Chapter 640: Chapter 275: Direct Confrontation, Hot Oil Blanching Vegetables_3

"In short, you can consider me as the kind of person who personally gets involved in fashion without knowing much, standing on the outside giving seemingly professional suggestions with a niche skill set. That description is quite accurate."

"Very good."

Su Huai nodded in satisfaction, "I really like your self-deprecating spirit and self-awareness. At Xingyu, we don’t do design; what we need is someone with specialized skills in a certain area, someone who matches our needs perfectly."

In Su Huai’s view, five years down the line, Wang Luna could become an internet celebrity all on her own.

She could be a knowledge blogger, making money without relying on looks or creativity, but by sharing her emotions and insights—that would be okay.

But not now; now was not her time to shine.

If she really was that impressive, Su Huai would be willing to offer her a job that was both stable and promising, waiting for the right moment to see what the future held.

"Thank you."

Wang Luna smiled gently, "If I can get this job, I’m willing to work towards being more in tune with Xingyu’s direction."

Gu’s network really demonstrated its power; this elder sister truly seemed eager to switch jobs.

So, Su Huai asked her another more probing question.

"Can you talk about your understanding of fashion?"

Wang Luna shifted her gaze to Yuji, and after careful observation, she asked cautiously, "Before I answer, may I know your company’s strategy for developing Miss Yuji?"

Wow, that’s a thoughtful question...

Su Huai nodded in approval, "Of course. We’re tentatively positioning her as a super-rich, beautiful woman. I hope many girls will admire and emulate her."

Wang Luna’s eyes lit up, then, without thinking, she began to speak.

"What is fashion?"

"If we elaborate from a definitional perspective, the topic is too grand and too vague, lacking guidance for our actions and attire."

"But, if we personify it, then my answer is—"

"Fashion shows differently on each individual. Never standardize, unify, or authorize it."

"For you and Assistant Su—for people like you with the top-notch looks and physiques—you are not the usual crowd, please remember that!"

"For people like you, the best kind of fashion is to wear expensive and niche items that convey a special aura, not just to avoid making mistakes."

"Might this be a bit difficult to understand?"

"Then think about Liu Yifei’s casual wear."

"But my requirement for you goes even further—the design of the clothes can be ludicrous, but they must be expensive and they must have a quality!"

"Imagine one day Yuji doing a street shoot, I would want to see you wearing a ’dead barbie pink’ men’s shirt with the sleeves rolled up high, carrying a 200,000 RMB Hermès bag stuffed with a small dog."

"Freedom, casualness, anti internet-celebrity, anti-socialite, no aesthetics, just riding on looks!"

"However, beneath this seemingly aesthetic-less facade, there actually lies your demand for quality. Never wear poor quality materials, and definitely avoid those eye-catching plastic bag outfits from fashion shows."

"You need to define your fashion philosophy, one that isn’t dictated by major designers but uniquely belongs to you—’I do what I want!’"

"Of course, you naturally lack this capricious ability, so it needs to be nurtured through training. Luckily, I excel in making adjustments in everyday details..."

Very good, extremely good!

Just through this conversation, Su Huai felt extremely satisfied with her.

This approach was exactly what Xingyu was looking to create; not the uniform "Wang-style internet celebrity," but a distinctive and noticeable leading IP with a balance of normal and unique aspects.

To achieve this, image design and artistic empowerment tailored to the individual were essential and crucial elements.

Gu really solved a big problem; without his own efforts, Su Huai might indeed have struggled to find such a fitting talent.

"Ms. Wang, congratulations. The position of director of the Image Design Department is now officially yours; we can now discuss the compensation,"

Quan Quan came in clueless and left just as puzzled, without any chance to show off throughout the whole process.

As she left, she couldn’t help but think: What on earth was I doing sitting there for two hours?!

She couldn’t figure it out, she just knew she had another teacher on her head now.

Teacher Gu was responsible for providing her with the best of everything and teaching her all the essential poses needed for high-end occasions.

However, Mr. Wang decided how these things should be coordinated, when to use them, and how to use them properly.

The rigorous and intense training came without any prior notice, without asking for her opinion, landing on her as suddenly as homework during the school vacations...

How to relieve the distress?

Only by making money!

Seizing the moment before the training started, Quan Quan gathered the courage to ask Su Huai for today’s funding quota, then stormed off to her rest room.

Gou Huai chuckled and shook his head, feeling that our small company was becoming more interesting and vibrant...

Oh, right, the most energetic moment happened just after 4 p.m.

Xingyu, using its official account, straightforwardly confronted the Korean Embassy.

The response is as follows:

[#Tara’s manager was treated violently#]

[#South Korean Embassy issues condemnation#]

Last night, at dawn, the famous South Korean girl group T-ara was invited to our company for a performance, during which a dispute occurred.

On November 13, the group proposed a performance fee of 1 million RMB to us, and since we wanted Tara to collaborate with Dancing Yuji in an interactive performance, we voluntarily increased the offer to 6 million, with the unanimous consent of the Chinese agency, Banana Entertainment, and the South Korean agency, MBK.

We underwent considerable preparation and practice for this and paid the full amount of 6 million to the Chinese agency Banana Entertainment all at once.

But, just before going on stage last night, the South Korean manager suddenly demanded more money, threatening that Tara would refuse to perform otherwise.

Our company spent a significant amount of money and time on promotional activities, having gathered a large number of netizens who rushed to the event, and, with no choice but to proceed, we had to plead with your country’s manager to fulfill the agreement.

As a result, your manager was extremely unreasonable and insulting to our female manager sent for negotiation, even going so far as to physically assault her.

In frustration, our manager retaliated, inadvertently scratching the agent’s face, but also being beaten by the male manager, resulting in numerous bruises.

Our company has reported this incident to the local police station, and the police are currently extracting fingerprints from the skirt of our manager.

We reserve the right to pursue all legal options.

MBK is a well-known company in your country, a vanguard in the ’Culture-led Country’ core strategy of your entertainment industry, and the core competitive strength of South Korean artists being affordable, useful, and professional has always been your country’s key promotional strategy. That’s why our company trusted MBK and paid all amounts in advance.

However, this incident fully demonstrates your country’s shortcomings in professional ethical training, cultural education, and national honor awareness, causing significant negative impacts on all South Korean artistic groups’ development in our country.

Regarding this matter, our company, representing only itself, issues a solemn protest to the South Korean Embassy in Beijing and hopes your relevant authorities will fulfill their duties, enforce strict supervision, conduct serious self-examinations, harshly criticize and curb those who harm the community to prevent such incidents from happening again. Otherwise, your country’s international reputation will turn into a complete joke. The losses caused might far exceed those of today.

That’s all we have to say. Take care of yourself.

Issued by Xingyu Entertainment Legal Department on November 30, 2016.

A huge stone targeted the already heated battlefield and was smashed down hard.

Lately, my attention has been focused on the macro environment and financial markets; this Chapter is also inspired by these observations.

A crash was certainly not unexpected; ever since my undergraduate days, I was waiting for this day, and when writing about the consumer sector, I officially predicted a global economic crisis in 25 years. The current stock market crash is just a prelude, reminding everyone once again to prepare for the "winter."
