Chapter 679 - 345: Understanding King Zhou! Something Big Has Happened
He also instructed Sister Hong and Lao Chen to get ready for the shoot in Jinglan City.
When he arrived at the Hanfu design room in the clothing design department, Wanxi and Jingshu were already arranging Hanfu on the plastic mannequins.
These Hanfu were from a viral series he’d brought over from another world. They were more beautiful than any designs currently on the market, featuring styles that modern Hanfu didn’t have. The production cost for each piece was at least 1,500.
And this cost reflected the use of very high-grade materials.
For example, the raw material cost for a luxury Hermès garment is only a few hundred to just over 1,000. The reason they sell for over 5,000 is that each piece has to cover 1,000 to 2,500 in design fees, not to mention the brand value.
In other words, the materials for his Hanfu were even better than those used by luxury brands.
This also gave the finished Hanfu a more premium feel. In contrast, you could clearly tell the costumes, makeup, and props in the film and television industry were made with low-cost materials, yet they were priced exorbitantly high.
Once the public learned the truth, the industry’s costume and prop departments would be due for a massive scandal, even without the Internet Celebrity Young Master’s online outburst.
Now, the Internet Celebrity Young Master had his fun ranting and just walked away from the mess, leaving Chen Jincheng to deal with the trouble.
When Jiang Xiaobai entered, she was completely captivated by the Hanfu. She asked expectantly, "Cheng, which one is mine?"
"Of course, your Hanfu is a special one." Chen Jincheng gave Jiang Xiaobai a wicked smile, then looked to Wanxi. "Bring out the special one for Xiaobai."
Hearing this, Wanxi shot Jiang Xiaobai a strange look before taking out a rather peculiar Hanfu and handing it to her.
It was peculiar because there was very little fabric. The skirt was extremely short, making it look something like a lingerie-style Hanfu.
"Cheng???" Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes widened when she saw the Hanfu. She pointed at herself. "This... is for me? Why are theirs so beautiful while mine is so embarrassing?"
"Mhm, it’s yours." Chen Jincheng nodded, then began to sweet-talk her. "Their outfits are all beautiful, it’s true. That’s why you need to be special. For example, we could film a seductive video, like Pan Jinlian at her window waiting for Ximen Qing, or a top courtesan from a brothel. Won’t that be way more eye-catching than what they’re doing? After all, their Hanfu might be pretty, but with so many of them, people will eventually get tired of looking at the same thing."
"Really?" Jiang Xiaobai, falling for his line, asked uncertainly.
Chen Jincheng replied with a look of utter seriousness, "Of course. In any case, out of all these Hanfu, this is my favorite one."
"Give it to me. I’ll go change." Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai snatched the scandalous Hanfu and hurried to the dressing room.
Wanxi and Jingshu watched this, their mouths twitching. They were trying so hard to keep from laughing.
They sometimes had to admire their boss. He had the women in the company wrapped around his little finger. He could sell them and they’d still help him count the money.
’Handsome and the boss... he really can do whatever he wants.’
A few moments later, Jiang Xiaobai emerged, wearing the special Hanfu.
Chen Jincheng’s eyes lit up when he saw her in the outfit.
This Hanfu wasn’t one of the viral styles from the other world. Rather, it was something he had brought over from his past life after scrolling online and seeing a beautiful woman in a special, risqué Hanfu. He had thought it was incredibly provocative and seductive.
It was a matter of personal taste, really.
Besides, he figured this type of apparel wouldn’t be hard to sell.
At this point in time, while all sorts of lingerie already existed, risqué styles like this were still very rare in the world of Hanfu.
As long as the woman was pretty enough, something that was partially hidden could be even more alluring.
The key was the pair of white garter stockings she wore, which added a special, impactful seductiveness. ’Hmm, from now on, all the risqué Hanfu should come with a pair of sexy stockings.’
But Jiang Xiaobai was clearly fidgeting. She looked at him reproachfully. "Boss, I think you’re tricking me. This is too embarrassing! My panties are almost showing."
"But they’re not showing, are they?" Chen Jincheng said teasingly. "Besides, when you’re working at the bar, don’t you sometimes wear things even more revealing than this?"
At the same time, he walked up behind Jiang Xiaobai, held her hips, and moved her into a very provocative pose.
’In this position, with a skirt that short, one little tug would be all it takes...’ The thought alone made him eager to try.
From the embarrassing pose he’d put her in, Jiang Xiaobai could sense his intentions. She mumbled, "How can you compare them? The bar is for work. This is a Hanfu."
But Chen Jincheng leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Wear this tonight when I come over. I like it."
"Mhm!" Only then did Jiang Xiaobai accept the situation.
’As long as Cheng came to her place tonight, he could do whatever he wanted.’
Before long, Xiaoju, Li Xiaoyang, Little Su Fei, Sun Yifan, Zhang Ao’ai, Li Muchen... all the "Miss Chengs" had arrived.
After the women arrived, some were reserved, watching him from the side, like Zhang Ao’ai and Tian Xiwei.
Others were eager but weren’t fast enough, like Wang Qiqi and Little Maru.
And some just pounced on him, like Yinyin and Cenchun. The moment they saw him, they grabbed his arms from either side and pressed their chests against him in a clear attempt at seduction.
In that department, however, Cenchun and Yinyin were leagues behind the "Big Pendulum."
"Go on, get into your Hanfu," Chen Jincheng said, rubbing back against the two women’s chests a couple of times, causing them both to let out a flirtatious yelp.
Wanxi and Jingshu then began to hand out the women’s exclusive Hanfu, each of which had been custom-made to their specific measurements.
