Chapter 180: Naiyan
On the day of the KQ Fashion Gala, Cheng Qishuang and Bai Xiaosi stepped onto the red carpet wearing gowns tailored from Yunjin.
“Now walking toward us are Cheng Qishuang and Bai Xiaosi.” After the announcement, the camera shifted from the previous artist to Cheng Qishuang and Bai Xiaosi.
Cheng Qishuangâs hair was permed into regular, elegant waves, and she wore a golden wide-brimmed hat with peacock tail feathers of the same color scheme standing upright on it. Her skin was pale and her lips were red.
She wore a golden long dress. The satin-textured dress wrapped and outlined her graceful figure, with a white plush long coat over it. As she walked, the pattern resembling peacock tail feathers at the bottom of the skirt, with gold and dark green interlacing, was shimmering and radiant.
Bai Xiaosi wore her straight hair reaching her thighs, and on her forehead, she wore a “pianzi” hairpiece typical of theatrical styling, with flowers made of pearls pinned to both sides.
She wore a sleeveless Qipao of crimson mixed with gold thread, with a blue sash wrapped around her arms. The hem of the Qipao was adorned with golden tassels that swayed with the wind as she walked.
She wore “Taizi” glasses with red lenses. A red and a blue tassel hung from each side of the glasses’ temples, echoing the Qipao.
The two came together, one like a lady from the old days who was calm and at ease at a ball, and the other like a famous opera singer with orchid fingers and a melodious singing voice on the stage.
In that era of transition between the old and the new, they enjoyed being sought after by the crowd in a life of luxury, reminiscing about the old days of extravagance among silk and satin. The new and old styles were incredibly harmonious, with each living in their own vanity fair.
[Strawberry Cheese Shop]: Can I ask who these two are? They are so beautiful, walking over so gracefully!
[Cold Moon Curving]: I announce they are the best of the night, no rebuttals.
[Young Man, You Are Hard to Describe]: Sisi is beautiful, objectively beautiful!
[Xianyu in October]: Has any director seen them? Quickly hand them scripts for Republic-era dramas; they are the chosen ones for the Republic era.
[Won’t Change Name Until I Lose 10 Pounds]: I want to know whose work this is. It’s so tasteful to use Yunjin.
[Sea Salt Iced Latte]: They really fit the theme. Everyone else is doing the modern vanity fair; they are doing the Republic-era vanity fair, the only one of its kind.
[Wild Rose]: Everyone, please pay more attention to Cheng Qishuang and Bai Xiaosi’s dual-female lead drama, the story of Fashion Queen, which also takes place in a vanity fair.
Both of them had few fans, but with their expressiveness, they firmly attracted the gaze of all viewers watching this fashion gala to themselves.
1 + 1 > 2 was achieved by them.
Because the two of them had low status, they entered the venue very early, but the resonance they brought caused a huge wave on the internet.
Hot searches and topicsâthere were not only netizens attracted by their beauty but even more netizens and fashion enthusiasts who were curious about which brand and which designer their gowns came from.
Because the gowns worn by Endless-9, who appeared on the red carpet later, were obviously extremely similar in style to Cheng Qishuang and Bai Xiaosi’s gowns.
[Naiyan A&E]: Actress @ChengQishuang wearing a V-neck mermaid fishtail dress of shimmering gold designed by designer @LuoQiaoming…
The already registered brand Naiyan claimed the gowns worn by Cheng Qishuang, Bai Xiaosi, and Endless-9, and Luo Qiaoming followed suit.
[momo]: Where is the class representative? What brand is this? Itâs not some random “pheasant” haute couture, is it? Iâve never heard of it.
[Bubble Lazy Cat]: At a glance, itâs a dress I can’t afford. Yunjin, a true luxury of Xia Country, many people probably haven’t even heard of it.
[Pea Shoot Meatball Soup (Tasted it)]: Iâve dug it up. Luo Qiaoming studied at INGONIâthe worldâs top fashion design academy, and was the last winner of the F&F Fashion Creative Potential Award.
[Cute Dependency]: Graduated from a top academy and winner of the most prestigious F&F awardâNaiyan, you’re aiming for a top luxury brand, right?
[Cheeping Cheep]: I checked and the CEO is Tong Shenqi. That means Naiyan is backed by Qianyuan. Is this a fierce arrival?
[Peachy Blueberry]: Naiyan has great taste. To take the high luxury route, you have to use a rare and beautiful fabric like Yunjin. Isn’t it much better than those plastic bags?
[Hai Hai Hai]: Whether it’s the clothes or the people, they are very good for the viewers’ eyes.
[cookie]: Love it so much.
A few weeks after the KQ Founding Anniversary celebration, when Fashion Queen went online, the red carpet looks of the two leads were praised by netizens again.
Although the brand Naiyan had just been established at this time, through this matter, it could be said to be slightly famous. It left an impression on both fashion bloggers and the brand’s target buying group.
In the car, Gu Wanrong silently clicked to wear the Scientific Research Talent Seeking Halo, and only after wearing it did she get out of the car.
Once ready, Gu Wanrong stepped gracefully out of the car door that had been opened. Almost at the same moment, a middle-aged man of medium build and a kind face hurried over to meet her.
“Ms. Gu!” The middle-aged man greeted Gu Wanrong with a face full of smiles and a loud voice. “Hello, hello!”
“I am Lu Heping, the Vice Principal of Zhongnan University of Technology. Iâm really sorry; our Principal Wan has important matters to handle temporarily, so I will lead you on a tour of our school today.”
As Lu Heping spoke, he enthusiastically reached out to shake hands with Gu Wanrong.
Gu Wanrong lightly shook Lu Hepingâs hand, then waved her hand and said gently, “Itâs okay. Iâll just wander around the campus randomly. Principal Lu, just tell me which places are off-limits.”
She wasn’t someone who couldn’t tour without being accompanied.
Hearing Gu Wanrongâs words, Lu Heping smiled.
Originally, the leadership had specifically instructed him to entertain this Ms. Gu well, but he didn’t expect her to be so easy to talk to. This way, it saved a lot of trouble.
Moreover, he had many tasks waiting to be handled, and he had postponed them all to receive Gu Wanrong. Now that personal accompaniment wasn’t needed, he could use this time to complete his tasks.
The intentions in both their hearts coincided, and it was the same for Gu Wanrong.
This Scientific Research Talent Seeking Halo had a time limit and a target limit. If she went to laboratories and such places with a purpose, she wouldn’t be able to explain the reason with Lu Heping accompanying her.
She was here to “pick up” talent, not to invest in experimental projects.
With a mutual understanding, after a few brief pleasantries, Lu Heping simply introduced some precautions to Gu Wanrong and pointed out several prohibited areas before the two parted ways impatiently.
Before this, Lu Heping gave Gu Wanrong a certificate. Except for confidential buildings on campus that she couldn’t enter, she could enter and exit other places by showing the certificate.
“Letâs go, we’re going to the laboratory,” Gu Wanrong said to Tong Shenba after moving a distance away from Lu Heping.
