarrassed. "Isn't it mainly because I'm poor? Your appearance fee is too high!"
The makeup artist was just talking casually. Xu Yao is not a big star, just a small internet celebrity, and it is not worth it for the makeup artist to lower the price to take the job.
Xu Yao decided to put on her own makeup.
It’s painful to hire a makeup artist who is too expensive, and a cheap makeup artist is not as good as Xu Yao’s, so there is not much cost-effectiveness in hiring him.
After Xu Yao decided on the dress, Gu Jun lent her a set of sapphire bead necklaces. The teardrop-shaped sapphire main stone on the necklace was dazzling but not so bright as to steal Xu Yao's attention.
This set of jewelry is a perfect match for Xu Yao's dress.
After Hua Bin saw the brand of jewelry, he pulled Xiao Ling aside and said, "Xu Yao's husband has quite a wide range of connections. Is he really just an engineer?"
Xiaoling thought of the time when Xu Yao was almost cyberbullied, how smoothly she found an office twice, how Gu Jun's second-hand nanny car was especially easy to drive after it had been repaired, and how Gu Jun's demeanor was more bossy than a boss's. She was not so sure: "Sister Xu Yao said that her brother-in-law is an engineer, but I always feel that her brother-in-law is very capable. As long as Sister Xu Yao needs him, there is nothing that her brother-in-law can't do..."
Hua Bin seemed to be lost in thought.
If Gu Jun is not an engineer, what is his identity?
Outsiders felt something was amiss, but how could Xu Yao and Gu Jun, who were together day and night, not notice anything?!
Love really does make people blind!
Hua Bin was not going to be the bad guy who destroyed the relationship between the couple. He did not investigate further and advised Xiao Ling not to think too much: "Hua Hu is a big platform. Being an engineer at Hua Hu must have a strong network of people. I was just expressing my feelings casually. You should go to work quickly."
