Xu Jingye came out carrying a jacket and pants that had just been shown.
This is a black T-shirt paired with baggy pants. The baggy pants alone, which will still shock people thirty years later, are shocking enough to horrify the world.
He immediately signed his name on the back of the shirt.
He had practiced calligraphy; his characters were unrestrained and bold, flowing in a cursive style. When he lifted his clothes to display them, there was a collective gasp from the audience.
"This is a work of art! I want it!" A young woman couldn't contain herself any longer.
At the auction, money talks, and after a fierce competition, the item was sold for an unexpectedly high price.
Lin Yaofangfei was so shocked that she couldn't speak. It took her a while to remember to shut her mouth.
"Dear little fish, are you creating a miracle?"
"No, I'm building a brand miracle." Qin Xiaoyu's confidence has been restored, just like when they hit a bottleneck last time. As long as they persevere, they will definitely be able to break through.
The agreement was to donate only ten sets of fashion items, but by the time the tenth set was donated, the competition had become fierce, with the two ladies locked in a fierce battle and neither willing to back down.
The price had already exceeded expectations by quite a bit, and everyone present couldn't hold back their protests.
Qin Xiaoyu understood at a glance that although these two were dressed in custom-made dresses and looked like proper young ladies, they were rebellious girls like Fang Baobao at heart, which was why they were vying for this unconventional outfit.
She suddenly had an idea, stood up, and put her hand on A Lei's arm.
A Lei understood and took her arm as they walked onto the auction stage.
"Thank you all for your support of Riyue Apparel. Since today is a charity auction, I would like to do my part. Here's what I'll do: if someone is willing to donate 500,000 yuan, I will make this fashion item a limited edition and never release it to the market again."
These words caused an uproar. At that time, 500,000 yuan was an astronomical sum, enough to do many things. Even abroad, 500,000 yuan could buy a top-tier haute couture piece. Riyue Clothing was just a mainland brand; it was hardly worth that price.
But it's a limited edition, which makes it incredibly tempting.
Who wouldn't want a unique piece of clothing that they'd never see anyone else wearing?
"I want it!" One of the ladies in the auction raised her hand first. Another one realized it was too late, stamped her foot, and had no choice but to give up.
"Thank you, Ms. Lin Yaofangfei, for your contributions to charity. You've worked hard." Qin Xiaoyu quickly pulled the main character over.
"You're such an angel, how can there be such a lovely person?" Lin Yaofangfei's eyes glistened with tears of emotion as she kissed Qin Xiaoyu's face repeatedly, accidentally leaving a lipstick mark.
Qin Xiaoyu was unaware that when she turned around, the crowd burst into laughter again, but everyone's eyes were full of goodwill. This young woman was indeed very cute, unpretentious, and had a pure heart in her eyes.
A Lei took out a handkerchief, cupped her little face, and gently wiped it. The whole audience was treated to a feast of dog food, and a generous amount at that.
"Little Fish, you're the envy of all the women today." Lin Yaofangfei shook her head and sighed. Seeing A Lei, she added, "You're also the envy of all the men today."
This is what you call a love between equals. That's exactly what Qin Xiaoyu wants.
Qin Xiaoyu brought three models with her this time: Hu Xing, Daya, and Dazhuang. Firstly, these three kids are very capable, and secondly, it's to broaden their horizons.
Having learned from her previous experience, Qin Xiaoyu kept a close eye on who they were associating with.
Fortunately, the people at the party were all from high society and they weren't very interested in the three models from the mainland.
They didn't speak Cantonese, so the three of them ate and drank together, which was quite pleasant.
As the banquet was nearing its end, someone approached them, said something, and handed them a business card. Qin Xiaoyu knew what was going on and gave A Lei a wink.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoyu looked tired, A Lei led her out. The models got into Third Sister's car.
Once in the car, Qin Xiaoyu was already drowsy.
"Don't sleep, we're almost home. You'll catch a cold if you sleep now." Lei was worried and lifted her chin to make her laugh. "You've got a double chin, huh? It looks so ugly."
"No way!" Qin Xiaoyu instantly snapped out of her daze, pulled out her makeup mirror, and looked at herself from all angles for a long time before realizing she'd been tricked. Looking ahead at the lights in the mountains, she knew she was almost home.
Everyone had returned and gathered in the living room. Qin Xiaoyu was greeted with applause as soon as she entered the house.
"It's not as good as we thought, is it?" Qin Xiaoyu didn't hold back and poured cold water on the idea, and everyone fell silent.
"You know what to do next, right? Keep it up! We'll reach even greater heights!" Qin Xiaoyu gave them another pep talk. Everyone knew Qin Xiaoyu was tired, so they quickly dispersed.
Qin Xiaoyu noticed that several designers had gone to Master Liang's room, apparently for a meeting. The meeting seemed to be going well, and the team had already gained vitality and could grow freely.
This relieved a lot of her pressure. Thinking back to the last time she hit a bottleneck, she was the one who desperately dragged a group of people forward.
Now that everyone is working hard, she doesn't have to work so hard anymore.
Only a few members of the Fang family remained in the living room, and Mrs. Fang was still quite satisfied with Qin Xiaoyu.
"Little one, although a piece of clothing sold for 500,000, it was a one-time thing. Even if it were just a single item on the market, it would still sell. It seems like you lost out." Third Sister was quite shrewd in business and quickly did the math. She felt sorry for Qin Xiaoyu.
"Third sister, do the math, how much advertising money have I saved? Tomorrow, this will probably be all the news." Qin Xiaoyu smiled smugly.
“I knew it. She couldn’t afford to lose money with this idea. She’s saved millions on advertising costs. Just think how much it would cost to buy the front pages of every newspaper in Hong Kong, not to mention whether she could even buy them all on the same day. And I’m afraid this will be a topic of conversation for years to come, and it will be hyped up again and again.” The older sister saw things much more clearly.
"This is exactly the effect I wanted." Qin Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue, and A Lei had already brought over the late-night snack.
"Let's stay a few more days before going back. You must be tired from traveling so much. I'll introduce you to some old friends." Mrs. Fang made the arrangements for Qin Xiaoyu, and A Lei had no choice but to comply.
Qin Xiaoyu went to the model's room. Hu Xing and Daya shared a room with the door half open. Da Zhuang was also there. The three of them were still excited and hadn't gone to sleep yet.
"Did you have fun?" Qin Xiaoyu asked with a smile.
"I'm so happy, I'm so full, I have to lose weight again." Hu Xing said regretfully, touching her belly. Models have to be very disciplined, otherwise their bellies will protrude if they eat a little more, fashion doesn't show any mercy.
"Anything new?" Qin Xiaoyu began to probe for information.
"Someone gave us their business cards and said they wanted to discover us and turn us into stars." Hu Xing took a business card out of her pocket and handed it to Qin Xiaoyu. She took it and glanced at it; it was from Huiteng Film Company, a company she'd never heard of.
